Back Then, I Adored You

In the middle of speaking, Gu Yusheng paused for a while, then turned around to look at Qin Zhi’ai, asking, “Which one would you prefer, a boy or a girl?”

Not waiting for Qin Zhi’ai to answer his question, Gu Yusheng expressed his own opinion. “I would prefer a girl.

“Girls are more well-behaved, sensible, and considerate. When they grow up, they’re also less worrisome… not like boys. Boys are so rebellious that their parents can’t control them, and parents will worry also about them fighting, which could be big trouble… But girls could also be more worrying if I’m afraid that she’ll be bullied or played by bad boys.

“But it doesn’t matter… I’ll protect our daughter so that she won’t be bullied by anyone. She’ll be born a little princess…

“I’ll build a nursery, a toy room, a painting room, a music room in the empty room with a piano on the third floor… Um… if she’s interested in dancing, a dance studio will be necessary…”

Listening to Gu Yusheng’s words, Qin Zhhi’ai’s mind immediately flashed to pictures of what he described.

The child hasn’t even been born yet, but he has thought about the things that will happen after they’re born. Does this mean that he really loves children?

He kept saying “we,” a beautiful word, but when she heard that word, she could only feel hurt, because, the “we” in his mouth referred to Gu Yusheng and Liang Doukou; he had no relationship with Qin Zhi’ai. Even the children he was imagining now would be from Liang Doukou, not Qin Zhi’ai.

“There’s an open space behind our villa. I’ve decided… If we really have a daughter, I’d ask someone to build a castle there to for her to play in…”

Gu Yusheng was still talking, while Qin Zhi’ai didn’t want to listen to him. When Gu Yusheng finished what he was saying and was finally silent, she attempted to change the topic. However, Gu Yusheng tilted his head slightly, and she asked her again before she spoke, “How about you? Do you want our children to be boys or girls?”

Our children… He’s only imagining a child from Liang Doukou that isn’t even real, so am I self-willed and selfish enough to change his vision into Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai?

Just let it be a dream that I deluded myself into believing. Anyway, there will be no such opportunities in the future.

Holding her silence for a little while, Qin Zhi’ai raised her head and smiled at Gu Yusheng softly, answering his question, “I hope we could have a boy.”

A boy who looks like you…

“Boys don’t suffer losses easily. When he grows up, he can protect me… More importantly, if you want two children, I don’t want the first one to be an older sister, because I want to have a daughter who will get not only the protection of her father, but also the protection of her brother…”

In Qin Zhi’ai’s heart, she was fantasizing several scenes of her and Gu Yusheng with children. She thought she could say it all in a relaxed tone, but she had just said few words when she couldn’t continue with anything more.

She was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions if she continued, so she pretended to have finished speaking and stopped there.

“Well, if we have two children, it seems like a pretty good idea…” Gu Yusheng imagined a future so beautiful that he thought it had to become a reality. With curved eyebrows, he led her forward in silence for a little while. Thinking that she hadn’t promised to have a child with him yet, he urged again, “So, little troublemaker? We’re ready to have children, right?”
