Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Invitation Amidst Rejection?
How about going on another trip?
Qin Tan thought to himself...
But I just got back from a trip, and there are quite a few things to deal with. Finding time for another one might be hard.
Oh, whatever, I’m the boss. If I want a break, I can take a break. Got a lot of things to handle? That’s what staff is for!
A boss should know how to make his subordinates work!
Alright, it’s happily decided then.
Qin Tan’s eyes twirled around, and then he smiled slightly. This scene was noticed by He Jie, who was sitting nearby chatting with Xiao Li.
Hmm, has he been triggered and is scheming something again?
Qin Tan was enjoying his thoughts until he looked up and saw He Jie watching him, which made his heart skip a beat...
He forced a natural smile and turned his head to chat with Qin Xiao.
As they chatted, Qin Tan pulled Qin Xiao into the garden.
In the garden, Qin Tan looked at Qin Xiao, "Ah Xiao, I’m here to ask for some advice.
Tell me, what strategies did you use to convince Xiao Li to have a third child during your trip?"
Qin Xiao smirked, "I didn’t use any strategies because Xiao Li wanted a third child more than I did.
I originally thought two kids were enough, so I even refused her a bit, but seeing how much she wanted it, I agreed to the third child."
After saying that, Qin Xiao left, leaving Qin Tan alone, feeling downcast as he watched Qin Xiao’s smug back.
Oh come on...
Why did I look for this heartless brother for advice?
Do I have some masochistic tendencies?
Ugh...
After an exasperated sigh, Qin Tan suddenly remembered Qin Xiao mentioning that he initially refused and later agreed.
Could this be a strategy too?
Playing hard to get?
The more Qin Tan thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
After the dinner, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li took the kids back slowly.
Back home, Aunt Wu took Mianmian for a bath, Qin Xiao took the little one for a bath, and Xiao Li lay on the bed, lost in thought.
Usually, having twins is due to genetic inheritance, so being able to conceive twins must be from some familial genes.
I wonder if there are such genes on Dad’s side?
And on Mom’s side, does the Wen Family have it?
Or does the Bai Family have it?
As she thought about it, Xiao Li took out her phone and texted Bai Yu and Dai Zihan, asking if there are any twin genes in the Wen and Bai families.
Bai Yu said he wasn’t sure and would ask his elders before telling her.
Dai Zihan also said she didn’t know and would have to ask around.
Her inquiries led to no answers, but it did spread the news about Xiao Li being pregnant with twins to the Wen family, and they were thrilled.
Twinning is so much fun!
The most excited were Dai Zihan, Zhou Shuyi, and Wen Zelin’s wife, Qiu Wenwen.
Women are always more interested in these matters than men.
Among the three women in the Wen Family, Dai Zihan and Qiu Wenwen were the most excited.
Dai Zihan and Wen Zeyu had their first child in the same year as the little one, and now Dai Zihan is preparing for a second child. Hearing Xiao Li’s news, she wants twins as well!
Qiu Wenwen, on the other hand, got married to Wen Zelin later than Wen Zeyu and Dai Zihan and hasn’t even been married for a year yet. They haven’t had kids, and she also wants twins!
After chatting with them for a bit, Xiao Li hung up the phone with no conclusive answers.
Seeing Xiao Li finish her chat, Qin Xiao walked over and hugged her, "Do you want to shower? I can help you."
While Xiao Li was on the phone, Qin Xiao had already tidied up the little one and returned to the room.
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes, I want to shower, but I’ll do it myself."
Saying this, Xiao Li got her clothes to go shower, but Qin Xiao didn’t say a word and just picked her up, "I’ll help you; I’m not comfortable with you doing it alone."
With no choice, Xiao Li felt she really hadn’t reached the point where she needed help with showering!
Still, since someone wants to pamper her, she might as well accept it!
Qin Xiao helped Xiao Li shower, then carried her back to bed. He quickly washed up himself before joining her again.
On the bed, Xiao Li was reading. Hearing the bathroom door open, she looked over, "Uncle, why are you so fast?"
Qin Xiao picked up the hair dryer to quickly dry his short hair, then got into bed and hugged Xiao Li, "Wanted to quickly come to keep you company."
Xiao Li covered her mouth and giggled at his words.
Qin Xiao took the book from her hands, pulling her to lie down, "Sleep now!"
After a good night’s sleep, Xiao Li was woken up by hunger before dawn.
She dreamt of eating spicy sour beef and Kung Pao chicken.
They tasted so good!
Waking up from hunger, she couldn’t fall back asleep.
Gently removing Qin Xiao’s hand from her waist, she intended to brush her teeth and go downstairs to find something to eat.
Just as she moved Qin Xiao’s hand, he woke up, "Nini, what’s up?"
Xiao Li responded, "Ah... I’m going to the bathroom."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao also got up to help her to the bathroom.
But before Qin Xiao could get up, Xiao Li pushed him back into bed, "Uncle, can you not be so nervous?
You’re making me nervous too.
Be good and sleep, okay?"
After saying that, Xiao Li went to the bathroom, not giving Qin Xiao a chance to get up and accompany her.
On her side of the bed, being closer to the bathroom door while Qin Xiao was on the other side, meant he had to go around, so Xiao Li managed to sneak away.
She used the restroom, brushed her teeth, and came out to find Qin Xiao still awake, sitting on the bed waiting for her.
Getting back on the bed, she asked, "Uncle, why aren’t you sleeping?"
Getting closer to Xiao Li, Qin Xiao smelled the faint scent of toothpaste, "I’m awake! You brushed your teeth, so you’re not going back to bed?"
Xiao Li nodded, "Yeah, not going back to sleep."
Qin Xiao’s eyes flickered, "Are you hungry?"
She nodded slightly at his words, "Yeah, I’m hungry."
Qin Xiao smiled and caressed her cheek, "Then wait here in the room; I’ll go downstairs and get you something to eat."
Saying that, Qin Xiao was about to get up, but Xiao Li quickly stopped him, "Uncle, I want to go downstairs too."
He chuckled, "Alright then, let’s go!"
Saying so, he was about to carry Xiao Li, but she stopped him, "I can go down myself. Even though I’m pregnant with twins, they’re just tiny embryos now, no different from carrying one.
Uncle, don’t be so nervous!"
He chuckled again, "It’s not because of the twins, Nini. When you were pregnant before, I didn’t take good care of you, and this time I want to do it properly.
Whether one or two, I want to take care of you.
I wanted to carry you before, but you didn’t let me; the twins just give me another reason to pamper you."
Listening to Qin Xiao, Xiao Li realized it was true!
As soon as they found out about the pregnancy, he wanted to carry her, but she refused, not because of the twins.
The unpleasant experiences from the first two pregnancies became a little heartache between them.
Since he wanted to care now, she should let him, leaving no regrets for him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li extended her hand...
