"Thatās good then!" Yang Chuxia nodded, "Mom hasnāt been feeling well these past two days; I didnāt have her come over today. Iāll tell her the news when I get back to cheer her up."
"Whatās wrong with Mom? Is the illness serious?"
"She caught a cold, and the doctor prescribed some medicine," Yang Chuxia said. "Donāt worry, Iām taking care of Mom."
"Then donāt tell her about this for now. Wait until weāre gone, so she doesnāt worry."
"Alright, Iāll listen to you." Yang Chuxia took her hand again and said, "So many years have passed; the little girl from back then is now a mom herself. Time really flies. When you go to the south, there are no relatives there; you and Linhao must take good care of yourselves. Linhao is a great person, but sometimes heās not very attentive. You need to be mindful of the things he might overlook. Also, now that youāre pregnant, there are some things you canāt eat, like hawthorn, crab, rabbit meat, almonds... Never mind, you probably wonāt remember everything I say, so Iāll make a list for you later."
"I get it, sis." Yang Xiayun suddenly laughed, "Youāre more worried than Mom."
Yang Xiayun recalled that when she got married, her mom didnāt tell her as much, but it was her sister who gave her so much advice.
"Iām just looking out for you!" Yang Chuxia glared at her with feigned annoyance.
Yang Xiayun hugged her arm, "Sis, thereās another favor I have to ask of you."
"What is it?"
"Itās about my father-in-law," Yang Xiayun said. "Dad is alone in the Capital City without someone to care for him. Linhao and I are a bit worried, so I need to ask you to keep an eye on him."
Yang Chuxia patted her hand, "You donāt even have to ask. My husband and I will take care of him, so you and Linhao can rest assured."
"Mm, having you around is wonderful, sis!"
Yang Xiayun hugged her, her eyes tearing up as she started to cry softly.
"Oh dear, already a mom and still crying like a baby, arenāt you embarrassed?" Yang Chuxia laughed and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Auntie, shame on you," Yueyue had come in unnoticed.
Qingqing followed her, clapping her hands, "Auntie, shame on you."
Outside, Yangyang was tugging at Luo Linhao, "Cousin, when your kid comes out, send him back to the Capital City."
"Why should I send him to the Capital City?"
Yangyang said, "So he can play with us! If he stays in the south too long, we cousins might become distant."
"Pfft..." Luo Linhao chuckled, "Youāve thought quite far ahead."
"My dad said that in life, you should always think three steps ahead," Yangyang boasted, patting his chest.
"Your dad is really clever."
Luo Linhao laughed and ruffled his hair, "When your brother or sister is old enough for school, Iāll send them to the Capital. You have to help look out for them; donāt let anyone bully them."
"Leave it to me," Yangyang lifted his head and said, "Who dares to bully Ye Batianās brother?"
"..." Luo Linhao was speechless. Ye Batian, what kind of name is that?
Yang Chuxia and Yang Xiayun came out just in time to hear this. "When did you change your name? Why doesnāt Mom know about it?"
"I think Ye Batian sounds more impressive!" Yangyang lifted his head, "Donāt you think this name suits me better? Since the name given by the emperor canāt be changed, this is the name I chose for myself. Isnāt it awesome?"
"Haha!" Yang Xiayun couldnāt hold it in anymore, "Does he even know what it means?"
