Ch.260 Chen Sinan’s Fear (2)

Xin Siyue also tugged the corner of her lips, pretending to be calm. “I understand.”

Chen Sinan watched as she struggled free from his hug and entered the bathroom. He stood in the empty room, not knowing what to do. He looked back to see his precious son in bed. He reached over to pat his soft hair, but he said nothing in the end.

When they ate breakfast the next day, Bai Ning could clearly feel the strange distant feeling between Chen Sinan and Xin Siyue.

They didn’t make any eye contact during the entire breakfast.

Up until they were about to go, Chen Sinan asked Xin Siyue, “Can we go now?”

“Yeah.”

Bai Ning, Xin Jin and Xin Qiancheng looked at each other, having the instinct that something happened.

When Chen Sinan drove the car over, Xin Qiancheng specially followed behind. “You fought with my sister?”

“No.” Chen Sinan answered directly.

“Then what’s going on between you two?”

“Nothing.”

Xin Qiancheng didn’t believe him, so he questioned again.

Seeing that Xin Qiancheng persisted on getting an answer, he replied, “I won’t let her get into any accidents again.”

“What do you mean?” Xin Qiancheng just asked this when he heard Chen Chenan call out loudly, “Daddy, daddy! Why aren’t you ready yet? You’re so slow! Uncle, uncle, are you leaving with us?”

Xin Qiancheng replied, “No, uncle isn’t coming. I’ll visit you when I have time.”

“Okay, Anan will be waiting for uncle.”

“Okay.”

Xin Qiancheng sent them away and as expected, he heard his parents discuss, “What happened between Siyue and Sinan?”

Bai Ning stopped for a while before thinking and guessing, “Could it be about the child?”

“What about the child?” Xin Jin asked.

“I just asked Siyue why she didn’t plan on having another child yesterday. Anan is very cute. It’d be perfect if he gains another sister or brother.”

Xin Jin thought about it before replying, “It’s their business whether to have another child or not. They will make their own decision. Don’t ask them in the future.”

Xin Qiancheng connected everything and seemed to understand why Chen Sinan didn’t want a child. He already went through a terrifying experience when Siyue gave birth to Anan. He was scared, not sure whether they’d be as lucky the next time or if there would be a miracle still.

However, Xin Siyue didn’t understand. Their relationship had cooled a bit and Chen Family’s elders naturally detected it too.

When Weng Yinlin was shopping with her, she brought it up. “Did A-Nan do something bad to you recently?”

“What?” Xin Siyue thought about it and replied, “No.”

“Then what happened between the two of you guys?”

“Mother, I have been wanting another child, but he refuses.”

Ever since Xin Siyue returned from Xin Family, she had shamelessly worn sexy outfits and gotten intimate with Chen Sinan a few times. However, he didn’t forget to take the safety precautions before the last step.

Xin Siyue felt incredibly defeated. In the end, she didn’t even bother to cooperate with him.

Chen Sinan was quite straightforward. He just purely hugged her to sleep.

Xin Siyue never questioned their relationship, but where did this invisible distancing come from?

Weng Yinlin thought about it before testing the waters. “A-Nan got acquainted with another woman outside?”

Xin Siyue smiled and said, “Mother, I’m not worried about this. I’m sure that he’ll naturally talk to me about it if he finds another woman he likes. Plus, he’s not a man like that.”

Weng Yinlin didn’t know whether to be glad or what. It was a good thing the two trusted in their relationship, but regarding the child…

“He actually mentioned this to us before.” Weng Yinlin pondered over it before deciding to tell her.

“Mother…”

“As his mother, I saw clearly how he definitely would’ve gone crazy if you hadn’t woken up after you gave birth to Anan, especially after you slept for such a long time. Thankfully, you woke up later on.” Weng Yinlin said meaningfully, “When Anan turned two, I talked to him about having another child. He told me that he just wants Anan because he was scared of the same thing happening twice. The risk is too big. He is actually very afraid of that happening again.”

The risk is too big and he is actually very afraid of that happening again.

Xin Siyue felt sour and bitter in her heart when she heard this.

It wasn’t that he didn’t love children, but that he was too scared to gamble. It was too risky to him.

Chen Sinan was scared of the same thing happening. He lost her once already, so he was unwilling to lose her again.

Even if he only has Anan, life has been good to him.

Xin Siyue thought that she was too selfish and forgot how badly she had hurt him by leaving last time.

Chen Sinan was afraid of a repeat of the same events. If he had to experience losing her again, he’d rather not have a second child.
