After he finished speaking, Qi Che smiled gently and reached out to lift a strand of hair beside her ear.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Gu Yanran leaned against his chest and put her arms around Qi Che's waist.
"Husband, after this matter is over, let's have a child..."
Qi Che's body stiffened for a moment, then he raised his hand and gently stroked her head, letting out a doting laugh from his throat:
"Okay! It's up to you."
However, where Gu Yanran couldn't see, his fingers slowly slid down her back, and his five fingers slightly closed together, as if he wanted to pinch something, and finally restrained himself and let go.

"You are my legal wife, so you should show your dignity as the mistress of the house and go through the motions. This matter will be over."
Seeing that Gu Yanran still had concerns, "Don't worry, I'll go with you later."
Gu Yanran hesitated again and again, but finally had to bite her lip and nodded in agreement.
"...Okay, Yanran will listen to your husband."
