Yu Jingting's "tactful" question was as straightforward as it could be.
Chen Lijun revealed an ambiguous smile.
"You naughty kid, why don't you ask this in front of Suizi?"
Yu Jingting squatted next to her, smoking side by side.
"My wife is in her confinement period, I can't let her worry about this."
Chen Lijun languidly blew a puff of smoke, her gaze distant.
"I'm going through menopause, I can't burden my mind too."
"You're only forty, what menopause are you talking about?"
"Young man, let me tell you a secret, actually, I gave birth to Suizi after drinking water in the woman's kingdom."
"Stop it!"
Chen Lijun finished her last puff of smoke, stubbed out the cigarette and sighed.
"Such a naive kid, studying what? It's not fun to tease you because you can't be fooled."
"Even without literacy I'd never be naive enough to believe such nonsense, you go and ask Jiaojiao, see if she believes it?" A ten-year-old kid wouldn't believe this nonsense.
