Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 2048 - 474: Trying Everything to Have a Child

In the bathroom, steam lingered in the air.Originally it was a scene of ambiguity, but because of Qin Mu’s words, the atmosphere completely froze over.

Mu Wan’s small hand clenched into a fist, a trace of a smile squeezed out at the corners of her mouth, her eyes moved slightly,

wanting to smile, but the expression on her face was even uglier than crying.

"Qin Mu, we’re not kids anymore..."

What about our world...

It’s not that Mu Wan doesn’t want it, young and naturally thinking about being stuck together day and night.

It’s just that now the parents are urging, everyone’s pressure is so great, and the old man’s age is also a factor.

Although I want to be willful...

But at times when filial piety is needed, there must be some expressions.

In short... we can’t be so free and undisciplined.

After all, Qin Mu and I are still young, but the old man is growing older day by day.

When Mu Wan said this, she also felt she might have been a bit heavy with her words, took a deep breath, and continued: "Qin Mu, I know you’re not in a hurry and want to enjoy our world, but Grandpa is anxious, he’s at an advanced age now, and looking at his expectant eyes, can you bear to refuse? And you know, Grandpa’s heart condition has started to recur these days, he’s only felt better because Mr. Gu and Ranran’s wedding made him happy, so he hasn’t paid it any mind, but when you spoke to him just now, it must have hurt him inside."

Qin Mu: "..."

Hearing Mu Wan’s words, Qin Mu pursed his lips, a shade of melancholy flitted through his dark eyes.

Words could not express it...

After a long while, Qin Mu slowly raised his hand, resting it on Mu Wan’s shoulders, and spoke with feigned casualness:

"Xiaowan, why are you so serious, hmm? That’s not like you, my little wife..."

Qin Mu’s grip tightened on Mu Wan’s shoulders, as if he feared she would leave him at any moment.

Mu Wan: "..."

Little wife...

The man’s carefree words, which once seemed enchanting, now seemed to Mu Wan like evading responsibility and lacking filial piety.

Mu Wan forced a smile, leaned over to turn off the bathtub water, then looked up at the man before her, speaking in a hoarse voice: "Alright... since you say I’m being serious, let me seriously ask you, right now... I want to have a child, are you willing?"

Qin Mu: "..."

When a woman tells a man she wants to have a child,

there’s no greater trust she could place in him.

It’s even more a dependency, a layer of love that defies description...

A trace of bitterness flashed through Qin Mu’s dark eyes. He slowly pulled the woman in front of him into his arms.

Mu Wan was moved by the man’s thoughtful gesture, her lips drawing into a smile, expectantly asking: "So, does this mean you agree?"

Mu Wan continued expectantly: "Actually, turning our two-person household into a family of three isn’t bad at all. Seeing how cute Little Cubao is, I often think, if we had a Little Wanzi, would it be as cute, just like Tang Bao..."

"Plus, Grandpa loves kids so much, Mom and Dad too... Qin Jin and Qin Song are older, they could take care of their little sister, our Little Wanzi..."

Mu Wan couldn’t help but get carried away with words as she envisioned their future life.

"My mom loves kids too. She’s healthier now and often says she’d help us take care of the child..."

"Ranran and Mr. Gu would certainly be happy, Cubao and Tang Bao too, they’d finally have a little playmate."

Qin Mu: "..."

He couldn’t bear to shatter the woman’s fantasy, but now... it had to be done.

Qin Mu, his dark eyes slightly closed, inhaled the faint scent of the woman, and said hoarsely: "I’m sorry... I can agree to anything else, but not this... I feel that just the two of us is perfect. If you really like children, there’s Tang Bao and Cubao... even Qin Jin and Qin Song, there are plenty of kids at home, no need for us to have another."

Mu Wan: "..."

The man’s resolute, cold words resonated in her ears, each sentence piercing her heart like a sharp knife.

Mu Wan was somewhat stiff, unable to recover for a long time.

Finally, she could only slowly say: "You... are you serious?"

"Mm..."

Mu Wan: "..."

Isn’t it said that when a man loves a woman, he wants to have a child with her?

Why is it different for me?
