TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

Chapter 470: I Don’t Have a Son like That

“Which part is complicated?” Huo Jinyao held her hand. “I just got started, and you’re already saying it’s complicated. I haven’t even started to introduce my grandaunt and her family!”

He squeezed Su Qingsang’s hand. Taking out his phone, he showed her pictures of his family so that she could put names to faces.

Huo Mingfan had one son and one daughter, while Huo Mingqi had two sons. They were all Huo Jinyao’s cousins, and none of them were married yet.

Huo Yangxiu, Huo Jinyao’s grandaunt, had married a commander in the army. She was the youngest of her siblings, and she had two sons and one daughter.

She’d had her youngest son when she was forty, so he was almost the same age as Huo Jinyao.

All of her children were married. Like herself, her daughter had married an army man. Currently, grandaunt lived at the army base with her husband. Their eldest son was also serving in the army. He had twin sons who were fifteen years old, and they were the youngest members of the family so far.

“Stop, I feel dizzy,” Su Qingsang complained. Even though Huo Jinyao had tried to help with the pictures, she couldn’t possibly remember so many people at one time.

“Huo Jinyao, can you refresh me on them right before the dinner party? And can you give me tips on who’s who during the party?”

“You...” Huo Jinyao gently pinched Su Qingsang’s nose, saying, “You don’t need to memorize all of it. I’ll remind you who’s who at the party.”

“Mm...” Su Qingsang nodded. “All these people, that cousin of yours—they don’t live in this city. You don’t get many chances to spend time with them, do you?”

“No,” Huo Jinyao answered the question honestly. “My granduncle was a governor. I used to go to his place during summer vacation, but that was boring. He was very busy and had many visitors every day. When I got older, I never went there again.”

“What about your grandaunt?”

“Grandaunt? She lives at the army base with her husband. Not many people are allowed to enter that place, but I’ve been there a few times. I have a good relationship with my two uncles.”

“And,” said Huo Jinyao, abruptly turning around to lie on Su Qingsang, “my eldest uncle has twin boys. Should we try to have twins too? It’d be even better if we could have a boy and a girl.”

Su Qingsang hit him on the chest and said, “Twins? Really? A boy and a girl?”

How could she possibly have control over the number and gender of her children?

“Don’t you believe it’s possible?” Huo Jinyao put his forehead against hers, saying, “Don’t you believe in my abilities?”

“Stop it!” Su Qingsang hadn’t even decided if she wanted a child so soon.

Huo Jinyao turned her body around and trapped her in his arms. “You don’t believe me? Maybe I’ve been too nice to you recently. It’s time to show you what I can do.”

“Huo Jinyao.”

Su Qingsang twisted her body, but couldn’t break free from Huo Jinyao’s strong arms.

Before she could react, he pressed his lips against hers to stop her from speaking.

Nevertheless, when he released her, Huo Jinyao still got up to fetch condoms from the drawer.

As Su Qingsang looked at him in surprise, he kissed her earlobe.

“Dear, of course we’ll have children if you want to, and we won’t if you don’t want to.”
