I don't know if Ji Rui talked to Baobao, but after the little one's sixth birthday, he never mentioned wanting a brother or sister again.
In Le Tong's heart, there was naturally a sense of guilt. Initially, it was towards Baobao, but as her feelings for Ji Rui gradually warmed up, this guilt would occasionally be directed at Ji Rui as well.
"Ji Rui, if my body remains like this..." One night, after finishing her studies, Le Tong was forced by someone to drink a full bowl of bitter and hard-to-swallow Chinese medicine. She nestled against him and spoke hesitantly.
Ji Rui, holding her shoulder, interrupted her before she could finish, pressing a fingertip to her lips.
"Don't think about unnecessary things. Focusing on getting healthy is the most important thing. You should know, I've never been fond of children. It took me years to finally care a bit for Baobao. One is enough, and I don't want more little imps to bother us."
