Qi Yuning said, "We haven't seen each other for five days."
Lu Ze was stunned: "Has it been so long since we last met?"
"Have you not thought about me at all these days? Am I more important, or are state affairs more important?"
Lu Ze coughed and said, "State affairs are important."
Qi Yuning took a deep breath and turned to leave.
Lu Ze grabbed Qi Yuning's wrist, hugged Qi Yuning in his arms and said, "You are second only to state affairs. Let me hold you for a while."
Qi Yuning said in Lu Ze's arms, "With you being so busy, it's no wonder Lingling hasn't had any siblings in three years."
Lingling nodded and said, "Daddy, don't be too busy. Lingling wants a brother and sister. No, there are too many brothers and sisters now. Lingling doesn't want a brother anymore. She just wants a sister."
Lu Ze looked at Lingling as she considered it seriously and chuckled, "Okay."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "How can we decide whether to have brothers and sisters in this life? If you rashly agree, what will happen if you only have brothers and no sisters in the future?"
Lu Ze said, "Then you and I will continue to work hard to have more children."
Qi Yuning was slightly annoyed: "It's not you who gave birth to me, yet you can say that so easily."
Lu Ze smiled and said, "Then let's have two. If both are brothers, there's nothing we can do. But if both are sisters, everyone will be happy."
Qi Yuning thought that three children were indeed enough. According to Lingling's words, she and Lu Ze were very busy, and they might not be able to take care of more children. Two children were not enough. Qi Yuning had always wanted to have more relatives who were connected to her by blood since she was a child.
There are so few blood relatives of hers in this world.
Qi Yuning said, "You and I haven't gotten married yet. Even if we plan to have a few children in the future, what if we can't get married this time?"
Lu Ze said, "Yu Ning, stop talking nonsense!"
Qi Yuning smiled lightly.
…
On the sixth day, Prince Qi's mansion was full of guests.
Lingling finally stopped sticking to Qi Yuning today, because she came with a lot of little playmates, including little Zhao Jie, Brother You, and two little sisters whom she met from somewhere. They were just over two years old and even Qi Yuning had never seen them. After asking, she found out that they were the two little nieces of Zheng Hao from the Duke of Zheng's Mansion.
Qi Yuning was entertaining guests in the mansion when he received a visiting card and went out.
Seeing Shen Qian and Ning Wen at the door, Qi Yuning said, "Master Shen San, Madam Shen San."
Ning Wen looked at the familiar Prince Qi's Mansion, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart. "I didn't know there was a wedding going on at the mansion today. Sorry to bother you. Could we go in and have a drink?"
Qi Yuning always remembered the day when Ning Wen left the palace to return to her parents' home. She was only eight years old and she cried secretly.
Now that the Qi family has a new member, and seeing Ning Wen happy and contented, Qi Yuning can finally smile with relief when she recalls the time when she cried secretly behind the maid's back when she was a child.
"Master Shen, Madam Shen, Young Master Yuqi, please come in quickly."
Qi Yuning asked again, "Did Lu Yun come with you?"
Ning Wen said, "I'm here, but Han'er is sick, and Nian Nian and Prince Lu are taking care of her."
