Chapter 1759: Preparing for Pregnancy

“If everyone found out that the so-called Capital City’s Dynamic Duo is actually just one extremely talented lady—I wonder what they would think.” Si Yiyan commented as he flipped through the newspapers. The internet was full of rumors with regard to the Capital City’s Dynamic Duo. Even the press was reporting on it.

Wen Xinya glared at him. “Even you are mocking me.”

She had no idea how rumors of a Capital City’s Dynamic Duo had started. By the time she realized it, it had already been spread all over the internet.

“I’m not mocking you. The media is reporting on your exceptional talent and comparing you to how great your Granny was. How are you not the Capital City’s Dynamic Duo?”

Xinya’s Granny, Ren Yuqian, had been a famous and talented woman during her time, reaching great heights within Capital city’s arts and literary scene. That was why she had been touted as one of the Capital City’s Dynamic Duo then. Xinya was equally talented, especially in the field of jewelry design. There was no reason for her to be unworthy of this title either.

“It’s all just exaggerated praise. My Granny was such a magnificent lady while Bo Yaxuan possessed unfathomable depths. There is no way I can compare to either of them.”

For the past few years, she had heard bits and pieces of how amazing her Granny was from her Grampy.

She didn’t know much about Bo Yaxuan, but her encounter with that woman during that golden feast had shown Wen Xinya what a cunning and shrewd person she was.

She knew very well that there was no way she was as good as Bo Yaxuan in playing mind games.

Previously, she had Liu Yanhua investigate Bo Yaxuan, but there wasn’t much information to be found. Even Grampy didn’t know much about her.

Wen Xinya was highly fearful of this Bo Yaxuan.

Nevertheless, she didn’t have many interactions with Bo Yaxuan the past few years, and so didn’t pay much attention to her.

Si Yiyan smiled. “You don’t need to be so modest. It’s perfectly normal for a new generation to surpass the old. How are you not as good as that Bo Yaxuan?”

In his eyes, no other woman was comparable to Wen Xinya.

“I can’t out-talk you, so I won’t argue with you anymore. But that Bo Yaxuan is just so mysterious.” She didn’t really care that much, she was just curious about what made this person so special.

“Golden feast…” Si Yiyan laughed ambiguously.

Wen Yuya didn’t notice his expression as an idea suddenly popped into her head. “Si Yiyan, Jinyu is so adorable. Of all in the Wen Family, he is closest to me. The moment he knew how to speak, his first words were to call me sister. You can’t imagine just how jealous Grandpa was.”

Jinyu’s cuteness had triggered some vulnerable soft spot in her heart. Recently, she had been yearning more and more for a child of her own with Si Yiyan.

However, during the past few times she had mentioned this matter, Si Yiyan didn’t appear that eager to have a child so soon. It made her feel very vexed.

The moment a woman started to harbor thoughts about having a child, those thoughts would gradually turn into an obsession.

Si Yiyan’s eyes flashed. He pretended not to understand her underlying meaning. “In the Wen Family, you are the one who cares for him the most. Of course he is closest to you. Children are the purest angels in this world. They look muddled, but their instincts are the most accurate.”

After Jinyu was born, Xinya revealed just how much she wanted a child.

He always did his best to give her everything she wanted.

So, over the past year, Xinya’s nourishing tonics had been changed to those that would help in conceiving. Meanwhile, they also increased their frequency of love-making. However, her tummy remained flat.

As calm as Si Yiyan usually was, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat anxious.

How could it be that someone as smart as Si Yiyan didn’t understand her underlying meaning? Hence, the smile on Wen Xinya’s face faded. “Si Yiyan, do you not like children? Why are you always avoiding the subject of us having children?”

She hadn’t thought this way before. But after the previous few times, she could feel something off about Si Yiyan’s attitude.

She had guessed that Si Yiyan might be worried she had inherited the Mo Family’s weak childbearing genes, and couldn’t bear to have her endure the pain of pregnancy and birth. But she would feel like an incomplete woman if she was unable to bear children for the man she loved.

Once a woman had a man she loved, she would naturally harbor thoughts of bearing children for him. This was something that could not be controlled.

Si Yiyan hurriedly pulled her into his embrace to comfort her. “What nonsense are you spouting? I just feel that it’s still too soon for us to be having children, and so didn’t give this matter much consideration yet.”

He hadn’t told her the truth about her body’s condition as he was afraid she would not be able to bear it.

However, he also knew that there was no way he could keep this a secret for long.

So the best way was to pretend that he didn’t want children for now.

Wen Xinya didn’t agree. “I feel that the time is just right for us to have children now. Experts have proven that the most fertile years for a woman is between the ages of 23 to 28, and between 25 to 30 for a man. A child conceived during this period will be the most healthy and the most intelligent. It also harbors the least chance of having any defects.”

Further, it was physically more difficult for her to conceive, so now was the right time to start preparing.

Si Yiyan felt exasperated. “I don’t mean it that way. It’s just that Lanxin Company only recently went public, and Xia Ruya has been eyeing Wen Corporation like a ferocious predator. Meanwhile, the Korean-Chinese Alliance is still hiding in the shadows. Now is really not the right time to have a child.”

Si Yiyan tried to convince her.

However, as reasonable as his points were, Wen Xinya still felt they were not enough to persuade her otherwise. She stared back at Si Yiyan stubbornly.

Si Yiyan sighed softly as he continued. “I am just worried that after having a child, you will focus everything on the kid. I still want to enjoy a few more years with you alone. So, let’s wait a bit more before we talk about having children, alright?”

He gazed deeply and pleadingly into her eyes.

Wen Xinya stared into the deep recesses of his eyes and couldn’t help feeling somewhat lost in those profound depths. She had no choice but to give a slight nod.

Si Yiyan smiled fondly at her.

Wen Xinya couldn’t bear it any longer and turned aside, silently berating herself for being so easily seduced by his charm. “The child is not even in existence yet and you are already jealous of it. You should be ashamed of yourself.”

She might have agreed to Si Yiyan’s request to not have a child for the time being.

But she had quietly decided that she must start preparing to get pregnant.

Anyway, given her physical condition, it wouldn’t be that easy for her to get pregnant right away.

Yes, firstly, she must stop taking her contraceptive soup.

And Si Yiyan must not know of it.

Si Yiyan had no idea of Wen Xinya’s little plans. As intelligent as he was, there was no way he could grasp just how crazy a woman could get after setting her heart on having a child.
