Shen Xi originally thought that Chen Chuan had beaten up his daughter and then coaxed her back, and Cai Bao had also accepted the fact that she was about to have a younger brother or sister. The second pregnancy crisis should be considered to have passed smoothly.

Surprisingly, no one did.

That evening, Mr. Chen, who had always been incredibly passionate about sports, found himself with no opportunity to use his talents.

The last time she was pregnant with treasure, Chen Chuan spent the long nights playing games.

Shen Xi never cared about that. Everyone has hobbies, and as long as they're not excessive, there's no need to interfere too much. Even partners and lovers don't like being controlled from head to toe. They're all adults.

This time, she thought Chen Chuan was the same way.

After all, his love for games seems to have never faded, and he plays them like crazy every day.

But she thought she was wrong.

After giving Caibao a bath and putting him to sleep that night, Xiaobai slept right outside Caibao's bedroom door. This wolf had developed this habit somehow; no matter how they bought it a doghouse and put it on the balcony or in the living room, it wouldn't like it. It insisted on sleeping right outside Caibao's door, like a guardian.

"Fine, let them sleep wherever they want," Chen Chuan thought, not caring about it anymore.

He went back to his bedroom.

Shen Xi is getting sleepy early now. In the past, she would still be scrolling through her phone with great interest at this time, but today her eyelids are already heavy.

You know, pregnant women are really strange creatures. Before she got pregnant, she could jump up and fight a tiger without getting tired.

Now that I know, it feels like I'm pregnant again.

My appetite has increased, I'm sleeping more, and my sense of smell is more acute. Fortunately, I haven't experienced morning sickness.

It was only ten o'clock, and she was already fast asleep. Without waiting for Chen Chuan, since she was currently unable to move, Chen Chuan would most likely play games in the living room for an hour or two before going back to his room to sleep.

Who would have thought that tonight, there would be none.

Shen Xi was groggily awakened by the constant tossing and turning beside her. She reached out and touched Chen Chuan's face: "What's wrong? Are you having trouble sleeping?"

"No."

"Then why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'm thinking."

"What are you thinking about? Still thinking about having a second child?"

"more or less."

Shen Xi was exhausted and didn't have time to comfort him. Besides, could a second child really bother Chen Chuan for so long? That doesn't make sense.

He's not the kind of person whose feelings are so delicate that they can't be comforted no matter what.

No, not at all.

Shen Xi stopped caring.

She thought that Chen Chuan was just an exception tonight, and he would return to normal tomorrow.

result--

Three days later, she cupped Chen Chuan's face in her hands, turned it from side to side, and examined him closely: "What's wrong with you? Have you been driven crazy by the shock of having a second child?"

Chen Chuan, his eyes fixed on the tablet, glanced at her briefly and asked, "What are you saying?"

"But you haven't played games for three days."

This is a very serious matter.

Gaming is one of the most important things in Chen Chuan's life. After he lay down, he spent most of his time playing games.

But now, he doesn't even play games anymore, and he stares at a tablet all day long, which is full of colorful things. Shen Xi is a little panicked.

"A second child shouldn't be such a blow to you, Chen Chuan, right?"

Chen Chuan snatched his face away, saying, "I'm busy. Be good and play by yourself for a while."

Hey, do you think she's a treasure?

Shen Xi had no classes this afternoon and observed Chen Chuan at home for quite a while. He not only didn't play games at night, but he didn't even play them during the day.

This is going to be a big problem.

Is it scientifically possible for a man who plays games with his wife until midnight, and might even play one more game during his post-coital period before finally going to sleep comfortably, to not play games for three days?

This unscientific.

Shen Xi snatched Chen Chuan's tablet away: "What are you doing?"

Upon closer inspection, all she saw were curves and numbers, in red and green. Although Shen Xi had never eaten pork, she had at least seen pigs run before.

"Is this the stock market?"

"Hmm." Chen Chuan put the tablet away. "To be precise, this is the futures market."

"Have you been working on this lately?"

"Ah."

Chen Chuan was busy tapping on the tablet with his finger, seemingly performing buy and sell operations.

Shen Xi sat down beside him, resting her head on his shoulder: "Mr. Chen~~"

Her voice is sweet.

She watched his various actions, which she couldn't understand, but she knew they were all ways to make money, and she was extremely envious.

"Ok?"

Why are you so eager to make money lately?

Although it used to be quite high, it has mostly been in a flat state, occasionally going up to make a quick profit, not focusing on these stocks and futures.

For the past three days, whenever he had free time, Chen Chuan would be using his phone and tablet, just like a financial tycoon who could manipulate the market.

Did he convert his sexual desire into a desire for money?

Shen Xi was amused by her own imagination.

Chen Chuan glanced at her: "I told Cai Bao before that all the money in the house would be given to her in the future."

"Yes, I remember."

"That day I told her, it won't be like that anymore."

Shen Xi nodded in understanding. They used to think that Caibao was their only child, so all the money would naturally be left to her.

Besides, where can you find a baby so tiny that can earn so much money for their parents?

She should receive this money too.

Shen Xi agreed, but while she would give it, she wouldn't give it in advance. The couple had a consensus on this matter.

"I've never forgotten the look in her eyes after I said those words that day."

Confused, at a loss, bewildered, and puzzled.

"As soon as I close my eyes, I can picture her eyes back then."

Oh, Shen Xi remembered.

"So that's why you couldn't sleep that night?"

"Ah."

This doting father couldn't sleep well over something as trivial as treasure; he tossed and turned, waking her up in the process.

"So, what does your behavior over the past three days have to do with this?"

“I told you before that we must keep our promise to Treasure.”

what?

Shen Xi looked at Chen Chuan in disbelief: "You mean..."

"I still intend to give all my property to Treasure."

Shen Xi remained silent for a while before finally saying, "At least leave some for me. My salary alone isn't enough to support two children..."

She also wanted to live a better life, saying, "As the old saying goes, it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality."

All the property was given to Caibao, and their whole family is now living off her salary; it's a bit pitiful.

Besides, two children are like two money-shredding machines; they'll cost a lot of money.

Even if the treasure is their precious possession, these two children weren't adopted.

Chen Chuan reached out and flicked her forehead: "What are you thinking? How could my child, Chen Chuan's child, live a poor life?"

He can afford to give birth to them, and he can afford to raise them.

"So what? Our whole family is just leeching off Sister Caibao?"

Shen Xi would definitely be willing to be taken advantage of, as she is already earning money to support the family, but she is unwilling to let Cai Bao support the family and her younger siblings.

Chen Chuan gave her another slap: "Open your mind."
