My buildings have attributes

"Okay, yes. You go ahead and get busy. I'm coming over. If you need anything, just let me know." After saying that, Chen Xiaoqi prepared to leave. As soon as she opened the office door, she saw a bunch of cute girls gathered around the door, eavesdropping. Chen Xiaoqi glanced back at the manager, said nothing, and simply closed the office door.

Then she said to them, "Alright, you all heard it, so I don't need to tell you anymore." Chen Xiaoqi was wondering how to start the conversation, but now that they had all heard it, it saved her the trouble.

After hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, they were all very reluctant to let her go. One by one, they tried to persuade her to reconsider, offering many words of advice. But Chen Xiaoqi's will was firm. She was not going to change her mind.

So she said to them, "I know you mean well, but as you know, I'm getting married. Other actors might be able to continue acting after getting married or having children, but I can't. I want to focus on my family first. I don't want anything to happen to my child, and I don't want my husband to suffer."

"Don't bother, everyone. Ever since I made this decision, my parents, Awei, you, even Li Ran, have all been trying to persuade me. But I've already made up my mind, so just wish me luck." Chen Xiaoqi said this with great bitterness in her heart. She was very reluctant to part with Xian, and the painful decision made her feel even worse, so she needed the support of others.

It was at this moment that they began to say, "Okay, since you've made up your mind, we support you." "Yes, keep going, Sister Xiaoqi." "You must be happy, Sister Xiaoqi." They were all encouraging Chen Xiaoqi with cheerful smiles, which made Chen Xiaoqi even more reluctant to leave. Looking at her friends in front of her, she recalled how much she had sacrificed step by step since she first entered society.

As she pondered, Chen Xiaoqi felt a mix of emotions. At that moment, she feigned composure and said, "Tonight it's my treat, what do you all want to eat?" This meal would likely be their farewell dinner. Seeing each other again wouldn't be difficult, but it wouldn't be easy either. They immediately said, "Of course, it's Xiaoqi's favorite, hot pot!" They all knew Chen Xiaoqi loved hot pot, so they all planned to have it for dinner. "Great!" Chen Xiaoqi looked at them and smiled genuinely.

Just then, Li Ran called, asking worriedly, "Xiaoqi, how are things going? Is everything going smoothly? Did they give you any trouble?" Li Ran told her all the things that were on her mind.

Just then, Chen Xiaoqi said, "It's okay, everything's fine. We're having dinner together tonight." Li Ran was relieved to hear Chen Xiaoqi say everything was alright. Then, Chen Xiaoqi hung up the phone. She had other things to take care of.

Many handover tasks were still pending. Chen Xiaoqi, accompanied by her agent, reviewed her recent schedule with regret. She then told her agent to leave these matters for later and handle them at the press conference that evening. Chen Xiaoqi then chatted with her assistant for a long time.

Two or three hours passed in the blink of an eye. The manager called Chen Xiaoqi, saying that everything was almost ready and Chen Xiaoqi could go over and take a look. The time was set for six o'clock, and it was almost time, so she should get ready.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaoqi went over with her assistant. Once there, she went to the dressing room, got her hair and makeup done, and changed her clothes. Then she sat quietly in front of the mirror, gazing at her reflection, completely absorbed.

She didn't even hear the makeup artist's voice. "Sister Xiaoqi, Sister Xiaoqi." After the makeup artist called several times, Chen Xiaoqi finally came to her senses and asked, "Ah, what's wrong?" "Are you satisfied with this look?" the stylist asked Chen Xiaoqi while still styling her hair.

Chen Xiaoqi readily agreed, showing great trust in the stylist's skills. A short while later, someone informed Chen Xiaoqi that the stylist would begin soon. Her assistant came in from outside and said, "The media has arrived. Sister Xiaoqi, it's almost time to start."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi nodded and was about to leave. Time really flies. When she first debuted, she never imagined this day would come. Before long, the event had begun outside. After hearing the host's opening remarks, Chen Xiaoqi was told to go on stage.

Chen Xiaoqi slowly walked over, bowed deeply to the media, thanked them for their help over the past few days, and then announced her retirement from the entertainment industry. The media were shocked by this news; they never expected that Chen Xiaoqi, who was currently very popular, would announce her retirement. The media then launched a barrage of questions.

