The two brothers looked at each other, unsure what to do.

Zhang Yuxi said with a smile, "How about this? You two go discuss it, and if you can accept having a younger brother, then Mom and Dad can have another one."

"But let's be clear, if it's a little brother, you have to love him just as much, okay?"

An Lan nodded repeatedly. "That's right. Go on and discuss it."

The two brothers had no other choice. They could only go and feast their eyes on Little Treasure for now.

When Zhang Yuxi turned around, she saw An Lan looking at her with her chin propped in her hand. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

An Lan said very seriously, "I'm thinking that maybe my approach to parenting is wrong."

Zhang Yuxi was baffled.

In Zhang Yuxi's eyes, An Lan was actually doing a great job. For someone with her personality, she had changed tremendously for her children. Who would have thought that a girl who used to be so carefree and loved to party at bars could transform into such a model wife and mother after having kids? After all, who doesn't lose their temper when raising children?

"Maybe it's because I have Lin Feng around, so the children rarely fuss for my attention. That's why I can speak to them so calmly." Zhang Yuxi continued, "In fact, after giving birth, my emotional state was very unstable during my postpartum confinement period. The babies' crying deeply affected me; I felt depressed and on the verge of a breakdown. Then Lin Feng came into my life, and suddenly the gloom was lifted and everything got better."

"I really admire you for taking care of two children all by yourself and doing everything hands-on. If it were me, I might not have managed nearly as well as you."

Zhang Yuxi wasn't just trying to comfort An Lan; she was speaking the truth. When she honestly asked herself, she knew she couldn't have done it. The gentleness she had today was all thanks to Lin Feng. She loved him so, so much—so deeply she couldn't pull away, to the point where she couldn't imagine life without him.

An Lan sighed. "To put it bluntly, my man is a dog."

Zhang Yuxi was taken aback. Is that the main point? I don't think so! How did she even zero in on that?

The full moon banquet continued until noon. Aside from Zhang Yuxi greeting a few acquaintances and close relatives, Lin Feng handled everything else. With the help of Zhou Cuilan, Zhao Lizhen, and others, it was quite stress-free.

Wang Lu came over with Little Treasure in her arms. "She's getting prettier and prettier… I'm holding her to soak up some of this good fortune."

An Lan asked her, "Thinking of having one?"

Wang Lu sighed. "I wasn't planning to, but seeing how adorable Little Treasure is has me changing my mind."

Du Yan came over as well. "I know, right? Little Treasure is just too cute…"

An Lan laughed. "How about this? Let's make a pact to try for daughters together."

Wang Lu was speechless.

Du Yan was, too.

That was a truly crazy idea.

Zhang Yuxi was astonished. Are they serious?

Of course, several of the silly guys had the same thought. Since they all wanted daughters and were all considering a third child, why not team up and try together? It always felt like life was missing something without a daughter, leaving behind a trace of regret. Besides, Lin Feng's two little princesses were so wonderful, so cute, and so sweet. How could they not be inspired? This was especially true when their own sons weren't always so endearing. So now, they pinned all their hopes on a third child, hoping for a sweet little daughter to warm their hearts. How wonderful would that be!

When Lin Feng found out, he was completely baffled. "Well, whether you have a son or a daughter is up to fate."

Listening to them, it sounded as if having a daughter was already a done deal, they spoke with such certainty.

Lin Rui sighed. "We already have two sons. There's no way the third one could be a son too, right?" If that happened, it would be just too unlucky.

Lin Jiajun rubbed his chin. "That's still unknown, but it's possible."

Lin Rui made up his mind. "That settles it. We'll try for a third child, and whether it's a boy or a girl will be up to fate."

Liu Bo pursed his lips, not saying much. He used to be the one who wanted a daughter, but he eventually got over it. Then, An Lan started wanting one. Now, An Lan had become zen about it; the baby's gender didn't matter anymore. As long as she could take care of herself and not get angered to death, that was enough. An Lan's attitude made Liu Bo's heart pound with uncertainty. "I'll give it my all, too!"

Lin Feng could only say, "I wish you all the best."

After the banquet ended, the young people went out to have some fun, unanimously deciding to play cards.

Du Yan smiled at Lin Rui. "You're not drinking, so are you going to sing instead?"

Lin Rui didn't have many hobbies: smoking, drinking, playing cards, and, when he had free time, fishing and singing. In the past, the couple had a strained relationship and barely got by, but things were great now. Lin Rui was so swamped with work that he had no time or energy for wandering thoughts. Du Yan had also quit her job to focus on their home, and they were living a good life. Whenever they had free time and the kids were on vacation, they would travel or go hang out with Lin Feng and the others.

Lin Rui said nonchalantly, "I'm planning to quit drinking."

Du Yan was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

In front of everyone, Lin Rui laid down a card and announced, "I'm planning on having a third child. I'm getting older, so I need to take care of my health to prepare for having a daughter."

Mortified, Du Yan punched his arm. "What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many people here!"

Lin Rui was unbothered. "So what if there are people here? They've all decided they want daughters."

Wang Lu and An Lan were flabbergasted.

Lin Rui reminded his wife, "You need to take good care of yourself, too. Spend less time on your phone and eat less takeout. When we have a chance, let's go to the hospital for a full check-up."

Du Yan was speechless. He must have gotten quite a shock today!

The card game was just for fun, with no one winning or losing much. In the evening, the group went for a stroll through the night market.

The star of the day, Little Treasure, was sleeping in her crib like a little pig.

Zhang Yuxi laughed when she heard what Lin Feng said. "I just hope their efforts don't all go to waste."

Lin Feng looked at Little Treasure, feeling that a life like this was the definition of blissful happiness.

Lin Jiajun and Wang Lu left their two children with the grandparents, stealing half a day of leisure to continue their shopping. Both of them wanted a daughter. They were serious at first, but after returning to the daily grind of household chores and managing their shop, the plan was put on hold.

"Are you serious?" Wang Lu asked her husband.

"Of course. Did you think I was joking?"

"Then let's go for a full check-up to see where we stand."

When they had their first children, they were strong and healthy, so it wasn't a burden. Now, they both had minor health issues and needed to get checked out to assess the situation.

This full moon banquet had brought everyone together. The next time they'd all gather would probably be for the New Year. They had also taken Little Treasure to get her one-month photos taken, which they framed and hung up. Babies change so much; after the first month, she truly looked different every single day.

Ever since the four older children learned how to hold Little Treasure, the house turned into a daily stage for the drama of who got to hold the baby. Little Treasure wasn't shy with strangers and was happy to be held by anyone.

Lin Feng reminded them, "You can compete all you want, just make sure you don't hurt Little Treasure."

Little Treasure didn't have a particular favorite, but if she had to choose, it would be Lin Feng. At the very least, Lin Feng had a special talent: whenever Little Treasure started to cry, a hug from him was a guaranteed fix.
