Chapter 191 190. I can’t have children in this life...
"sugar……"
The little guy was stunned.
The big black eyes looked at his father blankly, then looked at the sweet candy in his hand, raised the candy and tried hard to give it to his father.
"Daddy, have some candy~"
"Sugar, sweet~"
The voice is as sweet as candy.
Little Ginger held the saliva-stained candy in his little hands, and his little mouth drooled a little because of greed, but he still resisted the urge to eat the one from his brother Xiaobao.
Lei Li couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He held Xiao Shengjiang's lotus root arm and pushed the candy back into Xiao Shengjiang's mouth. He laughed again when he saw Xiao Shengjiang's confused expression.
"Daddy was just joking. Eat ginger. Why would Daddy eat ginger candy?"
"Eat ginger?"
"Yeah, Daddy doesn't eat it, he eats ginger."
"Hehe~"
Little Ginger curved his eyes happily. The candy in his mouth was sweet and his hands were sticky. The frugal and greedy little Ginger wanted to put his hands in his mouth to suck them, but Zhou Yi's father wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief.
Not sticky anymore.
The little ginger opened his hands curiously, like a kitten giving its paws a flower.
The little guy remembered that he wanted to give candy to his brother Xiaobao, so he stopped playing the hand-flowering game and said sweetly, "Ginger, go find brother Xiaobao~"
"Go ahead, run slower."
"Ginger knows!"
Little Ginger smiled happily and ran out of the main room, calling "Brother Xiaobao" in a baby voice and ran away with the candy in his hand.
The adults in the main room could still hear the voices of the children in the yard.
"Tangtang! Brother Xiaobao!"
"Brother, you've seen it. Walk slower, Ginger, and don't fall."
"I know!"
"Who opened the candy wrapper? Was it Ginger?"
"It's Daddy~"
"Does the ginger have sugar?"
"Yes! Ginger, ginger has candy! Brother also has candy, candy is sweet~"
"Brother eats too."
"Hehe~"
The adults in the main room also laughed.
"Ginger is so cute."
Meng Luo sighed with delight and envy, "She even remembers to give candy to her brother. Why are those kids at my eldest brother's house so noisy? It's good enough that they don't snatch my candy."
“That’s it!”
Lei Li put his hand on Zhou Yi's shoulder and said with a smile, "My husband is so well-behaved, so little Jiang will be well-behaved too. He is a caring little cotton-padded jacket born from a caring big quilt~"
"Big quilt, hahaha..."
Meng Luo was amused, and suddenly a bad idea came to his mind. "Hey - Lei Li, didn't you tell me before that if I bring a child back, my parents will definitely not object to my marriage with Xiaoqing?"
“…”
Mei Yuqing's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Meng Luo with a hint of nervousness in her eyes that she herself didn't even notice.
Lei Li accidentally caught a glimpse of it, his eyes wandering between him and Meng Luo, thinking about something in his heart, while listening to Meng Luo say,
"Little Jiang is so cute, and she even knows how to write and sing nursery rhymes in school. If I take her home and call her grandpa and grandma, she'll definitely make my parents obey me."
"You kid have this idea."
Lei Li scolded him with a laugh, then teased him, "That's not impossible. You can spend some money to rent Xiao Shengjiang for a few months. Zhou Yi and I won't have to take care of the child, so we can relax and enjoy some time alone together."
"For the sake of my son, I don't ask for much. One million or eight hundred thousand taels will do."
"You really dare to think so."
Meng Luo laughed heartily when he heard this, "You're not afraid that the little ginger will cry if he finds out."
"Pack up your little treasure and take him over too. He won't cry if he's with him."
Lei Li half-jokingly said, "He's very attached to Xiaobao. Sometimes he even goes to A Miao's house to sleep with Xiaobao at night. If he gets a piece of candy, he'll bite off half and give it to Xiaobao."
"If Sheng Jiang and Xiao Bao really get married in the future, they'll be 'grandson and granddaughter-in-law'. Wouldn't it be unreasonable for your parents not to give them a generous gift?"
"You kid have this idea."
Meng Luo was overjoyed and encouraged, "But to be honest, Jiang already has several godfathers, so adding me and Xiaoqing wouldn't be too many."
"That's true."
Lei Li laughed. "A Miao, Zhang Daqiang, Zhu Zhu'er, Zhu Qingshan, plus Zhou Yi and I, that's six dads. Add you two and it's eight. 888, ...
"yes!"
Meng Luo said this cheerfully, and then smiled at Mei and Qing, "Xiao Qing likes little ginger too, right? We already have children, so we don't have to give birth ourselves, hehe."
"You're so clever!"
Lei Li cursed with a laugh, Meng Luo laughed out loud, Mei Yuqing also forced out a faint smile, but there was a hint of worry in her slightly drooping eyes.
The laughter and noise completely dispelled the dull atmosphere that had just been caused by the foreigners. As they chatted, a few people went to the kitchen to prepare lunch together.
Don't waste the best beef.
At noon, he also invited Miao Fulang and Liu Xiaocao's family to have dinner. Meng Luo had a good relationship with both families, and the presence of children at the dinner table made the atmosphere more lively.
