Lu Hongze naturally knew Xie Yanzhi was joking.
After laughing, he asked, "Brother Yanzhi, do you have plans for when to get married and when to have kids?"
Xie Yanzhi replied, "My plans are useless. For these things, I definitely have to listen to your sister."
"Then if you want to have kids sooner, you can discuss it with my sister, right?"
"You know Xixi's future career plans. She wants to do research, and when she gets a research project, she'll probably be very busy. Having kids likely won't happen too soon."
"But you can still get married and have kids now. Anyway, with so many people at home, there'd be someone to take care of the child, and Xixi could focus on her projects."
"I haven't thought about it. I bet Xixi hasn't considered it either."
"Then you can discuss it with her."
Xie Yanzhi laughed, "Discuss what? Xixi is only twenty-two. If I suggest having kids and your dad finds out, he'll probably break my legs."
