Chapter 261 - Try The Best!!!
Upon hearing this, Ann Yichen was so startled that he nearly choked on his juice, coughing violently as he patted his chest in shock.
“What's the rush?” Ann Yichen responded, puzzled.
“You're the one who spooked me with your bizarre remarks,” Ann Yichen retorted sharply to Loong Xiaoyi.
“What did I even say?” Loong Xiaoyi asked, feigning confusion.
“What else? You mentioned having a baby! Are you out of your mind? Without any unique abilities, how am I supposed to conceive for you?”
“Don't you know anything? If it were possible, wouldn't I have been pregnant long before now?”
“But how can you be sure without attempting?” Loong Xiaoyi questioned earnestly.
“What? Attempt what? I've been with you for five years, big brother.”
I'm tempted to smack him to snap him out of it.
He's confusing five years with five months! If pregnancy were an option, wouldn't it have happened by now?
Is he delusional, or does he want his offspring to inherit his madness?
Ann Yichen rolled his eyes in response to Loong Xiaoyi's statement.
“Yet, haven't we been careful all along? If I don't attempt in the future, how will I know if I can conceive or not?”
Loong Xiaoyi suggested gently, as though concerned Ann Yichen might actually conceive.
Ann Yichen blushed at Loong Xiaoyi's straightforward words, which were delivered without a hint of hesitation, as natural as eating.
“Don't you desire it? Or are you scared?”
“Who's scared!” Ann Yichen shot back, his embarrassment fueling his anger. Then, softly, he added, “I'm just worried you're setting your hopes too high. I've heard that special traits are often inherited, and I'm unsure if my family has any history of such. What if I can't conceive? Then your hopes would be dashed for nothing.”
“No worries, even if we can't conceive, it's okay. We should still try. Not trying at all would be the real defeat.” Ye Zichen reassured Ann Yichen, patting his head.
Touched by Loong Xiaoyi's kindness, Ann Yichen suddenly felt a strong desire to connect their futures through a child.
“If you're willing to try, then let's. But if it doesn't work out, don't blame me! Perhaps the issue lies with your sperm quality.”
The mention of “sperm” nearly made Loong Xiaoyi burst into laughter, amused by Ann Yichen's choice of words.
“Well, if you indeed can't conceive, then the fault lies with me.”
Loong Xiaoyi's reliance on Ann Yichen made self-deprecation a small price to pay for Ann Yichen's happiness.
“It definitely must be your issue!” Ann Yichen snapped back, irked.
Despite appearing upset, he was secretly pleased, knowing Loong Xiaoyi always conceded to make him happy.
He might have been a mere child before, but now he has matured, capable of deep affection.
However, Ann Yichen's mood darkened, pondering over their inability to wed and his continual wait for Loong Xiaoyi.
Suddenly, a thought struck him: if he were pregnant with Loong Xiaoyi's child, wouldn't that resolve their issues? The idea of ‘first the child, then the marriage' seemed less daunting, confident that their family would accept Loong Xiaoyi.
This realization filled Ann Yichen with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement.
He eagerly suggested to Loong Xiaoyi, “Let's attempt it! If we succeed, our elders will have no grounds for objection. Imagine the joy of presenting them with a grandchild!”
Loong Xiaoyi was momentarily taken aback, having not considered this. He was already committed to proving his worth to Ann Yichen's family through his career success, ensuring them of his capability to support Ann Yichen regardless of their marital status.
“What are you waiting for!?” Ann Yichen urged. “Let's try for a baby to solidify our marriage and silence any detractors.”
In that moment, Ann Yichen affectionately kissed me, overwhelming me with his eagerness.
