My Youth Began With Him

“Although Mom didn’t tell me and Aunt Jie didn’t ask her in front of me, I can still guess the result from my mom’s behavior.”

“Your mom’s behavior?” Qin Chu asked with a smile.

“We were supposed to go home after the prenatal examination, but Mom suddenly said she’d come to the company to see you. Isn’t it a sign of her excitement?” Little Bean analyzed reasonably.

“Very good. Continue with your analysis, Little Qin.”

“I think Mom must know the gender of the baby; since she wanted to come and see you, I’m sure the baby is a little brother.”

“How can you be so sure? What if it’s a little sister?”

“That’s impossible. Even though you all say you don’t care it’s a boy or a girl, we don’t need girls now since you have me and my sister. So, if Mom gives birth to a boy, everyone will be happy. I overheard Grandpa and Grandma say that they wished this baby is a boy, so our Qin Family will have an heir…”

Hearing her words, Qin Chu couldn’t smile; he felt a lump in his throat.

He kissed Little Bean on the forehead lovingly.

“Little Bean, Dad and Mom love you and your sister very much. No matter if your mom gives birth to a boy or a girl, I’ll always love you and your sister as much as before.”

“Of course, I know that. They say daughters were their father’s lovers in their last lifetime. So, Old Qin, you don’t have to explain to me because I trust you won’t dump your lovers from your previous lives…” Little Bean comforted Qin Chu.

The words sounded ridiculous, but Qin Chu felt warm inside.

Little Bean wasn’t as thoughtful as Pudding and she was also a babbler and an eating machine, but no one could resist her when she got serious. Fortunately, Mr. Qin was strong enough or he’d burst into tears when he heard these words.

“Yeah. We’ll be a family forever. Dad and Mom love each of you with the same love.”

“Okay. Old Qin, you don’t have to be so sentimental with me. I think it’s a good thing that Mom has a boy this time. After all, someone needs to inherit the great fortune of our family. My sister is capable, but she’s still a girl; when she marries, she’ll bring our money to another family, right? If that happens, then Uncle Wei’s family will be richer than us. So, if Mom gives birth to a boy, we’ll have someone to manage the company; when my sister and I get bullied, we’ll have someone to protect us… When you and Mom are old, our brother will help me and my sister to take care of you guys. In conclusion, I think it’s a good thing to have a brother to share the burden and take blame.”

Little Bean’s logic was impeccable. Qin Chu had never listened to her so earnestly.

He actually found that she made perfect sense.

“Little Bean, you’re right. I’m proud of you.”

“Um… Since you like what I said, Old Qin, can you order a box of egg tarts for me?”

“Didn’t you eat something with your mom?”

“Egg tarts are a snack, not the main meal.”

“Fine…” Qin Chu admitted total defeat to his daughter.

“By the way, don’t tell Mom; she doesn’t like me eating sweet stuff,” Little Bean said guiltily.

As she mentioned Huo Mian, Qin Chu suddenly realized that he hadn’t heard from her for a long time. He wondered what she was busy with.

Picking up his cellphone, he called Huo Mian…
