Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Why are you panicking if you’re not the thief? Chapter 509: Chapter 509: Why are you panicking if you’re not the thief? Shi Xiaolan was not a petty person, so when she heard what An Jing said, she asked, “What are you talking about? Tell , I won’t get angry.”
An Jing then explained, “Initially, everyone thought Niuniu would be a boy, but what was the result? Therefore, one really shouldn’t jump to conclusions before the child is born. I’m not saying that the boys in my belly are guaranteed to be boys, I just wanted to tell you not to make hasty conclusions.”
Shi Xiaolan, thinking of her own initial belief that her Niuniu would be a boy, had a lot of feelings but still nodded in agreent, “You make sense.”
An Jing glanced at Xiao Changyi, who was in the kitchen, then continued, “Actually, it doesn’t matter to whether I have sons or daughters, my husband and I will be happy either way.”
Considering that An Jing was initially unable to conceive and now that she could, no matter the gender, it felt like a windfall to Shi Xiaolan, who nodded again in agreent, “Having children is always better than none.”
Just then, soone knocked on the courtyard door, accompanied by a woman’s voice, “Is Sister An Jing and Brother Xiao at ho? I’m An Fu’s wife.”
Last October, An Fu had married a new wife, Mrs. Gong.
Upon hearing it was Mrs. Gong, Shi Xiaolan felt slightly embarrassed and wanted to hide but was stopped by An Jing.
“What are you panicking for, you’re not a thief,” An Jing didn’t like Shi Xiaolan acting this way and being a friend, spoke her mind directly. “This is my ho, and today you are my guest here, so just sit comfortably.”
Shi Xiaolan thought it over and felt her reaction had been a bit much; she was divorced from An Fu and had no relation to him anymore, so there was no reason to fear encountering An Fu’s wife.
So, Shi Xiaolan followed An Jing’s suggestion, didn’t hide, and continued to sit, taking care of Niuniu in her arms and looking after Yu Yu, who was still eating sugar cake.
Xiao Changyi also heard Mrs. Gong’s voice and initially, while chopping vegetables, he stopped, put down the knife, and strode out, fearing that his wife might encounter trouble facing a stranger alone.
His wife was heavily pregnant and even if she was skilled, she could not be compared to her pre-pregnancy state. He still preferred to be by her side, ready to handle any trouble physically if necessary.
At most, his wife would just need to use her words.
Upon seeing Xiao Changyi walking towards her with big strides, An Jing showed a brilliant smile instantly.
“Husband~” An Jing called out sweetly.
Xiao Changyi didn’t say anything, he just checked on An Jing first, seeing that she was in a good mood and nothing was wrong, before he went to open the courtyard door.
Upon seeing Xiao Changyi, Mrs. Gong didn’t expect him to be so imposing. She paused a bit, then, smiling, greeted him, “You must be Brother Xiao, I’m An Fu’s wife, Mrs. Gong.”
Xiao Changyi didn’t even glance at Mrs. Gong, nor did he talk to her. After opening the door, he turned around and walked back towards An Jing.
Mrs. Gong: “…”
An Jing was no longer sitting in the chair but had stood up. As soon as Xiao Changyi reached her, he took care of her with the utmost caution.
Mrs. Gong didn’t know An Jing and Xiao Changyi but did know Shi Xiaolan. She had seen Shi Xiaolan selling tofu with An Fu before, so even if Xiao Changyi wasn’t holding An Jing, she would’ve been able to tell which one was An Jing.
However, seeing Shi Xiaolan in the courtyard caught Mrs. Gong off guard, as she had not expected to encounter Shi Xiaolan there.
