He Zhilan circled He Teng’s waist with both hands as if she didn’t hear him say he was going to get dressed, muttering, "Only about fifteen minutes, huh?"

"Yep." He Teng’s answer was unequivocally affirmative, but he also knew that ever since He Zhilan had her miscarriage, she’d become increasingly clingy to him. So, for the past few months, even if he had late meetings in the city, he always made sure to drive back to sleep with He Zhilan at night.

"You lie down first, I’ll go get dressed." Seeing that He Zhilan really didn’t have anything else, He Teng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just that he wasn’t wearing anything, and with He Zhilan clinging and hugging him like this, he felt a bit awkward.

"Why get dressed? You’ll just have to take them off later anyway." He Zhilan glanced at He Teng and muttered, refusing to let go and kept wriggling in his arms like a caterpillar. Eventually, she ended up sitting on his lap, with her legs hooked around his waist and her arms around his neck.

He Teng was in the prime of his youth, so with his little wife acting like this, was it possible for him not to get aroused?

Besides, he was already feeling the desire, and now it was even less likely to subside.

Seeing He Zhilan like this, He Teng couldn’t hold back anymore, and took care of the little woman in his arms. By the time He Zhilan was exhausted and had fallen asleep, she finally calmed down.

The next day, He Zhilan returned to work at the translation agency.

Back at the translation agency, He Zhilan heard about Chen Cui’s pregnancy. Just as she walked in, Wang Juan was teasing Chen Cui about being a clam producing pearls.

"What clam producing pearls? That sounds so unpleasant. Although my son is several years old, I’m not even in my thirties yet, how can I be called that? Get lost, all of you who aren’t married and haven’t been mothers, what do you know? Children are a symbol of a couple’s affection."

Chen Cui saw He Zhilan enter and waved her over, pulling her into the conversation, "Within our circle, only He Zhilan and I can truly empathize! Zhilan, you’ve come at the right time, come on, let’s go shopping!"

"Is it okay to not work?" He Zhilan laughed, "You’re pregnant again? Congratulations."

Her tone was nothing but envious.

"Yes, my husband said if we have a daughter this time, we’ll have both a son and a daughter!" Chen Cui patted He Zhilan’s shoulder, "You should try too, have a daughter, and you’ll have both as well! Strive to give your husband two kids in three years, that’s what I call a good relationship!"

Chen Cui sorted out her things as she spoke, "The work for the first few days is almost finished, and the rest isn’t urgent, so let’s go shopping. Juan, you don’t mind, right?"

"No, go ahead, just remember to bring lunch back for us. After eating, we’ll take a nap in the office, too lazy to go out for food." Wang Juan waved her hand as she made this request.

Li Qian and Zhang Zhongzheng nodded in agreement. Wang Juan was lazy, and the two men were even lazier, too lazy to even go out to buy food.

"Then we’re off." Chen Cui, seeing Wang Juan had no objections, immediately pulled He Zhilan out the door.

Though it wasn’t the weekend, the biggest shopping mall in the city was still bustling. Chen Cui, far from seeming like a seasoned mother, dragged He Zhilan straight into a maternity store, one minute looking at baby formula, the next at children’s clothes.
