General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 287: The Old Father’s Heart (2)

Ji Xiaowu leaned in Fang Chen's arms, her brows and eyes smiling happily. Fang Chen doted on her but was helpless, so he held her and let her laugh to her heart's content.

"Even you laugh at me." Fang Chen said helplessly. Ji Xiaomu leaned on Fang Chen's arms and looked up. "I'm not making fun of you! I just think your sudden sentimentality is a little cute."

"I'm a little bit looking forward to what you'll be like as a father." Ji Xiaomu smiled. Fang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard Ji Xiaomu's words, "Are you pregnant?"

"What are you thinking about! No, and... now is not the right time to get pregnant." Mother Ji shyly hit Fang Chen twice. She was not pregnant!

She was just curious about what Fang Chen would be like after becoming a father. She thought he might be a strict father, with a blank expression on his face but the kind of father who would secretly help others.

"Yeah." Fang Chen looked a little disappointed, but he immediately became happy again. "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

"You're thinking about it now?" Ji Xiaomu was surprised, and then asked: "What about you? Do you like sons or daughters?"

"I want a son and a daughter. My son can protect you like I do, and my daughter can be like you." Fang Chen said with longing, "I want to teach my son martial arts, and together we can protect the two most important women in my life."

"Aren't you a bit partial? What about your daughter? You want to teach your son martial arts, but you won't teach your daughter?" Ji Xiaomu asked with a smile. She had a feeling that if he really gave birth to a son and a daughter, and if they didn't follow his idea, and his daughter loved martial arts but his son didn't, he would be so angry that he would die.

"If my daughter doesn't want to learn, I won't let her get hurt." Fang Chen said, "How can my delicate daughter endure the pain of practicing martial arts? Let my son practice it."

"...You're thinking too early before things even start to go as planned. If things don't go according to your plan, you'll be mad as hell." Mother Ji said with a smile.

Nothing is absolute, so don't be too sure.

"I don't care. If it's a daughter, I will give you the best and protect you for the rest of your life." Fang Chen became more and more excited.

Ji Xiaowu smiled without saying anything, her eyes full of love.

"I have to say, I suddenly feel a sense of relief." Fang Chen hugged Ji Xiaomu for a while, looked at the starry sky, and said.

"To them?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen.

"When we were young, we had no one to rely on and we often went hungry. One time, Lou Yu fell ill and had diarrhea and vomiting. I blamed myself because I gave him the moldy bun. I carried Lou Yu's head to four or five doctors, but they all refused to help us. Lou Yu even comforted me and told me not to run away. I didn't believe it, so I ran to another town with Lou Yu on my back. Finally, a doctor was found who was willing to treat Lou Yu. I helped the doctor take care of his belongings and paid off the medical expenses. It took seven days to cure Lou Yu," Fang Chen recalled.

"Since then, I have considered them my responsibility. I must shoulder the responsibility of the eldest brother and take good care of my younger brothers. I cannot let them encounter things like what happened to Lou Yu again." Fang Chen said. He considered himself the older brother, and as an older brother he must protect his younger brothers.

Ji Xiao'er held Fang Chen's hand with heartache. He defined himself as a brother, but he did more than just a brother's job. He also took on the responsibilities of a father. As the eldest brother is like a father, he had to take care of so many younger brothers, but he was not much older than them and was still a child.

"You've been very successful. You've taken care of them and they've grown up." Ji Xiaowu looked at Fang Chen and said distressedly. "Without you, there would be no them. You've been very successful in training them. They've grown up. You can let go now."
