Chu Xi's expression grew serious.
Zhou Yiran took hold of his hand, soothingly saying, "Husband, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. You know how much I want a child. Maybe I've really become obsessed now. Just pretend I'm crazy and indulge me this one time. Let's go back and ask properly. If there really isn't anything wrong, then we can assume I was mistaken, and I'll personally apologize to mom and dad, alright?"
With that said, Chu Xi's anger dissolved completely.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you really want to ask?"
Zhou Yiran nodded seriously, "Mm."
Chu Xi gripped his palm, pondered for a moment, and said, "Fine, I'll go back and ask, but this is the only time. You're my wife, and I don't want to argue with you, but I also can't keep putting my parents in such a tough position. You need to understand that, Yiran."
Zhou Yiran nodded, "I understand all that. Don't worry, just this once. I absolutely won't bring it up again."