One question after another was asked repeatedly. "Chen Xiaoqi, why did you leave the entertainment industry?" "Chen Xiaoqi, when do you plan to return?" "Chen Xiaoqi, is your withdrawal related to the man you previously announced your relationship with?" "Chen Xiaoqi, is it because he doesn't accept you as an actress? Does he mind you continuing to appear in the public eye?" These questions were asked over and over again, but Chen Xiaoqi didn't answer any of them. Instead, she went back with her assistant. "These things will be left to the manager. The company will release a statement soon."

After Chen Xiaoqi and her assistant returned home, they prepared to tidy up and go out for dinner. Chen Xiaoqi went to the manager's office and called the manager to come along. The manager and Chen Xiaoqi had a good relationship, so the manager readily agreed. They found the company's main entrance blocked by reporters, who were demanding an explanation. Upon seeing this, the manager quickly came out and began to speak.

Chapter 222 A Farewell Dinner

The manager came out and said to them, "You can go back now. I'll release a statement later. If you keep lingering here, I won't release any more information." The manager's meaning was clear, and the reporters had no choice but to leave.

Then they saw Chen Xiaoqi exchange a smile with the manager before returning to the car. They were heading to the restaurant for dinner. Before Chen Xiaoqi and the others even reached the restaurant, they saw a reporter's report with the headline "Popular Actress Chen Xiaoqi Announces Retirement from the Entertainment Industry," and the following text suggested it was due to her boyfriend, Li Ran.

One has to admire the reporters' dedication and their sharp minds. After hearing the reports from her assistant, Chen Xiaoqi smiled bitterly to herself, thinking this was probably the last time she'd be on the front page. Just then, Chen Xiaoqi suddenly thought, "If only I could get such good coverage when I make my comeback someday."

The news was already being reported extensively in major media outlets, so it's no surprise that Chen Xiaoqi's phone was being bombarded with calls. She promptly turned off her phone; all she wanted at that moment was a quiet meal with her colleagues. A little while later, they arrived at a hot pot restaurant, a place Chen Xiaoqi frequented.

Once inside, they went into the largest private room in the restaurant, which Chen Xiaoqi had reserved in advance. They began ordering food and chatting. They ate and talked for a very long time.

From Chen Xiaoqi's initial arrival at the company to the events that followed, from her initial struggles with filming to Chen Ling's help, her talent was showcased to the audience, and the director also highly recognized her abilities. Then, they recounted how, when Chen Xiaoqi announced her relationship, they were both surprised and impressed—surprised that she would announce it during the peak of her career, and impressed by her boldness in love and hate.

And now, Chen Xiaoqi has apologized to them again. Their conversation has stirred up memories. Then they hear the manager's voice again, saying he doesn't want Chen Xiaoqi to be unhappy, and that they should change the subject to something more cheerful, so she won't be so upset. It's not like they'll never see each other again.

So they started chattering again, asking Chen Xiaoqi about her feelings as a mother. Many women said they sometimes wished they had a child, and many others expressed envy for Chen Xiaoqi. They then asked if the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl, clamoring to be her godparents. This made Chen Xiaoqi very happy.

Time passed quickly, and as they chatted, their stomachs soon became full. Chen Xiaoqi then asked, "Have you all finished eating? If you have, let's go to the second round." They had already eaten and immediately agreed, hurrying off to their second round.

So Chen Xiaoqi and her friends went to a karaoke bar, which was a must-go for their gatherings. They spent a long time having fun at the karaoke bar. Then, Chen Xiaoqi's colleagues sang "With You All My Life" for her, and Chen Xiaoqi was deeply moved.

They sang to each other, and time passed by unnoticed. Eventually, they got tired and slumped onto the sofa, starting to chat again. They reminisced about their first get-together—the same karaoke bar, the same private room. Chen Xiaoqi smiled without saying a word; this was all part of her plan. They talked about how, on their first karaoke session, the manager held onto the microphone the entire time, dominating the room.

After reminiscing about many happy moments they had shared, Chen Xiaoqi asked, "Are you hungry? Shall we start a third round?" They usually didn't use a third round, but this time was different, so they had another round of fun. Afterwards, they went to the night market to eat.

