Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai had a daughter; originally he didn't want anyone to know, especially the people at the company — after all, this was his family private matter.

But these past two days he has to accompany Zhang Yueran, at least until Zhang Yueran is discharged from the hospital, then he'll go back to work, so he must explain his leave reason to Zhang Sheng, to the Liguo Mountain Board of Directors.

And once he explained, that drew quite a few people coming over to offer congratulations.

Right now, he had just seen off Big Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Third Brother and that whole group, and before long Zhang Sheng arrived at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital carrying precious gifts.

And without even asking Wang Erhai, he made his way straight to the delivery room where Zhang Yueran was.

Wang Erhai could only hurriedly receive him politely.

"Erhai, congratulations! This child of yours will be a little rich miss from now on!"

Zhang Sheng's tone was affable, carrying the air of an elder, an old acquaintance.

Someone unaware of the situation would think he was Wang Erhai's relative.

Wang Erhai busily thanked him:

"General Manager Zhang, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here, really, thank you so much. These gifts of yours are too precious — why don't you take them back?"

Wang Erhai glanced at the gifts, and inside was actually a small doll crafted from pure gold!

This was indeed far too precious!

But Zhang Sheng said:

"Erhai, don't stand on ceremony with me. What's our relationship? Partners in Sheng Hai Company — just accept it!"

Wang Erhai declined again and again, yet couldn't refuse, and in the end could only speak words of gratitude and accept Zhang Sheng's precious gift.

After Zhang Sheng left, quite a few Liguo Mountain executives came one after another to see Zhang Yueran; many also asked when the Full Moon Banquet would be held, and Wang Erhai could only respond politely, saying a good day would be chosen later and invitations sent to them.

Actually Wang Erhai never thought about holding a Full Moon Banquet at all, and Zhang Yueran never thought about it either. The two of them even got married by just casually registering and that was it — no wedding ceremony held. Even the agreed honeymoon trip fell through later due to certain reasons and because Zhang Yueran found it troublesome.

So this Full Moon Banquet — if others hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have even thought of it.

Wang Erhai came to discuss with Zhang Yueran whether to hold one.

Zhang Yueran said she definitely didn't want to hold one, but if Wang Erhai wanted to, that was fine too — she would respect Wang Erhai's decision.

Wang Erhai actually didn't want to hold one either, but with so many company executives asking, he found it a bit hard to get past the face issue.

So there was some hesitation.

At this moment Zhang Dehou said:

"What's there to hesitate about? Just hold it! Erhai has so many friends — the red envelopes at this Full Moon Banquet will come in until your hands go soft! The main thing is, Erhai has to give those people at his company some face. If no banquet is held, who knows, someone might gossip behind his back saying Erhai secretly held a banquet and didn't invite them!"

Zhang Yueran heard this and also felt it made sense, so she said:

"Then let's hold it. We'll pick a good day."

Ji Xiaolan then said to Zhang Yueran:

"Daughter, once the day is chosen, the rest of the matters — leave them to me and your dad. Anyway we two have nothing to do, guarantee we'll handle the hotel, invitations, dishes and all that perfectly!"

Over here Wang Dashan was filming videos with Du Xiaojuan at the Shanggou Village hometown. Upon learning Wang Erhai was going to hold a Full Moon Banquet for his daughter, Wang Dashan felt a bit depressed:

"Back when our son was born, how come we didn't hold a Full Moon Banquet?"

Du Xiaojuan said:

"Wasn't I doing confinement at the postpartum center? Found it troublesome, so didn't hold one."

Wang Dashan said:

"Second Brother said many of his company colleagues might attend the Full Moon Banquet. Back then we should've held one — your Xiao Du Technology colleagues would definitely have come to the banquet too!"

Du Xiaojuan was speechless:

"How many years has it been? You still drag it out to compare with your Second Brother — is this all the promise you've got?"

Wang Dashan laughed at this:

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Du Xiaojuan looked completely speechless.

Wang Dashan leaned to her ear and said:

"Wife, how about we have another one? Best to have a daughter — make up a 'good' character!"

Du Xiaojuan immediately gasped:

"One child was suffering enough, and you actually still want me to have another?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"Before you were busy with work, I couldn't bear for you to have a child, but you chose to have one. Now aren't you without a job? We're doing short videos now — very free. Take advantage of having time now to have another one. Otherwise later if you start a business again, you might want to but have no time."

Du Xiaojuan seriously thought for a moment, and had to admit that Wang Dashan, who never used to think before speaking, this time his words actually had a few points of reason.

But she also had concerns:

"I also want a daughter. If it's another son, what do we do?"

If it's another son, Du Xiaojuan figures her head would swell.

One son is hard enough to raise — two sons, how would that be manageable?

"Shouldn't happen. By reason, after having a son, the probability of having a daughter is higher." Wang Dashan said this.

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"Bullshit! If that were true, your mom wouldn't have given birth to you three brothers! Forget it, I don't want a second son — once born, can't be stuffed back in!"

Hearing Du Xiaojuan's words, Wang Dashan felt a bit depressed:

"Oh, alright!"

Du Xiaojuan spoke up at this moment:

"I've pretty much figured out the filming techniques for short videos and the monetization logic after gaining followers. How about we go on a self-driving tour next week? Once we're back from the trip, we'll start recruiting and launch the business!"

Du Xiaojuan didn't want to stay in Shanggou Village too long; she was genuinely afraid that staying too long would result in an accidental second pregnancy.

Living in Shanggou Village these days, to tell the truth, had let her enjoy a sense of ease she hadn't experienced in many years.

It was truly comfortable and carefree!

Every day she just casually filmed some videos, took the kid wandering around, experienced the rural mountain and water scenery; meals had Li Xiulan helping cook, and the kid was also put to sleep with Li Xiulan's help, so in the evenings, the frequency of marital life between her and Wang Dashan had increased several times over compared to when she was still working at Xiao Du Technology!

Moreover, Wang Dashan's physique was indeed good, able to bring Du Xiaojuan immense pleasure, to the point where she even became somewhat addicted to it.

But she also knew that this kind of thing, too much is as bad as too little; she absolutely couldn't overindulge and had to exercise restraint, otherwise it would be easy to cause trouble!

Perhaps going out on a self-driving tour and getting busy would mean she wouldn't have such great needs, and Wang Dashan wouldn't have so much craving either, so she wanted to hurry and leave this comfort zone.

Wang Dashan, however, wasn't too willing; he looked surprised:

"Ah? Leaving this soon?"

Du Xiaojuan glared at him:

"Going on a trip isn't going to work; what do you have to be unwilling about?"

Wang Dashan hemmed and hawed:

"Just afraid it won't be too convenient out there..."

"What's inconvenient about it?" Du Xiaojuan found it baffling.

Wang Dashan then said:

"There are too many hidden cameras in hotels outside, and in the car it's easy to be seen by others."

Du Xiaojuan was amused into laughter, pressing down on Wang Dashan's head:

"Day in, day out, your mind's full of nothing but those thoughts!"

Wang Dashan then said:

"Isn't it because you're both pretty and have a great figure? If I didn't want that, would I still be a man?"

Du Xiaojuan actually loved hearing these words; she couldn't help but laugh:

"Wang Dashan, you've finally said something nice, finally not so foul-mouthed anymore!"

Wang Dashan seized the chance to persuade her:

"Wife, let's not leave yet, stay a while longer!"

Du Xiaojuan, however, refused ruthlessly:

"No way. We agreed on leaving next week, so we must leave next week. If you won't go, I'll go by myself!"
