Jiang Huaian came out of the kitchen and sat down next to An Ran.

"Why did you come out?" An Ran asked.

Jiang Huaian shrugged, "The three chefs in the kitchen are all better than each other. I was just causing trouble when I went in, so I was kicked out without mercy."

Xia Rui interrupted: "I heard that you can only cook a few dishes that An Ran likes to eat. It seems that I won't be able to enjoy this delicacy. I want to eat sour food recently. What should I do?"

Jiang Huai Nian replied nonchalantly, "You can ask your husband to cook whatever you like. Of course, I only learn to cook what my wife likes."

Xia Rui glanced at him unhappily, "I am your sister after all."

Jiang Huainian said: "You are only a few months older than me. Fortunately, my daughter is doing well. Your child will have to call my daughter sister in the future."

An Ran looked at the two people bickering back and forth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You two, you are parents, why are you still acting like children?"

Then, An Ran turned to Xia Rui and asked with concern: "Are you having severe pregnancy reactions? Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

Xia Rui shook her head: "It's okay, I just feel like vomiting when I wake up in the morning, but I eat everything well the rest of the time. I've gained two pounds."

After saying that, she touched her lower abdomen and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Huainian also stopped joking and said seriously: "Pay special attention to your mood during pregnancy. Eat whatever you want and don't wrong yourself. If Brother Hao bullies you, be sure to tell me."

Xia Rui smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Ahao treats me very well. I don't have to do anything at home. We have hired a part-time worker, and my life is no different from before."

Jiang Huaian asked: "What are your plans for confinement?"

Xia Rui said: "My mother-in-law was still talking about this last night. She plans to close the wonton shop in France early and come back to take care of me. She also said that when the baby is born, she will take care of the baby herself so that I can have a good rest."

An Ran said, "That's great. I advised them to close the wonton shop. They feel there is nothing to do in France."

Jiang Huai Nian said: "I'll find you another experienced aunt, so that everyone can be more relaxed."

"You know a lot." An Ran said with a smile.

Jiang Huainian lowered his eyes, gently held An Ran's hand, and said with a guilty look, "I was not by your side when you were pregnant and gave birth. This is my lifelong regret."

An Ran patted the back of his hand gently and comforted him, "Alas, it's all in the past, don't mention it."

"It's time to eat." Li Hao placed the dishes on the table, then came over to help Xia Rui up and said softly, "Be careful."

Xia Rui looked at Li Hao's nervous expression and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, don't be so nervous, I haven't even seen my belly yet, my body is not bulky."

An Ran and Jiang Huainian smiled at each other and also felt the sweetness.

"Daddy, hold me." Jiang Huainian picked up An Qian from An Ran's legs. An Qian hugged Jiang Huainian's neck, and her little mouth opened and closed, making "ba ba ba" sounds continuously. Although the pronunciation was not very clear, the soft and sticky voice was enough to make everyone fall in love with her.

An Ran gently stroked Xiao An Qian's head and said softly, "Let's go eat."

An Qian immediately clapped her hands happily.

Xia Rui reached out her hand, gently pinched An Qian's cheek, and said lovingly, "Our little princess is so adorable."

***

After a brief reunion, Jiang Huainian and An Ran took An Qian back to France first.

After days of long-distance flights, Anran was still a little tired the week after returning to France. Plus, she was on her menstrual period, so she slept very deeply every day.

[Due to continuous rainfall, landslides occurred frequently in many places, and a tragedy occurred on the Pujiao Expressway. Several cars were buried by mudslides, and 7 lives have been lost quietly...]

An Ran was awakened by the sound of the news broadcast. She opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the mobile phone in Jiang Huainian's hand, with a flash of astonishment and uneasiness in her eyes.

"How could such a serious accident happen?"

Jiang Huai sighed softly, put down his phone, and looked deep.

"The company has provided rescue assistance and dispatched Future Go Pro to the scene overnight to detect the vehicles buried under the mountain..."

An Ran looked at Jiang Huaian's phone, her eyes stained with sadness, "The New Year hasn't even ended yet, and so many families have been broken up because of this."

An atmosphere of sadness filled the room, as if even the air had become heavy.

At this moment, An Ran's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

She glanced at the screen and saw it was a call from her mother.

An Ran's heart tightened and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

She immediately picked up the phone and heard a sobbing voice coming from the line.

"Mom?" An Ran's heart sank suddenly, and she felt like she was having difficulty breathing.

"Ranran...Jia Jia's parents are gone..." An Yunxin choked up.

An Ran's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was stunned for a long time before she stammered, "What...what do you mean...gone?"

"They had an accident on the way out of the factory." An Yunxin's voice was filled with endless grief, "Jia Jia didn't let me tell you..."

An Ran's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something. She looked up at Jiang Huainian, tears falling down her face, wetting her clothes.

Jiang Huaian was startled and quickly went forward to hug her, "What happened?"

"Jia Jia's parents... are gone... Jia Jia... Jia Jia... What should Jia Jia do..." An Ran trembled in his arms, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Jiang Huainian couldn't help but feel sad and hugged her silently.

An Ran wiped away her tears and said, "I have to go back home."

"All flights in Shenzhen have been grounded, so we can't go back..." Jiang Huainian patted her back gently.

An Ran raised her head, eyes full of tears, "What should I do with Jia Jia? No, I have to go back..."

"With Jingshen accompanying me..." Jiang Huainian said, and An Ran pursed her lips and shook her head. The death of a loved one is a heart-wrenching pain for anyone.

My best friend lost the most important person in his life overnight.

Who can bear such a blow?

When An Ran thought of this, her heart ached as if it were being stabbed by a knife.

Jiang Huaian took a breath and gently wiped the tears from her eyes, "I'll check which flight is available."

An Ran nodded suddenly and dialed Feng Jiajia's number with trembling fingers.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Feng Jiajia's dry voice came, "Godmother is not trustworthy, how could I tell you..."

"Jia Jia..." An Ran pursed her lips. She felt that the voice on the phone that day was being held back.

Feng Jiajia pretended to be relaxed, but her voice was nasal, "I can hold on, and Jingshen will help me deal with my affairs after death. Now all flights at the airport have been suspended, so don't come back. I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now."

She hung up the phone abruptly and lay weakly in Wei Jingshen's arms. She couldn't hold it in any longer if she said one more word.

The mournful cries echoed at the door of the morgue...
