"Your turn." Tong Yao turned her head and gave Si Chen a fierce yet playful look, as if she was determined to fight against him if he dared to express a preference for having a son in the future.
Surprised by the sudden transition of the conversation to future children, Si Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable and cleared his throat, "I have no demands whether it's a boy or a girl." What actually matters is who the mother is.
Si Chen felt warm and contented, like a sip of good wine, at the idea of having children with Tong Yao, picturing her waiting at home with their child. If they were to have a daughter, he hoped that she resembled Tong Yao. He would protect both mother and daughter. If it was a son, he and his son could protect Tong Yao together.
