After dinner, Shen Yu was going to go to the study room in front with his grandfather and his eldest and second uncles to discuss something. He wanted to send Meng Tao back to her room first, and then he would take Xiao Wangcai back after he finished nursing him.

Meng Tao didn't want to leave, as she had just heard her cousins ​​talk about the various interesting situations that occurred while walking outside. Besides, it was only a few steps and she didn't need anyone to accompany her.

Grandma Xu also said that it was still early and Shen Yu should digest the food first. She told him to do what he needed to do and asked Aunt Ma to send Taotao away later.

Xu Liwen wanted to say that she could also send Taotao back, but was stopped by Xu Yingshuang, who signaled her with her eyes not to provoke Shen Yu.

Xu Yingshuang knew her cousin well. No matter how knowledgeable he was, he was still traditional and feudal at heart. He could not stand his cousins' unconventional words and deeds. He had finally found a wife of his dreams, but he did not want her to hang out with his cousins, for fear that she would be corrupted by the bad company she had.

Normally, he could tease him for fun, but not this time. He was even hoping that Taotao would get something delicious from him, hoping that he would get nothing if he got mad.

After the men left, the women ate melons and chatted in the living room. Pan Lina had been "educated" by her two aunts and was quite afraid of them. And when she saw that Meng Tao was liked by her aunts more than her own brother's wife, she felt even more sour and resentful. She left in a huff and went back to her room, despairing of seeing nothing.

As soon as Pan Lina left, her second aunt Deng Liyun sighed and said to her eldest aunt Wu Danning, "If Lina's baby had been saved, we would have had a grandson by now. Alas, she is still too young and ignorant."

Wu Daning remained silent. Grandma Xu looked at Deng Liyun with a warning, blaming her in her heart for bringing up things that were not relevant.

Deng Liyun paused, then looked at Meng Tao's belly, and said with a smile: "Taotao, how are you feeling recently? Is the fetal movement strong? Auntie knows an old Chinese doctor who is best at gynecology. He can tell whether it is a boy or a girl just by taking your pulse. How about I take you to have a checkup? If it is a boy, you have to take good care of yourself and prescribe a tonic prescription to regulate your body. Don't take it lightly."

Second aunt said that if it is a boy, he should take good care of himself, but what about a girl? Meng Tao muttered to herself, and replied: "Thank you, second aunt, I am in good health. The doctor said that I just need to eat a normal diet to ensure nutrition, and I don't need any prescriptions to regulate it."

As for whether it is a boy or a girl, what does it matter? You will love your own child the same way, so you don’t need to know in advance.

Xu Yingshuang looked at Deng Liyun speechlessly, complaining in her heart about her second uncle. He was knowledgeable and open-minded in diplomacy, and he refused arranged marriage to pursue a free marriage. As a result, he found such a weird aunt, and she could often go abroad with him to see the world. Under his fashionable and glamorous appearance, he still had the old concept of favoring boys over girls, and was not as open-minded as ordinary old ladies.

Xu Liwen's face looked extremely ugly, and she was also angry about her mother's thoughtless words, but she couldn't say anything. According to the way she got along with her biological mother, they would quarrel once they opened their mouths. At this time, everyone was paying attention to the baby in Taotao's belly. She was worried that making loud noises would scare the baby, so she could only endure it and peeled apples from the fruit plate for everyone to eat.

Grandma Xu and Aunt Wu Daning didn't care about what Deng Liyun said, but talked to Meng Tao about preparing clothes, shoes and various baby supplies for the baby, as well as matters related to the confinement period in the future. Everything had been arranged, so Meng Tao didn't have to worry about anything.

Time passed quickly while they were chatting. The clock indicated nine o'clock in the evening. Shen Yu came back from the front yard, and someone followed him into the living room. It was Xu Hengkai.

Xu Hengkai looked a little different tonight. He usually had a poker face and a wooden expression, but now he had a rare smile on his face. Wu Danning went up to him and wanted to ask him if he had eaten dinner, but before he opened his mouth, Xu Hengkai took the initiative to call her "Mom", then "Grandma" and "Auntie", and he was quite patient in greeting Xu Yingshuang, Xu Liwen and Meng Tao one by one.

Xu Yingshuang and Xu Liwen looked at Xu Hengkai in surprise, feeling that something was wrong with this man. Xu Yingshuang was okay, but Xu Liwen found it particularly strange because she and Xu Hengkai were not much different in age. When they were young, Xu Hengkai could still call her "Third Sister" according to the rules. After entering middle school, Xu Hengkai suddenly grew taller as if he had taken an elixir, and looked older. He no longer called her sister, but only called her by her name. But tonight she actually heard Xu Hengkai call her "Third Sister" again in a serious manner.

Was there something going on that they didn't know about? Soon, Xu Liwen found out the truth.

Xu Hengkai answered the questions of his grandmother and mother, saying that he had already eaten out in a restaurant, but when he heard that some dishes were left for him, including his favorite mushroom soup, Xu Hengkai said that he could have a bowl of noodles for a midnight snack. So Wu Daning went to the kitchen to prepare, Shen Yu accompanied grandma to help grandpa find something, and Deng Liyun also went back to her room. Xu Hengkai saw three women sitting on the sofa, talking about something, Xu Yingshuang and Xu Liwen listened to Taotao's words attentively, so he walked over and sat down to listen.

Xu Yingshuang also said that her skin condition has deteriorated in the past two years. It is very dry in the winter and prone to rashes in the summer, which is very annoying.

Meng Tao told them that Shen Yu's friends had sent them a lot of cosmetics from Hong Kong. They were said to be new products just developed overseas, including skin care products for allergic skin and enhanced whitening and moisturizing. She had used them before and they worked very well, but now that she is pregnant, it is not suitable for her to use these things. She will give them to her two sisters to try later. If they work well, she can ask someone to bring them back later.

Xu Yingshuang and Xu Liwen had used imported cosmetics before, but when they heard that it was a new product, they were naturally very much looking forward to it.

Seeing the two sisters' happy expressions, Xu Hengkai thought that this must be something that all women like, so he asked, "Does Taotao have any more? Give me one too."

Xu Liwen glanced at him and said, "What are you going to do with something women use? Are you going to apply it on your face to whiten it, too?"

Xu Hengkai: "Someone needs it. I'll get it for her."

"Who is it?" Xu Yingshuang also became curious, and the two sisters asked in unison.

Xu Hengkai didn't intend to hide it and replied: "Yingying, Gu Yingying. We are officially dating."

Xu Yingshuang was a little surprised, but Xu Liwen had an expression of "I see". She looked at Xu Hengkai and asked, "She agreed? How did you do it?"

"Simple, tell the truth."

"Should you kneel down and confess right there: Ah, Gu Yingying, I love you?"

Xu Hengkai: “…”

Meng Tao chuckled.

Xu Hengkai said to Xu Liwen: "You can shoot your movie like this."

Xu Liwen: "You won't tell me, right? I'll ask Gu Yingying tomorrow. I think what stimulated Gu Yingying to accept a piece of wood like you - well, that scene between you two must be very exciting."

Xu Hengkai was speechless for a while, this was really his cousin.
