[6:30 pm. Underground parking lot.] Wen Yan replied. He didn’t type out any extra words.

When Liu Ting saw the reply, he began to laugh again.

Ahh, Little Yanyan was so gullible. He missed the days when he could tease him every day on Lahaisen Island.

After Jian Yunmo sent Jian Yiling back home, he messaged Zhai Yunsheng to come back home as well.

Even though Zhai Yunsheng was speaking to members of the Harmony League, as soon as he received the message, he rushed back home.

On the way, he called Jian Yiling and asked her what happened.

However, Jian Yiling merely told him she would tell him the news when he got home.

As Zhai Yunsheng had a bad premonition in his heart, he drove incredibly fast. He was probably going to receive a few fines over the coming days.

When Zhai Yunsheng returned home, Jian Yunmo had already left.

Jian Yiling was sitting by herself in the living room.

Zhai Yunsheng rushed over to Jian Yiling and hugged her. Then, he cautiously asked: “What happened?”

“Nothing,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Really?” Zhai Yunsheng asked with a frown.

“Well… Perhaps something happened?”

“So is something happening or not?” Zhai Yunsheng said in confusion. He was a bit lost after hearing Jian Yiling’s response.

“I achieved my goal.”

“What goal?”

Jian Yiling reached out for Zhai Yunsheng’s hand and placed it on her stomach.

Zhai Yunsheng froze for a full minute.

“You… You’re pregnant?”

“Mhmm!” Jian Yiling nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng let out a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, nothing else happened.”

“Are you not happy?” Jian Yiling asked as she gazed into Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes. She did not see excitement or happiness on his face.

“I’m happy,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. Despite stating this, there was no obvious joy showing.

“Really?”

“Yep.”

“But you don’t seem very excited.”

“Well, my grandpa really wants a great-grandchild. What I care about is you,” Zhai Yunsheng said to Jian Yiling.

When Jian Yiling heard this sudden confession, she began to blush.

Zhai Yunsheng laughed when he saw this. “You’re going to give birth to a baby and you’re still shy?”

“I… I’m not shy…” Jian Yiling protested quietly.

However, her cheeks were not listening. They were flushed red.

“But this might be hard on you,” Zhai Yunsheng said as he looked at Jian Yiling’s petite body. He couldn’t help but frown.

“Well, Brother Yunmo told me to take a break from work,” Jian Yiling said.

“You told him about your pregnancy before me?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. He caught onto Jian Yiling’s words.

“Mhmm.”
