Chapter 858: Happiness

Sunday afternoon.

When Dong Xuebing’s mother and Qu Yunxuan were feeding Little Qianqian, Dong Xuebing dragged Xie Huilan into the room. He hugged her and kissed her.

Xie Huilan giggled and wiped her face. “Why are you so passionate? I cannot stand it. Haha….”

Dong Xuebing was in a good mood. “How can you hide such an important thing from me?”

“I had wanted to tell you, but you were kicked out by Mum when you returned. How can I tell you?”

“I know you well. Even if I am not kicked out of the house, you will tease me for a few days before telling me.”

“What’s wrong? Huh? Do you still want our child?” Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. “You dote Little Qianqian so much, and you will not dote on my child in the future.”

Dong Xuebing argued. “You dare not to give birth?!”

“Haha…. Try me.”

“Ah…. Please stop joking about this.”

Xie Huilan laughed and touched her tummy. “This is my son. I care about him more than you.”

“You are always trying to scare me.” Dong Xuebing was not mad, and he kissed Xie Huilan’s forehead. “How do you know you are carrying a son?”

“How do I know? I am only one month pregnant, and even the doctors can’t tell.”

“Then why do you keep calling our baby son?”

“I prefer to have a son. Sons are closer to their mothers. Haha….”

“Alright. A son is fine. Don’t be upset when you find out it’s a daughter. We are Civil Servants, and we should not discriminate against our child’s gender.”

Xie Huilan laughed. “You dare to preach about government policies in front of me?! When I hear my family talk about government policies, you are not even born.”

Dong Xuebing grumbled. “Stop using your age to suppress me. Who knows if our child will be closer to me in the future?”

Xie Huilan sat on the bed and crossed her legs. “Fine. Wait and see.”

Dong Xuebing squatted on the floor and held Xie Huilan’s waist. He kissed her tummy and said. “My good son…. Come out early. Daddy can’t wait to meet you.”

Xie Huilan stroked Dong Xuebing’s hair. “Xiao Bing, I am feeling a bit thirsty.”

“Stay here.” Dong Xuebing quickly got up. “I will bring a glass of water. Do you want fruits?”

“No need. A glass of water is fine.”

“Alright. Wait here.”

Dong Xuebing immediately poured a glass of water for her.

“Thank you.” Xie Huilan took a sip. “My husband is so nice to me today.”

“You are our family’s treasure now, and I must take care of you. Tell me what you need, and I will do it for you.”

“Haha…. Come closer. I will reward you.”

Dong Xuebing moved closer. “Yes… yes….”

Xie Huilan kissed Dong Xuebing on his lips. “Hmm…. So sweet.”

Dong Xuebing cheered. “Again…. Kiss me again.”

Xie Huilan giggled and kissed Dong Xuebing again. “Enough?”

Dong Xuebing could tell Xie Huilan was in a good mood after finding out she was pregnant. She would never kiss him like this in the past. He was overjoyed after he knew about her pregnancy and had been smiling since lunch. He understood why Xie Huilan hoped to have a son. She had grown up in a traditional family, and the family values sons over daughters. She was the oldest third generation of the Xie Family, and her family would groom her son in the future. If she had a daughter, she would not go far in the government service unless she was as capable as Xie Huilan. Women have disadvantages in the government, and this cannot be changed soon.

Both cuddled and chatted for a while.

After Xie Huilan was pregnant, she became gentler.

Dong Xuebing said. “Huilan, I noticed you had changed after you were pregnant. It’s great. You must continue to be gentle like this in the future.”

Xie Huilan glanced at him. “Are you saying I am not gentle towards you in the past?”

Dong Xuebing lied. “Gentle…. You are always gentle.”

Xie Huilan rubbed her tummy. “You are right. I noticed I had changed after I became pregnant. I had to rub my tummy before I slept, and I would smile whenever I thought of my son. Haha…. You will not understand this feeling. Oh, my tummy will show up in a few months, and it will be hard for me to concentrate at work. I got to finish whatever I can do now.”

“You must take care of yourself and cannot exert yourself.”

“I know what to do. Haha….”

“Save it. You have always pushed yourself to your limits when you are at work. You are carrying a baby, and you must watch out.”

Xie Huilan was a different person today. “Ok. Haha…. I will listen to my Little Husband.”

Dong Xuebing felt good. “That’s right. Come over and let me kiss your tummy. I want to let my son feel my love.”

It was a happy afternoon.

Luan Xiaoping prepared dinner alone and refused to let Qu Yunxuan and Xie Huilan help. She chased them out of the kitchen. She made a pot of chicken soup and several dishes. The soup and the rest of the dishes were nutritious. This meal was specially prepared for them.

Dong Xuebing grumbled. “Mum, I asked you to cook shredded pork with garlic sauce. Why did you cook only vegetables? The chicken in the soup is overcooked.” He is not a picky eater, but he does not like to eat vegetables only.

Luan Xiaoping replied nonchalantly. “Huilan is pregnant and cannot take spicy food. Yunxuan is still breastfeeding, and she also cannot eat spicy food. Who is going to eat it if I cook that?”

“I can eat it.” Dong Xuebing argued.

Luan Xiaoping retorted. “Huilan and Yunxuan have the top priority in our house. You can don’t eat if you don’t like it.”

Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan laughed.

Dong Xuebing was speechless. “Fine. I had no place in this house now.”
