He didn't ask whether she liked children, but rather whether she preferred boys or girls.
Wen Xian raised an eyebrow and seriously countered,
"Why ask such a question? I'm fine with either a boy or a girl. Haven't you heard people say that children are angels from heaven? They are also one in a million, choosing you to be their parents, so... we should feel honored that they could choose us to be their parents, not..."
Being picky and choosy.
Wen Xian didn't speak again. She didn't finish her words, only because she knew Lu Xiao didn't mean anything else, nor was he that kind of person.
The kind that was like the people who had brought her into the world.
Lu Xiao sensitively picked up on her thoughts, his heart tingling slightly, and a vague, indescribable ache spread through him.
He still remembered Wen Xian mentioning that her father favored sons over daughters.
Often, as soon as he returned home, he would take his anger out on her mother and her.