Many women said they had truly let loose today for Chen Xiaoqi. Normally, they wouldn't eat hot pot or things from night markets because they're easy to gain weight from. But today, for Chen Xiaoqi, they were really going all out. They excitedly ran into the night market, indulging themselves this once in a while, deciding to be completely willful today. They'd start dieting tomorrow. Chen Xiaoqi, upon hearing this, burst into laughter.

She naturally knew how much women cared about their weight. "Haha, this is a rare opportunity, let's go!" Chen Xiaoqi said cheerfully. As she spoke, she ran inside. At that moment, they also hurriedly ran inside, saying, "Let's let loose this time and have some fun!"

They ate for a long time at the night market, eating heartily until they had tried almost everything delicious in the market before they were finally satisfied.

Before she knew it, it was already 3 a.m. When Chen Xiaoqi turned on her phone, she found that Li Ran had called her many times. Seeing that things were almost over, Chen Xiaoqi called Li Ran back.

Li Ran said anxiously, "Xiaoqi, where are you? Why is your phone off?" Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi quickly replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm with my colleagues and I'll be back soon."

Upon hearing Chen Xiaoqi say she was about to go back, Li Ran exclaimed in surprise, "You're not back yet? It's so late, where are you?" Li Ran's tone was already a bit angry. Chen Xiaoqi then whispered, "Don't be angry, I'll be back soon, it's okay, don't worry." At this moment, Li Ran insisted on coming to pick Chen Xiaoqi up, and in the end, Chen Xiaoqi couldn't refuse him and had to let him come.

Not long after, Li Ran arrived and walked towards them. They recognized Li Ran and said to Chen Xiaoqi, "Oh, Sister Xiaoqi, someone's come to pick us up! That's great!" After they finished speaking, Chen Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now. Let's get together again sometime." Then, Chen Xiaoqi said to the manager, "Awei, I'm leaving now."

After saying goodbye to her friends, Chen Xiaoqi went back with Li Ran. In the car, Li Ran complained to Chen Xiaoqi, "Why did you stay out so late? What did you eat? You're pregnant, you can't eat just anything, what if you get an upset stomach?" Hearing Li Ran's words, Chen Xiaoqi felt a strange mix of emotions…

Chapter 223 Hospital Prenatal Checkup

Li Ran quickly took Chen Xiaoqi home. As soon as Chen Xiaoqi entered the house, he became sleepy and fell asleep on the bed. After Li Ran poured him some water, he saw Chen Xiaoqi sleeping soundly and felt quite helpless.

He shook his head, helped her take off her shoes, covered her with the blanket, and then went out. After Li Ran left, he sat on the sofa thinking about what had happened recently. He felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Chen Xiaoqi had given up too much for him, which made him feel even more heartbroken. Looking at Chen Xiaoqi, he didn't know how to face her. He always felt very guilty towards her.

The next day, Li Ran had already cooked porridge and was waiting for Chen Xiaoqi to get up and drink it. Chen Xiaoqi didn't wake up until ten o'clock. After getting up, Chen Xiaoqi saw Li Ran sitting on the sofa watching the news, so she said, "What are you doing here? Didn't you go to work?" Hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Li Ran got up and walked to Chen Xiaoqi's side, saying, "You played for so long last night, you must be exhausted. Look at our baby in the belly, isn't it tired too?"

Li Ran spoke gently while stroking the baby in Chen Xiaoqi's belly. Chen Xiaoqi said in a silly tone, "Yes, it's really tiring for us, mother and baby." After hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Li Ran pulled Chen Xiaoqi to sit down and then went to serve her some porridge.

A moment later, Li Ran brought it over and said to Chen Xiaoqi, "Your Majesty, please enjoy." Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi began to laugh and then said to Li Ran, "Silly boy, what are you doing?" As Chen Xiaoqi said this, her heart was filled with joy.

She knew Li Ran was angry yesterday, so she never expected him to act this way today. Looking at Li Ran before her, she didn't know what to say. She simply called him an idiot. But the sense of satisfaction and happiness in her heart was beyond words.

Just then, Chen Xiaoqi's phone rang. It was Chen Ling calling. "Hey, brother, what's up?" Chen Xiaoqi asked hurriedly after answering the phone. "Are you free today? If you're free, go to the new Yihe Hospital for a prenatal checkup. We've been talking about your wedding lately, and you haven't had time to get a proper checkup. The equipment and doctors at Yihe are pretty good. Why don't you go there and have a look?"

