We sat in the living room and chatted for a while.

Tan Yan said, "Auntie, I've prepared a guest room for you. Please rest for a while, and we'll have dinner later."

"Thank you so much!"

Tan Yan led Wenxiu upstairs to the guest room.

Ding Yang carried his suitcase upstairs.

The guest rooms are very large.

"Mom, this room has a toilet and a bathroom. You can stay here from now on, as long as you want."

"Xiaoyang, Mom plans to stay here with you for a week, and then fly directly from Shenzhen to the United States. If there are no flights from Shenzhen, I will go to Hong Kong to catch a flight."

"Mom, don't rush, let's play for a few days first, don't make a decision in a hurry. You rest for a while, I'll call you for dinner."

"oh!"

Ding Yang led Tan Yan by the hand into the master bedroom.

He hugged Tan Yan tightly.

"Honey, do you miss me?"

"Of course I miss you."

Tan Yan took the initiative to kiss Ding Yang.

"Waaah..."

"Sister, pregnant women can go crazy too?"

"Hate!"

"He hasn't touched me for months."

"Honey, stop, you're pregnant."

"I asked the doctor, and she said it's nothing serious, just be careful."

"That won't do either. What if something happens? Better safe than sorry."

"Ugh, I want to right now."

"Honey, what are you doing in the middle of the day? My mom's still home, let's talk about it tonight. Besides, you haven't even showered yet."

"It's a deal then, I'm going to have a good time tonight."

"Um!"

"Hmph, did you go see your so-called sister-in-law when you went home this time?"

"Nonsense, don't bring up things that are hard to talk about. It's all in the past. I only stayed at home for two days this time, actually only a day and a half. The time was really tight, and I didn't go anywhere."

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Why would I lie to you? You know it took two days just to drive there and back.

"Hmph, I'm going to check."

"Sister, why have you become such a pervert? Checking me now?"

"I'm going to be a little rascal and keep a tight rein on you, you womanizing radish."

"Okay, okay, I'll let you check as much as you want tonight. Let's not talk about this in broad daylight."

"Honey, how old is your mom? She's quite pretty, and looks a lot like you."

"I am his son, so of course she looks a lot like me. But I don't know her age. I think she's 46. People got married quite young back then, and it was normal to have children in your early 20s."

"Is she still going to America?"

"She remarried over there. Her husband is a chef who owns a tea restaurant, but judging from her tone, their relationship isn't very good."

"She didn't have any more children. That man has two children, but they're not his biological children, so they're probably not very close to him, and their relationship probably isn't very good either."

"It's not like it is in China abroad. In Western countries, people always split the bill, which hurts feelings. My mom probably wouldn't feel any sense of belonging either."

"I advised her to go back to China and not go there anymore. I said I would take care of her in her old age, and she agreed. She said she would go there to get a divorce, which is enough to show that her relationship with her current husband is not good."

"She'll probably stay with me in Shenzhen for a week before flying to the US to handle the paperwork."

Is your mother an American citizen?

"No, no, she told me she didn't apply for U.S. citizenship, she just got a green card, which is equivalent to a long-term temporary residence permit in the U.S. She's very clear-headed. She said her roots are in China, and she won't change her nationality, so she's still Chinese."

"Once she finishes the formalities in the United States, she will return to Shenzhen and will not go there again."

"Sis, the house you bought for me has been handed over, and someone is renovating it. I also want to renovate it as soon as possible so that my mom can live there when she comes back."

"Honey, my house is so big, you can live here too."

"That won't do. Your villa is big, but it's not suitable for my mother to live there long-term. Your parents are still here; it would be too awkward. How can a mother-in-law live in her in-laws' house year-round?"

"Anyway, the house needs to be renovated, so I think it's fine for my mom to live there."

"Okay, leave this to me."

"Sis, you're a real estate developer, you should have a renovation team, right? Why don't you have them do the renovation?"

"When we develop real estate, we basically build bare-bones houses. We rarely do interior decoration. Except for the sales office, which is decorated, the rest of the houses are quite rough."

"I'll be going back to work in a few days. I'll make some arrangements and have the renovation department do the work."

"Okay, it doesn't need to be too extravagant, just something decent will do."

"Um!"

Ding Yang suddenly carried Tan Yan to the bed.

"What are you doing?"

"Honey, let me check my belly to see if it's getting bigger. I'm almost three months along, it should be noticeable by now, right?"

"What the hell? It's only been three months, and I'm not even showing yet. On the contrary, I've gained weight and have some extra fat on my stomach."

"It's okay, this is just a fuller figure. You can lose weight after giving birth."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to lose weight."

"It's okay, being a little chubby is fine, as long as you don't have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar, don't worry."

"Hmph, you're not allowed to dislike me."

"No, how could I possibly dislike you?"

Kiss me!

"Pop!"

"..."

"Sis, stop fooling around, you'll feel even worse later. Let's go downstairs, Xiao Zhang should have finished cooking by now. After we eat, I'll go to the hospital to see your mom."

"Um!"

"Oh, my mom's here. Did you tell her? She still thinks I'm an orphan."

"I told her, I told her last night."

The two went downstairs and arrived at the restaurant.

Tan Yan asked, "Xiao Zhang, is the food ready?"

"Alright, you can take your seats now."

Ding Yang went upstairs.

"Bang! Bang!" The door opened.

"Mom, dinner's ready."

Wenxiu suddenly pulled Ding Yang into the room and closed the door.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"How old is Xiao Tan?"

"40? What's wrong?"

"Hmph, so fat, looks older than Mom, how could you bring yourself to eat her?"

"Mom, people from Guangdong tend to have darker skin. Actually, she's quite pretty. She has gained weight recently because she's pregnant. She doesn't dress up much, but with a little makeup, she has a very striking presence, okay?"

"Sigh, it's all my fault for not being there for you. I didn't raise you well and didn't help you develop the right values. I regret it now. I shouldn't have gone out to work. I should have stayed home to take care of you."

"Mom, it's all in the past. I'm doing fine now."

"What's so good about it? Is this the life you want?"

"Mom, I'm not the only one. While she's eating coarse grains here, I'm eating refined grains over there."

"If you've been eating too much coarse grains, it's fine to eat some refined grains to improve the taste. It's no big deal."

"Hmph, what kind of attitude is this? It's completely irresponsible."

"She's already like this at 40. In 10 years, when she's 50, how old will she look? You're only 34. Do you think you can be happy like this?"

"Mom, I haven't thought that far ahead, nor have I thought that much about it. In 10 years, my son will be 10 years old. Why can't we be happy then?"

"I already told you, at first it was to make money, but now I've really fallen in love with her. Love can encompass everything. Men look at women differently than women look at other women. I don't mind that she's old."
