Chapter 281 We don't want children anymore! I can't bear to see you suffer any more!

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's incessant muttering, Meng Yanzhi smiled slightly and said helplessly, "I just came out for some fresh air. Why are you so nervous? Don't worry, I'm fine. I don't feel any pain at all."

Seeing that Meng Yanzhi was indeed alright, Xiao Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He then gently rocked the child and said with a smile, "Aman is growing up so fast, getting prettier every day!"

Meng Yanzhi leaned forward, and two faces, one large and one small, were placed in front of Xiao Xingyuan, looking exactly alike.

The more Meng Yanzhi acted this way, the more Xiao Xingyuan liked her. He kissed her on the cheek, his breathing becoming heavy.

The two had been so loving before, and Meng Yanzhi understood what Xiao Xingyuan was thinking almost immediately, and knew that he had fallen in love!

Meng Yanzhi hurriedly took a step back, widening the distance between them, her face flushed: "No, not now!"

Xiao Xingyuan had only acted impulsively, but he never expected Meng Yanzhi to react so quickly.

He was taken aback for a moment, then frowned at Meng Yanzhi, both amused and exasperated: "That's not what I meant, you... you're overthinking it."

"You really didn't mean that?"

Meng Yanzhi leaned forward and looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a face full of curiosity.

After giving birth, she became much rounder than before, and now her fair and tender appearance looks just like a delicious peach.

It would be a lie to say he felt nothing at all, but Xiao Xingyuan knew very well that he couldn't have any thoughts at this moment, otherwise he would be worse than a beast.

No, absolutely not.

When Xiao Xingyuan said this, he almost subconsciously swallowed, and the way he looked at Meng Yanzhi was as if he wanted to eat her meat.

Seeing his expression, Meng Yanzhi thought for a moment and said sullenly, "Do you think I'm too fat, so you've lost interest in me and don't like me anymore?"

As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi's tears were about to fall; anyone who didn't know better would think she had suffered a great injustice.

Before Xiao Xingyuan could speak, Ling Xiao strode in. Seeing the two of them pressed together, he showed no embarrassment, only nervousness. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Xingyuan's arm, and pulled him away.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Let me tell you, these are special times, you can't do anything reckless, understand?"

"If you do something reckless, the damage to her will be permanent!"

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and frowned as he looked at Xiao Xingyuan.

Xiao Xingyuan was now in a truly hopeless situation, unable to clear his name no matter what. He felt helpless, his face flushed, and then he said directly, "Stop talking nonsense, I didn't do it, I just went over to check on the child!"

"You know in your heart whether you should look after the child or the child's mother."

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Xiao Xingyuan. The two had grown up together since childhood, so how could Ling Xiao not know what Xiao Xingyuan was up to?

Turning around, Ling Xiao looked at Meng Yanzhi, who was calmly coaxing the child, and went straight over to take her pulse.

"Although childbirth is somewhat dangerous, you have been taking good care of yourself after giving birth, so don't worry, your body is recovering very well and you will be able to have another child soon."

"I don't want children anymore."

Xiao Xingyuan stepped forward and interrupted the two of them.

Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with some surprise and confusion: "What's wrong? Why don't you want children anymore?"

“It’s so hard to carry a child, and childbirth is like going through hell. I can’t bear to let you go through that kind of danger and pain again.”

"Rouge, originally I shouldn't have had a child in my life. It's because of you, all because of you, that I have my own flesh and blood. So I am already extremely grateful. From now on, the three of us will be the best."

Xiao Xingyuan chuckled softly, put his arm around Meng Yanzhi's shoulder, and kissed her.

Meng Yanzhi never expected that Xiao Xingyuan would think this way.

She smiled gently and looked up at Xiao Xingyuan: "A-Yuan, you are so good to me."

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, Ling Xiao was speechless.

"The people from Canglan Kingdom will arrive in half a month. Do you still have the mind to linger here?"

"Do you know that this time, not only the Crown Prince of Canglan Kingdom but also a princess have come, supposedly for a marriage alliance? You said you don't have any other sons, only the Crown Prince. Are you really going to let the Crown Prince marry into this alliance?"

Ling Xiao sighed helplessly and rubbed his temples in frustration.

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Xingyuan and Meng Yanzhi were dumbfounded.

Especially Meng Yanzhi.

Her expression immediately changed, and she said unhappily, "What qualifications does the princess of Canglan Kingdom have to be the Crown Princess of our Great Gan? Does she mean that she will be given the position of Empress in the future? This is simply absurd!"

Xiao Xingyuan smiled gently and then said calmly, "I know what I'm doing. Don't be angry or worried right now. You should take good care of yourself. You'll be helping me entertain the foreign envoys later!"

Meng Yanzhi suddenly realized something and looked at Ling Xiao with a face full of curiosity: "Are all the civil and military officials still kneeling?"

"A bunch of old folks with frail bones, how could they possibly handle this? This matter is temporarily over now, after all, the affairs of the Canglan Kingdom are the most important thing!"

Xiao Xingyuan said this with a hint of unspeakable pride.

He had planned it all out, so he arranged it this way on purpose. Anyway, there were more important things to do, so they couldn't bother with this unimportant matter.

Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's smug look, Meng Yanzhi knew that he must have planned this out a long time ago.

Soon, Aunt Chen's invitation arrived, and after thinking for a moment, Meng Yanzhi summoned her alone.

Aunt Chen didn't come alone this time; she brought her child with her.

Meng Annian is now over a year old and can run all over the place when put on the ground.

Watching Meng Annian running around, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but smile softly. She bent down, patted the child's head, and said with a grin, "Sister, call me sister!"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's decision on the Meng family has been made. The master has been exiled three thousand miles away to do hard labor."

"Your Majesty, for the sake of our blood ties, I beg you, please help the master! He's getting old and can't take it anymore!"

"If the master is gone, what will happen to the child? Nian'er is your own brother!"

Aunt Chen knelt on the ground, looking pitifully at Meng Yanzhi.

Looking at her stubborn expression, Meng Yanzhi coldly said, "Since that's the case, then you can come with me."
