Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant! by White Moon Lake

Chapter 533: Chapter 533 Song Boyuan felt he could agree to anything Jing Qiao asked, but upon hearing the number and types of pets she mentioned, he was somewhat horrified.

He was silent for a long while.

Then he said, "One dog, or one cat." He didn't like small animals, which was not surprising since, having lived for thirty years, he didn't have any particular likings, except for Jing Qiao. The rest were either extremely detested, very disliked, somewhat disliked, or slightly disliked.

After thinking it over, Jing Qiao said, "One dog, two cats, one Corolla duck, or one parrot." Song Boyuan's temple throbbed. He coughed lightly, "One canine, one feline, and one avian. That's my final offer, Qiaoqiao, be good." "Deal," Jing Qiao said. She had intentionally asked for a lot initially just so she would have more room to negotiate.

Song Boyuan sighed in relief, but still decided to ask her, "Anything else?" Even if she might propose terms he found hard to accept, he still wanted to know, to accommodate, to indulge.

"And you have to volunteer withevery month, either at an orphanage or an animal shelter." Jing Qiao played with Song Boyuan's nerves like they were elastic bands, bouncing around on them.

He asked, "Do I have to go? Can't I just donate money?" "No, you have to go," Jing Qiao said. "Small animals and children are gifts from heaven. You need to interact with these soft beings; it helps with your guidance and recovery." "I'm already in contact with soft you," Song Boyuan murmured under his breath.

Jing Qiao didn't speak and just looked intently at him.

Song Boyuan met her gaze for a moment and sighed softly, "How many times a month?" "Once a week, but if you're too busy at work, at least twice a month," Jing Qiao said.

Song Boyuan nodded, "All right. Anything else?" "I like children," Jing Qiao looked at him. "A lot." Song Boyuan thought she was referring to their unborn child, which made his heart sink, and a surge of hatred toward Liu Jiarong and her sons welled up inside him, his eyes filled with dark and violent emotions.

"But my health isn't great, and I don't know if I can still have children. So, if I can't, we'll have to adopt two, either gender." Jing Qiao laid out these conditions, not only to set clear terms but also to present him with a vision of a future he could see now.

To give him hope, to keep him from being pessimistic, perhaps then he wouldn't act so drastically.

Song Boyuan watched her quietly. In Jing Qiao's eyes, he saw the complex and deep emotions weighing down on her, almost suffocating her.

After a while, Song Boyuan said softly, "Baby, is it really okay for a sinner liketo be this happy?" His voice and words revealed his pessimism, "What if one day, you feel it's not enough, and you leave me? Wouldn't it be too cruel to makehappy and then leave? I wouldn't be able to handle it." Song Boyuan didn't want to be unhappy; he was just scared.

He didn't hide his fear from Jing Qiao.

He had been so happy once, he thought he was blessed by the heavens.

Then, his happiness was shattered.

It was a painful fall from grace into an abyss. It might be better to just stay in the abyss.

"Why not treata little worse but never leave me? At least, even if you hateand ignore me, although it hurts, I'm... somewhat used to it." His voice remained calm, emotionless, cold with a metallic edge.

Yet, his words made him sound so lowly, downtrodden to the dust.

Jing Qiao felt as though her heart was broken into pieces, bleeding and leaking air.

"Why can't we be happy? You are a sinner, true, but isn't that my way of punishing you? If you think the punishment isn't enough, then lethave two dogs, three cats, a pair of ducks, and a pair of parrots." As Jing Qiao spoke, she quickly lowered her head to wipe her eyes.

Song Boyuan gently touched her face.

Jing Qiao took a deep breath and continued, "It's not all for you. I, myself, also want something to look forward to. Is that so bad?" "Good," Song Boyuan always pampered her without a complaint, but after a pause, he added, "Two dogs, three cats, a pair of ducks, a pair of parrots is not okay." Jing Qiao couldn't help but want to smile, her lips curving slightly.

She glanced at the time, "Let's go, let's head back." Song Boyuan inquired, "Going to visit your uncle in the hospital?"

"No, let's just go back. Ji Ning already had someone handle your discharge, didn't he?" Jing ng Qiao thought for a moment" still need to stop by the store to buy sstuff, we have no groceries at home. Just have the driver dropoff there." "I'll cwith you," Song Boyuan said.

Jing Qiao looked at him, "You're still injured, and the concussion needs more rest. Plus, you don't like going to stores, do you?" "Now I do," Song Boyuan said.

He took out his cell phone and called the driver, instructing concisely, "At the entrance."

Then he walked with Jing Qiao towards the hospital entrance.

Seeing the young driver in the driver's In seat, Jing Qiao Couldn't help but turn to Song Boyuan, "We'll need to buy something for the driver to visit him, because of your unreasonable demands, he had to be hospitalized." Song Boyuan pursed his lips, his voice softening, "I paid him." "Is money omnipotent?" Jing Qiao challenged him.

Song Boyuan couldn't help but retort, "Isn't it?" "If it were, with all your money, why did I still leave you before?" Jing Qiao looked at him.

Song Boyuan conceded with a nod, "It's not omnipotent. I'll go with you to visit him." "That's good because if anything life-threatening had happened to him, how would you explain it to his wife and children?" Jing Qiao said.

Song Boyuan wanted to say that he could pay them a lot of money, but remembering what Jing Qiao had just said, he held back.

Jing Qiao sighed softly, "If it were you, put in danger by someone else's instigation no amount of money could make it right, no amount at all." "I understand," Song Boyuan indeed lacked empathy and was significantly poor at relating to others.

But if he thought from Jing Qiao's perspective, it suddenly becmuch clearer to him.

So he added, "I know I was wrong."
