Under the night sky, a couple blissfully kissed, in the quiet of the evening, aside from the sound of a gentle breeze, there were only the intermittent, suggestive noises they made, causing an uncontrollable blush and quickening of the heart.
Ling Chuxia seed to put all her strength into that kiss with Shi Che, and by the end, she felt dizzy, her entire body limp, short of breath, before reluctantly parting from Shi Che’s lips and collapsing weakly into his embrace.
Shi Che held her tightly in front of him, occasionally kissing her hair between gasps for air, yet the corners of his lips were curled into a deep smile.
The air around them seed infected by their atmosphere, thick with the scent of happiness.
After a long embrace, Ling Chuxia slowly ca back to her senses. She moved slightly in Shi Che’s arms, he loosened his hold a bit, and Ling Chuxia looked up; her eyes were a bit swollen, but it did nothing to diminish her beautiful, large eyes. She gazed steadily at him with a hoarse voice, "Shi Che, when did you plan all this?"
Shi Che’s lips curved up slightly, he reached out to touch her face, his own voice a bit hoarse, "I began preparing after we returned to Liang City."
After returning to Liang City... So, during that ti when he had jokingly proposed to her, he had already started planning. And yet, he’d acted as if nothing had happened afterward—she had even worried he might never propose to her again.
Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but smile, but after a short while, her smile faded, and a trace of concern appeared in her eyes as she looked at Shi Che. He noticed her gaze and his brows knitted lightly, "What’s wrong?"
Ling Chuxia glanced at Shi Che, slowly stood up straight, and stepped out of his embrace, her eyes drifting down unconsciously to her ring finger. The ring Shi Che had just slid on was glinting softly with light.
She didn’t want to be a downer at such a mont, but she still felt uneasy. After hesitating, she decided to speak up, "Shi Che, I can’t get pregnant, I’ll never be able to have children in the future, do you... do you really not mind?"
Before Ling Chuxia could finish her sentence, Shi Che’s finger touched her lips, and she instinctively stopped talking.
Shi Che looked at her and pulled her back into his arms, his lips slowly parting to speak, "Chuxia, you not being able to conceive, not being able to have children, that is indeed a pity for . I had thought that one day, we would have adorable children, resembling you or resembling , or perhaps a mixture of both of us. But for , you matter more. Without children, I would only feel regret, but without you, I would have lifelong remorse."
Lifelong remorse...
It wasn’t any grandiose term, but it resonated profoundly when heard, making Ling Chuxia’s nose tingle with the threat of tears. She hurriedly sniffed, but her voice was still husky, "But what about... what about Madam?"
"Madam had a talk with ; she said she wouldn’t oppose our marriage, but she wants to have a child soon, to produce an heir. If, if she finds out I can’t get pregnant... "
Before Ling Chuxia could finish, Shi Che’s finger covered her lips again, silencing her. Then his calm voice rose, "Don’t worry, she won’t find out."
She won’t find out?
Ling Chuxia stared at Shi Che in shock, "Shi Che, what... what do you an by that?"
