Although Sang Pengcheng was unwilling, he could only listen to his daughter.
He waited for Sang Qianqian to tell Sang Minglang everything that had happened in the past year.
Afterward, Sang Minglang’s expression was already extremely solemn.
He couldn’t imagine how his sister had survived the days when she was threatened by Ruan Xiaodie, forced to separate from Shen Hanyu while being pregnant, and how she had put down her pride and gone to A Country alone to beg for Shen Hanyu’s forgiveness, only to return alone…
He looked at her with a complicated expression. After a long time, he raised his hand and patted her head.
“Shen Hanyu doesn’t want you and the child, but the Sang family wants you.”
“With Big Brother here, no one will dare to bully you and your child in the future.” Sang Minglang’s voice was rarely gentle.
Sang Qianqian felt a little sour. Her brother was rarely gentle to her, but once he was, it was really touching.
She rubbed her eyes and said, “Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say. Can you go change your clothes so we can go home now?”
Sang Minglang smiled and stood up, “Of course.”
When he came out after changing his clothes, there was another person in the ward.
Sang Minglang was slightly surprised, “It’s you?”
Zhang Xue frantically avoided his gaze. She turned around and whispered goodbye to Sang Qianqian and Sang Pengcheng. “I’ll be leaving first then. Goodbye.”
“It’s New Year’s Eve today. We have to eat a special dinner.”
Sang Qianqian refused to let her go. “Let’s go to our house tonight.”
Zhang Xue quickly rejected her. “No need. You guys should hurry back.”
Sang Qianqian pulled her along. “Don’t be shy, let’s go.”
“Your family isn’t in Ming City. Wouldn’t it be boring to celebrate New Year’s Eve alone?”
Sang Pengcheng said kindly, “Let’s go to our house. It will be more lively there with us.”
After Ruan Xiaoshuang left, Sang Pengcheng asked for a few more nurses to take care of his son.
However, Sang Qianqian insisted Zhang Xue to stay, and since the latter seemed to be very willing to take care of Sang Minglang, Sang Pengcheng didn’t say anything else.
This girl looked young and didn’t talk much. She always lowered her head.
However, it had to be said that she really did her best to take care of Sang Minglang, and her actions were also very polite and measured.
As time passed, Sang Pengcheng’s impression of her was quite good.
Thinking about how Zhang Xue was also the daughter of a good family, he could not help but be grateful for her kindness. She had come to Ming City alone just because she liked her son and waited on him by his bedside every day.
Therefore, he took the initiative to invite her to the Sang family’s residence for the new year.
“Thank you, Uncle Sang. However, I really can’t go.”
Zhang Xue tried her best to find an excuse. ”1-1 still have to pack my luggage. I’m flying back to Yuecheng tomorrow morning.”
As soon as she said that, she quickly realized how clumsy this excuse was.
“How long will it take to pack your luggage?” Sang Qianqian immediately said. “I’ll help you pack later.”
“Let Minglang go. You still have to take care of your child, Qianqian.”
Sang Pengcheng smiled kindly at Zhang Xue. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll get Minglang to send you to the airport.”
“No, no, there’s no need to send me off…”
Zhang Xue was practically incoherent. “I can do it myself…”
“He’s just sending you off. What’s the big deal?”
Sang Pengcheng smiled and said, “You’ve taken care of Minglang for so long. Forget about sending you to the airport, he should even send you back to Yuecheng.”
“Aren’t you leaving tomorrow? We can decide things by that time.”
Sang Minglang, who had been silently watching the three of them refuse each other’s suggestions, couldn’t take it anymore. “Let’s just go eat first.”
His tone did not allow for rejection, so Zhang Xue had no choice but to follow the Sang family into their car.

Forty minutes later.
Once Sang Minglang reached home, he went straight to the second floor to see his little nephew.
Sang Qianqian smiled and looked at Zhang Xue. ‘You haven’t met my child, have you? Let’s go and take a look together.”
She pulled Zhang Xue upstairs as Sang Minglang was taking the child from the nanny.
He carried the child according to the nanny’s instructions. His arms were as stiff as a robot and he did not dare to move at all.
Sang Qianqian was amused. “Brother, you look so funny.”
“There’s a first time for everything. 1’11 get used to it slowly, won’t you?”
Sang Minglang didn’t argue and replied very seriously.
He looked at the child in his arms. The child also tilted his little head and looked at Sang Minglang curiously. Suddenly, he grinned and seemed to want to say something.
Sang Minglang’s heart was about to melt from the cuteness, he hugged the child and refused to let go.
After a while, he suddenly felt a warm sensation on his hand, and the baby’s pants were wet.
“Looks like you really love Uncle. You gave him a big gift the moment you met him.”
Sang Minglang handed the child over to Sang Qianqian to deal with. He finally had the time to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks. “Uncle will remember this debt.”
“Don’t pinch him.”
“You can’t pinch him.”
Sang Qianqian and Zhang Xue spoke almost simultaneously. Their gazes met, and for the first time, Zhang Xue pursed her lips and smiled.
“Why not?” Sang Minglang asked doubtfully.
“Because a baby’s face is thin, and his parotid tissues are not fully developed.”
Sang Qianqian told him about how to raise a child. “If you pinch his face too much, he will drool all the time. It’s easy to cause saliva rash and mumps.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
Sang Minglang suddenly understood and found a way out for himself. “I really don’t know since I’ve never raised a child.”
Sang Qianqian smiled. “Xiao Xue also has never raised a child before. However, I chatted with her for a while, and she’s very knowledgeable about raising children.”
Sang Minglang looked at Zhang Xue, “I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable.”
“Actually, I only know a little.”
Zhang Xue explained embarrassedly, “I helped my cousin take care of a child before, so that’s why I know all this.”
Sang Qianqian was slightly surprised. “You’ve even raised a child before?”
Zhang Xue nodded. “My cousin is very close to me. She’s six years older than me and got married early. I often went to visit her and take care of her children.”
She was indeed telling the truth, because she was much more skilled than Sang Minglang in carrying the child.
Moreover, she was very good at coaxing children. She spoke softly and the baby loved to play with her.
“Xiao Xue, you will definitely be a good mother in the future.”
Sang Qianqian’s heartfelt words made Zhang Xue blush.
That night, the Sang family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was unusually sumptuous.
It was a rare reunion, mixed with a return to the old residence, and the joy of having a new family member.
After the dinner, a splendid fireworks feast bloomed in the courtyard.
That night, not only was the family bustling with activity, but the entire Ming City was filled with fireworks and firecrackers. It was late at night, and everyone was laughing and talking.
All the suffering seemed to have faded away on this night.
Amidst the sound of firecrackers, everyone was filled with new hope. They silently wished in their hearts that this new year would be better than the old one.
Sang Pengcheng was in a good mood, and couldn’t help but drink a few more cups. He also said a few words to Sang Minglang that he wouldn’t have said if he was sober.
“Ruan Xiaoshuang is a good girl. Unfortunately, she’s not fated to be with you.”
When Sang Minglang sent him back to his room, he patted the man’s shoulder and instructed, “Zhang Xue is also a good girl, you have to treat her well.”
