Chapter 1608 - 1609: Arranged Childhood Engagement?

Ye Zhi nodded in agreement: "Also better than I imagined."

An Jing, upon hearing this, withdrew her gaze from watching Gong Juechen playing with her four children and landed it on Ye Zhi, teasingly asked, "Do you still envy me now?"

Ye Zhi was honest, "I don’t envy you for now, just not sure about the future."

An Jing knew that Ye Zhi always thought Gong Juechen was just attracted to her face, and they had talked about this many times before. It was not something to dwell on, nor could it change Ye Zhi’s mind, so An Jing said, "Time will prove everything."

After a pause, An Jing blinked and said with a sly smile, "Hopefully, by then, you’ll be proven wrong."

Ye Zhi immediately laughed too, "I also hope by then I’ll be proven wrong."

She truly did not believe that Gong Juechen would treat her like this forever. She was always certain that as soon as she grew old and was no longer young, and lost the face he liked now, he would transfer his affections elsewhere.

Looking at An Jing’s already large belly, Ye Zhi added, "You really have triplets, your belly is already so big."

An Jing said, "When I was carrying the quadruplets, my belly was even bigger."

Ye Zhi imagined it and then shivered, "Better to just have one, having so many seems dangerous."

An Jing chuckled, "Once you’re pregnant, it’s so rare to have that many at once, even if it’s dangerous, you have to give birth."

"True." Ye Zhi glanced at her own belly, suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and immediately raised her head to tell An Jing, "Boss, you’re pregnant, and I’m pregnant too, why don’t we arrange a match between the children in our bellies?"

An Jing laughed, "I do want to arrange a match for the kids, but I’m afraid by then, if both have their own preferences, it wouldn’t be good."

Ye Zhi thought about it and agreed. It’s better to let marriage be self-determined.

"Ye Zi, do you want the child in your belly to be a girl or a boy?"

"Doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl."

Just as Ye Zhi finished speaking, An Yiqing came over, grinning mischievously, "Auntie, I hope you have a baby girl, that way when I grow up, I can marry her, and our families will be closer!"

"You little rascal!" Ye Zhi immediately burst into laughter.

An Yiqing immediately raised his chin, "I’m not that little anymore, I’m almost seven!"

Ye Zhi laughed even more, "Yes, Qinger, next month you’ll turn seven, what gift would you like?"

Before An Yiqing could finish speaking, Su Yixing ran over excitedly, "Auntie, I want that painting in your room as my birthday gift, okay?"

Upon hearing Su Yixing’s words, An Jing broke into a sweat, and asked Ye Zhi, "How much is that painting? His eyes are sharp, the things he asks for are usually priceless."

Ye Zhi looked puzzled, "I don’t know, all the decorations and ornaments in the room are Gong Juechen’s things. I just think that painting looks nice, I didn’t realize how much it’s worth."

Gong Juechen walked over, a bit displeased, "Zhizhi, why would you say it’s my stuff, we’ve been married for so long, isn’t my stuff your stuff already?"

Ye Zhi felt particularly pleased hearing this in her heart, but outwardly she squinted at Gong Juechen, "I was just saying, who asked you to take it to heart!" After a pause, she asked, "How much is the painting in our room?"

As soon as Ye Zhi said ’our’, Gong Juechen immediately became happy and said with a smile, "I don’t know how much that painting is worth, but I know it’s almost eight hundred years old."
