Stealing Your Heart Chapter 221

Cheng Yuxiu didn’t hesitate to answer, “I want a girl.”

Boys were too much to handle, while girls tend to be gentle and caring. Many people have said that girls bring warmth and joy to their parents, and Cheng Yuxiu could see why.

Boys were not as meticulous as girls.

She really wanted a girl.

Bai Hongfei had asked her the same question as well, and she had given him the same answer. “I’d better have a daughter this life,” she told him.

However, reality turned out the opposite of what she wanted.

Wen Xian scooped some food into her bowl. “Me too, but I was hoping that your child will be a boy.”

Wealthy families had always wanted sons over daughters. Even though time had changed and gender equality was the talk of the century, boys were still the preferred choice when it comes to inheriting large family businesses.

Cheng Yuxiu understood what she meant, yet she couldn’t bring herself to say so. “I can’t promise you that it will be a boy,” she said with her head hung low.

“Are you dumb?” Wen Xian said, laughing. “I’m just saying. No need to feel pressured.”

The days where the woman gets blamed for not producing children of a preferred gender were long gone.

Zong Qifeng put down his chopsticks and left the table. He wondered why Wen Xian acted more like the child’s father than he did.

He felt like a sore thumb in this family.

During mealtimes, the two women chatted away, leaving him alone and lonely.

He was puzzled.

Both Wen Xian and Cheng Yuxiu looked at him.

“I think he’s mad at something,” Cheng Yuxiu said.

Wen Xian seemed to understand, but she didn’t call him out. “Maybe it’s some work-related issues.”

Cheng Yuxiu nodded.

At night.

Zong Qifeng had trouble sleeping, and after a while of tossing of turning, he got up to go downstairs, where he saw Cheng Yuxiu getting something to drink. Looking at her slender silhouette beside the table, he wondered how she still didn’t look pregnant at all despite being almost three months into her pregnancy.
