At 7:50, Pei Jin finished breakfast, put the porridge he made for Bai Tao into a thermos, and then went upstairs to open the curtains.

"Wife. Wife?"

Pei Jin never woke her up for work, so Bai Tao thought something was wrong and groggily opened her eyes.

"kindness?"

"Work with me."

Bai Tao had only opened her eyes half-asleep, and when she heard those words, she thought she had misheard. Startled, she quickly opened her eyes and blinked twice.

"What?"

"Work with me."

Why?

Bai Tao looked incredulous. Pei Jin glanced at his watch, then reached under the covers and gently lifted her up.

"It's because some people are practically turning fruit and yogurt into a buffet at home. How can we not control them?"

Pei Jin had someone add a screen to his office, moved his desk forward three meters, and added a bed, a desk, and a hanging chair behind it.

MK's new office building has been renovated and is being ventilated, but the smell of formaldehyde won't dissipate anytime soon, so Bai Tao has no choice but to squeeze into this small office for now.

Ever since Bai Tao started working with Pei Jin, Pei Jin's temper has improved dramatically.

Especially when reporting to Bai Tao in the office, Pei Jin's voice had never been so gentle, for fear that a loud voice would scare her away.

When Pei Jin was at work, Bai Tao would draw in the back. Sometimes when Pei Jin went to a meeting, Sun Lishu would sneak in and tell her gossip.

When Bai Tao was 36 weeks pregnant, she stopped going to work with Pei Jin, and Pei Jin moved his office to his home.

At 38 weeks of pregnancy, Bai Tao was admitted to a private hospital.

Three days later, Bai Tao was still sleeping when she suddenly felt a noticeable downward pressure in her lower abdomen. Immediately afterward, she felt the sheets beneath her become soaked.

"Pei Jin, Pei Jin!"

Pei Jin's small bed was right next to hers. Hearing Bai Tao call him, Pei Jin immediately turned on the light and sat up.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling something?"

Bai Tao nodded.

"Yes, do you think my water broke...?"

Pei Jin reached under the covers, tried a couple of times, then expertly pressed the call button, his hand tightly gripping Bai Tao's.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

The Shen family arrived quickly: Shen Wanyin and her sister, Pei Jin's maternal grandparents, and Bai Shen was the third to arrive.

Pei Jin already knew that Bai Shen had secretly inquired about it, so he didn't keep it from anyone. As soon as Bai Tao sensed something was wrong, she also sent someone to inform Bai Shen.

The people from the Xie family were Xie Lingyun and Pei Jin's grandparents, accompanied by the head butler and two elders from the family.

Four people followed behind, each carrying a bright red, beautifully packaged box; it was unclear what was inside.

Outside the operating room, the Xie family stood on the left side of the wall, the Shen family on the right, and several elderly people sat on stools, ignoring each other.

Pei Jin's maternal grandmother was about to make a sarcastic remark when her maternal grandfather stopped her.

"If you have something to say, go outside the hospital entrance and yell at me. Don't yell outside your granddaughter-in-law's delivery room."

Pei Jin's maternal grandmother rolled her eyes and quietly whispered in her maternal grandfather's ear...

"Those two old bastards in the Xie family are really shrewd. If their grandson is successful, he's a good grandson; if he's not, he's a jinx."

Pei Jin's grandfather heard it, but pretended not to hear it.

Private hospitals allow family members to be present during childbirth, and the process of giving birth is not particularly painful.

When the child burst into tears, Pei Jin's eyes reddened as he held Bai Tao's hand. A tear fell onto Bai Tao's hair and was absorbed by the pillow.

"Congratulations, it's a boy, weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces."

Bai Tao's face was pale, her lips almost bloodless. She breathed slightly, smiled faintly, and whispered words of comfort to Pei Jin.

"fine."
