Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Is a Little Brother or Sister Coming Soon?
Chi Enen kept her promise and took Baby Chi to pick strawberries.
In front of the villa was a vast strawberry field, stretching beyond sight. Not far from the strawberry fields, there was a clear stream. The tinkling water flowed through the ridges, while willow trees on both sides swayed with the breeze, bringing waves of cool wind scented with strawberries.
A beach vacation table was set up outside the nearby villa, with fruits and drinks on top, and a man was lounging lazily on a sun chair.
Servants shuttled back and forth, serving him chilled beverages.
Chi Enen and Chi Jingchen, both wearing straw hats, big hand holding small hand, and carrying bamboo woven baskets, advanced towards the strawberry field.
Finding a shady spot to pick strawberries, as soon as they set down the basket, Chi Jingchen squatted beside her and asked, “Woman, since you sleep with The Neighbor Old Wang every day, am I about to have a little brother or sister soon?”
“Pfft—” Chi Enen choked on his sudden childish words, nearly gasping for breath.
Chi Jingchen didn’t realize he had asked an overly personal question, blinking his large eyes and tilting his beautiful face angelically, “The television said that when mommy and daddy sleep together every day, they will quickly create a baby. I like younger sisters.”
“Why? Don’t boys usually prefer little brothers? Little brothers can play war games together, go on adventures, get into mischief, fight together. Younger sisters tend to cry more and need to be taken care of…”
Chi Jingchen snorted at her as if she were a fool, glancing at her, then picked a strawberry and tossed it into the basket, seriously analyzing, “Dumb! Having daughters is like partnering with a Merchant’s Bank, having sons is like dealing with an Industrial Bank.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“It means that when you have a daughter, you can earn a fortune from her dowry when she marries; having a son means you’ll have to pay a hefty Wife’s Money,” Chi Jingchen looked at her disdainfully, “Woman, you’re so poor, you definitely won’t have money for Wife’s Money. As the older brother, I would have to pay a lot. So, a sister is better.”
Only 5 years old, and he already had a knack for small business, even calculating the cost for his future siblings. Chi Enen’s mouth hung open in surprise.
“Bae Chi, who taught you this? Teacher Loulou?”
Xu Lulu seemed like a young girl, not one to teach such things.
Quite possibly, Xu Lulu herself hadn’t thought or calculated as much as he had.
If she hadn’t taught him, and neither had Xu Lulu or Li Beijue, where had Bae Chi gotten this theory from?
Though not particularly wealthy these past years, she’d done her best to fulfill his material needs. Not wealthy by any means, but they weren’t so poor as to be eating dirt.
How had her Bae Chi become such a number wiz?
“I figured it out myself,” replied Chi Jingchen, not at all ashamed, but proud. His eyes earnestly fixed on her stomach, he said seriously, “Woman, have a little sister for me, I promise I’ll protect her well and not let any scoundrels deceive her!”
Sisters are so nice, fragrant and soft, just like cute little buns.
Brothers are no good, smelly and annoying, crawling all over the place all day long, competing for toys, competing for the woman’s attention.
He didn’t like little brothers.
He liked younger sisters!
His gaze was so hopeful, as though there truly was a sister hiding in Chi Enen’s belly, about to be born any moment, almost as if he wished he could stare a hole through her.
Chi Enen awkwardly shielded her stomach with the basket and said, “There’s no little brother or sister here. Don’t overthink it.”
