Gu Bingjun said helplessly, "I told him he was going to have a little brother or sister, and he just started crying, and he hasn’t stopped since, no matter how I try to console him."
Zhixi looked surprised, gazing at her son’s tear-streaked little face, "Didn’t you always want a little sister?"
He Jingyao raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten what you said?"
"Huh?" Zhixi looked at him blankly.
He Jingyao took Xiaobao into his arms and held him close, "Xiaobao, Mommy will be fine." Updates are released by novel·fıre·net
As he patted his back to burp, he asked with a choked voice, "Really... really?"
"Yes, really," He Jingyao said, both helpless and amused, "Mommy was just scaring you last time, don’t be afraid. Mommy was fine giving birth to you, so she’ll be fine having your sister, too."
It was then that his sobbing finally stopped, and he responded with a tearful "mm-hmm."
After figuring out what was going on, Zhixi got several fierce glares from Gu Bingjun.
But considering she was pregnant again, Gu Bingjun ultimately managed to suppress the urge to scold her.
Xiaobao had calmed down now, his face washed clean, he lay obediently in Zhixi’s arms, holding her tightly as if afraid she would disappear the next second.
Zhixi, feeling guilty, rubbed his cheek, "Xiaobao is a good boy. Mommy will be fine, and in a few months, you’ll have a little sister to play with. Are you happy?"
He wrapped his arms around her neck, "I’m happy if Mommy is okay... otherwise, I don’t like the little sister."
Zhixi stroked his head, somewhat amused. When she looked up and caught He Jingyao’s teasing look, she felt guilty and lowered her head again.
That day, the reason she scared Xiaobao like that, when it came down to it, was for his sake... Hmph, and he still dared to tease her.
"Mr. Gu," He Jingyao turned his gaze to Gu Bingjun, "What are your plans now?"
Gu Bingjun pondered for a moment: "All the contracts that needed to be signed are done. I had planned to see some old friends and then return to Country S, but I never expected this girl to get pregnant..."
He Jingyao smiled, expressing sincerely, "It’s all my fault."
Gu Bingjun suppressed the urge to glare at him, coughed lightly, and said, "Even if I decide to shift my focus to Yangdong City, I have to go back and settle some matters first. It will probably take several months, and the new energy project’s rollout in Country S needs more time, so... I’m leaving this girl and Xiaobao in your care."
"Rest assured," He Jingyao smiled faintly, "As for the new energy project... if there is anything you need help with, just let me know."
Gu Bingjun nodded in satisfaction.
Although he had always found this man too inscrutable and was sure that his foolish daughter was completely under his thumb—indeed, as he had expected, it hadn’t even been a month since she returned to Yangdong City and she was already pregnant, leaving him too exasperated to comment—he was comforted by the fact that He Jingyao’s intentions contained no impurities. To be honest, given his status, 99% of the men who tried to woo Zhixi probably had ulterior motives, except for He Jingyao, whom he trusted completely.
After all, with the strength of HI Group, Gu Bingjun felt that He Jingyao probably never even considered his title as the richest man in Country S...
In one afternoon, the capable Li Bo had made the two villas in Lugang warm and comfortable.
When Zhixi walked in, she almost thought she had entered the wrong place.
Xiaobao, held in He Jingyao’s arms, was extremely excited, "Daddy, are the three of us going to live together from now on?"
