Chapter 165 We Will Not Have Any More Children
"Boss Pei, don't worry. Miss Shen and the baby in her belly are fine. They just suffered some minor injuries. They just need to rest well."
In the ward, the doctor said to Pei Jingyan.
Pei Jingyan's solemn expression finally eased a little, "Where's Xia Xia?"
"Little Miss Xia was just a little frightened, and the nurse is playing with her."
Pei Jingyan hummed solemnly, "I understand. Thank you, doctor."
After the doctor left, Pei Jingyan looked at Shen Lai. Catching his gaze, Shen Lai snorted coldly, "Aren't you in a cold war with me? Why are you still so concerned about me?"
She turned her head and looked out the window, not looking at Pei Jingyan, obviously still angry about that night.
Pei Jingyan took a deep breath and sat down beside the bed. "Chen Lai, why do you insist on having another child?"
Shen Lai is usually afraid of even getting an injection, let alone giving birth, which is a life-threatening thing.
He felt that Shen Lai must be hiding something from him.
Shen Lai's eyes flickered, "I just want to have a baby, there's no reason."
Pei Jingyan said calmly: "Do you know that every time you lie, you dare not look at me?"
Shen Lai choked.
Seeing Pei Jingyan looking at her deeply, it seemed that he would not give up until he got the answer.
Shen Lai was silent for a long time, then whispered, "If I can give birth to a son this time, your parents won't make things difficult for you."
Although Pei Jingyan's parents have been very good to Pei Chuxia over the years, she can see that they always feel regretful that they don't have a son to take over.
Every time Shen Lai and Pei Jingyan went back to eat, they always wanted them to have another child.
But every time he brought it up, Pei Jingyan blocked it.
Shen Lai thought that if she could give birth to a boy, perhaps Pei Jingyan's parents would not make things difficult for him anymore.
It seemed as if something was falling apart in Pei Jingyan's eyes. He had thought of all kinds of reasons, but he had never thought it was because of this.
"Is it because of my parents that you insist on having this child?"
Shen Lai nodded and raised his eyes to meet Pei Jingyan's. "I don't want to make things difficult for you."
Pei Jingyan took a deep, trembling breath and said, "Chen Lai, I have never found it difficult to do this. Besides, this body is yours, and only you have the right to make the decision."
"But we are a family." Shen Lai looked at her with his bright eyes, "I can't always let you sacrifice alone."
Isn’t that what marriage is all about?
When you love someone, you are willing to give away everything you have.
Although Shen Lai is not that great, she is willing to compromise once for Pei Jingyan.
Only this time.
Pei Jingyan felt as if his heart was gently hit by something, and it became completely limp.
At this point, Shen Lai suddenly glared at Pei Jingyan and said unhappily: "Besides, who do you blame for this matter?"
Pei Jingyan's face was tense. "I didn't expect I could get pregnant even after taking safety precautions."
Pei Jingyan suddenly felt a little regretful.
If he had known this would happen, he should have gotten a sterilization.
Pei Jingyan raised his hand and touched Shen Lai's cheek, "Then you are not afraid of pain?"
Shen Lai pursed his lips, as if he had made some kind of decision, "For you, I am willing."
Even if she had to pay a price for it, she was mentally prepared. Besides, Pei Jingyan would never let anything happen to her.
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows. "What if the baby is a girl again? Do you want to have another one?"
When this was mentioned, Shen Lai was a little discouraged, "If it really is a daughter, we can only say that we are destined to have no sons."
Pei Jingyan suddenly reached out and hugged Shen Lai into his arms, letting out an almost inaudible sigh, "Fool."
Shen Lai felt Pei Jingyan's warm embrace, raised his head and looked at him with his clear eyes, "Pei Jingyan, let's have another child and we won't have any more children in the future, okay?"
Pei Jingyan looked at Shen Lai's expectant eyes, in which his face was reflected, as if he was the only one in the small world.
His hand around Shen Lai's waist tightened little by little, and after a moment, he let out a breath from his throat, "Okay."
The two finally reached an agreement, but now another difficult problem was faced by Shen Lai.
Pei Chuxia still doesn't know that Shen Lai is pregnant.
Chen Lai didn't know how Pei Chuxia would react when she found out she had a younger brother or sister. After all, many children are worried that having a second child will take away their parents' love.
After Pei Chuxia came over, Shen Lai carefully told her about this.
I was worried that Pei Chuxia would be unhappy when she found out, but when she heard that Shen Lai was pregnant, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Really? Mom, are you really pregnant?"
"Of course it's true."
Pei Chuxia immediately came over and carefully touched Shen Lai's belly with her hand.
"Mom, is it a brother or a sister?" Pei Chuxia asked seriously.
Shen Lai smiled and said, "Mom doesn't know either. Do you like your brother or your sister?"
Pei Chuxia said loudly: "I like both my brothers and sisters."
Not only that, Pei Chuxia also said that she would use all her pocket money to buy gifts for her younger brothers and sisters.
Seeing Pei Chuxia so happy, Shen Lai finally felt relieved.
Although her family was going to have a new member, she didn't want Pei Chuxia to feel left out.
Because of the previous lesson, Pei Jingyan was particularly attentive this time. He sent several bodyguards to protect Shen Lai, and there were people following him when he went in and out.
Although Shen Lai felt it was too ostentatious, she also knew that Pei Jingyan was doing it for her own good.
After all, she almost lost her life in the mall last time.
When she was five months pregnant, Shen Lai stopped her work and focused on taking care of the baby at home.
Worried that she would be bored, Wu Qi often came to keep her company.
Wu Qi and Yan Rui have adopted a child. It is said that they fell in love with the child at first sight in the welfare home. Unlike other enthusiastic children, the little girl was squatting in the corner wearing a washed-out skirt, looking timid like a cub that had just come into this world.
According to the director, the little girl was abandoned by her parents at birth. Perhaps they disliked the fact that she was a girl, and in any case, they never visited her again.
The little girl also knew that her parents didn't like her, so she was quiet and often stayed alone since she was a child. As a result, she was inevitably bullied by other older children and her personality became more introverted.
Wu Qi and Yan Rui hit it off immediately, and they took the little girl home and named her Yan Chenxi.
It symbolizes the first ray of sunshine in the morning, the beginning of a new life and infinite hope.
Because Wu Qi often came to their house, Yan Chenxi quickly became friends with Pei Chuxia and they became good friends.
This can be considered a "child marriage" in a sense.
One day, Shen Lai went out shopping. When she passed through the downtown area, she saw a commotion on the zebra crossing not far away.
It seems that a pregnant woman fell.
As the car passed by, Shen Lai saw through the car window a woman lying on the ground, with the things in her hands scattered all over the floor and blood flowing from between her legs.
None of the onlookers dared to step forward to help, for fear of being blackmailed.
At this time, Shen Lai noticed that the man's face looked somewhat familiar.
She looked closely and found that it was Gao Siqi.
