Chapter 707: Chapter 708: Full Moon Celebration (2)
Gu Qiangwei smiled awkwardly.
She remembered that Qin Sijue referred to his “son”, and Grandma had mentioned having a chubby little boy for her, but what if it was a girl?
At this thought, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but lower her gaze and glance at Zhuang Yanyan.
She wondered whether a prominent family like Qin Sijue’s harbored any preference for boys over girls.
Seeing her not eating and lost in thought, Zhuang Yanyan couldn’t help but ask.
Gu Qiangwei looked up, caught the eye of the old lady, and asked with a smile, “Grandma, would you be disappointed if it were a girl?”
Some questions, if repressed, would discomfort her, so she might as well take this opportunity to ask them.
Zhuang Yanyan raised an eyebrow, “Of course not, whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s the child of you and Sijue, the flesh and blood of our Qin Family. How could Grandma possibly be disappointed?”
As her words ended, Zhuang Yanyan seemed to realize something, “Oh, do you think Grandma prefers a boy because I mentioned having a chubby little boy and thought that’s what I like?”
Gu Qiangwei didn’t deny it and nodded, that was indeed what she had thought.
With a smile, Zhuang Yanyan said, “It’s just habit, so I didn’t correct myself on the spot!”
After speaking, as if worried Gu Qiangwei might feel pressured, Zhuang Yanyan put down her chopsticks, took her hand, and said, “Don’t feel pressured, whether it’s a boy or a girl, they are all Grandma’s precious darlings, including you and Sijue, as well as your elder cousins and their spouses. You are all the apple of Grandma’s eye.”
Listening to her, Gu Qiangwei felt a warm current sweep across her heart.
But lowering her brows, she thought of Qin Sijue, “But Qin Sijue seems quite fond of sons.”
“Really?” Zhuang Yanyan hadn’t inquired into that.
Gu Qiangwei nodded vehemently.
“I don’t think so; as long as the child is yours, he will surely love them!”
Glancing at Zhuang Yanyan, Gu Qiangwei kept silent.
Did Qin Sijue prefer a boy or a girl after all?
In the evening, after lunch, Gu Qiangwei accompanied Zhuang Yanyan to the Qin Mansion to visit the little baby and Feng Jinglei.
By the time she returned to Jueyuan, it was already past nine at night.
After taking a bath, she got into bed and under the covers; soon, she was overcome with sleepiness.
Lately, she found it very easy to fall asleep; as soon as she got into bed, she could fall asleep right away.
She did not know when Qin Sijue came back, as she was already fast asleep until she woke up the next morning to find the man lying beside her.
With a trace of grogginess, Gu Qiangwei turned over, continuing to sleep, and instinctively nuzzled into his arms.
This movement awakened Qin Sijue as well.
Barely opening his eyelids, he saw her naturally colored hair spread a fragrance that reached his sensitive nose.
Smelling that scent, his hand involuntarily lifted, planning to wrap her in his embrace.
However, that lift touched the softness of her chest.
Instantly, Qin Sijue felt as if he had been electrified, a wave of heat rapidly stimulating every cell in his body.
It had been too long since he had wanted her.
And at that moment, the drowsy Gu Qiangwei, after being gently grasped by him, murmured unwittingly, “Hmm…”
And that murmur to Qin Sijue was like ‘pouring oil on the fire’!
And his hand was still resting on her softness.
Taking a deep breath and enduring this ‘agony’, Qin Sijue had no choice but to leave the warmth of the bed and, in the chill of the great winter, use cold water to wash over himself. For only this could quench the raging fire within him!
