Ruan Yin knew what Han Miaoyun was thinking. She just felt embarrassed, so she advised: "Auntie, those noble professions you are thinking of have nothing to do with me. If others want to find fault with me, they can find some anyway."

That's true, but Han Miaoyun just doesn't want to give up. She originally wanted to let her learn flower arrangement or something like that, but now she thinks that she probably doesn't have the aesthetic taste, so she simply gives up the idea. She'll be thankful if she can understand the rules and doesn't embarrass herself when she goes out.

So she lowered her requirements and said, "It's good that you have self-knowledge. If you don't have a good family background and don't want to be a good wife, then have more children, learn some etiquette, and understand some rules."

"Pay attention to your image and don't bring shame to the Xi family. Don't make decisions on your own. Ask for the consent of your elders and your husband first. Don't point fingers at Xuanyao's work."

She said a long list, and finally waved her hand tiredly, saying: "There are some other minor matters, we will talk about them later, ok, you can go back."

If I stayed with her for one more second, I would feel like I was going to have a cerebral hemorrhage. She would then say that her son should find a wife who was well-matched with him, and that she wouldn't have to worry about these things anymore.

"Goodbye, Auntie." Seeing that she was very angry, Ruan Yin didn't say anything. After all, it was up to her to have a baby or not, and her mother-in-law didn't have the final say. As for the rest, she would talk about it later. There was no need to argue about something that hadn't happened. It would be a waste of time to make her angry.

I walked out of the villa, feeling relaxed physically and mentally. I turned my head and saw the main house. I thought that since I was already here, I might as well go see my grandma, so I walked towards the main house.

Seeing He Qiong practicing Ba Duan Jin from a distance, he could not help but quicken his pace and said happily, "Grandma!"

"Yinyin..." He Qiong paused, with a look of surprise on her face, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the main house? I asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes, and you can have lunch here at noon."

"Thank you, grandma. It's a good opportunity for me to have a meal before going back," Ruan Yin said.

He Qiong started moving again, saying, "I'll be done soon, wait a moment."

"Don't worry, grandma. It's quite interesting to see you practicing this," Ruan Yin replied, even imitating He Qiong's movements with her hands.

Ten minutes later, He Qiong finished the exercise, slowly exhaled, and saw a lot of sweat on Ruan Yin's forehead. He said, "Forget that you young people are afraid of heat, especially when you are pregnant. Come on, let's go in."

She pulled Ruan Yin into the villa. As soon as she came in, she felt much cooler. Mei Yu brought her a glass of warm water at the right time and said, "Drink some water to quench your thirst."

"Thank you Aunt Mei." Ruan Yin raised her head and drank it in one gulp.

He Qiong took a sip and said to Mei Yu: "Xiao Mei, ask the kitchen to make a few more dishes." Then he turned around and asked Ruan Yin: "What dishes does Yin Yin like to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it."

"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food." Ruan Yin smiled. This feeling of being cherished always makes people happy.

"Okay, then let the kitchen arrange it and make a few of their signature dishes," He Qiong decided.

Mei Yu responded with a smile and turned to go to the kitchen to give instructions.

Ruan Yin had just spoken a few words to He Qiong when Zhou Yan came over. Seeing Ruan Yin, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't this Xuan Yao's wife? It's such a coincidence that I came here today."

In fact, she decided to come to the main house after she saw Ruan Yin coming through a telescope upstairs.

He Qiong smiled and said, "That's right, now that you're here, how about having lunch here?"

"Then I'll take advantage of Xuanyao's wife and come to mom's place for a meal," Zhou Yan said softly. After that, she sat down next to Ruan Yin, took a look at her belly, and said, "How many months? I didn't have time to ask last time."

"Three months." Ruan Yin lowered her head and smiled.

Zhou Yan's smile froze for a moment. She was really lucky to get pregnant so early. Then she asked curiously, "The Xi family has never had the gene for twins. Could it be that your parents have it?"

Ruan Yin: "I don't know either, maybe."

"That's great. Didn't mom complain that the Xi family has too few people? Now there are two of us. By then your place will be as lively as a shopping mall." Zhou Yan made He Qiong smile with just a few words, as if she saw her great-granddaughter taking her first steps towards her.

He was so happy that he said, "I just love the hustle and bustle. What's the point of being quiet all day long?"

Ruan Yin listened to the voice beside her and looked down at her phone. More than half an hour ago, Xi Xuanyao sent a message asking her what she was doing, and he used an emoticon.

With a smile in her eyes, she sent a message back: "I'm at the old house. Your mother asked me to go to her place this morning. I thought since I'm here, I might as well come and see grandma."

Xi Xuanyao was reading a market research report in front of his computer when there was a knock on the office door. He said, "Come in!"

His high heels made a slight thumping sound as they stepped on the carpet. He pointed to one side of the table and said without even looking up, "Put it there first. I'll take a look at it later."

"This document is urgent. You need to sign it quickly and send it out," a gentle voice said slowly.

Xi Xuanyao felt that the voice was unfamiliar. He looked up and saw that it was Shen Lanxi. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Lanxi smiled and said openly: "Of course I got in through the formal interview channel."

Xi Xuanyao remembered that this was the case. Someone from the secretarial team was about to resign, and she should be a new recruit.

"Miss Shen, have you obtained your father's consent to leave your own company and go to Lai Hui Heng?"

Shen Lanxi was calm and composed, with the right curve at the corner of her mouth. "Of course, since I have decided to do this job, I naturally have to convince my dad first."

Since Shen's father agreed, Xi Xuanyao was too lazy to say anything more. As long as she was capable of doing the job, he would not consider anything else. He picked up the document next to him, flipped through it quickly, signed his name on the last page, closed the document and handed it to her.

Shen Lanxi looked at him quietly, with a determined look in her eyes. But when she reached out to take the document, she saw the ring on Xi Xuanyao's hand. Her face turned pale for a moment, and she asked tentatively: "Brother Xuanyao, what is the ring on your hand?"

"Call me Mr. Xi during work hours. It's none of your business to care about your leader's private affairs. You've overstepped the line!" Xi Xuanyao gave Shen Lanxi a warning look.

Shen Lanxi forced a smile and said, "I see. I just forgot about it because I was surprised. Do you have time after get off work?"

"Busy." Xi Xuanyao looked down at the screen of his mobile phone. There was a new message. He clicked it and saw it was from Ruan Yin. When he saw the specific content, his pupils shrank. He stood up suddenly, picked up his coat and was about to go out.

Where are you going? Before Shen Lanxi could ask, Xi Xuanyao had already left.

While dialing Ruan Yin's number, he said, "Wait for me, I'll be at the old house soon."

"Aren't you working in the company? Why did you come here suddenly?" Ruan Yin felt very strange. Usually he ate lunch in the company cafeteria. Now that he heard that she was at the old house, he came over anyway, and his tone seemed a little strange.

Xi Xuanyao hurried to the underground garage and said, "Don't eat before I come. You must wait for me to come."

The phone suddenly went silent. Ruan Yin called several times and finally hung up. He Qiong asked, "What's wrong?"
