Su Hongxing nodded in agreement, "I'd also want a boy. A boy can protect himself. For girls, if they're unlucky and meet a fickle man, their lives could be ruined."
The speaker means nothing, but the listener reads between the lines.
Ye Qilan felt Su Hongxing's words were insinuating his unfaithfulness. Su Hongxing was merely expressing her inner worries. She caressed her belly, softly murmuring, "But this world is so filthy, it might be better not to come into it..."
Ye Qilan didn't hear her clearly, and asked, "What did you just say?"
As if awakening from a dream, Su Hongxing shook her head and replied, "Nothing. Just thinking that today's weather is so good, wondering if tomorrow will also be as bright. You're getting engaged tomorrow, and as I'm pregnant, I won't be there to congratulate you. How about this? You keep your phone on, and I'll call you to give my blessing at your engagement."
Ye Qilan lowered his gaze, saying nothing.
