Her words took everyone present by surprise!
Zhang Yu was perplexed and immediately posed a flurry of questions,âHai Lan, do you have a boyfriend? How come I didnât know? Who is he? What does he do? Howâs his family?â
Hai Lan knew she would ask this. She replied indifferently, âNothing has been decided yet. Letâs talk about it when itâs confirmed.â
âHai Lan, you understand that your status is different now. Anyone who wants to be your boyfriend canât just be anybody. So, tell me who he is, so I can dig into his background. If he is not good enough for you, youâd better break up with him immediately. Understand?â Zhang Yu painstakingly admonished her, ignoring the occasion entirely.
But Hai Lan wasnât bothered, she smiled lightly and said, âMom, donât worry. I know what to do. Letâs eat. We are getting ahead of ourselves.â
âYes, letâs eatâ¦â He Meilian grinned and changed the topic. She served some chicken to Hai Xiaotang, caring said, âXiaotang, youâve lost some weight recently. Eat more, let me know if thereâs anything you want to eat. Iâll make it for you.â
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu subconsciously asked, âIs Xiaotang pregnant?â
Everyone instantly turned their gaze toward Hai Xiaotang. Hai Zhiyuan couldnât hide his exciting emotions, âWhat, Xiaotang, are you pregnant?â
Hai Xiaotangâs face turned slightly red, âNo, Grandfather. Not yet.â
âHave you gone to the hospital for a check-up?â Zhang Yu said in between bites of her food. âYou youngsters sometimes donât understand anything. There might be a chance youâre already pregnant and you donât know it. Besides, you two have been together for such a long time. Itâs possible that youâre pregnant and you just donât know.â
He Meilian believed this to be the case. She looked towards Dongfang Yu, âYuyu, why donât you find a time to accompany Xiaotang to the hospital for a check-up? Be more careful, both of you.â
Dongfang Yu nodded, âI know.â
However, Hai Xiaotang felt a bit disappointed. She had just finished her period a few days ago.
She wasnât pregnantâ¦although she really hoped she was.
Not just her, even He Meilian and others were hopeful.
And so, the conversation was centered around Hai Xiaotangâs future child.
Zhang Yu bluntly stated that it would be better if Hai Xiaotangâs firstborn was a boy, as someone would need to inherit the family estate.
He Meilian, on the other hand, didnât mind whether it was a boy or a girl. She actually hoped for a granddaughter as she didnât have a daughter.
Zhang Yu laughed and said, âIn that case, letâs hope for a pair of boy and girl twins. Two birds with one stone!â
Thinking of the joy of having a granddaughter and grandson at the same time, He Meilian was overjoyed and also expressed her hope for âdragon and phoenixâ twins.
The two women, who usually had nothing in common, had a long conversation because of a child.
Even the men joined in the conversation.
Hai Lan glanced at Hai Xiaotang with a teasing look and joked, âYouâve got a big responsibility. Youâd be letting everyone down if you didnât have twins in one go.â
Hai Xiaotang: ââ¦â
She wished she could, even triplets would not be a problem!
But the problem was, she didnât even have one yet!
Dongfang Yu seemed to understand her feelings. Under the table, he secretly held her hand and whispered in a seductive low voice, âDonât worry. Itâs my responsibility. Iâll endeavour to complete the mission.â
Hai Xiaotang noticed the ambiguity in his eyes. Unable to help blushing, she glared at him with a playful smile, only to be spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhang Yu
âWhat are you two secretly communicating through your expressions? Discussing how many children to have?âHer words were loud and undisguised, drawing everyoneâs attention to them.
