“Pfft.”
Yun Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled. “I’ve told you, she can’t hear you now. What are you muttering to yourself for?”
“What if she can?” He raised his eyebrows in disagreement, and emphasized again, “There’s telepathy between father and daughter!”
“Alright, telepathy.”
She agreed mockingly.
As he gently caressed her belly, he fantasized, “How would our daughter look, if she were to resemble you?”
Forgiving his limited imagination, the faces he imagined were either shrunken versions of Yun Shishi’s or female versions of Youyou’s and Little Yichen’s faces. There was a strange sense of violation about it.
When Yun Shishi heard about this, she said, “I heard that daughters will look more like fathers.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
“Of course! Haven’t you heard so?”
Yun Shishi said with a straight face, “It’s been said that sons take after their mothers, while daughters take after their fathers! See how much Youyou resembles me? It’s also said that sons are closer to their mothers, but daughters are closer to their fathers!”
Mu Yazhe scrutinized her face and nodded. “Youyou and Yichen do resemble you indeed! They have delicate features, especially their eyebrows.”
After a pause, he said confidently, “Then my daughter will definitely be a beautiful lady when she grows up.”
She broke into laughter. “Narcissist! Why are you so narcissistic?”
“It’s a fact,” he said solemnly.
“That our daughter will resemble you? I can’t imagine.”
Yun Shishi’s mind drew a blank. She could not come up with an image.
Mu Yazhe’s started to fantasize.
He was running out of imagination. In his mind, the face of a little baby girl was wearing his facial features. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed grotesque!
He was suddenly taken aback by one of the faces he imagined.
“She’ll probably be very pretty.” He felt a little guilty, wondering how his daughter would really look if she were to inherit his features.
Yun Shishi thought for a while before she said unhurriedly, “If the child is a daughter, she’d definitely be very pretty if she had your eyes and your nose.”
“Mmm…”
“Actually…” Yun Shishi pondered for a moment before suddenly breaking into a smile that was filled with a mother’s gentleness. “I too, hope that it’s going to be a girl!”
“Mm? You want a daughter too?”
“Of course!” Yun Shishi said matter-of-factly. “Everyone says that daughters are sweet and caring!”
“Youyou and Little Yichen will feel most aggrieved if they were to hear this!” Mu Yazhe’s heart went out to the two little boys for a moment.
“If it’s really a daughter, I’ll definitely prepare a huge cloakroom for her! I’ll buy her many beautiful princess dresses from the time she’s a kid… Pink, white, and black… I’ll dress her up like a little princess!”
The man disagreed. “What do you mean by dressing her up like one? My daughter will be born a princess!”
“…” The corners of Yun Shishi’s lips twitched. “Yes, yes, she’ll be born a princess, Your Majesty!”
“It’s the tenth week now.”
Ignoring her amusement, Mu Yazhe drew her into his embrace. He gently kissed her forehead and said with great anticipation, “In other words, in two weeks, it will be three months. In another six months, she will arrive into this world! I must prepare to welcome her.”
“How are you going to prepare?”
Yun Shishi asked curiously.
He said with a serious expression, “It’s time to prepare the nursery!”
“Nursery?”