When Chen Ling said this, his heart was filled with anticipation for the baby in Chen Xiaoqi's belly. He was about to become an uncle, so how could he not care about Chen Xiaoqi? "Oh, I hadn't even thought of that! Brother, thank you!" Chen Xiaoqi exclaimed in a flustered voice after hearing this.

At this moment, Chen Ling began to instruct again, "Remember, it's the new campus of Yihe Hospital." "Why? Isn't it the same?" Chen Xiaoqi asked curiously after hearing Chen Ling's words, wondering why she had to go to the new campus. Chen Ling then said, "The new campus was built by your brother, and you're going there yourself." Chen Ling thought to himself that his new campus had special attributes, which was why he had thought of sending Chen Xiaoqi there.

Upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Chen Xiaoqi thought he was just bragging again, so she readily agreed, saying, "Okay." After hanging up, Li Ran said to Chen Xiaoqi, "You're going for a prenatal checkup, right? I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi checked the time and asked Li Ran, "Don't you need to go to the company today?" Li Ran replied indulgently, "The company isn't too busy lately, and besides, you're naturally more important." Chen Xiaoqi nodded and then said, "I'll go change my clothes and get ready." As she spoke, she prepared to leave. Li Ran nodded and watched her go back to her room.

Not long after, Chen Xiaoqi came out. She was looking at her phone as she walked over. "What are you looking at?" Li Ran asked curiously.

Chen Xiaoqi said casually, "Hey, the headline, the company's statement. I don't know how Awei managed to smooth things over with those colleagues." Li Ran then came over and hugged Chen Xiaoqi, saying gently, "Okay, let's go!" The two then went out and headed towards the hospital.

On the way, Chen Xiaoqi asked Li Ran, "Li Ran, do you want a daughter or a son?" After saying this, Chen Xiaoqi stared intently at Li Ran and heard his voice. Li Ran thought for a moment and then said, "I want a daughter. If it's a daughter, she can be as beautiful and cute as you. I will definitely raise her to be a little princess."

After hearing Li Ran's words, Chen Xiaoqi nodded. Like Li Ran, she also wanted a daughter, but considering Li Ran's family, she guessed they wanted a son. So the two of them discussed baby clothes, saying that the baby clothes were all very cute. Then Li Ran suggested that after the prenatal checkup, they should go and buy some baby clothes to keep at home.

They chatted for a while until they arrived at the hospital. Chen Ling had already made an appointment with the doctor for them, and Chen Xiaoqi went straight for her examination upon arrival. When the doctor saw that it was Chen Xiaoqi, who had just announced her withdrawal from the medical field, he was initially shocked, but quickly regained his composure and began examining her.

Not long after, Chen Xiaoqi's examination was completed. Just then, the doctor spoke, "Could you sign this for me? I really like you." Chen Xiaoqi smiled and gently replied, "Okay." After signing for the doctor, Chen Xiaoqi smiled again and thanked him. The doctor advised Chen Xiaoqi to pay attention to her diet and rest, and gave her many tips for a healthy pregnancy.

Finally, she added, "I wish her happiness." Then, Chen Xiaoqi said goodbye to the doctor and left. "How is she?" Li Ran, who was waiting for her outside the door, asked worriedly as soon as Chen Xiaoqi came out. "She's fine, the baby's doing well, don't worry," Chen Xiaoqi said, glancing back at the hospital before leaving with Li Ran.

Chapter 224 Moving Back to My Mother's Home

After leaving the hospital, Li Ran took Chen Xiaoqi to a place for lunch. While eating, the two planned their next activity. They happily discussed where they wanted to go and what they wanted to buy. Before long, they finished their meal and headed towards their planned destination.

"Xiaoqi, we've arrived," Li Ran reminded Chen Xiaoqi, and they were about to get off the bus.

So Chen Xiaoqi happily prepared to get off the car. Not long after, they entered the mall and began shopping. They first headed towards the children's clothing store, Chen Xiaoqi excitedly pulling Li Ran along at a brisk pace.

The two bought a lot of baby clothes, both for boys and girls. They didn't stop until Li Ran couldn't carry any more. Not long after, Chen Xiaoqi also got tired of shopping and prepared to head home.

