Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: So We Can’t Have a Little Sister Today?

Shen Mianmian nodded her head, squinting her eyes and smiling, "Yes, we can indeed sleep in separate beds now. I was planning to have someone redecorate the room next door for Xiaobei after I finish filming this movie."

Glancing at the sleeping He Xiaobei on the bed, He Nan whispered, "Leave this to me. You just focus on your filming."

"Alright," Shen Mianmian nodded, "Let’s go to bed early then! We need to get up early tomorrow."

After finishing her sentence, she was about to go to bed when He Nan suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Breathing in her faint scent, He Nan felt an unusual peace in his heart.

Shen Mianmian hugged him back, listening to his heartbeat, when He Nan said, "After we get married, let’s have another daughter, one who looks like you."

Shen Mianmian playfully responded, "What if it’s a son?"

He Nan kissed her forehead and replied, "If it’s a son, we can have another child if you want; if you don’t, then we’ll just raise two sons."

"No, I want a little sister. It’s better to have a little sister."

Suddenly, He Xiaobei’s voice floated over. Shen Mianmian jumped in surprise, turning her head to see Xiaobei, who she hadn’t noticed had woken up. His large eyes gazed roundly at them. Caught hugging each other in the middle of the night, Shen Mianmian felt incredibly shy and hurriedly let go of He Nan.

"Why are you awake?"

"My godmother told me to go sleep there, so you and dad can make me a little sister, but I was too sleepy. I wanted to take a nap first before going, and I couldn’t sleep well because something was on my mind," Xiaobei spoke like a little adult, amusing Shen Mianmian.

"You should have gone already, go to sleep now!"

"So we can’t have a baby sister today?"

Xiaobei seemed disappointed; sleep was a big interruption.

He Nan frowned, "First, go to sleep. You’ve given your mom a scare."

"Okay, daddy."

Xiaobei obediently closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Shen Mianmian looked at his well-behaved figure, feeling exceptionally at ease.

With He Xiaobei’s interruption, both Shen Mianmian and He Nan did not dare to engage in further affectionate acts. Shen Mianmian quickly fell asleep, but He Nan could not. Looking at the two small faces beside him, he felt incredibly grounded yet as if he was dreaming.

Five years of island life had greatly sharpened one’s mental resilience.

Shen Mianmian slept until 6:30 am, looked at the time, and said, "After breakfast, we can drop Xiaobei off at school."

Her scenes were in the afternoon, so dropping off He Xiaobei then heading to the set wouldn’t cause any delay.

"Mhmm," He Nan peeled an egg for Shen Mianmian, which made Xiaobei enviously exclaim, "Wow, dad is so thoughtful!"

Shen Mianmian chuckled softly, "Hurry up and eat."

Xiaobei seemed cheerful and ate more than usual, finishing quite quickly. After breakfast, he looked at the clock and said, "Dad, mom, let’s wait ten minutes before leaving."

"Why?" Shen Mianmian felt puzzled. There wasn’t any difference between leaving now and ten minutes later, right?

"Ten minutes later, there will be the most parents dropping off their kids at the kindergarten," Xiaobei explained.

Hearing this, Shen Mianmian’s heart suddenly ached. Over the past two years, it had been her and Fu Hua taking turns sending Xiaobei to school. Since Xiaobei was He Nan’s son and many knew her, some children teased that Xiaobei didn’t have a dad.

When Xiaobei first started school, this had deeply troubled him.
