639 Trap (2/2)

She gnashed her teeth and threw the pillow at his face which he avoided easily. ”Is this something to joke about?!” She exclaimed.

”You started it,” he replied calmly and came to sit beside her.

”But this is all your fault!” she still stubbornly put the blame on him.

Shaking his head he muttered, ”Pot calling the kettle black.”

”What did you say?”

”Nothing at all.”

”I heard you.”

”Then why are you even asking what I said?”

He looked at the side of her face carefully before voicing out, ”I know this is not something we both expected but we can't do anything about it now.”

”I know that,” she replied.

”If you know that then what's the problem?” he asked patiently. With her as his wife, he had to have patience because dealing with her was not as easy as it seemed. Although she was very easy-going, only he knew how difficult she'd become at times. And let's not forget her temper that was completely beyond anyone's understanding.

”The problem is that...” she sighed helplessly, ”I didn't want to lose my freedom so soon.”

His lips twitched at her reply as he said, ”You really make me question your sanity.”

”It's good that I have no questions about your sanity because I know it doesn't even exist. Hehe...” Seeing how silent he was in reply, she didn't feel like joking. She slid closer to him and held his arm saying, ”Zi, what are we gonna do?”

He shrugged his shoulders, ”Nothing. We are just gonna be parents. What else?”

She scratched her ear before saying, ”But my freedom...”

Her pitiful eyes made him soften up as he patted her head and said, ”You'd still be as free as you're now.”

Her eyes brightened as she asked, ”Then my only job is giving birth, right? Because you'd be raising the kid, right?”

Xin Zimen squinted his eyes at her. ”You just wanted to trap me. Didn't you?” As she grinned in reply, he was left helplessly sighing at her. ”I can't believe I always end up saying exactly what you want to hear.”

”That's also a talent. You can't have that talent.”

”I don't want it either.”

At that time, they both really didn't take the news as casually as Xiu was doing. But they both were trying to be each other's support so neither of them showed it. It was different for Xiu who was all on her own and acted so maturely. The more he saw this side of hers, the more he found her admirable.
