Chapter 264 Have a little girl just like you

The year was spent at the Song family's home. Song Ni was called back a few days before the Lunar New Year. She would be going to London to study after the Spring Festival, so it was perfectly reasonable for her parents to want her home. Tan Zheng learned the news while at work, and after getting off, he went straight to the Song family's house. It was a joke; wherever his wife was, he would be. Seeing Tan Zheng so attached, Song Ni's parents couldn't help but smile. When they had initially tried to set them up on a blind date, Song Ni had been extremely unwilling, but now? She had rushed to the door to greet him the moment she heard his car, forgetting to even put on her shoes. Tan Zheng hugged Song Ni tightly. Noticing she was only wearing socks, he frowned, put an arm around her waist, and lifted her. "Where are your shoes?" Song Ni stuck out her tongue. "Forgot." Tan Zheng could only take off his shoes and carry Song Ni barefoot to the sofa. Uncle Zhao brought a pair of men's slippers. "Xiao Zheng, Ni Ni is a bit impetuous. Thank you for taking care of her." Song's father was very pleased to see Tan Zheng's actions. His Ni Ni deserved to be pampered and protected. "Dad, this is what I should do." After the usual transition from small talk to business discussions, Song Ni found it uninteresting and started discussing jewelry from an auction with Tang Tang. As they chatted, Song Ni noticed Tang Tang's rosy complexion and slightly fuller face and suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, have you gained a little weight?" Tang Tang touched her face and then her waist. "I think so. Since coming back, your brother has been constantly trying to feed me, and Mom has been making me soup." With such a diet, it was no wonder she had gained weight. However, Song Ni felt that her sister-in-law's eyes held a gentleness that was different from before, and she found it peculiar. It wasn't until dinner that Song Ni understood the strangeness. This unusual tenderness was because she was pregnant, a gentle glow of motherhood. When Tang Tang experienced morning sickness, the entire family, except for Tan Zheng, was in a panic. Song Jing didn't even dare to touch Tang Tang. "What are you standing around for? Go to the hospital for a check-up." They couldn't even eat dinner now. Song Jing would be thirty-five next year, which was not young. The Song family had been longing for a grandchild for a long time, and Tang Tang's reaction was very much like pregnancy. Although Song Jing was flustered, he still had some composure. They decided to go after Tang Tang felt a little better. Song's parents, unable to sit still at home, also followed. Only Song Ni and Tan Zheng were left at home. "Do you think I'm going to be an aunt?" Tan Zheng looked down at Song Ni and, putting an arm around her waist, unconsciously massaged it a few times. "Do you like children?" Song Ni blinked. She really liked her sister-in-law's soft and cute appearance. The child born to her and her brother would surely be adorable. "A little dumpling would be very lovable." Thinking of this, Song Ni chuckled and leaned against Tan Zheng's chest. "My brother isn't young anymore. Although he doesn't say it, he must have been longing for this child for a long time. Now, his wish has finally come true." Tan Zheng looked at the tenderness Song Ni displayed when discussing children, and a thought stirred in his heart. "I'm not young either." Song Ni: ... "I'm only twenty-four." Tan Zheng smiled and pinched Song Ni's nose. "Well, you're still a young girl. How can I let you have another little girl?" Song Ni wrinkled her nose and swatted away Tan Zheng's hand. "How do you know I'll only have a little girl?" "Intuition." "I don't believe you. Do you prefer daughters to sons?" "No." "You definitely do. The first thing you think of when it comes to having children is having a little girl." Tan Zheng couldn't argue and smiled helplessly. "Isn't it good to have a little girl as beautiful as you?" "Then isn't it good to have a little boy as handsome as you?" "Good." Song Ni: ?????? Why didn't he answer as expected? This topic was still too far in the future for them, and both tacitly agreed to drop it. Two hours later, Song Jing and his group returned. Tang Tang was indeed pregnant. Watching her family's joyous faces, Song Ni, unnoticed, nudged Song Jing with her elbow and mouthed, "Impressive." Sister-in-law had only been back for a little over a month. Song Jing first looked at Song Ni, then glanced meaningfully at Tan Zheng, and whispered back, "Prepare a gift for my child soon." Song Ni: ... Could she possibly mistreat her own nephew or niece? ... This was Tan Zheng's first time staying overnight at the Song family's house. Song Ni's room was very different from the one at Linjiang Apartment. The dominant colors were no longer white and gray; pink elements were visible almost everywhere. It was too girlish, and Song Ni felt a little embarrassed. "My mom has always treated me like a child." Song Ni didn't particularly like pink, but she didn't dislike it either, so she let her mom decorate it to fulfill her wish of creating a princess room for her daughter. Tan Zheng stepped into the room, feeling a bit out of place, but the man didn't realize it and examined it carefully. The room was meticulously decorated by Song's mother, with Song Ni's photos everywhere, from childhood to the present, covering every stage of her life. Unlike the ones Song Qin Yun secretly kept from Song Jing's perspective, the photos here were viewed from Song's mother's perspective, making Song Ni appear even more joyful and cute. Tan Zheng picked up a childhood photo of Song Ni and said, "Guai Guai." "Hmm?" "I think it's better if we have a little girl who looks like you." Song Ni: ... It was still early, and Tan Zheng hadn't brought any work back. After they washed up, Song Ni began recounting the stories behind each photo. "This was when I was in kindergarten. The little boy in the next seat kissed me because he thought I was too cute, and I slapped him." "This was when I first started preschool. I didn't like practicing calligraphy, so I tore up all my notebooks. But the teacher didn't give me a cold shoulder because I was too cute. Thinking about it now, it was probably because of my dad. What I did was quite excessive." "When I first started elementary school, I still didn't like reading, but I was smart and always got first place. There was even an awards ceremony in class. Look how smug I looked then." "Middle school was more annoying. Many boy classmates started playing pranks. If they liked me, they liked me, but they had to play games. I beat them all up, but my brother went to school for me. This photo was taken when I got home." "High school... this photo is very misleading. Only my mom thought I was a good girl. In reality, I was very mischievous, skipping class, fighting, and being a school bully..." As Song Ni was reminiscing, Tan Zheng suddenly pointed to a photo. "What happened then?" Song Ni was sitting in a wheelchair. "Oh, I fell into a ditch while riding my bicycle." Tan Zheng rested his chin on her shoulder and chuckled. "How could you fall while riding a bicycle?" Song Ni's eyebrows twitched. "I was looking at someone at the time. A couple on the street, well, not exactly a couple, it was an older uncle and a young woman." As she spoke, Song Ni's brows furrowed. "Why do I feel like I've seen that woman somewhere before?"
