Xie Qizhi glanced at Xi Yan, then at Bai Le, and then smiled knowingly. "It's alright, you can do as you please." After saying that, she turned and left.
Bai Le watched her departing figure with some emotion. She almost ended up with Xi Yan back then, but now they both have children.
After the person left, Xi Yan's brows finally relaxed. He carefully observed Bai Le's complexion and asked in a deep voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, it's perfectly lively."
Xi Yan patted his head. "Tell me if you feel unwell. Don't drink cold or spicy drinks. I know you love them, but you can't."
Bai Le pouted, knowing that he was about to face another period of being unable to do this or that.
"You should stay home and try not to go to the company. If you absolutely must go, wait until you return in three months."
After speaking, Xi Yan paused again, looked at Bai Le's absent-minded and perfunctory appearance, frowned slightly, and reached out to pinch Bai Le's cheek.
Did you hear that?
With his cheeks pinched, Bai Le could only mumble, "I understand."
On the other side, Mu Mu was playing with building blocks with Lin Xu. Mu Mu was impatient and would play with one thing for a while and then another, abandoning the building blocks he was playing with halfway through.
Lin Xu followed behind him, cleaning up the mess and completing the castle he had only half-built, then showing it to Mu Mu.
"Brother." Mu Mu clapped her hands, revealing her small breasts; her soft, chubby face looked adorable.

Chapter 49
Lin Xu helped him build the blocks again, Mu Mu clapped his hands and watched with a smile, then mischievously reached out and pushed the blocks over.
"We can't do that," Lin Xu said softly as he reassembled the blocks.
Mu Mu grinned, seemingly amused by his reaction, and then reached out and pushed over the blocks she had painstakingly built.
Lin Xu frowned slightly, but still helped him put the blocks back together.
Mu Mu pushed it down, and Lin Xu built it again. The two seemed to have a strange tacit understanding. Mu Mu just treated it as an interesting new game, while Lin Xu patiently built the blocks. Even after he finished building it, he would look at Mu Mu and wait for his next move.
When Bai Le walked over and saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He gently tapped Mu Mu's forehead with his slightly bent fingers.
Why do you always push over the toys your brother built?
Perhaps sensing his stern tone, Mu Mu pouted, looking at him with teary eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't cry out.
Bai Le's heart softened at the sight, and he was about to speak when Lin Xu suddenly grabbed Mu Mu's hand and said cautiously, "Big brother, we're just playing, can you please not scold Mu Mu?"
Bai Le was taken aback; he hadn't expected Bai Le to defend Mu Mu.
Xi Yan put his arm around Bai Le's shoulder from behind and said calmly, "Let the children handle their own affairs."
Looking at the pitiful Mu Mu, Bai Le also began to reflect on his tone earlier, which hadn't been very good.
Mu Mu seemed to know that Lin Xu was protecting her. She ran to his side with her short legs, grabbed his sleeve, and didn't say a word.
Bai Le found it amusing, but he also decided to listen to Xi Yan said. He told the children to let themselves be, and he saw that they were having a lot of fun. Mu Mu would feel lonely if she was all alone, so it would be good for her to have someone to play with.
Seeing that Lin Xu enjoyed playing with Mu Mu, Xie Qizhi smiled more often, so she would occasionally send him to the Xi Family to play. Bai Le, of course, welcomed this, as he was quite bored staying at home alone during his pregnancy.
When Ms. Wu Xueying, who was on the other side of the ocean, heard that he was pregnant again, she was overjoyed and made a long-distance phone call with him for several hours, repeatedly reminding him of precautions and sending him a lot of foreign pregnancy supplies.
Thursday was a perfect day, a rare sunny day. Bai Le changed into a simple T-shirt and trousers, planning to take Mu Mu and Xiaoxu out to play.
There were many people picnicking on the lawn in the park. Bai Le also spread out a checkered cloth and sat down on it. His basket was full of cakes, fruits, and even freshly squeezed juice prepared by Auntie Wu.
He lay lazily on the lawn, glancing to the side where Xiaoxu was flying a kite with Mu Mu. Mu Mu was chasing after him with her short legs, giggling incessantly, looking very happy.
Bai Le looked away and checked his phone. The latest message was the one he had sent to Xi Yan.
He sent Xi Yan a message saying he was going to take Mu Mu and the others out to play, taking advantage of the nice weather outside.
Xi Yan asked for the address, and Bai Le answered him accordingly. Then he sent a message saying "Wait for me," and then there was no further news.
Bai Le scratched his head, unable to believe that he would come now.
Out of boredom, he scrolled through his previous chat history with Xi Yan and discovered some interesting things.
Xi Yan's answers are usually very simple. No matter how much Bai Le talks on his end, he basically replies with simple words, but the time interval is very short, almost all of them are instant replies.
Bai Le couldn't help but picture Xi Yan holding her phone, never letting it out of her sight, constantly checking for his messages.
He was lost in thought with his hands behind his head when he suddenly felt a large shadow fall over him. Bai Le slowly opened his eyes and saw Xi Yan's cold and handsome face.
