Ouyang Qian shook her head. "Mom didn't say anything."
After much deliberation, she pulled slightly away from her husband's embrace, raised her bright, sparkling eyes, and mustered the courage to speak frankly, "Ah Chen, we've been married for several years, but we still don't have a child. Will you...?"
"Hmm." Li Hanchen's voice lingered at the end, "What do you want to say, wife?"
Although his tone was calm, Ouyang Qian could sense his unease and immediately fell silent, lowering her eyes to avoid his gaze.
"No, it's nothing."
Li Hanchen sighed and tightened his grip on her shoulder.
"Don't think too much in the future. In my heart, you are more important than the child. Maybe we are not destined to have the child yet."
He finally won her over, how could he let go of her hand just because of the child?
"Is someone gossiping about you?"
"No." Ouyang Qian's reaction was too quick, and she immediately gave herself away.
Ah Chen has been busy with work lately, and he doesn't come home until midnight every day. She doesn't want Ah Chen to be distracted by these things.
Li Hanchen's thoughts were stirred. He had been busy with work these past few days, and the two of them hadn't had any time alone together for a long time.
When he got home late at night, Qianqian was already fast asleep. He had left early during the day and had no time to talk to her.
Although they live under the same roof, they are like strangers.
"Honey, I'm sorry, I've neglected to take care of you lately."
There must be people gossiping in the neighborhood. Qianqian always reports good news and hides bad news.
Ouyang Qian held her husband's hand tightly, not wanting him to blame himself, "Achen, I'm fine."
"By the way, my mom brought over a prescription a couple of days ago, saying it was for conditioning her body."
Li Hanchen frowned. His wife had suffered a lot to get pregnant, and he felt that it was best to let nature take its course. If they were not destined to have children, he would not force it.
"Honey, let's not make things difficult anymore, okay? Every time I see your reaction after taking your medicine, my heart aches."
Over the years, she has taken a lot of medicine, which has caused Qianqian to feel nauseous whenever she smells medicine.
It's easy to imagine that she had to muster up a lot of courage to drink bowl after bowl of medicine each time.
Ouyang Qian pursed her lips, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. She knew Achen felt sorry for her, but she really wanted to have a child.
Every time she sees how adorable An'an and Yuanyuan are, her heart melts.
She has been married for several years but still cannot conceive, which worries her parents. Although they believe in A-Chen, who can predict what will happen in the future?
Looking into her husband's eyes, she raised a finger and said firmly, "Achen, I'll only eat this once, and I'll never eat it again, okay?"
She's giving herself another chance.
"You, I just can't do anything with you." Li Hanchen helplessly grabbed Qianqian's index finger and put it to his lips. "If it's too bitter, we won't eat it."
"itch…"
Ouyang Qian was naturally sensitive, and the man gently kissed her hand.
Hearing his wife's coquettish laughter, Li Hanchen felt a strange sensation in his heart, and his body gradually began to react.
"you…"
Having been married for many years, Ouyang Qian was very clear about her husband's physical reactions.
Before she could back away, her body spun around, and the man leaned over her, their fingers intertwined.
All she could see was Ah Chen's broad chest. Even without any physical contact, she could feel the warmth of the man's body, like hot oil on a hot pan, which made her heart race.
Especially Ah Chen's eyes; upon closer inspection, they are filled with her reflection.
“Ah Chen…”
As soon as she opened her mouth, the man suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips, a forceful and irresistible kiss.
Perhaps because they hadn't been intimate for several days, the man suddenly lost control, his delicate and rapid kisses seeming as if he wanted to devour her lips.
In her panic, she hugged his neck, welcoming his passion and force.
The man kissed her passionately, his breath filling her nostrils, as if trying to soften her heart.
Time passed second by second, but Ouyang Qian was still not used to a long kiss. At this moment, she desperately wanted to breathe and subconsciously pushed the man's chest away with her hands, but she had no strength at all and could only protest with whimpers.
Li Hanchen noticed that his wife's face was flushed, so he moved away a little, but their foreheads were still touching, and their breathing became more and more disordered.
He smiled and said, "Wife, why can't you learn how to breathe properly?"
As Ouyang Qian breathed in the fresh air, she heard A-Chen's teasing and was about to retort when he cupped her face and kissed her again, slowly running his fingers through her hair.
At first, the kisses were just on her lips, but gradually, the man became more and more dissatisfied, moving his attention to her ears, neck, collarbone, and then down... At the same time, his hands became restless, unbuttoning her clothes and invading her territory without her noticing.
As Ouyang Qian retained her last shred of consciousness, she had only one thought: in matters of the heart, she would never be a match for A-Chen.
A warm yellow light remained in the bedroom, reflecting the scenery on the bed.
The night outside the window is sprinkled with stars, making it even more alluring.
It wasn't until late at night that the room gradually returned to calm, and the warm yellow light was turned off at some point.

The next day, as the first rays of sunlight shone in, Ouyang Qian opened her eyes the next second.
Even though she went to bed very late last night, her long-standing habits meant she wouldn't sleep in, especially since this was in the old house.
The only thing left beside her was coolness; she knew Ah Chen had gone out for a morning run.
As soon as she got up, the blanket slipped off, and Ouyang Qian noticed that she was wearing pajamas and that she was clean and refreshed, and that even the sheets had been changed.
Perhaps it's because we haven't been intimate for too long, but we lasted for five hours straight last night, so my body is inevitably a little sore, and the pain is even more noticeable when I walk.
I slowly walked to the bathroom, and as soon as I brushed my teeth, I saw in the mirror that my neck was covered with pink hickeys, and a little lower down was my collarbone, and my chest was covered with dense hickeys.
Hickeys in other locations can be covered by clothing, but how do you deal with hickeys on the neck? You can't wear a scarf in this weather.
Ouyang Qian was troubled for a moment.
"Honey, why are you staring blankly at the mirror?"
Li Hanchen was worried about his wife today, so he ran three laps and came back first, which made his father laugh at him.
However, he teased her back, because the father and son were equally mismatched; the father sometimes doted on the mother like a child.
As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to go upstairs and open the bedroom door. There was no sign of his wife on the bed, so he knew she must be in the bathroom.
But his wife was staring blankly at the mirror, her face displaying a wide range of expressions.
Ouyang Qian saw Ah Chen leisurely leaning against the door through the mirror, and she was immediately furious.
Pointing to the hickeys on her neck, she said helplessly, "This is all your doing. How am I supposed to face my parents now?"
And later that evening, my second brother and his family also came back.
She wouldn't dare show her face in public if she had hickeys.
Normally in the summer, she wouldn't let Ah Chen leave any marks on her neck, but she was probably too engrossed in her love last night and forgot to remind him.
