The fingertips of Han Jingnian gripping the seatbelt trembled momentarily. However, he quickly regained composure, casually buckling the seatbelt while answering in a relaxed tone, "Okay, can you ask our baby what he or she would like to eat?"
"Hmm..." Xia Wan'an drew out her response melodiously while tilting her head deep in thought.
Sitting straight, Han Jingnian glanced at her smiling face in the rearview mirror, his heart aching as if it had been mercilessly stabbed.
"The baby answered me, "He or she wants to eat ...beef noodle soup from Beijing Hotel."
Listening to Xia Wan'an's blissful tone, Han Jingnian swiftly pulled himself out of his thoughts, shooting her a soft look and responding with an agreeable "Okay". Thereafter, he stepped on the gas and steered towards Beijing Hotel.
Throughout the drive, Xia Wan'an chattered away to Han Jingnian about the baby.
"Han Jingnian, do you prefer boys or girls?"
"I like both."
