He overheard his grandmother calling his two sisters-inw while he was having breakfast.


    Serenity said on the phone, “I was nning to go with Grandma, but she wentst night. I have to take Bei Bei with me, so it’s not appropriate for her toe. I was just talking to Zachary about how the four of us, along with Su Meng, will go to Lao Ba’s house for dinnerter.”


    “Just as I finished speaking, Grandma called. Grandma, is there anything we need to buy?”


    The olddy said, “You guys can buy whatever you think is appropriate. Mainly, buy some food, drinks, and toys for the children. Lao Ba doesn’t have much here, and we’re worried the children might get bored.”


    “Also, prepare a small gift for Xiao Ya. It doesn’t need to be too expensive. Lao Ba hasn’t won her over yet, so don’t give her anything expensive for now; Xiao Ya won’t ept it.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “A small gift is fine. You don’t need to make a big deal out of it. Just bring it up when you’re chatting, and then say you have some here for Xiao Ya.”


    Serenity said, “Grandma, don’t worry, I know how to do it.”


    “Yes, Grandma trusts youpletely. Okay, you twoe over early. Eighth Brother will go to the Zeng family to pick up Xiaoyater. I’ll call Second Brother and his wife.”


    After instructing Serenity, the olddy called Zhan Yichen, who was stillzing in bed.


    The couple were so engrossed in their sweet talk that they almost started trying to conceive when the olddy called.


    Zhan Yichen picked up his phone from the bedside table, nced at the caller ID, and said to his wife, whom he had rolled over and pinned beneath him, “It’s Grandma.”


    Ning Yun Chu quickly pushed him away, urging him, “Answer it quickly, Grandma must have something urgent to say.”


    Even without her prompting, Zhan Yichen answered immediately.


    Grandma was getting old, and they were most afraid of receiving her calls, fearing it was a call for help.


    “Grandma, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or is there something you need us to do?”


    Zhan Yichen appeared calm, but was inwardly quite nervous.


    “Grandma’s fine. You haven’t gotten up yet? You sound like you just woke up. You’ve all bezy, sleeping inte on weekends. You need to stick to going to bed early and getting up early, and you need to exercise regrly. People get fat and lose their good looks in middle age.”


    Hearing that his grandmother’s voice was still strong, Zhan Yichen felt relieved, knowing everything was alright.


    He said, “We’re usually busy, and it’s only a rare weekend off. Sleeping in a little longer isn’t illegal.”


    The couple were usually so busy that even when they slept in the same bed, they didn’t have much time to chat, let alone be affectionate.


    If they wanted to be affectionate, they had to arrange a time, avoid social engagements, and go home early.


    They also had to wait until the children were asleep, otherwise they worried about being disturbed by them.


    “Missing exercise for a couple of days won’t make me gain weight. I pay close attention to my fitness; I won’t get fat in middle age. I’m even more afraid of obesity than Grandma.”


    “Do you three have any ns for today?”


    the olddy asked.


    Instead of answering, Zhan Yichen asked, “Grandma, what are your ns?”


    “If you don’t have any ns, bring Momo to Lao Ba’s ce for a get-together. Lao Ba brought his sweetheart back, but they haven’t officially started dating yet, so be careful not to scare the youngdy.”


    Hearing the olddy say this, Ning Yun Chu immediately said from the side, “Grandma, we don’t have any ns. We’ll get up right away, eat something, and then go over. Momo also said she wants to y with her brother.”
