Free Web NovelChapter 368: 191. Nan Huaiyu stood 5 meters away, looking at Nan Wan. His eyes were no longer filled with mischief but were instead soaked with boundless coldness.
"Have you checked the baby’s gender yet?"
It’s been over five months, so it can be checked now. Although the hospital won’t disclose it, the Mu Family can easily apply a little pressure.
When she heard this question, Nan Wan had a moment of blankness in her mind. Her chopsticks paused in her hand, and it took her a while to regain composure.
She answered softly, "No, we haven’t thought about checking."
To her, boy or girl, it’s the same; Mu Huan feels the same way.
This answer seemed to somewhat displease Cheng Shihong, but she didn’t show it explicitly. Perhaps because her granddaughter was present, or maybe for some other reason.
The atmosphere at the dining table changed slightly.
Mu Libei and Mu Jinqian exchanged a look, their eyes filled with helplessness. The latter turned his head towards his daughter in the baby seat and asked with a smile, "Qingqing, do you like a little brother or sister?" ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Like them both!" Mu Qingqing answered excitedly, a grain of rice still stuck to the corner of her mouth, her grape-like eyes blinking curiously and naturally, "Can’t aunty have two?"
Her voice was soft and crisp, full of innocence, instantly bringing a lively vibe to the entire dining room.
Mu Libei laughed heartily, "You’re the smartest one."
The little rosy face proudly raised her chin. She sat on Nan Wan’s right side, her chubby little hand reached over, gently touching Nan Wan’s tummy through the summer clothing.
She struck a pose like a big sister leader, "Be good, when you both wake up, I’ll take you to swing."
Nan Wan was amused by this, her mood improved significantly.
It turns out that children are the simplest and easiest to get along with. Lack of motherly love, perhaps only someone as gentle as jade like Mu Jinqian could raise such a bright daughter.
Seeing the topic change, Cheng Shirong wanted to say something but saw her husband shake his head at her. She swallowed her words, glanced at the smiling Nan Wan across from her, and continued to eat dinner elegantly as usual.
...
After dinner, Mu Jinqian avoided his parents and said to Nan Wan, "It’s been too long; personality has become a habit. Mom means no harm, please bear with it a bit."
The Mu Family doesn’t have the problem of favoring boys over girls or the opposite.
Nan Wan smiled, "You’re too kind, I haven’t given it much thought."
She didn’t want to disturb Shen Zhimei and the third brother’s alone time. To reassure Mr. Mu, she could only stay here.
It’s not like they’re saying harsh words to her; there’s nothing to mind.
A servant took Nan Wan upstairs to rest, the same room she slept in on New Year’s Eve. The difference is, this time, she’s alone.
Perhaps because it was still early, or maybe because of the relatively unfamiliar environment and the bed, after washing up, she lay on the bed for a long time, tossing and turning but couldn’t fall asleep.
She tapped the screen open, found nothing, closed it again, and tried to sleep with her eyes closed. After a while, she opened the phone screen again and still found nothing.
When connected, it was Nan Wan’s third call.
The phone on the plane would be off, but she still asked, "Have you arrived yet?"
"Yeah, just landed," Mu Jinhuan strode through the airport passage, his assistant trailing with the suitcase, "What did you have for dinner?"
The bedroom lights were on, and the curtains were only half-closed. Nan Wan lay sideways, able to faintly see a star in the distant sky.
It had only been more than three hours. Usually, when he goes to the company, she doesn’t see him all day and doesn’t have this feeling...
Feeling secretly frustrated with herself for being useless, she began mumbling nonsense, "When you’re not here, your family abuses me. The main dish was cabbage stewed with radish, and the side dish was chili fried potatoes."
Mu Jinhuan certainly understood her little thoughts, his previously cold and indifferent features showing traces of a smile, "Hmm, if you describe yourself as miserable enough, I might just have Liu An bring you over."
No way, don’t even think about it.
Nan Wan cooperatively sneered, "You’re just brushing me off."
Won’t let her go to the airport, would have Liu An take her to An City?
"Turns out ’pregnancy makes one silly for three years’ isn’t always applicable," Mu Jinhuan chuckled, stopping by the car and raising his other hand to check the time, "It’s almost twelve o’clock, even if you can’t sleep, close your eyes."
The assistant following behind him stepped forward to pull open the car’s back seat door. After he got in, they went around to the trunk, put the luggage in place, then quickly got into the front passenger seat, reporting the Gu Mansion address to the driver.
Nan Wan didn’t catch his earlier words because she had turned over, her body heavier than before, making even such movements leave her breathless.
