Chapter 137 So... you didn't not want to have a child with me, did you?
the next day.
Around noon, Sang Qian was standing in front of the flower shed in the front garden, fiddling with a flower she had recently been growing.
Hearing familiar footsteps approaching behind her, she turned around and looked at the man who had suddenly appeared behind her with a puzzled expression. "Why are you back so early?"
It seems like there's still more than an hour until lunchtime.
And wasn't he so busy this morning that he left early without even having breakfast?
Jin Changyu smiled gently and took the watering can from her hand. "Come back early after you finish your work."
Looking at the man watering the flowers for her, Sang Qian recalled how she had fallen asleep in the car yesterday and been carried back to her room by him.
After hesitating for a moment, she still said, "Next time... if I fall asleep in the car, you can just wake me up. You don't need to waste your energy carrying me upstairs."
Jin Changyu blurted out, "You're so light, it's no effort at all to carry you."
He finally had a chance to hold her, and he was worried that she would wake up halfway through and not let him hold her, so why would he wake her up?
Suddenly remembering what Li Moyang had said last night, Jin Changyu felt he should express his feelings appropriately.
He cleared his throat and looked at Sang Qian very seriously, "I... would love to hug you."
"?"
Seemingly surprised that he would say such a thing, the woman stared at him with wide eyes.
Jin Changyu felt a little awkward under the gaze, and in a moment of impulse, he hurriedly added, "What I mean is, I'm very happy to be able to hug you."
"???"
Sang Qian looked at him with a strange expression.
What's wrong with him today?
Did you take the wrong medicine?
The Jin Changyu she knew had always been a serious and reserved person, and for him to say such things...
This is so unlike him.
Sang Qian couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you... alright today?"
"..."
Jin Changyu was never good at saying sweet nothings, and now she was looking at him like that...
He, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but blush.
"Something really came up today."
He abruptly changed the subject, "Um... let's go meet the team that will be providing you with postpartum care this afternoon, and have them give you a detailed explanation of the care process."
Sang Qian paused for a moment, then said, "Why don't you have them compile the details into a document and send it to me? I'll take a look and then decide whether or not to meet them."
Dahai is right. It's her own body, and she should consider her own health and the baby's health care. If the people Jin Changyu hires are really much better than the postpartum care center, then she should use his team and pay him for the postpartum care expenses later.
Seeing that she didn't refuse outright, Jin Changyu's eyes lit up with joy. "Okay, I'll have someone send the information over in a bit."
"And this too, come and take a look."
As Jin Changyu spoke, he put down the watering can and pulled her to sit down on the bench next to him.
Sang Qian looked at the man who sat down next to her, "What are you looking at?"
"This is a villa in the western suburbs of Beijing. This is the design drawing that I had the designer work on overnight."
Jin Changyu took out his phone, opened the file, and handed it to her. "Look, we're going to expand this space into a sunroom. It's quite spacious, and we can put some recreational facilities and furniture suitable for postpartum women inside. That way, you won't be too bored while you're in postpartum confinement, since we need to stay for at least 100 days. Oh, and this area can be used to set up some toys for the baby..."
Looking at the design drawings on the screen and listening to his explanation, Sang Qian was slightly stunned.
Was he moving too fast?
She hadn't even agreed to go to his villa for postpartum care yet, but he had a designer come up with drawings overnight, and had already planned various scenarios for her postpartum care.
After Jin Changyu finished explaining, he noticed her staring blankly at him. "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with this design?"
This is nothing like postpartum confinement; even a vacation wouldn't be this luxurious and comfortable. Plus, she has a whole team here to serve her. What woman wouldn't be satisfied with this kind of arrangement?
Sang Qian shook her head. "Jin Changyu, you... you don't actually need to do these things. That's not within your scope of responsibility."
“No responsibility.”
Jin Changyu put down his phone and gazed deeply at her. "I just want you and the baby to receive better care. I want to minimize the suffering you experience during childbirth and also want our baby to grow up healthy after birth."
Sang Qian looked at him, then suddenly curled her lips and asked, "Didn't you say you didn't want children? Why are you so concerned about the baby I'm carrying now?"
Why is he going to such lengths to prepare all of this, looking forward to the arrival of the child?
Jin Changyu looked at her and gave a self-deprecating laugh. "What normal man in his thirties doesn't want to have children with his wife?"
Sang Qian felt a tightness in her chest.
"Didn't you tell your mom when you first got married... that you weren't planning on having children for the time being?"
Jin Changyu stared at her. "Didn't you say you didn't want children for the time being?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian looked at him in shock and astonishment, "When did I ever tell you I didn't want children?"
Jin Changyu was somewhat puzzled by her reaction. "When I accompanied you back to your parents' home for the first time after our marriage, I overheard you talking to Sang Zhiming. You said that you wouldn't want to have children for the next two or three years."
When he heard this, he was disappointed, but he still chose to respect her wishes.
He was worried that his mother would make things difficult for him about having children, so he made a point of telling her that he didn't want any for the time being.
Upon hearing his words, Sang Qian was taken aback at first, but then quickly recalled what had happened that day.
That day was Jin Changyu's first visit to the Sang family after their marriage. Sang Zhiming, who had just formed a marriage alliance with the Jin family, was overjoyed. After dinner, he pulled Sang Qian aside and kept telling her how to win Jin Changyu's heart, how to secure her position in the Jin family, and how to seek more benefits for the Sang family.
"Ah Qian, the Jin family only has one male heir, Jin Changyu. With such a large family business, as long as you can help him have more children, your position in the Jin family will be as secure as Mount Tai."
"It would be best to have a boy as the first child, the eldest grandson of the Jin family. That would be the future heir of the Jin family. As long as you give the Jin family the eldest grandson, even if Jin Changyu cheats on you and has illegitimate children, those other women won't be able to compete with you..."
Sang Qian was furious when she heard that.
If Jin Changyu hadn't been sitting inside, and if she hadn't had to maintain a semblance of family harmony at the Sang family home, she would have really wanted to break off all ties with him on the spot.
She doesn't quite remember what she said to Sang Zhiming, only that the last thing she said was, "I'm still young and haven't had enough fun. At least for the next two or three years, I don't plan to have any children."
She was angry at the time and said those things to annoy Sang Zhiming, but she didn't expect that Jin Changyu would hear them.
Sang Qian glanced at Jin Changyu, then lowered her head. "The reason I said those things that day was because I didn't want Sang Zhiming to control me, and I didn't want him to have any intention of using me and my child to benefit his Sang family."
Jin Changyu looked at her intently. "So... you didn't not want to have a child with me, did you?"
