Chapter 913: Chapter 914: Favoring Boys Over Girls?

"Sun One?" Sun Ziyun’s mind was still quite sharp, and she quickly said, "You didn’t hear Sun One as Sun Yiyi, did you?"

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "That’s possible. So, let me ask you, who is Sun One?"

"Sun One... has always been a very mysterious person, like a totem in our Sun family. Except for Grandpa, everyone holds her in high regard. Ever since I saw her as a child, she always wore a veil, and no one knows what she actually looks like."

Song Xiaodong was a bit astonished, "You saw her when you were a child? When did that start?"

"I think I was about five or six years old."

Song Xiaodong asked in confusion, "Was she the top expert of the Sun family back then?"

Sun Ziyun nodded affirmatively, "She has always been the top expert of our Sun family."

This left Song Xiaodong somewhat dumbfounded. Sun Ziyun is twenty-three years old now, and if she saw Sun One at five or six, then that was seventeen or eighteen years ago. Sun Yiyi’s age, though Song Xiaodong didn’t know exactly, certainly wouldn’t be over twenty-five. How could she be the top expert?

"What’s the matter? Is there a problem with that?" Sun Ziyun looked at Song Xiaodong with curiosity.

Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "I feel a bit confused. Let me ask you, have you ever been to where Sun One lives? Who else is there?"

"I’ve never been there. The place where Sun One lives is a forbidden area in our Sun family. No one is allowed to go there. Even my grandpa can’t go there without Sun One’s permission. As for who else might be in there, I really have no idea. If you want to know, I can help you ask around."

"No need. You’re no longer a part of the Sun family since you’re now a member of the Su family. Asking these questions would be inappropriate. Besides, it’s not that big a deal for me to figure out."

The sentence "You’re a member of the Su family now" made Sun Ziyun very happy, and she said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. Anyway, whatever I know, I’ll definitely tell you."

Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly and said, "Now I can understand why big families don’t let their daughters know too much. Girls tend to side with their husband’s family after marriage, revealing all the nitty-gritty of their own family."

"It really seems that way."

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly, "I really don’t know if I should let our daughter be like that in the future. Otherwise, she’d get married and sell me, this old dad, out, and I’d be heartbroken."

Sun Ziyun smiled sweetly and said, "Then let’s have a son."

"True, having a son saves a lot of hassle, haha... We’re being sexist, though, and that’s not good."

"Haha... Indeed, indeed," Sun Ziyun also giggled.

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying walked in, both with surprised looks on their faces. Xiao Yingying grinned and said, "Did we come back at a bad time?"

Sun Ziyun realized just how well she was getting along with Song Xiaodong and felt sweet inside. She said, "We were discussing whether to have a son or a daughter. Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

"Wow, you’re actually talking about such a heated topic. Does this mean you’ve already planted a seed?" Xiao Yingying came over, sat beside Sun Ziyun, and touched her belly.

Sun Ziyun was instantly embarrassed, "No, not at all."

Xiao Yingying said incredulously, "No? Impossible. No seed, and you’re talking about kids?"

Sun Ziyun glanced at Song Xiaodong and said, "Our Family Head isn’t sowing any seeds, what can I do?"

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying both burst into laughter. Miao Xuanxuan said, "I say, Dongzi, look how resentful Ziyun is. Tonight, I’ll grant you a special privilege to take on this arduous task, will you?"

Xiao Yingying immediately chimed in, "Yes, then there will be four shifts among the eight of us, two each night. Ziyun, do you want me to pair up with you? Don’t worry, I’ll teach you."

Although Sun Ziyun was quite a bold woman, being in this kind of environment, she knew what was going on at home. However, when talking about this topic, she still felt rather shy, glanced at Song Xiaodong, and said, "I don’t mind, but it’s up to Dongzi."

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "Don’t worry, there will be plenty of opportunities later. You all chat, I’ll go take a shower first."

Watching Song Xiaodong go upstairs, Miao Xuanxuan patted Sun Ziyun on the shoulder and said, "This is a good start. At least Dongzi is beginning to accept you. Keep it up."

Sun Ziyun nodded and said, "I will do my best. Thank you for always supporting me, and not rejecting me."

She was in a very good mood. She had made significant progress today, truly starting to integrate into this family rather than remaining awkwardly on the periphery.

And she sincerely thanked Miao Xuanxuan and the others. If they had been as resistant as Song Xiaodong initially was, staying here would have been very difficult for her. Luckily, everyone was quite friendly at the beginning, so she wasn’t completely isolated, allowing her to hold on this long.

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled lightly, "We’re all family, no need to talk about these things. We’ll leave you now. Yingying and I are going to accompany Dongzi for a bath. Keep it up!"

The two of them ran upstairs, leaving only Sun Ziyun behind, watching their backs with an envious look.

During this period, everyone had things to do, so the people who stayed with Song Xiaodong were adjusted. Xiao Yingying and Miao Xuanxuan were involved in the entertainment industry, so they were almost always together, so they were paired up.

Song Xiaoru, Miao Qingqing, and Shui Qingyue were busy together every day, so Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing were paired, while Shui Qingyue, Lin Su’er, and Li Sijie were a trio.

That way, everyone could reasonably balance things, avoiding any issue of someone having too much or too little involvement.

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying had always been bold and imaginative. When the two are together, they can definitely ignite the hottest sparks with Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong had just taken off his clothes and entered the bathtub when they ran in.

"Hubby, let’s bathe together," Xiao Yingying said with a mischievous grin.

Song Xiaodong laughed, "As you wish."

Miao Xuanxuan let out a giggle, "You’re acting all superior now, being the Family Head really does change things, even your culture level has improved."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, "Are you mocking me for not going to college?" Then, feeling smug, he said, "After a while, I plan to go give lectures at a university and get a taste of college life."

"Wow, that’s so cool, you can woo the campus belles," Xiao Yingying exclaimed exaggeratedly, then jumped into the bathtub, snuggling into Song Xiaodong’s arms.

"Then I’ll start with you," Song Xiaodong laughed heartily as his hands began to playfully roam.
