"Brother, you’ve told me six times already."

"I just didn’t want you to forget."

"I have a really good memory."

"Alright, alright, it’s my fault."

Zero stood there, watching Big Bro holding Candy’s hand as they chatted and sang on their way to the cafeteria, a look of envy on Zero’s face.

"Next upgrade, I must consider enjoying gourmet food."

"Hmph, I’m not envious or anything."

Only when their figures disappeared did Zero turn around and head towards the office building.

From start to finish, Zero believed that as long as they followed Big Bro, one day all dreams would come true.

The background behind Big Bro was really too powerful.

...

Inside the private room, Candy sat next to her brother, happily sipping delicious chicken soup.

Every now and then, her gaze would drift to Li Wanning sitting diagonally opposite.

Her belly was becoming more and more obvious. Would it be a little sister or a little brother? Candy was very curious.

Mo Jingchun also noticed that even with the down jacket, Li Wanning’s belly was quite visible. Thinking for a moment, Mo Jingchun spoke up:

"Li Wanning, from now on just work six hours a day. Make sure to rest more."

Li Wanning paused slightly, nodded, and didn’t refuse.

"Thank you, boss, for your concern."

The next day, the Candy Technology annual meeting.

As in previous years, Mo Jingchun just went on stage and said a few simple words. Probably influenced by Mo Jingchun, the other leaders who spoke also kept their speeches very brief.

This change was warmly welcomed by the employees.

After all, compared to the programs and prize draws, the leaders’ speeches were really a bit dull and boring.

The biggest change this year was that Candy didn’t perform on stage.

Firstly, there was no time, and secondly, it didn’t really matter.

Being on stage performing wasn’t as enjoyable as sitting below and having good food and drinks.

Taking a sip from the thermos, Candy tightened the lid again.

"Ahh~"

Licking her lips, the flavor of the tea brewed by her sister-in-law was truly unforgettable.

Having a sister-in-law who can brew milk tea means happiness every day, achieving milk tea freedom from then on.

Of course, the prerequisite is to get past her brother.

"Drink a little less, too much milk tea can make you gain weight."

The thumping of the speakers was too loud for Candy to hear what her brother said.

Candy leaned closer to her brother’s ear and asked loudly, "Brother, what did you just say? The music is too loud, I didn’t hear."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun pointed to the thermos in Candy’s hand and said, "I said, drink less milk tea, drinking too much can make you gain weight."

"No way! You and Sister have drunk so much milk tea, and you haven’t gained weight."

"Hmph, always trying to trick the little kids, I’ve grown up and you still want to fool me."

"Isn’t that right, Zero."

Zero lifted her head and glanced at Candy, who was full of anticipation, and said flatly, "It varies from person to person. You will only know if you gain weight after drinking too much. But my suggestion is not to drink too much."

Upon hearing this, Candy nervously opened the thermos and took another sip.

As Candy winked at her, Zero simply turned away, not looking at Candy.

Typical childhood defiance, keeping silent was the solution.

Sure enough, when Candy saw Zero’s silence, she smugly raised her eyebrows, her face full of smiles.

Seeing this, Mo Jingchun leaned close to Li Xuanyu’s ear and whispered, "Don’t brew too much milk tea for Candy in the future, once she gets chubby she won’t be cute anymore."

Thinking of a chubby Candy, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but shiver.

Li Xuanyu said with a chuckle, "There’s really not that much, I just brewed twice."

By the time dinner rolled around at the hotel, Candy was rubbing her stomach in some regret.

Having drunk too much milk tea, she wasn’t hungry at all now.

"What would you like to eat?" Li Xuanyu asked Candy with a smile.

After some deliberation, Candy chose a bit of beef.

Two hundred kilometers away in Yunxi City, Li Xuanyu’s home was brightly lit, as both her parents meticulously checked every corner.

The self-built three-story villa had been meticulously cleaned by the couple over two days, making it spotless.

Upon learning their daughter would be bringing her boyfriend home for the first time, the couple had quickly agreed to refurbish the entire villa inside and out.

After a long while, the exhausted couple sat on the sofa, massaging their backs.

"Honey, the boy is bringing two younger sisters over tomorrow. We need to give the younger ones a red envelope, but what about the older one? Xuanyu said the older one is already in her twenties and she’s a cousin."

At the next moment, Li Shimin rolled her eyes at her husband and said, annoyed,

"They’re both sisters, of course we should give them one too. It doesn’t have to be as big as Candy’s envelope, I think 500 should be enough."

"Mo Jingchun knows ours is just an ordinary family."

At this, Li Shimin said worriedly, "Dear, that’s my biggest fear. Our family is too ordinary. In the future, if our daughter gets bullied, her family might not be able to help."

Li Zhenxing stopped and, frowning, said, "See? They’re not even married yet and you’re already worrying she will be bullied. Are you already considering what to do about a divorce?"

"Not to mention, Mo Jingchun looks like a good kid at first glance."

"You can tell from how he took his sister to college. Don’t worry, your daughter will have a blessed future."

Twisting his sore neck, Li Zhenxing chuckled, "Let’s rest early, they’ll be here tomorrow."

Just then, their daughter called.

Seeing it was his daughter, Li Zhenxing answered the call immediately.

"Hello, Xuanyu? It’s so late, what’s up?"

Closing the dormitory door, Li Xuanyu began,

"Dad, I overlooked something. I suddenly remembered when I got back from the annual meeting."

Li Zhenxing was a bit nervous. At this late hour, was there really something not arranged yet for tomorrow? Could it be sorted before the son-in-law arrived?

"Daughter, tell me."

Li Shimin leaned in, her face also showing some anxiety.

"Here’s the thing, Dad, you know our company’s AI, Zero? She’ll be coming along tomorrow as well."

As soon as Li Xuanyu said this, understanding dawned on Li Zhenxing, "You mean we also need to give the AI a red envelope?"

"Yes! And it should be exactly the same as Candy’s. I’ll transfer the money to you in a bit."

"Also, Dad, when she comes tomorrow, just call her Zero, and don’t mention anything about AI. She’s just like a person, with her own thoughts. They even got her an ID card up there."

"Alright, alright, I’m glad you told us, otherwise your mom and I would’ve surely overlooked it. Keep your money, your mom and I have earned a little the past few years."

"It’s just unfortunate you didn’t have much prepared in dowry."

Li Xuanyu’s nose tingled, "Dad, I know all about my condition. Let’s not bring up the past."

"Alright, alright."

Amid the hustle and bustle of the expressway, sitting in the back seat, Zero gazed out the window with a slight smile on her lips.

The feeling of being valued was truly wonderful.

At that moment, Zero truly accepted this future lady of the house.
