Chapter 498: Have a Few More Children
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Du Meilan didn’t go to work today. She gave herself a day off and took care of everything at home while waiting for her son and in-laws to come back in the evening.
Bill accompanied Pei Xi for a pregnancy checkup. Everything went smoothly and they even attended a newbie parenting class before returning.
Pei Xi bought a lot of things for the baby. Milk bottles, pacifiers, clothes and toys. As she did not know if it was a boy or a girl, she bought a set of black, white, red, yellow, and all kinds of colors.
She got them delivered to the Pei family.
The amount of things she bought was shocking.
Pei Xi watched from the side as the staff unloaded the truck.
Bill found that one of the baby’s milk bottles had his favorite character printed on it.
His eyes lit up. “Baby, that’s so cute. Did you buy it because I like it?”
“Put the stroller inside. It’s quite heavy…”
Bill saw that Pei Xi was busy instructing the staff and did not hear him speak, so he placed the milk bottle in front of her and shook it. “Baby, this milk bottle…
Pei Xi looked at it. Bill thought that she had finally noticed him, but in the next second, Pei Xi took the milk bottle away and handed it to another staff member.
“And this, please put it together with those things…”
Bill:
For ten years in a row, Bill the Hollywood superstar, was voted as the most attractive man in the world.
However, he was ignored by his pregnant wife!
Now that he thought about it, since his wife was pregnant, they hadn’t…
Previously, she was worried about the health of the fetus. He understood that very well and thought the same way. Later on, when she had morning sickness, he couldn’t bear to subject her to anything else. However, in the past month, the pregnancy had become more and more stable, and Pei Xi’s body had completely recovered. There should be no more obstacles, but his wife…seemed to have lost interest in him!
Bill lowered his head and lifted up his T-shirt. His neat, eight-packs shone brightly under the sun.
He was still in good condition.
Could it be that his wife was already sick of his body?
“Why are you standing there and not going in?” Pei Xi looked at him strangely, and Bill finally came back to his senses. He put down his T-shirt and walked back with her.
Du Meilan looked at the carts of baby supplies moving to the backyard and patted Pei Xi on the shoulder. “I don’t object to you buying things, but since you’ve bought them, don’t waste them and have a few more children.
Pei Xi shivered. Madam Du had been infected by Pei Qingshen since she came back. She kept telling them to get married and have children.
She looked around and quickly changed the topic. ‘Where’s Su Ji?”
At the mention of this, Du Meilan was quite happy. “She is so cute. She said that she is going back to the Xu family and wanted to buy a small pet for Pei Huai.
She was worried that Pei Huai would miss her too much when she was not around. ”
“A pet?” Pei Xi looked at Bill with great interest.
Bill was an animal person. Just the thought of it was healing.
Since Pei Huai was obsessed with cleanliness, no pets could enter their house. Pei Xi was also looking forward to what it would feel like to have a super cute, clingy little cat or dog at home, but she was more looking forward to….
“Mom, do you think Pei Huai will accept it? If the animal left fur on his clothes, it would probably drive him crazy, right? But since it is from Su Ji, he couldn’t show it. Thinking of his conflicted expression, I want to laugh. When is he coming back? I’m already looking forward to it!”
Du Meilan also smiled. “Who knows?”
“Madam, you have a call! It’s from State M!” The servant was holding the phone receiver in the living room. Du Meilan and Pei Xi looked over.
The relaxed and happy atmosphere instantly cooled down.
“Why State M again? Don’t tell me it’s the duke again…” Pei Xi frowned.
Du Meilan glanced at her and didn’t say anything. She went to the living room to answer the phone.
Du Meilan saw the caller ID and understood. The call was connected, and the duke’s hearty laughter sounded on the other end.
The duke started by talking about yesterday’s party and finally got to the point.
Du Meilan said, “well, it’s a pity that you didn’t manage to see him. Pei Huai should have taken the initiative to see you.”
The duke then said, “he seems to have met my daughter. The two seem to be fated.”
Du Meilan was silent for a moment.
However, it was only for a moment before she replied in a normal tone, “they haven’t seen each other for ten years, right? Anna had also grown up. I wonder if she still remembers her big brother.”
“How could she forget? She’s been asking us about it for the past ten years. She asked why he came to our house again.” The duke did not mention that Anna had gone back crying.
Du Meilan’s expression changed. “You want to send Anna to China for treatment? What about her studies?”
“It doesn’t matter if she goes to that school or not. Her health is more important. I’ve already arranged everything. She just needs to go back and take the exam in the middle of the year.” The duke was half-joking. “Why? You don’t want Anna to go to China? Are you afraid of trouble?”
Du Meilan also replied with a joke, “how can a duke say that?”
The duke laughed. “I’m just joking. But to be honest, regarding Anna’s accommodation… I’m indeed a little worried. I’m going on a business trip to State O tomorrow, and it’ll take about a month. I’m worried about letting her stay in a hotel. I’m thinking of buying her a house, but I’m afraid that the servants will bully her if she stays there alone. Sigh, I pity parents. I’m sorry to ask, but maybe you could…”
At this point, Du Meilan couldn’t pretend that she didn’t understand. When Pei
Huai went to State M to study, the duke did take care of him even though Pei
Huai treated Anna in exchange. However, the duke clearly wished to be repaid.
Du Meilan smiled. “I was just about to say it. Since Anna is here, she can stay with us first. Pei Huai understands her condition, so you don’t have to worry about her food, clothing, and accommodation.”O
“Aiya,” the duke sounded like he was relieved of a heavy burden. “That’s too much trouble for you, but it won’t take long. When I come back from this business trip, I’ll arrange another place for her to stay.”
Du Meilan said, “we are old friends.. Don’t be so polite with me over such a small matter…’
