In the same month of June, Cen Ning successfully launched a film festival as the main organizer. The two-week-long event attracted excellent photographers and enthusiasts from around the world, becoming the hottest topic in the photography industry for a while.
After the film festival concluded, Cen Ning finally had some free time to focus on her upcoming wedding party with Yan Xingzhi.
The wedding party took place in mid-September. Due to Yan Xingzhi’s identity, the wedding party was elegantly understated, without being overly extravagant. After the wedding party, Yan Xingzhi had to travel abroad for work, and Cen Ning accompanied him to Europe. Although they couldn’t spend their entire days together during that time, it could still be considered a period of an overseas honeymoon.
Two months later, Yan Xingzhi returned to China, and Cen Ning also took a different flight back from France.
“Let’s go to the mall today and buy some gifts for the kids.” On the second day after returning home, Cen Ning picked up her phone and started browsing web pages about “what to give newborn babies.”
Yesterday, they arrived home very late, and they hadn’t even unpacked my luggage. Yan Xingzhi helped take things out of her suitcase while asking, “What are you buying?”
“We’re going to go to the Yan house later. Yi Xi’s child was born not long ago. We definitely need to bring something,” she replied.
Yi Xi was the wife of Xu Nanru, Yan Xingzhi’s younger brother. During the first month of Cen Ning and Yan Xingzhi being abroad, Yi Xi gave birth to twin boys. Cen Ning hadn’t seen them initially due to being abroad, so as soon as she returned, she was eager to go see them.

“But I’ve never bought anything before. Anyway, I’ll just pick some interesting things to give them,” Cen Ning said, linking her arm with Yan Xingzhi’s. “How about you? Do you want to come with me?”
Yan Xingzhi gave her a sidelong glance and smiled faintly. “Since you’ve put it that way, how can I not go?”
After spending over an hour shopping with Yan Xingzhi, Cen Ning happily returned to the Yan house with a bunch of items. When they arrived home, Cen Ning immediately rushed to the room where Yi Xi was.
The room door was ajar, and Cen Ning saw Yi Xi throwing a small tantrum.
“I don’t want to eat this. It’s so fattening, you know? Look at how fat I’ve become!” she exclaimed.
The person being scolded was surprisingly gentle in response. “Where have you gained weight? Besides, this won’t make you gain weight. It’s meant to nourish you.”
“Xu Nanru! Don’t you dare tell lies with your eyes wide open!” Yi Xi pouted, on the verge of tears. “I’m clearly about to become so fat. Look at all this flesh.”
Xu Nanru: “Xixi—”
One was arguing, and one was comforting. The current Xu Nanru was quite different from the Xu Nanru that Cen Ning remembered years ago. Indeed, when a person encounters their loved ones, they will willingly accept whatever changes come their way.
Cen Ning stood at the doorway, feeling a bit embarrassed to enter.
“Ahem.”
Just then, a cough sounded from behind, and this noise caught the attention of the two people inside the room. Cen Ning turned around and saw Yan Xingzhi standing behind her, quite rudely interrupting the scene inside.
“Cen Ning?!” Upon seeing her, Yi Xi’s expression instantly changed. Her face lit up, and she exclaimed, “You’re back?”
Yi Xi and Cen Ning had contrasting personalities; one carefree and spontaneous, the other cautious and gentle. Yet, despite their differences, they became great friends immediately after their first meeting.
Cen Ning walked in, saying, “Yeah, I got home late last night. How… are you?”
“Good? Sacrificing a lot for those two little rascals, I can tell you that,” Yi Xi responded.
Though Yi Xi spoke like this, her eyes held a genuine hint of amusement, and Cen Ning was genuinely happy for her. “Let me see the kids.”
“Over there. Go take a look.”
“Mhm.” Cen Ning walked over to the side of a small crib and peeked in to see two little ones, one in pink and the other in blue. The newborns were incredibly tiny, their faces, hands, and feet were as miniature as can be.
“They’re so cute,” Cen Ning was momentarily awestruck. “They really look identical.”
Yan Xingzhi walked over to her side, saying, “They’re twins, of course, they look identical.”
“They’re really adorable,” Cen Ning tugged at Yan Xingzhi’s sleeve, her excitement overflowing. “Look, he’s… oh, he’s smiling at me.”
Yan Xingzhi reached out and gently touched the little one’s face. “Yeah, I see.”
Yi Xi got off the bed and joined Cen Ning, saying, “You can hold them.”
Cen Ning hesitated for a moment. “Maybe not. They’re so small, what if I accidentally hurt them?”
“It’s not as dramatic as you’re making it out to be,” Yi Xi bent down, picked one of them up, and handed him over to Cen Ning. “This is the younger brother, Yi Chi. Here, hold him.”
Little Yi Chi gurgled and cooed, his eyes twinkling, captivating anyone who looked at him. Cen Ning glanced nervously at Yi Xi, then summoning her courage, she reached out and took him into her arms.
He was truly lightweight, but holding him made her feel so cautious as if he was delicate and might break with the slightest touch.
Cen Ning stared at him intently, her expression wary, until little Yi Chi who was in her arms grinned at her again.
“He smiled at me again!” she exclaimed.
Yi Xi leaned against the side of the crib, saying, “Really? It seems like he really likes you.”
Cen Ning was all smiles as she playfully interacted with little Yi Chi.
Yi Xi stretched lazily, “Ningning, it seems you really like kids.”
Cen Ning replied, “He’s just so adorable.”
