Chapter 211 Wanting a Daughter
As Qi Chenyan lowered his head, Yu Li put a mask on his face.
He looked her up and down and was quite satisfied.
"Although my husband isn't a celebrity, his popularity is even higher than that of top-tier celebrities. So, would you say I'm experiencing the thrill of marrying a public figure and having to sneak around when I go out, afraid of being photographed by paparazzi?"
A smile spread across Qi Chenyan's eyes. "I can also go without a mask."
Not wearing a mask means that if Qi Chenyan appears in public with Yu Li, it means that their relationship is made public.
This is completely different from when Qi Chenyan first made a request after they got their marriage certificate, which was to keep their marriage a secret due to work reasons.
It's like indirectly telling Yu Li that if she wants, their marital relationship can be made public, so she won't have to wear a mask every time she goes out shopping to avoid being recognized by the public.
Yu Li was just joking, but she didn't expect Qi Chenyan to say it like that.
Her heart was beating a little faster again. She touched her earlobe and said, "I think we're fine as we are now. If we were to make it official, our peaceful life would be disrupted."
"More importantly, I'll become a big star by then. When I go out, people will ask me, 'Wow, how are you so capable? How did you manage to snag a top national heartthrob like Director Qi?'"
"So, what should I say then?"
As she spoke, Yu Li tossed her beautiful hair. "Should I answer? Well, I can't help it. I'm just too charming. Director Qi kept asking me to be his wife, so I had no choice but to reluctantly agree."
Qi Chenyan chuckled softly, echoing Yu Li's words: "Yes, it was I who pursued you relentlessly to become my wife."
Yu Li was the first to tease them, and she was also the first to blush in the end.
She covered her face and said, "We're here, get off the bus, get off the bus."
The two browsed clothes, toys, furniture, and so on.
After strolling around for a while, Yu Li realized that Qi Chenyan probably rarely went shopping.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, someone like him, who flies around the world every day, wouldn't have the leisure to go shopping in person.
Because whenever Yu Li entered a store, if she lingered on an item for even a few seconds longer, Qi Chenyan would immediately swipe his card and buy it.
So much so that after visiting only two stores, Qi Chenyan's hands were already almost full of bags.
Yu Li originally wanted to share the burden, but Qi Chenyan said he could manage it and wouldn't let Yu Li take any.
"I don't think this kind of shopping is going to work. We've only been to two stores and already bought so much. If we were to buy things like a crib, wouldn't we have to carry them all the way?"
This was Qi Chenyan's first time shopping. His principle was that if his wife glanced at something, he would like it and buy it without considering anything else.
But since his wife had brought it up, he thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."
A short while later, Qi Chenyan returned, followed by several security guards.
"Whatever we buy, don't carry it. Just have the security guards help us load it into the car. As for heavy items like the crib, we'll have it delivered to our door, okay?"
To be honest, money talks, and you can hire security guards for shopping malls whenever you want.
Yu Li, of course, had no objections.
But as she continued shopping, especially when buying cribs and toys, Yu Li discovered the key point.
Yu Li thought that since she didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl yet, she would buy some items for both men and women.
The crib that Qi Chenyan liked was pink, and the toys were all Barbie doll sets, musical bouncy balls, and so on.
In short, no baby boy would like to play with this; it's clearly bought for baby girls.
Yu Li couldn't resist taking a picture of Qi Chenyan's back as he picked out another pink stroller.
Pear Blossom Grass on the Plain: [Mr. Qi said, "I like both boys and girls," but when he turned around and picked out a dazzling array of pink and tender colors, he couldn't hide his desire for a little princess anymore.]
My best friend commented almost instantly: 【Then I wish your uncle a speedy birth of a son!~】
Pear Blossom Grass on the Plain: [Honey, have you forgotten? You have your husband's WeChat account, and he can see comments from mutual friends, right?]
The next second.
Your friend deleted a comment.
Admitting defeat is that quick.
Following this, Deng Bailing commented: "You've already picked out baby products so quickly? I've been through this myself, I know this stuff. When are you coming over for a visit? Lao Yi and I will give you two a little lesson."
Since Deng Bailing had brought it up, Yu Li naturally couldn't delay any longer, so she switched to the chat interface and talked to her about the timing of her visit.
Meanwhile, Tan Mo and Zhou Heran were practically racing to screenshot the latest WeChat Moments post and send it to the group chat.
Mo: [Someone said that his sister-in-law had promised to invite us to her house for a meal, but after we asked countless times when he would be free, he always said he was too busy. Then he turned around and went shopping with his sister-in-law.]
Zhou Zhou: [Who was it that once so confidently declared that only idle, bored people like to go shopping? I can see that person's excitement is practically overflowing the screen.]
[Oh, I didn't expect Lao Qi to like pink tones?]
Zhou Zhou: [That was bought for his unborn daughter.]
Mo: [Only four months, and Lao Qi is already certain it's a girl?]
Zhou Zhou: [Didn't you see what my sister-in-law said? That's just his fantasy; he's obsessed with having a little princess.]
Mo: [Then I'd like to wish Lao Qi a speedy birth of his son.]
Zhou Zhou: [Wishing Lao Qi a speedy birth of a son.]
Wishing Lao Qi a speedy birth of a son.
Wishing Lao Qi a speedy birth of a son.
...
So, after Qi Chenyan placed another order for a pink stroller and a pink balance bike, he picked up his phone and saw that the group chat already had 99+ messages.
When you open WeChat, a red heart pops up at the top of the chat list.
This is a notification that appears when someone you've set up a special contact on WeChat posts a new update to their Moments.
Just as Qi Chenyan was about to open it, he saw that his sister-in-law was mentioned in the group chat.
He flicked his finger and opened the group messages.
I first saw the screenshot of Yu Li's WeChat Moments post in the group chat.
Qi Chenyan zoomed in and saw that, although his wife had just taken the photo casually, the composition and atmosphere were superb.
However, the phrase "May you have a son soon" that followed the entire screen seemed particularly jarring.
Qi: [You have three seconds to back out, or the dinner will be canceled.]
After threatening his brother, Qi Chenyan opened his WeChat Moments.
Like first, then comment.
Yu Li had just finished chatting with Deng Bailing when she saw a new "+1" post on her WeChat Moments.
The male guest who was interested in her said: "Because your daughter looks like you."
Yu Li's lips curled up, impossible to suppress.
Pear Blossom Grass on the Plain: [Being like you is wonderful.]
Best friend: [Are you two showing off your love in the comments section? I'm kicking this bowl of dog food over!]
The next second: [Your friend deleted a comment.]
