She wondered what she was thinking about, surely it’s because the work pressure has been too high lately. She thought that getting the order was the end of it, but she didn’t expect that the trouble was just beginning. Although the boss promised that she could refuse other projects during this period and focus on Mr. Liao’s order, the pressure was still increasing day by day.

Lu Weixi took a breather and washed her face in the restroom, then turned on her laptop and continued with her daytime work. She had felt out of sorts during the day, so naturally, she had to work overtime when she got back home in the evening.

She set up a group in WeChat and opened a group call to give instructions. In a short while, people in the group arrived one after another. Once immersed in her work, Lu Weixi’s bizarre thoughts certainly diminished. While sipping the black coffee the maid brought her, she worked on her computer and also attended to her voice call.

In a short while, the only sounds coming through the voice chat, besides the notifications about work, were the clicking of keyboard keys and the rustling of documents. They didn’t need to start negotiations with Qin Zhigu and Siyi Company yet, just preparing in advance was enough.

Lu Weixi started work at half-past eight, and now, after over an hour, it wasn’t even ten yet. As she was working, suddenly a baby’s cry was heard through the earpiece, followed by an older child’s whiny voice saying, “Help me look at this.”

Lu Weixi was wondering if it was a child from another designer’s house, but then she heard Xiaochen’s voice saying, “Sorry, Lu, please wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”

After that, she went to prepare milk for her child, put the baby to sleep, went over there to check the older child’s homework, and when she came back, it was already fifteen minutes later.

Xiaoqian, knowing that she was neither married nor had any children, teased her, “Oh, where did you secretly birth two children? Do tell.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? These are my cousin’s kids.” Xiaochen came back and started complaining, “My aunt and uncle live out of town, and my cousin’s in-laws are in poor health. My cousin’s husband is on a business trip, and she is swamped with work. Anyway, I stay with my mom, who is bored at home, so she offered to help out for a few days.”

Most of the new additions to the design team were women, older than Lu Weixi, and they were at the stage of having families and children themselves. The group of homemakers chatted away about topics like which baby formula to use, how to manage the relationship between two children, and the like.

Xiaochen continued to reflect, “But these two kids are quite obedient, the older one is very sensible, and the younger one is not too naughty. The older one is four years old, in the middle class of kindergarten, and the sister is not yet one. After kindergarten, the older one even helps take care of her sister. I always thought having a second child was scary, but if raised well, it’s not bad.”

“Oh, you’re already considering a second child before you even have a boyfriend.” Xiaoqian teased from the side.

“Who said I…” don’t have one, well, Xiaochen wanted to retort, then thought about how she’s still in the netizen stage with “Wang No-show”, although they chat every day, gossiping about work troubles. “Wang No-show” never gets bored and even offers her advice. Xiaochen also feels Mr. Wang might have feelings for her. However, she hasn’t confessed her feelings yet, so they cannot be considered boyfriend and girlfriend.

Clever Xiaochen immediately shifted the topic to Lu Weixi who had been quiet all along, “What about you, Lu?”
