Soon, the whole family knew about his pregnancy.

This time, it was obviously much more exaggerated than last time, and the family’s reaction was also very strong. Especially Dad, who insisted on coming over to take care of his son no matter what, indicating his determination to be wherever his son is.

However, this determination was quickly overturned when Big Dad said, “You go alone, I have to work.”

It was also thanks to him that Dad came up with this idea. With Big Dad being such a wife-slave, it’s impossible for him to be without a wife by his side, otherwise how could he stay with Duan Yizhou?

Later, considering his tour plans for the next six months, and Duan Yizhou having to travel around the world with him, knowing that Jiang Yi planned to return to China, and having obtained Big Brother’s agreement to temporarily take over UNE Technology’s decision-making, he thought of letting Big Brother take Piglets home to finish his last year of kindergarten.

Back home.

“Luo Songran, don’t you know how busy your brother is now?” In the living room, Chu Beiheng heard his brother asking him to take Piglets back to China, and he completely collapsed, lying flat on the sofa. “I still have Qiaoqiao here.”

Kill him, it would be easier.

Seeing his big brother about to explode, Luo Songran said, “I just want to ask you to take Piglets to Dad’s place.”

“You’re naive, little brother,” Chu Beiheng sat up, placing his hands on his knees, looking seriously at Luo Songran. “Piglets, Qiaoqiao, they will definitely go back to Saint Linton to study. Think about it, the only strong man in the family who can travel around and pick up the kids, it’s only me, right?”

“My sisters are busy at the institute, Yan Nanchen is pursuing Jiang Yi, Galaxy Group wants me to go back, and you two are going on a global tour. Everyone is paired up, but I’m the only one who can be easily dispatched.”

“And Grandpa, or maybe your dad or my dad, may not be able to take care of Piglets, let alone they haven’t even met Qiaoqiao. In the end, someone has to pick up the kids from kindergarten. Whether I pick up one or three, isn’t it the same?” Chu Beiheng felt like crying more as he spoke, pinching his forehead and looking up to stop the tears from falling. “Two groups, three kids…”

The buffalo wept.

Luo Songran laughed when he saw his big brother looking like he was about to cry, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Big brother, if you have to go pick them up, it might not just be three kids.”

Chu Beiheng’s buffalo weeping abruptly stopped, he looked incredulously at his brother, “What?”

Duan Yizhou adjusted his glasses and smiled, “You might have to pick up five kids, because there’s also my brother, and Pipsqueak’s good friend, Lu Xinghe. I used to pick up four like this before, now with Qiaoqiao, it’s five.”

Chu Beiheng’s expressionless face stood up as if to leave.

“Hey hey hey, brother, brother, brother, brother…” Luo Songran saw his big brother about to be driven away and hurriedly reached out to grab his arm, pleading softly, “I’ll be back in half a year, it’ll be soon.”

Chu Beiheng sneered, “You’ll be back in half a year. Tell me, what can a pregnant husband do when he comes back! What’s the use of running around? Sit down!” he said, squinting at his brother, motioning for him to sit back down.

“Then promise me first, just half a year.” Luo Songran was afraid his big brother wouldn’t agree, so he held onto his arm and didn’t let go, almost hanging onto his big brother.

Chu Beiheng looked hopeless, perhaps knowing he couldn’t resist, he sighed, “Just half a year, no more, half a year later I’ll…”

He stopped halfway, what would he do after finishing his Ph.D.?

It seems like there’s no reason not to take over Galaxy Group, right? Become a monk? Go to the temple?

“I promise, just half a year!” Seeing his big brother relenting, Luo Songran glanced back at Duan Yizhou and blinked.

His big brother was the king of children, and he was very willing to play with children. Both Pipsqueak and Qiaoqiao loved playing with his big brother. He was most at ease leaving them with his big brother.

And at this moment, Chu Beiheng had no idea that this half a year was not the hardest part.

He also had no idea that the next three years would be the hardest.

Luo Songran’s younger brother and Duan Yizhou’s daughter just started kindergarten, Jiang Yi and Yan Nanchen had another son, both sisters got married, and both of his brother-in-laws were pregnant.

And he, standing in the CEO’s office of the tallest building in the city, looked out at the bustling city with his hands behind his back, preferring to daydream here than to go home and face the fact that everyone was in pairs except for him.

Because being single means having to take care of the kids.

Counting it out, RanRan had three kids, Second Brother had two kids, Big Sister had a pair of twin boys, and Second Sister also had a boy.

Eight in total…

Chu Beiheng’s vision went black, he was too disappointing.

Luo Songran didn’t expect this pregnancy to be particularly smooth, there was no morning sickness, and his belly was particularly small. He didn’t start showing until about July.

Maybe because the first pregnancy was twins, which was a heavy burden on his belly, now after five years, the second pregnancy was easier than he imagined. And there were very few times when his emotions fluctuated greatly, he was happy every day.

In the bedroom –

“I feel our daughter kicking.”

“Does it hurt?”

“That doesn’t hurt, it’s quite gentle. It must be a daughter, otherwise, how could she kick so gently?”

Duan Yizhou leaned against the headboard, acting as a pillow for Luo Songran, his hands wrapped around him, then covering his seven-month-old pregnant belly. Perhaps the state of pregnancy before was different from the feeling now, which made him feel a bit emotional.

Mainly because Luo Songran had changed.

This pregnancy made this little rascal incredibly gentle.

He gazed at Luo Songran in front of him, gently stroking his pregnant belly, the soft light falling on him, outlining his fair and delicate face. When he mentioned the baby in his belly, there was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes and brows.

Perhaps this was what was called growth in marriage, understanding the meaning of marriage as one grew.

“Baby.”

“Hmm?” Luo Songran slightly turned his head.

