Chapter 122 I'm asking you if you want a child

Unexpectedly, that's what her grandmother was talking about. Qin Shuzhi was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Grandma, you're being naughty."

Shi Yuanxing, who had been sitting next to the two ladies chatting, turned the screen of his phone towards him.

"You've just gained a lovely and excellent granddaughter-in-law, and now you want a great-grandchild? Can you spoil her all?"

Madam Shi asked, "Then would you be willing to keep your wife by my side and let me spoil her?"

Without even thinking, Shi Yuanxing said, "That won't do."

As if asserting his ownership, he leaned over and kissed his wife, declaring domineeringly, "She's mine."

Madam Shi gave a disdainful hum, "Look at you."

"The flowers and plants in the back garden are enough for you to take care of. If you worry about anything else, you'll get more wrinkles on your face."

Madam Shi laughed in exasperation, "I'm an old woman already, why would I care about how many wrinkles I have?"

Shi Yuanxing raised an eyebrow. "Then we can't lose to your peers, can we?"

Qin Shuzhi was amused by his words.

She knew he was afraid she would feel awkward facing that question and not know how to answer it, so he deliberately changed the subject with her grandmother.

Looking at the man chatting with his grandmother beside her, Qin Shuzhi's gaze gradually softened.

After ending the call with her grandmother, she gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Hmm?" Shi Yuanxing turned to look at her.

Qin Shuzhi's fingers, which were gripping his sleeve, curled slightly, and she asked softly, "Do you... want it?"

Shi Yuanxing was taken aback at first, not understanding the meaning of her words, but combined with the shyness in her eyes, his eyes lit up with joy. He threw his phone aside and pushed her down onto the sofa.

"think."

Before he could finish speaking, he eagerly kissed her lips.

The sudden commotion made Qin Shuzhi's long eyelashes tremble, and she stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

It took her a while to come to her senses, and she quickly pushed away the man who was anxiously pulling at her clothes.

"You, you've misunderstood."

Qin Shuzhi pushed away his chest, her face flushed and panting, and said, "I'm asking if you want a child."

"I wasn't asking you... about that."

Shi Yuanxing's handsome face stiffened. "???"

"Get up first."

Qin Shuzhi pushed the frozen man to his feet, and then she sat up as well.

Shi Yuanxing made a blunder, and the joy and excitement that had been radiating from his eyes and brows instantly faded.

But when he thought of what she had just said, another kind of light suddenly ignited in his eyes.

He looked at Qin Shuzhi with overjoyed excitement, his voice trembling slightly, "You mean...we can have a child?"

Qin Shuzhi looked into his eyes and nodded, "Mm."

It was only after her grandmother mentioned it that she thought about the child.

Now that their relationship is stable, it's only natural that they would consider having children.

"Honey, are you serious?"

Shi Yuanxing pulled her into his arms, his eyes fixed on her expression, carefully observing her expression. "If it's because of Grandma..."

"It's not because of Grandma."

Qin Shuzhi looked at him with tender eyes, "I just want to know if you want it or not."

Shi Yuanxing's pupils trembled violently, and the arm around her waist tightened involuntarily.

"Yes, of course I want to."

His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Who wouldn't want to have a child with their loved one?

Qin Shuzhi nodded and smiled, "Okay, then we'll take it."

Before Shi Yuanxing could feel any joy, he heard her say, "But not now."

Shi Yuanxing looked at her, his heart, which had been floating on clouds, was suddenly thrown into turmoil. "Then, when was that?"

Qin Shuzhi said earnestly, "After the next semester ends, I'll apply to not be a class teacher anymore. Then we can ask you to take over, okay?"

Being a homeroom teacher requires a lot of energy, so it's not a good time to get pregnant.

When the new semester started in September of this year, she applied to stay in the first year of high school and teach only two classes of core subjects. Getting pregnant at that time would be the best for both the child and the students.

Shi Yuanxing understood what she meant, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to Mrs. Shi."

In other words, he can enjoy his summer vacation to the fullest this year...

They've made a baby.

In the afternoon, the two went to that coffee shop.

After entering, Shi Yuanxing led Qin Shuzhi to sit at the table she had sat at two years ago.

After the coffee was served, Qin Shuzhi glanced around and was surprised to find that they were the only customers in the entire coffee shop.

"Strange, there should be quite a lot of customers at this time, why is there no one here?"

"I booked this whole place yesterday; I originally planned to use it to confess my feelings to you."

But it's not necessary now.

Shi Yuanxing smiled at her and said, "Now, let's just quietly enjoy our date."

On the small stage over there, someone was playing the violin. The music was soft and soothing, and the environment was romantic and serene. Qin Shuzhi felt that it was really nice to enjoy such a quiet date with Mr. Shi on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Suddenly remembering something, she couldn't help but look at the man opposite her, "So, what was your final answer to the question your friend asked?"

"What's the problem?"

"Exactly, if your family wants you to get married after you return to China, will you compromise? If you compromise and get married, will you still have feelings for me?"

Qin Shuzhi looked at him expectantly, "What was your answer back then?"

"I will not compromise on marriage," Shi Yuanxing said firmly.

There was never any compromise in his marriage.

"Actually, he asked me another question at the time."

Qin Shuzhi looked at him curiously, "What's the problem?"

"He asked me if I really had to find that woman and then marry her."

Qin Shuzhi's pupils trembled slightly, and she held her breath as she asked, "Then... what was your answer?"

I said I didn't know.

Qin Shuzhi's expression froze. "...You don't know?"

"I really don't know."

Shi Yuanxing looked at her, recalling the bitter feelings he had back then, and couldn't help but smile helplessly, saying self-deprecatingly, "After all... I didn't even know who you were back then, so how could I have the right to say 'I will marry no one but you'?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi felt a sudden pang of sadness.

"All I know is that I will regret it if I can't reach you."

Hearing the man say this in a low voice, Qin Shuzhi suddenly looked up, only to meet a pair of eyes that were full of affection and laughter.

He added, "But I am very happy now."

Touched by his gaze, Qin Shuzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, I am very happy now."

Meeting the right person at the right time is one of the greatest blessings in life.

Their meeting and being together was a match made in heaven.

This honeymoon was their trip that brought them together.

During this sweet trip, they confirmed their feelings for each other.

What a happy and joyful New Year!
