Xi Lanting was most impatient to hear that the parents in Xi Mansion had their own affairs.
He was bored and sitting on the sofa, waiting for Yun Qiao to come back. He waved to her and asked Yun Qiao to come closer to him.
When Yun Qiao entered, he leaned forward slightly, hugged her over, and let her sit on his lap.
Yun Qiao gave him the roasted chestnuts.
He had no interest in eating or drinking, so he took it and stayed beside her. He just hugged Yun Qiao and talked to her.
"...As long as you don't adopt my son, that's fine." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao immediately asked him: "Uncle Qi, how many children do you want?"
"Don't want any."
"Why?"
"I can't give birth." Xi Lanting said.
Yun Qiao thought of his commotion at night, and everything he should have done. He looked sick, but he was measured and calm, and he couldn't get rid of it easily. How could he not be able to give birth to a child?
She looked down at him.
Xi Lanting also looked down at herself and said in a very nonchalant tone: "I really can't give birth, Yun Qiao."
Yun Qiao: "..."
"I don't like children either. Children are very annoying." Xi Lanting added, "It's just the two of us. If you really like children in the future, go to the welfare hall and adopt one."
The topic has gone too far.
Yun Qiao pulled her back and started talking about Xi Wenjie again.
"Madam wants Wenjie to come back." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting thought of Xi Wencheng who had died in his dungeon, and felt that none of the children of the Xi family should be missing. The ancestor's dungeon had 4,096 vertical coffins. He was not afraid of too many people, but not enough of them.
The Xi family, the Wen family, the Sheng family, the Liu family...
Over the years, the in-laws he has allowed the Xi family to form and the close confidants of the governor have all been personally selected by him. It’s just that these little creatures don’t know their own fate.
Just like Wen Luyao, when she stepped into this courtyard, the underground sundial immediately affected her.
It's not that Xi Lanting doesn't want people from the Xi family to come in, but that they can't come in.
If they stay in this yard for a long time, they will become human beings.
"Come back as soon as you come back." Xi Lanting said lightly, "It doesn't matter if you come back, I still need a lot of people."
Yun Qiao: "Why is there a shortage of people?"
"Just listen and don't ask any questions," he said.
Yun Qiao: "Is the treatment of my girlfriend going back now?"
Xi Lanting kissed her face: "Okay, I apologize to you."
Yun Qiao laughed: "The apology was so casual, and I didn't feel sincerity at all."
Xi Lanting kissed her lips, sucked lightly, and murmured to her: "My sweetheart."
Yun Qiao: "..."
This apology was so substantial that Yun Qiao immediately lost all her anger.
Well, it’s great to have a boyfriend!
Yun Qiao really felt the difference between love and ordinary life - her relationship with Xi Lanting had become extremely close. She used to think that the relationship between the two of them was just ordinary, based on Uncle Qi's pretentious temper.
Unexpectedly, he doted on her, pampered her, even said all kinds of sweet words, and did the most private things for her to make her happy.
He desperately wanted to be nice to Yun Qiao, and Yun Qiao felt it.
She put her arms around Xi Lanting's neck: "Uncle Qi, I don't want children either, I just want you."
Xi Lanting gently stroked her back: "You are so good."
Yun Qiao was elated after receiving such a compliment, which was like praising a puppy.
As long as two people are together, they will be bored to death and don't want to separate.
Yun Qiao had dinner, and when talking to Xi Lanting later, he kept talking and ate half a pack of roasted chestnuts he bought.
Xi Lanting always wanted to laugh but had to hold it back, so he would get distracted from time to time and didn't hear what Yun Qiao muttered.
She is so greedy and so cute.
It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and Yun Qiao sneaked back to the fourth room.
Early the next morning, she went to Du Xueru and Fourth Master Xi's room.
Fourth Master Xi was still wearing pajamas and was startled by her.
Yun Qiao knocked on the door. He thought it was a servant and said casually, "Please come in."
"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you." Yun Qiao lowered her voice to prevent the servants and Xi Wenlan from knowing.
She briefly explained what the Governor's wife meant: "My wife just asked me to be a middleman. You think about it. If you agree, I will tell my wife."
Du Xueru was so excited that she beamed with joy.
Her long-awaited dream is finally coming true. Her dreams have really come true recently.
As for not seeing each other for six years, Du Xueru didn't take it seriously: During the holidays and normal times, why can't we see each other? We are all a family, how could we really not see our children for six years?
Besides, the child will grow up in front of them until the end of the year.
