She glared at the man with displeasure in her clear eyes, and a blush of shyness crept onto her fair face, instantly transforming her into a delicate and beautiful flower bud.

Fu Huaijin gently touched her cheek with his large, warm hand. Remembering the old lady's last words, he hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Do you like children?"

The question came so abruptly that Su Yuxi was stunned for a few seconds. As if recalling what the old lady had said, she slowly frowned.

She had never thought about whether she wanted a child, but when the topic came up, she did imagine it in her mind.

If there is one... of course I'd like it!

The little fox is fluffy and soft, so cute, how could anyone not like it?

As she thought about it, it was as if she could already see the little fox, and a gentle smile unconsciously crept onto her lips: "Mmm."

"like."

"I will only have one litter in the future." She thought of Xiao Hua next door, who gave birth to ten in one litter. There were too many for her to take care of. Moreover, pregnancy seemed to be very hard. She would lose her appetite and sleep, and she would become ugly and her fur would become dull and lifeless. It was a bit scary, but the little foxes that were born were really cute.

Then having two children shouldn't be too difficult for her.

Looking at her expectant eyes, Fu Huaijin's gaze darkened slightly, and his tone carried an almost imperceptible melancholy: "But I don't like children."

Su Yuxi's smile faded, and the smile on her lips gradually disappeared: "If you don't like it, you don't like it. I didn't force you to like it."

This man is so strange. He doesn't like it, but does he want to control others so they don't like it?

Fu Huaijin narrowed his eyes, as if he understood the meaning behind her words, and gently stroked her fingers.

He didn't know whether he should tell her or not.

His body has been injected with countless drugs, which has long blocked the path to reproduction. Moreover, given his current condition, there is no way he would allow this gene to be passed on.

The reason I didn't refuse the old lady was that I didn't want her to worry about these things anymore.

I don't even know how much longer I have to live.

She loved children so much, she might find someone else after she dies...

no.

The thought of that scene made his heart clench and he felt very uncomfortable.

“If you really like children, we can adopt one from among our relatives, or we can take one from an orphanage.”

Su Yuxi shook her head and refused: "If I'm going to raise a child, it'll be my own. Why would I need someone else's?"

You can't tame someone else's child.

She used to have a pet rabbit, and she fed it well, but the rabbit's mother would always run away as soon as she arrived.

Fu Huaijin tightened his grip on her waist, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

After thinking for a while, he mustered up his courage and asked directly, "If I am infertile, are you going to find someone else to have a child with?"

Su Yuxi choked, her gaze meeting his deep, enigmatic eyes, and instantly understood his meaning.

But she was talking about her own child, not his. She said she was going back in two years, so how could she have his child?

If I were to refute him, this man would probably turn on me.

Su Yuxi avoided eye contact, not wanting to continue the topic: "Let's talk about this later."

Fu Huaijin pursed his lips, though he had a thousand words to say, he didn't know how to say them.

Oh well... it's his fate.

Perhaps the topic was too heavy, because the two remained silent after the conversation.

Su Yuxi stared blankly at the receding night view outside the window. Actually, Fu Huaijin was quite pitiful. He was born into a wealthy family, and according to the normal life trajectory, he should have had a smooth life and lived to be a hundred years old.

But he just happened to have such a mother.

She was plotted against by her mother from a young age and suffered endless torment. She didn't even know how long she would live, and in the end, she couldn't even leave behind any offspring.

He's wasted his life.

Well, not really. If we could cure him, wouldn't he be able to live to be a hundred?

I still need to keep earning enough money so I can see Ah Zu again.

The two returned to the villa at nine o'clock.

Su Yuxi was determined to pull him out of that swamp of despair, so she didn't pay much attention to his low spirits and was busy sorting out all the jewelry she had brought back.

It has to be said that these uncles and aunts were really generous; each item was more valuable than what Lu Yunzhou had given her.

Even though it wasn't a gift from a man, if I sneak a little in, Ah Zu probably won't notice.

After taking stock of everything and arranging all the jewelry properly, she happily went to take a nice bath.

When she came out of the bathroom, Fu Huaijin had already finished showering in the other bathroom.

He's become more carefree now; he doesn't even wear pajamas when he comes out, just wraps himself in a bath towel.

Su Yuxi's gaze swept over him quickly from head to toe, and the scene from that night reappeared. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her head away. Her clear voice carried a hint of reproach and shyness: "You ran out without even putting your clothes on properly. Don't you know how shameful you are?"

"outrageous."

Fu Huaijin looked down at his own firm and well-defined eight-pack abs. He vaguely remembered that someone had liked him a lot that night when he was half asleep. What? Now he's starting to dislike him?

He looked at Su Yuxi's evasive eyes, her expression of wanting to look but trying her best to restrain herself, and a smile appeared on his lips. A little thought of teasing her arose in his heart.

He turned and went to the wardrobe, picked out an outfit, and placed it in her hands. His eyes flashed with a strange light, and his voice was deep and husky, carrying a hint of tenderness and expectation: "Hmm, don't you like to look? If you don't like to look, then help me get dressed."

He bent down, leaned close to her ear, and said in a gentle, tender voice, "Otherwise, if I wear this all night and something happens by accident, I won't be responsible."

Su Yuxi was shocked by his shameless remarks and turned around abruptly, just in time to see him slide his sexy Adam's apple twice.

Her face turned even redder.

Seeing her shy expression, Fu Huaijin couldn't help but kiss the corner of her mouth, then picked her up and threw her onto the bed.

Before she could get up, the man pounced on her and lowered his head to kiss her earlobe...

Su Yuxi screamed and struggled to run away.

Fu Huaijin hugged her tightly: "Don't dodge, I won't touch you if you don't agree."

He wouldn't have touched her if she hadn't said she was ready last time.

Su Yuxi recalled what she had said that night and had been wondering why her charm had failed.

She also secretly experimented on other people, and there were no problems at all.

But as for this man...

Su Yuxi took a deep breath, calmed herself down, cleared her throat twice, placed her hands on his neck, and met his deep and unfathomable eyes with her bright gaze, wanting to use the same trick again and unleash her most powerful charm.

She refused to believe that anyone in the world could withstand the fox spirit's secret arts.

In addition, she discovered that her skills had improved in the past few days, making her more than capable of dealing with an ordinary man.
