Bringing Along a Ball and Hiding from Foreign Devils
Chapter 53
Sometimes life was so wonderful. The flowers you planted with the intention did not bloom, but the willow you planted without the intention did. The more you wanted something, the more you could not get it.
It had been almost half a year since the two of them began to stop using contraceptives, but there was still no news of Ren Zhouyuan's belly.
At first, he was a little expectant, waiting for the birth of his second child with excitement. However, as time passed, he was only left with anxiety and disappointment.
Sometimes he would wonder if it was because he did not want to have a baby before, so he scared the baby away. Sometimes he would wonder if he could not have another baby after giving birth to Anan.
Perhaps Anan was their first and last child.
For this matter, he even went to see the doctor who had delivered his child without telling Leonid, his friend who had grown up with him in the orphanage.
After the examination, his friend told him that there was no problem with his fertility, but it was rare for men to get pregnant. Perhaps because of this, his fertility rate was lower than that of ordinary women.
After hearing this, Ren Zhouyuan thought that since it was not hopeless, he could always do it as long as he worked harder.
So he used all his strength to force Leonid to do it every day. Even Leonid, who was a fierce general, was scared by him.
Leonid saw that Ren Zhouyuan was obsessed with having a child, and could not help but secretly blame himself for putting too much pressure on him before.
Before he knew that Ren Zhouyuan was fertile, he just thought of him as an ordinary man. He was also ready to come out of the closet to his family and live with Ren Zhouyuan for the rest of his life.
Later, when he knew that Ren Zhouyuan had such an unexpected surprise, he became greedy.
He knew that Ren Zhouyuan's eagerness to have a child was more or less influenced by him. If the second child arrived on schedule, it would be a happy thing. But if it was delayed, according to Ren Zhouyuan's character, he did not know how far he would push himself.
Therefore, he tried different ways to help Ren Zhouyuan relax. The family of three went on a vacation abroad, and they went on dates like ordinary couples. As long as it was something he could think of, he would take Ren Zhouyuan to do it. But no matter what, Ren Zhouyuan was still thinking about her pregnancy, and she couldn't relax at all.
Leonid had no choice but to make another call to his family in another country for help.
Leonid didn't hide anything from his family. He told them the whole story, including the time when they quarreled. He hoped that they could help him think more about it.
After hearing Leonid's story, the other side started cursing and scolding Leonid, saying that he didn't care about Ren Zhouyuan's health and did all these shameless things.
Leonid held the phone and was scolded. After they finished scolding him one by one, he asked patiently, "What should I do now?"
All of a sudden, everyone became enthusiastic and tried to come up with ideas for Leonid. However, most of the ideas they came up with were things that Leonid had already done before. In the end, Anna clapped her hands and said to Leonid, "Have you thought about when to get married?"
Leonid was stunned when he heard that, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The family secretly planned on the phone. Leonid wrote down the main points they said one by one. After hanging up the phone, he looked at the content written in his notebook and smiled unconsciously.
An Na and the others quickly packed their luggage after the phone call that day and came to China with Yi Geer and Alexander to visit them. A few days later, even Alex's family came. For a while, the family was very lively.
During this time, Ren Zhouyuan was upset because of the second child. It happened that the Maker's Base was about to open, so he was very busy with work. However, Leonid often went out at this time, and even Ren Zhouyuan did not know where he went.
Busy with work in the morning and dealing with Leonid's family in the evening, Ren Zhouyuan was so tired that he did not have time to talk to Leonid on the phone. Often, he would fall asleep as soon as he hit the bed after taking a shower. Several days had passed like this, so he had less time to think about the children.
This time, Aleksey also brought Anatoli with him. Since the first time they met, in order not to be looked down upon by Leonid, Anan also began to learn Russian. Therefore, although he stuttered this time, the two children were finally able to communicate normally.
Alex's wife, Da Liya, was still beautiful and generous as the last time they met. Her gestures were full of the demeanor of a lady from a respectable family. But slowly, Ren Zhouyuan found that she was a little different.
Ren Zhouyuan could not tell what was different, but Ren Zhouyuan did feel a little different from Alex and Anatoli's attitude towards her.
Alex had always doted on his wife, so he naturally took good care of Da Liya. But Anatoli, the naughty boy, also knew how to take care of his mother, which surprised Ren Zhouyuan. When he met Anatoli before, he always rushed into Da Liya's arms.
Ren Zhouyuan wanted to ask, but his relationship with this family was not so good, especially with this sister-in-law. He usually did not talk much, but he was full of curiosity. Finally, when he accidentally saw Da Liya touching her belly, Ren Zhouyuan finally understood why he felt so strange.
