Chapter 1838: Chapter 1838: Should We Have a Child Too?
"Rourou, if you keep looking at others like that, I might get jealous," Zhong Tianhao said as he walked up to Qin Rou, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Why would you even get jealous over something like this?"
"Well, if you don’t want me to get jealous, then from now on, you can only look at me!" Zhong Tianhao whispered playfully into Qin Rou’s ear.
"Huh? Why do I feel like you’re acting strange today? You’re not usually like this," Qin Rou looked at Zhong Tianhao incredulously.
"Am I?"
"Aren’t you?"
"Well, maybe I am! Rourou, I feel like maybe we should enter the next stage in our relationship."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... shouldn’t we consider having a baby too?" After whispering in Qin Rou’s ear, Zhong Tianhao took her hand and led her away from the pool.
"Tianhao, wait a minute, are you sure you’ve thought this through?" Just as Zhong Tianhao was about to kiss Qin Rou, she covered his mouth with her hand.
"I’ve already thought it through. Jian Dan and the others already have four kids, and we don’t even have one yet. We’re really lagging behind, so I need to catch up!" he said as he effortlessly lifted Qin Rou onto his shoulder and carried her toward the room.
Not long after Qin Rou and Zhong Tianhao left, Sizhe found Jian Dan.
"What’s wrong? You seem a bit off."
"Yuan Xinjie hasn’t been doing well emotionally since she gave birth. The doctor said she might have postpartum depression. I’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to work."
"Postpartum depression? That explains why Yuanyuan’s emotions have been so unstable, and she’s been crying easily.
Usually, postpartum depression stems from a lack of security. If that’s the case, we need to find ways to help her regain her sense of security.
Wait and follow my lead."
"Alright!"
...
"Sitting here all the time seems pretty boring, doesn’t it? Why don’t we play a game of Truth or Dare?" Jian Dan suggested.
"Sure! Just sitting around is kind of dull," Xi Rui agreed.
Xia Mengjiao and Chu Liyuan joined in, and Sizhe brought Yuanyuan over as well.
"I think I’ll pass," Yuanyuan said.
"Yuanyuan, you used to really enjoy playing, right? How can you pass up such a rare opportunity? Join us!" Jian Dan urged.
"Yeah, join us!" Xi Rui unknowingly chimed in to support the idea.
Yuanyuan finally agreed to join them in the game.
The bottle pointed to Uncle Simiao first, and he chose truth.
"Chu Liyuan, when was the last time you kissed Jian?" Uncle Simiao asked with a smile.
(Of course, Uncle Simiao wouldn’t have come up with such a question on his own; Xi Rui had whispered it to him just now.)
"This morning before we left," Chu Liyuan replied truthfully and calmly.
To him, it was just a normal thing.
"Wow, getting hit with PDA out of nowhere again!" Xia Mengjiao laughed.
The next one up was Xi Rui, and she also chose truth.
"How much do you like Uncle Simiao? On a scale of one to ten, where do you stand?" Jian Dan asked with a grin.
"Of course, I love my husband. Ten? My husband scores a hundred!" Xi Rui declared happily, leaving a red lipstick mark on Uncle Simiao’s cheek as she spoke.
Next, it was Yuanyuan’s turn, and according to the rules, she had to choose dare this time.
"Yuanyuan, you need to kiss Sizhe passionately for ten minutes on that diving platform!" Jian Dan and Sizhe exchanged a look before pointing to the diving platform behind them.
"What?" Yuanyuan was obviously taken aback, not expecting Jian Dan to come up with such a dare.
"A French kiss, a French kiss!" Jian Dan clapped her hands, egging her on, and soon everyone joined in the excitement.
"I’ll drink instead," Yuanyuan said as she reached for the glass of alcohol in front of her.
Sizhe stopped her, pulling her towards the diving platform.
"What are you doing?" Yuanyuan asked, embarrassed, trying to shake off Sizhe’s hand.
But Sizhe wouldn’t give her the chance, and when they reached the bottom of the diving platform, he simply carried her up the stairs.
The two stood at the top of the platform, eyes locked.
"Sizhe, what are you doing? There are so many people watching," Yuanyuan’s face was filled with anxiety.
"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I want everyone to know that you are the love of my life!" Sizhe declared before kissing her...
At first, Yuanyuan resisted, but gradually she began to lose herself in the moment, forgetting about time.
It was unclear how long had passed before they finally pulled apart. "Yuan Xinjie, I love you. Every day since we got married, I’ve loved you a little more than the day before, and I’ll continue to love you this way forever," Sizhe confessed.
Yuanyuan looked at Sizhe, her eyes reddening with emotion, and then initiated another kiss.
Watching this scene, Jian Dan knew that Yuanyuan would slowly start to recover.
