Chapter 899: Chapter 899: Are You Really Planning to Be a Stay-at-Home Dad?
Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh, “Not yet, so you haven’t missed the first fetal movement.”
He Jingyao’s Adam’s apple bobbed once, and he gave a low “hmm,” then suddenly leaned down, pressing his ear to her belly with an expression of reverence.
Zhixi couldn’t help but smile.
After a while, he kissed her belly and then helped her cover up with a coat.
He Jingyao gently picked her up and kissed her lips once more.
When they parted, both were a bit moved.
The man chuckled hoarsely and took another gentle sip from her lips, “Zhixi, thank you.”
All the surprises in his life were brought to him by her.
Zhixi leaned on his shoulder and softly said “hmm.”
“Since I’m back, it’s not convenient to continue living at the old house.” He Jingyao thought for a moment, “Where would you like to live?”
Zhixi thought for a moment and smiled, “Anywhere is fine?”
“Then… I want to go back to the apartment…” Zhixi said softly.
“That place is too small.” The man seemed dissatisfied.
“It’s not small at all, I think it’s just right.” She shook his hand, “After all, it’s just the three of us plus Uncle Li, a total of four people. It’s more lively there.”
She liked that park and loved having He Jingyao accompany her on walks.
The man pondered for a moment and chuckled softly, “Alright, you’re the pregnant one, so you have the final say.”

At dinner, the old house was more crowded than ever.
Liu Minjun was somewhat excited. For so many years, it was mostly just her and Ziyi in the old house, maybe occasionally He Yirong. Now, with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all together, she felt incredibly gratified.
She looked over at Pei Yuanchen, a handsome young man who seemed well-matched with Ziyi. Perhaps he would become her son-in-law.
Oh, how wonderful, Liu Minjun thought with a smile.
He Yirong was also very excited, having Uncle Li open a bottle of red wine. Liu Minjun initially wanted to stop him, but seeing how excited he was, she silently allowed it.
Forget it, let’s let him make an exception just for today.
He Yirong personally poured a glass of wine for He Jingyao, speaking with emotion, “You kid… from now on, the company is in your hands.”
He Jingyao held the wine glass, raised an eyebrow, and said, “I’m too busy.”
“How are you too busy?” He Yirong glared at him.
“Zhixi hasn’t given birth yet.” He Jingyao considered, “It will take another four or five months for the baby to be born, and once born, I have to take care of it, at least for half a year. So, I need at least a year; you’ll have to hold on for this year.”
He Yirong’s eyes widened in shock, left speechless by indignation.
Is this kid really planning to be a stay-at-home dad?
But with his daughter-in-law sitting right there, he couldn’t say much and could only sigh, “But I’m too old to handle this much longer.”
“Mom, what do you think?” He Jingyao turned his gaze to Liu Minjun, his expression half-smiling, “Do you think I should go back to the company or stay home with Zhixi?”
“Of course, stay home with Zhixi! She’s carrying twins, so nothing can go wrong; can you really be at ease leaving her at home alone?” Liu Minjun immediately decided, turning to glare at He Yirong, “What’s wrong with you taking on the extra work for just one more year?”
He Yirong was choked by frustration.
He could only sigh and say, “Can’t you at least come back as a board member? Surely, you can spare some time to stop by the company occasionally?”
He Jingyao furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and reluctantly said, “Alright then.”
He Yirong was utterly exasperated by him.
