Chapter 706: Going to Get a Vasectomy

Fu Mingxue had nothing else to do, so she simply went back to her room to read.

Just as her eyes were starting to feel sore, she heard Qin Wenhao calling for her from the courtyard. "Honey, come on out! It’s time to eat."

His voice was quite loud.

It was more than enough to make the nearby army wives in the family compound burn with envy.

’Look at that. How could anyone say it’s the same no matter who you marry?’

Their own husbands all came home complaining about how exhausted they were. They wouldn’t lift a finger to do a single thing—the type of men who wouldn’t even bother to set a toppled soy sauce bottle upright.

But just look at Qin Tuan—he came home to cook, do laundry, and wash the dishes. He did all the chores his wife was supposed to do.

And then there was Fu Mingxue. She was an army wife too, yet they had never seen her cook a single meal.

’Truly, they were all women, but they had such different fates.’

Of course, Fu Mingxue had no idea that the other wives in the family compound were once again getting their feathers ruffled over Qin Wenhao cooking dinner.

When she came out and saw the table laden with food, her face lit up with a joyful smile.

"Qin Wenhao, you’ve made such a feast tonight! And this chicken and mushroom stew... it smells absolutely heavenly."

Qin Wenhao ladled her a bowl of chicken soup, then added a large chicken thigh, some more meat, and mushrooms to it.

"If you like the smell, then eat up. Not just the soup, but the meat, too. You should eat plenty of everything."

After all, he had stewed this chicken specifically to help nourish her body.

"Of course I will." Fu Mingxue eagerly took a sip of the soup. The aroma was truly intoxicating.

Not to mention the meat on the large chicken thigh—it was unbelievably tender.

Even the smaller pieces of chicken were stewed to perfection.

They weren’t the least bit dry.

By the end of the meal, Fu Mingxue was in an excellent mood.

"Oh, by the way, Qin Wenhao, let’s have a baby next year!"

This sudden declaration left Qin Wenhao utterly stunned.

"Honey, why are you suddenly bringing this up? There’s no rush to have a child—"

"Next year is about right. We’ll have one child, and then no more." ’Even if I wanted more later, I wouldn’t be able to.’

’After all, the policy is coming.’

’Besides, one child is enough.’

’Add in the twins, and our family will have three children!’

Qin Wenhao stared at Fu Mingxue. "Honey, are you serious? You really want to have a baby?"

He suddenly thought of something.

"—Or did someone say something to you again? Really, you don’t have to worry about that. If other people want to gossip, just let them. We don’t have to pay them any mind."

"It’s not because of anyone else. It’s my own idea, and it was always part of the plan. I was already thinking of having a baby next year. My mom is still young, so she won’t have any problem looking after three children. And even if she can’t manage, we can just hire someone to help with childcare."

’She could completely afford the wages now.’

Qin Wenhao studied her face, and once he was sure she was serious, a happy smile finally broke out across his features.

In fact, Qin Wenhao’s face was practically splitting with a grin; he had never smiled so widely in his life.

"Honey, you’re the best. We’ll have one next year, then. And don’t you worry. One is plenty for us. After that, I’ll go get a vasectomy."

Fu Mingxue was taken aback by his words.

Few men were willing to get a vasectomy.

They superstitiously believed that a man who’d had the procedure would suffer a decline in *that* department.

Still, the fact that Qin Wenhao had offered it of his own accord made her very happy.

"There’s no rush for a vasectomy. Let’s talk about it again after we have the baby."

’He was probably just saying it in the heat of the moment.’

’He might change his mind later.’

’So she didn’t take his words to heart.’
