My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 366: Rediscovering Glory

Lou Bancheng looked at the gold necklace his wife was wearing and nodded, saying, "Zhang Lei has a really good eye; this style of necklace suits you perfectly."

However, Lou's mother rolled her eyes at Lou's father and said, "You still know? How long has it been since you gave me a gift? You're not as thoughtful as your son-in-law."

Upon realizing he'd been wrongly accused, Lou Bancheng said somewhat guiltily, "Hey, we're an old married couple, why bother with all that ceremonies?"

When Lou's mother heard Lou's father say this, she ignored him and continued to admire the gifts she had received.

Soon the family was back at the dinner table, eating and chatting.

Before leaving, Lou's parents gave the two of them a lot of groceries, worried that Zhang Lei wouldn't accept them, and said that Zhang Lei's family had many people, so he had to take them. Only then did Zhang Lei accept them.

After the two left, Lou Bancheng looked at the Shenbao Pills that Zhang Lei had brought over in his study, and swallowed them with water with some skepticism.

But just three minutes after swallowing, I suddenly felt hot all over and found that I had inexhaustible strength all over my body, and I felt my virility rise again.

Then he decisively rushed out of the study and pulled up Lou's mother, who was drinking tea in the living room.

Lou's mother was startled by Lou's father's action and said, "Old Lou, what are you doing?"

Lou Bancheng didn't explain, but said, "Come with me."

The two soon arrived at the bedroom.

Seeing Lou Bancheng's excited expression, Lou's mother said, "Old Lou, what are you doing? It's broad daylight."

Lou Bancheng closed the curtains and the door tightly.

The Lou family's steward looked at Lou Bancheng's actions with suspicion. A servant nearby, hearing the commotion upstairs, quietly asked the steward, "Master, Madam, what are you doing? Why are you making such a racket?"

The butler looked at the talkative servant and said, "Shut your mouth. Have you forgotten the rules?"

Hearing the steward's reprimand, the servants quickly shut their mouths in fear and continued cleaning.

An hour later, the noise from upstairs stopped.

Nestled in her husband's arms, Lou's mother asked with delight, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Lou Bancheng looked at his satisfied mother and said with a smile, "How about it? I'm not any worse than I was back then, am I?"

At this moment, Lou Bancheng felt an indescribable gratitude towards Zhang Lei. After all, middle age is a time of hardship, and he was forced to drink goji berries from his thermos. He used to be able to pee three feet against the wind, but now he was getting wet even with the wind at his back. Only he knew how difficult it was for a man his age.

But now, this indescribable feeling of exhilaration fills Lou Bancheng with confidence.

Lou Bancheng glanced at his wife beside him, then decisively pounced on her again.

Hearing the commotion upstairs again, the housekeeper could only shake his head helplessly.

On the other side, after returning from the Lou family's house, Zhang Lei started riding his bicycle around again.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure on the bus.

Zhang Lei quickly stopped the bus next to it and greeted Yang Maixiang.

When Yang Maixiang heard someone call her, she turned around and saw Zhang Lei. She was immediately delighted and came down, saying, "Hey, it's you."

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to work here."

Yang Maixiang smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect to run into you by such a coincidence."

Zhang Lei looked at Yang Maixiang and said with a smile, "Looks like I can find someone to help me when I take the bus from now on."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Yang Maixiang smiled generously and said, "Okay, just mention me from now on. I won't charge you for taking the bus."

The two joked with each other.

Zhang Lei looked at Yang Maixiang and said with a smile, "Yang Maixiang, how are things between you and Liu Hongchang?"

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Yang Maixiang smiled, nodded, and said, "After you left that day, the two of us went to see a movie."

Hearing Yang Maixiang's words, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Congratulations! Your relationship with Liu Hongchang has taken another step forward."

Yang Maixiang thought for a moment and said, "It's not really a step forward, we just watched a movie. Liu Hongchang hasn't contacted me these past few days either."

Hearing Yang Maixiang say this, Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea for you. Liu Hongchang is a blockhead; don't expect him to come to you. You need to take the initiative. After all, as the saying goes, 'It's easier for a woman to pursue a man than for a man to pursue a man.' Wouldn't it be easier if you took the initiative to pursue him? And don't just focus on Liu Hongchang; think about Liu Hongchang's mother. If you gain her approval, wouldn't it be easier to marry Liu Hongchang?"

Yang Maixiang was taken aback when she heard Zhang Lei's words. After all, in this day and age, who would take the initiative to pursue a man?

Looking at Yang Maixiang's expression, Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Yang Maixiang, just listen to me, otherwise, if Liu Hongchang falls for someone else, you'll regret it."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Yang Maixiang nodded involuntarily.

Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly heard the bus preparing to leave, so I quickly got on the bus.

Zhang Lei glanced at the departing bus, waved goodbye to Yang Maixiang from a distance, and then left.

Zhang Lei thought that as long as Yang Maixiang did as he said, she would be able to take down Liu Hongchang with almost no chance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lei hummed a song and continued riding his bicycle.

Time flies, and it's that time of the month again when Zhang Lei submits his purchasing assignments.

Zhang Lei had just come out of the steel rolling mill when he saw Qin Huairu looking flustered.

Watching Qin Huairu's route, Zhang Lei muttered to himself in confusion, "Is Qin Huairu going to the hospital?"

Zhang Lei followed curiously.

With two ringing sounds, Qin Huairu was startled. Seeing Zhang Lei behind her, she quickly patted her chest and said, "Zhang Lei, what are you doing? You scared me!"

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she straightened her collar.

Zhang Lei looked at Qin Huairu and said with a smile, "Qin Huairu, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"

Hearing Zhang Lei say this, Qin Huairu said, "What do you mean by sneaking around? I was just in a bit of a hurry."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you're walking a bit too fast. Are you going to the hospital?"

Qin Huairu nodded.

Zhang Lei asked, "Are you sick?"

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "No, I haven't been feeling well for the past two days. I can't eat and I've been feeling nauseous. I want to get checked out."

Hearing Qin Huairu's reaction, Zhang Lei asked suspiciously, "Qin Huairu, are you pregnant?"

Upon hearing the news of pregnancy, Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed possible. Wasn't she the same person when she was pregnant with Bang Geng?

Looking at Zhang Lei, who was startled by Qin Huairu's gaze, he said, "Qin Huairu, why are you looking at me like that? You're pregnant right now, it can't possibly be mine, right?"

Hearing Zhang Lei say this, Qin Huairu's face was full of disappointment. She really wanted to get pregnant with Zhang Lei's child, but unfortunately she couldn't.

Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "Come on, get in the car, I'll take you there."
