Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 1000 - 1: Prophecy and Twins_2

So Tang Xian made up a bunch of reasons saying how wonderful girls were, but inwardly he prayed a thousand times that it must be a boy!

The reason he said it would be a girl was just to make himself appear more confident.

How many people live in Baichuan City?

Even though there were quite a few casualties from battles, there were still millions of people. The place was quite big, and there were no traffic stars because the people in Tang Xian's circle were the biggest stars. If the news got out that Tang Xian's daughter looked exactly like some little girl... just thinking about it gave Tang Xian a headache.

Hence, he displayed a strong desire for a girl, but privately, this God-slayer even started praying fervently.

But for such matters... it really depends on fate.

So, before long, Tang Xian used some connections to have Qiao Shanshan do a prenatal checkup, and finally, Li Xiaoyu and Qiao Shanshan brought back good news—it's a boy!

Only then did Tang Xian truly relax, though he still put on a slightly disappointed face on the surface. But in reality, he looked at Qi Yuan with a bit of a mocking expression.

With all his calculations, he hadn't expected the heavens would be on his side, right?

In the following days, as a new father, Tang Xian wouldn't let the workaholic Li Xiaoyu manage any matters in Baichuan City. He took the lead himself, starting to handle the things Li Xiaoyu usually dealt with.

Baichuan City was getting back on track, everything was thriving, and naturally, things were busy. Li Xiaoyu stayed at home for rest, and when she had time, she chatted with Tang Xiuxiu about raising children because, the previous year, Shang Lu and Tang Xiuxiu had also had a child.

The child was over a year old by now, showing remarkable intelligence. Taking care of him was convenient too.

But Li Xiaoyu was afraid that the child she and Tang Xian gave birth to wouldn't be smart enough, a complete case of prenatal anxiety.

In any case, nine months of peaceful days passed, and Tang Xian finally awaited the day of labor.

Three years after the war, at this moment, today, Tang Xian was quite anxious sitting outside the delivery room.

He had calculated, Ju Mang had calculated too, that Li Xiaoyu's physique wouldn't pose a risk during childbirth.

But Tang Xian was still nervous. Just the night before, he had such a bizarre dream.

In the dream, the scene was like some ancient mythical drama where a Qilin-armed curly-headed guy and another refined beast waited outside, while the woman inside was giving birth to a child.

Outside the door, the two men, the curly-headed Qilin arm had the name of husband with the woman, the refined beast had the reality of being her husband.

Then they heard the baby's first cries, and the two men excitedly said: I'm a dad! I'm a dad!

The final smile was awkward yet polite.

However, there was a slight twist in Tang Xian's dream; he dreamt that he was giving birth, with Li Xiaoyu and Qi Yuan standing outside. The kid was a girl, and when the baby cried.

Qi Yuan and Li Xiaoyu excitedly said together: I'm a mom! I'm a mom!

Look at how anxious this dream made Tang Xian! What kind of crazy dream was this?

A baby's cry snapped Tang Xian back to reality. His arm trembled slightly, his whole body froze, as if time had stopped flowing. He didn't know how long it took before he snapped out of it and saw Qiao Shanshan carrying a baby boy out, saying:

"Congratulations, Tang Xian, the little one's crying is really vigorous!"

The moment Tang Xian saw the baby, his frozen expression instantly broke into a smile.

But that smile didn't last long before it froze again.

Because another baby's cry came from the delivery room.

Uh-oh!

Tang Xian's smile instantly stuck, awkward yet polite, yet utterly comical.

Qiao Shanshan burst into laughter:

"We did this on purpose, Xiao Yu and I kept it from you, hahaha, you didn't expect this! Actually, Xiao Yu was pregnant with fraternal twins! We just didn't tell you, to give you a surprise!"

Surprise?

Tang Xian was utterly bewildered. Once he snapped back to his senses, he really wanted to storm into Song Que's house, point at Song Que, and say—get your wife to translate what the heck this so-called surprise means!

The ups and downs of life came too quickly. Qi Yuan seemed to have known all along. At just the right moment, she appeared at the delivery room door, showing a sweet ten-year-old girl's smile and said:

"Did Sister Yu give birth? The child must be really cute, right?"

Tang Xian hesitated to speak, wanting to stop yet wanting to speak, eventually forgetting what to say.

It was actually just a small episode. Deep down, for Tang Xian, whether it's a daughter or a son, he would love them either way.

Though in the future, if his daughter... probably couldn't be distinguished from someone else, it would indeed be a headache.

However, when he saw Ling Yi carrying his little daughter, and when he saw Li Xiaoyu sweating profusely with pale lips, he was suddenly melted by that scene.

"They'll surely be very happy in the future," Tang Xian said.

"We will too," Li Xiaoyu's voice was small yet full of satisfaction.

...

...

The birth of Tang Xian and Li Xiaoyu's children soon spread.

About a week later, Qing JiuYu and Bai Mansheng also came to see Tang Xian's children, the boy.

In the nursery, the two women with a charm value of ninety-five no longer bickered but quietly watched Tang Xian's child lying in the crib.

"Will he be very smart in the future?" Qing JiuYu asked.

Bai Mansheng nodded and said:

"Maybe even smarter than Tang Xian."

"And maybe even cuter than Tang Xian."

"I think he might even be more popular with the girls than Tang Xian."

"He'll be the leader of Baichuan City one day, right?"

"Naturally."

"According to human terms, he might even be a more gifted individual than his father."

"In any case, he's a promising talent, one that must be well-educated, can't end up as untrustworthy as his father."

Speaking of untrustworthiness, Bai Mansheng remembered the various fragmented novels Tang Xian had sent before, and inexplicably angry, she nodded and said:

"Indeed, I'll make sure to teach this child well."

"You'll teach him? Teach him what? I will."

"I've at least read many books; what can a fox like you do?"

"In all the books you've read, is there even half a word on how to educate children?"

"Anyway, I won't let you, fox beauty, touch him; just manage your clothing store well."

"I think you are the one; since you love reading so much, there are countless books in the world, just go and read them well, this child looks so pitiful, Little White Snake, better not get involved, I've at least taken care of Xiao Ni, and you?"

"So, you're going to fight me over this?"

"What if I am?"

The two women started arguing, and just as Tang Xian returned, he saw this scene. He shook his head, believing women were truly hard to understand, and Tang was indeed quite charming.

But suddenly, as he watched the two women arguing, he suddenly understood something.

Oh... so that's what it means.
