Song Ning pouted slightly. “What if I’m pregnant with a boy now? What if he hears these words now? He’ll be unhappy because Daddy doesn’t like him…”
Mu Chen’s hand that was only Song Ning’s belly paused for a moment before he said firmly, “It’s better to have a daughter first. We’ll have a son in the future. I want a daughter first!”
Song Ning could not help but laugh; she found him cute. She patted his hand and said with a sigh, “Based on my pulse-taking experiences, I’m afraid your firstborn will be a son…”
Mu Chen said stubbornly, “No, your experiences might not be accurate. I want to have a daughter first….”
Song Ning laughed out loud as she thought to herself, amused, ‘What a stubborn man!’
At this moment, the door to the room opened before Jiang Jin walked in followed by Sister Yu.
Jiang Jin said to her grandson, clearly pleased, “Hmm? You did well today; you made Song Ning so happy today. I could hear her laughter in the corridor…”
Mu Chen rose to his feet and helped his grandmother to a seat as Song Ning recounted their earlier conversation to his grandmother.
After listening to Song Ning, Jiang Jin laughed. “How can a father behave this way? What if the baby hears you? He’ll feel unhappy and unwanted…”
Mu Chen smiled but did not say anything. He would not argue with his grandmother about this matter. He would never hear the end of this if he argued with her.
Song Ning could not help but ask, “Grandma, do you want a granddaughter or a grandson?”
Jiang Jin smiled before she seriously replied, “I’m fine with any one. Both are delightful in different ways. As long as the baby is healthy, I’ll be happy!”
Mu Chen smiled and said, “Then, we’ll just have a daughter and a son!”
Jiang Jin hit him gently. “Do you think you have a choice in this matter? This is a gift from God; don’t be picky!” Then, she turned to look at Song Ning and said with a smile, “Ignore this fool. He just wants a daughter who looks exactly like you because he’s too in love with you.”
Mu Chen smiled when his thoughts were exposed by Jiang Jin.
On the contrary, a hint of sadness flashed in Song Ning’s eyes. She could have had a younger brother. If her younger brother was still around, as his older sister, she would definitely dote on him and treat him well. She would have been incredibly happy to be an older sister. It was unfortunate her brother left before he even had a chance to see the world. She only hoped her brother was happy with their mother now.
After a moment, she reached out and stroked her still-flat belly and asked, “Grandma, when will the baby start growing. I can feel the baby’s faint pulse, but I still can feel the baby…”
Although Song Ning was a doctor and knew the answer to the question, it was a different experience being pregnant herself. Moreover, this was her first time being pregnant.
Sister Yu said with a smile, “Young Madam, don’t be anxious. Although you can feel it now, the baby is growing as we speak… Moreover, if you feel anxious, the baby will feel anxious as well…”
“Will he feel anxious as well?” Song Ning asked as she looked at Sister Yu in confusion.
Sister Yu nodded. “Of course. The baby is connected to the mother after all.”
Jiang Jin said tenderly, “Song Ning, you’ve worked hard. Being a mother is a difficult job. In the future, Song Ning has the final say in the family. Mu Chen, do you understand?”
Mu Chen hurriedly nodded.
Jiang Jin was very satisfied with Mu Chen’s response. After a moment, she said, “That’s right. Mu Chen, accompany me to visit the doctors. I lost my temper previously, and I think they’re a little afraid of me. I should speak to them so they won’t say I’m bullying them…”
Jiang Jin did not wait for Mu Chen’s reply. She rose to her feet and dragged him out of the room. Before leaving, she said to Sister Yu, “Ah Yu, remember to accompany Song Ning out for a walk. The fresh air will do her good…”
As soon as the door to Song Ning’s room closed, Jiang Jin’s smile vanished from her face immediately as she said, “Mu Chen, I’ve already sent a lawyer’s letter to the Ye family. The police will handle the matter with Ye Xin, but the Ye family has to give us an explanation in regard to Gao Wen’s actions.”
