Free Web NovelChapter 1184: Chapter 1186
Wan Qiweng stood at the door staring into the distance, while Wan Yihui was beside her, constantly trying to persuade her.
Although Mom’s condition has been good these days, it’s time for her to give birth, so she can’t act impulsively.
The problem is that Wan Yihui has repeated everything the doctor initially said, but still can’t stop Mom from not listening.
Looking at Mom’s anxious expression, Wan Yihui couldn’t help but recall some gossip he once heard, which claimed that Mom didn’t like Dad.
If those people saw Mom’s current anxious state, they would realize how wildly wrong they were.
"Aunt, have some milk," Gong Jiaxin brought over a glass of warm milk from inside.
Wan Qiweng was really reluctant to drink these. Hadn’t she been supplementing enough lately?
But her words were useless; all the kids at home strictly followed the doctor’s advice, and it didn’t matter that she was an elder here.
Clearly, there were no elders here to suppress her, yet she was being suppressed by these kids.
"Mom, you can’t be willful, you need to drink milk." Gong Jiaxin presented the milk, whether someone drank it or not, someone would step forward.
"Dad will be here soon, I’ll tell him." Wan Yihui always remembered what Great-Grandpa and Dad said, which was not to let Mom be willful.
Initially, Wan Yihui thought they were joking; how could Mom be a willful person? Unexpectedly, she turned out to be quite capricious.
Aaah, how infuriating, Wan Qiweng tapped her son’s forehead in discontent. Her son was just so unlikeable, not soft and endearing at all, and the words he said could aggravate you to death.
But Wan Yihui wasn’t scared, "Mom, it’s for your own good."
"Mom, Uncle Doctor said you need more supplements, I don’t want anything to happen to you." Wan Yihui was really frightened by Mom’s previous bouts of discomfort.
Even though later Mom was fine, and even though his brothers said she was fine, Wan Yihui was truly terrified.
Even now, his face was pale, tightly holding onto Wan Qiweng’s hand.
It was only then that Wan Qiweng noticed how scared her son was, and couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Back then, when she felt unwell, she only cared about her emotions, like resenting Cai Ming, being variously dissatisfied with him.
Even though she knew he had no choice and had to stay back to deal with affairs in the country, she only now understood that her son was the one needing the most worry and care.
"Mom, nothing will happen, don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a little brother." Yes, she’s having another son this time, which makes Wan Qiweng a bit disappointed.
Although Grandpa wanted a son, both she and Cai Ming hoped for a daughter, preferably one as clever and sensible as Ni Zi.
"A brother, huh? I want a sister." Wan Yihui wasn’t too keen on having a brother.
Maybe earlier he opposed his parents having more kids because he was worried about his own status. Now, under Zhao Xuran’s guidance, he no longer has such thoughts; he just wants a cute, soft sister.
Brothers are too annoying, "Mom, I want a sister, will you have more children?"
Having more, well, Wan Qiweng also wasn’t sure. This pregnancy has been truly exhausting for her.
Moreover, giving birth this time has cost her a lot, like completely abandoning her factory.
And the issue of children’s education isn’t an easy matter; it’s all been weighing on her.
Most importantly, the man likely won’t allow her to have another child; although she can’t see Cai Ming’s expression, she can sense his faint regret in his occasional words.
"Have more kids? No." Cai Ming’s face turned displeased upon hearing his son encouraging his mother to have another child.
"Having two sons is enough for me." If he’d known this pregnancy would be so tough, Cai Ming wouldn’t have let his wife go through it again.
Cai Ming doesn’t even remember how he survived those days when his wife felt unwell and was hospitalized.
The worst part is that although his wife’s health isn’t the best, he couldn’t immediately fly to the United States because he had too many affairs to manage.
People say being a boss is the easiest, you can start and finish work whenever you want, but if they really did that, their company would have collapsed ages ago instead of thriving.
"Dad." Wan Yihui was drawn to Cai Ming’s words. He originally wanted to pout to show his dissatisfaction, but long-held feelings of missing his dad surfaced.
"Why did you come so late? Did you know Mom was sick before? I was so scared." He couldn’t cry back then, because it would make Mom cry, but now he really didn’t want to hold back anymore.
"Dad, why did you come so late?" Wan Yihui tried to hold back, but he really couldn’t, and tears started pouring out.
Cai Ming held back from educating his son at this moment, his son must’ve been really scared, and his wife was also glaring at him with a look that said "how dare you scold our son."
"Let’s go inside." Cai Ming picked up his son in one arm and supported his wife with the other, walking into the house, ignoring the bitterly staring Gong Ruini behind him.
Gong Jiaming, being perceptive, came out to help with the luggage, "Ni Zi, what’s wrong with you?"
They were just going to pick someone up, why did Ni Zi look so terrifyingly lifeless?
Gong Jiaming was truly curious about who it was that left Ni Zi so rattled. Knowing her, she usually had control over others, so this was surprising.
No, he had to know who it was, so he could properly express his admiration.
Gong Jiaxin was also startled, wondering what was going on. She looked at Zhao Xuran in confusion, while a still groggy Cai Meina continued to rub her eyes and yawn, unaware of her daughter’s odd demeanor.
"I got set up by Uncle." Gong Ruini was aggrieved; she really hadn’t expected her uncle had no intention of having Zhao Xuran step in.
Thinking of Cai Ming’s earlier announcement, Gong Ruini regretted it; had she known this mess would land on her, she would’ve sincerely suggested getting Zhao Xuran involved.
Though she was reluctant to see her man overworked, she didn’t want to be exhausted either. What if she really didn’t understand? Would she have to start learning from scratch?
Even if Gong Ruini didn’t mind, and was willing to learn more, would Cai Ming’s subordinates be willing to wait for her?
Those individuals were all extraordinary, believing in their own abilities. Would they listen to a little girl’s suggestions?
Gong Ruini really wanted to cry, truly feeling duped by her own uncle, "Family really is there to betray you, now I understand what that means."
Cai Ming tricking Gong Ruini? That seems impossible. Cai Ming has tricked a lot of people, but he wouldn’t deceive family or friends. Gong Ruini was his most cherished junior.
Even if he would trick his son Wan Yihui, he wouldn’t deceive his niece Gong Ruini. What’s going on here? The puzzled looks of Sister Jiaxin and her brother turned to Zhao Xuran.
Even the now somewhat awake Cai Meina looked to Zhao Xuran.
How could her brother trick Gong Ruini? As a sister, Cai Meina didn’t understand, nor could she make sense of it.
