Fu Nanjin's lips raised slightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to prove it to me."
When the green light turned to red, Tang Zichen kissed her on the face, turned around and started driving again.
Fu Nanjin leaned back in his chair and stared at the street lights outside the car window, his eyes gradually turning cold.

That night, Yunxi did not go back to Tangsi's villa in the suburbs, but stayed at the Tang family's old house.
After sending Ye Qingwan away, she helped the old man to the backyard.
After helping the old man sit down on the spring chair and covering his legs and knees with a blanket, Yunxi suggested with a smile.
"Dad, let's play chess?"
"Okay!" Mr. Tang smiled, "Get the chess pieces from the drawer."
Yunxi took the jade chess pieces and arranged them on the chessboard.
After moving a few moves, Mr. Tang raised his eyes and said, "Xiao Xi, do you... have something to say?"
Sure enough, ginger is still very spicy!
Yunxi handed the tea bowl to the old man's hand, watched the old man take a sip of tea, then took the tea bowl back and put it on the table.
"No, I just want to accompany you. I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to come over."
In fact, she wanted to remind the old man about Tang Chuping.
But facing the old man's doting eyes, she really couldn't say anything.
Which father would want to see his children and grandchildren killing each other?
"Hey -" Mr. Tang sighed, "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know that I didn't teach these children well."
There is no better son than a father.
How could Mr. Tang not know the temperament and temperament of his sons?
Today I specifically reminded a few people of this, just to make them restrain themselves.
Mr. Tang stretched out his palm and patted the empty seat next to him.
Yunxi stood up and sat over. The old man stretched out his right hand, held her palm, and patted the back of her hand.
"Good boy, I have made you feel wronged." Mr. Tang showed a happy smile, "From now on, with you in the Tang family, my father will be able to feel at ease even if he is in trouble."
"Dad!" Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him, "Whatever you say is beyond the pale. You are still far from being a hundred years old!"
"Ha..." Mr. Tang laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I am an old man who is reluctant to die. I have to wait for you and Xiaosi to give me a grandson!"
Yunxi blushed, "Can't you do it granddaughter?"
"Don't think that I favor boys over girls!" Mr. Tang explained solemnly, "My grandson and grandson all like it. Dad is not an old man. He just said that his eldest grandson is used to it. Come on, let's continue playing chess."
The two continued to play chess, and Yunxi deliberately made two wrong moves to show off his flaws.
Mr. Tang glanced at her sideways and did not expose her, deliberately winning the game.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go and rest."
With that said, he called the housekeeper in and asked him to order the kitchen to prepare some midnight snacks for Yunxi.
The housekeeper went to order the kitchen, and Yunxi personally helped the old man into the bedroom.
After taking care of the old man to lie down and feeling his pulse, she breathed a sigh of relief and quietly exited the door.
Arriving at the villa, Mr. Tang found a room specially reserved for her.
Yunxi took out her mobile phone and was about to make a call to Tang Si when the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, holding a midnight snack prepared by the cook.
"By chance, chicken soup is simmering in the kitchen. I asked them to order a bowl of wontons for you. You can eat them while they are hot."
"Okay." Yunxi thanked her, but did not forget to remind her, "Remember to drink the herbal tea I prepared for the old man every day."
"Don't worry, it's once a day, every day. Ever since I drank your herbal tea, Mr. Tang's face has become much rosier these days. Miss, this herbal tea is really effective." The butler smiled and put the wontons on the table.
"Okay, take it easy then, I won't disturb you. When you finish eating, you can put the bowl on the table outside and the servant will come and collect it."
The butler left, Yunxi took off his coat and sat at the small table.
He bent down and took a sniff.
Home-made chicken soup has a fragrant aroma.
Just as she was about to move her chopsticks, she suddenly felt retching in her stomach. Yunxi turned around and ran to the trash can. She held the bucket and vomited for a long time, only spitting out two mouthfuls of sour water.
Raising her hand to wipe her uncomfortable chest, she took the cup and drank a cup of herbal tea to calm it down.
When he put the tea cup on the table, he suddenly froze.
All in all, it was already the end of the month, so their relatives should have arrived early.
Is it possible...
Raising her right hand, she put her fingers on her left wrist.
Under her fingertips, her pulse was like a slippery bead, obviously rising faster than she usually did.
Yunxi:......
It turned out to be really a happy pulse.
Yunxi was startled, and his face felt a little hot unconsciously.
Just now Mr. Tang was still talking about his eldest grandson who was half older than his eldest grandson, but she really didn't bother to mention it.
In mid-air, the aroma of chicken soup is still spreading.
Yunxi hurriedly covered her nose, took out the wontons, opened the window to let in some air, and pressed a few times on the anti-vomiting acupuncture points on her arms to suppress the rolling in her chest.
Her eyes fell on the mobile phone on the table. She grabbed it and pressed the shortcut key. The phone automatically dialed Tang Si's number.
In just a moment, Tang Si's voice rang in his ears.
"I just landed and I'm about to call you."
"When will you come back?"
"We will return tomorrow night and should arrive the day after tomorrow. What can I do?"
"It's no big deal, it's just..." Yun Xi bit her lower lip, "You want to become a father."
"What?"
"I said...you are going to be a father."
"Really, are you...are you sure?!"
"certainly."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Si's breathing became obviously rapid.
"You...you wait for me, I...I will fly back now."
"No, I'm not going to give birth soon. You work hard and we'll pick you up at the airport together. Just be obedient!"
"Yes, my dear wife, then you should be more careful. Why don't you stop working and go to school these days..."
"Tang Si!" Yun Xi said helplessly, "It's just a pregnancy, it's not that exaggerated."
"Then you must pay close attention to it. By the way, you need to strengthen your nutrition. Well... the medicine I took before will not affect it, right?"
As a new father, Tang Si rarely stuttered when he spoke.
Listening to his tone, Yunxi also laughed unconsciously.
"Don't worry, it won't affect you."
"That's good. I remember that I still need to take folic acid or something. Should you see a doctor?"
"Don't forget, I am a doctor." Yun Xi smiled, "Okay, you don't have to worry about me. I know how to take care of myself. I just got off the plane and had a good rest. Now, you are not only a husband, but also a doctor."
As a father, you need to take more care of yourself, you know?"
"Okay, I know, by the way, hang up the phone quickly, go to bed, and have a good rest."
"Goodnight husband."
Yunxi hung up the phone, took her clothes and walked into the shower room.
When I came out of the shower, the screen was still on.
She grabbed her phone and saw at a glance that there were more than a dozen WeChat messages displayed on it, all from Tangsi.
[Tang Si: I was so happy just now that I forgot to mention my wife’s hard work]
[Tangsi: Remember to drink more water. The weather is dry now. Ask the housekeeper to install the humidifier.]
…
【Tang Si: Wife, I love you.】
This is the first time that this man, who has always cherished his words like gold, has sent her so many messages in one go.
This is also the first time for me to be such a mother-in-law.
Feeling his mood, Yunxi curled her lips and typed a reply.
[Third brother’s sweet baby: I love you too, good night.]
Ding--
The phone vibrated again.
[Tang Si: Good night, no further replies are allowed. See you the day after tomorrow, say good night to the baby for me! 】
Putting the phone on the bedside table, Yunxi lay down on the pillow and stretched out his palm to caress his still flat belly.
Imagine that there was a little life brewing inside that belonged to her and Tang Si, and her heart softened unconsciously.
