Serena challengingly looked at Jianyu. He glanced back at Nana, and she also shook her head helplessly.
Jianyu thought about what Serena had said a few days back.
So she is indeed serious.
They were doing nothing but staring at each other, apparently in a stalemate.
Nana didn’t want any tension inside, so she asked him to sit while she makes his dumplings.
But Serena and Jinhai once again surrounded her.
Nana folded her arms and stared at them.
Jinhai pleaded. “Please keep me, Nana. At least Serena still has a place to go back, but I am homeless.”
Jianyu spat out the water he just drank and coughed hard.
“What the hell?”
Jinhai nodded and told him everything.
Jianyu had this sudden urge to go crazy.
Aunt threw him out, and now bro wants to work here? Like bro is seriously homeless and penniless?
He recalled the advice he gave Jinhai that night, and he faintly raised his eyebrow. He sighed.
Jianyu cleared his throat. “Nana. Why don’t you let him live here in Natsukashi?”
Jinhai’s gaze brightened.
Nana looked at him, dumbfounded. “Huh? Here?”
He nodded. “Yes. After all, you and the twins stay at the Liang villa now. So the rooms here are empty anyway. Bro can…have a roof over his head.” He felt really weird saying that.
Jinhai looked at him in appreciation and internally gave him a thumbs up.
Serena’s heart was hit with critical damage.
“That’s not fair. Clearly, he has made some grave mistakes, too, which is why Nana doesn’t want to be with him, but you are supporting him! Not that I am against it, but then support me too! This is clearly bias to him!”
She flared up.
Jianyu darted an indifferent glance at her. “Didn’t you say it’s Nana’s decision if she keeps you on the job or not? So it’s my decision who I talk in favor of someone and for whom I do not.”
Serena’s mouth puffed up more and more, but then it suddenly shrunk in size, and her shoulders drooped.
Jianyu looked back at Nana. “So, what do you think?”
Jinhai hopefully stared at her, maximizing his sad puppy eyes to the full effect.
“That is not going to work on me, Jinhai.”
Jinhai toned down.
Nana narrowed her eyes at Jianyu. “And why should I think about him anyway? Why should I care if he has a roof over his head or not or whether he has money in his wallet?”
Jianyu gulped.
Bro, now it’s all up to you. I cannot help you anymore.
Jinhai begged. “Nana, please. Please hire me and please let me stay here. I won’t be a bother to you. I promise.”
“Aren’t you asking a bit too much?”
Jinhai lowered his head and thought for a moment when he suddenly said, “Alright. Why don’t you ask our baby what it thinks about it?”
That was his last hope.
Jianyu coughed again. “Bro…like seriously?”
Jinhai smirked. “Our child is really intelligent. It immediately understands if we ask him or her any question.”
Nana stiffened.
From a few times, she had understood that somehow their baby was…biased towards Jinhai.
She recalled last night when the baby kicked in favor of Jinhai staying outside the villa while she also recalled another small argument they had two months back, and at that time as well, they had settled it with the baby’s decision… which was again in his side.
Nana straightened up. “No.”
“Why? If it kicks, then you give me the job and let me stay here. You…will not say no to our child, right?”
She gritted her teeth. “Don’t use that emotional card on me!”
Serena considered this as full-on cheating!
Whom will I ask?
She lowered her head to look at her tummy.
Meiling chimed in. “That is a good idea!”
“Well…” Jianyu thought, “Your baby is indeed intelligent. Why not give it a try?”
Qiu also nodded.
Jinhai slowly asked, “Can I touch your tummy?”
“No.” Nana straightforwardly rejected.
He turned downcast.
Jianyu was going to offer his help, but one glare from Jinhai, and he retreated. He sighed.
This man gets jealous so easily.
Meiling chirped. “Mam, mam, can I do it, please? Mam, it’s also about the business. Didn’t you see how hopeful all the girls were? If they come tomorrow and didn’t see Mr. Liu, they will be so disappointed. It can really affect our reputation too. We cannot make our customers downhearted. That is the first rule of any business, and that is what you have taught us.”
Nana suddenly felt as if everyone was conspiring her to help Jinhai. And now her words were thrown back at her.
Serena raised her hand. “Then why don’t we decide my fate like that too?”
She wasn’t with Nana in her pregnancy until now, so she hadn’t spent much time with her, but she only prayed that her baby would take her side too.
