"Mm, that’s what I said," Ye Wanwan muttered, her words muffled by the toothbrush in her mouth.
Shen Yi laughed again. "How can I have a daughter if I don’t put in the effort?"
Ye Wanwan paused, finding Shen Yi’s words quite reasonable, yet why did she also feel like Shen Yi was shameless?
He wasn’t in their past life.
All of a sudden, Ye Wanwan thought of something and turned her head to look at Shen Yi. With a toothbrush in her hand and white foam at her mouth, she said earnestly, "It’s going to be a boy."
Zhouzhou was going to be a boy.
Even though a daughter would be nice, she only wanted Zhouzhou.
Shen Yi wasn’t bothered; he gently tousled Ye Wanwan’s messy hair, kindly reminding her, "Including breakfast, you’ve got twenty minutes before you need to leave."
Ye Wanwan turned her head back and continued brushing her teeth, no longer paying attention to Shen Yi.
In the end, Ye Wanwan still didn’t manage to have breakfast on time and had the servants pack it up for her to eat in the car.
While in the car, Ye Wanwan received a group message from Song Ziyi, "@Wanwan is a fairy, how was it last night? Wasn’t it exciting?"
Biting into a small bun, Ye Wanwan freed one hand to reply to Song Ziyi, "I’m afraid if it’s too exciting, the baby won’t even be here before I can’t handle it!"
"Looks like it wasn’t enough then. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be up so early. Is Shen Yi not up to the task?" Song Ziyi’s reply came flying back.
Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes internally, "Big sister, I do have a job, you know?"
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, you’re always right."
Ye Wanwan couldn’t be bothered to engage further and continued eating her breakfast.
That afternoon, Ye Wanwan’s mother Su Xiangyi also called her, asking if she was really trying for a baby.
Ye Wanwan was surprised, "How did you know?"
"Didn’t you ask Auntie Ziyi? Her aunt told Ziyi’s mom, and Ziyi’s mom told me. Tell me, is it true?" Su Xiangyi asked.
Even though she was speaking with her own mother, Ye Wanwan still felt a bit awkward, somewhat unnaturally saying, "Mm, it’s true, we’re planning for a baby."
Hearing this, Su Xiangyi was overjoyed, feeling like her words from last time had been heeded by Ye Wanwan.
"That’s good, as long as it’s true. I won’t interfere with anything. Your pre-marital checkups were all normal, just go ahead with the regular pregnancy planning," she said.
Su Xiangyi didn’t want to intrude too much, carefully maintaining the distance between them.
"Okay," Ye Wanwan replied softly.
Afterward, Su Xiangyi kept her word, as she said she would, and didn’t inquire any further into Ye Wanwan’s pregnancy planning
Two days later, the pet hospital messaged Ye Wanwan, informing her that the kitten’s condition had greatly improved and that if she was sure about the adoption, she could bring it home.
So on Friday after work, Ye Wanwan had Uncle Zhang drive her to Jinghong Group to pick up Shen Yi, and together they went to the pet hospital.
Taozhi had just had a bath and was meowing in Ye Wanwan’s palm, soft and tiny.
"We’re going home!" Ye Wanwan said to the kitten, tilting her head.
Shen Yi was discussing vaccination and feeding for Taozhi with the doctor nearby.
About half an hour later, they left the pet hospital with Taozhi in tow.
All the way home, Ye Wanwan was excited, holding Taozhi in her arms and talking to it. Every few words, Taozhi would meow in response, as if it truly understood her.
Shen Yi watched, finding the scene amusing.
