Chapter 173: Give birth to another one
The office door was not closed. An Ci peeked over from behind the door, a mischievous smile in his clear eyes.
Song Xiunian's mouth twitched. The little brat must have done it on purpose.
An Ci walked over slowly, and An Lan looked behind her, but there was nothing there.
She asked, "Zizi, why are you alone?"
"Julia sent me downstairs and left." An Ci picked a sofa and sat down casually.
An Lan said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. She changed the subject and asked, "Would you like some more soup?"
An Ci shook his head and touched his bloated stomach, "I just ate too much."
After saying that, she picked up the remote control on the table, pointed it at the TV and pressed it. The screen lit up and she casually changed channels.
Suddenly, her fingers paused, her eyes falling on the news on the screen—
According to insiders, Wanyuan Company's Deputy General Manager, Chen Shang, engaged in illicit activities, framed colleagues to advance his career, and even sold company secrets to rival companies...
An Lan watched the report on TV with a puzzled look on her face. "Isn't Wanyuan Company's deputy general manager named Yuan Qi? How did it become Chen Shang?"
"I heard that Yuan Qi was fired by Wan Yuan for selling company secrets, and this guy named Chen Shang replaced him." Song Xiunian swallowed the food in his mouth and explained slowly.
"That shouldn't be the case. I've met Yuan Qi once or twice. He's a nice guy." An Lan said.
"Isn't it obvious? He was framed and wrongly accused." Song Xiunian's eyes flashed with a glint of insight as he said, "This guy named Chen Shang came to our company yesterday."
Hearing this, An Lan looked at him sideways, "What is he doing here?"
"I didn't agree to a cooperation, I rejected it." Song Xiu Nian said nonchalantly, "Wan Yuan is getting worse and worse. They didn't keep a talent like Yuan Qi, but promoted someone like Chen Shang."
On the side, An Ci listened quietly, watching the scene on TV where Chen Shang was besieged by reporters and media, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Not bad, you took action to clear yourself so quickly.
This speed is awesome.
In the afternoon, Song Xiunian had a meeting to attend, and An Lan was bored, so she simply took An Ci out shopping.
When buying clothes for Song Xi, An Lan couldn't help but think of An Ci. Her little girl had never worn a skirt in her life, and she had never enjoyed the happiness that a little girl should have.
The guilt suppressed deep in her heart quietly grew and spread. An Lan turned around to look for An Ci, "Baby."
As a result, I looked left and right, but I couldn't see An Ci's figure.
"Baby?" An Lan put down the skirt in her hand and was about to look for someone when she saw An Ci walking in from outside with a box of ice cream in his hand.
"Mom, do you want ice cream?" An Ci asked.
An Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving? I thought you were gone and scared me."
An Ci took a spoonful of ice cream and put it into his mouth, smiling and saying, "It's not far, I bought it across the street."
Afraid that she would nag him, An Ci quickly changed the subject, "Have you picked out your clothes?"
When it comes to clothes, An Lan's eyes dimmed. She pulled An Ci to her side and asked in a low voice, "Zizi, do you want to wear a skirt?"
An Ci was stunned for a moment, and when she saw An Lan's guilty look out of the corner of her eye, she immediately understood.
"No." She said without hesitation.
An Lan looked puzzled, "Why?"
"Trouble." she said.
Seeing that she had no interest in the skirt at all, An Lan didn't feel any better. Instead, she was worried that she had really raised her son into a boy.
It's not that she hasn't thought about having another child over the years, but her health has not been good since she gave birth to her second child. The doctor said that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant with a third child, and that having a third child would be bad for her health. Therefore, Song Xiunian did not agree with her having another child.
But she couldn't let Zizi pretend to be a boy all his life. That would not be fair to her.
An Lan asked in a low voice, "Zizi, do you think it's okay for me to have another child?"
The sudden topic of having a baby startled An Ci so much that she choked and coughed. She calmed down, raised her eyes to look at An Lan, trying to find a trace of a joke on her face.
However, it did not.
She is serious.
"I'm serious. If the next child is a boy, you won't have to..."
Before An Lan could finish her words, An Ci interrupted her, his expression unusually serious, "Mom, you don't have to be like this. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Things will work out in the end. Don't worry so much."
Not to mention that the third child can definitely be a boy. Her mother is already forty years old. In addition, she was exhausted when she gave birth to her. It would cause too much damage to her body to have a third child. She can't let her take this risk.
"But……"
An Ci asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Can you guarantee that the third baby will be a boy?"
An Lan was speechless, and An Ci patted her hand soothingly, "Don't think too much, I think I'm fine the way I am now, really, I didn't lie to you."
