Shen Yi raised his hand and tenderly stroked Ye Wanwan’s head, speaking softly, "This morning, I heard from Mom that some relatives were asking whether you’re having a boy or a girl."
"Our Shen Family isn’t so feudal as to insist on having a son; you don’t have to worry about what your parents, or anyone else for that matter, might say."
"Whether our baby is a boy or a girl, they are our child, and I will give them the same love."
Shen Yi had also only found out about this matter this morning, which had been brought up by Su Xiangyi in a joking manner. However, both Shen Yi and his parents knew what Su Xiangyi really meant.
Lin Xu immediately stated that whether it was a boy or a girl, they would be the Shen Family’s child, and if Wanwan wanted to have a second or even a third child in the future, regardless of the gender, everything in the Shen Family would be divided equally.
If Wanwan wanted to have only this one child, even if it was a girl, everything in the Shen Family would be hers too!
There was absolutely no such thing as valuing boys over girls in their family!
Shen Yi himself felt the same way—he truly didn’t care whether the baby was a boy or a girl. From the beginning to the end, he cared about the baby precisely because they were his and Wanwan’s!
"Really?" Ye Wanwan squinted slightly, looking at Shen Yi in disbelief.
Regarding the matter Shen Yi had mentioned, Ye Wanwan had already heard about it from Su Xiangyi.
Her pregnancy hadn’t been widely announced, but family members like Ye Wanwan’s second aunt were aware of it.
Su Xiangyi had initially been looked down upon by the Ye Family matriarch because she hadn’t given birth to a son.
And it’s not just Su Xiangyi—in this wealthy family, many wives were bullied for not bearing sons for the family.
Su Xiangyi was relatively fortunate; at least Ye Zhenhua had always firmly stood by her side from beginning to end.
So when Wanwan’s second aunt found out about Ye Wanwan’s pregnancy, she started worrying about whether it would be a boy or a girl.
Su Xiangyi was also afraid that Ye Wanwan, being thoughtless, might begin to overthink after hearing some gossip, which is why she had spoken to Ye Wanwan about this early on.
And Ye Wanwan hadn’t taken the matter to heart from the start.
Not to say that Zhouzhou was indeed a boy, but even if Zhouzhou were not, Ye Wanwan clearly knew that the Shen Family members were definitely not the kind to value boys over girls.
However, now looking at Shen Yi, why did she feel like he was just making excuses for his actions?
"There’s no preference for boys over girls, but this preference for girls over boys, can’t you be a little less obvious about it?" Ye Wanwan said with a face of incredulity.
Shen Yi felt somewhat guilty under Ye Wanwan’s gaze. Okay, he admitted it; although he said out loud that he would love their baby regardless of gender, in his heart he actually hoped for a girl, a cute girl just like Ye Wanwan.
He would definitely make her the happiest little princess in the world!
"Hmph!" Ye Wanwan let out a snort and then asked seriously, "You say that when the baby is born, if they find out that Dad has prepared everything for a sister, won’t they feel like Dad doesn’t like them?"
Upon hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Shen Yi was stunned for several seconds and then glanced at the clothes hanging in front. Catching sight of a set printed with Ultraman on the T-shirt and shorts, he quickly walked over and took the little outfit down.
"Would the baby ?" Shen Yi asked her seriously, holding up the clothes for Ye Wanwan to see.
