Chapter 1353: Chapter 1357: The Best Father
“No more nonsense!” Ye Xingbei hamred down decisively: “We’re going to choose wedding gifts for Xiao Qiao and Xiao Mi this weekend, we’ll go together, and you’d better show up!”
Ye Xingbei clenched her fist and shook it in front of his eyes.
“Alright, alright, I’ll definitely go,” Fifth Lord of Gu shalessly wrapped his arm around Ye Xingbei’s shoulders, “Choosing wedding gifts isn’t important, what’s important is accompanying the wife shopping.”
Ye Xingbei glanced at him, “I should’ve recorded this on my phone, let your brothers see this unseemly side of you behind their backs.”
Gu Junzhu lazily hooked her shoulder, his steps and voice both lackadaisical, “When they have wives, they’ll surely be less proper than . Being proper in public, and still having to be proper in private, isn’t that tiring?”
Ye Xingbei: “…”
It seed to make a lot of sense.
But still, sothing felt off!
Children quickly forget, and with a sudden change of topic by Ye Xingbei, Xiao Shumiao quickly forgot about discussing with dad whether mom is going to have a younger brother or sister, and started talking to Lingyue about other things.
Back ho, after getting the two children to sleep, the couple returned to their bedroom.
After taking a bath and lying in bed, Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but ask Gu Junzhu, “The doctor said there is a problem with your health, and there’s a problem with mine too, how co you’re not worried at all? You even argue with Xiao Shu about whether to have a younger brother or sister, what if we can’t conceive at all?”
“How is that possible?” Gu Junzhu stretched out his hand to pull her into his embrace, “It’s just a minor ailnt, which can be treated. How could we possibly not be able to conceive?”
Ye Xingbei shook her head and sighed.
This was probably the difference between her and Fifth Lord of Gu.
Fifth Lord of Gu was always so confident, whereas she was pessimistic, always preparing for the worst.
Lately, she often worried about the possibility that she might never be able to conceive.
Infertility is a common problem now, and advertisents for infertility treatnts are all over TV and the internet.
What if she was one of those cases?
Every ti she thought about it, her heart raced.
How many girls don’t want to beco mothers, to bear a child of their own?
If she truly couldn’t conceive, if she couldn’t give birth, that would be a lifelong regret for her.
Not just for herself, but also for Senior Master Gu.
The better Senior Master Gu treated her, the more she wanted to repay him.
The best repaynt she could give Senior Master Gu would be to add a mber to the Gu Family.
If she could conceive Gu Junzhu’s child now, Senior Master Gu would probably wake up from his dreams laughing.
The Gu Family was ager in numbers. Mi Sheng conceiving Qiao Zui’s child was a cause for joy, but Mi Sheng’s child, after all, would take the Qiao surna.
The feeling of becoming a great-grandfather surely beats that of becoming a great-grandfather-in-law, definitely more joyful and thrilling.
But there’s that saying, the moon waxes and wanes.
In this world, you can’t always get what you want.
She and Gu Junzhu had a relatively smooth journey up to this point, yet encountered frustration with sothing as significant as having children.
Deep down, Ye Xingbei was actually quite saddened.
Gu Junzhu, seeing that she remained silent for a long ti, looked down at her and saw her staring blankly at a point, lost in thought.
Guessing what she was thinking, Gu Junzhu gently stroked her back, “Don’t worry your pretty head! We’ll definitely have our own children. But even if we don’t, it doesn’t matter. My dad is not an antiquated man, obsessed with bloodline succession or anything like that. If we can give him a grandson, he’d be happy, of course, but if we can’t, he won’t hold a grudge. When my dad adopted my two foster brothers, he used to say, ‘To respect the old is to consider them as my own parents, to cherish the young is to consider them as my own children.'”
