âLu Yinchu, do you think I am attractive?â
This question was strangely out of nowhere. Lu Yinchu turned to glance at her and replied lightly, âYouâre not unattractive!â
Nonsense, and she knew that sheâs not unattractive! But being not unattractive and being attractive arenât the same, right?
âLu Yinchu, do you think if people saw us together, what would they assume our relationship is? A couple? Or, something else?â
âSomething else? What else?â Lu Yinchuâs brow furrowed.
âI meanâ¦â Nanxi pondered, âFor example, a big boss and a young secretary, or something along those linesâ¦â
Lu Yinchuâs large hand quickly caressed her back, and while massaging her hair he said, âGenerally, between the big boss and secretary, thereâs usually a bit flirtationâ¦â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Well, she canât argue with that!
Wait a secondâ¦
âLu Yinchu, you just said something flirtatious between a big boss and a young secretaryâ¦â
âI was referring to a general situation, I am an exception. You are all over my eyes, heart, and mindâ¦â
Having said that, he turned her head towards him and accurately pressed his lips to hers, giving her a deep kiss with all his force!
âUm⦠Lu Yinchu, youâre drivingâ¦â
Nanxi struggled, really scared now. This man, always finding a moment to act like a playboy!
Lu Yinchu straightened up and chuckled, âSee, youâre the only one that drives me this crazy!â
But she really doesnât appreciate this kind of madness, okay? â®(â¯_â°)â
âAnyway, letâs forget about that⦠I wanted to discuss something elseâ¦â
Nanxi told Lu Yinchu about her aunt wanting to arrange a meal with Chen Juncaiâs parents.
Lu Yinchu slightly frowned at her words and didnât respond immediately.
Nanxi was a bit worried, âWhatâs wrong? Is it not possible?â
âNo, it should be fine!!â
âReally?â Nanxi asked, her face full of excitement.
Lu Yinchu nodded, âItâs fine! Just tell me the specific time when it comes, thatâs all!â
âAlright, thank you, Lu Yinchu!â Nanxi couldnât help but wanted to hug him, but considering he was driving, she gave up on the move.
Nanxi had always known that her aunt and grandmother werenât completely comfortable with her marrying Lu Yinchu.
Lu Yinchuâs circumstances were excellent, and he was also ten years older than her, they were always afraid she might lose out in this relationship!
Her auntâs goal in having her and Lu Yinchu to go for this meal, was understood by Nanxi. But her thoughts were different from her auntâs; she didnât need to vindicate herself, she only hoped that Lu Yinchu could integrate into her family, just as she had into his.
So at that moment, Nanxi was truly grateful to Lu Yinchu from the bottom of her heart!
âIf you really want to thank me, just hurry up and give me a little boy or girl!â
Laughing, Lu Yinchu looked over, his eyes twinkling like stars.
That gaze made Nanxiâs heart flutter, and she pursed her lips lightly, âI will try!â
Afterwards, her eyes dimmed a bit. Her monthly period had come, meaning she wasnât pregnant. Her mood dropped slightly, but she was really going to try now!
Have a child for Lu Yinchu, adding another member to the Lu family!
âHmm, letâs strive together!â
Holding her hand tightly, Lu Yinchu added, âNanxi, Iâm already prepared to be a dad. Please, get pregnant soon and let me have a baby who will call me dad!â
Huh?
Nanxi was sandwiched between surprise and confusion!
Prepared to be a⦠dad?!!
It was then that Nanxi realized something. Lu Yinchu had been trying so hard to conceive a child, and she had been willing to get pregnant early and have a baby for him!
But she seemed to have completely bypassed the fact sheâd given birth to Baobao and that Lu Yinchu was now a father. And herself? She was now a young mother!!!
Mother(âoâ)!!!
â¦
Returning home that evening, Nanxi still hadnât come to terms with the term âmotherâ.
It all felt like a dream!
At twenty-two, she felt she was no longer a child, but as a member of society, she definitely was not old enough!
