My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me-Chapter 1320 - 1313: For the Child (7)

Of course not. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Qin Zhiyou silently refused in his heart.

He had no obsession over whose surname the child took, and he had no preference for having sons or daughters. All that mattered was that the child was his and Wei Hui’s.

But Lu Weixi marrying someone else? Don’t even think about it!

It would have been one thing in the past. At the time of their divorce, he really had thought about this issue. But now, with the child here to smooth things over, if he were to let her go easily, he might as well write his surname Qin upside down!

However, facing Lu’s mother, he still had to nod reluctantly against his will, "I don’t care what the child’s surname is. It could be Lu or Qin. The name Lu sounds pretty good too. As for her remarrying... in this day and age, it’s not uncommon to see divorced couples co-parenting peacefully. Even though our marriage was full of troubles, we parted ways amicably. Even without a marital relationship, I still have a blood tie to this child. If Wei Hui insists on not marrying me, and she finds a good partner worthy of a lifetime of commitment, someone who is not only good to her but also to the child, I... can bless her."

Lu’s mother snorted coldly, detecting the insincerity in Qin Zhiyou’s voice.

This guy was full of flowery talk, no wonder even her daughter, who abhorred scumbags and immediately broke up with Qin Zhigu the moment he cheated—with such an extreme dislike for Qin Zhiyou—could eventually fall for him. Women love sweet talk, and as the saying goes, even a fierce woman fears a persistent suitor. With Qin Zhiyou’s decent looks and sweet-talking, it was indeed possible to charm a woman’s heart.

No matter how nice he talked, as if he could genuinely bless his daughter regardless of her choice, how was that possible?

Because he sounded too perfect, it made Lu’s mother feel it was fake.

"So what you’re saying is, my daughter can have the baby, and whether she marries or not is fine. You’ll take responsibility for the child."

Qin Zhiyou nodded.

"In other words, if my daughter doesn’t marry you, you’re also free to marry someone else and have more kids. As if my daughter is having this child for you to raise, right?"

When Lu’s mother and Qin Zhiyou were negotiating outside, Lu Weixi had actually gotten up as well. She had always been a light sleeper, and with the weight on her mind, knowing that her mother was negotiating with Qin Zhiyou, there was no way she could settle down to sleep.

Too embarrassed to show up, she could only listen in with her ear against the door panel. Lu’s mother’s words were actually her own concern as well. Qin Zhiyou could talk the talk, but in reality, not getting back together was the best for him. He could ally with Fang Rushuang or some other well-matched lady, which would benefit his career. He could also find a beautiful, obedient trophy wife to dote on and pamper. On her end, she could bear his child for him. A bit of money and a bit of attention from him would suffice, and it wouldn’t hinder his family’s development—it was a win-win.

She didn’t doubt Qin Zhiyou’s love for the child, but as for herself—she had never been confident.

Unable to hold back, Lu’s mother mocked, "Qin Zhiyou, you’re quite the schemer. If you remarry my daughter, it would be no different from the past. But if you don’t remarry, you’ll have other options and even find another wife. After all, this child can still be born on your behalf, and you’re not short on money to support a child. The more, the merrier. As long as she leaves the child behind, you’re all set to profit without loss."

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhiyou didn’t hesitate at all; he nodded, "That’s right. We’re all single men and women, of course, we can have multiple choices."

Lu Weixi’s heart instantly grew cold.
