Chapter 257: Chapter 248: Boy or Girl?

Su Ronggui came to discuss marriage seriously with Shu Hui, bringing gifts, being polite and considerate, hoping to get Shu Hui’s formal approval.

Tu Hengsha was completely taken by surprise, extremely delighted, sitting next to Su Ronggui, her eyes curving with smiles, sweetly waiting for Shu Hui to agree.

However, Shu Hui’s expression was so joyful, and after some contemplation, she said to Su Ronggui, "You want to marry Little Sha, so what do you plan to do next? According to our old customs, it’s supposed to be your family coming to propose, not you coming alone with gifts. Although you young people now value being trendy, in my opinion, my daughter is a treasure in my hand. She should be joyfully welcomed into a family, not become yours casually and yet go unblessed by your family. I hope Little Sha follows you to enjoy blessings in your family, not bear grievances."

"Mom..." Tu Hengsha quietly tugged at Shu Hui’s clothes, feeling her words were too blunt.

But Su Ronggui signaled her not to hurry and respectfully stated to Shu Hui, "Aunt Shu, since I’m here discussing this today, I’m naturally assured at heart. This is just a heads-up to you, after which I will have my family formally propose. Rest assured, I won’t let Little Sha suffer any grievances."

Shu Hui nodded, feeling satisfied, "It’s good you can keep your word."

"Certainly, Aunt Shu," he promised once again.

The dining atmosphere later was pretty good. Su Ronggui wasn’t much of a talker, while Shu Hui, thinking about how this lad was going to steal her precious daughter, felt a bit stuffy inside and occasionally had to scold him a little, but he listened good-humoredly with smiles, eating slowly, and even after the meal, he sipped two bowls of soup slowly before putting down his bowl. After dinner, Shu Hui brought out some fruit, which he ate quite a bit of.

It wasn’t until it was indeed getting a bit late, and Shu Hui yawned with her hand covering her mouth, that he embarrassedly took his leave.

After seeing Su Ronggui off, Tu Hengsha returned, and Shu Hui suddenly asked her, "You two... have you already done the naughty thing?"

"..." Tu Hengsha was momentarily stunned, only then understanding what the naughty thing meant, her face turned red, and she dared not make a sound. Even though she was quite mischievous in front of Su Ronggui, she still dared not act up in front of her own mother, additionally feeling shy.

Shu Hui understood and sighed, "I knew it! You!"

"Mom!" She stepped forward, hugging Shu Hui’s arm, "Xiao Xu is very good. Isn’t it about to be the wedding now? What are you still worried about? Even if his mom disagrees, he won’t abandon me! Mom, I believe in him."

Shu Hui only sighed and turned around to stroke her hair, "Mom only hopes you’ll be well."

"Mm..." Tu Hengsha leaned comfortably against Shu Hui, inhaling the unique scent coming from her mother, content and happy. It was the scent only her mother had in winter, from the cheapest face cream at the school gate’s convenience stall, a scent she had smelled since young. Later, when she made money, she bought slightly better skincare products for her mom, but her mom was reluctant to use them, still using the cheapest kind. "Mom, when I marry Xiao Xu, you come live with us in the courtyard so our family will never be apart."

Shu Hui teased her, "What a shameless idea! I live at the school comfortably, why would I follow you and become a burden—it’s bound to irritate you two, and you’ll blame me for being a nuisance!"

"Mom, no way! Xiao Xu has such good character, how could he mind you? He’s especially nice to the housemaids and nannies at home." As she spoke of Xiao Xu, Tu Hengsha’s eyes lit up with brightness. "Mom, he likes having a lot of people at home, lively and bustling. Although he doesn’t like talking, he enjoys listening. You see when he eats at our place, he never wants to leave, even if he listens to you scold him, he’s still cheerful."

Shu Hui thought of the big boy who indeed lingered every time he visited her home, and her face softened a bit.

Tu Hengsha half-closed her eyes, a glow of hope in them, "Mom, when you live with us then, and Sister Qian too, and I’ll have two babies, a boy and a girl. Then our home will be lively." He longed for family so much, he would definitely be very happy! He’d be a good dad, right? Or would he discipline kids like he did her? Thinking this, she grinned foolishly and couldn’t close her mouth.

Shu Hui disliked it greatly, "Just look at your foolish self! How did I end up with such a disgraceful daughter? Not even married yet and you’re thinking about having kids? Wipe your drool! Mentioning your Xiao Xu makes you a Little Fool!"

Tu Hengsha wiped her mouth, protesting, "Where’s the drool!"

Shu Hui shook her head, greatly disapproving of her demeanor.

Yet Tu Hengsha suddenly thought of the utterly muddled thing from the last night with Su Ronggui, she couldn’t remember if he used any protection or not. Calculating the time, she was not even in the safe period!

She immediately went back to her room to call Su Ronggui.

"Hello?" His voice came through, it was like the whole body soaking in a hot spring on a snowy night, warm and cozy, every cell immensely refreshed.

"Xiao Xu..." She felt it was a bit unmodest to discuss having kids with him at the moment, but she was always straightforward, so she just let go and asked her question.

"Yesterday... no." He was still driving, a smile lingering at the corner of his lips, her soft voice through the earphones. Actually, he did use protection, as he hadn’t formally married her yet; he didn’t want her to be a pregnant bride. The one-time wedding dress in life, he feared wouldn’t look beautiful on her, worried that her wedding might feel too rushed and hurried.

"What if there’s a child?" She spoke with some annoyance, even though she liked children, just as he did, enjoying a lively home, but it was too early, wasn’t it?

Children, huh?

Automatically, a scene unfolded in his mind of her and the little kid fighting for candy, big child with little child... Would they end up fighting over candy? The image was so amusing he couldn’t help but laugh over the phone.

"Do you prefer a boy or a girl?" Slowly, he imagined what their child would look like.

"Of course, both a boy and a girl!" She replied without hesitation, "But I hope to have a brother first and then a sister."

He immediately understood; she had grown up stumbling along the way, enduring many hardships. If she had a brother, perhaps she wouldn’t have struggled so much.

"Okay, I’ll work hard," he replied according to her words.

"For such things, what good is your hard work?" She pouted, quite unimpressed.

At this moment, he really wanted to work hard...

"Little Fool..." he called her softly.

"..." Calling her Little Fool again!

"Are you listening?"

"..." Should she answer she was or wasn’t listening? She huffed, "Little Fool isn’t here, Little Sha is here."

He laughed again, the car lights outside shining brilliantly like stars, "Little Fool, let’s have a daughter."

"Why?"

"It’s said boys take after their mothers, and girls after their fathers. What if we have a boy like his mom who’s as silly, and then he can’t find a wife when he grows up?"

"Who says so?" she was greatly unconvinced, "Did his mom fail to find a boyfriend? Not only did she find one! She even successfully snagged the man of her dreams after twenty years!"

He burst into laughter in the car.

Indeed! It had been twenty years, hadn’t it...