However, Mei Yuqing felt a little heavy in her heart when she saw Meng Luo playing with a few other children.
Lei Li saw this from the corner of his eye, smiled and asked softly, "Aren't you going to play with Meng Luo and the kids? I see you like Jiang very much, and you brought him so many snacks and toys."
"I'm not very good with children."
Mei Yuqing shook her head lightly.
"Yeah?"
Lei Li looked at the children playing around, not at Mei and Qing's stiff expressions, and said, "I heard Meng Luo talk about what happened between you two."
"The Meng family is also a wealthy family, so it's natural for them to care about their offspring. Although I have my eldest and second brothers to share the pressure, it's not a good idea to keep dragging it out like this."
“…”
Mei Yuqing lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "Are you here to persuade me to leave Mengluo?"
"No."
Lei Li shook his head and said, "What I meant was that Meng Luo likes children, but he likes you even more. Whether or not you have children won't become a barrier between you two. At least not for now."
"But this can't be done by Mengluo alone. It also depends on you. Have you ever thought about sharing the burden with Mengluo?"
“…”
Mei and Qing were silent for a moment and shook their heads slightly.
He really didn't think about sharing the burden, and maybe he didn't like Mengluo that much.
In fact, his coldness and inaction largely stemmed from his pessimism. He always felt that the beginning of his relationship with Mengluo was due to appearance and money, and their ending was also fatal because of this.
Even though Meng Luo seemed to be kicked out of the house because of him and disobeyed his parents and did not marry or have children because of him, Mei Yuqing understood that as long as Meng Luo was willing, he could return to the Meng family at any time and marry and have children with a woman with a clean family background.
And he ended up being abandoned.
Therefore, he did not understand, did not have a deep understanding, kept to himself, and protected himself. When Meng Luo's passion for him was exhausted, he could get away safely.
He took with him the money that Mengluo left him and the little bit of self-esteem he had left.
“Don’t be wishful thinking.”
Lei Li's gaze suddenly fixed on Mei Yuqing's face. "This is the advice Zhou Yi and I once gave Meng Luo, but now I think you need it too."
"Don't indulge in wishful thinking or self-righteous speculation about your results. This is unfair to Mengluo."
"He invested his feelings, time, and energy, his greatest enthusiasm and expectations, while you gave nothing. When things didn't go as planned, you said with self-pity—"
"I knew it would be like this."
“…”
Mei Yuqing remained silent. He just looked into Lei Li's eyes, which were almost aggressive, calm and harsh.
"Maybe I said something that hurt you."
Lei Li said calmly and indifferently, "But Meng Luo is my friend. He's easily deceived and gives his heart easily. He's different from the people you've met before."
"You think some of your actions are for Mengluo's own good, hoping to make him give up and return to his original life, but is this what Mengluo wants?"
“…”
Mei Yuqing stared at him for a long moment before she spoke softly, "So, what do you think I should do?"
“It’s not about what I think you should do, but what you think you should do.”
Lei Li said, "If you really like Mengluo, you should express your thoughts, concerns, and expectations. If you don't like Mengluo, then just be honest."
"He's not the kind of person who would take revenge. He'll let you go."
Although he was very hesitant and entangled before letting them go, Meng Luo is essentially a naive and kind person. He will redeem Mei and Qing from the theater, rack his brains to please Mei and Qing, be willing to lie under Mei and Qing, and let Mei and Qing go with tears.
Before, Lei Li deliberately teased Meng Luo and asked him to use the child to tie up Mei Yuqing, but he never forced Mei Yuqing.
That is why Lei Li and Zhou Yi have always been friends with Meng Luo.
"Don't keep him hanging."
Before Mei Yuqing could say anything, Lei Li said bluntly, "Don't tell me you didn't keep him hanging. You promised to go lantern shopping with him and even made a lantern for him yourself, making him so happy he was a fool, and then you ran away the next day."
"It would be easy for that naive man to coax a body into his body contract. With the few insignificant people he arranged, it would be strange if you couldn't escape."
"Setting fire to the villa and taking advantage of the chaos to run away with the money, isn't that like the sea is wide and the sky is high, allowing fish to leap and birds to fly? If you really didn't want to, you would have committed suicide long ago."
“…”
Mei and Qing were left speechless.
He thought about what Lei Li had said, and was troubled on the way back. Even the naive Meng Luo could tell something was wrong and asked him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Mei Yuqing paused and then said, "I see you're having a lot of fun playing with Sheng Jiang and the others. Do you like children very much?"
"I like it."
Meng Luo nodded without hesitation, "How cute the child is!"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Mei Yuqing and chuckled, "If we could have a child, it would definitely be as good-looking as you. It's up to you to decide the height, as I'm a bit short."
“…”
Mei Yuqing was silent for a moment, then said, "I... don't think you're short."
"Why……?"
Meng Luo was stunned for a moment. "But before, didn't you say you didn't like people shorter than you? That's why you never accepted me?"
Mengluo is 178cm tall, not very short, but Mei and Qing are about 185cm tall, so he looks a little short compared to them.
“…I lied to you.”
Mei Yuqing whispered, "It's me... I can't have children. I'm a male actor. In order to maintain my figure and voice, the theater owner drugged me when I was a child. In this life... I can't have children."
