Huo Yunjiao reached out and gently touched Qin Ruan's belly, his lips curled up in a smile.
His handsome face was softened with a fatherly grin, eyes twinkled with anticipation, "It must be a girl. It would be even better if both of them were girls."
"No!" Qin Ruan denied. "One of them is a boy."
Her tone was firm and adamant.
Huo Yunjiao looked at her, reading her determined expression.
He intuitively felt that something was off about her emotions, as if she knew a secret he didn't.
Humor glinted in his eyes, his voice was playfully teasing, "Are you that sure?"
Qin Ruan nodded fiercely, "There's definitely a boy."
Her eyes were lowered, her fingers tenderly tracing her swelling belly.
The child she failed to protect in her past life was a boy. How could he not be here now?
Qin Ruan couldn't fathom the idea that the child from the past life did not come back to her in this life.
Whenever this thought crossed her mind, her heart ached.
