Chapter 718: Mom, So Do You Want a Boy or Girl?
“Mom, don’t you worry. I have Ah Jing and Yunxiao protecting me and there are also robots here. Those people can’t even appear in front of me.”
How could Mrs. Lu be at ease? She got even more worried. “Why don’t you come back first? Let Jingye and Yunxiao settle the problems.”
“No~” Zi Yi acted spoiled. “I want to stay with Ah Jing.”
Mrs. Lu was softened by Zi Yi’s display of cuteness and she deliberately teased her. “You’re someone who’s about to be a mother, how can you still be so clingy.”
Zi Yi smiled. “I will still cling to Ah Jing even after I become a mother.”
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, “Haha, alright, alright. I’ll take care of your babies for you and you can cling onto him however you like.”
Speaking of which, she asked excitedly. “Are you able to check if it’s a boy or girl at this stage? So that I can start preparing now… let me count. You will most likely be giving birth in August and the weather will be warm by then. I’ll prepare some summer clothes for the baby.”
Speaking of this, she changed her tune. “Forget it, don’t tell me if it’s a boy or girl. I’ll be able to look forward to the baby’s birth regardless. Be it a boy or a girl, I like them both. I’ll prepare clothes for both genders and let the baby wear them after it’s born.”
Zi Yi listened to Mrs. Lu chattering on and on and the smile on her lips had not disappeared at all.
Mrs. Lu was also the same. She even said, “I’ll inform your grandfather and your family of this good news later. They will definitely be extremely happy.
“Oh, I still have to prepare quilts and a crib for the baby.”
Zi Yi waited for Mrs. Lu to finish talking before she suddenly asked, “Mom, so do you want a boy or girl?”
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, “Didn’t I say I like them both? Our family doesn’t discriminate.”
“Hehe. In that case, I’ll have one of each. Would it be too troublesome for you to take care of them?”
Mrs. Lu smiled even brighter than before. “If that’s really the case, I’ll be even happier! There’s nothing I can’t handle.”
Speaking of this, she added. “I’ll go and sign up for a training class later and ensure that both babies will be well taken care of.”
She suddenly thought of something and said, “However, our family doesn’t have a history of twins being born. Would you be able to be pregnant with twins and not to mention, a boy and a girl?”
“Yes. I’ll just change the genes.”
This type of thing was extremely easy for Zi Yi.
Mrs. Lu became even happier.
Just as they were about to continue chatting, Shadow came in just then and said, “Master, someone outside is asking to meet with you and your husband. They said that they are here to send gifts to both of you.”
Before Zi Yi had the chance to speak, Mrs. Lu expressed her displeasure. “The gifts sent by those people there are definitely not simple. Yiyi, you should just stop such people at the door and ignore them.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “We don’t entertain them. There were many who came with gifts and we got people to stop them outside the door.”
However, she still ended up asking Shadow, “What did they send?”
“Two women.”
Zi Yi: “…”
Mrs. Lu got even angrier. “These people are too much. How dare they send women to my son?!”
Zi Yi hastily appeased Mrs. Lu. “Mom, don’t be angry. Ah Jing won’t like those women anyways.”
Just then, Shadow added. “And two men.”
Zi Yi: “…”
Mrs. Lu: “…”
Just then, Lu Jingye, who was supposedly cooking in the kitchen, appeared at the door with a spatula in hand. He faced Shadow with a calm expression and said, “Send them packing right away.”
Having said that, he returned to the kitchen.
Zi Yi and Mrs. Lu looked at each other across the screen.
Subsequently, Mrs. Lu smiled. “Don’t tell me this child has been listening to our conversation all along?”
Zi Yi tilted her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen and said to Mrs. Lu, “I’m not far away from the kitchen.”
Therefore, it was normal that Lu Jingye could hear their conversation.
Mrs. Lu thought of how her son was jealous earlier and she burst out laughing.
After she had a great laugh, she asked, “Where’s Yunxiao? Is he with the two of you?”
“He’s here, but he went out just moments ago.”
Zi Yi said she wanted to eat some fresh fruit and it just so happened that Lu Yunxiao had something to do outside, and so he said he would bring some back for her.
Mrs. Lu waited for Lu Jingye to finish cooking and told him some things to take care of before turning off the video call.
Zi Yi turned her head and looked at Lu Jingye with a smile on her face as they sat at the table.
Lu Jingye scooped a bowl of soup for her and lectured her. “In the future, if anyone sends men or women over, throw them out without any hesitation. You’re not allowed to be curious about them.”
Zi Yi was indeed curious. If not for the fact that she was having a video call with Mom, she would have definitely gone out to take a look.
Zi Yi pretended not to hear him even though her intentions had been exposed. She scooped up the soup and drank it slowly.
In the next second, a large palm covered her head and rubbed her hair. “Naughty girl.”
“Hehe.”
Lu Yunxiao only came back after they finished their meal. He was carrying a bag of fruit that seemed to have just been harvested from the tree.
Lu Jingye took the bag and said, “I left some dishes for you in the kitchen. After you’re done, I have something to discuss with you.”
Lu Yunxiao nodded his head. He headed to the kitchen, ate everything in two to three mouthfuls and came out.
Zi Yi was rather tired at this time, and so she leaned her head on Lu Jingye’s shoulders.
Lu Jingye hugged her and said, “Go to bed and sleep if you’re tired.”
“I want to eat some fruit before I sleep.”
Lu Jingye took a fruit and peeled the skin off for her.
Lu Yunxiao walked over and sat on the opposite sofa.
The two brothers started discussing the matters of visiting Long Aotian tomorrow.
Zi Yi was originally listening to their conversation seriously.
However, she slowly fell asleep.
The moment Lu Jingye sensed her breathing turning sluggish, he motioned for Lu Yunxiao to hold on. He then carried Zi Yi in a princess carry and sent her upstairs.
…
On the other side.
Lu Jingye had arranged for He Fei to stay in another hotel.
He Fei was in a semi-conscious state. However, as he had something on his mind, he wanted to regain full consciousness soon. At the same time, he wanted to inform Ouyang Ming of what he knew.
While he waited for ages and was about to lose his patience, Ouyang Ming finally came.
He had disguised as a hotel cleaner and snuck in.
When He Fei sensed someone in the room, he opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Ouyang Ming, who was wearing the hotel’s uniform and wearing a mask, he was surprised. “Ah Ming, you…”
“Shhh, don’t speak.” Ouyang Ming quickly came to the bedside and said, “I came here secretly. Ah He, I’ll just tell you a few things and so listen clearly.”
He Fei saw Ouyang Ming’s serious expression and nodded.
Ouyang Ming said, “Long Aotian will be inviting Lu Jingye and Zi Yi to his place for a meal. Do you know how much preparation Long Aotian did? They will definitely be able to take care of him this time.”
The moment He Fei heard Ouyang Ming’s words, he suddenly felt anxious. However, he was unable to speak easily nor was he able to move and so he only ended up saying, “Don’t let them go!”
Ouyang Ming misunderstood what he meant and thought that He Fei wanted to personally avenge his father’s death. “We can’t take care of Lu Jingye at all. Why shouldn’t we grasp such a good opportunity?”
“That’s not it… cough cough…” He Fei was too anxious and he started coughing. His eyes also started to roll backwards in their sockets.
