Chapter 756: Chapter 725 Discussing Terms, Delay in Pregnancy_1

After He Tiantian got home, she changed into a fashionable woolen coat in sky blue, which was very form-fitting, and underneath, she wore a pink turtleneck sweater.

Because the wind was strong today and He Tiantian’s hair was long and not tied up, it would become messy when blown by the wind. Therefore, she put up a bun at the back of her head and stuck a pink jade hairpin in the bun. On her ears were teardrop-shaped blue gemstone earrings.

At the Overseas Chinese Store, He Tiantian had bought items that had already been sent to her home. She prepared a piece of fine silk fabric for Mrs. Qian, colored in royal purple, elegant and noble, most suitable for making a cheongsam. She got a silk scarf for Qian Shikun’s daughter-in-law in a graceful light yellow, and for Qian Shikun’s grandson and granddaughter, she prepared toys.

Huo Yingjie wore a gray Zhongshan suit, standing tall and straight as a young poplar tree, exuding vitality.

After He Tiantian was ready, she saw Huo Yingjie waiting outside.

Seeing He Tiantian come out, Huo Yingjie extended his arm, taking He Tiantian out with him.

"Mommy, pretty." Huo Ruimin giggled, "Daddy, also pretty!"

Huo Ruihua just glanced at Dad and Mom and wasn’t interested, continuing to struggle with the metal puzzle in his hand.

"Ruimin is pretty, Ruihua is pretty too," He Tiantian smiled and said, "Alright, Dad and Mom are going out, you two be good at home."

"Mommy, I want to go too." Huo Ruimin dropped what she was holding and lunged toward He Tiantian.

Huo Yingjie scooped up Huo Ruimin, who charged over like a little cannonball, and laughed, "Dad and Mom have things to do, Ruimin, be good. When we come back, we’ll bring back something delicious for you."

Hearing this, Huo Ruimin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then, I want egg rolls and bear cookies, I want..."

In the blink of an eye, Huo Ruimin had named a long list of things to eat.

"No, you must eat your meals properly," He Tiantian firmly refused, children can’t be spoiled.

"Waaah..." Huo Ruimin burst into tears, lying in Dad’s arms.

"It doesn’t hurt to let a child have some treats," Huo Yingjie said cheerfully, "Mommy says you’re asking for too much. You listed so many things, but Daddy will only buy you two of them. Tell us, what do you want?"

"Can’t I... can’t I have them all?" Huo Ruimin still wanted to struggle, trying to negotiate for more.

"No!" Huo Yingjie kissed his daughter’s little face, "Tell us, which two? If you don’t choose, then Mommy won’t buy you anything at all."

Huo Ruimin sneaked a look at her mother’s stern face and reluctantly said, "Okay, I’ll have the red bean cake and bear cookies then."

"Good girl!" Huo Yingjie nodded, setting down his daughter, "Ruihua, what do you want?"

"The same as sister," Huo Ruihua said without looking up, still focused on playing with his metal puzzle.

"Silly brother, you should choose something different than me, then we’d have four things, right?" Huo Ruimin scolded her brother like a little adult. Her brother was too foolish not knowing how to make the most of a great opportunity.

"Anyway, I don’t like sweets that much," Huo Ruihua muttered quietly, knowing that in the end, most of it would end up in his sister’s stomach anyway.

Leaving Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian listened to their son and daughter’s childish talk with a bit of speechlessness.

"Brother Yingjie, I always feel our kids are too clever," said He Tiantian, perplexed. "They don’t act like children of four years at all. At least I have never seen a four-year-old who can speak so clearly."

Huo Yingjie, proud, slightly lifted his chin and said, "It proves that our genes are good! The child inherited our intelligence."

He Tiantian couldn’t quite agree with Huo Yingjie’s answer, saying, "I’m not smart, just more diligent than others. As for you, you’re a genius. It must be that he inherited your intelligence and wisdom."

"Hehe, with my intelligence and your diligence, our child will definitely succeed in the future," Huo Yingjie laughed, never doubting this for a moment.

He Tiantian chuckled, suddenly thinking of something extremely embarrassing, yet that made her incredibly curious.

"Brother Yingjie, Ruihua and Ruimin are already four years old, and we haven’t been using contraception, but... but why haven’t I gotten pregnant again?" He Tiantian was curious, as they already had children, which proved there was nothing wrong with her and Huo Yingjie.

If there was no problem, then not getting pregnant for a long time indicated there was a problem.

Huo Yingjie was speechless, looking up at the sky; he had thought about this too!

"It could be due to the bloodlines in our bodies," Huo Yingjie said, "Our Divine Sense is that of ancient deities, and deities could take millions of years just to conceive a divine embryo, so even though we are reincarnated, it probably still has an effect."

"But I did give birth to Ruihua and Ruimin!" He Tiantian countered, "If it were as you say, we probably wouldn’t have any children by now."

Huo Yingjie forced a smile, remembering the Little Spirit Snake.

However, he would definitely not tell He Tiantian about it.

"Then it’s probably just our luck," Huo Yingjie smiled, "If we have one, we’ll want it; if not, let it go. After all, we already have a son and a daughter. My parents busied themselves for many years and only had me; they won’t complain about you not having more."

"Hehe, don’t talk about the elders that way," He Tiantian covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that if the in-laws were here, they might scold Huo Yingjie.

"It’s just the two of us here anyway!" Huo Yingjie laughed, "Come on, let’s hurry up."

When they reached the alley’s entrance, He Tiantian sat on the back seat of Huo Yingjie’s bicycle, while Huo Yingjie supported himself with one foot on the ground, sitting on the saddle, waiting for He Tiantian to get on before riding off.

It took about half an hour to get to Qian Shikun’s house.

Sun Sihao was drinking tea and chatting with Qian Shikun and Qian Zhigao.

The woman who opened the door was around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old; seeing He Tiantian, she smiled faintly and said, "Is this Grandpa’s leader, He Tiantian?"

"Hehe, I’m not really a leader, I’m the junior, He Tiantian," she introduced herself, "This is my husband, Huo Yingjie."

"Hello, hello," the woman smiled, "My name is Xie Wanying, my hands are wet so I won’t shake hands with you, please come inside."

"Sister Xie, nice to meet you," He Tiantian said, entering with her husband.

When the people inside heard He Tiantian’s voice, they all came out to meet them.

After a round of introductions and pleasantries, everyone went inside together.

He Tiantian presented the gifts, especially for the two children. The girl was six years old and received a doll; the boy was four and got a small car. Although it didn’t have batteries, it had a wind-up mechanism that allowed it to run around on the floor after being wound up.

"Thank you, Auntie He, Uncle Huo," Qian Zhigao taught the children, aiming to make them grateful and polite.

The children were sensible and well-mannered, clearly well-raised and endearing.
