Chapter 820: Wanted A Sister

Another neighbor stood up. It was Uncle Li next door. He raised his glass with a smile and said.

“Yanyan, Jiahang, I wish you a big fat baby in the coming year.”

(He Xiyan)…

He Xiyan was stunned for a moment. Her eyebrows suddenly lifted up with a trace of embarrassment on her face. She did not even know how to respond to this wishing, simply smiled and said “OK!”.

Chen Jiahang nodded his head vigorously.

Yes, they would try to have a son this year, a son more beautiful than this Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan aside was a little unhappy. He pouted his little mouth, some kind of loss and sadness flashing through his eyes.

He didn’t want his mother to give birth to any fat boy. If that happened, his mom would certainly not like him. Besides, he was a boy himself, just a skinny one. If his mom would really bear a child, it should be a sister.

Yuanyuan had an elder brother but no sister.

“Mom, I want a sister.”

It would be better if the sister was born between his mom and dad.

Yuanyuan said so unhappily, the kind of displeasure apparently shown on his face. He looked at his mom, talking about it as if he were very serious.

Neighbors on the other side were all surprised. They were curious about the child who came here. Chen Yan said that this boy was adopted in Ming City Orphanage, but his tone and appearance were not like that of an adopted child.

He Xiyan grinned, reaching out her hand and touching Yuanyuan’s small head. She wondered how this little fellow dare say so in front of so many strangers. After a pause, she said, “Okay, have a sister.”

It was also good to have a sister. She wanted a daughter, too.

Although it was an ordinary New Year’s meal, everyone enjoyed it. In this remote village, neighbors enjoyed more intimate relationship with each other than that of relatives.

Such relationship of neighbors helping each other had disappeared in the city, but passed down from generation to generation in this village.

In the remote Ye City, it was different from the noise and excitement in Ming City.

Since it was the end of the year, workers in enterprises, institutions and factories had all been on holidays. Outsiders working here had returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. The usually busy Ye City was now empty of people. Even on the streets that were normally caught in traffic jams every day, there were only a few vehicles visible. Besides, many stores were also closed.

This was the city. Once the Spring Festival came, that would be like this. Metropolis were even more than this.

Ye Hao drove on the main roads of the city. With little traffic though, he actually drove very slowly, even aimlessly.

His cell phone, which was put aside, was ringing all the time. It was the sound of messages coming in, one after another. It had been ringing more than a dozen times.

However, he didn’t cast a single look, because he didn’t want to take the trouble to look at it. He knew what they were anyway.

All these messages were from Han Xue.

In the castle, Han Xue stood on the viewing balcony on the third floor. She was wearing a long black silk dress, a white real fox fur shawl across her shoulders. On her head, it was a medieval retro palace hat, the black veil of which falling from the brim of the hat covered half of her face, adding a kind of vague beauty to her already delicate look. She was tall and slim, good at dressing up, so even at the age of 34, she still looked like a woman in her 20s.

Han Xue had been standing on this balcony for more than 20 minutes. Her beautiful phoenix eyes slightly rose up a little, fixed on the distant road all the time.

It was already 10 o’clock in the morning. They had to go to Li Garden to visit the old lady and had the New Year dinner with all the members of the Ye family.
