243 Lin Zhou: Less Than Thirty Days Lef (2/2)

”Our children?” Yao Ying asked, he felt bewildered with the sudden question.

Yao Ling looked at him in disdain. ”Of course! What? Do you want to have children with another woman?”

Yao Ying laughed and pinched Yao Ling's nose. ”What are you talking about? Of course not! I was just too surprised by the sudden question...”

Yao Ling looked at him in displeasure, ”It's a common question between a married couple. Why are you so surprised?”

Yao Ying mumbled. ”We haven't done the deeds yet... so how could I think that far ah~?”

Even though he said it in a low voice, Yao Ling was still able to hear it. She bit her lower lips and really wanted to laugh out loud. Indeed ah, there was still less than one month to go. She dared to bet that his mind must be full of the consummation of their marriage. Not only him, she also wait for it patiently.

”So...?” Yao Ling asked impatiently.

”Hmmm... at least, two boys and two daughters ah~” Yao Ying answered while imagining the scene vividly in his mind. Yao Ling embraced a baby boy, while Yao Ying was playing with his daughter. There were still two more kids playing around near them. It looked so warm and peaceful. His family... No, to be exact, their family...

Yao Ling was the one who was dumbfounded. ”That many?!” She asked in surprise.

”Of course! I want us to have big family...” Yao Ying laughed jokingly. Then, he seriously added, ”Not only that... I also don't want them to be lonely. If one day I'm not around, you will have them to accompany you to grow old...”

Yao Ling couldn't refute when she heard that reasoning. However, she was feeling unsure about the last part. If one day he wasn't around... what did he mean by that? Would he leave her? She knew that she was being insecure and unreasonable, but she just couldn't get the thoughts away.

”What do you mean you're not around?” Yao Ling asked while hiding her face from Yao Ying. She didn't want to see her slight reddening eyes...

Yao Ying didn't see her expression and he didn't know she was being insecure. Fortunately, he didn't really talk about the time when he would remember his past. He answered, ”I'm just afraid that I'm dead before you...”

Yao Ling halted her insecure thoughts and quickly scolded him, ”What are you talking about?! Pei... pei... pei...[1] We will grow old together! Don't talk this kind of nonsense anymore!”

Yao Ying loved it when she said that they would grow old together. He looked at his wife lovingly, ”En... Together forever.”

When Yao Ling heard his answer, her heart was blooming and she smiled beautifully. It made Yao Ying feel bedazzled. He grinned widely and without a second thought, he kissed her once again.

They spent the day lazily and whispered sweet nothings to each other. Because of his current condition, they would delay their trip for a few days --- until he felt slightly better. Besides, it would take time for Lin Jian to take care of the treasure chests. He needed to tell his father as a back-up plan --- just in case, something happened with those treasure chests when they were away.

They would leave in two or three days...