“You’ve really grown up a lot.” Duan Yizhou embraced Luo Songran, resting his head on his shoulder, feeling emotional, which made his nose sore. “I remember a long time ago, you always talked about not wanting children. At that time, I was really sad, but now you’re already a good father.”

Luo Songran sensed something unusual in Duan Yizhou’s voice, reached out to ruffle his hair, then planted a kiss on his lips, a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Well, that’s because daddy taught me well. Otherwise, how could I become a good father?”

“Speak properly.” Duan Yizhou saw this little rascal about to tease him again. During pregnancy, they had to maintain a pure mind. These seven months were not easy.

Plus, they both liked to stick together and hug each other, so it was inevitable to get carried away.

Seeing Duan Yizhou about to dodge again, Luo Songran hummed softly, deliberately calling out a string of “daddy”s, and his hands began to act unruly as well.

Fortunately, this borderline situation was interrupted by Piglets.

Duan Yizhou breathed a sigh of relief only then. He dared not mess around with the second child, and perhaps he vaguely felt it was a daughter.

Because of being interrupted by Piglets, Luo Songran could only give up and let his two sons come up to chat with their little sister in the belly.

“Daddy, I made a bet with Xinghe!” Pipsqueak cautiously touched his dad’s belly, then tilted his head and looked at his dad. “Guess what I bet with him?”

Luo Songran smiled, “I won’t guess.” Then he looked at Pipsqueak, “Piglet, you say.”

“Pipsqueak and Lu Xinghe bet on whether Daddy is going to have a little sister or a little brother. Pipsqueak guesses a little brother, Lu Xinghe guesses a little sister.” Piglet spoke truthfully, then squeezed between Daddy and Father and lay down. “Anyway, I think it’s going to be a little sister.”

As he spoke, he seemed a bit hesitant, but it was unclear what he was hesitating about.

Luo Songran widened his eyes and looked at Pipsqueak. “Duan Yuluo, didn’t you say you wanted a little sister before? Why do you want a little brother now? You already have a big brother, why do you need a little brother?”

He already had two sons, hopefully it wasn’t going to be another son.

Pipsqueak sat with his legs crossed beside Daddy, speaking confidently, “Daddy, look, I have a big brother, Qiaoqiao also has a big brother, Fanfan also has a big brother, but the three of us never get the chance to be big brothers. If we have a little brother, then I’ll be a big brother, right? Qiaoqiao also likes it when people call her big brother.”

Luo Songran was puzzled by his son’s logic, “Can’t your sister still call you big brother?”

“She can, but she might not play Ultraman with me. I want a little brother to play Ultraman with, it would be super cool if we could have all sixty-eight Ultramen at home, it would definitely make our classmates envy me!” Pipsqueak made a transformation gesture towards his brother. “Right, buddy! We must always believe in the light! We need to get more people to join us!”

Unable to bear it anymore, Luo Songran chose to cover Pipsqueak’s mouth. “Duan Yuluo, I’m telling you, you’ll lose. Lu Xinghe will definitely win.”

“Ah! No! I can’t! I made a bet with him!” Pipsqueak quickly pulled down Daddy’s hand, then started kneeling on the bed again, hands clasped together. “Bodhisattva! You’re so beautiful, please bless Daddy to give me a little brother!”

Luo Songran & Duan Yizhou & Piglet, “…” Why did he learn so many Chinese traditions from that mixed-blood? Who taught him?

“So what did you bet with Xinghe?” Duan Yizhou saw Pipsqueak looking a bit depressed and reached out to ruffle his hair.

Pipsqueak let out a heavy sigh, “We bet that whoever loses has to be the wife, but I don’t want to be a wife.” He said, still melancholy, resting his chin on his hand. “I’m so handsome, how could I be a wife? I should be a husband. Daddy, give me a little brother~”

After murmuring, he lay back beside Daddy’s belly and murmured about a little brother…

Luo Songran suddenly widened his eyes, shocked, and looked at Duan Yizhou.

Duan Yizhou, “…” He didn’t teach him that.

Just as Luo Songran was about to say something, he felt his pinky finger being grabbed by Piglet. He lowered his head in confusion, only to see Piglet saying very seriously, “Daddy, it will definitely be a little sister.”

In his heart, Piglet thought he couldn’t let Lu Xinghe off so easily.

Luo Songran heard Piglet say this and felt extremely convinced.

“Yeah, it must be a daughter.”

So they let the crying Pipsqueak on the side cry.

Days passed one by one.

On Children’s Day, after the family had just finished celebrating with the children, Luo Songran felt pain in his stomach. This child was born a week earlier than the due date.

It was a daughter.

The timing happened to be at 11:55 p.m. on June 1st.

“Mother and daughter are safe, congratulations to everyone on the birth of a daughter.”

Duan Yizhou watched as the hospital bed was wheeled out of the delivery room, not caring about the child for the moment, and went to see Luo Songran first. Seeing the little rascal looking quite well, his eyes were moist and full of tenderness. “Baby, you’ve worked hard.”

Then he bent down and planted a kiss on his forehead.

Luo Songran grasped Duan Yizhou’s hand, his eyes curved in a smile. “We have a daughter.”

So the newborn’s bracelet read: Gender: Female, Name: Duan Yikui.

Meaning dream come true, sunflower facing the sun.

That night, everyone was extremely happy.

But there were two people who cried, one was Luo Songran’s father, Luo Panzhi.

He sat alone on the sofa, holding his granddaughter, tears welling up in his eyes, muttering, “Twenty-six years, the princess room is finally being used.”

The other was Pipsqueak, Duan Yuluo. He squatted beside Grandpa, his little face full of sadness, muttering softly, “…Why is it a little sister? I lost, wuwuwu, I don’t want to be Lu Xinghe’s wife, it’s not cool at all.”
