Seeing that Yun Bixue was in a better mood, Xie Limo finally heaved a sigh of relief. He can only do his best to make her happy during this period because after the birth of the child, they would go under the headquarters' restrictions.

Xie Limo rubbed his furrowed brows. The things here in the capital have to be sped up as well.

…

The second day of the new year soon arrived.

Bai Yaoyao waited the entire day for Duan Yanhao's news, but nothing came. She finally received a message from him when night was nearing.

In it, he asked her to stay there for a few more days. When he was done with his family matters, he would come personally to fetch her.

Although there was unease in Bai Yaoyao's heart, she did not think too much about it and told herself to be more understanding. Since he said he would come to fetch her, she would wait here for him.

As for Yun Bilu, she was always by her elder sister's side. Originally a careless girl, she has learned to care for others, and she would personally cook and prepare nutritious meals for her.

Huang Yize, who saw all these, couldn't help but think about what it would be like when the two of them eventually had a child.

Thinking about that, Huang Yize's head started hurting. That was because he pictured that he would have to take care of two children—their child and Yun Bilu.

Huang Yize stopped his thoughts there and then. It would do him no good to think too much. Everything shall follow the natural route, and it would be best to look at things that were right in front of him now.

In the blink of an eye, time has pa.s.sed.

Huang Yize and Yun Bilu bid everyone farewell, and Ji Qiongxin and Xie Yaocang had to leave as well.

Even if Ji Qiongxin couldn't bear to leave, she could only say her farewells since they had to return to the headquarters. They had to be back there to suppress those people and prevent them from disturbing the pair here.

If they insist on not returning, the headquarters would send people. At that time, even if they wanted to conceal Yun Bixue's pregnancy, they would not be able to.

Xie Limo understood his parents and their difficulties.

Although Yun Bixue did not know about the details, she knew that they probably had to return because of something they couldn't control. She could only quietly prepare the specialties of the imperial capital and make a few pastries to bring back with them.

Ji Qiongxin held Yun Bixue's hand as she instructed her about different things. She couldn't bear to leave.

"Mum, I will call you frequently."

Ji Qiongxin almost wiped her tears. "Good child. You have to take care of yourself. We will visit you in the future. I've also convinced that child Limo not to restrict you too much, so you can do whatever you want."

Yun Bixue was touched. "Thank you, mum." Being together with Ji Qiongxin felt more like being with her mother than a mother-in-law.

After Ji Qiongxin and Xie Yaocang left, Xie Limo was still anxious about Yun Bixue, but he tried to control himself.

According to Ji Qiongxin, pregnant women get upset easily. It was better to just do what she wants to prevent her from being stressed out.

…

During the first month of the new year, the Yuan, Jiang, and An family were all not peaceful as schemes simmered beneath.

Jiang Jingshan, who was detained at the police station, screamed her lungs out as she threw a tantrum. However, no matter how big a fuss she made, the Jiang family pretended not to hear.

Jiang Jingshan had no more image to speak of. Her hair was in a mess as she screamed, "This is a plot by the Jiang family! I'm the lady of the Jiang family! They are doing this on purpose to remove me…"