As Chen Xiaoqi prepared to leave, she was still filled with reluctance, saying to the women's clothing store, "It's such a pity, I didn't even have a chance to go in." Seeing Chen Xiaoqi's aggrieved expression, Li Ran said again, "If you want to go in, we can go and take another look. I can put these things back in the car first."

When Li Ran said this, he naturally wanted to please Chen Xiaoqi. Upon hearing Li Ran's words, Chen Xiaoqi shook her head and said, "No need, let's go back first! We can come again next time." Chen Xiaoqi looked at her phone; it was already late, and they had been up for quite a while, so she decided to just go home.

Li Ran was about to drive Chen Xiaoqi home when he suddenly thought, "Where should I put these clothes? At your place? Or mine?" Li Ran felt that they hadn't bought a house yet, and although his current house was quite big, it wasn't new. He wondered if Chen Xiaoqi would mind.

After hearing Li Ran's words, Chen Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep it at your place. If we keep it at my place, you can't live there anymore. If you live at my place, it will inevitably make other people uncomfortable. Let's keep it at your place from now on. We don't need to buy a wedding house anymore. We both have houses, so we don't need one."

"What Chen Xiaoqi said made perfect sense," Li Ran nodded. Then he said to Chen Xiaoqi, "I'll take you to Chen Ling's house. I'm worried about you staying home alone. Your parents are with Chen Ling too; someone will take care of you."

After hearing Li Ran's words, Chen Xiaoqi burst into laughter, then said with heartache for Chen Ling, "I feel sorry for my brother. We've disrupted his and Ningxue's world. I originally invited my mom to come and urge my brother to get married, but I didn't expect my parents to stay with him for so long. I really feel sorry for him." After Chen Xiaoqi finished speaking, she laughed again.

She truly never expected things to turn out this way. Then she heard Li Ran's laughter again. After hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Li Ran thought about it and realized it was true.

As they chatted, they arrived at Chen Ling's home. As soon as Chen Xiaoqi and Li Ran entered, Chen's mother rushed over and asked Chen Xiaoqi, "Why are you here now?" As she spoke, Chen's mother helped Chen Xiaoqi into the living room. After Chen Xiaoqi sat down on the sofa, she said to her mother, "Li Ran was worried about me living alone, so I came over."

At this moment, Li Ran said, "Auntie, let Xiaoqi stay here for a while. I'll feel much more at ease that way, and it'll also allow Xiaoqi to keep you company." After Li Ran finished speaking, Chen's mother added, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm worried about Xiaoqi herself. She's getting married soon, so naturally she should spend time with us. It's rare that you and we think alike." As soon as Chen's mother finished speaking, Li Ran said, "Then, Auntie, I'll go back now and help Xiaoqi pack some luggage and bring it over." After Li Ran finished speaking, she looked at Chen Xiaoqi.

Chen Xiaoqi said, "Okay, go ahead then. Just grab some clean clothes." After Chen Xiaoqi finished speaking, Li Ran immediately got up to go back and help her pack. After Li Ran left, Chen's mother took Chen Xiaoqi's hand again and began to ask about her prenatal checkup today. "I heard from Chen Ling that he contacted the hospital for you today? Did you go for your checkup? What did the doctor say?" "The doctor said everything was fine, just told me to take good care of the pregnancy," Chen Xiaoqi said, looking at her belly.

"It's good that you're alright, then your father and I can rest assured," Chen's mother said. Only after hearing her mother's words did Chen Xiaoqi realize that her father wasn't home.

"I was wondering where Daddy was. Where did he go?" Chen Xiaoqi asked. Her mother replied, "He went out for a walk. He's always so restless." Chen Xiaoqi nodded. She knew her father well, of course.

So she started saying again, "Yeah, Dad's always like this. It's okay, I'll spend some time with you these days." Chen Xiaoqi hugged her mother, speaking affectionately. A little while later, Chen Ling and Li Lili returned.

As soon as Li Lili entered the room and saw Chen Xiaoqi in the living room, she began to say, "My aunt was just saying yesterday that she wanted you to come and stay sometime." As Li Lili spoke, she walked over.

