Although she felt that Baby Chu would not bully his younger siblings or hate them, she still had such concerns. She was worried that Baby Chu would feel aggrieved if her energy was diverted by younger siblings.
“Why are you worried about that?” Gu Jinglian did not think much of it. “If he doesn’t accept it, just give him a beating.”
“…”
What a violent solution.
The man continued, “Get in the car. We’ll talk when we get home.”
As soon as he turned around, a warm smile appeared on his face. He could no longer suppress the happiness he was feeling. He didn’t know when it started, but compared to before, when he hated children the moment he saw them, he now actually had great anticipation for, and looked forward to the two children.
One time, when he was waiting at a red light, he saw a man passing by with a cute little girl on his shoulder. The father held his daughter’s hands and was laughing along the way. He actually felt a little envious.
It was a heartwarming scene and actually stoked a yearning within him.
People say that daughters take after their fathers and sons take after their mothers.
He wondered if his daughter would take after him?
Gu Jinglian’s thoughts started to drift. He imagined the day when Chu He would give birth seven months later. He imagined how the nurse would carefully place a baby girl in his arms…
His mood at that point would be as splendid as fireworks, wouldn’t it? In fact, even before the babies were born, Gu Jinglian had already unreservedly placed his focus on his daughter. In the future, when Chu He would deliver the pair of twins, the other one would probably be crying miserably. Having a father who favored daughters, where would the other child turn to for some comfort? This “share” of the father’s attention and doting was already decided before they were born.
How would Chu He know what Gu Jinglian was thinking?
By the time the two of them returned to the Gu family residence, Baby Chu had just come home from school. Knowing this, he sent Butler Fu to call Baby Chu into the study.
Chu He wanted to join them in the room, however Butler Fu stopped her at the door, and told her that Gu Jinglian had something to discuss with Baby Chu.
In the study, Gu Jinglian held Baby Chu in his arms and asked him a serious question.
“Baby Chu, do you want a younger brother?”
Baby Chu looked puzzled for a moment. “No.”
“What about a little sister?”
“No.” The boy replied earnestly, “I already have an older brother!”
Gu Jinglian glared at him “gently” and “kindly”. “Now, your mother is pregnant with two babies. Whether you like them or not, you are not allowed to bully your little sister in the future, understand?”
“…”
Baby Chu’s eyelids twitched. “Daddy, why didn’t you tell me not to bully Little Brother?”
“You may bully your little brother however you want.”
“…”
His own father.
What a father.
Baby Chu punched the air with his fist and suddenly understood. “Oh, now I know. Daddy, you value girls over boys! It’s no wonder I don’t seem to have any status with you. You don’t like boys at all!”
Gu Jinglian said casually, “So you’ve discovered.”
It was mainly because this guy was too annoying sometimes.
Baby Chu was about to say something when he suddenly reacted and took a deep breath. “Mommy’s pregnant?”
Gu Jinglian nodded.
“Two babies?”
Gu Jinglian nodded again.
Baby Chu suddenly clenched his fists excitedly. “I’m going to be a big brother!?”
Gu Jinglian reached out and pinched his nose. It was rare for him to be so gentle. “Uh huh.”
“Wow! That’s awesome!” Baby Chu smiled brightly. “I’m going to be a big brother!”
