An Junxi reflected on how unreasonable she was being and reluctantly compromised, "Then you must take me next year."
Gu Yikun helped her lie down on the bed. "Next year, let our Mrs. Gu present the top prize. You can do whatever you want."
He indulged her immensely. Before An Junxi fell asleep, she told him, "Honey, Mom knows the baby is a boy."
"I like both boys and girls."
An Junxi saw that he didn't understand what she was implying and felt frustrated. "I wanted to surprise myself, but Mom asked the doctor so quickly."
Gu Yikun noticed the underlying meaning in her words. "Xi Xi, elders tend to be anxious. Mom is trying to change. She can't take care of you while in the United States, so she frequently asks the doctor about your prenatal check-ups."
An Junxi immediately felt less upset. She realized she had been a bit petty.
"Yi Ke, I've been overthinking."
Gu Yikun kissed her hair. "It's okay to overthink. The important thing is to tell me, and not keep it to yourself."