Jianyu glared at her, but she ignored him.
Nana got a bad feeling about all this.
Jianyu urged her mainly only for Jinhai. “Do it, Nana. Come on.”
“…Fine.”
Jinhai faintly smiled.
Meiling excitedly jumped in and gently put her hand on her tummy.
“Okay, let’s start.”
Don’t fail your Mama, please, Nana prayed.
Nana quickly said, “First, ask the negative.”

Jinhai had no problem.
Jianyu also curiously leaned in. “Wait. Nana, please let me feel it too.”
Serena stiffened just a bit. She felt a little sad that Jianyu never felt their baby’s kick.
No Serena. Don’t get sad again. You are doing this to fix everything. Don’t lose hope.
Nana asked, “Huh? Sure. Why are you pleading for it?”
Jinhai coldly stared at him, and she immediately.understood.
“Ignore Jinhai.” She looked at Jinhai, “And you. Stop doing that.”
Jinhai furiously but reluctantly nodded.
Jianyu grinned and put his hand on her tummy too.
Meiling said, “Okay. Let’s finally start!”
“Ask the negative first!”
“Yes, mam. Okay, so little prince or princess Liu, do you NOT want your daddy to work and stay in Natsukashi?”
They concentrated on feeling any kick.
But there was no answer. Meiling shook her head. “It didn’t kick.”
Nana freaked out.
“Ask again!”
Jinhai was internally jumping around in victory.
Meiling coughed. She repeated the question, but there was still no answer.
“No answer,” Jianyu said.
Jinhai asked, “Now, ask my question.”
Nana sweated.
Meiling asked, “Do you want your daddy to work and stay here?”
There was a kick. And then again.
Nana froze.
Meiling exclaimed. “Wow! The baby kicked. Twice! It really understands what we ask!”
Jianyu nodded too. “It is so cool.”
Jinhai masked his extreme joy and cleared his throat. “So, what do you think, Nana?”
Nana bit her lip.
Why? Why do you always take his side!?
I don’t want him beside me, but you always force us to be together!
Jianyu said, “Well, that’s what we had decided. Plus, I think he should stay here rather than standing outside your house like a sore thumb.”
Jinhai gritted his teeth.
Nana was quiet for a moment before she said, “…Okay. But!” She squinted her gaze at Jinhai. “You will only do what I say. You will not come anywhere near me and maintain your distance. If even once I found you crossing your line, then you will have to leave immediately!”
Jinhai agreed. “As you say. I will listen to whatever you say.”
It was hard for him to control his happiness.
Thank you, my baby. You didn’t disappoint your Papa.
Serena said, “Now, my turn!”
Jianyu raised his voice. “Not you!”
“You don’t decide that.” She looked at Nana. “Nana, please. It’s only fair that I get a fair chance too. Please!”
Nana asked, “Will you not bother me again if it didn’t kick?”
Serena gulped.
Well then…I will have to give up on this idea and think of something else.
She slowly nodded.
Qiu said, “Now, I will ask.”
She placed her hand on her tummy and said, “Prince or princess Liu, do you want Miss Serena to work here? Do you want your Mama to say yes?”
There was a beat of silence. Qiu concentrated, but she didn’t feel any kick.
Serena’s heart thudded fast as she didn’t hear Qiu’s response.
Please, please, please, baby. Your aunt really needs this chance. Please…
Jianyu smirked. “It didn’t kick-“
Suddenly, the baby kicked once and then again.
He froze, and Qiu’s gaze brightened. “It kicked! And just like Meiling said it did twice! Mam, your baby is awesome!”
Serena drew out a long breath.
Thank you…Thank you so much…I promise I won’t let you down.
Nana had nothing to say. She inwardly sobbed.
Do you even love your Mama anymore?
The baby kicked again.
“…”
Why don’t I feel that!?
“Ah, it kicked again.”
Jianyu’s expression turned dark.
Serena victoriously grinned at him. “Now, won’t you say that it was decided and I should stay?”
“Don’t be so arrogant!”
“Heh!”
Nana felt tired, and in the end, both Jinhai and Serena got what they wanted.
Nana said, “And you too, Serena. You would only talk about what is necessary and related to work.”
“Yes, Mam!”
Both Jinhai and Serena inwardly exclaimed in happiness.
