FMLRWS Chapter 698

“Who would dare laugh at me?” Leng Minxing scoffed. “When the child is born, I plan to have our child dominate the headlines!”

Luo Xi couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

“Do you want a son or a daughter?” In big families, it’s common for people to hope for a son as the firstborn, so Luo Xi couldn’t resist asking him.

“I want a daughter because she’ll be as beautiful as you. I’ll pamper her like a little princess, and all my wealth will be hers. Then I’ll find her a husband who will come to our family.” Leng Minxing had it all planned out. If it were a daughter, he certainly wouldn’t let her marry off.

Luo Xi laughed at this. “What family’s son would be willing to be a live-in son-in-law? If it were you, would you be willing to give up your family wealth to be my family’s son-in-law?”

Leng Minxing replied with a serious expression, “Don’t doubt me. I would. I have two hands and don’t need the so-called family wealth. Even if it’s just me, I can carve out a future for you.”

Luo Xi was taken aback. She knew that if Leng Minxing said something, he would follow through with it.

He had never been one to lie or boast, as he had the ability to back it up.

So, hearing this made her heart swell with emotion.

“But what if it’s a son?”

She recalled how in her previous life, when the doctor revealed it was a son, Leng Minxing was disappointed for a long time before accepting the fact that it was a son and not a daughter.

“If it’s a son, that’s fine. As long as it’s yours, I’ll love him.” Leng Minxing gently patted her head as he comforted her.

His quick acceptance surprised Luo Xi. Little did she know that ever since Leng Minxing learned from the doctor that women’s emotions during pregnancy could be sensitive, he had been careful not to say anything negative, fearing she might overthink things.

Especially regarding the sensitive topic of preferring a boy or girl, he was particularly cautious about expressing any dislike.

Otherwise, what if his wife thought he didn’t like having a son?

“Alright then. If you want a daughter, we can have another child later.”

Leng Minxing found this statement a bit odd.

What if the child she was currently carrying was a daughter?

Why wait for another?

Thinking this, he softly looked at Luo Xi’s belly as if it really was a girl.

In the second month, Luo Xi still showed no major reactions of pregnancy.

This made everyone feel somewhat relieved. The doctor had checked several times and confirmed that the fetus was safe.

On the other hand, Hua Feifei and Zhou Yao, who thought Luo Xi was just gaining weight, had shock on their faces when they learned she was pregnant.

“It’s all your fault! What crazy idea did you come up with that made Xixi lose so much weight? I sensed something was wrong back then. Thank goodness nothing happened, or you would be waiting to face Xixi’s husband!”

Zhou Yao glared at Hua Feifei.

Hua Feifei shrank her neck, looking guilty. “Xixi, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault for saying you were getting fat and suggesting those weight-loss meals. I really didn’t mean to put you in danger. I’m so sorry!”

“It’s okay. You didn’t know anything at the time. You can’t blame yourself.” Luo Xi shook her head. It was she who said she wanted to lose weight, so Hua Feifei offered to help.

How could she blame her now?

The two of them advised her to take care of herself during the pregnancy before rushing off to work.

Although she was younger than both of them, she was the first to get married. They still didn’t have boyfriends, while she already had a child.

Luo Xi suddenly felt how strange the world was.

With things going this way, when would she get to attend her best friends’ weddings?

Seeing Luo Xi hang up the call with a dejected expression, Leng Minxing set aside his work and walked over. “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

“It’s nothing. I just feel like time is flying by. Maybe it’s because I’m too happy.” Luo Xi smiled at him.

Hearing this, Leng Minxing reached out and pinched her cheek. “Isn’t happiness good? Do you want to be a bitter woman?”

“Of course not.” Luo Xi shot him a glare, then thinking he hadn’t been to the company for a long time, she was a little worried. “Is it really okay for you to stay home this long without going to work?”

“Of course I have work.”

“Then you should go back quickly. I promise to stay obediently at home and won’t let anything happen. I’m not a child.” Hearing his words, Luo Xi hastily pushed him.

Leng Minxing sighed and pulled her into his arms. “You’re such a silly girl. Nothing is more important than you at this time. Don’t worry, I’ve already received approval for leave from the former chairman and all the senior board members. I’ll return after you give birth.”

“Ah? Isn’t that still a long leave? Is that really okay?” Luo Xi asked worriedly.

“What, are you worried that someone will take our wealth and that I won’t be able to support you and the baby?” Leng Minxing teased, raising an eyebrow.

Luo Xi shook her head. “It’s not that, I just feel a bit uneasy.”

“Don’t worry. Second Uncle is watching over the company. Nothing will go wrong,” Leng Mingxing said with a wry smile. “If it were any other woman, she would be overjoyed, but you are complaining about me now? Are you tired of seeing me every day?”

“How could that be?” Luo Xi smiled helplessly. “I just don’t want to delay your work.”

She had visited Leng Minxing’s company before and knew how busy he was, which is why she was worried.

But now that he had reassured her, Luo Xi let her worries go.

Who wouldn’t want their man to be with them at a time like this?

It was said that the cheating rates for men during their partner’s pregnancy reached up to as high as 66%.

Although she felt Leng Minxing wasn’t that type of person, what if some seductive vixen came knocking on his door to seduce him?

The thought of this possibility made Luo Xi uneasy, so naturally she wouldn’t push him away.

…

“You’re not going to sleep with me tonight?”

Seeing him get up and leave after coaxing her to sleep, Luo Xi, who had been pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, looking at him with an expression of grievance.

For several days, Leng Mingxing had been sneaking into the guest room to sleep after she fell asleep every day.

Luo Xi originally thought he was just waking up early, so she hadn’t thought much of it. But when she woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and didn’t see him, she began to suspect something. So tonight, she pretended to be asleep to see his reaction, yet he left as soon as he saw her close her eyes.

Leng Minxing was stunned. “You weren’t asleep?”

“I can’t sleep without you,” Luo Xi pouted, reaching out her hand towards him.

A look of helplessness flashed across Leng Minxing’s eyes as he pulled her into his arms. “Alright, I’m here.”

“You’re lying! You were clearly going to leave just now.” Luo Xi complained, feeling wronged.

He had no idea how uncomfortable it felt waking up each day to find him not by her side.

“I had some things to deal with.” Leng Minxing rubbed his temples tiredly.
