Chapter 524: It's just a coincidence

"I'm not even born yet, but I'm already enjoying his filial piety. So I should thank my godson first." Dai Qing said, reaching out to touch Guan Ling's belly and chuckled.

"It's just a coincidence..." Guan Ling said, then suddenly stopped and looked at Dai Qing with bright eyes, "You mean I'm pregnant with a son?"

Dai Qing looked at her uterus and nodded, "Didn't you go to the hospital for a check-up?"

During this period, hospitals have not yet prohibited the identification of the sex of the fetus. If the baby is over three months pregnant and undergoes a B-ultrasound, the doctor will tell you the gender if you ask.

Guan Ling shook his head, looking very happy.

"I've been going for pregnancy checkups, and my mother-in-law said that no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, it's our own child, so we just let it happen. I can't let the gender issue affect my mentality and stop me from asking."

Every time she went for a checkup, she was accompanied by her mother-in-law, and she was too embarrassed to ask.

Otherwise her mother-in-law would think that she favors boys over girls and feel uncomfortable.

Dai Qing was stunned. "I am sorry for causing you trouble."

"No, no, no... this is God's will. I like it very much."

Guan Ling waved her hands repeatedly, her brows showing genuine joy. She couldn't help but move closer to Dai Qing and explain in a low voice.

"To be honest, I hope that my first child is a son so that I can protect my younger brothers and sisters. I have already discussed with my brother Baoping that we will have our second child abroad. Having both a son and a daughter is the most perfect life."

Guan Ling looked at Dai Qing and explained softly. Both her parents' and husband's families had a lot of property, and it would be too tiring for a child to take care of it. Having a helper would also reduce the pressure. At least that's what the couple thought.

What's more, transportation is convenient now. You can go anywhere with just a plane ticket.

The sisters around her want to have both a son and a daughter, so they either give birth to their second child abroad or in Hong Kong, where they can get a foreign hukou, which provides them with many conveniences in terms of schooling and so on.

This trend has been popular in private for a long time, and she had originally planned to do so.

Dai Qing was surprised when she heard Guan Ling's explanation.

Sure enough, different circles lead to different levels of thinking.

This is called "every policy has its own countermeasures", and there will be no delay at all.

Back at the Peony Hall, everyone was eagerly waiting for her to take her seat. "Sorry, I met a friend and talked to him for a few words."

"It doesn't matter. The dishes haven't been served yet. Sister Dai, please try them and see if they suit your taste."

Liu Jianguo didn't care at all and greeted them warmly.

Everyone was laughing together, and the atmosphere in the whole private room was relaxed and pleasant.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together. When these people get together, it is like a group of crosstalk performers. If they are pulled out individually, each of them is a master of jokes, and they don't worry about the awkward atmosphere at all.

Just as everyone was eating enthusiastically, the door of the private room was pushed open again. "These are some special side dishes that our boss specifically requested for us to give away. They are also new dishes developed by our master chef. Please enjoy them."

Sea cucumber in broth, blanched sweet shrimp, stir-fried kale, braised goose with basil. Liu Jianguo looked at the dishes and blinked.

“Does your hotel have a food tasting session?”

"Not entirely. Miss Dai is a good friend of our boss lady, and this is a little gift from her. She wanted you all to have a taste of it."

The waiter put on a standard smile, extended his hand, and signaled everyone to enjoy it with confidence.

Several people stared at Dai Qing, "Sister Dai, we are so lucky to be following you, right?"

Dai Qing looked at the dishes that were served and felt helpless. She didn't know that Guan Ling would give them to her as gifts by letting her taste new dishes.

"I didn't expect you to book the Reda Hotel. I happen to know the owner of this hotel. I was just talking to her in the corridor."

The waiter nodded and added, "The lady boss has already told us that no matter how much you spend today, you will get a 20% discount and a VIP card as a gift. You can reserve the VIP lounge first next time you visit."

Everyone: “…”

The Ruida Hotel has been upgraded to a star hotel. The people who come here to eat and spend money are not ordinary people. Anyway, ordinary people don’t come here to spend money.

But not everyone has the VIP card here, so today I really got lucky.

"Thank you, Sister Dai." Liu Jianguo picked up the wine glass and held it in front of Dai Qing. "I toast to you. Thank you, Sister Dai, for helping me save money."

"You're welcome. Just don't blame me." Dai Qing picked up the drink in front of her and clinked glasses with his.

"I'm not a fool." The money he saved was all his own. He wasn't mentally ill, so why should he be angry?

Cantonese cuisine tastes good and is beautifully presented. Of course, the portions are not large. Seven or eight people finished all the food on the table and were very satisfied.

After the meal, Liu Jianguo settled the bill, showed off his VIP card to others, and then put it directly into his pocket.

"Let's go, for the next show, let's go sing. We've already booked a private room, it's super big, you can have as much fun as you want." Liu Jianguo blew a whistle, and everyone went downstairs arm in arm, ready to go to the second show.

Dai Qing looked at the group and said directly, "I have received your kindness. I will not go to the singing because it is too noisy. You can do whatever you want in the second half."

"No, Sister Dai, we are all young people, you wouldn't start taking care of your health so early, right?"

He Ning patted Li Jianguo on the shoulder and stood directly next to Dai Qing.

"We are all big guys. We drink and smoke and stink. Sister Dai will definitely not like it. Let her send her home and come back to find you."

“…That’s fine.”

Liu Jianguo chuckled. As expected, all masters like to practice meditation and not be involved in worldly affairs.

A few people went downstairs laughing and rushed to the second show.

"Xiaoqing, are you done eating?"

Zhang Baoping came in from the gate with his secretary and happened to run into them. Lingzi told him about Dai Qing's visit, but because he was busy, he didn't have time to go over and say hello.

"The food is great, and the new dishes are very unique. I like them very much. Thank you for your care."

Dai Qing chuckled and turned to introduce He Ning and Liu Jianguo.

"This is Mr. Zhang from Ruida. Both he and his wife are straightforward people."

The two looked at Zhang Baoping and extended their hands to greet him.

"Boss Zhang, I've heard a lot about you."

"My name is Zhang Baoping, and I'm also Xiaoqing's friend. If you like this place in the future, come often."

Zhang Baoping shook hands with the two of them politely, then looked at Dai Qing.

"Lingzi has already told me about recognizing her as her godmother. Let's hold a recognition ceremony later. I'll prepare everything and you just need to show up when the time comes."

Hearing this, Dai Qing couldn't help laughing.

"You two are too impatient. You have to wait until the baby is born."

"You have to admit it sooner or later, so it's always better to prepare in advance." Zhang Baoping laughed as he listened to Dai Qing's teasing.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Baoping, they walked to the front door. Liu Jianguo gave Dai Qing a thumbs up and said, "Sister Dai is awesome."

This was not his first time to come to Ruida, but it was his first time to enjoy the discount.

"It just happened,"

Dai Qing was also helpless. There were so many hotels, but he chose Ruida.
