Chapter 1660 - 1: Jiang Xiaosi’s Rocky Path to a Second Child (Part 1)

Chapter 1660: Chapter 1: Jiang Xiaosi’s Rocky Path to a Second Child (Part 1)

Employees at Si Group all know that Fourth Master has been in a bad mood lately.

Generally, there are only three reasons for his bad mood:

His wife, cars, and father-in-law.

"Fourth Master has been performing well at the company lately, Mr. Si even praised him in meetings, so it can’t be because of that."

"I haven’t heard that he’s longing for some car he can’t have."

"Maybe the couple had a fight."

...

Jiang Chengsi’s depression has nothing to do with the above three matters; it’s because Tang Wan is... pregnant again!

Why is it that everyone else finds it so easy to have a second child?

He even privately asked that jerk, and Jiang Jinsang, sounding rather irritating, said:

"We once thought about having a second child. Wanwan was too busy with an exhibition and didn’t prepare anything special, just went with the flow, and it happened naturally. I found it quite surprising too."

What the hell!

Everyone listen, does this sound human?

The group knows Jiang Chengsi has been actively preparing for it. He said this clearly to piss him off, thinking he’s special because of some protagonist aura.

If it weren’t for Tang Wan being pregnant, thinking the child couldn’t be born without a father, Jiang Chengsi would really want to beat up this jerk.

This was already making him quite frustrated, and then it just got worse after that.

One day, Jiang Chengsi visited Tang Wan at Guantang Villa with Si Qingxiao and coincidentally ran into Zhou Zhongqing, so the three of them left together.

"Uncle Zhou, do you need a ride?"

Jiang Chengsi knew he drove but was being polite.

"No need." Zhou Zhongqing smiled at him, "How have you been lately?"

"Pretty good."

"Before I left Beijing, didn’t you ask me about childbirth? I know some doctors in that area. If you need, feel free to contact me."

Jiang Chengsi was startled, while Si Qingxiao froze for a moment, quickly regained his senses, and felt her ears burning.

The fact that he even went out of his way to consult about childbirth, wasn’t he embarrassed?

They already have one child, so there shouldn’t be any physical problems for either of them, just a matter of timing. Yet he shamelessly went to consult doctors. Si Qingxiao, being thin-skinned, just hung her head awkwardly and dared not look at Zhou Zhongqing.

"I, I..." Jiang Chengsi hadn’t expected Zhou Zhongqing to suddenly bring this up, and seeing Si Qingxiao’s reaction out of the corner of his eye, realized he was done for.

"I have a drinking session with colleagues tonight, so I’ll head off." Zhou Zhongqing left the mess behind, patting his butt as he swaggered off.

Jiang Chengsi looked at Si Qingxiao, mouth opened, "Xiaoxiao, actually..."

"Drive, let’s head home first."

Once in the car, Jiang Chengsi held the steering wheel, glanced sideways at the person looking out the window at the scenery, "Xiaoxiao, are you mad?"

Si Qingxiao said nothing.

"I was just chatting with Uncle Zhou casually. I just got too anxious."

...

Jiang Chengsi is indeed impulsive, working hard and diligently for so long with nothing to show for it, naturally resulting in some impatience.

Si Qingxiao understands him. It’s not that she’s angry, but she finds him amusingly annoying; since they already have a daughter, there shouldn’t be any physical reasons, it’s more of a matter of chance. How could she know he’d be impatient enough to consult Zhou Zhongqing?

And ever since Tang Wan got pregnant, someone has been sticking to her too closely, so Si Qingxiao decided to pretend to be angry and ignore him.

After getting home, she looked after their daughter, then went straight to the room and locked the door.

Just when she thought she could finally have a peaceful sleep tonight, unexpectedly, the lock clicked, and in the next moment, Jiang Chengsi had already pushed the door open.

Holding a key in his hand.

"Who gave you that key..."

"Dad did."

"You’ll sleep in the study tonight." Si Qingxiao got up to chase him out.

Normally, when she sends him to the study, it’s just a bit of casual bickering, a little fun between couples, but today, since leaving Guantang Villa, she’s been ignoring him, so Jiang Chengsi thought she was really mad, and if they didn’t resolve it, he feared he wouldn’t sleep well tonight.

Just as Si Qingxiao waved both hands, ready to shove him out, Jiang Chengsi suddenly grabbed her hand.

Si Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he lifted her horizontally and threw her onto the bed.

The bed was soft, and she only felt her body fall, causing the mattress to shake a couple of times. Before she could regain her senses, Jiang Chengsi had already leaned over...

His arms were propped on either side of her shoulders.

Just to drive him away, her breathing had been chaotic and hurried.

But suddenly facing his eyes, Si Qingxiao’s breath was cut short.

He’s usually lazy, only serious when working, but now, with the indoor lighting warm and glowing, making everything look gentle and dreamy, his eyes, however, appeared even deeper.

Under the cover of his breath, Si Qingxiao felt the air was somewhat thin.

The feeling of oxygen deprivation hatched a blush across her face.

"Are you really mad?" he asked softly.

He came to coax her, his voice naturally soft and gentle.

A person who is usually carefree, looking this way suddenly, so gentle to the extreme...

It’s a different kind of attraction.

Si Qingxiao only felt difficulty breathing. Jiang Chengsi thought she was deliberately ignoring him, leaned in a little more, "Xiaoxiao?"

"Say something."

"Were you really mad about today’s incident? Huh?"

Si Qingxiao raised her hand to push against his chest, "Jiang Chengsi, move aside—"

"You really are still mad."

"I, uh—"

At that moment, she wanted to say she wasn’t angry, but someone didn’t give her the chance.

...

Afterward

Si Qingxiao lay on the bed, feeling somewhat upset. She was the one who was angry, so why did things turn out like this?

Yet someone shamelessly kept asking if she was still mad. If she dared to say she wasn’t mad, she probably wouldn’t sleep tonight.

After all, the way he apologizes is quite unconventional.

The next day, someone headed off to work looking refreshed while Si Qingxiao slept until noon; that was only because their daughter was coming home from preschool.

"Mom, why are you still sleeping? Are you feeling unwell?" In a child’s understanding, only sickness would cause such things.

"No, I’m getting up now."

"I’ll help you squeeze the toothpaste and get water for brushing."

Si Qingxiao smiled knowingly, thank goodness for having a lovely, considerate daughter. If the child inherited someone’s temperament, their household would be in chaos. As she entered the bathroom, Little Tuanzi suddenly stared at her.

"Mom..."

"What’s up?"

"Your neck is really red. Did a bug bite you?"

Si Qingxiao suddenly remembered last night, her face flushed.

"Probably a mosquito." Si Qingxiao could only explain it away to her daughter. Fortunately, little kids are easy to fool, the little girl didn’t think much of it and continued squeezing toothpaste for her.

But when Si Qingxiao looked in the mirror, this... it’s probably not even covered by a scarf.

Doesn’t he know to be more gentle?

Jiang Chengsi ended his morning work, came home, and found...

His wife was mad again!

What happened this time?

Jiang Chengsi privately asked her, "Xiaoxiao, was I too much last night?"

"..."

"I’ll be more careful in the future."

Si Qingxiao really wanted to tell him to get lost and keep his distance.

"Dad, what’s wrong with mom?" Little Tuanzi could sense Si Qingxiao’s mood wasn’t too good, "Is she sick?"

"No, she just didn’t sleep well last night."

"But she slept all morning, didn’t she rest well?"

Little Tuanzi stared at her mother, that little expression clearly saying:

Mom can really sleep!
