Chapter 581 - 611: How Wonderful to Have a Daughter
Shen Yi said, "So, I showed him the photo of the two of us I keep in my wallet. I told him that I like women, but only my wife. After the single officers saw it, they all said they understood and were even a little envious."
With a wife that beautiful and highly educated, there was really no reason for him to be messing around.
After Shen Yi finished his story, he waited expectantly for praise. But just then, Sun Jianhua called to ask when Qin Jiao was leaving.
"Yeah, I’m about to head out now."
Qin Jiao had almost forgotten about it. She immediately grabbed her bag and coat, ready to head out the door.
Shen Yi quickly asked, "Jiao Jiao, where are you going?"
"A lot of people have been coming to my parents to learn the trade recently. They all want to open shops near the university, so I got to thinking... it’s the perfect opportunity to start a franchise. I’m running late, so I’ll tell you the details when I get back."
"You’ll be meeting with a lot of people, right? I’ll go with you. You can lead the discussion, and I’ll be there to back you up."
Qin Jiao glanced at the stubble on his chin. "Forget it. You just got back, you should rest. My uncle said he’d be there."
"It’s not the same. It’ll be more effective if I go," Shen Yi said, fluidly shedding his clothes and pulling out a fresh set.
With a razor in one hand and his suit jacket draped over his arm, he said, "Let’s go. You drive, though. I’ll get cleaned up on the way."
Qin Jiao was unable to talk him out of it, so she had no choice but to leave with him.
On the way, Qin Jiao told him about the time she and two friends had been out to eat and ran into Shen Feng and Lin Nian, and how Lin Nian had just had a baby.
Of course, she left out the unpleasant things Shen Feng had said.
She was worried that if Shen Yi heard, he would immediately run off and beat up Shen Feng.
Although Shen Yi’s temper was much better than it had been in his previous life, he was still easily angered. And for anyone who truly provoked him, things would definitely not end well.
The woman who had just tried to throw herself at him was a prime example.
After listening, Shen Yi badmouthed Shen Feng as usual. But when he heard that the Shen Family was unhappy about the birth of a daughter, he became quite indignant.
"What’s wrong with a daughter? They’re wonderful! Well-behaved, sensible, and pretty. If I had a daughter, I’d be overjoyed."
"Oh? So you wouldn’t be happy if I gave birth to a son?"
"No, no, no! They say sons take after their mothers. Our son would definitely be like you—smart and good-looking. I’d be too busy doting on him to be anything but happy!"
’He always had an answer for everything.’ Qin Jiao could never win a war of words with him. Soon, the two of them started talking about the franchise again.
Shen Yi said with concern, "Jiao Jiao, you’re going to be very busy. I’ll keep an eye on things at Jiu Yi, but you have to promise me you won’t get too tired."
He knew he couldn’t talk her out of it. They had both been given this hard-won second chance at life, and Shen Yi would support whatever Jiao Jiao wanted to do with all his heart.
He was just worried about her health. After all, she was pregnant. If it were possible, Shen Yi would have kept his wife by his side at all times.
"Yeah, okay. I’ll be careful."
When the couple arrived at their destination, Sun Jianhua was already there, talking with several restaurant owners. In the crowd, Qin Jiao spotted a somewhat familiar face.
’Lu Jiuan, Meng Lanlan’s husband.’
Qin Jiao watched the man chatting familiarly with Sun Jianhua. She whispered to Shen Yi, "Shen Yi, do you remember a man named Lu Jiuan? I feel like he looks familiar, but I’m sure I’ve never met him in this lifetime."
