Sufa paused, surprised by the suddenness of her question, but quickly smiled and asked, "Why does Fengguang ask this question?"
"I just suddenly remembered that we weren't together last night... so I wanted to ask, what if I really am pregnant?" Feng Guang looked shy, as if she really hoped to have a child.
He said, "We will not have children."
"Why?" She quietly gripped the spoon in her hand, knowing his answer would make her incredibly nervous.
“Because…” Su Fa’s eyes glazed over slightly, and finally, his tone was tinged with apology, “Feng Guang, I’m so sorry. Years ago, when I was researching pharmacology, I accidentally ingested a poison, so… I can’t give you a child.”
This answer left Feng Guang stunned for a long time; however, she did not intend to believe it.
His hand gently stroked her cheek, a look of sadness appearing on his handsome face, making one's heart ache even more. "I discussed this matter with Fengguang on our wedding day, but Fengguang has forgotten many things since then. If Fengguang is bothered by this, then we can..."
"Can what?" She looked up, hoping he would say that they could get a divorce.
He laughed and said, "We can adopt children, whether they are boys or girls. As long as Fengguang likes them, I can find them for Fengguang."
These words left her speechless for a long time. She didn't understand why, if he was willing to adopt a child with her, he was so averse to the idea of having a biological child.
Feng Guang couldn't understand it, of course. There's always a difference between biological and non-biological children. Even if something happened to Shenyang... she shouldn't be so heartbroken, right?
Sufa smiled and asked, "If Fengguang likes children, I can go and choose a suitable child for Fengguang right now."
“No need…” Feng Guang shook his head. “I was just mentioning the child casually. I think… it’s fine for just the two of us to live together.”
“Yes, it’s just me and Fengguang, which is quite nice.” Su Fa smiled contentedly.
Despite his glory, his heart was chilled.
They did not stay in the Heavenly Palace for long. After bidding farewell to the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, they returned to the Unnamed Residence.
In the courtyard of Weiming Residence, Fengguang sat on a stone bench under the osmanthus tree. She hadn't touched any of the pastries in front of her, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled from being gripped so tightly. She was still thinking about the pain her mother had tried so hard to suppress when she left, and her father's silent state. She hadn't understood when they first met, but now she understood. They knew.
They knew she was someone Su Fa was keeping close to use, yet the affection in their eyes didn't seem fake. So why would her parents allow her to remain trapped by Su Fa's side? There's only one reason: even the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, the most revered beings in the Three Realms, couldn't defeat Su Fa…
Feng Guang reviewed the original text, which contained very little description of the celestial realm and made no mention of Su Fa... So what exactly was his identity? The so-called "God's-eye view" was now completely useless. Feng Guang racked his brains, trying to figure out how to awaken the system...
"Princess, is it that the pastries don't suit your taste?" Yun Que had been standing behind Feng Guang for a long time. She noticed that Feng Guang would sometimes frown and sometimes look serious, but she wouldn't touch the osmanthus cake that she usually loved to eat, so Yun Que found it strange.
