Chapter 598 - 598: The Responsibility of the Heir

“It seems that I’m not a good mother. I don’t even know my children,” Jiang An said with her eyes lowered.

She had always thought that she was busy with work and would sometimes neglect the children. As time passed, this guilt increased. Mo Shen’s words just now had completely evoked her sadness.

Mo Shen stepped forward and said, “No, you’ve never been a bad mother. Before you became a mother, you were an independent person. There’s no reason for you to give up your job after becoming a mother. Do you think girls should lose themselves after getting married and having children?”

Jiang An looked at Mo Shen. “I know. Of course, I’m an independent individual, but I really don’t want the children to think that Mom doesn’t care about them at all.”

“Children are the most sensitive. Of course, they can sense your love. This is enough for them. Are you going to give up everything you have and do nothing but accompany them every day?” Mo Shen asked.

Of course not. Jiang An would never give up the job she loved.

“I shouldn’t think that way. Zou Bai always leaves the children as well. As a father, he has the same responsibility to take care of the children. The two of us have to discuss and try our best to break up our working hours.” Jiang An finally realized where the problem lay.

Mo Shen smiled when he heard that. That was what he meant just now.

The children were not Jiang An’s responsibility alone. Since Zou Bai had appeared and was willing to become the children’s father, he had his responsibilities. He could not leave the children to An’an to take care of alone.

After Jiang An made up her mind, she no longer felt guilty. She played with the two children for the entire morning and only sat down to rest after lunch.

Mo Shen was also a little tired. His body still hadn’t recovered to its normal level.

Jiang An was a little worried about him. “Brother Mo Shen, when will you become healthy?”

“Just a little longer.” Mo Shen smiled. “I’ve been unconscious for too long. My bodily functions were reduced to the lowest. Although I’ve woken up , my body hasn’t adapted yet. I’ll be fine after I’ve completely adapted.”

Jiang An’s expression didn’t change after hearing that. In her impression, Mo Shen had always been sick and weak. When they met when they were young, his face was always pale, as if he would faint in the next second.

Although it was better now, it was still very worrying.

Mo Shen reached out to touch her head. “Alright, I won’t lie to you. I’m my father’s only child now. Everyone in the Mo Family treats me like a Giant Panda. They send the best herbs and doctors to me. I’m really fine.”

“Previously, they were still urging you to get married. They clearly wanted you to have a child quickly,” Jiang An said with a pout.

In front of Mo Shen, she always acted like a spoiled child subconsciously. It seemed like she was still the little girl squatting by the roadside when she was young.

Mo Shen sighed. “Even if I’m healthy now, they’ll still urge me to get married. After all, to them, the more children the better. They have never thought that having more children would be troublesome.”

“Are you worried that your children will be naughty in the future?” Jiang An asked.

“It doesn’t matter if my children are mischievous. It’s fine as long as they’re healthy and happy.” Mo Shen’s expression became solemn. “But the family will make this child the heir, so he carries the hope of the entire family. If this child doesn’t have any talent in medicine and isn’t a person who can take responsibility, the consequences will be too serious.”

This was indeed a huge problem. After all, no one could determine the personality of the child they gave birth to. Many families in history had disappeared because of this.

Jiang An said hesitantly, “Then, does Older Brother not want to have children?”

Mo Shen revealed a smile. “Isn’t that good? I can choose a suitable child to be the head of the family and bring him along to nurture him. This is much safer than giving birth to my own child.”

Actually, Mo Shen’s idea wasn’t wrong. If he didn’t have children, then there would be a lot of room for selection. At the very least, they could guarantee the qualifications of the next heir. They wouldn’t bet on what a child that hadn’t been born would be like.

Jiang An had never thought that getting married and having children was necessary. As long as Mo Shen made up his mind, she would support him. The most important thing in life was to be happy.

“Then have you and Miss Zhao broken off the engagement?” Jiang An suddenly thought of Zhao Lan.

Speaking of this, Mo Shen had a headache. “I’ve officially asked the Zhao family to break off the engagement, and I’m willing to admit that it was because of me. This way, it won’t affect Zhao Lan’s reputation, but the Zhao family won’t give me a reply..”
