Qianqian touched the tip of her own nose: "Actually, I just wanted to say, keep the child away from Fourth Brother, don’t let him teach the kid bad habits."

"Exactly, exactly." An Hao nodded non-stop at the side, but still didn’t dare to get close to Qianqian, after all, Qin Nuan’s big belly seemed like it was about to explode. With an unhappy face, she looked at Yanran: "My sister won’t like me anymore; Fourth Brother is a meanie."

Yanran felt very aggrieved...

He Wenyu suddenly said from the side: "How about taking maternity photos? I just saw someone offering home service, but it costs extra."

"Are we short on money? Let’s take them." Qianqian waved her hand, looking excitedly at Qin Nuan: "How about it, Nuannuan?"

Qin Nuan supported her chin, looking thoughtfully at Yanran: "Do you still owe me something?"

"Whatever, I’ll buy anything you want. If I can’t afford it, there’s Qianqian." Yanran said calmly without a hint of embarrassment.

Qianqian rolled her eyes. This person can ignore any negative comments about himself. Whether it’s a side-effect from his time in the entertainment industry is unknown.

But An Hao was indeed completely ignored by Yanran.

"Such a big face, who cares about you? You could shoot naked and I wouldn’t mind." Qianqian touched Qin Nuan’s big belly and laughed: "I’m only considering this for the sake of our family’s next generation."

"No need to bother, I’ll get someone to come here to shoot later. Haoran’s film resources are pretty good now, we have Gold Card makeup artists and seasoned photographers. Our own company even offers it for free. We can also add Qianqian and Xiao Yu’s coming-of-age photos." Xi Yue waved her hand, looking calmly at the group, presenting herself as quite the tycoon.

Upon hearing this, An Hao quickly approached, hugging Xi Yue’s leg, with big, watery eyes looking at Xiying: "Big Uncle..."

Everything was understood without words...

"Well... in that case, make sure to bring a wedding dress. I will also add the wedding photos previously missed for the Masters." Qianqian blinked: "Also call my brother, take a matchmaking photo for him."

Yanran’s face was instantly filled with disbelief. This is truly the treatment only a biological brother would get! Even if Shufan isn’t as handsome as him, it’s not like he needs matchmaking?

"Forget about the wedding photos, let’s wait until they’ve all given birth." Xi Yue shook her head: "And with so many people, aren’t you afraid of crowding your Fourth Sister-in-Law?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Qianqian glanced at Qin Nuan’s big belly and immediately fell silent.

With a command from President Luo, several cars soon arrived at the door. Qianqian calmly tidied up the living room, putting away all the big pieces. With Yan around, it was as if Qianqian used him as a mobile warehouse.

Setting up the scene, applying makeup, changing clothes, adjusting lighting.

After all the fuss, two to three hours had passed, and the sky had turned slightly darker, with the sunset dyeing the entire sky red.

Watching Qin Nuan and Yanran taking outdoor shots in the yard, Qianqian sat by the window, smiling gently.

"Why aren’t you getting made up?" Elvis glanced outside and walked up to Qianqian; He Wenyu was already getting made up.

Qianqian shook her head calmly: "Whether I’m eighteen, twenty-eight, or thirty-eight, I’ll always look like this, so what’s the difference if I apply makeup or not? Better to maintain my youthful innocence at eighteen."

"Regret it?" Elvis hesitated, not expecting this answer.

"No, my life will never let me feel regretful." Everything from the past taught her a lesson; now she possesses all she once yearned for yet couldn’t have. What’s there to regret?

"Qianqian!" He Wenyu, dressed in a blue long gown reaching the floor, wearing white high heels and a small crown, came forward. Like a charming and pure little princess, she had a light layer of makeup. Her look wasn’t exaggerated.

"Pretty." Qianqian smiled at He Wenyu and went to change into a dress herself.

A short pink dress, matching He Wenyu’s set.

The clothes were all brand new, so they didn’t have to worry about wearing clothes previously worn by others.

With a simple hairstyle and some jewelry, the two posed together, snapping a few shots indoors. Then, Qianqian changed out of the dress and let He Wenyu take more photos by herself, quietly sitting by the window.

"What’s wrong?" Xi Yue approached her daughter, concerned, upon seeing her somewhat troubled profile.

"Dad." Qianqian softly called, gazing at Qin Nuan’s big smiling face: "Why is it that after becoming a mother, with all that pain and vomiting, they still laugh so happily?"

"Because it’s a magnificent process. Every mother deserves to be praised for their greatness; your mom too. Ten months of pregnancy, giving birth, years of constant care—giving children all the love, sacrificing beautiful clothes, delicate jewelry, exquisite makeup—for their children, a mother’s strength should never be underestimated." Xi Yue gently embraced Qianqian, resting her head against hers: "Nurturing life, propagating generations, is truly worthy of respect."

Qianqian blinked, her eyes sparkling: "I understand; women are inherently weak, but as mothers, they are strong."

If not for this, how could her mom, once tormented by illness, have carried the family?

"Dad..."

"Hmm?"

"We all owe mom an apology."

She owed it for her past willfulness; Xi Yue owed it for his long absence.

Thankfully, she never stopped her mom from seeking her love.

Even when dad returned, she never regretted it.

"Hmm, I know." Xi Yue embraced Qianqian, watching the two happy people in the yard: "So, you need to love your mom well on behalf of dad in the future."

"The three of us will be good to mom, but dad, are you really not planning to go back?" This world, after all, still carries dangers...

"As long as you and your brother are fine, that’s enough. I just hope you all stay healthy and happy." Xi Yue sighed wryly; even though the brothers and children accepted the truth, his parents initially suffered for his sake, and appearing now might not be an easy thing to accept.

And An Zilan, his former wife—he should consider himself as dead so this woman could find more happiness with Lin Xu. Him appearing might not be the best thing for them.

Flashlights blinked as Yan clicked the camera, preserving this peaceful, warm beauty.

After the shoot, watching everyone leave, Qianqian calmly sent the pregnant couple home, sending some treats to her brother too.

When she returned, her face turned sour.
