After hearing his phone ring, Liu Yuyang picked it up and looked at it. When he saw the message from Chen Ling, he looked back at Chen Ling.

Just then, Chen Ling smiled at Liu Yuyang.

Liu Yuyang then laughed. However, his laugh was bitter; it was a forced smile. He and Chen Mengyao were in this state because of their own actions, and so, wanting to reconcile, he didn't know how.

"Liu Yuyang looks quite pitiful," Li Lili said softly, turning to Chen Ling.

"Yes, but he'll have to rely on himself from now on. There's not much we can do to help," Chen Ling said calmly.

"Yes, I'm willing but unable," Li Lili said helplessly.

"I'm powerless to do it," Chen Ling said.

Not long after, Chen Ling and his team returned to the company. As soon as they got out of the car, Chen Ling hurriedly said to them, "I'm sure everyone had a lot of fun these past two days of team building. At the same time, I know you're all very tired. Go back and get some rest today, and let's get back to work tomorrow."

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he quickly took Li Lili back home.

"What time is it?" Chen Ling asked Li Lili while driving.

Upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili quickly turned on her phone. After checking the time, she said, "It's only two o'clock, there's still plenty of time, no need to rush."

"Okay." After hearing this, Chen Ling calmed down considerably.

Chen Ling hadn't checked the time and thought it was already quite late. Knowing that Chen Xiaoqi and the others were still waiting at home, Chen Ling couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Xiaoqi and the others, are you a little panicked?" Li Lili asked with a smile.

"I mainly want to see Qingqing. Everyone says children change every day, and I want to see what she looks like now," Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Chen Ling, do you like children that much?" Li Lili turned to look at Chen Ling and asked seriously.

“I wasn’t used to it before, but lately I don’t know why, I just really like children. What’s up? Are you thinking of having one with me?” Chen Ling turned to look at Li Lili and said.

“Well, once we’re done with company matters, let’s have a baby,” Li Lili said.

"Are you serious? You really want to?" Chen Ling asked excitedly after hearing Li Lili's words.

"Drive carefully," Li Lili said.

Seeing Chen Ling's happy expression, like that of a child, Li Lili wondered to herself, "Is this enough?"

"Okay, okay," Chen Ling quickly agreed to Li Lili.

Then Li Lili continued, "Let me tell you, it's true, I've made up my mind."

"That's great news! Let's go out for dinner tonight," Chen Ling said happily.

"Don't be in such a hurry, it's not even close to being a done deal yet," Li Lili said helplessly.

As soon as Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately laughed again.

"What's the big deal? As long as you're willing, it's just a matter of time. Haha, I'm so happy!" Chen Ling continued.

“It’s not like I can just say I’m willing to do this. I’m not even pregnant yet. We’re just making this plan now. Besides, we haven’t finished our work at the company yet. Don’t rush, we can be happy after I get pregnant,” Li Lili said, trying to calm Chen Ling’s excited emotions.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. I'll listen to you." Chen Ling said cheerfully.

So Li Lili watched Chen Ling's satisfied expression, and felt extremely happy herself. Seeing Chen Ling so happy because of her words filled her with warmth and joy.

However, Chen Ling happily hummed a little tune all the way home.

"Let me tell you, when we get home, I'm going to tell Mom and Dad this good news," Chen Ling said again.

"What good news? It can't be..." Li Lili said in surprise.

"This is it! Isn't this good news? I must tell Mom and Dad right away," Chen Ling continued.

"Come on, I already told you, we're not even close to getting anything done yet. Don't get so excited. You can tell them when you're pregnant," Li Lili said helplessly.

Fortunately, Chen Ling was still able to understand what Li Lili was saying.

“You’re right, they get easily agitated. Let’s not tell them yet, so they won’t ask us all sorts of questions later,” Chen Ling said.

Li Lili was relieved after hearing Chen Ling's words.

Soon, Chen Ling and Li Lili returned home.

After parking the car, Chen Ling took Li Lili's hand and went up to her.

"Let me tell you, I'd be so happy if you were willing to have my child," Chen Ling said, looking at Li Lili.

"Oh? As long as you're happy," Li Lili said casually.

"Haha." Chen Ling laughed again.

"Mom and Dad, we're back," Chen Ling and Li Lili said as soon as they entered the house.

"Shh, keep your voice down, Qingqing just fell asleep," Mrs. Chen said quickly.

"Oh, okay, okay," Li Lili said.

"I was thinking of coming back and hugging my niece as soon as possible, but I didn't expect her to fall asleep," Chen Ling said dejectedly.

"So what? She'll wake up soon. She's just a kid; it's normal for her to sleep and wake up all the time," Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Then we'll just have to wait for her to wake up," Chen Ling said, feeling wronged.

“Brother, since you like children so much, why don’t you and my sister-in-law have another one?” Li Ran said from the side.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Before Li Lili could remind Chen Ling not to say it, Chen Ling blurted it out again.

However, upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were even more delighted.

"Are you serious? You're really planning to have a baby now?" Mrs. Chen asked excitedly.

“Yes, Mom, we’re really planning to have a baby. So you and Dad can just stay here and focus on helping Ningxue recover,” Chen Ling said with a smile.

