Chapter 178 Are you envious?
Cheng Baichuan paused for a moment, a hint of doubt and heartache flashing in his eyes, before asking in a deep voice, "Did Nuonuo never go to school in her past life?"
His voice trembled slightly, as if he were extremely concerned about the issue.
Li Wanqing's expression also dimmed slightly. She nodded gently, her voice trembling with a barely perceptible sob, "No, she didn't have an easy life in her past life, so in this life, she cherishes every opportunity to learn."
Cheng Baichuan wanted to ask, since he found Nuonuo in his previous life, why didn't he let Nuonuo have a good life?
Cheng Baichuan frowned. He wanted to ask, since he had already found Nuonuo in his previous life, why didn't he let her have a good life for even a day?
Why did her childhood still end up full of regrets?
However, the words stuck in his throat.
The truth he feared hearing was that he hadn't been a good father in his past life, which would be the greatest condemnation of his conscience.
Cheng Baichuan's silence prompted Li Wanqing to also remain silent.
After all, the past life is the past life, and Cheng Baichuan's love and dedication to Nuonuo in this life are obvious to all.
There's no need for her to dwell on the bad things he did in his past life, to tormenting him and herself.
"It's Nuonuo's choice to study medicine; she likes it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Let her do as she pleases," Li Wanqing gently comforted her.
Cheng Baichuan nodded, a determined look in his eyes. "Studying medicine is good, studying medicine is good, as long as she likes it."
His words were full of support and encouragement for Nono.
Regardless of what happened in his past life, in this life, he will fully support whatever Nuonuo likes.
Cheng Baichuan gently snuggled closer to Li Wanqing, a flattering smile on his face. "Wife, look, our daughter is starting to study medicine. Shouldn't we consider having a second child?"
His tone carried a hint of expectation and probing.
However, Li Wanqing reflexively moved away from him, her eyes filled with wariness and rejection. "Didn't we already agree on this?"
“Nono is still young. Even if we want to consider having a second child, we should wait until she is older.” Li Wanqing’s words were firm.
She knew all too well how difficult it was to raise a child, and she didn't want to neglect Nuonuo's growth because of the issue of having a second child.
Cheng Baichuan, however, was not giving up. He moved a little closer to her, a playful smile on his face, "That was before. Now I think Nuonuo can understand."
Li Wanqing sensed that his tone was increasingly deceptive.
Li Wanqing stared directly into Cheng Baichuan's eyes, her scrutinizing gaze full of inquiry. "Tell me, what triggered you?"
Cheng Baichuan chuckled and scratched his head awkwardly. "It's nothing, I just can't stand Lao Shao always saying he's had so many children, his fourth already."
Li Wanqing glanced at him sideways, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "So you're envious?"
Cheng Baichuan quickly waved his hand and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I just heard that it's not advisable to wait too long to have a child, as it can be dangerous if you're older."
Li Wanqing stared at him with her round eyes, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction and doubt, "Old?"
She frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. She would only be 23 next year.
Cheng Baichuan is actually starting to complain about her age?
"You think I'm too old?" Li Wanqing immediately got angry and kicked Cheng Baichuan.
Cheng Baichuan quickly grabbed Li Wanqing's foot, only then realizing that his words might have caused a misunderstanding.
He quickly corrected himself, saying, "No, honey, you misunderstood. I didn't mean you're old, I mean I'm old."
Li Wanqing wasn't having any of it. She spat and said angrily, "You're only 29. How are you old? You're clearly just looking down on me."
Seeing this, Cheng Baichuan quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Wife, I really didn't mean that. You see, I'm six years older than you. I'm afraid that if we wait a few more years, I'll get too old and it will affect the quality of 'that'."
Li Wanqing stared straight into his eyes, and only after confirming that he wasn't lying did she breathe a slight sigh of relief.
She still had a wry smile on her face. "Where did you hear this nonsense?"
Cheng Baichuan blushed slightly and scratched his head awkwardly. "That's what the older guys in the army all say, so if you want to have children, you should do it as early as possible."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing was speechless and choked with emotion.
She never expected that a group of grown men would come up with such absurd ideas.
She shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Are you even capable? Do you think they know more than I do?"
As soon as they finished speaking, both of them suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
Li Wanqing coughed and cleared her throat, saying, "Anyway, it's about time to consider having a second child after Nuonuo starts elementary school."
It will be just before the implementation of the family planning policy, the timing will be perfect.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Baichuan was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that this was the best option at present.
He nodded in agreement.
However, at that moment, he suddenly pulled Li Wanqing into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Ah!!" Li Wanqing was startled by the sudden hug. She punched Cheng Baichuan's chest hard. "What are you doing? You scared me to death."
Cheng Baichuan seemed not to hear him. He pressed down on Li Wanqing, his head gradually lowering and wandering around her neck.
His breathing became rapid and heavy, as if he wanted to absorb her whole body into his own.
The heat made Li Wanqing feel a little uncomfortable, so she twisted her body, trying to break free from his embrace.
"Cheng Baichuan, what are you doing? Let go!" Li Wanqing's voice was low and hoarse with suppressed emotion.
Such a sound undoubtedly gave Cheng Baichuan a signal to continue. He did not let go, but instead hugged even tighter.
Cheng Baichuan said in a deep voice, "Wife, even if we don't have a second child for now, some benefits still can't be reduced."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing's face flushed red. She glared at Cheng Baichuan and said coquettishly, "What kind of lewd words are those?"
Cheng Baichuan ignored the question and continued to nuzzle against her neck.
Cheng Baichuan gently stroked her cheek and neck, and said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Besides, you still need to test whether I'm capable or not."
Li Wanqing blushed deeply at his words. She wanted to retort, but found herself speechless.
She could only stare wide-eyed at Cheng Baichuan, her eyes filled with shyness and helplessness.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Baichuan's lips curled into a smug smile.
He gently kissed Li Wanqing's forehead, then tenderly pulled her into his arms.
The night is alluring, and the night is long; there are some things that should not be said but done.
