“No,” he replied.
Concise and efficient.
But this answer was too simple for Ning Qiluo; she thought he would say something heartwarming.
But then I thought about it again and realized that I was being incredibly ungrateful.
He's already been so incredibly good to her, what is she still thinking? In reality, this should be called 'being difficult'.
She took the fruit and continued eating.
As she ate the blueberries, she remembered Jiang Zhaoying's words and changed the subject, asking him, "Jiang Yingchi, do you like children?"
Jiang Yingchi smiled faintly: "Aren't you just a little kid? My little kid."
Uncle Jiang has such a sweet tongue; I wish I could give him a kiss.
She smiled broadly: "I was talking about children. Do you like children?"
Jiang Yingchi turned the question around and asked her, "So, do you like it?"
"I wouldn't say I particularly like it, but I don't dislike it either."
"Yeah, pretty much," he replied, echoing her words.
Jiang Zhaoying said that Jiang Yingchi also didn't like children, but Ning Qiluo recalled that she once chatted with Jiang Yingchi and he didn't seem to have shown this.
That's right. How could he possibly show her that he doesn't like children? Wouldn't that make him seem even more mean in her eyes?
"Will you gradually accept children in the future?" she asked again.
Since there was nothing else to talk about, Ning Qiluo decided to stick to this topic and keep talking about it.
"It's hard to say, maybe," he replied.
Actually, Jiang Yingchi didn't really want to talk to her about this topic, because it was still too far off.
He certainly wouldn't reveal his desire for a child to her, because he didn't want her to have a baby too early. Her life shouldn't be bound by the home he had built for her so early on; she should be a bird soaring freely in the sky.
He hoped that she could be happy and free forever under his protection, even if it was just the two of them for the rest of her life, that would be enough.
Ning Qiluo was a little disappointed after hearing Jiang Yingchi's answer, and then shared with him, "I ate a lot of sour blueberries tonight, and Jiang Zhaoying teased me about whether I was pregnant. Of course not, I've always loved blueberries. But now I'm thinking, what if I really were pregnant? You don't even like children..."
Jiang Yingchi, on the other end of the video, felt a sharp twitch between his brows after hearing what she said.
What did you just say?
The voice suddenly became serious.
Ning Qiluo was so startled by his serious expression that she sat up straight and obediently replied, "I said, if I were pregnant, you wouldn't like children."
"Is it hypothetical?" he asked.
The tone sounded somewhat dejected.
"Of course it's just a hypothetical situation, my period just ended." Afraid he wouldn't believe her, she added that she was menstruating.
Yes, they just left.
but--
Ning Qiluo pressed him for an answer: "If I got pregnant, would I keep the baby?"
Jiang Yingchi laughed in anger at these words: "What do you mean? If I don't want it, who do you want to give it to?"
Ning Qiluo was so frightened that she dared not speak, and could only smile ingratiatingly.
At this moment, she heard Jiang Yingchi say, "A'Luo, even if I do everything for you, big or small, there will always be oversights. If... you are really pregnant, you must tell me immediately. You can't bear it all by yourself, absolutely not, understand?"
"Yes, I know."
"Be serious."
"Okay~"
This was her seriousness, and Jiang Yingchi chuckled, a chuckle tinged with affection.
Ning Qiluo's probing revealed that Jiang Yingchi didn't seem to particularly dislike children. As for her? She wouldn't say she liked them either, but she thought she would definitely love her and Jiang Yingchi's child.
Thinking about it this way, Ning Qiluo felt even sweeter. She had a mischievous idea and said to him on the screen, "Jiang Yingchi, since you spoil me so much, I'll give you ten sons in the future. You wish!"
Jiang Yingchi: "..."
