"Hey, madam, you are here. Lunch is ready. Do you want to go eat now?"
She nodded with a smile, "Yeah, let's go." After hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "Mother Su... when was this nursery decorated?"
When Mother Su saw her asking, she hurriedly replied, "Madam, the eldest son arranged these himself. He doesn't let others touch them, and he doesn't even allow us to go in to clean them... In the past month, you It seems like you have a conflict with the eldest son... Usually, when you ignore him or hide in the study, he will do this."
Even so, there was no reason why she never encountered him even once, and no one told her.
Wen Yi pursed her lips before asking again, "How come I don't know anything about it and he doesn't allow you to tell me?"
Prepare for a surprise
Mother Su nodded repeatedly, a little embarrassed, but she still said in a complicated tone, "The eldest son said... let you know, or we tell you specifically... you will definitely think that he is putting on a show to please you, which will only have the opposite effect. He He also said...even if you come in one day and see it and ask about it, you will still have to tell you that he hired a designer to do it."
Mother Su had always wished them well. Seeing their recent cold war, she naturally wanted to help Mo Shichen.
“…”
Is there any
Wen Yi thought about it carefully, oh, it really does exist.
Because she hasn't paid much attention to him recently, even if she knew about it, she would feel that this kind of thing was not in line with his natural style and was probably just for show.
Does she really have a little bit of prejudice against him
Is this child himself something he expects? More than just a means and a bargaining chip
This realization brought a touch of warmth to her heart.
The reason why she was so angry about the engineered pregnancy was not only because of the past reasons and the belief that he didn't care about her feelings, but also because she felt that he could use his own child to achieve a purpose. He was too cold and even inhumane in his bones.
Wen Yi curved her lips and smiled, "I understand, let's go down and eat."
… …
At noon, Wen Yi sat in the chair beside the hospital bed, watching the man eating elegantly, and suddenly said, "Do you like a son or a daughter?"
Mo Shichen paused and immediately looked up at her, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Don't blame him for being surprised. This was the first time since the child was conceived that she took the initiative to discuss the topic of the child with him in a natural and normal tone. After a brief silence, he quickly replied hoarsely, "Daughter."
She wasn't surprised, but she still asked, "Why?"
"Easy to take care of."
"...Isn't it easier to raise a daughter than a son?"
"If it's a son, I have to put in the effort to train him as an heir. Where can I raise him?"
“…”
"Do you want Mo Shiqian's son to be your heir?" I can't see how generous and non-possessive he is.
He took a sip of the soup and said calmly, "If I have a son, of course my son will inherit it."
It took Wen Yi a while to figure out his logic.
He was originally the only heir raised by the Lawrence family since childhood, so if he and Mo Shiqian both had sons, it would be his son who would inherit.
But he's... lazy? So I hope that if I can’t give birth to a son, I won’t have to work hard
What a honey brain circuit.
Wen Yihuan then asked impromptuly, "What if your daughter wants to be a strong woman in the shopping mall?"
He said calmly, "Okay."
She cupped her chin and said, "Then it seems that it is better to be a daughter. If you want to be free, you can be free. If you want to achieve great things, you can have a chance. Unlike a son, you can only be bound to death."
"Well, that's right."
She asked with great interest, "Are you only planning to have one child?"
Mo Shichen paused in drinking the soup again. He raised his dark eyes and looked at her for a long time. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and he said in a low voice and slowly, "If you want to have children, of course I will support them." I can afford it.”
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that this question had brought her in. Her eyes met the man's, and his thick and dark eyes made her unable to resist for a moment, and she subconsciously looked away.
The man's low voice followed, "However, think about the limit of two people. It takes a year to conceive a child, and it takes a lot of energy to take care of the baby after giving birth. I still prefer the world of two - "
After he finished speaking, he asked flatly, "I don't like my children taking up too much of your and my time. Do you think I'm selfish again?"
“…”
Wen Yi raised her head and was about to meet his gaze, which was staring at her closely. She suddenly felt that the tone of his question just now not only did not sound like a joke, but also had a hint of self-deprecation in it, and he kept looking at her. , as if observing all her reactions.
She asked gently, "Honestly, do you like children?"
He answered without asking, "Does it mean that in your heart, apart from functional needs, I don't need children at all emotionally?"
Wen Yi didn't know how to answer. In her heart, he was indeed not someone who looked forward to having children. Of course, she didn't think he was disgusted or didn't care at all.
She thought about it for a while and said, "I don't doubt that you can be a qualified father."
“…”
Mo Shichen curled his lips, expressing more self-deprecation, and suddenly discovered that he could define himself as selfish and didn't care if anyone said he was selfish, but that person was Wen Yi, and he couldn't even bear it.
"I admit that I had other purposes in designing you to conceive this child, but Wen Yi, he is your and my child, and I will love him from the beginning of his existence, and in the past thirty years, no matter what For whatever reason, I just want to have children with you."
After those calm words fell, the ward became quiet.
Mo Shichen did not continue to look at her, look at her expression or her reaction, but lowered his head and continued to drink the soup slowly.
It took a long time until Wen Yi broke the silence, "I saw the baby's room."
"Oh," he still lowered his eyes lightly, "do you like the designer's style?"
“…”
Wen Yi wanted to laugh, but she still held it back and said lightly, "I hope it is really a daughter, otherwise it will be a waste."
He moved again and again, but these subtle movements lasted only a few seconds, and there was no big abnormality.
He didn't want her to know, but she really didn't know that he was a little disappointed.
