Chapter 529: Chapter 529: I Really Think You’re Overthinking It_1

After Doctor Jiang and Meng Zhuqing had left, An Jing looked at Xiao Changyi again, and Xiao Changyi looked back at her. The two gazed at each other in silence, neither speaking.

Finally, An Jing couldn’t help but tease, "What’s the matter, afraid I’ll really give birth to several babies this time?"

Xiao Changyi responded with a counter-question, "Jing Er, if we really do have several babies this time, shall we let the old man take care of them?"

An Jing: "..."

After remaining silent for quite a while, An Jing finally said, half laughing and half crying, "You clearly agreed that we would take care of the children ourselves. How can you go back on your word?"

"Several..." Xiao Changyi paused for a long time before he continued, "That’s too many..."

"Pfft." An Jing laughed out loud. "If there really are several babies in my belly, they’d be heartbroken to hear you say this. What kind of father says things like that?"

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

But An Jing could still clearly sense that Xiao Changyi was not in a good mood, so she reassured him, "Come on, I’m not really pregnant with several. Stop worrying over nothing. We can’t be that lucky to have so many children all at once."

Xiao Changyi: "..."

After waiting for a good while and seeing that Xiao Changyi was still silent, An Jing had no choice but to soothe him again, "My dear, although I know you’re concerned that too many children will prevent us from having our own world together, that possibility is really very slim. It might even be downright impossible. You should know, no woman in your family has ever had several babies at once. It has never happened in history; at most, twins, and now I am a person of this world... My dear, I really think you’re worrying too much."

Xiao Changyi still didn’t speak, just gazed at An Jing’s pregnant belly. Just because it didn’t happen before didn’t mean it wouldn’t happen in the future—perhaps his wife really was...

Seeing that Xiao Changyi was still downcast, An Jing didn’t know whether to feel sweet or angry.

"My dear!" An Jing suddenly straightened her face and feigned anger. "The child in my belly is yours and mine. No matter how many there are, shouldn’t you be happy? Even though I understand why you feel this way, seeing you like this can easily make me mistake it for disdain for our children! You know as well, pregnant women can easily overthink things! And easily doubt their own thoughts! You’re making me upset, do you realize that?"

Actually, Xiao Changyi didn’t disdain his and An Jing’s child at all. He just didn’t want their children to disturb the couple’s life together. Listening to An Jing mention disdain again and saying that he was upsetting her, he didn’t want her to be upset at all.

Therefore, he immediately wrapped his arms around her gently, letting her lean into his embrace while speaking up, "You know I’m not disdaining them. How could I possibly disdain our children? I’m just having some trouble accepting the thought. Give me some time to adjust."

Then looking at her pregnant belly, he said, "No matter how many you give birth to, just in case, I should still prepare two more cradles and two more nannies."

No matter how many there were, he definitely wouldn’t let the children sleep between him and his wife.

An Jing understood the deeper meaning in Xiao Changyi’s words and found it both amusing and sweet.

Of course, it was mostly sweet.

And for that reason, An Jing finally smiled again, nodding happily at Xiao Changyi without saying anything else, "Mm!"

By the time Xiao Changyi had prepared the cradles and nurses, the cotton seedlings in the domed nursery had grown tall enough to be transplanted.
