179: To Conceive Soon

To Conceive Soon

He had grown used to the taste and the life he now lived.0

"Lui, Mom and Dad came by today." Li Manni started twisting her hands unnaturally.

"They asked about it again?" Chu Lui frowned.

"Yes." Li Manni nodded. "They asked if I had conceived, but my period…" Her eyes reddened as she said it. They had been trying very hard, but there was nothing to show on her belly. It had been almost three years, and she had wanted a child so badly to put her mind at ease.

Chu Lui put his pen down and stood up. He walked over to Li Manni and gathered her into his arms, comforting her. "Don't worry. We can also have a baby after a few more years." Yet as he was saying this, a look of disappointment flashed past his eyes. Actually, he was also looking forward to having a child. However, he knew that this was something that could not be calculated or forced.

Everything had to come naturally.

Both Li Manni and he were healthy without any illness. They would have a child of their own.

Li Manni nodded, her eyelashes slightly moist. When Chu Lui noticed it, there was something profound in his eyes. He realized that he could not find any resemblance of Xia Yixuan in Li Manni. Instead, it had something of another woman.

"Ruoxin."

His lips moved, and Li Manni looked up, confused. She asked him weirdly, "Lui, what did you just say?"

"Nothing." Chu Lui's face remained calm, and he bent to kiss her lips. He closed his eyes as he was kissing the woman who was his wife, Li Manni. However, he always felt himself kissing another woman.

Li Manni opened her eyes, her eyes filled with bitterness. She heard it clearly, and she had purposely asked the question.

She hugged Chu Lui's neck. The woman by his side was her. She should try to conceive soon to avoid any changes.

She could never feel at ease, fearing that he would leave her one day.

That's why the only way was to have a child.

Both of them remained entwined, kissing each other in the study. Pieces of their clothing began falling, and soon, the panting sounds from a man and a woman could be heard outside the room.

…

Xia Ruoxin suddenly opened her eyes as she placed her hand on her chest and clutched tightly at her blouse. There was a kind of sharp pain there.

She breathed slowly before releasing her grip and found that her blouse was all crumpled from her hold. She sat up and turned on the night light, looking at her daughter at the first moment.

Unconsciously, she smiled. This little girl had kicked her blanket away again. She pulled the blanket over her daughter's body, worried she might catch a cold. This girl could sometimes be tough to sleep with.

A pair of small feet was placed on her lap, and the tiny hands held onto the corner of the blanket, not allowing anyone to remove it.

Xia Ruoxin reached out and measured her daughter's feet with her hand. They were really small with short and chubby soles. She held her daughter's feet, but the child removed her hand uncomfortably. Her weird temper remained even while she was asleep.

She then turned off the night light. It became pitch black, suitable for sleeping.
