Chapter 627

"Wife, can't you sleep?"

Just as Xiao Han was standing on the balcony lost in thought, Li Heng suddenly hugged her from behind.

Xiao Han was very familiar with his scent. She went limp in his arms, looked back at him, and asked crisply, "In the middle of the night, why did you come out alone? Going to steal a taste of fish?"

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "My wife has already locked the door and set the guard dogs, where would I go to steal a taste of fish?"

The two looked at each other for a moment and laughed simultaneously.

He lowered his head to kiss her and asked, "Are you thinking about something?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Thinking about what?"

"I don't know, just letting my mind wander," she said.

Letting her mind wander meant she was thinking about a lot, and was full of concerns. Based on his wife's habits, Li Heng reached this conclusion.

Thinking of this, he rested his chin on her forehead and hugged her even tighter.

Li Heng asked, "This evening, what did Mom talk to you about on the lawn? Why were you chatting so happily?"

Xiao Han closed her eyes and said with a smile, "Auntie was beating around the bush, trying to stabilize me, wanting me to give birth to two chubby boys for you in the future."

Li Heng pressed, "Then did you agree?"

Xiao Han's arched eyebrows lifted, and she said pitifully, "When one is under someone else's roof, one must bow one's head. If I didn't agree, I would have been swept out the door tonight. Sigh... my man is very good at causing trouble outside, I can't afford to provoke him."

Li Heng held her quietly, then lowered his head to bite her lips, kissing her passionately with all his might for a while.

He was not stupid.

He understood that in his black-bellied wife's seemingly teasing words, she was actually revealing a point: whether facing Song Yu, Zijin, or other women, she wanted a bottom-line status that would keep her in an invincible position.

Although Li Heng did not say it directly, through this kiss, he silently gave the relevant promise.

Feeling his sincere intentions, Xiao Han tilted her head slightly and urged, "It's getting late, the dew is out, let's go back to the room to sleep."

"I'm sleeping with you tonight," Li Heng said.

Xiao Han hesitated, subconsciously glancing at the bedroom where Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e were staying, then lowered her head and pursed her lips, acquiescing.

Things had already reached this point, she had given him her body long ago, and both sets of parents had met; she felt there was no need to continue deceiving herself. If her honey wanted to sleep with her, then let him.

That night, the two chatted in bed until dawn was about to break before they closed their eyes.

That night, Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo didn't sleep much either.

Hearing a series of doors opening and closing outside, Tian Run'e turned over and asked, "Jianguo, are you asleep?"

Li Jianguo stared at the ceiling: "You've been tossing and turning and sighing, how could I feel at ease sleeping?"

Tian Run'e elbowed her husband in the waist and asked, "What do you think of Hanhan?"

Li Jianguo replied, "You've asked this question before."

Tian Run'e said, "Before was before, now is now."

Li Jianguo thought for a moment and replied, "Based on the observations of the past two days, Hanhan clearly wants to marry our son."

Tian Run'e said, "I'm not asking you about that aspect, I'm asking about her as a person."

Li Jianguo said without hesitation, "With Hanhan's conditions, our Li family cannot find a single flaw; our family has struck gold."

Tian Run'e sighed along with him: "Indeed. Whether it's Zijin or Hanhan, I like them both very much. Every time I spend time with them, I feel a bit guilty. To think that I, Tian Run'e, have done good deeds all my life, yet I gave birth to such a seed. Li Jianguo, you owe me."

Li Jianguo was covered in sweat and couldn't bring himself to refute her right now. He thought to himself that he had been ruined by Zhao Jing for a lifetime.

The next day, the old couple got up and dressed very early.

However, Xiao Qing was even earlier than them and was currently making breakfast in the kitchen.

After Tian Run'e finished washing up, she also walked into the kitchen, "Qingqing, why are you up so early?"

Xiao Qing turned back and smiled, "I had plenty of sleep last night, and when I woke up, I couldn't fall back asleep, so I just got up. Why didn't Uncle and Auntie sleep a little longer?"

Tian Run'e helped out, "We are getting on in years, we can't sleep for many hours a day."

Then she asked, "Are Hanhan and the others not up yet?"

Xiao Qing said, "I guess not."

At this point, the two suddenly ended the topic.

Because both of them knew clearly that Li Heng and Xiao Han had slept together last night, and the significance of this was incomparably great.

After 8 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Han and Li Heng got up.

It was the first time she was sharing a bed with Li Heng in front of her elders; even with Xiao Han's strong psychological quality, she was a bit shy, and only dared to leave the bedroom after peeking out from behind Li Heng.

This scene secretly made Xiao Qing in the living room laugh, thinking to herself that her sister actually had such a cute side.

Li Jianguo and Tian Run'e looked at each other, everything understood without words.

Remembering the promises she had made to Wei Shiman and Xiao Hai in person, Tian Run'e weighed it for a moment, then finally got up, pulled Xiao Han over, and said with a full face of smiles, "Hanhan, come sit by Mom, and have breakfast with me."

