Chapter 575: Unable to Conceive a Child

~7 min read 1,396 words

Late at night—

After a busy wedding day, the Liu Family and the Qin Family finally returned together to the bridal chamber of Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan.

This was a villa that the Qin Family had prepared for the two of them long ago.

The interior was fully furnished and decorated, all arranged by Madam Qin.

Yet at this moment, the atmosphere in the villa was not very pleasant.

"Xin'ai, what is going on between you and Jiang Chenghao?"

As soon as they entered the door, Liu Tengnian pulled Liu Xin'ai into a secluded corner and asked with a stern face.

Liu Xin'ai paused slightly, not saying a word.

Liu Tengnian, however, knew this expression of hers all too well, and his anger flared up even more: "Are you treating my words as wind past your ears? Didn't I forbid the two of you from having any further contact! Why did he dare to pull a stunt like crashing the wedding today! If I hadn't stopped you at the time, would you have just left with him!"

"Dad, hasn't the wedding already ended? Am I not still standing here?"

Liu Xin'ai asked back indifferently.

Hearing this, Liu Tengnian became even more furious: "Do you still think you're in the right? Yes, you are still standing here, but your heart has probably flown far away, hasn't it! How can you justify this to Yiyan! How can you justify this to his parents! If you had really just walked away today, have you thought about the consequences!"

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes, not refuting a single word.

Because Liu Tengnian was right.

Her heart was indeed no longer here.

Today, she had also nearly been moved by the thought of running away with Jiang Chenghao.

But just at this moment—

"Dad, please don't blame Xin'ai for what happened today."

Qin Yiyan's voice suddenly came from beside the two of them, and he had already changed how he addressed Liu Tengnian.

Hearing this, Liu Tengnian immediately put on a smiling face: "Yiyan, about today's matter..."

"Let today's matter pass. As for the history between Xin'ai and that Mr. Jiang... I have heard a little about it, and it is understandable that he would still be hung up on Xin'ai, but this is not Xin'ai's fault."

Qin Yiyan appeared very easygoing, putting his arm around Liu Xin'ai's shoulders and pulling her closer into his embrace.

Liu Xin'ai was startled by his words and instinctively wanted to dodge, but remembering that Liu Tengnian was still watching, she had no choice but to keep her body stiff and not move.

Immediately after, she heard Qin Yiyan speak again: "My parents are still waiting for you over there."

"Right, right, right, I'll go over right now!"

Liu Tengnian had no choice but to swallow all his words and turn to walk toward the living room.

Seeing him walk away, Liu Xin'ai struggled slightly and avoided Qin Yiyan's embrace.

The smile on Qin Yiyan's face also vanished in an instant, and he released his hand accordingly.

The two of them instinctively exchanged a glance before walking toward the living room together.

On the sofa, the parents of the Qin Family were chatting with Liu Tengnian about his health; neither of them mentioned the incident with Jiang Chenghao today, as if it were merely an insignificant little interlude.

The elders chatted for a few minutes before standing up together.

"Yiyan, Xin'ai, today is your wedding night, so we won't disturb you any longer."

Qin Mu said with a smile, giving Qin Fu a wink.

Liu Tengnian also hurriedly agreed and followed the two of them as they turned to walk toward the door.

Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai saw the three elders out the door before turning back into the villa together.

The living room was quiet.

To ensure they could have a world for two tonight, Madam Qin had specifically arranged for the servants here to come back tomorrow afternoon.

At this moment in the villa, only the two of them remained.

Liu Xin'ai was in no mood to talk and only wanted to take a shower and rest quickly, so she walked toward the second floor without a word.

Immediately after, she heard footsteps behind her.

The two of them went up to the second floor one after the other.

Yet, they stopped at the same time when passing the first room.

The master bedroom was at the very end.

In the hallway, besides a few guest bedrooms, there were two extra bathrooms.

Liu Xin'ai went to the bedroom, only to discover...

The entire room was decorated in a very orderly fashion, but the bed was bare, completely undecorated.

It was just a brand-new bed frame without even a mattress.

Liu Xin'ai stared at it for two seconds, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took two quick steps forward to check the other guest rooms.

Only then did she discover that all the rooms were the same.

She simply went straight back to the master bedroom.

And immediately saw the neatly arranged bridal bed.

Heh... so that's how it is...

Was this to prevent her and Qin Yiyan from sleeping in separate beds tonight?

"It seems you have no choice but to sleep with me tonight."

Qin Yiyan's voice also rang out from behind her at the right moment, startling Liu Xin'ai so much that she instantly got goosebumps all over.

"I can sleep on the sofa in the living room."

She dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

A flash of fire suddenly crossed Qin Yiyan's eyes, and he instantly grabbed her wrist and yanked her back!

"Don't forget your current status!"

His tone was somewhat fierce, and he took the opportunity to lift her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Liu Xin'ai, how long do you think you can drag this out? The wedding is already over... It won't be long before they start urging us to hurry up and have children..."

Qin Yiyan's tone carried a hint of watching a show, and he deliberately raised an eyebrow at Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai's entire body stiffened instantly.

No!

She did not want to have any relations with the man in front of her at all!

"I can find an excuse and just say that I cannot conceive."

She replied in a stiff tone.

As soon as the words fell, the fire in Qin Yiyan's eyes grew even more intense.

Was this woman really this stubborn!

To think she could even say something like that!

He, Qin Yiyan, had never been so detested by any woman before!

Qin Yiyan did not control the strength in his hands for a moment and exerted force abruptly.

Yet Liu Xin'ai pursed her lips stubbornly, refusing to show even a hint of pain.

Qin Yiyan stared straight into her eyes, feeling as if something was burning in the depths of his heart, scorching hot.

The moment he saw Jiang Chenghao today, he admitted that he had been somewhat flustered.

Even... somewhat afraid that this woman would leave with him without hesitation.

He did not know what he was afraid of.

He only remembered that at the time, only one thought remained—

That was, he absolutely could not let her go!!!

Fortunately, later on, she took the initiative to hold his hand.

Even though it was reluctant, and she only had to do it for the sake of Liu Tengnian.

But at the very least, the wedding was already finished.

He had thought about letting her off the hook tonight.

But her current attitude was simply asking for trouble!

Could she not learn to soften her tone when speaking to him at all?

A trace of coldness rose in Qin Yiyan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice again: "I will give you one more chance; reconsider the answer to that question just now..."

He had given her a chance.

Even if she changed her tune now and asked him to help her find a way to delay this matter, he could still let her go...

"Tick—"

The clock in the room advanced by one tick.

Liu Xin'ai's lips also parted slightly—

"I said, there is something wrong with my body and I cannot conceive, or... if you are willing to say that there is something wrong with you, I have no objections."
