Chapter 739: Chapter 740: Still Need Miao Xuanxuan’s Help

Li Sijie didn’t ask Song Xiaodong to accompany her, but told her to go straight home.

Originally, Li Sijie was a woman of great understanding, and now that she was pregnant, that maternal gentleness was even more pronounced. Fortunately, the burden in her heart had been lifted after meeting Song Xiaodong. She was even more considerate of Song Xiaodong and did not want to trouble him further.

Song Xiaodong returned home to find both Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing had already come back. They were in good spirits, busy cooking in the kitchen.

"Hurry and wash your hands, dinner is almost ready." Miao Qingqing called out to Song Xiaodong while carrying a plate of food.

Song Xiaodong acknowledged and, after washing his hands, sat down at the dining table.

"Eh, Dongzi, did something good happen?" Song Xiaoru knew Song Xiaodong best and could detect even the slightest change in his expression.

"Ah ha... Yes, something good did happen." Song Xiaodong replied cheerfully.

"Why do I feel like you’ve done something naughty?" Song Xiaoru narrowed her eyes jokingly.

The sudden reality of becoming a father was indeed strange and had him very excited. He wanted to share the news but hesitated to tell Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru, so he just chuckled and said, "Well... I can’t tell you now, you’ll find out later."

"Cut it out, keeping it all mysterious." Miao Qingqing rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong chuckled quietly and said nothing.

When it was time to rest, with the three of them on one bed, Song Xiaoru felt a bit shy but not too awkward. During a tender moment, Song Xiaodong suddenly said, "Sis, Qingqing, I suddenly want to have a child, let’s not use protection, okay?"

"What?" Miao Qingqing gasped, quickly responding, "No, no, that definitely won’t work. I can’t have a child now."

Song Xiaoru paused and said, "This is... too sudden, I’m not prepared either."

"You don’t like children?" Song Xiaodong asked.

Miao Qingqing spoke first, "Even if I hand over the company to my father, there will still be a lot to do at your place. Now is really not a good time for me to have children. Sister Xiaoru should be okay, though."

Song Xiaoru hastily said, "I can’t either. I do like children, but... I can’t be the first to have children, that would be awkward for me. Dongzi, let someone else have your child first, I... really am not ready yet."

Miao Qingqing added, "What about the others... Xuanxuan is playful, she definitely doesn’t want children now. Yingying is not well, it seems only Su’er might agree. Why don’t you go back and let Su’er have one for you?"

"Right, right, Su’er would probably want to have one. Just let her have one first, we can all practice with that child, learn how to be mothers," Song Xiaoru quickly said.

Song Xiaodong snorted with laughter and spoke, "The child Su’er gives birth to, I don’t know if that would be a fortune or a tragedy, being an experiment for so many mothers."

Miao Qingqing chuckled softly and said, "It’s not like we’re playing with the child, we’ll take good care of him, just need some experience."

Feeling spontaneous today, Song Xiaodong had never considered having children so soon, but now he had no choice but to embrace fatherhood, and somewhat looked forward to it.

The next day, Song Xiaodong went directly back to Minghe and shared the news during a private moment with Miao Xuanxuan.

"I go, what a coincidence." Miao Xuanxuan was genuinely surprised, then blinked and said, "Hey, this mess you created, you’re not going to make me clean up after you, are you?"

Song Xiaodong pleaded, "Xuanxuan, you’re the only one who knows about Li Sijie and me. Now that she’s pregnant, I really find it hard to bring it up."

Miao Xuanxuan snorted, "I’m not involved, figure out your own way to bring her back."

Song Xiaodong hurriedly said, "If I suddenly announce it, I’m afraid of what everyone else might think. There are already so many people at home, bringing her and another person."

Miao Xuanxuan retorted unenthusiastically, "Serves you right, should have been careful in the first place."

Song Xiaodong replied, "Back then, I was really uncertain about the future, didn’t even know if I could get past that phase, so I was quite careless. Now that I’m confident, I guess I have to take responsibility."

Miao Xuanxuan pinched him and said, "I know President Li well, know what kind of person she is, and I also think she’s quite pitiful, otherwise I wouldn’t help you. If you get involved with another woman in the future, not only will I not help you, but I will also unite with everyone to criticize you."

"Yes, yes, I have you guys, that’s enough. Sijie was truly an accident," Song Xiaodong hurriedly agreed with a smile.

Miao Xuanxuan said, "Then I’ll make a trip to Tiannan, and just ’accidentally’ run into her. You play oblivious and act aggrieved."

"This... sounds a bit deceitful." Song Xiaodong felt a bit guilty.

Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong a stern look, "What else can we do then? If you directly say it, people will still feel uncomfortable. If I say it, others can only accept it as an accident."

"It’s good, but it feels like lying, and I really don’t want to lie to everyone."

"Then just come clean, it’s your choice."

"This... let’s play it safe first with your plan, and I’ll come clean later," Song Xiaodong decided."

"I go, that puts me in the mix too, you’re quite something," Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong a big eye roll.

Song Xiaodong gave a dry laugh and said, "Who else could be my most caring wife but my Xuanxuan? When I’m in trouble, you’re the first person I think of who can help me."

"Hmph, good to know. In the future, whenever there’s something good, you’d better think of me first, or else I definitely won’t let you off," Miao Xuanxuan barked menacingly, but Song Xiaodong knew well that Miao Xuanxuan was neither really angry nor truly threatening him. More than a lover, Miao Xuanxuan was his best friend.

Miao Xuanxuan blinked and suddenly chuckled, saying, "Suddenly thinking about adding a little baby to the home, this is actually quite exciting."

"Hehe... I’m excited too, shall we also have one?"

Miao Xuanxuan quickly waved Song Xiaodong’s hand away and said, "Back off! I haven’t had enough fun yet, don’t think about making me have a child just yet."