The word "Mom" represented that Xiao Han's status in the Li family had completely transformed.

Xiao Han showed a shallow dimple, following her over, feeling both embarrassed and a little joyful.

This breakfast was simple, but it was pregnant with meaning.

Xiao Qing was happy for her sister; she had finally taken the first step and filled in all the shortcomings. Those women outside, even if they wanted to snatch her sister's current position in the future, would have to weigh whether they could pass the hurdle of Tian Run'e and Li Jianguo.

Regarding her parents' words and actions, Li Heng didn't feel it was abrupt; on the contrary, he felt it was a matter of course. After all, in his previous life, Xiao Han was his proper wife, and she had lived harmoniously with his mother at the same dining table for decades; now, it was just a reappearance of the scenes from his previous life ahead of time.

He felt dazed and was very willing to see this scene, as if he had returned to his previous life.

After breakfast, Li Heng accompanied his parents to Beijing.

This trip to Beijing was, first, to send his parents off, and second, to visit Zijin.

Third, it was to inspect the New Future Tutoring School.

Before leaving, Xiao Han asked him, "When will you be back?"

Li Heng said, "If it's fast, about three days; if it's slow, a week."

Xiao Han cleared her throat and said, "Then I'll go to Lushan Village to find you on the weekend."

Li Heng remembered that it was spring now and time to plant ginkgo trees, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, wait for my call."

"Mm-hmm." Xiao Han replied obediently, watching the family of three leave.

From Xu Hui to the airport, and then from the airport to Beijing, it was already past 2 PM when they returned to the Gulou courtyard.

Chen Zijin had received the news from Li Lan in advance and was already waiting at home with her second sister.

Seeing the three of them, Chen Zijin greeted the old couple with a smile, then hugged Li Heng with deep affection.

Tian Run'e watched her son hugging Hanhan one moment and Zijin the next, feeling deeply that she had given birth to a disaster; she felt inexplicably suffocated. Everywhere she went now, she was basically doing firefighting work, and she was very tired.

However, the only thing that comforted her was that her youngest son had good taste; every girl was very beautiful and excellent, making her unable to bear the thought of letting them down.

After hugging for a long time, Li Heng and Chen Zijin separated.

He asked with concern, "Are you busy with your studies now?"

Chen Zijin said, "It's alright."

"It's alright" meant she was quite busy. Li Heng reached out and gently stroked her long hair, "Being with me has made you suffer, I'm sorr..."

Chen Zijin shook her head and sealed his lips with her hand, "Don't say things like 'I'm sorry', I am doing this willingly."

Li Heng was silent, pulled her back into his arms, and after a while said, "I took leave today anyway, accompany me for a stroll later, let's buy two sets of clothes."

"Okay," Chen Zijin replied.

After lunch, Li Lan seized the opportunity to ask him quietly, "Do you have an illegitimate child outside?"

Li Heng was astonished and touched her forehead with his hand: "No, Second Sister, you don't have a fever, why are you saying such nonsense?"

Li Lan pushed his hand away: "I had a dream recently, dreaming that you had an illegitimate child outside, calling me Auntie. I even gave a red envelope."

Li Heng: "..."

He rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to her.

Seeing that her younger brother was about to slip away, Li Lan pulled him back, and then said with a relatively serious expression, "If you don't intend to marry Zijin and Xiao Han, it's best that the first child is born by them. It's best if Xiao Han gives birth to the first boy for our family."

Since his Second Sister said "best" twice in a row, Li Heng knew she had weighed the pros and cons.

Li Heng didn't ask why it was his black-bellied wife, because he understood the deep meaning in a second.

After all, the Chen and Li families were not on the best of terms, and the first boy would be the best way to reassure the Xiao family.

After all, he could be considered to have a large family and business now, and the eldest son of a large family occupied a certain advantage in many aspects.

Li Heng did not give a clear reply to his Second Sister's words, but instead wondered if his Second Sister, who was sharper than a monkey, had picked up any rumors?

Was the dream fake? Was she deliberately using a dream to test him?

Or was it that Second Sister already knew about the existence of Huang Zhaoyi?

Looking at Comrade Li Lan before him, Li Heng felt a bit uneasy internally, seriously suspecting that Second Sister might have had some ideas about Huang Zhaoyi again.

Facing each other, Li Lan asked, "Do you have other thoughts?"

Li Heng spread his hands to indicate: "They are all my women, the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh; I am not that biased about who gives birth to my first child, let it be fate."

Li Lan sneered, "Tsk tsk, what a 'let it be fate'. Since it's fate, then wait until after graduation, let all those warblers and swallows of yours stand on the same starting line, don't take any safety measures, whoever gets pregnant first gets it."

Li Heng frowned, went to the stone bench in the courtyard, sat down and said, "Just say it directly, don't speak in riddles to me."

Li Lan looked back at Zijin, who was chatting enthusiastically with her own mother, sat down next to her younger brother, lowered her voice, and revealed a piece of news: "Yesterday at noon, Huang Zhaoyi's mother came here."
