It had been a long time since she last saw Chi Hailang. His face now seemed more chiseled than before.

  However, he still had that perpetual baby face and a carefree personality.

  Chi Hailang loved to smile and would often wear a grin on his face. However, now, his hung his head in guilt.

  Li Beinian patted his shoulder and said, “What are you afraid of? Your brother-in-law isn’t going to hit you.”

  Almost in tears, Chi Hailang replied, “He’s so big and muscular, I’m scared.”

  Li Beinian couldn’t help laughing aloud as she reached out and patted his head. “Enough already, you.”

  Chi Hailang immediately returned to his normal self. He turned to look at Li Beinian’s belly and asked, “How far along pregnancy now?”

  “Oh, two months.”

  “Wow!” Chi Hailang reached out instinctively, his eyes sparkling with delight. “Can I touch it?”

  \r \r \r

  “No.” Mu Xichen’s voice was filled with displeasure.

  Chi Hailang was indignant. “But I want to!” Then he looked at Li Beinian and half pleaded, “Sister.”

  The little brat Chi Hailang was normally quite insolent and would address her by her name.”

  Usually, he would address her as “sister” only when he was in trouble or needed a favour.

  Li Beinian snorted and said, “My belly is still flat now. I’ll let you touch it when the babies get bigger and you can feel them move.”

  “Wow, when would they start moving?” Chi Hailang had never been so close to a pregnant woman in his life. “Do you mean moving in your belly? I remember it will happen in the seventh or eighth month? It will be huge then, right? The babies in your womb are twins. Will they be this big?”

  Chi Hailang gestured and widened his eyes. “Will it?”

  “It’s not that exaggerated.” Li Beinian lowered his hand and said, “It’s at most this big.”

  Based on her memory of her previous life, Li Beinian casually made an estimation.

  Chi Hailang looked amazed and made another gesture. “Awesome, awesome, awesome.”

  Li Beinian was amused.

  Chi Hailang rubbed his hands excitedly, then tried to flatter, “This is too impressive. Brother-in-law is a real fighting machine, actually managing to get my sister pregnant with two babies at once. Hehe! What’s more, they’re fraternal! Hmph, they’ll definitely be a boy and a girl, a pair of dragon and phoenix kids!”

  Mu Xichen drove on silently.

  Of course, when Chi Hailang was making those flattering comments, he did not forget to sneak a look at Mu Xichen’s expression.

  Sure enough, the man looked much more relaxed than before.

  Chi Hailang continued with the flattery, “My parents often praise Brother-in-law. They say that he’s young and has a lot of experience. He’s tall, handsome, and has good taste. Otherwise, how could he have married my sister? Sister, don’t you think so?”

  Li Beinian smiled till her eyes narrowed. She nodded and suddenly asked, “Are Dad and Mom waiting for us at home?”

  “Yes, yes!” Chi Hailang nodded.

  Not long after Li Beinian and Mu Xichen were married, Mu Xichen had bought Chi Dali and his family a new house.

  Now they had moved out of the chaotic area of Misty Street and into a high-end community near Qing Shui Fu.

  Given it was a residential area that many high-ranking officials and celebrities would choose, of course security was doubtlessly excellent. Otherwise, Mu Xichen wouldn’t have agreed to go to their home for supper at this hour of the night.

  Besides, it would be easy to take his wife back to Qing Shui Fu from here, after supper.

  Chi Hailang was a chatterbox. Along the way, he kept chatting and filling them in with interesting gossips. The atmosphere was almost festive.

  As they chatted, Chi Hailang seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Li Beinian, “What did you want to discuss with me?”
