Chapter 2732 - 2736: Son, You Know So Much!

Chapter 2732: Chapter 2736: Son, You Know So Much!

"Not quite," he quickly changed his words: "If it’s a daughter, she’s even more precious than gold nuggets!"

Ye Xingbei: "...I feel sorry for your son!"

Not even born yet, and already there’s a difference in treatment.

Disdain for Fifth Lord of Gu, who favors daughters over sons!

"No need to feel sorry," Gu Junzhu gently stroked Ye Xingbei’s belly, his gaze tender enough to drip water, "If it’s a son, I would love him just the same!... The key point is, if you could give our dad another grandson, he’d be so happy he’d feel ten years younger."

Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but nod with a smile: "That’s true."

Old folks are usually heavily influenced by traditional values.

Even in everyday life, where they don’t favor sons over daughters and might even pamper daughters a little more, deep down, they still wish for many sons and grandsons, to carry on the family lineage.

If she were to have a daughter, Senior Master Gu certainly wouldn’t be unhappy and he would like her daughter very much.

But if she could give Senior Master Gu another grandson, he would definitely be happier than if she had a daughter.

"Dad, Mom!" Seeing Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei walking over, the little Xiao Shumiao ran over from beside the barbecue grill.

The little guy, with sharp eyes, saw Gu Junzhu’s hand placed on Ye Xingbei’s belly and immediately blinked his big eyes, asking Gu Junzhu: "Dad, did you plant a little sister in Mom’s belly?"

Fifth Lord of Gu smiled proudly: "Almost!"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

"Wow! Really?" Xiao Shumiao’s eyes lit up, and he put his little hand on Ye Xingbei’s belly, "A ten-month pregnancy, it’ll take ten months for Xiao Shu to meet the little sister, right, Mom?"

He looked up at Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei was speechless for a moment, squatted down, placed her index finger on her lips, and made a shushing gesture: "We don’t know if Mom is pregnant yet. Even if Mom is pregnant, it might not be a little sister. Xiao Shu has to keep it a secret now, don’t shout about it, okay?"

Xiao Shumiao blinked, puzzled: "Why, Mom?"

Ye Xingbei was a bit troubled: "Because it’s still uncertain whether Mom is pregnant, so Mom doesn’t want others to know right now."

"Oh, oh!" Xiao Shumiao’s voice lowered immediately, he leaned his little mouth close to Ye Xingbei’s ear and whispered: "Mom, I got it, this is a secret between Dad, Mom, and me, I won’t tell anyone!"

Ye Xingbei’s mouth twitched slightly, she patted his little head, "Good boy."

Xiao Shumiao hugged her neck and kept glancing at her belly: "So, Mom, when will you tell me if Dad actually planted a little sister in your belly?"

Ye Xingbei: "...Tonight when we get home, I’ll tell you then, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Shumiao agreed brightly, holding her hand: "Mom, the meat is grilled, there are so many kinds, what would you like to eat? I’ll take you to get it!"

Ye Xingbei had not yet walked closer, thinking about the greasy look of the skewers made her feel nauseous.

She stopped, waved at Xiao Shumiao: "No, no, Xiao Shu, Mom is nauseous, doesn’t want to eat grilled meat."

Xiao Shumiao’s eyes widened, "Doesn’t nausea mean pregnancy? Mom, you must be pregnant with a sister!"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Son, you know so much!

"Not necessarily," she explained: "It could also be that Mom is seasick."

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Shumiao looked at her, worried, with furrowed brows: "Mom, do you feel bad? How about we go home? Once off the boat, Mom definitely won’t feel bad anymore."
