It wasn't until later, on the way home that Lin Shen took Xia Wenxi home, that the two started talking again.
Xia Wenxi didn't have dinner at the Lin family's house. In the afternoon, everyone sat together and chatted. Around three or four o'clock, she got up to say goodbye.
Lin Shen also left to escort her home.
"Don't take what my mom said about having children to heart. I'm not in a rush to have children."
Lin Shen himself is indifferent to having children. He feels good about having a child with Wen Xi, but he is also fine living with just the two of them if they don't have one.
He did not have a strong desire to have the next generation.
Moreover, he remembered the birth of his nephews and nieces. At that time, his eldest and second eldest brothers would occasionally bring their children back, and he could hear the children crying while he was doing his homework upstairs.
It can only be described as ear-piercingly loud.
Just then, the light turned red. After the car stopped, Xia Wenxi said to Lin Shen, "Actually, I really want a child. Of course, I don't mean now, but after we get married, I really want a child."
Looking at the red light countdown ahead, Xia Wenxi explained, "Actually... I really hope that I have someone in this world who is connected to me by blood."
Xia Wenxi actually lacks a sense of security. Although she doesn't consciously try to recall things from the other world, it's as if she has never left and has always been Xia Wenxi of this world since childhood.
She has loving parents, a brother who, although a bit sarcastic, is actually quite nice, and now she has a lover and good friends.
But the better her life is now, the more afraid she is that it will all disappear.
Sometimes, when the night is quiet, she can't help but think about the past; the more she tries not to think about it, the more she does.
Therefore, she wants to try to create more connections between herself and the world.
Lin Shen was unaware of the inside story, but he understood Xia Wenxi's words from another perspective.
Wenxi doesn't know who her biological parents are. Although Uncle Xia and Aunt Ke treat her very well, she still inevitably feels insecure, which is why she wants a child who is related to her by blood.
Although the two people were thinking about different things, it has to be said that they actually arrived at the same conclusion by different paths.
Just a second before the red light countdown ended, Lin Shen took Xia Wenxi's hand.
“Okay, after we get married, we’ll have a child. It’ll have both you and me inside it, it’ll be our common family, its blood will connect you and me, so we’ll all be your family.”
"good."
Xia Wenxi nodded and let out a breath. She didn't want to continue with such a serious and heavy topic, so she raised her hand to show Lin Shen the bracelet his mother had given her that day.
Do you know how much this bracelet costs?
"Forget it, I'd rather not know. How about I buy a safe and put it there?"
Although bracelets are meant to be worn, she would be heartbroken if she accidentally broke such a precious bracelet one day, so it's better to keep it away.
"Okay, I'll ask Wen Sheng where he bought his safe another day."
"Alright. When I get old, this bracelet can be passed down to our daughter or future daughter-in-law. Wouldn't its final destination be to move from this safe to another safe?"
Hearing her words, Lin Shen smiled and slowed down the car. "Then put your hand by the window and let it enjoy the scenery for a while longer."
...
After dropping Xia Wenxi off at home, Lin Shen went inside with her and had dinner before coming out. Xia Wenxi then saw him off to his car.
The two agreed to meet again tomorrow, because poor Mr. Lin had to go back to work on the eighth day of the new year.
When Lin Shen was at dinner, Ke Shurong had many questions to ask her daughter but didn't find an opportunity to ask.
After Xia Wenxi saw Lin Shen off, she entered the living room and saw the three of them standing in a tripod formation.
As the person with the highest status in the family, Ke Shurong naturally sat on the long sofa in the middle.
Xia Hengyuan and Xia Wensheng sat on separate single sofas on either side.
Xia Wenxi walked over and naturally sat down next to Ke Shurong.
"Ask whatever you want."
The father and son looked at Ke Shurong together, waiting for the King of the Xia family to speak first.
Ke Shurong put her arm around her daughter and asked softly, "Xiaobao, how was your meal at Xiaoshen's house today? There are many people there, so no one bullied you, right?"
Since the implementation of the one-child policy, there are indeed very few families with such a large number of members, which is why Ke Shurong asked this question.
Xia Wenxi nodded, "The people in his family that I met today were all very nice. His older brother and sister are all very interesting, and his mother is also very kind."
"Doesn't he also have nephews and nieces? And that kid who had a grudge against you before?"
"Didn't I tell you before?" Xia Wenxi thought for a moment, but couldn't remember whether she had told you or not.
"Today, only his mother, older brother and sister, sister-in-law and brother-in-law are here; the younger generation is not here."
Lin Yu's son, Lin Zijian, and daughter, Lin Song, are both abroad and did not return home for the Chinese New Year. Lin Junying, for some well-known reasons, also did not appear before Xia Wenxi.
Ke Shurong could tell from her daughter's expression that she must have had a pretty good day. She looked down and then at the bracelet on her daughter's wrist.
"Did Xiao Shen's mother give this to you?"
"Yeah, I forgot to take it off just now. I'm afraid to move it around when it's so expensive on my wrist."
Ke Shurong looked at it and said, "This jade is indeed very good. If you don't want to wear it, you can put it away. Otherwise, it would be a real pity if it gets bumped or damaged."
Speaking of bracelets, Xia Wenxi casually asked what gifts Xia Wenxi had received that day.
There's a lot to say about Xia Wenxi.
The first thing she showed off was the food guide to Fan City that Lin Zhan and Du Xuan had given her.
"I'll compile it into an electronic version and send it to our family group chat later. If we don't know where to eat in the future, we can look for it there."
The three members of the Xia family were also surprised to learn that such a gift could be given.
"Now I understand why you said his older brother and sister were interesting."
"This was a gift from his second brother and sister-in-law. They're quite interesting; they said this is only the first edition, featuring only restaurants in Fan City. They'll give us a second edition when I marry Lin Shen, which will cover several surrounding cities."
“That’s great. Why don’t you ask them if they know anything about Jinjiang City? That way, when your sister Minghuan and I go there next time, we’ll have somewhere to eat.”
“Okay. I’ll ask Lin Shen to ask his second brother and sister-in-law if they have any research on Jinjiang City.”
Xia Wensheng also told her to hurry up and ask.
“I have to go to Jinjiang City in March, and Lin Shen is going too. If you’re free then, you can come along.”
Xia Wensheng said that he and Lin Shen were both going...
Xia Wenxi remembered.
"Oh, is it about that outstanding entrepreneur award?"
