Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 356: My Husband Really Likes Children

Preparing for pregnancy?

Lin Zhiyi’s hand holding the teacup stiffened.

From the corner of her eye, Sang Ran also glanced at her.

"Yes, just married. My husband really likes children. He said he wants to have a little ’padded jacket’ first, and we even decided on a name."

"Third Young Master is really impatient, even the name is decided. What is it?" Wen Qing asked.

"Xingxing." Sang Ran spoke slowly.

Thud, the teacup in Lin Zhiyi’s hand smashed onto the table.

"What did you say?" Her voice trembled.

"Xingxing, a name specially chosen by Third Young Master." Sang Ran emphasized the word ’specially.’

Lin Zhiyi’s anger flared wildly.

That was her daughter’s name!

How could Gong Chen give it to someone else!

Seeing Lin Zhiyi lose her composure, Wen Qing smirked slightly: "Oh, Miss Lin, what’s wrong with you? We’re talking about your mom and Xiao Ran having kids, but you’re acting as if you’re the one having kids."

Lin Zhiyi snapped back to her senses, realizing everyone was staring at her with strange expressions.

She clenched her fists and then expressionlessly pulled out a tissue to wipe the tea on the table.

"It was unstable."

Wen Qing scoffed disdainfully and said lightly: "Second Madam should really take good care of herself. After all, she’s not young anymore. If she can’t get pregnant, there’s no need to force herself. Having a beautiful face at least guarantees a worry-free life. Don’t end up with nothing, but... there are indeed many women who want to give Second Young Master children."

"Exactly, men always love the new and hate the old. No matter how youthful you look, your age is there. Having a son to rely on is crucial." Aunt Yang said as she played with her son in her arms.

Liu He choked.

She could tell that Wen Qing was mocking her for rising in status through her beauty and lacking background.

But she was not good at arguing indirectly and could only hold her teacup silently.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyi threw away the tissue in her hand.

"President Wen is right, my uncle does have many flies around him, but my uncle is a decent man, he wouldn’t do anything disgusting."

"Moreover, my uncle knew from day one that my mom had poor health and couldn’t have children. If he really cared, why would he marry my mom deliberately?"

"My uncle heard that trying for a child is very harmful to a woman’s health, so he would rather not have children than allow my mom to harm her body. Otherwise, why would my mom still look as youthful as young girls after all these years?"

She wasn’t exaggerating at all.

Liu He was naturally beautiful, and with Gong Shiyan’s care, not to mention her face, even her hands were tender enough to squeeze water out.

Aunt Yang looked at her own hands and pursed her lips.

Although it was hard for her to try for a child, it was her own choice, and she had no right to sarcastically mock Liu He.

Wen Qing also clenched her teeth in anger.

But she didn’t want to lose her dignity in front of these people.

Noticing that the other women were secretly eyeing Liu He’s jewelry, she felt secretly pleased.

The next second, Wen Qing pulled Sang Ran aside and changed the topic: "Xiao Ran and I have something else to handle, you all keep chatting."

Before leaving, she pointed at the jewelry on Liu He’s neck: "Second Madam, that jewelry set is nice, I heard it’s worth over two million. It seems like your life has been quite enriching recently."

Wen Qing said something inexplicable and turned to leave.

Sang Ran looked meaningfully at Lin Zhiyi and also left.

Before Lin Zhiyi and Liu He could react, the aunts across them all brightened their eyes.

One of the aunts immediately said: "Xiao He, it seems you’ve made quite a fortune with Jiang Fen."

"Huh?"

Liu He paused, then turned to look at Aunt Yang beside her.

She had only told Aunt Yang about this.

Aunt Yang patted her child and said indifferently, "We’re all good friends. You’re already the Second Madam of the Gong Family and making so much money, you should share with us. You wouldn’t want to deliberately hide this from everyone, right?"

Liu He said awkwardly, "How could I."

With Liu He’s words, the aunts unanimously decided to invest with her.

