1970s Gangster Couple

Xiao Xiao was just joking, and when Wang Wei tapped her forehead, she wasn't angry. Instead, she leaned into his embrace, playing with his fingers. "Let's have a child."

"Cough..." Suddenly hearing Xiao Xiao say this, Wang Wei coughed a few times abruptly: "Why do you suddenly want a child?"

"What, you don't want one?" Xiao Xiao climbed out of Wang Wei's embrace and squinted at him.

Wang Wei hurriedly shook his head. A child, their child, just the thought of a child carrying both Xiao Xiao's and his blood made Wang Wei's heart soften instantly.

"But didn't you say you didn't want one for now?" Previously, Xiao Xiao teased him with the idea of having children, but later he realized that Xiao Xiao was just teasing him. Xiao Xiao mentioned they should first ensure their bodies are well-prepared before having a child, and Wang Wei agreed with her.

Xiao Xiao smiled with her eyes narrowed into crescents: "Now that we've been consuming this nutritional liquid for so long and our bodies have been well-regulated, we can have a baby. When I get pregnant, we'll use the gene fluid I've developed, ensuring our baby will be smart and adorable."

"The gene fluid is ready?" Wang Wei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the thought of a child with Xiao Xiao...

"Of course, I've had the formula ready for a while now, just waiting for the laboratory to be completed so we can produce it." The government was eagerly building this laboratory. When she mentioned wanting a personal laboratory, they were more than enthusiastic. The central idea was to build it according to Xiao Xiao's specifications so she could conduct whatever research she wanted, hopefully leading to more breakthroughs like the quantum computer, which would surely thrill them.

Wang Wei touched Xiao Xiao's head: "But I'm going to be very busy recently. If you really get pregnant, I won't be able to take care of you." Not to mention, Xiao Xiao's dietary needs were a big issue. She only ate food grown from cultivation liquid, which couldn't be known to outsiders.

"It's okay. Our backyard is big enough to dedicate a patch for a vegetable garden. We can hire someone to help with cooking. If we use the cultivation liquid for growing vegetables and don't tell anyone, no one will know."

Xiao Xiao had everything planned out, taking advantage of the government's current lack of major issues.

Hearing this, Wang Wei had nothing to say, but he resolved to make more time to be with Xiao Xiao.

He stood up and carried Xiao Xiao in his arms horizontally.

Xiao Xiao exclaimed, puzzled: "What are you doing?"

"What? Since we're having a child, I need to put in some effort," he said, heading towards the bedroom.

Xiao Xiao playfully scolded: "There's no rush; it's still daytime, mm..." Her voice was silenced by Wang Wei.

Though they talked about having children, it wasn't something they expected to happen immediately. They continued their efforts night after night while going about their normal lives.

Xiao Xiao knew the authorities would be uneasy about them hiring a nanny on their own, so she reported it directly to them.

Finding a nanny for Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei might seem trivial to others, but it was treated with utmost seriousness. This was someone who would be in close contact with Xiao Xiao, and they couldn't be too careful.

After Xiao Xiao spread the word, it took about three days before Yun San brought a man and a woman to them. The man was about thirty, with one sleeve empty, and the woman was slightly older but probably not yet forty.
