Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Such Good Genes

Wang Bing got in the car.

Ah Sun fell silent then, he rode his bike taking her to a crossing bridge rice noodle shop at the end of the street.

After taking their seats, they sat facing each other.

Perhaps because Wang Bing went to buy him roses at the bar every day, now sitting with Ah Sun felt like sitting with an old acquaintance.

Of course, it was a bit awkward at first. Wang Bing had always played by the rules, and looking at Ah Sun across from her with tattoos and ear piercings, she felt she had changed.

But now, she only cared about being happy, and didn’t bother with anything else.

Ah Sun was a little shy and timid at the beginning, his voice was soft, “Sister Bing, why did you come out alone today? Aren’t you working?”

“Came out to get a divorce today,” she said.

Ah Sun asked in surprise, “You were married? I thought you weren’t, you look very young.”

“You sure have a way with words.” Wang Bing smiled.

Ah Sun shyly smoothed his hair again. His hair was quite long, especially the bangs, but not to the length that needed to be tied up, just that it had some personality.

Wang Bing asked him, “You sleep so late at night, don’t you sleep more during the day?”

“I just got up,” said Ah Sun.

The rice noodles arrived, cooked in a clay pot, steaming hot, and even adorned with a few rose petals, making one’s appetite surge.

Ah Sun asked, “Sister Bing, did you go have French cuisine because you got divorced? I’ve been there with my teammates, and it feels like a rip-off, not as good as Chinese food. But girls like to go there on special days, maybe because of the romance?”

Wang Bing laughed, “Yes, got divorced, so I wanted to give it a try. My ex-husband always said we should try it sometime, but we divorced before we could.”

“Why did you divorce?” Ah Sun asked curiously.

Wang Bing was candid, “Because I can’t have children.”

Ah Sun was stunned for a moment, then asked, “But how do you know the problem isn’t with him, but with you?”

“I’ve had my medical checks, I have a tilted uterus, which makes it quite hard to get pregnant.”

Ah Sun then said with a smile, “I don’t understand medical stuff, but I feel quite honored to know you, Sister Bing. You’re the first doctor friend I have.”

Wang Bing couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “So, you let me request a song every day, knowing full well I wasn’t the highest bidder for the roses? Just because I’m a doctor?”

Ah Sun nodded, then added, “Among those people, you are indeed quite unique.”

“Do you say that to every woman?” She asked with a laugh while slurping the rice noodles.

“How could I?” Ah Sun looked at her slightly askance, his gaze sincere, “On the nights you came, have I let anyone else request a song besides you?”

Wang Bing couldn’t help but smile.

That was true, indeed.

She then asked him, “How old are you? Married? Got a girlfriend?”

Ah Sun said, “Who would take a liking to someone like me?”

“Pfft, what’s wrong with you? You’re tall, handsome, should be very popular with the girls, isn’t that why so many people buy your roses?”

Ah Sun shook his head, “I’m almost 30, can only sing, come from an average family, my family thinks I’m not serious about life, lead a nocturnal lifestyle, frequenting shady places, so I only attract the attention of wealthy women. But they just want to toy with me, marrying me or giving their daughters to me is out of the question. Plus, I’m living off my youth, in a few more years when I’ve aged, the bars won’t need someone like me anymore, thinking I have no vitality.”

“But I think you sing quite well.”

“That’s because you haven’t seen real singers,” Ah Sun gave a bitter laugh.

Wang Bing still encouraged him: “No matter what, it’s pretty impressive that you can stick to your hobby. You should keep at it, and we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it if it really doesn’t work out.”

Ah Sun nodded and then smiled again: “Thanks for the encouragement, Sister Bing.”

After finishing the crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, Ah Sun asked Wang Bing: “Sister Bing, where do you need to go next? Shall I drop you off?”

Wang Bing checked the time; it was only one in the afternoon.

If she went back to the dorm, she would either sleep or look at her phone. She said, “No need, I think I’ll go to the mall for a bit?”

Ah Sun then asked, “Do you want me to come with you?”

“Aren’t you afraid of getting bored?” Wang Bing asked with a smile: “Have you never accompanied a woman shopping before?”

“I’ve been with my ex-girlfriend,” said Ah Sun. “Actually, it’s nothing much, just trying on clothes, waiting outside for a while, then having a milk tea together and watching a movie or something. I don’t find it boring at all.”

“Perfect, I was actually thinking of going to see a movie,” Wang Bing said.

“I know there’s a new sci-fi movie that’s come out recently. Are you interested, Sister Bing?”

“That’s the one I was thinking of watching,” Wang Bing had already decided on it during the French meal.

Sci-fi movies are exciting and can help reduce feelings of sadness.

So, the two of them went to see the movie, and Ah Sun even bought some popcorn.

Perhaps it was Ah Sun’s company that made the difference, but even though Wang Bing got divorced that day, she wasn’t too downhearted. After the movie, they parted ways, just like two old friends.

…

Su Meixi took some time to check out the new villa with Gu Wei today.

Since they paid the developer directly to handle the renovation, it was done particularly quickly, and the hard decoration part was almost complete.

For the soft decoration, Su Meixi also decided to have the design company take care of it. They would use custom-made furniture and curtains, and they would just move in with their bags when everything was ready.

Because she was going to live in a big villa again, her mood had been particularly good these days.

She imagined living here with Gu Wei for the next ten years, bearing and raising children, coming home from work to little kids running towards her with their arms wide open, babbling eagerly.

The little kids, soft and sweet, would also surely feel comfortable to hold.

On rest days, she would plant flowers with the kids in the yard, raise little turtles, and bask in the sun together.

The family affection she didn’t enjoy in her childhood, perhaps she could find it in her own children.

Just the thought of it made her happy!

Listening to her ideas, Gu Wei was also filled with anticipation.

“With such good genes of ours, it would be a waste not to pass them on,” Gu Wei said proudly.

Su Meixi hurriedly said: “It’s not like that, do you know a book called ‘Genetic Lottery’? It’s not that children will definitely be smart if their parents are smart. There are 7 billion possibilities in genes, and what is passed down to the child may not necessarily be the best part.”

Gu Wei couldn’t help but laugh: “My wife, you lack confidence. The children we have will certainly be smart and lovely. Believe me, as long as you keep picturing the child every day, our child will turn out just as you imagine.”

“Isn’t that superstition?” Su Meixi asked with a smile: “Have you started believing in that kind of thing?”

“Believe and it exists, doubt and it doesn’t,” he replied.

The two of them cuddled up together, imagining what their future child would look like.

However, when Su Meixi returned to the big courtyard that day, her period arrived.
