The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 197: Two Babies in Three Years

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes were lost as he subconsciously asked.

"Have a child?"

"Yes."

Mingzhu nodded, the confusion in her eyes completely gone, clearly having made up her mind.

"Let’s have a child."

Have a child, so their family can live well and no longer be concerned with the comings and goings of the outside world.

For the sake of the child, any normal person shouldn’t do something that would leave the child without a mother...

Mingzhu didn’t understand the temper of that person in the palace.

But she was truly frightened.

Every time she met with the new emperor, there was a third person present.

And his behavior was very normal.

Even after racking her brains, Mingzhu couldn’t figure out when the other party started having such thoughts.

Although the new emperor didn’t continue to trouble her that day, he kept his promise and released Xie Yunzhen.

But she didn’t dare to be careless, pretending she hadn’t heard those words.

After all, some truths are spoken in jest.

Having a child with Xie Yunzhen and living a good life was the best way Mingzhu could think of to avoid that person.

The imperial harem has three thousand beauties, he must be driven by a mere whim now.

Delay it for a while, and this matter should pass...

Xie Yunzhen propped himself up on his elbows, slightly raising his body to closely observe Mingzhu’s expression.

In his eyes, there was scrutiny, but there was also a surge of desire.

Mingzhu was already burning up, and being stared at like that made her face turn even more charmingly red.

She reached out to pull the quilt, but the man held her down.

Mingzhu forced a calm demeanor, "What are you looking at?"

"Why do you suddenly want a child?"

Having had a difficult childbirth experience, she was clearly always against having children.

And privately, they’ve never mentioned this matter before.

"Did someone in the family pressure you?"

Mingzhu couldn’t tell the truth.

In her nervousness, her body tensed up.

Biting her lip, "No one pressured me, I’m just afraid that something might happen to you again. Having a child would be another bond, and in the future, you’d be more restrained in your actions."

This wasn’t exactly a lie.

Xie Yunzhen acts with a fierce intensity. Without any restraint, he would only become more reckless.

Mingzhu wrapped her slender leg around his strong, lean waist, her delicate hand brushing past the man’s deep brow and eyes.

"Don’t you want a child from me?"

A child she bore, with features just like hers, carrying her shadow, blending both their bloodlines.

Of course Xie Yunzhen wanted it!

But compared to Mingzhu, the child was of no significance.

If she was afraid of childbirth or didn’t want to have one, he wouldn’t want heirs his entire life!

"You’d be afraid."

As he spoke, his voice was deathly deep.

Childbirth was like crossing the Ghost Gate, and Mingzhu was scared.

"I think a child would be nice, when you’re not home, he could accompany me to eat, to stroll in the gardens..."

Xie Yunzhen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He didn’t know what to say.

Should he outright refuse?

The truth is, he wanted any child Mingzhu bore.

To refuse would seem insincere.

But to agree... he wasn’t prepared to be a father.

In a past life, their son died in his arms.

Not to mention, if Mingzhu was afraid of childbirth, even he, who didn’t need to personally bear the child, felt terrified.

That kind of experience, he didn’t want to endure again.

Xie Yunzhen was extremely conflicted.

He didn’t know what choice was best.

Pulling at the corner of his mouth, perhaps people are just greedy.

He wanted Mingzhu to be well and not to suffer the pain of childbirth.

But he also wanted a child blended with their blood.

It would be the continuation of him and Mingzhu, having a very different meaning...

The man remained motionless and silent, prompting Mingzhu to discontentedly kick at him.

"So, is it possible or not?"

"If not, get off!"

She wriggled beneath him, trying to find a space to break free.

Beads of hot sweat slid down the man’s temples.

A muffled grunt sounded in Mingzhu’s ear.

Strong knees pinned down her two restless, slender legs.

The man gritted his teeth, "No, I haven’t gotten enough of our life as just the two of us."

There were still many things to attend to next, and he might need to leave the capital for some time.

If there was truly a child, he feared he wouldn’t be able to care for them.

In a past life, when Mingzhu was pregnant, he did nothing worthwhile.

He didn’t even accompany Mingzhu, nor did he say anything kind, or show her any warmth.

Every time he thought of the past, Xie Yunzhen regretted it deeply.

Mingzhu never asked for much.

If only he had said a few kind words and showed some concern for her situation in the mansion, she wouldn’t have been so anxious.

And she wouldn’t have believed the rumors.

Pregnancy was so painful, but in this lifetime, he wants to accompany Mingzhu and the child well.

Mingzhu still wanted to speak but was silenced.

Only after a long time did she find a chance to speak, "Xie Yunzhen, I haven’t finished speaking yet..."

"Then speak, I’m listening."

Mingzhu slid uncontrollably toward the headboard.

The sound in her throat also changed pitch.

It was terribly embarrassing.

Mumbling, she asked, "With you like this, how can I say anything?"

With a playful look in his eyes, the man said, "Say it however you want."

Having said this, he deliberately disrupted her thoughts.

So she wouldn’t bring up the previous topic again.

"I’m settling accounts, are you sure you won’t check them carefully?"

Mingzhu: "..."

Sounds were heard again from inside the bed.

Xie Yunzhen tightly clasped Mingzhu’s waist, a habitual action at certain moments.

Just so he could leave quickly.

Avoid any accidents.

The veins on the man’s arms bulged, his face tense, his hawk-like eyes filled with madness.

Mingzhu knew his habits.

Thus, she tightly embraced Xie Yunzhen’s waist, disrupting his rhythm.

She truly wanted to have a child.

Setting aside other things for the moment, pregnancy takes ten months, no matter how crazy the person in the palace might be, there’s nothing they can do to her during this period.

The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.

Let’s take it one step at a time; she’s willing to have Xie Yunzhen’s child.

After all, in this lifetime, he fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband.

In the mansion, she no longer needs to watch anyone’s expressions, to live meekly and fearfully.

Now that Xie Yunzhen is safely back, the restoration of the General Mansion can also be put on the agenda.

If life in the Duke Mansion was unpleasant, she could move out at any time.

This was the confidence left to her by her parents.

And the support Xie Yunzhen gave her.

Mingzhu leaned against his chest, her movements intimate, her tone coquettish.

"I want to have a child, and it doesn’t matter if you disagree. After all, I can raise him myself."

Having failed to leave as he intended, Xie Yunzhen’s head was in a daze.

Ever since their wedding night, he had been particularly cautious about this matter.

This was the first time something had gone wrong.

With limp arms, he was firmly pressed against Mingzhu.

Rolling over with her, they switched positions.

Gruffly, he patted her butt, "You’re cheating!"

Mingzhu looked up, "Who was it that rushed back to the room in broad daylight?"

Xie Yunzhen was at a loss.

Burying his head in her neck, "I’m not ready, I’m afraid."

"What are you afraid of, a grown man like you? It’s not like you have to give birth."

Xie Yunzhen even wished he could give birth himself, to bear all the pains of childbirth.

Then they could embrace two brothers together in three years.

With his physical condition, he could have ten or eight in this lifetime without any issue.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t give birth!