When he saw Da Liya sitting alone on the sofa and looking at Anatoli, he walked to her side and sat down. After chatting with her for a while, he asked her tentatively, "Da Liya, I think Anatoli has become much more obedient recently. I used to see him rushing around. Did anything good happen recently?"
Da Liya smiled at him, and the way she looked at Ren Zhouyuan seemed to see through his heart.
Ren Zhouyuan coughed uncomfortably and could not help feeling embarrassed for his rash behavior.
He was about to say something, but Da Liya took his hand and raised her eyebrows at him.
Ren Zhouyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Can I?"
Da Liya nodded with a smile, then gently took his hand and put it on her slightly protruding belly.
There was no movement under her belly, but for some reason, Ren Zhouyuan still felt a little different with such a simple action.
Da Liya said with a smile, "I'm pregnant, more than four months. Anatoli will have a brother soon."
Ren Zhouyuan looked at her in surprise. After a while, he nodded, took back his hand, and sat quietly on the sofa with Da Liya, watching Anatoli and Anan play on the carpet in front of them.
Pregnancy should be a beautiful process. Ren Zhouyuan understood this from Da Liya's expression.
He began to reflect on his behavior. These days, he seemed to have made a mistake. It was not until now that he realized that he had regarded giving birth to a child as a task that must be completed.
Ever since he decided to have another child, he had never seriously considered what the arrival of a child meant or what they would have to face after the birth of the child. In the past, he had relied on his own strength to raise An 'an. Now that he had Leonid and so many other family members, he was relieved to rely on them. He didn't even know if An' an liked this future brother or sister of hers.
He began to slow down his pace and stopped thinking about it impatiently. But when he turned back to share with Leonid, he found that he had disappeared for more than a week.
During this period of time, Ren Zhouyuan was very busy with work, but he still kept talking to Leonid on the phone every night. He knew that Leonid was probably doing something in a foreign city, but he would go to different places every day. Today he went to this country, and tomorrow he did not know where he would go.
Ren Zhouyuan thought that Leonid was busy with work, but when he asked Luo En, he found that Leonid had no plans to go out at all recently. Once he was free, Ren Zhouyuan began to wonder what Leonid had been doing.
However, the visit of An Na and her people did not seem to give him a chance to relax. When the preparatory work for the opening of the Maker's Base was almost done, Ren Zhouyuan had only been able to relax for less than a day before he was pestered by An Na, who asked him to take them around.
Ren Zhouyuan would not refuse their request, but An Na seemed to have new plans every day, and those plans always involved Ren Zhouyuan. Ren Zhouyuan had never experienced the warmth of family since he was a child. These days, An Na took him everywhere to buy things and meet friends. She introduced Ren Zhouyuan to others everywhere as her son. Ren Zhouyuan could not help but feel dizzy. His whole body felt light, and he did not remember who Leonid was.
During this time, Leonid was not at home, and Ren Zhouyuan did not have to sleep in a big bed alone, so he went back to sleep with Anan.
He remembered that he did not know what Anan thought of his younger brother and sister. This night, he just thought of this matter, so he was thinking of getting some information from Anan.
Recently, the relationship between Anan and Anatoli was getting better and better. The two children of the same age had their own common topics, and the atmosphere was much better than when they first met.
They played with the models brought back from Wei Qi all day long. The models that Leonid bought for Anan were the best and most advanced ones, which even Anatoli had never seen before. The two children played happily. Ren Zhouyuan naturally felt that Anan wanted a younger brother, who could play with him like Anatoli.
He held Anan, thought for a moment, and asked, "Anan, do you like Anatoli?"
Anan did not think much and nodded, "He is so good at flying vertical take-off and landing planes!"
Ren Zhouyuan guessed that it was probably the name of a model. He nodded and said, "If Anan has a younger brother like Anatoli in the future, will Anan like him?"
Anan tilted his head and said, "Isn't Anatoli a younger brother?"
Ren Zhouyuan pinched his nose, "I mean a younger brother. You can see him and play with him every day."
Anan listened and thought for a while. Suddenly he frowned, hugged Ren Zhouyuan and said, "Dad, do you mean you and Big Daddy will give Anan a younger brother?"
Ren Zhouyuan did not expect Anan to understand his words so quickly. He hugged him a little nervously and said, "Well, does Anan like a younger brother or a younger sister?"
Unexpectedly, Anan suddenly hugged Ren Zhouyuan tightly and said sadly, "Anan doesn't want a younger brother or a younger sister!
Anan only wants a younger brother!
I don't like Anatoli anymore!
Dad doesn't want to give Anan a younger brother! "
Ren Zhouyuan was suddenly stunned. After a while, Ren Zhouyuan felt a wet place where Anan was hugging. He panicked and hurriedly stroked Anan's back to comfort him.
How could they have missed out on something that An 'an wouldn't like?