To marry right after graduating from college, moreover, to elope, was completely unexpected. Having a child so soon was something she had contemplated.
She had just wanted to fulfill Lu Yinchuâs and her mother-in-law Xia Zhenâs wishes, carrying out her role dutifully!
But now, she realized things werenât as simple as she had thought. Having a child meant she was a mother and needed to take on the responsibilities that came with it!
My god, Nanxi found this a bit tough!
Being treated so comfortably by Lu Yinchu for so long, sheâd never truly taken on the role of a wife. And now she suddenly had to be a mother!
Nanxi laid on the bed, hearing the splattering water sounds from the bathroom, her thoughts in a jumble!
The glass of milk Lu Yinchu had poured for her earlier was still untouched on the table!
She sat up, took the milk in her hand and sniffed the slight milky fragrance. Unreasonably, she lost her appetite for it!
Putting down the milk, she got up, walked out of the bedroom, poured a glass of water for herself in the living room, and sipped it leisurely!
When Lu Yinchu emerged from the bedroom and didnât see Nanxi, he frowned slightly. After cleaning himself up, he put on a robe, stepped into the living room, and saw Nanxi sitting on the couch, in a daze!
A hand reached out from behind her causing her to startle. As she turned around, she met a pair of shining black eyes belonging to a man. His hair was still wet, giving him an alluring, seductive look!
Nanxi pursed her lips, unsure of what to say. By then, Lu Yinchu had already sat down next to her, taking her into his arms, and asked her, âWhatâs wrong? You didnât drink your milk!â
Nanxi nestled into his chest, her face against his warm skin, she called out, âLu Yinchu~â
âHm?â
âLu Yinchu, Iâm not preparedâ¦â
âPrepared for what?â
âPrepared to⦠be a motherâ¦â
Nanxi, hands wrapped around his neck, tilted her head up to look at him, âLu Yinchu, will you get angry with what I said?â
âNo!â
He lowered his head and gave a peck on her lips. His touch was warm and soft, fascinatingly so, making him yearn for more.
Before he could lose his breath, Lu Yinchu let go of her lips and stroked her face. He reassured her seriously once again, âI wonât get angry!â
Nanxi pursed her lips, âBut you were prepared to be a dad, but Iâm not even ready to be a mother, let alone a wife. Since marrying you, I havenât been a good wife; youâve been looking after me in every aspect, despite your busy and stressful workâ¦â
âIâm willing!â
Lu Yinchu interrupted her, his hold around her tightened, âNanxi, Iâm willing, understand? Everything Iâve been doing, I willingly did it for you. And I donât feel itâs tiresome or worrying, rather, I enjoy it!â
âButâ¦â
âThere are no âbutsâ!â
Lu Yinchu picked Nanxi up, his hand brushing her long hair, his gaze meeting her watery eyes. He continued, âNanxi, there are thousands of couples in this world, and each has its own way of being together. Our way belongs only to us, and it doesnât have to be like others. The so-called âwifeâs dutyâ, doesnât apply in our case, and besidesâ¦â
Lu Yinchu paused briefly and added, âBesides, Iâm the one who didnât give you any time to consider and dragged you into my life. I didnât provide you an opportunity to adjust to being a wife, and now a mother. So, if youâre having trouble adapting, itâs entirely normal. This is my fault, not yours!â
Listening to his words, she couldnât help but think: How great is Lu Yinchu, and how lucky she was to meet him. She was truly lucky, truly blessed!
She couldnât help but feel a twinge in her heart. She leaned in to kiss him on the lips, âLu Yinchu, I really love you!â
He laughed, rubbing her face, âSilly girl, I love you too!â
âI know!â Nanxiâs face turned crimson, her eyes sparkling like the night sky. âI know you love me. Youâve done so many things for me which tell me that you love me. So, you donât need to say it; I know! But Lu Yinchu, I havenât done anything for you, and I donât know what to do. All I can do is to tell you, I love you, Lu Yinchu. The biggest fortune of my life is meeting you!â
