At night, in a hot pot restaurant, Tong Le deliberately chose a bustling, trendy spot, filled with a lively atmosphere and rising steam.
The three of them sat around a round table: Tong Le, Ke Wenjie, and Lan Qingqing. Tong Le enthusiastically served food to Lan Qingqing, smiling brightly. "If I hadn't heard that you're pregnant, how long would you have kept this news from us?"
Tong Le pretended to be excited. "Just think about it! Both of us are pregnant at the same time. Once the babies are born, if we have a boy and a girl, we should arrange a betrothal!"
As soon as these words left her mouth, Ke Wenjie, who had been eating, suddenly coughed violently. This was undoubtedly a significant blunder in human biology; both women were carrying their own flesh and blood, yet they were talking about arranging marriages for their unborn children!
Ke Wenjie felt awkward. "Let's forget about the betrothal; it's not like we're living in ancient times."
Lan Qingqing also forced a smile. "Right? What if we end up having children of the same gender?"
She turned to Tong Le and asked, "By the way, do you hope to have a boy or a girl?"
Tong Le thought for a moment and pretended to say something she didn't truly believe. "Of course I want a boy! Having a son is important for carrying on the family line; my mother-in-law expects me to have one! A boy can inherit Ke Wenjie's business, while girls just get married."
After saying this, Tong Le felt guilty in her heart. She wasn't someone who favored boys over girls! She loved both boys and girls equally. Regardless of whether she had children in the future or what gender they were, she would give everything to her child. A boy could grow up to be a man or a gentle artist; a girl could become a fairy or an independent career woman.
All she hoped for was that when she had her own children, they could live carefree lives.
The reason she made such an off-putting comment was purely to send mixed signals to Lan Qingqing and disrupt her mindset.
Lan Qingqing nodded thoughtfully. "Then I guess my mother-in-law hopes I have a boy too."
Tong Le seized the opportunity to continue the conversation. "You still haven't told us who your boyfriend is! You've been keeping it secret for so long that even I didn't know until now!"
Lan Qingqing laughed. "Oh, I just thought the timing wasn't right to share that yet. Besides, I never expected to get pregnant so soon. Next time, I'll bring him out and introduce him to you!"
Throughout the meal, Ke Wenjie didn't say a word; he quietly cooked food in the hot pot and occasionally served some to Tong Le.
These small gestures did not go unnoticed by Lan Qingqing, who felt increasingly displeased. She tried several times to send Ke Wenjie subtle glances and even went so far as to discreetly nudge his groin with her foot under the table.
