Jia Bao's words finally made Cheng Xue laugh.
"You're always saying nice things," Cheng Xue smiled with her eyes curving like crescent moons. After having a good cry and venting, her heart seemed to open up and become brighter...
"No, I'm telling the truth." Jia Bao held her tighter, his chin gently rubbing against her forehead. "Xiao Xue, marrying you and being with you every day makes me feel incredibly happy. Now that you're expecting a baby, we are going to become parents. We will soon be a family of three."
Jia Bao didn't notice that when he mentioned the baby, Cheng Xue's body tensed slightly.
He continued expressing his inner happiness, "Just thinking about a soft little baby calling me Dad fills me with energy. I look forward every day to coming home to be with you both sooner..."
Cheng Xue buried her face even deeper into his embrace, smelling the faint scent of soap on him, her heart feeling a bit sour.
She said sullenly, "Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?"
