179 To Conceive Soon (1/2)

He had grown used to the taste and the life he now lived.

”Lui, Mom and Dad came by today.” Li Manni started twisting her hands unnaturally.

”They asked about it again?” Chu Lui frowned.

”Yes.” Li Manni nodded. ”They asked if I had conceived, but my period…” Her eyes reddened as she said it. They had been trying very hard, but there was nothing to show on her belly. It had been almost three years, and she had wanted a child so badly to put her mind at ease.

Chu Lui put his pen down and stood up. He walked over to Li Manni and gathered her into his arms, comforting her. ”Don't worry. We can also have a baby after a few more years.” Yet as he was saying this, a look of disappointment flashed past his eyes. Actually, he was also looking forward to having a child. However, he knew that this was something that could not be calculated or forced.

Everything had to come naturally.

Both Li Manni and he were healthy without any illness. They would have a child of their own.

Li Manni nodded, her eyelashes slightly moist. When Chu Lui noticed it, there was something profound in his eyes. He realized that he could not find any resemblance of Xia Yixuan in Li Manni. Instead, it had something of another woman.

”Ruoxin.”

His lips moved, and Li Manni looked up, confused. She asked him weirdly, ”Lui, what did you just say?”

”Nothing.” Chu Lui's face remained calm, and he bent to kiss her lips. He closed his eyes as he was kissing the woman who was his wife, Li Manni. However, he always felt himself kissing another woman.

Li Manni opened her eyes, her eyes filled with bitterness. She heard it clearly, and she had purposely asked the question.
