In the middle of speaking, Gu Yusheng paused for a while, then turned around to look at Qin Zhiâai, asking, âWhich one would you prefer, a boy or a girl?â
Not waiting for Qin Zhiâai to answer his question, Gu Yusheng expressed his own opinion. âI would prefer a girl.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGirls are more well-behaved, sensible, and considerate. When they grow up, theyâre also less worrisome⦠not like boys. Boys are so rebellious that their parents canât control them, and parents will worry also about them fighting, which could be big trouble⦠But girls could also be more worrying if Iâm afraid that sheâll be bullied or played by bad boys.
âBut it doesnât matter⦠Iâll protect our daughter so that she wonât be bullied by anyone. Sheâll be born a little princessâ¦
âIâll build a nursery, a toy room, a painting room, a music room in the empty room with a piano on the third floor⦠Um⦠if sheâs interested in dancing, a dance studio will be necessaryâ¦â
Listening to Gu Yushengâs words, Qin Zhhiâaiâs mind immediately flashed to pictures of what he described.
The child hasnât even been born yet, but he has thought about the things that will happen after theyâre born. Does this mean that he really loves children?
He kept saying âwe,â a beautiful word, but when she heard that word, she could only feel hurt, because, the âweâ in his mouth referred to Gu Yusheng and Liang Doukou; he had no relationship with Qin Zhiâai. Even the children he was imagining now would be from Liang Doukou, not Qin Zhiâai.
âThereâs an open space behind our villa. Iâve decided⦠If we really have a daughter, Iâd ask someone to build a castle there to for her to play inâ¦â
Gu Yusheng was still talking, while Qin Zhiâai didnât want to listen to him. When Gu Yusheng finished what he was saying and was finally silent, she attempted to change the topic. However, Gu Yusheng tilted his head slightly, and she asked her again before she spoke, âHow about you? Do you want our children to be boys or girls?â
Our children⦠Heâs only imagining a child from Liang Doukou that isnât even real, so am I self-willed and selfish enough to change his vision into Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhiâai?
Just let it be a dream that I deluded myself into believing. Anyway, there will be no such opportunities in the future.
Holding her silence for a little while, Qin Zhiâai raised her head and smiled at Gu Yusheng softly, answering his question, âI hope we could have a boy.â
A boy who looks like youâ¦
âBoys donât suffer losses easily. When he grows up, he can protect me⦠More importantly, if you want two children, I donât want the first one to be an older sister, because I want to have a daughter who will get not only the protection of her father, but also the protection of her brotherâ¦â
In Qin Zhiâaiâs heart, she was fantasizing several scenes of her and Gu Yusheng with children. She thought she could say it all in a relaxed tone, but she had just said few words when she couldnât continue with anything more.
She was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions if she continued, so she pretended to have finished speaking and stopped there.
âWell, if we have two children, it seems like a pretty good ideaâ¦â Gu Yusheng imagined a future so beautiful that he thought it had to become a reality. With curved eyebrows, he led her forward in silence for a little while. Thinking that she hadnât promised to have a child with him yet, he urged again, âSo, little troublemaker? Weâre ready to have children, right?â
