Having things to do made Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei feel useful instead of idle and worthless.

Since handing over the shop to Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei, Xu Niannian noticed that her mother had become much smoother in handling things.

And Xu Dawei no longer felt as insecure and inferior as before.

Xu Duoyu and Xu Zhicheng, her two younger brothers, appeared even more spirited than each other.

Butter Noodle House was managed by Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei, while the Liuyue Su business was in the hands of Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Erhong.

In the capital, they had also opened three milk tea shops, with Xiaochun, Lili, and Cuicui each looking after one, and a few employees were hired to help out in each shop.

All she needed to do now was to check in occasionally.

She was a mom-to-be with nothing to do, too idle for her own good.

Every day she just strolled around the courtyard, getting some air, and basically doing nothing.

This idle lifestyle made Xu Niannian, who was used to being busy, feel guilty.

To be more accurate, she was so idle it made her anxious.

No, she had to find something to do, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to settle down.

Thinking this, Xu Niannian remembered that it had been a long time since she last entered the space.

With the recipes from the space for Liuyue Su and Butter Sauce, Xu Niannian’s business had grown bigger and bigger.

She had neglected her favorite cooking in the process.

The cookbook was so thick, and she had only made two dishes from it so far.

The recipe for the third dish had already come out, and she hadn’t even looked at it yet.

She had planned to start it quite a while ago, but then one thing after another came up, and she got busy, eventually forgetting about it.

Feeling frustrated, Xu Niannian slapped her forehead. Now was the perfect time, with fewer things to worry about, to delve into the recipes.

"Heavens, don’t tell me you’ve gone soft?"

In the leisurely courtyard, Nuo Heng’s face broke into a smile, one that didn’t reach his eyes.

To his teasing, Ye Xiangtian didn’t respond, his long fingers tapping rhythmically on the stone tabletop, resonating in a way that seemed to penetrate the soul.

It inexplicably caused anxiety.

"I haven’t gone soft," he said.

"Not gone soft?" Nuo Heng looked at him incredulously, "You’ve met her several times, clearly had the opportunity to use her to threaten Jin Yu, but you didn’t. And now, you’ve let Jin Yu take down all our strongholds for nothing. Why is that?"

"Jin Yu isn’t as simple as you think. Threatening him with her isn’t realistic," Ye Xiangtian said coldly.

Jin Yu’s loyalty to the organization made Ye Xiangtian realize that no matter who he took as a threat, Jin Yu might still remain loyal to the organization.

Jin Yu thinks he’s quite impressive, right?

Then he wouldn’t use Xu Niannian to threaten him but only to take revenge.

No one can eat his flesh and remain unscathed without shedding some blood.

Nuo Heng was indifferent to the explanation.

"This was clearly a great opportunity. I gave you untraceable drugs, just put them on Xu Niannian and she will miscarry. But now, it seems she hasn’t miscarried," said Nuo Heng with a smile.

This plan of theirs, of course, wasn’t just aimed at taking simple revenge on Jin Yu by causing his wife to lose their child.

They were in urgent need of moving a shipment from abroad.

But Jin Yu’s men were watching them too closely. Even if they couldn’t find Nuo Heng and Ye Xiangtian, they were monitoring every force in their hands.

To get the shipment over, relying on him and Ye Xiangtian alone would be impossible.

Therefore, they needed to create an accident, one that would leave Jin Yu reeling for a short while.

Among the people Jin Yu cared about, his wife was the easiest to approach.

Ye Xiangtian offered no explanation.

He had put the drug on her.

As for why she hadn’t miscarried, it was probably because the dosage wasn’t enough.

When faced with those kind, moist eyes, he felt as though he had been bewitched, and without authorization, he reduced the dosage by two-thirds.

Ye Xiangtian gave a cold laugh, tapping his fingers faster and faster on the table.

"Rest assured, I won’t let anyone affect our plans," he said.

"Don’t disappoint me," Nuo Heng said with a light smile.

Ye Xiangtian gave him a cold glance, stood up, and looked down at the smiling Nuo Heng, "You don’t have the right to say that to me, Nuo Heng. Remember your place as a subordinate, and don’t forget, your life was given by me."

With that, Ye Xiangtian turned and went back inside the house.

Nuo Heng continued to sit quietly in the courtyard, cooling off.

Is that right?

It was precisely because Ye Xiangtian saved his life that he would never allow any mishaps to befall him.

He wouldn’t let anyone who might affect Ye Xiangtian get away.

Xu Niannian then sneezed several times. Ah, who was talking about her?

The little baby suddenly kicked her in the belly.

Xu Niannian hummed and stroked her belly, "Baby, are you thinking of mommy?"

"Thump, thump," came two more kicks.

Xu Niannian interpreted it as "yes."

So she smiled even happier, patted her belly, and said, "Good baby, don’t move around. Mommy is researching recipes. When you come out, mommy will make you something delicious."

After she spoke, the baby indeed stopped kicking her.

Xu Niannian’s feeling grew stronger.

Could it be that her baby really understood what she was saying?

Or was it because she had drunk water from the space, which changed her constitution, and thereby made her baby smarter than others?
