She put down her snacks and looked at her husband: "What should we do?"
She then asked, "Should we take her to the hospital for a check-up? I don't want her to get into trouble again."
Chen Ke gestured for A Yuan to come over, and with a stretch of his arm, A Yuan was hoisted up and started swinging.
He gave Li Xia a reproachful look, his tone not very good, and said, "I don't even know what to say about you."
Yue Zhongqi is still alive, but the eldest brother is blaming the family members, which is neither good nor appropriate.
Because Li Xia is now the general manager of a clothing company, and according to Secretary Qiao, she earns more than Chen Ke.
The tone Chen Ke used when he spoke was unbearable for most people.
If it were Secretary Qiao, regardless of whether she was right or wrong, she would have lost her temper if Yue Zhongqi dared to speak in that tone.
Li Xia's expression immediately turned sour; she was still holding half a pastry in her hand and pursed her lips.
In a moment of inspiration, Yue Zhongqi said, "If you ask me, my sister-in-law is of age and should have a child."
He's absolutely right. Li Xia's love for children is just overflowing, and she can't help it.
Since she spoiled other people's children like this, Nie Zhao couldn't say anything, but Chen Ke had to say something and remind her.
But her doting is pathological because she has her own agenda; words alone won't change that.
But she clearly can't have children, so why is Yue Zhongqi bringing up the topic of children? Isn't he just looking for trouble?
But that's not really the case. Taking this opportunity, Yue Zhongqi said, "If you ask me, why don't you adopt one?"
Rather than letting Li Xia pet and feed A Yuan whenever she sees him, it would be better for her to have her own child. Once she has her own child and lives with him every day, she will seriously consider how to raise him.
This is the best solution.
A-Yuan couldn't understand, but he jumped off Chen Ke's arm to hear what was going on.
Although Chen Ke and Li Xia were still bickering, one going left and the other right, they were almost in unison.
Li Xia blurted out, "No, I won't adopt."
Chen Ke also said, "No, we don't adopt."
She paused for a moment and then said, "Having A-Yuan is already very good. We are all busy with work. If we adopt one, we won't be able to take care of it."
Yue Zhongqi is a very shrewd person; he immediately saw through the deepest problem in Li Xia's heart.
He said to Chen Ke, "Don't worry, boss. It's okay if you don't care, but your wife does. What about your hometown? Your parents, brothers, and relatives? They might not contact you, but it will put pressure on your wife. Have you thought about that?"
He added, "Even if you're determined not to, you need to make your family's stance clear."
Chen Ke, quick-witted, turned to Li Xia and asked, "Did my mom call you?"
After a long pause, Li Xia nodded silently.
Upon seeing this, Yue Zhongqi immediately reached out to A Yuan and said with a smile, "Let's go find Mom."
There were two nannies outside, along with Ah Hui. When they saw Ah Yuan coming out with an uncle, they followed him too.
The wet nurse was eating in the next room, but she put down her plate and hurried to catch up.
Uncle Ming held a meeting early this morning and repeatedly emphasized that the most important person today is A Yuan, and they must keep a close eye on him.
The problem with children is that they might be taken care of by one person and then another, and end up being lost in the process.
After A Yuan was taken away, Chen Ke turned to look at Li Xia, sighed, and asked, "Why have you never told me this before?"
He added, "Even if you don't tell me, you can tell Arou. Are you just going to keep it to yourself?"
However, as a daughter, Chen Rou was not aware of that.
She grew up as an orphan, so for her, a child's cold or fever wasn't considered an illness. If A Yuan had a headache or fever, Nie Zhao would be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she would remain calm and even think that Nie Zhao was making a fuss.
She has always been running, and she has long since trampled over worldly prejudices with her feet.
But Li Xia is different. Even though she might pretend to be relaxed in front of Chen Rou, saying that she would focus on her career even without children and that she wasn't afraid of divorce, the reality is that she actually cares a lot and is very afraid of divorce.
Because Chen Ke's special police team has been expanding, he is now considered a high-ranking leader.
And don't let his quiet appearance fool you, he's actually quite chauvinistic.
But after all, he was a man trained by the state. When he got home, he was willing to do any kind of work, cooking and washing dishes. If Li Xia worked overtime, he would wait outside the factory gate as long as he got off work early. He would wait for her for as long as she was busy.
A good man, as long as the woman is clear-headed, will not push her away, and Li Xia did not want to lose Chen Ke either.
But year after year, Li Xia turned forty and still hadn't had a child.
Chen Ke's grandmother passed away two years ago, but he still has a 60-year-old mother.
She would send a registered letter at the drop of a hat and make long-distance calls all the time, either urging me to get treatment or asking if I was pregnant.
The old lady can't come because it's too far away and transportation is inconvenient.
But sooner or later she will come to urge us to have a baby.
Li Xia was under immense pressure, and only when she saw A Yuan, coaxed him to eat, and played with him could she feel a little better.
She wasn't as strong as her daughter thought; she was very fragile, afraid of losing her marriage and her husband.
Just then, her mother-in-law was afraid of bothering her son and dared not send a letter to her husband, so she gritted her teeth and kept everything to herself.
But the balance will always be broken, and the truth will always come out.
Li Xia didn't have that much love to give to the adopted children; she only loved her own daughter, A Yuan.
She couldn't have children and didn't want to adopt. Since Yue Zhongqi had brought things up today, and since that day was bound to come sooner or later anyway, she remained calm and said, "If you want your own child, we can get a divorce."
