"The second option? Song Yuanhuan, you really do understand !" Despite feeling like a heavy hamr was pounding in her heart, Xu Xiuxiu's gaze t Song Yuanhuan's with strong defiance, "But you may not know that what I like best is to act out of spite; since you dare to threaten , then I dare to challenge the threat. Moreover, I'm not the sa... Mmph!" Moreover, I'm not the sa Xu Xiuxiu, I don't have so many concerns anymore—that was what Xu Xiuxiu left unsaid, as in that instant she truly wanted to reveal the truth to Song Yuanhuan, only to have her words cut short as her lips were forcefully sealed.
The kiss Song Yuanhuan delivered this ti was tinged with irritation, frantic and rough, to the extent that he seed to be taking out his frustrations, going as far as to fiercely bite through the corner of her mouth. Xu Xiuxiu could only feel her lips starting to numb; a taste of rust spread between their inseparable, tornted mouths, signaling the blood from the bitten corner of her mouth. Song Yuanhuan, seeming to realize this as well, finally eased off, forcing himself to calm down.
"Xiuxiu." Song Yuanhuan, filled with guilt, gently touched the injury on Xu Xiuxiu's mouth with the thumb of his right hand, a hint of remorse flashing in his eyes, his voice sounding almost ingratiating.
"Hiss!" ca the sound of Song Yuanhuan sharply inhaling.
It turned out that Xu Xiuxiu, fueled by anger, had pulled Song Yuanhuan's arm towards her and fiercely bitten down on his wrist, with so much force, such great force!
"Xu Xiuxiu, I'll allow you to continue causing a stir at Sichuan Pavilion, but you must promise to give a daughter," Song Yuanhuan said, enduring the pain from his wrist, his eyes fixed on the black nape of Xu Xiuxiu's neck. He lifted his other hand to gently stroke it, also dialing back the domineering CEO attitude from a mont ago, perhaps realizing that this CEO act could not intimidate Xu Xiuxiu, thus he abruptly softened and planned to enforce a hardline policy.
He believed that nothing couldn't be resolved in bed—if once wasn't enough, then twice, several more tis would surely do the trick. After bearing a child, this rebellious woman would most likely learn to settle down; her restlessness was certainly due to insufficient leverage holding her back.
Upon hearing his words, Xu Xiuxiu embarrassingly released her bite on Song Yuanhuan's wrist, after which she looked down at the circle of faintly bleeding bite marks on his wrist. Then she lifted her gaze, looking bewilderedly at Song Yuanhuan.
Wow! This man's conversational shifts were so rapid, and his changes of attitude too swift, it left her, who was already angry, at a loss for how to continue. Xu Xiuxiu thought to herself as three thick dark lines uncontrollably slid down her forehead; it simply was too much to handle.
"I don't want to deal with you!" Xu Xiuxiu said in frustration, brushing off Song Yuanhuan's arm, clearly agitated by his erratic emotions.
"Fine! Then if you really don't want to have a daughter, how about we have another son, okay?" Song Yuanhuan continued to appease in a soft tone, his face displaying patience as he began to frantically tug at Xu Xiuxiu's cotton nightgown, as if resolved to get down to the business of making a baby right then and there.
That's just unbearable!
With her forehead throbbing violently, Xu Xiuxiu fiercely slapped away Song Yuanhuan's unruly hands, "Get lost!" As far away as possible—essentially, no matter what, you want children? Was that the idea?
"Wife, close down Sichuan Pavilion or give a child; you must choose one," Song Yuanhuan said, grabbing Xu Xiuxiu's hand to force her to make a decision, his tone serious and authoritative, his face taut. Yet Xu Xiuxiu easily read the fear and insecurity in Song Yuanhuan.
She was speechless. Song Yuanhuan was clearly an intelligent man with a charismatic way of handling things on normal days, so why was his emotional intelligence so abysmally low? Having such extre contrasting qualities in one person was awkward yet strangely harmonious, with absolutely no sense of discord.
Xu Xiuxiu, thinking seriously, curled her lips slightly as she looked at Song Yuanhuan for a long ti. "Then let's close down Sichuan Pavilion!" she said, seemingly indifferent, before turning around to climb into bed, preparing to catch up on so sleep. Startled awake from a dream early in the morning, she needed to calm her frazzled heart with a little slumber.
Huh! Close down Sichuan Pavilion just like that? Song Yuanhuan's face froze in astonishnt, filled with surprise.
How could this be so different from the outco he had anticipated? Wasn't Xu Xiuxiu supposed to readily choose to have a child? She was just angered by his threat to close down Sichuan Pavilion, wasn't she? So why was she now the one choosing to close it first? Song Yuanhuan was clearly confused.
"Are you serious about closing it?" Song Yuanhuan asked doubtfully, his eyes filled with a pitifully dumbfounded look as he watched Xu Xiuxiu snuggle into bed.
"Isn't that what you wanted?" Xu Xiuxiu pulled the quilt around herself, then gave him a fierce glare with a roll of her eyes.
"No, wife. If you really can't bear to close Sichuan Pavilion, I won't force you! I'm not that unreasonable man. How about we have another child, wouldn't that be okay? You'd be making just a small sacrifice for , couldn't you?" Song Yuanhuan followed Xu Xiuxiu uncertainly, trying to persuade her.

"Have a child?" Xu Xiuxiu looked at Song Yuanhuan with a proud expression for a long ti.
Song Yuanhuan nodded eagerly, his eyes shining with hope, his hopeful countenance almost comical.
"Having a child isn't like laying an egg; it's not that easy. I think we should forget it and just close Sichuan Pavilion!" said Xu Xiuxiu with a truly thoughtful look, but after a mont's hesitation, she waved her hand briskly, dismissively reversing Song Yuanhuan's thoughts.
Pfft! Song Yuanhuan felt as if he had been dealt a blow to the guts, secretly spitting out a mouthful of blood in his mind. Was this woman purposely teasing him?
"How about this! Let's give Cheng Guang a younger brother or sister, just one more! After that, you can do whatever you like; not just running Sichuan Pavilion, if you want to worship you like a Buddha, I would," Song Yuanhuan pleaded pitifully, resorting to negotiating.
"No," Xu Xiuxiu glared at him fiercely, having no interest in being worshiped like a Buddha.
"Just one more child!" Song Yuanhuan pleaded while shaking Xu Xiuxiu's arm coquettishly.
"Have what? Have another child to beco unregistered? What nonsense are you up to?" Xu Xiuxiu said with an exasperated face, shaking off Song Yuanhuan's arm and moving to the left side of the bed.
This man was simply too shaless, switching from threats to cajoling. His face changed so quickly she just couldn't accept it.
"It won't happen! I'll submit my resignation today; I'm changing careers. If we have an extra child, we'll just pay the fine, ensuring it won't be unregistered," Song Yuanhuan said, as if he had long since considered this idea. He had to have a child with Xu Xiuxiu to keep her tethered, or who knows, she might run off any day.
