night.

Back to the residence.

Zhang Shuai'an went straight upstairs and knocked on the door: "Knock, knock, knock!"

A short while later, the door opened, revealing a girl who looked somewhat similar to Zhao Yazhi, but several years younger.

Zhao Yazhi's voice came from the inner room: "Qian, who's here?"

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law." Zhao Yaqian paused for two seconds before replying.

Zhao Yazhi, who was in the inner room, was startled and hurriedly came out, only to see Zhang Shuai'an.

Zhao Yazhi glared at her younger sister: "Hey, Qian, what are you yelling about! How could he be your brother-in-law!"

"You're here, come in quickly." Then, she warmly pulled Zhang Shuai'an into the house, "Qian, get Shuai'an a new pair of slippers."

Zhao Yaqian brought over slippers, muttering under her breath, "He's my brother-in-law, why is he pretending?"

"Thank you," Zhang Shuai'an said, then added, "We're all family here, Qian, call me whatever you like."

Zhao Yaqian laughed: "Then brother-in-law, can you sign your name for me? My classmates and I really like you."

"No problem," Zhang Shuai'an nodded with a smile. "If you have a camera, we can take a group photo. I'll have the company send you a few more exclusive posters later."

Zhao Yaqian's eyes immediately lit up: "Thank you so much, brother-in-law!"

"Stop yelling!" Zhao Yazhi said softly after hearing this.

"If not brother-in-law, then what should I call him?" Zhao Yaqian rolled her eyes and asked back.

For a moment, Zhao Yazhi was really stumped. Calling him Mr. Zhang was too formal, calling him Ah An seemed disrespectful, and calling him Brother An was also inappropriate, because Zhao Yazhi was actually two years older than Zhang Shuai'an.

"Call me A-An," Zhang Shuai'an said with a smile, defusing the situation.

Zhao Yaqian considered for two or three seconds: "Then let's call you Brother An. After all, you are my idol and the idol of the whole class."

""

"Come on in and start cooking. Ah Hong is preparing the food."

Zhao Yazhi smiled and said to Zhang Shuai'an.

Zhang Shuai'an walked into the living room, glanced at the kitchen, and sure enough, saw Chung Chu-hung wearing an apron and busy at work. He then said, "I'll go help her."

Zhao Yaqian watched Zhang Shuai'an walk towards the kitchen and asked her sister with some surprise, "What's he doing in the kitchen? Does he know how to cook?"

"He definitely can." Zhao Yazhi nodded with a smile.

Zhao Yaqian said in disbelief, "Is that amazing? I've never heard of a man being able to cook before."

""

"What are you saying? Aren't many chefs in restaurants men?"

Zhao Yazhi rolled her eyes at her sister and reminded her, "When you're working outside in the future, don't say anything carelessly, or you'll get into trouble."

"I understand." Zhao Yaqian still possessed the clarity and naiveté unique to college students, but couldn't help adding an explanation: "I meant that from childhood to adulthood, I've never seen a single male—"

"Alright!" Zhao Yazhi interrupted her, patting her head. "Go make Ah An a cup of tea."

In the kitchen.

Zhang Shuai'an naturally took over the task of cooking, and quickly cooked the remaining vegetables.

After they finished cooking, two more guests arrived.

One is Rosamund Kwan, and the other is Yu Sijia.

"I called them here." Before Zhang Shuai'an could ask any questions, Zhao Yazhi spoke first to explain.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuai'an didn't press the matter further.

The meal was enjoyed by everyone.

After finishing their meal, Rosamund Kwan and Yu Sijia went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Chung Chu-hung then made an excuse to go downstairs, clearly wanting to give Cheung Sau-an and Chiu Ya-chi some time alone.

"Would you like to see the baby?" Zhao Yazi asked Zhang Shuai'an.

Zhang Shuai'an thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and take a shower and change my clothes first, I smell."

97

"Mmm." Zhao Yazhi's beautiful eyes were full of relief. Zhang Shuai'an's behavior clearly showed that he cared about her and the baby.

Zhang Shuai'an went downstairs, took a shower, changed his clothes, and dried his hair before going back upstairs.

When they returned upstairs, Rosamund Kwan, Yu Sijia, and Zhao Yaqian were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they?" Zhang Shuai'an asked.

Zhao Yazhi replied, "Alin took them shopping; they probably won't be back until late at night."

Zhang Shuai'an followed Zhao Yazhi into the bedroom, where there was a large bed and a small bed.

The baby was fast asleep in the crib.

A strange feeling welled up in Zhang Shuai'an's heart. Was this adorable little thing his bloodline?

The little guy is very cute, with a chubby face and features that combine the best features of both him and Zhao Yazhi. He is truly an adorable creature.

"Want a hug?" Zhao Yazhi suggested.

Zhang Shuai'an shook his head: "She's asleep, let's not wake her up."

"It's different." Zhao Yazhi reached out and picked her up. "If you sleep too much now, you won't be able to sleep at night, and that will definitely be a hassle."

Zhao Yazhi had experience in childbirth and naturally knew how to take care of children, so Zhang Shuai'an didn't interfere in this regard.

The baby woke up shortly after.

Zhao Yazhi then handed her to Zhang Shuai'an and whispered, "Hold her horizontally, with her head resting in the crook of your elbow, your arm against her back, and your palm supporting her bottom—"

Zhang Shuai'an was very quick to understand and soon hugged her. The little one, who was anxious and about to cry, calmed down instantly.

She stared blankly at Zhang Shuai'an, her big eyes blinking every now and then.

"What are you looking at? I'm your father!"

It's just the three of them here, so there's no need for them to hide anything.

The little child, for some reason, started giggling.

"She smiled," Zhao Yazhi said happily. "By the way, she doesn't have a formal name yet; you only said her nickname is Ningning."

Zhang Shuai'an laughed and said, "Naming a child is too much of a brain drain. As the saying goes, 'gentleness and tranquility lead to peace and stability,' so how about Ning Shu? The surname can be Zhang or Zhao, either is fine."

Zhao Yazhi looked at Zhang Shuai'an affectionately: "Then let's keep the same surname, Zhao, to avoid trouble."

After playing for a while, the little baby suddenly pouted and started to cry.

"She's hungry, I'll feed her some milk."

Zhao Yazhi took the baby, then casually unbuttoned her shirt and began breastfeeding her daughter.

Unfortunately, the little guy didn't have a big appetite and got full after drinking for a while.

Zhao Yazhi felt a little bloated and frowned slightly. She said to Zhang Shuai'an, "Go and get a baby bottle."

"What's wrong? Is your stomach a little swollen?" Zhang Shuai'an suddenly said. "You don't need the bottle anymore. It won't taste good when it's cold. I'll take care of it for you."

Soon after.

Zhang Shuai'an said, "Let's set a time to hold a 100-day celebration for the little girl, invite some guests over, and have a good time."

Zhao Yazhi replied, "I asked Aunt He about the date, and she said that the 18th day of the tenth lunar month is an auspicious day."

"The eighth day of the tenth month? That's November 25th?" Zhang Shuai'an wasn't surprised that Zhao Yazhi knew Aunt He. With her shrewdness, she would definitely find a way to maintain good relationships with the people around him.

Zhao Yazhi nodded: "Yes, next Tuesday."

"Okay, let's do it that day." Zhang Shuai'an nodded. "Invite more of your friends."
