âPfft.â
Yun Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled. âIâve told you, she canât hear you now. What are you muttering to yourself for?â
âWhat if she can?â He raised his eyebrows in disagreement, and emphasized again, âThereâs telepathy between father and daughter!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright, telepathy.â
She agreed mockingly.
As he gently caressed her belly, he fantasized, âHow would our daughter look, if she were to resemble you?â
Forgiving his limited imagination, the faces he imagined were either shrunken versions of Yun Shishiâs or female versions of Youyouâs and Little Yichenâs faces. There was a strange sense of violation about it.
When Yun Shishi heard about this, she said, âI heard that daughters will look more like fathers.â
âOh? Is that so?â
âOf course! Havenât you heard so?â
Yun Shishi said with a straight face, âItâs been said that sons take after their mothers, while daughters take after their fathers! See how much Youyou resembles me? Itâs also said that sons are closer to their mothers, but daughters are closer to their fathers!â
Mu Yazhe scrutinized her face and nodded. âYouyou and Yichen do resemble you indeed! They have delicate features, especially their eyebrows.â
After a pause, he said confidently, âThen my daughter will definitely be a beautiful lady when she grows up.â
She broke into laughter. âNarcissist! Why are you so narcissistic?â
âItâs a fact,â he said solemnly.
âThat our daughter will resemble you? I canât imagine.â
Yun Shishiâs mind drew a blank. She could not come up with an image.
Mu Yazheâs started to fantasize.
He was running out of imagination. In his mind, the face of a little baby girl was wearing his facial features. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed grotesque!
He was suddenly taken aback by one of the faces he imagined.
âSheâll probably be very pretty.â He felt a little guilty, wondering how his daughter would really look if she were to inherit his features.
Yun Shishi thought for a while before she said unhurriedly, âIf the child is a daughter, sheâd definitely be very pretty if she had your eyes and your nose.â
âMmm...â
âActually...â Yun Shishi pondered for a moment before suddenly breaking into a smile that was filled with a motherâs gentleness. âI too, hope that itâs going to be a girl!â
âMm? You want a daughter too?â
âOf course!â Yun Shishi said matter-of-factly. âEveryone says that daughters are sweet and caring!â
âYouyou and Little Yichen will feel most aggrieved if they were to hear this!â Mu Yazheâs heart went out to the two little boys for a moment.
âIf itâs really a daughter, Iâll definitely prepare a huge cloakroom for her! Iâll buy her many beautiful princess dresses from the time sheâs a kid... Pink, white, and black... Iâll dress her up like a little princess!â
The man disagreed. âWhat do you mean by dressing her up like one? My daughter will be born a princess!â
â...â The corners of Yun Shishiâs lips twitched. âYes, yes, sheâll be born a princess, Your Majesty!â
âItâs the tenth week now.â
Ignoring her amusement, Mu Yazhe drew her into his embrace. He gently kissed her forehead and said with great anticipation, âIn other words, in two weeks, it will be three months. In another six months, she will arrive into this world! I must prepare to welcome her.â
âHow are you going to prepare?â
Yun Shishi asked curiously.
He said with a serious expression, âItâs time to prepare the nursery!â
âNursery?â
