Chapter 187: Chapter 143: Is a Cigarette More Satisfying Than Me?
Lin Wanyu’s words caught Gao Yuan by surprise.
’Why the sudden desire for a child? We’ve talked about kids a few times, but Lin Wanyu never seemed that keen on the idea!’
Gao Yuan glanced at Li Mengqing, hoping for some clarification.
Li Mengqing simply nodded at him, confirming that yes, Lin Wanyu was serious about wanting a child.
Gao Yuan understood.
’They must have talked about what Li Mengqing and I discussed last time,’ he figured. ’That must be what led to this.’
"Are you sure you want a child?"
Lin Wanyu looked at Gao Yuan and gave a nod that was both earnest and sweetly docile.
She knew Gao Yuan had a soft spot for this; the more sweet and docile she acted, the more he doted on her.
Just as Lin Wanyu had predicted, Gao Yuan reached out and gently caressed her cheek.
"Then let’s have one!"
Hearing Gao Yuan’s definite "yes," Lin Wanyu joyfully threw herself into his arms.
"You’re the best!"
Gao Yuan truly doted on Lin Wanyu; in fact, his affection for her was visibly greater than for Li Mengqing and Xiao Xiao.
This was mainly because Lin Wanyu understood what Gao Yuan wanted, and with her personality being what it was, it was inevitable that Gao Yuan showed her some favoritism.
Li Mengqing, on the other hand, was the type to give quietly. Gao Yuan felt a deeper sense of protective tenderness for Li Mengqing than for Lin Wanyu, so he never forgot about her in anything he did.
As for Xiao Xiao, when Gao Yuan was with her, it was more about enjoyment. Xiao Xiao was three years older than Gao Yuan, and her perspective and strategic thinking were much stronger than his.
Coupled with her years of dedicated charity work, her personality had become more like that of the grand matriarch of a wealthy ancient family—poised, dignified, and capable of managing everything with effortless grace.
It just went to show that everyone had a different personality, and thus, the dynamics of their relationships varied.
However, Gao Yuan’s love for these three women came from the bottom of his heart, and he did his best to treat them all equally.
Since both Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing had brought up having children today, Gao Yuan once again shared his thoughts with them.
He wanted children too, and he had no preference for a boy or a girl.
However, he stressed the importance of preparing for the pregnancy.
The reason was simple: he wanted to have healthy children with them and didn’t want any accidents to happen. That was a problem no amount of money could solve.
If they were to have a child that wasn’t healthy, it would be a huge disaster for them and for the child.
Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing both agreed with Gao Yuan’s point of view. On this matter, they would definitely listen to him.
At the same time, Gao Yuan also proposed a new idea for their entrepreneurial venture.
The film and television part he had mentioned before—he decided not to have them handle it. He would just set up a department within Yuanfang Company to service the brand.
"Then what will we do?"
Hearing that Gao Yuan wasn’t going to let them get into the film and television industry, Lin Wanyu felt that their startup venture had lost its momentum.
"Not so fast."
Gao Yuan gathered his thoughts and said seriously to the two of them, "I’ve asked my mom to look for a secret traditional Chinese medicine formula for pregnancy preparation, and I’m also in talks to see if I can buy the formula."
"Is it from the same doctor who made those little pills you gave my mom?"
’She just handed me the perfect excuse,’ Gao Yuan thought, ’saving me a lot of explaining.’
"Yes."
"I’m planning to acquire the secret formula, and then while you two are preparing for pregnancy, we can start a business in this area."
Then, Gao Yuan told them his entire plan.
As they listened, their eyes lit up.
What a great idea!
Lin Wanyu had a lot of faith in that traditional Chinese medicine doctor’s products. She had been taking that medicine for a week and was already better; it was miraculous.
Besides, they were both going to be preparing for pregnancy themselves. If they took it and it worked, that would be the best advertisement.
They could totally build a brand around the two of them.
Lin Wanyu had even thought of a brand name: "Mommy-To-Be!"
After they finished discussing the matter, Gao Yuan told the two women he needed to double down on making money.
He wanted to buy a nice house in Hang City so that they’d have enough space when they were pregnant.
Speaking of the house, both Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing offered to sell their own places so they could all buy a big house together.
Gao Yuan, of course, refused their kind offer.
’If they paid for it, the System wouldn’t recognize it.’
Besides, he really wanted to earn the money to buy a house himself. A house was the kind of thing that you felt more at ease living in if you bought it with your own money.
After their chat, Gao Yuan saw that it was still early and decided to take the two of them downstairs to work out.
This time, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing were much more motivated during their workout.
After all, they needed to be healthy to have a healthy baby.
After the workout, Gao Yuan didn’t feel like cooking, so he took them out to eat.
At dinner, Lin Wanyu’s way of ordering was quite interesting.
Half the dishes were to replenish Gao Yuan’s vitality, while the other half were very light and simple.
She and Li Mengqing stuck to the light dishes, a sight that left Gao Yuan feeling rather moved.
’Women are amazing,’ he thought. ’They can really endure anything for the sake of a child.’
After dinner, with some rare free time, Gao Yuan watched some TV with the two of them.
When it was time for their baths, he gave them both a good scrubbing.
And this time, it really was just a scrubbing; neither Lin Wanyu nor Li Mengqing tried to start anything.
According to Lin Wanyu, he needed to rest up and save his strength; he had to be in peak condition for baby-making.
It was past ten at night.
Gao Yuan looked at Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing lying in bed, gave them both a kiss, and then went downstairs and left.
