Love So Sweet

613 An Aunt...?

In the end, it was Li Qin Yao who reacted first. She stood up and walked over to her daughter’s side to give her a big hug.

Zhang Yu Han and Zhang Yi Hai both snapped out of their thought and looked at Zhang Li Xue with unreadable looks on their faces. It seemed that they both will need some time to process this information.

“Congratulations,” Li Qin Yao spoke to her daughter and son-in-law. Then she turned to her husband with a twinkle in her eyes. “Hubby, I’m going to be a grandmother.”

It was then that Zhang Yu Han could react. He looked at the young couple in front of him and congratulated them.

Zhang Yi Hai was still surprised to hear this news. But after a while, he figured that he was going to be an uncle and thought that it would not be so bad.

His wife would become a grandmother and him, a grandfather.

Thinking about this made him realize that both of them were now old. The little princess who often pestered him to teach her to play basketball would now become a mother.

Zhang Yu Han thought that time was moving too fast.

Li Qin Yao turned to her daughter again to ask about her symptoms.

.....

Hearing about her morning sickness made her heart ache for her daughter. Li Qin Yao recalled that when she was pregnant with Zhang Li Xue, it was Zhang Yu Han who experienced the morning sickness in her stead.

As the thought came to her mind, Li Qin Yao suddenly recalled an important thing. She turned to her husband again and spoke, “Hubby, we have to start looking for someone to look after Li Xue’s diet.”

Then, Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yu Han began to discuss what they should do to prepare for the baby’s arrival. Li Qin Yao knew that she was going to be busy again and this was making her excited.

Meanwhile, Bai Xi Xi was staring at her brother and sister-in-law with a dazed look on her face. The commotion made her wonder what was going on.

She seemed to understand what happened, but at the same time, she did not understand what was going on. The little girl’s mind was in a mess. Bai Xi Xi did not know what she should be thinking.

It took her a while, but she finally understood the anxious look on her brother’s face when she approached her sister-in-law earlier.

Zhang Yi Hai chuckled when he noticed the look on the little girl’s face. “Xi Xi.”

His voice made Bai Xi Xi look up.

Zhang Yi Hai flashed a smile at the little girl. “You are going to be an aunt later. What do you think?”

An aunt...?

Bai Xi Xi thought that she was still too young to be an aunt. This matter made her feel a little complicated. However, when she recalled that her brother and sister-in-law will have a baby, Bai Xi Xi was suddenly looking forward to it.

Their baby would be so adorable, right?

“Xi Xi?” Bai Qi called her name when he saw that his sister had been quiet for a long time. He stretched out his hand at her, beckoning Bai Xi Xi to come to his side.

As Bai Xi Xi slid down her chair and walked over to his side, Bai Qi turned to his wife and exchanged a glance. They both realized that they had never talked about this matter with Bai Xi Xi before.

Suddenly, Bai Qi was worried that his sister was unhappy. Would she think that they would abandon her after the baby was born?

Bai Xi Xi grew up without knowing the love of a parent. Because of this, Bai Qi was afraid that his little sister would be sensitive.

He made a silent vow not to neglect his sister even after his child was born.

Bai Qi pulled his sister to his side and gave her a tight hug. “Xi Xi, in a few months, there’s going to be a baby in our family. What do you think about this?”

A light crease appeared between his brow. Bai Qi was worried that his sister would not be able to accept this news.

The little girl lowered her gaze to look at her sister-in-law’s tummy. She already learned in school that a baby will grow up in a mother’s stomach before the baby came out.

“Sister-in-law’s tummy is still small. When will the baby come out?”

Hearing her questions made Bai Qi feel more at ease. From her expression, he could tell that his sister did not dislike it.

Bai Qi explained to his sister a little bit about the baby and the little girl listened to him with a serious look on her face.

“This is good,” Bai Xi Xi said. “When the baby comes out, I will have a playmate.” She looked up and spoke, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry. I am already a big girl. Later, I can help you to look after your baby.”

The others began to laugh when they heard this matter.

Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yu Han both decided to keep this matter a secret until their daughter passed her first trimester.

Now that Zhang Li Xue was pregnant, Zhang Yu Han decided to rearrange his daughter’s schedule again. Due to his experiences, he understood how tiring it felt with morning sickness. Perhaps, he should employ another assistant to help his daughter around.

The dinner ended after a while.

Worried that her daughter would be tired, Li Qin Yao let her return to her room and rest. Of course, she did not forget to tell the auntie to help her prepare some nourishing soup for Zhang Li Xue.

Bai Qi helped his wife to settle down first before he went to look for his little sister.

When he arrived his little sister was in the middle of arranging her schoolbag for tomorrow. Bai Qi sat down and talked to her about the change that would happen in their family next.

Bai Xi Xi wrapped her arms around her brother’s body and spoke, “Brother Bai Qi, I am truly happy. Later, you and Sister-in-Law should give birth to many, many children. In the beginning, there were only the two of us. I think it is great to have a big family.”

Bai Qi laughed when he heard about the many, many children. He thought that it was alright for him to have only one child with his wife.

After all, the person who will have to go through pregnancy and experience childbirth would be his wife. Bai Qi had no plan to let his wife go through the pain many, many times.
