"What's good about it? Really, what's good? Sister Shengxuan said childbirth is incredibly painful; I don't want to have kids."
In the past, You Xiaoxiao often pretended to cry, and as she cried, Tang Rao got used to it. He could even tell when You Xiaoxiao was sincerely crying and when she was pretending, judging her true feelings by the intensity of her cries.
This time, she probably was truly crying.
But even if she was really crying, Tang Rao couldn't just follow You Xiaoxiao's whims; there was a life inside her, and it was his offspring.
"Xiao Xiao, you're going to be a mother soon. You'll have a son as adorable as Xiao Bai; shouldn't that make you happy?"
Tang Xiaobai? Tang Rao originally didn't want to mention Tang Xiaobai. Fortunately, he was his own child; if he were someone else's, Tang Rao wouldn't care at all.
Who would have thought Tang Xiaobai constantly made Tang Rao angry, yet somehow managed to make the women around Tang Rao laugh uncontrollably, fond of him.
Considering how You Xiaoxiao liked Tang Xiaobai almost like he was her own son, Tang Rao wouldn't use Tang Xiaobai as an example.
"But it's painful, and I don't want to endure pain. I'm terrified of pain in my life."
You Xiaoxiao pouted; while she didn't want pain, thinking about having a son as cute as Tang Xiaobai made her happy and satisfied. She soon fell into a dilemma, not even considering that, even if she didn't want this child, there was no way to take the child out of her belly.
"You can't just avoid having kids because you're afraid of the pain. Besides, our family's Jin Jin is a Divine Doctor; if she helps you deliver, you definitely won't suffer. Even if you don't trust me, you should trust our Jin Jin, right?"
Tang Rao used emotion and reason, discussing childbearing with You Xiaoxiao.
"Tang Rao, there's something I need to clarify with you and Xiao Xiao first."
Wen Jinjin said this with a complex feeling in her heart, not knowing how to express her emotions on her face.
She could guarantee that after hearing the news, Tang Rao would also have the same heavy emotions as Wen Jinjin.
"What's the matter?"
You Xiaoxiao was already crying, almost without strength, but she forced herself to pay attention, afraid she would miss a word from Wen Jinjin.
"It's not a big issue, but not small either. Actually, there are two inside Xiao Xiao's belly."
Wen Jinjin only delivered the news; the rest was up to Tang Rao and You Xiaoxiao to comprehend.
"What? Two? How is that possible?"
It was like a bolt from the blue; originally thinking it was one, she felt as if the sky was falling. Now, suddenly being told she had two inside, You Xiaoxiao was almost frightened into fainting.
"Indeed, there are two."
Wen Jinjin was quite confident about this diagnosis.
"How could it be? I can't be that unlucky. Sister Jin Jin, can you check again for me, just in case there's a mistake?"
You Xiaoxiao still held onto a bit of hope, but Wen Jinjin's medical skills were renowned across the North Island; she simply wouldn't allow herself to make such a low-level mistake.
"True, how could you make such a simple diagnosis error?"
You Xiaoxiao actually understood it; she was just causing trouble for herself.
"Xiao Xiao, these are twins, maybe a boy and a girl. Two daughters would be the best—give birth, and I'll give you anything you want!"
Don't blame Tang Rao for favoring You Xiaoxiao. He was just too delighted, so he acted this way. Anyone who wasn't happy could also carry twins like You Xiaoxiao, and Tang Rao would treat them to the same standards.
"Really? You said as long as I give birth, you'll give me anything I want?"
You Xiaoxiao thought she heard wrong.
She wasn't unaware of how much trouble she normally caused. It was fortunate that she didn't create chaos for Tang Rao as things stood. She always knew she wasn't Tang Rao's favorite. To become the most favored one because of a promise linked to the children, to be the first person to make Tang Rao promise personally, she should be happy, not reject this outright.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever broken my word to you all?"
Indeed, Tang Rao's words were consistent and always valid.
"Alright then, remember, you owe me a promise."
The two children were quietly inside her belly; Tang Rao wouldn't let You Xiaoxiao suffer grievances for just one promise. He could still afford that.
"No problem, take good care of our son and daughter. Don't let our son and daughter suffer."
You Xiaoxiao was dizzy from the news of twins, just thinking about it kept him from sleeping.
"What, Xiao Xiao's pregnant? And with two?"
Not long after Tang Rao learned of this, his best girlfriends quickly heard this big news too.
"Of course, it's two kids. Back then Sheng Xuan suffered greatly with just one; now, just imagining two makes me feel the pain."
Everyone, whether they'd had children or not, joined in the discussion.
"Yes, when I gave birth to Xiao Bai, it was really hard. I wonder if Xiao Xiao can endure?"
Even at this point, Sheng Xuan hadn't overcome the painful experience, so you could imagine how much it affected her.
"You shouldn't transfer these feelings to Xiao Xiao; she's already timid. If you scare her and she doesn't dare have the baby, who will take responsibility?"
Though Wang Han wasn't with Tang Rao for long, she understood his temperament quite well. Children were always his top priority, regardless of who carried them. He was determined to see them born, and anyone standing in the way wouldn't fare well.
"I'm not saying anything, and I dare not say anything."
The first to speak was Bai Xiaotong, Tang Rao's close aunt. She surrendered first, unwilling to say anything that might irritate Tang Rao, sparing him from finding her annoying.
"I don't dare either."
"Of course, if none of you dare, I won't even mention it."
...
Wang Han looked around and saw none of them dared say anything, greatly easing her concerns.
As the Manager, she cared deeply about the harmony and unity among the sisters.
"Didn't I send Jin Qiao and Yin Qiao to find attendants for you lately? Those attendants are scheduled to report this afternoon, and each person should be assigned two. Given that Xiao Xiao is pregnant, I will temporarily assign four to her. These four will also assist as Xiao Xiao raises the children, whereas Sheng Xuan, having a child, maintains the four-to-one ratio. Do any of you have objections?"
Wang Han intended to discuss this today. Now that everyone was present and the topic of Xiao Xiao's childbirth came up, she didn't hesitate to announce her previous plans.
