While he could still maintain his usual calm, she suddenly felt an infinite sourness and grievance in her heart. Pressing her head to his chest, she said softly: “You don’t let me have others, yet you push me further away – if I don’t seek you out, you never take the initiative to see me. I should ask you, what do you want…”
Xu Wanzhi choked up, finding his voice: “Qu Xiaojue, to me, you were originally just a stranger.”
“You always say such hurtful words…” Qu Xiaojue sighed softly.
One hand quietly climbed up her back. Xu Wanzhi suddenly exerted force to throw her off, but his body suddenly felt heavy. Qu Xiaojue completely ignored this threat and bit his collarbone.
Xu Wanzhi was shocked and angry, immediately placing his hand in the narrow space between them, about to slap her face without thinking.
“Ah Wan, how about I bear a child for you?” With a slight sigh and a sultry tone, these words emerged from his chest. Xu Wanzhi glanced at the head on his chest, and that slap could no longer fall.
“What did you say?” Slowly lowering his hand and pausing for a moment, he asked again in an indescribable tone.
“Let’s have a child,” Qu Xiaojue smiled and said.
Life became quiet again. Xu Wanzhi secretly sighed that this period, by previous standards, was incredibly idle.
If he truly lived like this for a lifetime, he would absolutely become completely lazy, and a robust kind of lazy at that.
At night, Qu Xiaojue again sent the same little servant to invite him to dine. Xu Wanzhi thought about it – after all, the Qu family had been spending money and effort for Shen Kuang’s matter. Therefore, he unusually agreed readily, to thank her.
The evening meal was set in a pavilion not far from his courtyard, clearly considering the day’s heat and seeking coolness. When Xu Wanzhi went out, he could still see the fading sunset’s afterglow. Along the way, everywhere was lit, and the stone path leading to the pavilion was full of lanterns, candlelight brilliant.
“Husband.” Without needing to say who would call these two words in this tone, Qu Xiaojue had arrived first, directly pouring two cups. Seeing him walking slowly from the flickering lights, her eyes slightly narrowed, calling out softly.
