The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!
Chapter 241 - Chapter 241 Chapter 241 Are There Still Men in This World Who

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Are There Still Men in This World Who Prefer Daughters Over Sons? Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Are There Still Men in This World Who Prefer Daughters Over Sons? Yeah, a lot of the time, pride can’t fill your stomach.

Li Wanru hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding her head.

At night, after much thought, she still made a call to Lin Qi: “Hello? Have you eaten yet?”

Lin Qi said, “I’ve just been busy, haven’t yet. Have you guys eaten?”

Li Wanru replied, “None of us have eaten yet, we were wondering if you are free to join us for dinner. But as you know, it’s our first time coming to the city, and we’re not familiar with the place, so we don’t know which restaurant to choose?”

Lin Qi said, “You guys wait for me at the hotel, I’ll pick you up in a bit and we’ll go to eat together.”

“Okay.”

Half an hour later.

Lin Qi arrived at the hotel with Momo and Han.

She had asked Huo Tingdong for a car, with the company’s license plate, a Mercedes-Benz.

When Jin Lilai saw the Mercedes emblem, his eyes lit up: “Whose car is this?”

Lin Qi responded, “I… I borrowed it.”

Jin Lilai replied, “I thought it was your husband’s.”

Lin Qi hurriedly explained, “I didn’t get a chance to explain before, he’s my ex-husband. However, we are considering getting back together.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Lilai looked towards Li Wanru.

Li Wanru said, “If you’ve decided to get remarried, then isn’t he ‘husband’ too?”

After she finished speaking, she kept staring at Han and Momo.

The more she looked at the two little guys, the cuter they seemed.

She really liked children, but she herself was incompetent, unable to give birth to a son. Jin Lilai’s words echoed in her ears, and she wavered, not knowing if her sister Lin Qi would agree to let her adopt her son.

Jin Lilai had been pondering this with her all afternoon.

If she could persuade Lin Qi to let her adopt a son, there would be plenty of benefits down the line.

Even though the son would be adopted by them, whether it was Han or Momo, their biological father Huo Tingdong was very wealthy.

Huo Tingdong would surely leave an equal amount of assets to these two sons.

Then, not only would they have a son to rely on in their old age, but once the son inherited the property, they would be able to live a life of luxury.

Adoption was just a formality; what they really coveted was the inheritance the two sons would receive in the future.

Perhaps their biological father wouldn’t bear to have them move back to the countryside with them. It’s possible that he would set them up with a house in the city, and with more interactions between the two families, they could leech off their wealthy brother-in-law for the rest of their lives.

Jin Lilai’s plans were in place.

Lin Qi just smiled and didn’t explain too much, only asking, “What would you like to eat?”

Li Wanru replied, “Anything is fine; you decide.”

Lin Qi nodded.

She reserved a restaurant and got them all in the car.

Jin Lilai originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but Lin Qi said to him, “You sit in the back, let your wife sit in the front.”

Hearing this, he felt quite embarrassed, yet still forcefully said, “She gets car sick in the front. Let her sit in the back.”

So, he unceremoniously took the passenger seat.

Imitating what he saw on TV, he leisurely leaned back in the soft seat, and Lin Qi reminded him, “Remember to fasten your seat belt.”

Jin Lilai: “Oh!”

Li Wanru and the two children sat in the back.

Lin Qi felt somewhat uncomfortable, thinking Jin Lilai was too presumptuous. She had no good impression of this man.

But she still suppressed it.

Once they reached the restaurant and the car stopped at the entrance, Jin Lilai got out and saw it was just an ordinary restaurant, not particularly upscale or a star-rated hotel, and he was slightly dissatisfied.

Lin Qi, throughout, didn’t look at his face, and had the waiter lead them into a private room before she went to the front to order.

Jin Lilai muttered to Li Wanru, “She sneakily orders without letting us, surely because she’s afraid we’ll order expensive dishes. Your sister is quite stingy!”

Li Wanru whispered, “She probably doesn’t have much money; it’s mainly her husband who is wealthy.”

Momo’s ears twitched. He overheard their whispered conversation and disdainfully rolled his eyes.

Li Wanru looked at Han and asked, “You’re Han, right?”

Han nodded, “Yeah.”

Li Wanru then turned to Momo, “Then you must be Momo.”

Momo’s face was cold and impassive as he nodded, seemingly ignoring them.

Li Wanru turned back to Han. Compared to Momo, she preferred Han. Momo’s features were delicate and handsome, while Han’s face still had baby fat, a milk dumpling at 7 years old, supremely adorable. She couldn’t help but engage Han in more conversation: “Han, do you like Daddy or Mommy more?”

Han replied without hesitation, “I like Mommy.”

Seeing that Han was willing to talk, Li Wanru was even more delighted, “Which grade are you in at elementary school?”

Han said, “About to start second grade.”

Li Wanru asked, “Would you like to come play at your aunt’s house?”

Han wasn’t very willing, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Compared to the detached Momo, Han was relatively gentle, only tactfully saying, “I want to stay with Mommy. Where Mommy goes, I go.”

Li Wanru beamed, “If Mommy comes to play at your aunt’s house, you must come with Mommy, okay?”

Han agreed readily, “Okay.”

Li Wanru’s affection grew, and she couldn’t resist asking, “Can auntie give you a hug?”

Han was somewhat reluctant.

Just then, Lin Qi came in and saw Li Wanru entertaining Han. She sat down next to Han, between him and Li Wanru, “I’ve already ordered the food; it should suit your tastes.”

She had chosen the restaurant’s specialties.

Jin Lilai asked, “Where’s your brother-in-law? Why don’t I see him?”

Lin Qi replied, “He’s always very busy. He has another meeting later tonight and can’t make it.”

Jin Lilai inquired, “Is he the boss of the company or a senior executive?”

Lin Qi answered, “He’s in charge of several companies; the specifics, I’m not too clear on.”

Li Wanru wondered, “Are you two not getting along well?”

Lin Qi asked, “Why would you say that?”

Li Wanru said, “It’s just a feeling. It doesn’t seem like you two are close, not like other couples.”

Jin Lilai added, “Exactly, no matter what, you have relatives over, and he doesn’t even ask about it. You probably don’t get treated well by your in-laws either!”

Li Wanru disagreed, “How could that be? No matter what, my sister has given birth to two sons for them, how could the in-laws not value her?”

Lin Qi said, “Even if I hadn’t given birth to sons, if I had daughters, he would still be happy. He doesn’t care so much about whether they are boys or girls.”

But Li Wanru refused to believe it.

In this world, could there really be a man who does not prefer sons over daughters, who doesn’t want sons more than daughters?
