Chapter 663: Suspicion 1 (2/2)
Waiting until the pregnancy was stable before announcing it would be the best course of action.
Senior Servant nodded upon understanding the circumstances. She bobbed once again towards Chu Lian and He Changdi, before quietly retreating out of the room to manage the other maidservants.
Once Senior Servant Zhong left, He Changdi strode over to Chu Lian’s side.
He reached out with his powerful arms and slid them under her knees and back. He lifted her from the chaise in a princess carry, then settled onto the chaise with her on top.
He Changdi placed one hand on Chu Lian’s shoulders, while the other was placed gently on her belly.
His tone was filled with a soft warmth.
“Lian’er, we’re going to have a child.”
Chu Lian was equally happy. She had been waiting for this little bean’s arrival for a few months!
“Hubby, would you like a boy or a girl?”
Chu Lian raised her head to stare into He Changdi’s soft gaze.
He Changdi bent his body over slightly to place a kiss on her smooth forehead, “A daughter. It would be best if she looks like you, she’ll definitely be very cute.”
Chu Lian puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, “You’re just saying that to make me happy, right? Eldest Brother only has Little An and Little Lin, and Second Brother hasn’t gotten married yet. It’s not just Grandmother, but even Father and Mother are probably waiting for me to give birth to a boy!”
He Changdi stiffened up, he hadn’t expected Chu Lian to respond this way.
He thought back to what Great Doctor Miao had told him in private. The doctor had mentioned that pregnant women were more susceptible to changes in mood as well as emotions, and that he had to be more understanding and forgiving of his wife.
His brows relaxed and he stroked Chu Lian’s silky hair with one hand.
Actually, He Changdi had truly been speaking his mind. He did want a daughter for his first child.
When he thought of having a mini Chu Lian running around, his heart immediately melted into a puddle of mush.
“Whether it’s a boy or a girl, they’ll be our child, I’ll treat them the same.”
If the future little bun were to find out what his father had said today, he would definitely burst into tears and question his father.
A satisfied smile surfaced on Chu Lian’s face after getting He Changdi’s answer.
She was a modern person at heart and she didn’t favour any gender in particular. No matter which gender their child belonged to, she would still guide and protect them the same.
Furthermore, it wasn’t up to her whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl. If it didn’t turn out to be a boy, then it was He Changdi’s problem.
