She was a genius far beyond this era.
"How can you be sure it's a son? Couldn't it be a daughter?"
Caressing her belly, Elysia said proudly, "It's already been nine months. We can tell whether it's a boy or a girl by now. Mobius examined me—it's a boy.
"As for the daughter you wanted~~ she's in Mei's belly."
Xu Qi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned to Mei.
"Really?"
Mei shot Elysia an reproachful glance before patiently explaining, "We were planning to give you a surprise. After all, everyone knows you like daughters."
Xu Qi burst into hearty laughter.
"That Mobius secretly examined you two and didn't even tell me the results."
"What? Would you dislike him if he were a boy?"
"Of course not."
Xu Qi walked over to Elysia, ruffled her hair, and hugged her. "If he's a boy, he'll have to shoulder a little more responsibility.
"After all, he'll be the eldest son of the next generation of the Xu family."
Elysia's gaze softened considerably.

Just as Elysia had said, Xu Qi's son was destined for an extraordinary life. Born in the Golden Courtyard and the eldest son of the Xu family, his fate could never be ordinary.
Mei teased him, "Where did you get all those old-fashioned ideas? He'll have an older sister, won't he? Our Xu Siqi will protect her younger siblings properly in the future."
Elysia froze.

Xu Qi nodded. Then, as if remembering something, he kissed Elysia's cheek and said, "Mei came up with it herself. You silly thing—you only know how to play around all day. You surely never thought about this."
Elysia puffed out her cheeks. She
