Qi Yongrui looked at the appearance of his wife and his eyes darkened. Though the two of them had never been in the sa room for less than an hour, he still found it hard to believe that Luo Huian was dressed like a vixen.
Nor did he like it. He already knew that the two of them were exceptionally different but never did he think that the differences between the two of them were so severe.
From that excessively beautiful face that resembled a woman who had stepped out of the painting, which might have belonged to the most beautiful enchantress, to the overconfident gait and the air of soone who did not care about anything in this world —
Luo Huian and him —every single thing was different about them.
Qi Yongrui couldn’t even think about living a life this freely and more importantly cared for.
His eyes turned to Luo Qingling who seed to be fretful of the condition in which Luo Huian was at the mont, and his eyes darkened.
When he thought about how his family would be furious with him if he were to get a scratch on his face, not because they cared for him but because they would lose one of their priceless assets.
As for Luo Huian, she could easily be loved and respected by her family. As for him? He could only think of having such a wonderful family in his dreams.
How envious.
’I don’t want to do this,’ he thought to himself. After all, could he really grow close to Luo Huian and stab her in the back when she started getting close to him?
Qi Yongrui didn’t want to do such a disgusting thing either but when he thought about how the life of his brother was in danger — he lowered his head and bit his lips.
He refrained from leaving at the thought of his brother and he looked at his wife. With a slight push of his hands, he stood up on his feet and turned to face Luo Huian. He asked, "Are you saying that I need a reason to et with my wife?"
His voice was exceptionally cold.
Luo Qingling glanced at the r and then turned to look at Luo Huian who was eyeing him with great distaste. She curled her lips and remarked, "Oh yes you do. Maybe if you don’t rember. Which I think you do not given that you really don’t care about , but I don’t rember you."
"So a heads-up would be nice from the next ti."
Qi Yongrui stiffened upon hearing the words of Luo Huian. Indeed how did he forget about such a thing? Luo Huian had forgotten everything.
While it was indeed a stumbling block to his goal, it was also a blessing in disguise as he didn’t need to worry about Luo Huian’s old feelings coming between them and hindering his plans.
"Forgive ," he said to Luo Huian. "I indeed am at fault for coming without telling you or sister Qingling beforehand. But I hope that you do rember that there are certain obligations that we need to fulfil."
"And what’s that?" Luo Huian asked as she walked inside the penthouse and poured herself a generous amount of water into a glass. Now that she had beco a human, she couldn’t go without water for more than two hours, sothing that she didn’t like as it ant that she was relying on sothing.
Being dependent on sothing didn’t co easily to Luo Huian.
"A child," Qi Yongrui had never wanted to sleep with the woman in front of her but with the pressing matters in his hands, he had no other choice. As long as he could sleep with Luo Huian and get her trust, he would definitely fulfil his mission.
For him, nothing was more important than his sick brother who had done everything in his power to protect him despite being the younger one.
This ti it was his chance to protect him.
"COUGH!" Luo Huian let out a frantic coughing fit as she placed the glass on the aisle of the kitchen.
"Huian!?" Luo Qingling yelped as she darted towards Luo Huian who was coughing. "Are you alright? Do you need a doctor?"
"No. Cough ..cough —if there is anyone who needs a doctor, it is him," she tipped her chin at Qi Yongrui angrily. With her hand raised, she wiped the water off her chin and glared at Qi Yongrui even hardly. "What in the world did you an by a child? Where did you even get that ridiculous idea?"
A child? What would happen to her cultivation then? Her virtue was directly related to the speed of her cultivation and she couldn’t do such a thing unless she was at the eighth stage of the Ancient Saint.
This r was joking with her, right?
"A ridiculous idea is it?" Qi Yongrui curled his lips in a cold sneer. "While I do appreciate the fact that you prefer not to involve unnecessary emotions in our marriage the fact remains —that we need to give birth to a child. You and I are bound by a marriage contract after all."
"Which one? Tell I will have it cancelled!"
"The one that we signed at the beginning of our marriage," Qi Yongrui closed his eyes as he undid his cuffs and pulled the sleeves back to reveal his pale, white and slender forearms. "In the past, you were not worthy enough for to share a bed with as it would only result in giving birth to a lazy good for nothing."
"However, now that you have awakened sowhat useful skills… I believe that we can finally consummate our marriage and fulfil our marital obligations. Don’t worry I will not cling onto you even if you impregnate . The only thing I want from you are few nights that will be enough."
He paused and added, "And oh—of course a dical health checkup so that we could determine how many trials we need before I can get pregnant."