"Haha, then I'll move in. I'm sorry to bother you and my brother." Chen Xiaoqi said cheerfully, glancing at Chen Ling beside her. Chen Ling replied, "It won't make a difference if you come along." There was a hint of bitterness in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi laughed even louder. Then Li Lili said, "This is a good time to spend more time with Uncle and Aunt." Li Lili spoke at length. Hearing this, Chen's mother couldn't help but sigh, "My daughter is so good. She's so considerate and sensible."

She then glanced at Chen Ling and rolled her eyes at him. The three of them, being women, started chatting.

Just then, Chen's mother, not forgetting to send Chen Ling away, said to him, "Go downstairs and buy some groceries. Buy a lot." Upon hearing this, Chen Ling sighed helplessly, "Fine, I won't stay among you women anymore. I'm hiding." After saying that, Chen Ling quickly went out.

So the three women in the family began to have a lively discussion about women's topics. Mrs. Chen taught Chen Xiaoqi how to win a woman's heart, and also reminded Li Lili to learn from her. Mrs. Chen is truly a good mother-in-law.

Chapter 225 Have they formed factions?

Mrs. Chen shared a lot of her experience, talking about how to be a good wife and a good mother. Just then, Chen Ling came downstairs and saw Li Ran approaching with her luggage.

So Chen Ling said, "Let's go, brother, let's go buy groceries." "Huh? I..." Li Ran was a little confused after hearing Chen Ling's words. He looked at the luggage in his hands, about to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Ling.

"Alright, put it back in the car. There are three women performing inside. Do you want to go in and become cannon fodder?" Chen Ling kindly reminded Li Ran. Upon hearing this, Li Ran quickly prepared to put the things back, saying, "Come on, let's go grocery shopping."

Then Chen Ling burst into loud laughter, mocking Li Ran's dramatic change. "You've changed so fast! Go inside and take the luggage," Chen Ling added, not forgetting to tease Li Ran further. No sooner had Chen Ling finished speaking than Li Ran said, "Accompanying you to buy groceries, brother, is my pleasure." So the two men agreed and started walking towards the market.

Chen Ling and Li Ran were both very efficient and quick in their work, so they spent very little time buying groceries. After returning from the market, they started talking about work. "Have you taken on any projects recently?" Li Ran asked first, bringing up the topic of work.

"Yeah, I'll take them on. Some small projects. I haven't been paying much attention to them lately; Liu Yuyang's been keeping me busy. But Liu Yuyang and Chen Mengyao are together now, you remember? She's from my company, you've met her."

As Chen Ling was speaking, he suddenly laughed. He thought about the scene when Liu Yuyang confessed his feelings, and then another thought welled up in his mind.

At this moment, Li Ran said, "Hmm, I know her, I remember her, that's pretty good." Li Ran searched his memory, thought of Chen Mengyao, and then began to speak.

"Yes, that's good. Liu Yuyang has finally settled down." Chen Ling couldn't help but sigh for Liu Yuyang again. Just then, they saw Chen's father returning home as they went downstairs.

Then they heard Chen Ling's voice: "Dad, wait for us." As Chen Ling said this, he felt a surge of joy, thinking that now the balance was finally achieved with three men and three women. Hearing Chen Ling's voice, Chen's father turned around and, sure enough, it was Chen Ling. He asked, "Why did you two go grocery shopping?" Then they heard Chen Ling complain: "Dad, you don't know, upstairs is terrifying! Three women make a drama! They kicked me out, and Mom is giving those two unmarried women a lecture!"

"Nonsense, your mother's theories are all nonsense. What kind of nonsense is she teaching the child? I'll go back and check." As soon as Chen's father heard Chen Ling's words, he hurriedly said. Chen Ling chuckled and then said, "The three of us men should naturally reach a consensus, just like the women."

Chen Ling started urging his father to join their organization, but when his father heard this, he playfully said, "Of course!" "Uncle, you're so cute!" Li Ran couldn't help but praise Chen's father; indeed, he was a very interesting person.

After agreeing on the call line, the three men went upstairs. They had just entered the house and were still hearing Mrs. Chen's voice. They exchanged a knowing smile and then coughed a few times. "Oh, why did you all come back together?" Mrs. Chen asked first. "Well, it was a coincidence," Mr. Chen said calmly. "Li Ran, where's your luggage?"