Chen's parents were overjoyed after hearing Chen Ling's words.

Chapter 386 My Darling Baby

Chen Ling's words made his parents very happy. So they decided to settle down here and help Li Lili recover her health; that was their most important thing.

Then Chen's mother said to Li Lili, "Ningxue, don't worry, I will definitely raise you to be plump and healthy."

However, after hearing Chen's mother's words, Li Lili's face was full of bitter smiles. She didn't know what to do either. She could only comfort herself in her heart, saying, "Never mind. Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

So Li Lili looked up at Chen's mother and smiled, saying, "Okay, then thank you, Mom."

"Don't be so polite! We're all family," Mr. Chen said happily from the side.

"By the way, Li Ran, what have you been busy with lately?" Chen Ling asked. "Nothing much, just some charity work," Li Ran replied, initially surprised.

"Come to the study, I need to talk to you about something," Chen Ling said again.

"Okay." Li Ran replied immediately upon hearing this. Then Chen Ling led Li Ran into the study.

"It's alright, let's continue chatting," Li Lili said quickly, seeing the curious looks on Chen's mother's face.

"What's wrong? Xiaoxue, did something happen?" Mr. Chen asked.

“Dad, you’re overthinking it. What could possibly happen? What else could those two talk about besides work? Let them talk about work if they want,” Li Lili continued.

After Li Lili finished speaking, she turned to look at Chen Xiaoqi, signaling her to quickly say something in her place.

Chen Xiaoqi then understood what Li Lili meant and said, "Yes, Dad, they've always been like this."

"That's true, forget it, let's ignore them." After hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Chen's father turned to look at Chen Xiaoqi and then spoke again.

“Come on, Mom, let’s continue our chat. Where were we?” Chen Xiaoqi asked deliberately.

So Mrs. Chen and the others continued chatting in the living room. However, the two people in the study were not so relaxed.

As soon as Li Ran entered, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

“Yes, something’s happened at the company. Have you heard of W Group?” Chen Ling asked.

"I've never heard of it," Li Ran said, shaking his head.

"Sigh! Our company recently had a project snatched away by the W Group," Chen Ling said helplessly.

However, Li Ran was astonished when he heard this. He said incredulously, "How is this possible? Your company's reputation is unmatched anywhere else. How could it have been stolen?"

“This company might be related to a company we had a falling out with before, but Liu Yuyang has already dealt with that company. I don’t know why they’ve come after so long. We’re not afraid of them in terms of ability, but they’re operating in the shadows, and we don’t know what their purpose is. Never mind, it’s okay, I’ll think about it.” Chen Ling continued.

"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know," Li Ran said quickly.

"Don't worry, if I need your help, I'll definitely let you know," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Ran immediately asked, "So what are your plans next?"

"You say you have plans, but I really don't know what to do next. Let's just take it one step at a time," Chen Ling said with a smile.

“That’s true. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, so it’s indeed difficult to make a move. Let’s just deal with whatever they say as they go,” Li Ran said with a smile.

Just then, Qingqing started crying in the room. As soon as Chen Ling heard Qingqing's voice, he immediately ran over.

"My God, this is so exaggerated." Li Ran, Qingqing's biological father, exclaimed upon seeing Chen Ling's flustered state. Li Ran thought to himself, "Who's Qingqing's father here? He's even more panicked than me. It seems this brother-in-law really loves children." Li Ran stood there, muttering to himself.

However, Chen Ling had already run to Qingqing's side and started coaxing her.

Upon hearing Qingqing's cries, Chen Xiaoqi immediately stood up to pick her up, but when she saw Chen Ling approach, she sat back down. She remembered that Chen Ling had said he wanted to see Qingqing when he returned, and since he had rushed over so hastily, she decided not to join in.

"Qingqing, don't cry, don't cry," Chen Ling said, holding Qingqing and rocking her.

Chen Ling now looked quite the part, truly like a new dad.

"Come here, let me kiss you, kiss my baby," Chen Ling said, holding Qingqing in his arms.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he began kissing Qingqing's forehead. At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi said again, "When did my brother become so fond of children? I didn't know that."

"That's easy, it's just that fatherly love is beginning to blossom," Mrs. Chen said with a smile, looking in Qingqing's direction.

"Haha, he was so reluctant to get married back then. Look at him now after we got married, he's changed so fast!" Chen Xiaoqi said with a laugh.

“How can this be bad? Your brother is a good person, that’s a good thing,” Mr. Chen said, sitting to the side.

"Who said it's not a good thing? I know it's a good thing. I'm just curious, curious about what my brother went through to change so much," Chen Xiaoqi muttered.

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother calmly said, "What nonsense are you thinking? What else can your brother go through? He's reached that age, so of course he wants to be a father. What's so strange or unusual about that?"

“That’s right, what’s the big deal? He’s Qingqing’s uncle. It’s only natural that he cares about her,” Mr. Chen continued, picking up where Mrs. Chen left off.

However, Chen Xiaoqi was still unconvinced after hearing this. So she asked Li Lili again, "Sister-in-law, do you know what my brother went through to become like this?"

"Nothing happened, you're overthinking it," Li Lili said awkwardly.
