Chapter 674: Only Women Can Carry on the Family Line

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mumu was very obedient in front of Qin Junshan.

He opened his mouth and took the fruit. His cheeks were puffed up as he chewed.

Qin Junshan looked at Mumu with a dazed expression.

After a while, he sighed, “Perhaps I could be luckier than your Grandpa and could even live to see the day when four generations lived together.”

Ji Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and stared blankly at Qin Junshan.

“Father, why are you saying this?” Cheng Shuqin immediately asked. “You’ve made the children uncomfortable for no reason.”

Qin Junshan smiled and waved at Mumu, “Come, let’s go fishing together.”

Mumu ran forward, and Qin Junshan pulled him into his arms and placed the fishing rod in his hand.

Cheng Shuqin saw Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes were red and immediately waved at her, “Yuanyuan, come here. Auntie Wu gave you a bird’s nest.”

Qin Mucheng patted her shoulder, “Go ahead. Grandpa and I will look after Mumu outside.”

Ji Yuanyuan nodded and strode into the house.

After Ji Yuanyuan entered the house, Qin Mucheng moved to Qin Junshan’s side and sat down.

Three people and a dog were tranquil.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the calm surface of the water.

Qin Junshan immediately pulled back his rod, “Quick, see. The fish is hooked.”

The fish were all pulled up, and Mumu’s eyes widened in excitement.

Qin Mucheng stood at the side and looked at Qin Junshan’s satisfied expression. His heart was like the surface of water, rippling.

He wondered if Yuanyuan insisted on having a child so urgently because of his grandfather.

His grandfather’s health had been deteriorating over the past few years. Although he did not want to admit it, his grandfather might really sleep forever one night.

Just like Yuanyuan’s grandfather.

Yuanyuan naturally noticed this as well and knew how much Grandfather yearned for a great-grandson. That was why she got pregnant despite the opposition of her entire family.

At this thought, Qin Mucheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Naturally, Ji Yuanyuan did not know that Qin Mucheng had misunderstood her motive and was even touched.

At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa and drinking the bird’s nest stewed by Auntie Wu. She was delighted.

“How’s your mother’s mood? Is she alright?” Cheng Shuqin asked with concern.

“She’s fine. My aunt and two uncles are there.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.

Cheng Shuqin sighed, “Having more brothers and sisters is better. Look at your Dad. He’s all alone. He has to take care of everything in the family.”

Ji Yuanyuan blinked and deliberately joked with Cheng Shuqin to ease the atmosphere, “Mom, are you hinting at something?”

Cheng Shuqin was stunned, “What?”

Soon, she came back to her senses and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Don’t say that. You and Mucheng can discuss how many children you have.” “Even if it’s just one?” Ji Yuanyuan probed.

Cheng Shuqin could not help but laugh, “Of course, you can. Didn’t I only give birth to Mucheng? Your father and grandfather didn’t say anything.”

“What if it’s a girl?” Ji Yuanyuan asked again.

Cheng Shuqin smiled, “It’s best if it’s a girl. Your father and I don’t have a daughter in our lives. We’ve always dreamed of having a granddaughter.”

Ji Yuanyuan blinked and did not say anything. She just touched her belly, which was not showing.

Cheng Shuqin reacted and looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise, “Don’t tell me you think your father and I favor boys over girls?”

Ji Yuanyuan smiled in embarrassment.

People like Cheng Shuqin’s generation would favor boys over girls more or less.

After all, tradition was there.

Cheng Shuqin smiled and shook her head, “In fact, only women could really carry on the family line. Only women could pass on their mitochondria.”

Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised. She did not expect her mother-in-law’s consciousness to be so advanced.

“Of course, even so, it’s not right to favor women over men. They were all children of the same family. No matter if they were male or female, they should be treated the same. Only then would it be fair.”

Ji Yuanyuan nodded in agreement, “Mom, what you said makes sense. I was too narrow-minded just now.”

“Hurry up and finish it while it’s still hot,” Cheng Shuqin said with a smile.

Ji Yuanyuan lowered her head and slowly drank the bird’s nest.

During the day, Mumu had been playing happily with Qin Junshan. He did not cry or make a fuss.

In the evening, he was still a little reluctant when Gong Wenbai came to pick him up.

After getting into the car, he even insisted that Gong Wenbai roll down the car window before they left.

He leaned against the car window and looked at Qin Mucheng unhappily, “You promised to buy me toys, but you didn’t buy them.”

When Gong Wenbai heard this, he reprimanded him in a low voice, “Gong Xiangyu, don’t be rude and call me Brother-in-law.”

Mumu felt a little wronged, but he still called him ‘Brother-in-law,’ “Brother-in-law, you promised to buy me toys, but you didn’t buy them.”

Gong Wenbai looked at his adorable son and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He raised his hand and patted his son’s head, coaxing him, “Daddy will take you there now. I’ll buy you whatever you want, okay?”

“No, he promised me.” Mumu shook his head.

Gong Wenbai frowned and was about to speak when Qin Mucheng said, “I’m sorry, I forgot today. Can I bring you to buy it tomorrow?”

Mumu nodded in satisfaction as if he had finally gotten the answer he wanted.

“Alright, I’ll come back tomorrow morning. You don’t have to pick me up. My father will send me over.”

With that, he rolled up the window.

After Gong Wenbai greeted Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan, he drove Mu Mu away.

Qin Mucheng looked at Ji Yuanyuan and came back to his senses, “Have we all been tricked by Mumu?”

Ji Yuanyuan smiled and touched Qin Mucheng’s face, “Yeah, the great President Qin was tricked by a four-year-old kid. Actually, he just wanted to come back tomorrow to play.”

Qin Mucheng smiled helplessly, “I’m so envious.”

“What?” Ji Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow.

“Mumu is so smart. I wonder if our child will be as smart as him in the future.”

“Probably?” Ji Yuanyuan was also a little uncertain.

After all, she and Qin Mucheng were both top students. Their child should not be that stupid.

“But my child, even if he is an idiot, I will still love him.” Qin Mucheng mumbled.

“You’re the idiot. Don’t talk to him. He’ll hear you.”

Mumu was quite obedient, so Li Xu and Li Miao stayed in B City for a few more days.

After Li Zhiming’s first seven days of mourning were over, Ji Zixuan and Huang Weiwei returned with the two of them.

Mumu had stayed in the Qin family for a long time and had developed feelings for Qin Junshan.

Even though Li Miao had returned, he still asked Gong Wenbai to send him over every day to accompany his Grandpa Qin fishing.

In the blink of an eye, half of July had passed.

Ji Yuanyuan’s pregnancy symptoms had come. She vomited everything she ate and was still sleepy even after sleeping more than ten hours daily.

Cheng Shuqin, Aunt Wu, and Xiao Qi spent all their time and effort making delicious food for her every day.

Qin Mucheng’s heart ached for his wife, too. He would go home every day after work.

Although Ji Yuanyuan’s body was tormented, she was quite satisfied in her heart..
