Ansel deflated. "How come it’s another little brother... Mommy, next time you have to give me a little sister."
Jian Yufei really wanted to say, this is a little sister.
Unfortunately, Ruan Tianling kept squeezing her hand, just not letting her speak.
"Yufei, did you take any pictures of the baby? Bring them over and let us see." Ruan Anguo asked.
Jian Yufei hurriedly handed them the bag in her hand. "Yes, Grandpa, here you go."
Ruan Anguo took it and pulled out the photos inside.
The ultrasound was a half-body shot, so you couldn’t see the gender.
Mother Ruan and Father Ruan leaned in, staring at the little bean sprout on the image.
"Oh, this child looks pretty delicate," Mother Ruan’s eyesight was better.
Father Ruan laughed. "Looks more like Yufei."
"Really? I wanna see too." Ansel was instantly interested, and Junqi was up on tiptoe wanting to look as well.
While they were all focused on the pictures, Ruan Tianling took the chance to pull Jian Yufei upstairs.
Back in the bedroom, Jian Yufei asked in confusion, "Why didn’t you tell them the truth?"
Ruan Tianling swung his hand back and shut the door.
He stepped forward and wrapped her in his arms, lowering his head to kiss her a few times. "No way I’m telling the truth."
"Why not?"
Ruan Tianling chuckled. "If they knew it was a girl, they’d definitely be fighting me every day. A daughter is mine and mine alone, no one gets to fight me for her."
Jian Yufei: "..."
"You’re doing all this just for that?"
"This is a serious issue. Didn’t you see how much Ansel wants a little sister? If he finds out, will I still stand a chance later?" Ruan Tianling said it with total seriousness.
Jian Yufei couldn’t help laughing. "Childish. The baby’s going to be born sooner or later. Are you going to block them from seeing her then?"
Ruan Tianling said with a smile, "I heard prenatal bonding is the most important. Right now the baby only belongs to you and me, and I’m already very satisfied. Once our daughter is born... I’ll just send those two brats abroad to study."
Jian Yufei looked at him with a half-smile. "Is there still any place for me in this family?"
"Honey, what’s that supposed to mean?"
"You decide everything. I don’t have any standing at all."
Ruan Tianling hurried to make amends. "How could you not have any standing? You’re the queen of this family—whatever you say, goes."
"Good. Then I’m going to go tell them right now that the baby is a girl. I don’t want to lie to them."
Jian Yufei pushed him aside and headed for the door.
Ruan Tianling quickly hugged her from behind. "Wife, this is my special privilege, you can’t take it away from me!"
"But it’s their privilege too. Didn’t you hear Mom say she wants a little granddaughter? And Ansel—he wants a little sister so badly."
Ruan Tianling grumbled, "But they’ll fight me for my daughter."
Jian Yufei turned back and tapped him on the forehead. "Are you in your thirties or thirteen? You’re way too childish."
"Fine, I’m childish. Either way, we can’t tell them. Honey, don’t tell them, okay?"
"No."
Ruan Tianling got unhappy. "I’m the one who made this daughter, they’ve got nothing to do with it, so she can only belong to me alone. Well, and you."
Jian Yufei shook her head—Ruan Tianling was just too childish.
"Not telling them is definitely not an option."
"Wife..." Ruan Tianling deliberately put on a pitiful face. "Can you really bear to let me be all sad and heartbroken?"
Jian Yufei looked at him with utter disgust.
"I really ought to let the whole world see you like this."
In front of outsiders he always put on a cool, aloof act, but in front of her he had zero image left. If other people saw him like this right now, their jaws would definitely hit the floor.
