  After Si Jingyu returned from overseas, she had been living in seclusion and did not go to work nor outdoors.

  Ding Mengya gave her a call, and it was only after the phone had been ringing for a long time that she picked it up. When Ding Mengya heard the odd silence in the villa, she actually could sense the same desolation she was experiencing.

  She just said, “My dear daughter, what are you doing?”


  “I’m cooking a steak right now! What’s wrong, empress dowager?” Si Jingyu chatted with her with a tinge of enthusiasm in her voice.

  Ding Mengya tossed around. “Nothing much, I just miss you!”


  “If you miss me, shall I go over to accompany you tonight?” Si Jingyu asked.

  “No, no. If you do come over, Shi Jinyan would charge at me and hate me to death! I really like this son-in-law, don’t try to sow discord between us!”


  Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu paused for a moment before asking, “Mother, are you feeling lonely?”


  Ding Mengya immediately said, “Absolutely not!”


  “Why don’t we go out and have some fun?”


  “No! You have always loved to go overseas since your college days. Out of 365 days a year, you would be traveling for 360 days. You have finally settled down. Shi Jinyan won’t be letting you go anymore, so you should just stay at home obediently.”


  When she said this, Ding Mengya looked at the ceiling. “Also, I went to Zhengting’s place today.”


  When Si Jingyu heard this, she immediately asked, “How’s Nainai? Did the baby show any fetal movements? When is Si Zhengting letting her do an ultrasound to determine the baby’s gender?”


  As Ding Mengya heard these questions, she became dazed. After a while, she sighed.

  How would she dare to ask these questions?

  She had buried all her concerns in her heart because she did not want to interfere with their lives.

  Ding Mengya’s silence made Si Jingyu suddenly realize how ridiculous her questions were. She immediately took back her words. “I’ll go visit them next time and help you ask about your little grandson!”


  “Why not granddaughter?”


  “I just said that without much thought. Would you like a grandson or a granddaughter?”


  “Both are fine. I like both!” Ding Mengya said. “It would be best if they can have more children. If they cannot cope with the childcare, I……”


  As she said this, she paused again.

  Judging from her relationship with Zhuang Nainai, her grandson or granddaughter would surely not be close with their grandma, wouldn’t they?

  Si Jingyu had sharply noticed her emotional change again with her pause. Hence, she said, “Alright, don’t worry too much, empress dowager. All that matters is that they’ll live happily. We’ll find Mother Zhuang soon and everything in the past will be washed away with time. Even if she doesn’t like you, she can’t possibly stop her child from calling you ‘Grandma,’ can she? If she really dares to do so, I would be the first one to teach her a lesson!”


  Si Jingyu’s words made Ding Mengya grin from ear to ear. After chatting with Si Jingyu for a while, she finally got to the main topic. “Jingyu, haven’t you and Jinyan been married for almost three years?”


  Upon hearing this, Si Jingyu acknowledged her nonchalantly.

  Ding Mengya continued, “Are the two of you thinking of having a child? You are reaching 30 this year. Let me tell you, everyone is having children at a later age, but it will be more difficult to regain your original body and you won’t have enough energy to spare at a later age! Also, doesn’t your mother-in-law push you to have a child?”


  Si Jingyu interrupted her hurriedly, “Mother, that’s enough. I have already said that we are a DINK

  couple and that I dislike children!”
