Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Is this baby a boy or a girl? (2)

Yan Minmin’s question hit the nail on the head.

Wang Qing was already five months pregnant and could determine the gender of the baby.

However, Wang Qing was a bit nervous, fearing it might be a boy, so she kept delaying the checkup.

The last time she had an opportunity during the ultrasound, she hesitated for a long time and didn’t ask, afraid of hearing it was a boy.

In the Qin Family, boys were not valued highly; having a girl was considered enviable.

For Wang Qing herself, it was the same; she had already given birth to three sons and really did not need to have another.

"We haven’t done the check yet," Wang Qing replied.

"Then should we find a time to do it so we can also prepare?" Yan Minmin suggested.

Qin Xingzhi answered, "We’ve been planning to, but I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t had time to accompany my wife."

"Starting tomorrow, Yunzhi and I will take on some of your duties, brother, so you can have more time to accompany your wife," Yan Minmin proposed.

"No need," Wang Qing immediately refused as she heard this, "Your brother is used to handling things, and he won’t adjust well if he has to come back and accompany me. I am not so precious that I need someone with me. It’s my fourth pregnancy; I’m used to it. Besides, we have so many servants at home; if I really want to go, I can just get one of them to accompany me."

But Qin Xingzhi said, "Actually, if my younger brother and sister help me, I would really like to work less and spend more time with Aqing."

Then Qin Xingzhi affectionately said to his wife, "Aqing, being pregnant is very exhausting, no matter which pregnancy it is. It doesn’t negate the fact that it’s tiring and difficult, especially this time since you are also sick. Don’t force yourself to endure this alone. I am your husband, and the baby is ours. It’s only right for me to share the burden."

Listening to Qin Xingzhi’s words, Wang Qing felt warmth in her heart but still did not want to relent, "I’m really fine; don’t worry about me. Besides, Yunzhi and his wife have just come back and might not adapt to the household duties right away. They should prioritize helping our parents, allowing them to rest more, rather than you."

"Oh! How could I forget that?" Qin Xingzhi realized the key point.

The opportunity that his sister fought for Yunzhi was actually to let them show their worth in front of their parents. How could he interfere with that?

Qin Yuze suggested, "Actually, there’s no need to go to the hospital just for this; hasn’t Elder Yang always been diagnosing our mother? We could just ask Elder Yang."

"Oh! How could I forget Elder Yang!" Qin Xingzhi excitedly stood up, forgetting about his meal, and was about to go out to the backyard to invite Elder Yang.

Elder Yang usually didn’t dine with them, not because they didn’t allow it—they would actually prefer he did—but because Elder Yang himself wouldn’t.

He liked to cook separately for himself, and everyone else just had to let it be.

Wang Qing grabbed Qin Xingzhi, whispering, "Husband... what if... what if it’s not a daughter?"

"Uh..." Qin Xingzhi paused.

Though they had to find out sooner or later, people are contradictory like that, wanting to know, yet fearing the answer might not be the desired one.

When the couple was tangled up, Elder Mrs. Qin spoke out, "Sooner or later it will be known. Whether it’s a daughter or a son, neither can escape. Let’s invite him after the meal and get a clear answer."

Once the elder lady spoke, the couple could no longer fuss about it. After finishing their meal, Qin Xingzhi went to invite Elder Yang over.

The family sat in the living room, waiting for Elder Yang.

As soon as he arrived, Wang Qing asked, "Elder Yang, may I ask if the child I am carrying is a boy or a girl?"
