"Remember this, Jian Fei. I don't care about other families, but in the Ke family, the most important meaning of parents' hard work is:"
"That children can grow up without having to work so hard, that they can freely choose their profession, and freely choose their lover."
"If one day they get married, it will be purely because of love, and for no other reason."
"This is what Ke Teng's maternal grandparents said back then. Today, I pass this message on to you, and you must pass it on to the next generation."
With double happiness arriving overnight, the family was so excited they could barely sleep.
The next day, Ke Teng insisted on taking Jian Fei to the hospital for another check-up.
"You've been eating too poorly lately. Let the doctor prescribe some supplements for you, and bring Dad along for his review."
Upon examination at the hospital, Jian Fei was indeed pregnant, and Ke Jingyu's health was also quite good. It was truly a joyous occasion.
At noon, Ke Teng treated them to a private dining restaurant to celebrate.
"Did you hear what the doctor said? Even if you can't eat, you must try. Even if you eat and then throw it up, the baby won't get enough nutrition."
"You know this better than I do, so I won't say much. Let's eat slowly, no rush."
Ke Jingyu remembered that Ke Teng's mother used to vomit a lot during her pregnancy. Drinking some sour plum soup always helped, so he specifically instructed someone to make it for her.
As the family was enjoying a harmonious meal, a group of guests arrived at the restaurant, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
It wasn't that the guests were of great importance, but rather they were incredibly beautiful and adorable.
Four children, four boys and four girls, all looking almost identical, dressed in black high-necked sweaters, matching designer leather jackets, jeans, and white sneakers, like little stars, walked in alongside a slender and attractive woman.
Quadruplets are rare enough, and such beautiful ones even rarer, causing some to exclaim.
"Wow, what adorable children, look."
The four children were accustomed to being looked at and paid no mind, their gaze fixed forward as they followed Jiang Nan Fang to their seats.
Jian Fei's maternal instincts kicked in, and she was particularly interested in the children, naturally noticing them.
"What adorable children, look."
Ke Teng and Ke Jingyu exchanged glances, neither speaking.
It had been a long time since they had visited Nan Cheng, and upon arrival, they encountered Jiang Nan Fang. They wondered how Ke Teng would react.
Ke Jingyu had no intention of intervening.
After all, China is not that large, and even if they didn't meet today, they would eventually.
Ke Teng had to settle his own affairs.
Jiang Nan Fang focused on guiding the children, not noticing them.
It wasn't until they were seated and had ordered that Jingyu, whose position allowed him to see Ke Teng's face, made a sound.
"Uncle Ke Teng!"
He happily slid off his chair and ran towards Ke Teng.
"Long time no see, I finally see you! Did you miss me?"
"Grandpa Ke, you're here too!"
Hearing her brother call out, Tian Tian also looked over and then rushed towards Ke Jingyu.
"Grandpa Ke!"
Ke Teng and Ke Jingyu had genuinely treated the two children well in the past, which is why the children still remembered them.
Even though the adults had a falling out, the children were innocent.
Moreover, Ke Teng loved them because he loved Jiang Nan Fang, and even now, he still liked Jiang Nan Fang's children very much.
Seeing Jingyu run over, he bent down to catch him and tickled his nose.
"Long time no see, you've grown taller again, and you're getting handsomer. Did you miss Uncle?"
"Yes! You haven't come to see me in such a long, long time!"
Jingyu's eyes shifted, and he saw Jian Fei beside him.
"Wow, what a beautiful sister. Is she your girlfriend?"
Since they had encountered old acquaintances, there was no reason to pretend not to know them. Jiang Nan Fang brought the other two children over.
"Ke Teng, Mr. Ke, long time no see."
Ke Jingyu stood up with Tian Tian in his arms, teased her for a few moments, then looked at Jiang Nan Fang.
"You've raised the children very well. I truly like them, they are so beautiful. How have you been lately?"
"Thank you, Mr. Ke, I'm doing quite well. I heard you've been living in Nan Cheng recently. If you like, and if it's convenient, I can bring them to see you sometime."
After speaking, she saw Jian Fei looking at her and nodded to Jian Fei as well.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Nan Fang. Ke Teng, aren't you going to introduce us?"
Jiang Nan Fang?
Jian Fei had just heard her name the previous night and knew that Ke Teng had liked her before.
But she hadn't expected her to already be the mother of four children.
To have children with someone else and still maintain such good relations with Ke Teng and his father showed that this woman was not only beautiful but also very intelligent.
Jiang Nan Fang knew Ke Teng's character; he wouldn't keep a woman he didn't like by his side, nor would he let her be so close to him.
This young woman, though she looked plain and simple, was gentle and refined, appearing very capable. Jiang Nan Fang liked her very much.
If she were Ke Teng's girlfriend, Jiang Nan Fang truly felt relieved for him.
His personality was too impetuous; he needed such a girl to calm him down.
Having a new girlfriend and someone he liked, he should, by all accounts, let go of the past.
However, Ke Teng had risked his life for Jiang Nan Fang, so it was impossible for him to have no regrets.
There was still some awkwardness, and he raised an eyebrow at Jiang Nan Fang.
"Don't you already know?"
Jiang Nan Fang clearly saw his awkwardness and couldn't help but smile.
"This young lady has an extraordinary aura and a calm demeanor. Your taste is excellent; she's very suitable for you."
Ke Teng: "Do I need you to tell me? You're still as glib-tongued as ever."
Jiang Nan Fang didn't argue with him. "Since you've met the parents, can I assume good news is on the horizon? Will I be able to attend the wedding in the future?"
Jingyu, in Ke Teng's arms, exclaimed with surprise.
"I want to go too! Uncle Ke is getting married? Marrying this beautiful sister? That's great, I want to go, I want to go too!"
"When will you have babies? Can I be an older brother? I really want a brother or sister. Uncle Ke, please say yes."
Jingyu, being quite perceptive, saw the slight awkwardness between Ke Teng and his mother and used his charm to give him an out.
Ke Teng hugged him and ruffled his hair. "You know quite a lot. You know you can have babies after getting married. Why don't you ask your mom to have another one for you?"
He hadn't paid attention to Zhan Bei Jue for a long time and didn't know about the major issues they had encountered.
It seemed they had a lot to talk about. It wasn't good for such a large group to stand around, so Ke Jingyu instructed.
"Since we've met by chance, let's share a table. Don't just stand there, everyone sit down."
Not answering Ke Teng's question seemed inappropriate, so after sitting down, Jiang Nan Fang calmly and frankly told him.
"I won't have any more children. The doctor said my body isn't very suitable. Having these four is enough."
"So, Miss Jian is pregnant?"
Could there be a special aura between mothers? She had seen through it.
Jiang Nan Fang looked at the sour plum soup by Jian Fei's hand and sincerely congratulated Ke Teng.
"You're going to be a daddy. Congratulations, congratulations."
