Chapter 161: Conditions

Fang Xiaonuan winked at her husband. What she wanted to say was: “Give birth to a baby? Nothing has happened between the two of us yet. How can we give birth to a baby just by kissing?”

Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows. What he meant was: “Should we give it a try?”

Fang Xiaonuan saw her husband’s reaction and was so scared that she ran away. “Hubby, if you don’t want to go up, I’m leaving.”

She really did not want to listen to everyone urging her to give birth anymore, so she jogged upstairs.

Feng Qi smiled. “Xiaonuan is still too young. She’s shy when it comes to topics like this.”

Then, the family voiced all their thoughts to Ji Lingchen.

“Lingchen, when you go back to the room, tell Xiaonuan that there are many benefits to giving birth early.”

“Lingchen, you’re not young anymore. When your brother was your age, he was already a father.”

“Brother, treat Xiaonuan better and coax her to give birth to a child.”

Only Ji Wen had a different opinion, he said to Ji Lingchen, “Uncle, I was deliberately provoking Fang Xiaonuan just now. Actually, I don’t think it’s appropriate for her to have a child now. Of course, as your nephew, I also hope that you can be a father as soon as possible. But she’s only 20 years old this year. Other people at this age are still treasured children in the eyes of their parents. If she becomes a mother now, people will be gossiping about her at school. They’re already gossiping about her marriage. If she gets pregnant, these discussions will be even louder.”

Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan had known each other for more than ten years. As a good friend to her, this was his advice.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Feng Qi realized that if her daughter was 20 years old, and her in-laws were pestering her to give birth, she would find it unacceptable.

Old Mater Ji also came to his senses. He was just thinking about adding a new member to the Ji family and forgot that his daughter-in-law was still a student.

Ji Lingchen said, “The two of us will discuss this. It’s better to wait for Xiaonuan to graduate and enjoy her freedom for a while. Then we’ll think about having a child.”

After saying that, he stood up and picked up the roses. “I’ll go upstairs first. Everyone, go to bed early.”

Fang Xiaonuan, who was eavesdropping, heard that the discussion in the living room had ended and quickly returned to her bedroom.

Ji Lingchen returned to his room and saw that his wife was sitting on the sofa, reading a book upside down. He said, “Xiaonuan, the book is upside down.”

Fang Xiaonuan took a closer look. Ugh, it really was upside down! She immediately flipped the book over and continued to pretend to read it. In fact, she could not process a single word.

Ji Lingchen did not say anything. Instead, he paced the room, holding the bouquet of roses. After searching for a while, he finally found a suitable container for his roses.

Seeing that her husband had found a bottle, Fang Xiaonuan ran over to help. She was a girl, so she was definitely better at arranging flowers than her husband.

Ji Lingchen saw his wife take the flowers and stood aside to watch. She was fiddling with the flowers and trimming the leaves.

“Did you hear what we said in the living room just now?” Ji Lingchen asked.

Fang Xiaonuan pouted and nodded. “Hubby, are we really going to have a child?” If they wanted to have children, their married life would change.

However, what surprised her was that Ji Wen had always been quarreling with her, but now he was able to stand up for her. She was a little surprised and touched.

Ji Lingchen caressed his wife’s hair and said, “Whether you want to have a child or not, it’s up to you. Xiaowen is right. Getting married while you’re still in school would push you into the eye of the storm. If you have a child now, there will be even more gossip about you.”

After Fang Xiaonuan had arranged the flowers, she opened her arms and threw herself into her husband’s arms.

Ji Lingchen caressed his wife’s hair. She was a clingy kitten, making him want to hug her, caress her, and kiss her.

In her husband’s arms, Fang Xiaonuan finally relaxed and said, “Actually, it’s not that I can’t have children.” She was not afraid of the discussions. She was afraid that her relationship with her husband was not stable enough. If they encountered any marital problems now, it would not be too hard to handle. However, once she had children, if something happened between the husband and wife, the children would have to suffer as well.

Although her life with her husband was very sweet, in the end, their marriage had only just begun. It had not even been a hundred days. In such a short period of time, she had not fully understood the person in front of her.

How many exes did he have? Was his private life chaotic? Did he have any health problems? There were many things she needed to learn.

She needed to at least understand the father of the future child, and not be in a hurry to have a child because of a momentary crush. Although she was young, she had considered all this. The fact that she had relented now indicated that she wanted to have a future with her husband.

Her words piqued Ji Lingchen’s interest, and he asked, “What are your conditions?”
