Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ou Ming had been working late in the office for the past two days.
When Yu Lili returned from her jog, Ou Ming was still asleep in bed.
Yu Lili took her time to prepare breakfast. When she was done, she took a bite off a slice of bread and walked into the bedroom.

The door to the bathroom wasn’t closed, so Yu Lili walked in. She leaned against the door. With the bread still in her mouth, she said, “I think Qianci is pregnant again.”
Ou Ming paused in the action of washing his face and turned to face her. “She’s pregnant again?” He finished up washing his face and commented, “Second Brother is really quick! He just got back not too long ago and just got familiar with the kids. Now, there’s another one coming? Tch!” He clicked his tongue.
Yu Lili watched him calmly and shoved the rest of the bread into her mouth. She said, “I’ve finished preparing breakfast. Come and eat.”
Ou Ming hung his towel up to dry. When he turned around, Yu Lili had already made her way downstairs.
He put on a fresh set of clothing and went down after her.
Yu Lili was at the table looking at her phone. When she heard footsteps, she said, “Uncle Wen sent me a text message.”
Ou Ming went over to the table and sat by her side. He took a sip of milk and asked, “What did he say?”
“He said that man from the Zhen family wants to come and meet me.” Yu Lili drank her milk without even looking up. “I don’t want to go. It’s meaningless.”
“Uncle Wen told Zhen Xianlang about it?” Ou Ming looked at Yu Lili. “Why do you not want to go? He’s still your father, after all.”
“I don’t want such a father,” Yu Lili said. “He already has his own family. I see no need to interrupt their lives. Ou Ming, I feel really strongly about this.”
She had once looked forward to the day that she could meet her parents. When she found out that her parents were Chi Xian and Zhen Xianlang, that desire had disappeared.
Besides, she was already a grown woman. She didn’t need parents anymore.
“How do you intend to tell that to Uncle Wen? He’s come all the way from Fujian. If you refuse to meet him, you’ll be putting Uncle Wen in a difficult position.” Ou Ming gazed at her as he chewed his bread. His eyes looked meaningful as he said, “I think that you should meet him at least once, regardless. Furthermore, I have a feeling that things might not be as simple as we think they are.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYu Lili stiffened in shock and looked at him with an expression of incomprehension. What does he mean by that?
Ou Ming did not explain himself. Yu Lili finally agreed to meet Zhen Xianlang.
When Zhen Xianlang reached Kingstown, she was drawing at home. Ou Ming was at the office.
Yu Lili was too engrossed in her drawing and hadn’t realized the time. When her phone rang, it was already noon. It was Ou Ming calling.
“Wifey, Uncle Wen and Uncle Zhen have reached Kingstown,” he said. “Where are you? I’ll come to pick you up.”
“I’m at home,” she replied. “Just pick him up from the airport. I’ll head over on my own. I’ll look for an appropriate restaurant and let know you know the address.”
“OK,” Ou Ming said.
After they made their agreement, Yu Lili had reservations made for a private room in a restaurant. She hurriedly got ready, put on some makeup, and drove to the restaurant.
When she arrived, she found out that the group was already waiting there for her. As she walked in, the first person she saw was her husband, followed by Uncle Wen, and finally Zhen Xianlang.
Zhen Xianlang had put on a bit of weight since the last time they met. He was very tall. His cheekbones were high, and his eyes beneath his glasses were energetic.
When he saw Yu Lili enter, a smile appeared on his face. “We meet again,” he said.
