She was so soft and warm in his arms, pliant and yielding.
So docile.
Lying so obediently in his arms, one would never guess that this delicate, lovely girl could speak words so cruel they cut him to the core.
Xie Jinbai had known few women, but even he was startled by the fickleness of the one in his arms.
He lowered his gaze, swallowing all his thoughts. He wrapped his arms around her and asked impassively, "Are you serious?"
"Of course!" Cui Lingyao nodded earnestly. Before she could even lift her head, she heard him say, "If that's the case, then what's there to worry about with heirs? You give birth, and I will raise them. I will be sure to groom an enlightened ruler for Great Yue."
Cui Lingyao: "..."
She fell silent. Xie Jinbai asked in surprise, "What's wrong? You're not willing?"
'He sounds sarcastic, as if he's implying something.'
Cui Lingyao was at a loss for words. "I'm afraid I won't be able to have children," she said dryly.
