749 A Million Times for You 111 (1/2)
Cupping her face in her hands, An Xiaoning added, ”That's how the karmic cycle has always been.”
”If the children we had didn't end up being miscarried, would you have given birth to all of them?”
She answered firmly, ”Yes. Since I was impregnated, I would definitely give birth to them. I had been through four pregnancies and yet I only managed to give birth to Yiheng. With this ruined and damaged body of mine, I probably won't be able to bear any more children for the rest of my life.”
Jin Qingyan grabbed her hand and said, ”I'll ask Auntie Chen to cook you more nutritious food and tonic for you to nourish your health. Your body is frail and you must nurse your body back to health while you're still young.”
”Thank you for your tender affection, Mr. Jin.”
”I don't like hearing you call me that. It sounds too formal and distant,” said Jin Qingyan, poking her forehead with his finger.
”What do you like hearing then?”
”Call me Hubby.”
An Xiaoning turned to lie flat on her back and broke eye contact with him. ”Something else.”

An Xiaoning rested her chin on her arm and asked, ”What?”
”Good girl.”
”…”
”Okay, it's settled then,” he added.
Did I agree to it? An Xiaoning thought in her head.
He handed his mobile phone to her and said, ”Here.”
”What are you giving me this for?”
”Record something with your voice and make it my alarm. Anything will do. That way, I'll be able to hear your voice every morning.”
An Xiaoning opened the voice recording app and began singing into the microphone after some thought, ”Wake up, Piggy, stop sleeping. It's getting late, time to rise and shine. You're almost running late. Hurry and wake up. Put on your clothes, brush your teeth, wash your face, and have your breakfast. Rise and shine, Piggy, the sun is out. Oh, the air is so fresh outside…”
