Chapter 1385: Extra Episode 15: Going to Give Birth_2
Mo Yan touched her belly again and turned to the man, "I don’t know whether the one in my belly is a boy or girl. When we return to the city, should we invite someone to take a look?"
In the absence of modern medical equipment that could reveal the sex of an unborn child, experienced doctors and midwives could still make educated guesses based on the pregnant woman’s condition. Though not entirely accurate, they often had a seventy to eighty percent certainty.
With his hands gently caressing his wife’s semi-circular belly, a glint of hope flashed in Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes, "Your husband hopes for a daughter, one just like you."
"A daughter?" Mo Yan had never before heard the man explicitly express his longing for a daughter. Surprised, and with a touch of mischief, she asked, "My parents said the Xiao Family has few heirs and they are all hoping for a son from this pregnancy. If your wish for a daughter comes true and I don’t want to give birth again, what then?"
Xiao Ruiyuan frowned and chose to be candid, "Just one daughter would indeed be lonely. Your husband actually hopes for both a son and a daughter. However, if my wife does not wish to bear more children, your husband will not force you."
Seeing that the man was not deceiving, Mo Yan’s heart was delighted, and she leaned over to reward him with a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
The heavy snow had fallen intermittently for half a month. Only after five days of clear skies did the accumulated snow thoroughly melt, with the slush on the roads drying up under the sunshine.
Mo Yan did not want to return to the capital and protracted her stay for several days. It wasn’t until the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month that she could no longer delay and had to pack up her things to return to the General Mansion.
