Chapter 773: The Reason He Didn’t Want Another Child
Zuo Weiyi was distracted by Zhong Shenghao.
“Yes, at the beginning, we could only see one of the babies. I thought both of them would be girls.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t like girls. It was just that when she thought about how s.h.i.+ Yuting wanted a son but not a another child, she had really hoped that the two children would be a boy and a girl so that s.h.i.+ Yuting wouldn’t be disappointed.
However, if they were both girls, would he be disappointed?
“I’ve known Ting for nine years and I would have never expected that one day a woman would be so precious to his existence that he’d spoil her to the bone,” said Zhong Shenghao.
Zuo Weiyi was a little confused by his sudden words.
“Why do you say that?”
“I’ve spoken to Ting before. For a man with a net worth of tens of billions, he must have a son to be perfect.”
Zhong Shenghao’s words surprised Zuo Weiyi.
He actually talked to Zhong Shenghao about this?
“He wanted a son because he’s afraid his daughter will be bullied by others.”
“No, I’m not talking about that.”
Zuo Weiyi looked at him in confusion again.
“He’s worth tens of billions, or more. We once talked about this, that his son would naturally inherit his fortune. And even if he had only daughters, he could still try for another child. But he refused.”
Zuo Weiyi remembered having a similar conversation with Yuting in the past.
She had mentioned the possibility of having another child but s.h.i.+ Yuting refused without hesitation.
Until now, she still did not understand why. Did Zhong Shenghao know?
Her clear eyes looked at Zhong Shenghao. “I also mentioned this to him, but he was insistent on refusing too. Do you know the reason?”
Zhong Shenghao was stunned. So Weiyi had mentioned it to him before, and he still rejected her?
He was silent for two seconds before he spoke again. “He doesn’t want you to suffer the pain of being pregnant again. Even if you didn’t give birth to a son, he’d rather live with that than have you go through all this again.”
His words made Zuo Weiyi’s heart waver slightly.
He didn’t want a second child because he didn’t want her to suffer?
“That was his reason?” She exclaimed in shock, her heart trembling.
Zhong Shenghao nodded, “Yes. When you were pregnant, your morning sickness was very severe, and during that period, you barely ate. I think it was during that period of time that Ting decided that he wouldn’t let you get pregnant again. That’s why I say that this pair of boy and girl have really been a blessing – not only did they resolve the potential need for another child, but they have allowed you to contribute greatly to the s.h.i.+ family.”
Ting and Weiyi wouldn’t mind even if the twins were both girls. However, it would be a bit of a pity for the s.h.i.+ family if there wasn’t a boy to inherit the huge family business.
Zuo Weiyi’s heart was full of mixed feelings.
Although she no longer had the idea of prioritizing boys over girls, she had once worried about this problem.
Even if his family, including him, didn’t care about the s.e.x of the children, would they still feel a trace of regret for not having a male heir in their hearts?
That was why she was surprised when Yuting rejected her proposal to have another child, all because he did not want her to experience the hards.h.i.+ps of pregnancy again.
