When Yu Lili heard that, her heart skipped a beat . The wound that had long been buried deep was suddenly being dug up again .
Both their hands were clutched together . When Yu Lili had a slight movement, Ou Ming was able to sense it clearly .
Chuckling, Ou Ming said, “How nice would it have been if it had been two girls?”
“Ou Ming…” Yu Lili was hesitant .
“Yeah,” he said .
“I’m sorry,” Yu Lili felt her heart hurt . She squeezed his hand tightly, “I should have told you then . ”
“The two children would not have been kept either way, isn’t that so?” Ou Ming held her hand gently . “It’s just such a pity . They were my first kids . In the future, you’ll have to be pregnant with triplets to make up for it . ”
When she heard the word ‘triplets’, Yu Lili burst out in giggles and scolded, “Do you think I’m a pig?”
“Get pregnant three times then . The first will be a girl, the second will be a boy, and the third will be a set of twins,” he said .
“That makes it four children,” she said .
“Yeah . Let’s have four children then . Regardless, the more the merrier,” Ou Ming said .
“I don’t want to give birth so many times! I heard giving birth is very painful,” Yu Lili said .
“The pain will be over soon enough . Just treat it like it’s acupuncture,” Ou Ming said .
“It’s not that simple! You’re such a chauvinist indeed,” Yu Lili said . “Do you know how much it hurts to give birth?”
“Do you?” he asked .
“I don’t want to find out,” Yu Lili said .
“It doesn’t matter . I bet those women were all exaggerating the pain they experienced . It shouldn’t be that bad,” Ou Ming said .
“There’s no smoke without a fire . If it wasn’t real, how could they be so confident about it?” Yu Lili asked .
“They are just out to poison people’s minds and lie to the men . ” Ou Ming sounded very sure of himself .
Yu Lili stared daggers at him . “Chauvinist*!”
“Yeah . Well, I can’t help but be a straight man* . If I weren’t straight, I’d be gay . ” Ou Ming smiled until his eyes became slits . He brought her over toward him and lowered his voice . “Don’t worry . I’ll always be a straight man . I always be wanting to sleep with you at all times . ”
Yu Lili blew a fuse . She stuck her index finger out and pointed right at his face . “Not only are you a chauvinist, you’re also a lecher and a huge pervert!”
“How could you say that about your man? You’re deliberately provoking a straight man . ” Ou Ming maintained a somber expression as he moved his face right in front of Yu Lili’s . “The consequences will be very dire, little girl . ”
“Great Mr . Ou, this is a hospital,” Yu Lili said .
“Why do you think you’re still able to remain seated?” Ou Ming suppressed his voice as he spoke, but he ended the question with a playful yelp . That charm of it began to excite Yu Lili .
She pushed his face away and said, “You’re injured to this extent, and you’re still such a rascal . You’re a really dedicated one!”
“Well said!” Ou Ming closed their proximity and planted a kiss on her face . “A rascal never forgets his nature . That’s a good character trait . ”
Just as Yu Lili was about to retort, she realized that the twin who had run past them earlier was now running toward them .
Yu Lili felt her face heat up . “The little kids are here . Watch your actions . ”
The twins were chasing each other happily and noisily, throwing the cloth doll back and forth . They were very energetic .
Ou Ming released Yu Lili and felt his spirits lift immeasurably at hearing the little kids play and laugh . The atmosphere in the garden was comfortable and beautiful .
The two girls were still running around happily when one of them suddenly stopped short . Her complexion took on a deathly hue .
The child in front had stopped and turned around . “Older Sister!” she called out .
The other child didn’t continue running for long . Her steps slowed down as she yelled, “Mom…”
*The Chinese term for ‘chauvinist’ and ‘straight man’ are the same . The meaning of the word will depend on the context it’s used in .
