C261 – Try The Best!!!
Upon hearing this, Ann Yichen was so startled that he nearly choked on his juice, coughing violently as he patted his chest in shock.
“What’s the rush?” Ann Yichen responded, puzzled.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
“You’re the one who spooked me with your bizarre remarks,” Ann Yichen retorted sharply to Loong Xiaoyi.
“What did I even say?” Loong Xiaoyi asked, feigning confusion.
“What else? You mentioned having a baby! Are you out of your mind? Without any unique abilities, how am I supposed to conceive for you?”
“Don’t you know anything? If it were possible, wouldn’t I have been pregnant long before now?”
“But how can you be sure without attempting?” Loong Xiaoyi questioned earnestly.
“What? Attempt what? I’ve been with you for five years, big brother.”
I’m tempted to smack him to snap him out of it.
He’s confusing five years with five months! If pregnancy were an option, wouldn’t it have happened by now?
Loong Xiaoyi’s reliance on Ann Yichen made self-deprecation a small price to pay for Ann Yichen’s happiness.
“It definitely must be your issue!” Ann Yichen snapped back, irked.
Despite appearing upset, he was secretly pleased, knowing Loong Xiaoyi always conceded to make him happy.
He might have been a mere child before, but now he has matured, capable of deep affection.
However, Ann Yichen’s mood darkened, pondering over their inability to wed and his continual wait for Loong Xiaoyi.
Suddenly, a thought struck him – if he were pregnant with Loong Xiaoyi’s child, wouldn’t that resolve their issues? The idea of ‘first the child, then the marriage’ seemed less daunting, confident that their family would accept Loong Xiaoyi.
This realization filled Ann Yichen with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement.
He eagerly suggested to Loong Xiaoyi, “Let’s attempt it! If we succeed, our elders will have no grounds for objection. Imagine the joy of presenting them with a grandchild!”
Loong Xiaoyi was momentarily taken aback, having not considered this. He was already committed to proving his worth to Ann Yichen’s family through his career success, ensuring them of his capability to support Ann Yichen regardless of their marital status.
“What are you waiting for!?” Ann Yichen urged. “Let’s try for a baby to solidify our marriage and silence any detractors.”
In that moment, Ann Yichen affectionately kissed me, overwhelming me with his eagerness.
