I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2284 - 1452: Sticky Notes

"Do you prefer boys or girls?"

Houhai Park.

Toward the fading sun, a small group wandered, while the lake sparkled brilliantly.

Among the grown-ups stood out a tiny infant, perhaps one or two months old, nestled in the pram, rosy-cheeked and soft, her long lashes framing eyes like those of a fragile china doll.

Youmao trailed right after the two nannies, clearly fascinated by the child in the stroller, yet the baby ignored everything and nodded off as soon as they left the house.

"As long as they are my own, either is fine."

Cao Jinse replied vaguely.

A fresh mother, just out of her confinement period, grinned and pressed, "Don’t dodge, give a proper answer."

Cao Jinse glanced back at the stroller, sighed softly, then confessed, "Then I’ll be honest."

"Son?"

The woman guessed eagerly.

Cao Jinse gave a faint nod.

"I knew it." The new mom of a girl showed no anger or disappointment; her hair was tied back simply with a cheap band, her baggy postpartum outfit plain and unadorned. She might not match Princess Cao in beauty, settling at average, but a warm, authentic motherly radiance shone from her naturally.

"Having a daughter always makes you worry she might be bullied, having a son is more straightforward."

Cao Jinse breathed out gently as she spoke.

Her friend eyed her with fresh surprise, "Jinse, you really think that way? You’re a girl too—who has ever bullied you?"

Cao Jinse dodged the question, "You’re the one who insisted on asking."

The childhood friend chuckled while they strolled through the park of their youth, her husband and the slumbering baby following close; this was life's true bliss in its purest form.

"Alright, it’s your right to have what you want, whether it’s a son, when the time comes, we can be in-laws."

"Just don’t delay too long, it’s okay for the girl to be a little older, but not too much older, I can only accept around three years."

Cao Jinse couldn’t suppress a laugh, "That’s old-fashioned thinking, nowadays parental authority is not a trend, especially not for our next generation. Do you think by then Tuanzi will still listen to you?"

Tuanzi.

Clearly, the endearing nickname for the peacefully sleeping little one in the stroller, unaware of the adults gathered around her.

"True."

The woman wore a worried expression, then scowled and declared, "If she doesn’t listen to me in the future, I’ll kick her out of the house."

Cao Jinse shook her head smiling, "Come on, I know your personality too well. By then even if Tuanzi falls for Huang Mao, you probably won’t say anything."

"Pah pah pah, you can’t curse your goddaughter like that."

"What’s there to be afraid of?"

Princess Cao’s smile vanished, all pretense gone, her abrupt aura of command far surpassing that of any birth mother.

"Leave it to me when the time comes. You’re the gentle mother, the bad guy can only be me, the godmother. I will definitely break Huang Mao’s legs and make sure he never appears in front of Tuanzi again."

The woman laughed so hard her belly ached, "Thank you, stop teasing me, my incision still hurts."

Cao Jinse steadied her at once, "Are you okay?"

The woman quit laughing and sighed deeply, "Only after truly giving birth, can you understand how hard it is for parents. But you don’t need to worry, your body is much better than mine."

"Want to find a place to rest?"

Cao Jinse inquired caringly.

"No need, I asked you out today just to walk with me. I’ve been lying down for a month, if I rest any more, my bones will really rust."

"Are you considering having a second child?"

Cao Jinse teased, easing their pace as she held her up.

"You’re making fun of me again, but take a look at yourself; I’ve got Tuanzi, but you haven’t even started yet."

Now a mother herself, the woman proved no pushover, swiftly countering the joke.

"Dong Yao, I came out to accompany you, not to listen to your sarcastic comments, or else you and your husband can continue your walk, I’ll leave."

"No, I said the wrong thing alright?"

The woman softened right away.

Cao Jinse smiled, "Bear with the pain, many envy your life now."

"What’s there to envy? Isn’t it the most ordinary life?"

Dusk Park.

Partners and children.

Indeed, the most common happiness.

Yet those in it often overlook it, their vision obscured by fame and wealth.

But Dong Yao surely understood.

Indeed.

Only those above fame remain unblinded by it.

People with it all tend to cherish the simplest joys most.

"See that glow of joy beaming from your face? I can tell—you summoned me here today just to flaunt it all."

"Like I'd need to brag to you. This lifestyle is yours for the taking if you want it. You're Cao Jinse; it's us who ought to be green with envy."

"Sarcasm again?"

"Don't be so overbearing, silencing honest words. Poll anyone—from kid days to present, who hasn't idolized you?"

Cao Jinse flashed a wry, subtle smile, steering away from the subject, "Drop it. Your guy off next week?"

"Yep, Tuanzi's arrival has pushed it back nearly three months already. He was meant to report for duty straight after party school."

In Shen Zhou, the pinnacle of higher learning isn't Huaqing Jing University—those two spots parents hail as Dragon Gates barely scrape into the top two.

Princess Cao's party school claims the undisputed top rank.

Skeptical?

Peek at the principal's identity, and it'll dawn on you.

"You've barely ended confinement, Tuanzi's just one month old—why not let him linger longer by your side?"

Princess Cao stays true to form, tossing out words effortlessly.

A mere commoner skipping even one day of maternity leave could face swift termination.
