Chapter 61: He Wants to Have Two Children with Her

Xie’s mother’s parents had only two daughters, Xie’s mother and her sister. After Xie’s mother was born, her mother fell ill and lost her ability to have children.

As a result, her parents were often ridiculed by the villagers. Her mother was even mocked by her grandmother.

However, her father was very open-minded and didn’t mind that his wife couldn’t give him a son. He comforted his wife, saying that not having a son wasn’t a big deal, and he was very kind to Xie’s mother and her sister.

Growing up in such an environment, Xie’s mother naturally wouldn’t favor sons over daughters.

Of course, even though she didn’t favor sons over daughters, witnessing her parents being ridiculed and mocked by the villagers, and even the ugly faces of her cousins who wanted to eat them out of house and home, she actually felt deep down that having a son would be best.

It would cause a lot less trouble.

Of course, Xie’s mother wouldn’t say such things to Lin Xiangyi, for fear of putting pressure on her.

And Aunt Xie also saw what Lin Xiangyi was thinking. She smiled and said, “Xiangyi, you don’t have to feel pressured. Your mother is probably the most open-minded person in the village. She’ll love both grandsons and granddaughters. Didn’t your elder sister-in-law give her a granddaughter? She treasures her like anything. She always says to give the little girl the best things to eat. It’s just your elder sister-in-law…”

“Cough!” Xie’s mother coughed lightly.

Lin Xiangyi looked at Xie’s mother. It seemed like there was a conflict between Xie’s mother and her elder sister-in-law?

Speaking of which, she hadn’t met her elder sister-in-law yet. m was a teacher. When she married Xie Qingxiao, it was just before the end-of-term exams, so she didn’t come back.

“Anyway, whether you have a boy or a girl, your mother will love them,” Aunt Xie understood Xie’s mother’s intention not to let her talk about these messy things with Lin Xiangyi, so she didn’t say anything more.

“Okay,” Lin Xiangyi felt relieved. As long as it wasn’t a must-have boy, it was fine.

She didn’t know whether she was carrying a boy or a girl, but she didn’t want to have a falling out with Xie’s mother just because she gave birth to a girl.

“We’re back! What are you guys talking about?” Zhang Pengfei’s voice came from outside.

He and Xie Qingxiao had returned with their goods.

“We were talking about children,” Aunt Xie laughed, and looked at Xie Qingxiao with a teasing expression. “Your wife said you guys are planning to have children. She even asked your mother if she prefers grandsons or granddaughters.”

???

Xie Qingxiao looked at Lin Xiangyi in surprise. She hadn’t even given him a child yet, and she was telling others they were planning to have one? How did she come up with such a lie?

Lin Xiangyi wanted to roll her eyes at him.

Was this man suffering from amnesia? Although she hadn’t given him a child yet, they had done it once! Or was he underestimating his own abilities? Did he think he couldn’t hit the bullseye in one shot?

But how could he think his… technique was so amazing?

Lin Xiangyi found it both amusing and irritating.

Little did she know, during their first time, Xie Qingxiao, amidst his infatuation, still retained a sliver of rationality. He knew they hadn’t established a formal relationship yet, and if she got pregnant before marriage, her reputation would be ruined. So, he didn’t go all the way inside her.

Three days after the incident, Lin Xiangyi came to tell him she was pregnant. He found it absurd and unbelievable, not only because the time was too short, but also because of this reason.

He didn’t even know he was that good. It was an accident, a little something he left behind… that made her pregnant.

Lin Xiangyi went back to her room to change clothes and prepare for work.

She would wear decent and nice clothes when she went out, but when she worked at home, she usually changed into old clothes.

Twenty seconds later, Xie Qingxiao, who had helped carry the goods to the water tank, also walked in.

He followed Lin Xiangyi back to the room!

Aunt Xie and Xie’s mother exchanged smiles and whispered, “This young couple is so lovey-dovey!”

Zhang Pengfei, hearing this, said, “It’s not just lovey-dovey. Brother Xiao’s eyes are almost glued to Sister-in-law! Every time I walk with them, I feel like I shouldn’t be there. I should dig a hole and hide, so I don’t disturb them.”

“Hahaha,” Xie Fu, Xie’s mother, and Aunt Xie laughed.

“Then Pengfei, why don’t you find yourself a partner? They’re lovey-dovey, and you guys can be lovey-dovey too,” Xie’s mother said.

“No, no, no,” Zhang Pengfei quickly waved his hands. “I have nothing now, not even a home. If I dated someone, what could I give her?”

Xie’s mother and Aunt Xie felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. They looked at Zhang Pengfei, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

Zhang Pengfei knew what they wanted to say. He waved his hand and said, “Aunt Xie, Aunt Xie, I’m fine. I’m doing okay on my own.”

Xie’s mother and Aunt Xie understood that Zhang Pengfei was politely refusing to answer their questions about his family. They sighed and didn’t ask further.

Inside the room, Lin Xiangyi was changing clothes when the door suddenly opened. She jumped in surprise and quickly covered herself with her clothes.

Turning to see Xie Qingxiao, she breathed a sigh of relief and mumbled, “What are you doing here?” Then she turned her back and started putting on her clothes, leaving a bare back for Xie Qingxiao.

“I came to see you,” Xie Qingxiao said, his eyes darkening as he looked at her slender, white back.

“What’s there to see? You see me every day, haven’t you seen enough?” Lin Xiangyi put on her clothes and turned around. Seeing Xie Qingxiao’s expression, she said with a touch of irritation, “Don’t even think about it in broad daylight.”

Xie Qingxiao chuckled. “Don’t worry, I won’t torture myself during the day.”

Because thinking about it was useless. This woman with a heart of stone wouldn’t even give him a chance at night, let alone during the day.

“You told your mother and the others that we’re planning to have children?” Xie Qingxiao asked.

Lin Xiangyi knew he wouldn’t believe her, so she didn’t bother explaining. After changing her clothes, she walked over and said, “They just asked, so I went along with it.”

Xie Qingxiao understood. So that was it.

Lin Xiangyi looked at him and became a little interested. “Speaking of which, do you prefer a son or a daughter?”

She didn’t want to end up in a situation where her mother-in-law didn’t favor sons over daughters, but the man did.

Fortunately, Xie Qingxiao said, “Either a son or a daughter is fine!”

As long as you give birth to one.

Lin Xiangyi smiled. Okay, whether it was true or not, at least this man knew how to sweet-talk her.

“However,” Xie Qingxiao looked at her smile and said, “We’ll wait a couple of years before having children, okay?”

Lin Xiangyi: “…” Why couldn’t he be more impatient? She already had one in her belly.

She was about to ask why, but then she saw him looking at her with a smile. She suddenly had a revelation. With this man’s enthusiasm for that kind of thing, could it be that he wanted to spend two years as husband and wife?

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
