Chapter 707: Chapter 709: Wife, We Have a Child Now
When children were mentioned, Chu Lian’s words finally took effect, and Wang Xiangxiang’s crying gradually lessened, eventually stopping altogether.
All Chu Lian’s eyes showed was sympathy as he wiped her tears while saying, "My lady, you’ve nearly cried yourself dry, you must not cry like this again."
Seeing Chu Lian treat her this way, Wang Xiangxiang lifted her head, smiling at him with a face full of joy, thinking to herself that with a husband like this, what more could she ask for?
Chu Lian felt goosebumps from being stared at. He sensed something was off with Xiangxiang, and sure enough, she soon began to shake with laughter, eventually succumbing to her amusement and bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
This scared Chu Lian terribly. Xiangxiang had just been crying so hard, and now she was laughing so strangely—what on earth was going on?
He began calling to her, hoping she would return to normal, "My lady, my lady."
As he grew increasingly anxious because of the situation, suddenly Xiangxiang lunged towards him, almost knocking him over. She hugged him tightly, excitedly saying, "Husband, why didn’t you tell me earlier? You almost killed me!"
"..." At that moment, Chu Lian was utterly dumbfounded, not understanding what Xiangxiang was talking about, completely at a loss for words.
Then he heard Xiangxiang continue, "I thought Han Yongsheng had taken my innocence, so I didn’t want to live anymore. If I had known it was you, why would I have thought of dying? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"
"What are you talking about?" Chu Lian was shocked by Wang Xiangxiang’s words. He quickly pulled her away from his embrace and looked into her eyes, realizing it was his own silence that had caused her suffering. He had thought she knew it was him and that was why she had chosen to end her life.
Wang Xiangxiang also looked deeply into Chu Lian’s eyes, her face radiant with happiness. She took Chu Lian’s hand and placed it on her stomach, "Husband, you were right, the child is yours. I always thought the man that night was Han Yongsheng, which is why I mistakenly believed the child was his."
Hearing such words, Chu Lian was ecstatic. He pulled Wang Xiangxiang into his arms, smiling like a child, babbling incoherently, "Haha, my lady, we’re having a baby, our very own baby, my lady, you are mine, still mine."
In fact, he wasn’t generous at all. Knowing the child was Han Yongsheng’s had been a huge blow. But for Xiangxiang to stay by his side, he had chosen to bear it. Now, all’s well; Xiangxiang was still his, and the child too.
"It’s all your fault I’ve been so miserable for so long."
"Yes, yes, yes, it’s all my fault, you can hit me."
"Who wants to hit you?"
"If you aren’t hitting me, let’s go to sleep."
"I’m not sleeping with you."
"If you’re not sleeping with me, who will you sleep with?"
"..."
"..."
The two of them lay down in each other’s arms, bantering back and forth, each feeling incredibly sweet inside. They embraced each other tightly.
"So you’re saying you liked me back then?"
"Who liked you!"
"You did."
"Oh, stop moving."
"I’m just feeling our son."
"Who said it was a son?"
"I planted the seed, so of course I know."
"What will you do if it’s a daughter?"
"I’ll dote on her, just like I dote on you."
"Shut up, you don’t dote on me."
"..."
"..."
Unknowingly, the two of them reverted to their usual way of interacting, teasing and arguing with each other, but even their arguments were filled with love, something quite enviable. Eventually, unable to fight off their sleepiness, they fell asleep in each other’s arms.
