"How would I know that person was you back then!" She was not yet three years old at the time and being able to vaguely remember her visit to Huaxia Country was already impressive.

"You seem to think of me as an Adventure Island game, passing a level to solve a puzzle. Another level, another puzzle."

Yu Zexiao ignited the flames of dissatisfaction on her: "You have to compensate me!"

"Compensate you?" Jian Anning was stunned, not expecting Yu Zexiao to shamelessly demand compensation.

"Who knows if you’re hiding anything else from me?" Yu Zexiao laid her on the bed sheets, then unceremoniously pressed down: "So—to heal my tender heart, I’ve decided you’ll have to give me more children!"

"Hmm? Hmm..." Before she could react, Yu Zexiao had already pressed her into his embrace, both passionate and tender.

Well, it’s their engagement night today. Although it’s not a wedding, it’s better than nothing, right?

Ever since the decision not to use contraception, Yu Zexiao had been "doing his best" every night.

However, a month later, when Jian Anning’s "little days" arrived, Yu Zexiao realized he had wasted a month’s effort. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He didn’t really mind this; his greatest joy was one thing—instead of using a little umbrella, he could be close to her!

Moreover, under the pretense of "working hard to make a baby," he clung to Jian Anning day and night, being intimate with her. With this Imperial Sword, Jian Anning, who wasn’t originally enthusiastic about such things, was also diligently cooperating with him every day.

For the sake of "making a baby," Yu Zexiao even turned down quite a bit of work. Some less important gigs, he was too lazy to attend. Jian Anning also let go of many tasks, focusing fully on getting pregnant.

Whether successful or not, the attitude was commendable. At least, every time Xia Ziyu saw this prospective granddaughter-in-law, she wore a smile.

Especially since she consciously advised her: "Anning, look at you, so thin. How will you successfully have a baby? Listen to grandma’s advice, eat well, rest well, don’t diet for the sake of beauty, or else..."

Jian Anning, although not an entertainer, is still in the entertainment circle—now she is Yu Zexiao’s full-time manager, handling his daily affairs, and has become a budding "composer."

—Since four years ago, when John Gruber took her back under his wing, Jian Anning debuted as a "new music critic" and "new composer." However, all her compositions were made for Yu Zexiao. Moreover, most were collaborations between the two. Yu Zexiao, anyway, was happy to promote his wife’s name, naturally filling in Jian Anning’s name in the composer column with joy.

Even though she’s not as thin as those entertainers, she still had to be thinner than the average person to appear on camera.

She obediently followed the elders’ advice and even cleared her schedule to focus on preparing for pregnancy.

Regardless of success or failure, Jian Anning’s attitude was commendable, and Xia Ziyu was equally welcoming. Even if the first month wasn’t successful, the family didn’t pressure her at all.

Amidst the family’s anxious anticipation, in the second month, Jian Anning’s physiological cycle arrived again right on time.
