Chapter 1461 - 1463

Gong Ruini has no idea how much Gong Jiaming has been worrying over their situation.

After eating, Gong Ruini exercises at home under the supervision of Gong Ruzhi.

Watching Gong Ruzhi handle data at the dining table, Gong Ruini pouts dramatically.

"Ah, little brother, you were so easy-going when you were young, all soft and agreeable."

Thinking back to when Gong Ruzhi was a baby scented with milk, no matter how you spoke, he would always take what his sister said as gospel.

But now, he’s really starting to climb over his sister’s head, even acting as the foreman.

"Sister, no use complaining anymore." If Gong Ruzhi had heard Gong Ruini say things like this before, he’d be tense, wondering if he was being too strict.

He might’ve considered relaxing a bit for Gong Ruini, but he’s experienced this many times.

Especially since Gong Ruini often repeats the same words, Gong Ruzhi is now immune.

If he wasn’t worried about acting too arrogant and his sister filing complaints to her husband, he might even scratch his ears.

"Sis, think about it, you’re going to deliver twins. You don’t want it done with one cut, do you?" Gong Ruzhi said soothingly.

"A cut, then a cut." Gong Ruini said defiantly, truly not understanding why it’s such a tense thing in their eyes to resolve the birth with surgery.

Ha, seriously? Gong Ruzhi was really shaken by Gong Ruini. Is this the sister from his memories who hated hospitals and avoided them when possible?

"Sis, that’s a cut, I heard C-sections aren’t good for the body, can lead to aftereffects." Gong Ruzhi was genuinely worried.

Worried that just because of a word from him, his sister would decide on surgery unyieldingly.

Even though the husband’s stance is to act according to the sister’s wishes, Gong Ruzhi thinks he still hopes for a natural birth.

"I heard naturally born kids are smart and healthy..." Gong Ruzhi was racking his brains to list the benefits of a natural birth.

Smart kids and good health, does it have anything to do with a natural birth? Gong Ruini was really puzzled.

It sounds like sensible reasoning, but to Gong Ruini, it’s truly illogical, "Xiao Zhi, you should read some books on genetics."

"Know that whether a child is smart is related to inherent factors and their parents’ intelligence."

"Post-birth, it depends on whether they work hard."

"Physical health also depends on whether they take care of themselves and work out."

"Look at Guang Ran, back in China he had such a good figure, at least no belly, but now he keeps hoping for six-pack abs and to lose his belly."

At this moment, Gong Ruini doesn’t forget to tease her childhood friend, "I just hope they won’t turn out like their uncle."

My goodness, my sister is really not easy to fool, Gong Ruzhi admits he’s running low on stock, better not to embarrass himself.

"Wonder if Brother Guangran’s ears are red now." In such a short time, Gong Ruzhi already can’t count how many times his sister has teased Zhao Guangran.

Zhao Guangran didn’t connect the dots at all, he was actually worried, "Brother, do you think mom will say I look thinner when she sees me?"

"Will she think I’ve been too tired lately?"

Zhao Guangran was really anticipating his mom’s reaction when she sees him, last time she came to the United States for his graduation, she hugged him saying he looked thinner.

Seeing Zhao Guangran lost in thought, Gong Jiaming ignored him, knowing reality will tell him to stop dreaming.

Zhao Xuran glanced at his brother lost in his world and stayed silent, realizing some things are better discovered on one’s own.

Besides, pleasing this kid isn’t easy, he had to put in a lot of effort just now.

Just like that, the group drove to the airport, Zhao Guangran, in good spirits, looked around, "Airplane food is terrible, I’ll go buy something to eat."

Predicting mom would rush to the United States without preparing much, and she’d be in sleep mode on the plane to get ready to care for everyone once she arrived.

"Alright." Zhao Xuran didn’t want to hear Zhao Guangran explain his reasons for buying snacks for mom.

No matter how many reasons he gave, it couldn’t hide his desire to flatter mom, sometimes a kid’s wish needs to be met, or else they’ll lose confidence.

In high spirits and having recently made a lot of money, Zhao Guangran wasn’t stingy when buying things.

"Brother, coffee."

"Jia Ming, coffee." Thinking about how sneaky the family’s coffee-drinking habits had become, Zhao Guangran felt all kinds of discomfort.

"Thanks." Zhao Xuran wasn’t very fond of coffee, but it’s a good option while waiting.

"Brother, you know when Ni Zi’s upstairs, I can drink coffee in my room without any problems." Zhao Xuran carefully suggested while his elder brother was in a good mood from his coffee.

"You sure Ni Zi won’t come down?"

"Isn’t there a café downstairs? You can go there for coffee, you might even meet a pretty girl." Zhao Xuran retorted bluntly.

As if he didn’t know about Zhao Guangran’s encounter with a girl last time in the café downstairs, though the girl completely ignored him.

Aah, how did my brother know? Zhao Guangran was astounded. He would never talk about such an embarrassing failed flirt, too humiliating.

How did he know? Zhao Guangran stopped thinking, "Did Dai Limin say something?"

"I knew that guy’s mouth wasn’t reliable, just a penny’s worth of honesty, sigh. He had promised not to spill the beans."

His assurance still rings in my ears, yet it’s already spread like wildfire, all the silly things I did.

Hmph, once I’m back, I’ll educate him thoroughly; if you promise something, you should keep your word.

Zhao Xuran didn’t bother to remind him; yes, it was Dai Limin who mentioned it, though not intentionally, it came up when he was speaking with Gong Jiaming, and Zhao Xuran overheard a couple of sentences by chance.

Since it was about Zhao Guangran’s embarrassing story, as a brother, how could he not be a little concerned?

"I bet your reputation for being flirtatious is quite famous here." Zhao Xuran has completely given up on his brother’s flirtatious ways.

Fortunately, it’s abroad, and everyone’s an adult with definitely cordial breakups; otherwise, back in China, with his relentless flirting, we’d worry about constant house visits.

Famous? "Isn’t that normal?" Zhao Guangran boasts about being such an extraordinary person.

"Speaking of which, brother, do you think in a couple of years, I should become a dad too?" Zhao Guangran might have once had expectations about having kids.

But now, he really has little interest; to him, life should be about enjoying the moment, having a kid, so what?

Yet seeing Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini being sweet, it would be false to claim he has no thoughts about it.
