Chapter 288 - The First Child Is A Boy
Chapter 288: The First Child Is A Boy
“Okay, my hometown has a technique the chopstick deity uses to predict your firstborn’s gender. My wooden chopsticks are experienced in this. Sister-in-law and you should grab hold of the tails of the chopsticks and align the heads of the chopsticks. That’s right, just like this.”
“Okay, stay that way and do not move.” The man aligned the heads of the two pairs of chopsticks.
“Just remain like this and don’t move. Do not use any strength at all. Boss, I will be addressing you directly by name, okay?”
Mo Jiangye furrowed his eyebrows, his face laced with suspicion.
“Mo Jiangye’s first baby! Sister-in-law and Boss, you both have to repeat this sentence. If the chopsticks begin to move apart on both sides, then your first child will be a boy. If the chopsticks move inwards, that means your first child will be a girl.”
“Damn, what kind of superstition is this?”
“Can we believe something like this?” Xu Xu and the rest of them stared at the chopsticks.
“You can. Trust me, this method is very accurate. Boss, sister-in-law, remember not to move or use any strength at all. Later, the two pairs of chopsticks will begin to move on their own. When that time comes, you both will realize a force is pulling you along.”
“Don’t scare her!” Mo Jiangye said coldly.
“Cough, cough. Alright, let’s begin. Boss, sister-in-law, you both have to call out to your first baby.”
“Is this for real?” Ye Erruo asked with her eyebrows raised.
“You’ll know after calling Boss’s name.”
The corners of Ye Erruo’s lips twitched as they began to try it out.
Suddenly, the four chopsticks began to slowly move apart bit by bit. The shouts around them grew louder.
Ye Erruo’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was too strange. It was exactly like he had said. She was not using an ounce of strength, yet a force was imperceptibly pulling them along.
“Mo Jiangye, you…”
“I am not moving them.” He stared steadily at the chopsticks with a deep gaze.
The four chopsticks had moved so far apart that the heads of both pairs had been separated in the middle.
“That’s right. Boss’s first child will definitely be a boy.”
“Boss, sister-in-law, did either of you move?”
“No, I didn’t move,” Ye Erruo said.
“I didn’t move either,” Mo Jiangye spat.
“F*ck. What kind of theory is this?”
“Supernatural, right?” Xu Xu stared at their boss with wide eyes.
“This is not supernatural.” However, he had no idea how to explain it either.
“Boss, if you and sister-in-law do not believe this, we can try again.”
Mo Jiangye and Ye Erruo aligned their chopsticks once again as silence prevailed.
“Don’t worry, if you two don’t shout, the chopsticks deity will not move.”
Everyone watched in disbelief. No one uttered a word. In the end, there was no movement even when Ye Erruo’s wrist began to feel sore.
“Boss, you and sister-in-law have to call out together so there can be movement.”
Mo Jiangye opened his mouth and spoke faintly. Very soon, the chopsticks began to move slowly as both sides began to get bigger.
“What the f*ck!”
“It’s a ghost.”
“What ghost are you talking about, you blockhead? Where did the ghost come from?” Someone jeered.
Ye Erruo was flabbergasted. This was indeed supernatural.
“Alright, let’s not play anymore.” Mo Jiangye placed the chopsticks on the table. “Regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, it will still be my child.”
“Then what does Boss plan for Little Boss to do in the future?”
Ye Erruo was speechless.
“I think a doctor wouldn’t be so bad. When Little Boss is born, why not leave them in my care to teach them some medical expertise?”
“Tsk! How is being a doctor cooler than being a lawyer? Little Boss should come to my law firm when the time comes. I will definitely shape them into one of the best lawyers.”
“Damn! Why is every single one of you so shameless? Boss hasn’t even spoken yet. If I had to pick, a lawyer or a doctor could never be as dashing as a tycoon!”
