“What do you mean? Don’t you like children?” Gu Zhiyan asked hesitantly.

Hearing this, Lin Zhi’s dazed eyes suddenly returned to normal.

“I don’t really like them,” he said in a low voice after thinking for a moment. “Nor do I dislike them. Let nature take its course.”

Gu Zhiyan looked at Lin Zhi’s expression and gradually understood.

His father was probably talking to Lin Zhi about the child.

She liked children very much. If possible, she wanted to have her own children.

However, her body…

Lin Zhi’s words were probably against his will.

When he saw Tangtang in the ward that day, he clearly liked her very much.

She could tell from his eyes.

“I should have broken up with you according to the usual routine,” Gu Zhiyan sighed slightly.

Lin Zhi was shocked, and his face turned red. “What… routines?”

“You clearly like children, but my body is not suitable for having children. And your family has the throne to inherit. So I should leave you and let you find a healthy woman you love. Then, you couldn’t suppress your feelings for me. We started the roundabout way where I ran, and you chased, and I couldn’t escape even if I had wings…”

“Stop, what are you talking about? Where did you get all this nonsense from?” Lin Zhi rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

“Uh… From Yuanyuan’s novel.” Gu Zhiyan felt a little guilty.

“I don’t like children that much. Besides, if necessary, we can adopt them or go abroad to think of a way.”

Gu Zhiyan saw Lin Zhi’s anxious expression and quickly said, “I already said that it’s a routine. I definitely won’t do it.”

Lin Zhi was stunned.

“Both of us can be considered to have died once. Our lives are only a few decades. How can it be so easy to think of someone who loves you? I want to be selfish. Even if I don’t have children in the future, I don’t want to leave you.”

Lin Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.

He liked children.

However, children were far less important than lovers.

“It’s good that you think that way. So what if we have a child? In the future, they would still have their own life and leave their parents. We can go to the orphanage regularly and give them extra fatherly and maternal love.”

“Actually…” Gu Zhiyan hesitated.

“Huh?” Lin Zhi looked down at her.

“I asked the doctor about the child before. The doctor said that if I can find a suitable heart in the future and recover well after the surgery, it’s possible for me to have a baby. Therefore, I want to say that we should let nature take its course.”

She carefully looked up at Lin Zhi. “If there’s a chance, I want to give birth.”

“Did he agree?” Ji Yuanyuan asked curiously.

Gu Zhiyan shook her head. “I don’t think so. He didn’t give me an answer. It’s vague.”

“If there’s no definite answer, then he doesn’t agree.” Ji Yuanyuan laughed. “He cares so much about you. How could he agree to let you take this risk?”

“Yuanyuan, you’re studying this. Do you think I’ll have a chance to have children in the future?” Gu Zhiyan looked at Ji Yuanyuan expectantly.

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Gu Zhiyan and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “It’s hard to say. In recent years, medicine has developed very quickly. It might be possible in the future.”

Gu Zhiyan was happy again. “By the way, Lin Zhi has almost recovered. He will be discharged this afternoon. We won’t be able to see each other in the hospital anymore.”

Ji Yuanyuan smiled faintly. “Yes, let’s not meet at the hospital in the future.”

Gu Zhiyan understood Ji Yuanyuan’s mean and smiled.

That afternoon, Lin Zhi was discharged.

The two of them were also anxious. On the second day after they were discharged from the hospital, they ran to get their marriage certificate.

Gu Wenbin was naturally unhappy.

However, Gu Zhiyan coaxed him for a long time, and Lin Zhi took the initiative to sign the pre-marital agreement to show his sincerity.

Gu Zhiyan was the full beneficiary of that pre-marital agreement.

Gu Wenbin was satisfied with what he saw, so he naturally did not stop him.

The day before the Lantern Festival, Grandma was also discharged from the hospital.

In the video sent by Second Uncle, Grandma was sitting on the sofa in the living room and eating with a smile.

“Look, Mother ate a full bowl of rice for lunch today. It’s amazing.” In the voice-over, Second Uncle’s tone was exaggerated.

It was like coaxing a child.

Li Xu watched the video over and over again.

“Your grandmother is really hurt this time. She has a big appetite. How could one bowl be enough in the past?” She rambled on.

Grandma had been doing manual labor since she was young. She did not lose out to men in terms of labor, so her appetite was naturally large.

Ji Yuanyuan patted Li Xu’s shoulder, feeling sorry for her. “Mom, if you miss Grandma, you can always go home to see her.”

Li Xu wiped the corner of her eyes. “It’s so far away. How can we just go back like that?”

Beside them, Huang Weiwei and Ji Zixuan exchanged glances.

Huang Weiwei lifted her chin. Ji Zixuan spoke up. “Dad, Mom, Weiwei and I have been thinking about it for the past two days. We wanted to discuss it with Yuanyuan and Zi’ang, but we only brought it up today…”

“What is it? You’re stammering.” Li Xu put away her phone.

“Look at the two of you. There are people running the company, and Auntie Hu is keeping an eye on the accounts. Even if you’re not here, it won’t affect anything.”

“How can that be?” Li Xu understood what he meant. “Ruirui is still so young…” “What’s wrong with that? We can hire a nanny.”

“How can we be at ease with a nanny? Didn’t you see the news? Many nannies abuse their children. We can’t take this risk.” Li Xu refused righteously.

“My parents will go over to help during the day. They won’t be tired with a nanny. Zixuan and I will take care of it personally tonight. There won’t be any problems. When she’s older, she can be sent to kindergarten during the day.” Huang Weiwei explained.

“Is it okay to keep troubling your parents?” Li Xu still didn’t agree.

“What’s wrong with that? They’re retired and are worried about having nothing to do.” Huang Weiwei smiled.

Seeing that Li Xu and Zhang Kun were still in a dilemma, Ji Zixuan added, “We youngsters can do anything. We still have a long life ahead of us. But Grandma and Grandpa are different. We don’t want you to regret it for the rest of your life because of us.”

The elders were already seventy or eighty years old today. How many years did they have left?

They were so far away, and they could only return home a few times a year.

When they remembered it in the future, wouldn’t the two of them feel bad?

Ji Zixuan’s words silenced Li Xu and Zhang Kun.

“No problem,” Ji Yuanyuan quickly said. “I support you guys to go back.”

“Zi’ang should be fine too. He hasn’t had any plans to have children recently.” Ji Zixuan added.

Speaking of this, Li Xu frowned. “Why does he seem a little strange when we mention Huanhuan recently?”

During the New Year, Li Xu’s heart was all focused on the hospital, so she did not notice the unhappiness between Ji Zi’ang and Qi Huanhuan..