Seeing that these people were about to make their payments, Lin Zhiyi immediately interrupted: "Do you smell something? Is it a child who made a mess? Aunt Yang, maybe you should go to the restroom to check, this being a restaurant after all."

Aunt Yang nodded, took her maternity bag, and headed to the restroom with her child.

Lin Zhiyi turned to the other three aunts and explained: "Investing is a serious matter, I think we should consider it carefully. My mom doesn’t know much about it either, why not let my mom call Aunt Jiang and explain it to you properly another day?"

"That sounds good."

Lin Zhiyi and Liu He both sighed in relief.

After Aunt Yang changed the child’s diaper and came out, she attempted to bring up the investment several times, but Lin Zhiyi kept changing the subject.

They parted on bad terms in the end.

On the way back.

Liu He gritted her teeth in anger: "I treated her as a good friend and told her that I made money from investments. What does she mean by this?"

"Mom, people change. You’ve seen Aunt Yang’s situation—her husband wouldn’t be good to her, and she wouldn’t have seen doctors for over a decade just to have a son."

"Ah..." Liu He sighed deeply.

Lin Zhiyi looked at her and asked in return: "Mom, what’s going on with having children?"

Liu He touched Lin Zhiyi’s face: "Mr. Sang is from Hai City, and once you marry him you will definitely move to Hai City, my heart just emptied at that thought. After hearing from your Aunt Yang about how skilled this Chinese medicine doctor is, I wanted to give it a try, to just take care of my health."

"Mom, I’ll go with you," Lin Zhiyi squeezed her hand.

Everyone has their emotional burdens, and Liu He was no exception.

Just now, when she was watching Aunt Yang’s son, her eyes clearly reddened.

It must have reminded her of the child that wasn’t born.

Therefore, she didn’t want to advise Liu He on anything.

Liu He nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked: "Why did Lao San give his daughter such a nickname? Xingxing, does it have any meaning?"

Lin Zhiyi was stunned, a bitterness creeping up her throat.

Yes.

Because Xingxing has a pair of eyes as beautiful as her dad’s.

But in this life, Xingxing is no longer her Xingxing.

She swallowed, with a hint of resentment towards Gong Chen: "I don’t know. That’s their child."

Liu He didn’t catch the deeper meaning and guessed: "They’ve been on their honeymoon on the island for a while now, maybe Xiao Ran is already...pregnant?"

Lin Zhiyi involuntarily clenched her fingers, looked away towards the car window, silently enduring an indescribable sourness.

...

Elsewhere.

Wen Qing saw Sang Ran off in the car.

He turned around and signaled his assistant with a glance.

The assistant quickly stepped forward: "President Wen."

"Find out which doctor Liu He wants to see, we cannot allow her to get pregnant, understand?"

"Yes."

"Take good advantage of those women just now, I believe there will be a good show soon."

"Hmm."

The assistant nodded.

Wen Qing watched from afar, scoffed coldly, and then got into the car and left.

...

Lin Zhiyi stayed with Liu He for dinner at the villa before heading back.

As she stepped out of the elevator, a strong smell of cigarettes wafted to her.

When the corridor lights came on, the man’s tall silhouette gradually became clear.

It was Gong Chen.

There were many cigarette butts scattered around his feet; who knows how long he had been waiting here.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Lin Zhiyi’s face, the beautiful eyes shattered with sparse lights.

"Is your stomach feeling better?"

His voice was somewhat hoarse, tinged with an indescribable fatigue.

But whenever Lin Zhiyi saw his eyes, she would remember Sang Ran proudly saying he specifically chose the name Xingxing for their child.

Maybe it’s a coincidence, but she couldn’t get past it.

In her past life, he indeed didn’t kill Xingxing with his own hands, but Xingxing died because of him.

And now, he still took Xingxing away.

Yet he knows nothing.

He doesn’t know what happened that night, doesn’t know what Xingxing represents.

The only one overwhelmed with sorrow and suppression is her.

She had barely started over, why should he come and disrupt her life?
