Chapter 226: Are You Sure That the Baby’s a Little Princess?

“Yes… what’s wrong? Are you disappointed?” He Xiyan suddenly sat up and grew more confused as she looked at his puzzled face.

She had always wanted a daughter and she hoped for a daughter during her first pregnancy, so her wish had come true this time. However, after some thought, it seemed as though Ye Hao’s parents and Ye Hao were hoping that she would give birth to a little prince? Especially since her mother-in-law had asked her to take care of herself the last time she visited and even said that she was waiting to carry her grandson in nine months’ time.

She thought for a moment and realized that all the clues had been so clear! The richer the family, the more they’d hope for a boy and disregard girls.

Would they be disappointed if she gave birth to a girl?

If she wasn’t wrong, she truly felt like she was 80% certain that her baby was a girl.

Ye Hao reached out to pinch her flushed cheeks and his thin lips curved into a small smile. He found her hesitant reaction amusing.

It didn’t matter to him whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl since it would be his child anyway.

“Alright, if you say it is a princess, then it shall be a little princess,” he said as he pulled her into his arms once again. He stared deep into her eyes and placed his large hands on her belly that was still flat, “Was it confirmed by the ultrasound scan?”

He Xiyan shook her head.

“No, the doctor didn’t mention the gender during the ultrasound process but I feel that the baby is a girl because my symptoms are significantly different as compared to the last time I was pregnant.” She had gone online to do some research and discovered that her symptoms were very similar to other women who had eventually given birth to daughters.

This was why she felt that her baby must be a little princess.

“Do you think your parents would be disappointed that they didn’t get to have a grandson?” He Xiyan felt very conflicted at the thought of her parents-in-law’s wish to carry a grandson.

Ye Hao’s lips curved upwards slightly and placed his hands once more on her belly to touch the small life growing within her, their child.

He obviously knew what his parents were thinking. In accordance to the Ye family tradition, their daughters would be doted on and pampered like princesses while their sons would be groomed as heirs to take over the family business. This is why over the centuries, the Ye family have traditionally prefer sons to daughters and took this tradition even more seriously than any other rich family. This was true even up till this day. His sister, Ye Shiyu, didn’t have any company shares or authority within the company and only received a small portion of the family fortune.

His father used to dote on his sister and treat her better than any of his sons.

However, it didn’t matter to him. If his child was a little girl, then his fortune would belong to his little princess. If anyone objected, they could raise their objections directly to him. He didn’t care. In any case, if his daughter had children in the future, they would take the Ye family name as well.

“Ye Hao…” He Xiyan waved her hands in front of his face. She didn’t know what he was thinking. Why hadn’t he shown any reaction after such a long while?

Ye Hao shook himself out of his reverie and smiled. “Alright, don’t think too much. This would be my parent’s first grandchild so they’d be happy with either gender.”

“Really?” She looked at him with disbelief.

Ye Hao pulled her up.

“Let’s go get dinner. I forbid you from dwelling on this matter in the future.” Anyway, this matter wasn’t worth her fretting over either.

Then, he dragged He Xiyan downstairs to the dining hall.

They dined together privately.

The chef brought out the dishes that he had already prepared from the kitchen.

These were all He Xiyan’s favorite dishes – steamed grouper, salted prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised tofu and meatballs with vegetable soup.

It was a nutritious and balanced meal with both meat and vegetables and it looked extremely appetizing.

He Xiyan finally realized why she was putting on so much weight. She was just eating such good food all the time and not exercising. No wonder she was gaining weight.
