Chapter 917 - 318: Li Yuan’s Little Wish

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment before he finally came back to his senses.

He utterly hadn’t expected that the sexy domineering counselor in his arms would actually hit the jackpot.

But he clearly hadn’t played poker with Qi Siyu that many times; counting everything, it was only around ten or so.

And that already won?

He simply couldn’t believe it.

Could it be that Qi Siyu’s that legendary "easy-to-get-pregnant physique"? Super easy to get knocked up!

Take him with Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin—he’d spent way more time with those three than with Qi Siyu.

The number of poker rounds was also way higher.

Just talking about Bai Weixi: starting from September, he and Bai Weixi had been playing poker together, and up to now it was already February 2009—over four months. The number of times they’d played together, even if not a full hundred, had to be eighty or ninety...

Yet even with that many rounds, isn’t Bai Weixi still perfectly fine, still hasn’t hit?

With Zhong Tingyue and Xia Zhijin, the frequency was about the same. After his rebirth his stamina had improved a lot, and the few of them cherished every moment together with him.

Basically, if they weren’t playing poker, they were on the way to playing poker.

Sometimes just a look, a movement, a joke would trigger a hormone surge in their bodies and spark the urge to enjoy the primal pleasures of life...

Still, when they were playing poker, he had paid attention himself; sometimes he’d let his vital essence spill outside, to avoid a "hit."

After all, Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi had only just become adults and were still in school; if they really accidentally hit the jackpot, they’d either have to drop out or abort the child—no matter which, it was something he didn’t want to see.

In his previous life, he lived thirty years. He never got married, but he went through quite a few relationships; in his heart he did occasionally look forward to having his own child.

If it were a little cotton-padded jacket girl, that’d be even better. The meme of male college students "raising daughters in the cloud" is everywhere.

As an "old man," who wouldn’t want a well-behaved, adorable, clingy, lively little princess?

In this life he’d already achieved financial freedom, so of course he’d be happy to have kids.

Only poor people who have financial difficulties don’t want children; for the rich, the more kids the better.

The saying "more children, more blessings" has existed since ancient times.

As long as you can afford to raise them, with more kids, there will definitely be one who’s promising and can inherit your family business.

It’s just that he never imagined he’d have his own child so soon.

And it wasn’t even from his three official girlfriends—Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin—but from a "lover" he didn’t particularly value...

Joy and shock mixed in Li Yuan’s heart and finally turned into a soft sigh.

At this point, no matter what, there was no way he could say something like telling Qi Siyu to abort the child.

That would be way too irresponsible, totally not what a man should do.

It’s not like he couldn’t afford it—forget one child, even a hundred kids would be easy for him to raise.

Besides, Qi Siyu was already 25 this year; in terms of age she wasn’t that young anymore.

If he were to say he didn’t want a kid right now and tell her to get rid of it,

who knows how heartbroken and devastated Qi Siyu would feel inside.

He actually quite liked this sexy mature counselor onee-san—her figure, personality, singing voice, and so on...

So Li Yuan looked at Qi Siyu’s worried gaze and, without hesitation, said firmly,

The child will be born, and I’ll take care of it!

Hearing Li Yuan say that, the heart Qi Siyu had been holding up finally relaxed.

She didn’t know why, but when she’d just told him she was pregnant, the thing she feared most was Li Yuan saying he didn’t like kids and asking her to abort...

"Li Yuan!" Qi Siyu’s beautiful eyes fixed on Li Yuan as she murmured, her gaze filled with tender affection, like it could melt Li Yuan’s whole body.

Off to the side, Liang Jingjing glanced at Li Yuan’s lower abdomen; the Ruyi Jingu Bang that had been proudly standing tall had already settled down...

"Heh heh, Li Yuan, at least you’ve got some conscience, daring to take responsibility."

Liang Jingjing teased with a laugh. As Qi Siyu’s bestie, she was quite satisfied with Li Yuan’s answer.

"Li Yuan, what are you planning to do now?"

Li Yuan thought for a moment, held Qi Siyu’s small hand, and smiled as he said, "Siyu, how about you quit your job and focus on staying home to take care of the pregnancy?"

"Ah!" Qi Siyu gasped, hesitating in her heart as she asked, "Quit my job?"

"I worked so hard to get into the system. If I just quit like this, wouldn’t it be too big of a loss?"

Beside them, Liang Jingjing joked, "Siyu, are you stupid? You’ve got a billionaire like Li Yuan by your side, why would you still work yourself to death? It’s not like Li Yuan’s short on money for you to spend."

"Besides, quitting is the only way to really rest and take care of the pregnancy. I heard that fetal education is super important. If you take care of yourself properly now, your body will recover better after childbirth..."

"But..." Qi Siyu frowned slightly, still a bit torn inside, and looked at Li Yuan, waiting for his answer.

Li Yuan chuckled, "Siyu, just relax. The essence of working is to make money anyway. As long as I’m making money, that’s enough."

Li Yuan paused, looked at the now-relaxed Qi Siyu, then surveyed the apartment and furrowed his brows slightly.

This place was only eighty to ninety square meters, and the location and floor weren’t great at all; it simply wasn’t suitable for Qi Siyu to peacefully take care of her pregnancy.
