Chapter 1221: Chapter 1220
Lu Mian sat quietly on the sofa, flipping through a magazine absent-mindedly.
From the direction of the corridor came the voices of Xiao Huazun and Qi Zhen, their conversation reached her ears clearly.
The cold young girl’s eyes, black and white, kept flickering.
She heard the middle-aged man mumbling:
"Honey, you no longer have to worry about not seeing our son settle down and build a career. Qimo and Mianmian saved you... I’m really happy!"
Xiao Huazun had been drinking, initially pulled outside by Qi Zhen for a walk, and they had just returned.
The middle-aged man being talkative after drinking didn’t mind the occasion, continuing to speak on his own.
"In the future, we don’t have to keep urging Qimo and Mianmian to get married, let the young couple decide whenever they want to register!" Xiao Huazun chuckled, "Honey, if you’re willing... let’s have another daughter... you like daughters, right? Let’s have one ourselves!"
Although Xiao Huazun’s words were somewhat vague, Lu Mian heard them.
Her fingers caught between the pages of the magazine paused there.
Soon, she heard Qi Zhen’s voice.
"Alright, you’ve had too much to drink, why say such shameless things... quickly shut your mouth, the servants are around!"
"What’s there to be afraid of! Honey, don’t you want a daughter?"
Along with this question, Lu Mian’s mood lifted.
Never would she have thought that one day she would be caught off guard because of the issue of having a second child.
It’s not that she’s against Dad Xiao and Mom Xiao having a second child, she just feels... there’s already one here, she completely qualifies for the role of a daughter!
Back then, she wanted to be Mom Xiao’s goddaughter, that’s why she came to the Xiao Family.
Moreover, Dad Xiao and Mom Xiao are no longer anxious about pushing for marriage, instead, this made her nervous and worried.
Before Qi Zhen could say anything further, the middle-aged couple had already walked in from outside.
Qi Zhen looked up and saw the cold young girl quietly sitting on the sofa, hesitating for a moment as if caught in something embarrassing, his eyes darted around in guilt.
"Mianmian... haha, where’s Qimo?"
"Upstairs taking a shower." Lu Mian haphazardly flipped a few magazine pages, lowered her eyes, reading Qi Zhen’s guilty conscience clearly.
She seemed to already know the answer.
Lu Mian felt a bit troubled.
Maybe she’s been too busy lately, having no time to connect emotionally with Mom Xiao, which led to her having the thought of a second child.
To solve this problem, there is only one solution left.
Lu Mian secretly made up her mind.
Qi Zhen, unaware of Lu Mian’s thoughts, just felt embarrassed and quickly took Xiao Huazun back to rest in the room.
Upon returning downstairs, she saw Lu Mian still sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, and walked over.
Gently asking Lu Mian, "Mianmian, can I talk to you?"
Lu Mian nodded, quite willing.
"Go ahead."
Qi Zhen smiled slightly and asked, "I heard you mentioned Netherman, do you know where this plant came from?"
Qi Zhen, unaware of Lu Mian’s thoughts, just felt embarrassed and quickly took Xiao Huazun back to rest in the room.
Upon returning downstairs, she saw Lu Mian still sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, and walked over.
