Jiang An estimated that the living room alone was three to four hundred square meters. The room was clean and bright. There were many exquisite knives hanging on the wall opposite the floor-to-ceiling glass window. One could tell at a glance that the workmanship was expensive.

On the other side, the huge screen almost filled the whole wall. The sofa was placed 10 meters away from the screen. There was some fitness equipment in the empty space behind it. There was a space in the living room that could be used as a pantry to make some simple food.

There seemed to be a few more rooms behind. Jiang An couldn’t just wander around, so she swept her gaze across them.

Zou Bai poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of Jiang An. Then, he sat down on the single sofa beside him. “Yes, I’m the only one living on the top floor.”

“I saw the Si family announce their marriage to Miss Bai. He hasn’t come to look for you recently, right?”

Jiang An picked up the glass of water and took a few sips. She looked at Zou Bai and shook her head. She said casually, “He’s about to get married. I don’t think he wants to socialize with me anymore.”

The corners of Zou Bai’s mouth curled up slightly. He retracted his gaze, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and suggested, “Let’s watch a movie together.”

Wen Li and Li Mei were still chatting enthusiastically downstairs. Seeing this, Jiang An did not intend to disturb them. When she heard Zou Bai’s words, she agreed. “Alright, you choose.”

Zou Bai chose a relaxed and cheerful theme. The movie was two hours long, and he had only seen one-third of it. From the corner of his eye, Zou Bai realized that Jiang An had already fallen asleep. Her breathing was calm, and she seemed to have entered dreamland.

Zou Bai smiled helplessly. He got up, picked up the thin blanket beside him, and gently covered Jiang An with it. Then, he returned to the sofa and sat down. He quietly looked at Jiang An’s sleeping face in a daze.

Zou Bai sat there for a while before he got up and returned to the study to handle the company’s matters remotely.

An hour later, Zou Bai caught a glimpse of the photo albums on the corner of his desk. He suddenly remembered that he hadn’t touched it since he left the warehouse that day. He stretched out his arm and pulled the photo album in front of him, starting to flip through it carefully.

Zou Bai casually flipped to a photo of himself when he was two years old. When a face identical to Jiang Yi’s appeared in the photo album, Zou Bai instantly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Although he still tried his best to maintain his composure, the slightly forceful grip he used when holding the photo album betrayed his true emotions.

Zou Bai looked at the photo album again and again, but after all, the people in the photo were dressed 30 years ago. Zou Bai quickly confirmed that he was not seeing things or mixing things up. The child in his mother’s hand in the photo was indeed him. “This… What’s going on? It’s identical?!”

“Zou Bai, I’m sorry. I fell asleep.” Jiang An’s voice suddenly interrupted Zou Bai’s shock.

Zou Bai looked up and saw Jiang An standing at the door. An unnatural expression flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal. He closed the photo album naturally and smiled at Jiang An. “It’s okay. You didn’t sleep for long. Do you want to rest for a while?”

Jiang An clenched her fist and hit her shoulder. Her shoulder was a little stiff from sleeping just now. “There’s no need. I’m much more energetic after taking a nap.”

Zou Bai put the photo album aside, stood up, and walked out of the bedroom. He asked in a seemingly casual and curious manner, “An’an, nowadays when you give birth in the hospital, are the children always within the mother’s line of sight?”

Jiang An nodded. “That’s right. If the nurse needs to do any checkups on the babies after they’re sent back to the ward, she’ll take the initiative to let a parent accompany her and watch them through the glass window. This will also reassure the family.”

Zou Bai thought of Jiang Yu’s abnormal way of addressing him and pretended to smile casually. “1 originally thought that Jiang Yu looked like you and Jiang Yi looked like Si Cheng, but when I saw him in the financial newspaper a few days ago, 1 realized that the father and son don’t seem to look very similar.”

When Jiang An heard this, she shrugged helplessly. “Indeed. Perhaps the Si family’s ancestors have the hidden genes of peach blossom eyes. Why do you suddenly want to ask about giving birth to kids?”

Zou Bai smiled. “I just saw a piece of news saying that the hospital mixed up newborns.”

Jiang An did not doubt him. “You’re reading old news, right? It did appear in the past, but it won’t happen now. The hospital’s management system is very perfect. Those medical staff are still afraid if we don’t send anyone to monitor the baby when they need to do procedures.”

Zou Bai carefully observed Jiang An’s expression and tone of voice. He did not find any unnatural expression on her face, so he did not probe further..