“At night, they can be quite noisy, crying together like a symphony,” Yi Xi patted Cen Ning’s shoulder, casually saying, “Since you like them so much, I’ll give you one to raise.”
Cen Ning exclaimed, “Huh?”
Yan Xingzhi, standing beside them, raised an eyebrow. “Saying you’re going give one like that, let’s see if someone agrees first.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Xi shifted her gaze and saw Xu Nanru next to her, looking speechless. She smirked and whispered in a low voice near Xu Nanru’s ear, “Well, since they’ll both be raised in the Yan house, we can just put one in their room at night to make noise.”
Xu Nanru gave her a sidelong glance, saying, “Should I praise your cleverness?”
Yi Xi immediately replied, “If Professor Xu finds it amusing, you can also give me a compliment.”
“…”
Cen Ning laughed, “You dare to give me one I wouldn’t dare to raise.”
Yi Xi teased, “Dare not raise one, huh… Well, it’s true, taking care of someone else’s child might make you anxious. So, if you like them, just have your own. Are you planning to have a baby soon?”
Cen Ning was making faces at little Yi Chi when she heard this, and her expression paused for a moment. Her face turned a bit red as she stammered, “N-no, we haven’t really planned…”
Yi Xi enjoyed seeing Cen Ning blush, and she couldn’t resist teasing her further. “Not planning can be good too. Going with the flow isn’t bad, right, Xu Nanru?”
Xu Nanru clearly didn’t want to get involved in this conversation, so he bent down to pick up the other baby.
Yi Xi continued nonchalantly, “I’ve also heard that children born during honeymoon trips tend to be clever. Oh, by the way—” She suddenly leaned in close to Cen Ning’s ear and whispered something.
Yan Xingzhi, who had been watching the children, casually glanced up and saw Cen Ning’s ears turn red, spreading to her cheeks. Given the situation, he didn’t need to think twice to know that Yi Xi was murmuring some strange and curious things into her ear again.
Cen Ning had a rather gentle personality, and when she encountered someone like Yi Xi, she was definitely going to be “bullied.”
Yan Xingzhi stepped forward, pulling Cen Ning to his side with a smile, “It’s getting late. After looking at the kids, let’s go and see Grandpa.”
Cen Ning looked utterly relieved. “Sure!”
Quickly placing little Yi Chi back in the crib, she said to Yi Xi, “Well, I’ll head out now. Oh, and the gifts we bought are downstairs. I’ll have someone bring them up later.”
“Alright, thanks, little Ningning.”
“No problem.”
Yan Xingzhi and Cen Ning left together. Yi Xi sat contentedly next to Xu Nanru.
Xu Nanru asked, “What did you say to Cen Ning?”
Yi Xi innocently replied, “I didn’t say anything.”
A hint of amusement danced in Xu Nanru’s eyes. “Stop talking nonsense and corrupting others.”
“How could I corrupt Ningning? Hey, Xu Nanru, is that how you see me?!”
Xu Nanru pinched the cheek of the baby in his arms. “Well, how else would it be?”
Yi Xi huffed, “Is anyone like you, scolding the students you taught? Anyway, no matter what I do, it’s all your fault as the teacher.”
Xu Nanru paused, then turned to look at her. “I only taught you a few classes in college, and you’re blaming me for all this, hmm?”
Yi Xi pouted and snuggled into his embrace, “I don’t care! Everything is your fault!”
After visiting Grandpa, Cen Ning and Yan Xingzhi also returned to their room to rest.
When Yan Xingzhi returned from his shower, he found Cen Ning lying on the bed, engrossed in her phone. He lifted the corner of the blanket, slipped in, and pulled her into his embrace. “What were you talking about with Yi Xi?”
Cen Ning flipped her phone face down and shrugged. “Nothing much…”
“You’re that close and still texting each other.”
Cen Ning replied, “She sent me a message out of the blue, just a casual chat.”
Yan Xingzhi nuzzled against her cheek, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered. She had just finished showering as well, and the scent of her body mixed with the shower gel was captivating. Yan Xingzhi found himself entranced by the fragrance.
He planted a soft kiss on her ear and casually asked, “What did she say to you when you were in her room earlier?”
Slight NSFW Scene Ahead! Don’t read ahead if you’re not comfortable!
Cen Ning blushed again, but since it was just the two of them at the moment, she decided to speak up. “She asked if we were spontaneous during our honeymoon or if we used… protection.”
Yan Xingzhi hesitated for a moment. “Hmm, what did you say?”
“Me? I’m not telling her,” Cen Ning replied.
Yan Xingzhi’s hand started to slip under her clothes, and he suddenly asked, “So, do you think it’s better to use protection or not?”
His palm pressed against the softness of her chest, their breathing growing deeper.
Cen Ning let out a soft whimper, whispering, “We’ve always been using it, haven’t we?”
Yan Xingzhi flipped over, pinning her beneath him, and nuzzled into her neck, giving a gentle nip, “If you want a child, we don’t have to use it…”
As their clothes gradually came off, within the warmth of the cocoon-like blankets, their skin met in tender caresses, the scene exuding an enchanting allure.
“Do you want a child, Ningning?”
“What about you?”
“I’m open to either.”
“I suddenly realized how cute children are,” Cen Ning’s breath became slightly uneven. “I… I think I might want one.”
Yan Xingzhi chuckled softly. “Shall we start preparing, then?”
“Huh? Sure…”
They merged without barriers, no reservations, tightly entwined together.
Under the moonlit night, they shared a passionate and intimate connection.
Their night seemed to stretch on endlessly.
Kyaaa!! Babies!! 🤗
