Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 496 - 429 I Guessed You Were Crying (First Update)

Tong Airui smiled, "You mostly have a great sister-in-law to thank. The reason I was able to come out was because she came up with the idea."

"Brother, have you noticed that my sister-in-law is becoming more and more like Mom?"

Tong Airui nodded with laughter, "Mm-hmm, caring and nosy."

"Even my fifth sister-in-law takes after Mom—with her stinginess! Haha..."

"And you’re still laughing!" Tong Airui scolded, "Take care of your belly! We’ve been waiting so long for this child; you must protect it well!"

Teng Ai Ni shielded her belly with both hands, grinning at Tong Airui. "Brother, when things are normal, I don’t feel much, but when something happens, I realize how great it is to have a brother! When I was little, you all protected me, and now you’re still the same."

"In our family, we’ve only got you and Sis as the girls. If we don’t look out for you, who will?" Tong Airui gazed warmly at his younger sister. "Do you want to eat anything? I’ll go get it for you."

"Nah, I don’t want anything." Teng Ai Ni smiled brightly. "Brother, you’ve really changed over the past couple of years."

A gentle smile spread across Tong Airui’s sharp-featured face. "Changed for better or worse?"

"Still just as bad! Haha... You’re ruthless to bad people but so warm to us it’s unbearable! You’ve always been good to us, but back then, you kept it all buried inside, just like Dad—doing stuff quietly without saying anything. Now, you act and express it. Sis-in-law really trained you well."

"So, seems like your sister-in-law deserves some credit again?"

"Buzz buzz..."

Yi Luowa was someone who couldn’t go unmentioned. As soon as the siblings brought her up, her call came in.

Tong Airui frowned and pressed the answer button. "Honey, why aren’t you asleep this late?"

"I’m worried about Ai Ni, couldn’t sleep. How’s she doing?"

Tong Airui glanced at his sister with concern, then replied in a deep voice, "The baby’s fine. Ai Ni has a cut on her head, but she’s used scar cream, so it shouldn’t leave a mark. Her spirits are pretty good right now. Do you want to talk to her?"

"I’ll talk to her later. For now, I need to speak with You Jia. Pass the phone to him."

Tong Airui smirked, "You’re not sleeping in the middle of the night—is this another one of your conspiracy theories?"

"Hubby, do you think this was just a simple tire blowout?"

"You Jia’s looking into it. Once we have the results, I’ll let you know. Say a few words to Ai Ni, and then you both need to get some rest immediately." Tong Airui said as he handed the phone to Teng Ai Ni.

Teng Ai Ni pouted, "Sis-in-law, thank you!"

"What’s up with you! It’s late—are you set on keeping me awake?" Yi Luowa huffed. "Did you thank your brother too?"

Teng Ai Ni giggled, "Nope, forgot to say it."

"You didn’t forget; you just don’t want to say thank you to him. In your mind, he’s your blood brother, so everything he does for you is natural. But why thank me? I’ve pondered this deeply and come to a maddening conclusion: you, Teng Ai Ni, don’t actually see me as family!"

"Haha... I can’t laugh; my brother won’t let me laugh." Teng Ai Ni stifled her laughter and said, "Sis-in-law, you talk like a machine gun. I can’t argue with you. From now on, I won’t say thank you to you anymore. Happy now?"

"About time!" Yi Luowa sighed. "Ai Ni, you must be extra careful from now on. Try to go out less. The palace is large; if you feel bored, take strolls inside the palace grounds."

"Mm, I won’t go out anymore. If I feel cooped up, I’ll go to the garden with Grandpa and Grandma to admire the flowers. Truthfully, this time really scared me." Teng Ai Ni instinctively touched her belly.

"Anyone would be scared in a situation like that." Yi Luowa furrowed her brow slightly. "Ai Ni, I still can’t visit you, so take good care of yourself. If you need anything, call me—I’ll chat with you anytime. I’m just an idle person anyway."

Teng Ai Ni pursed her lips, "You have two kids—how are you idle? Sis-in-law, why don’t you get some sleep instead?"

"In this house, I’m the most idle! I don’t even have to take care of the kids. Earlier tonight, I couldn’t sleep and went to check on the babies. Guess what? The nursery was empty—Dad had taken them to sleep in his room."

Teng Ai Ni laughed, "Dad’s bed is a sacred space; only Mom, Sangyu, and Ziyan are allowed on it."

"Mm-hmm. Mom and your brother say the same thing. Ai Ni, these days, don’t eat anything spicy. Rest in bed as much as possible, and make sure to recuperate fully, got it?"

"Got it." Teng Ai Ni smiled at Tong Airui. "Brother, do you have more to say to Sis-in-law? She’s about to hang up."
