Hearing Qing Mo's question, Lin Yu's scalp went numb, and he was almost completely dumbfounded.
What kind of weird question was this?
Why did it sound so much like she was testing the waters?
Don't tell me you're pregnant!
Wait, no!
Thinking about his and Qing Mo's almost constant barrier-free intimacy, Lin Yu's heart sank. He felt it really wasn't impossible!
Looking up at Qing Mo, who had a slightly nervous expression on her face, a sentence from the bottom of Lin Yu's heart blurted out:
"If you're pregnant, keep the baby."
"I'll raise it."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Lin Yu couldn't quite hold it together.
After all, he could basically be considered as being kept by Qing Mo right now.
And he was talking about raising her and a child?
He was just making a fool of himself.
Qing Mo was also completely baffled by Lin Yu's answer.
However, after a brief moment of astonishment, a water-like gentleness emerged in her eyes.
"I'm not pregnant."
"I just wanted to ask you if you like kids."
Qing Mo explained, exceptionally gently picking off a grain of rice stuck to the corner of Lin Yu's mouth with her finger.
Hearing Qing Mo say this, Lin Yu let out a long sigh of relief.
So it was just a false alarm.
Calming down, Lin Yu turned to seriously consider the question Qing Mo had raised.
"Kids, huh..."
Lin Yu rubbed his chin, and after some thought, he continued:
"I do quite like them."
"If I have a daughter in the future, I'll have a sweet little darling."
"If I have a son, I'll have another little lackey I can boss around."
"No matter how you look at it, it's a pretty good thing."
"However..."
At this point, Lin Yu paused, then shrugged and picked up his chopsticks again, saying:
"I don't plan on having kids right now."
"It's just too early. I haven't even finished college yet."
"If I were to have kids,"
"My plan would be a few years after graduating from college."
"Around the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight."
"Of course."
Lin Yu emphasized again:
"If any of you three accidentally gets pregnant,"
"I promise I'll take responsibility!"
There was nothing wrong with Lin Yu's answer, but it still made Qing Mo's delicate eyebrows furrow slightly.
It seemed like she was troubled by something.
Lin Yu noticed her distress and considerately asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Is your family pressuring you to have a baby?"
Qing Mo shook her head gently. She looked like she had a lot on her mind but didn't say much, only softly replying, "No."
Since Qing Mo didn't want to elaborate, Lin Yu didn't press the issue.
On one hand, Lin Yu wasn't someone who liked to pry into things.
On the other hand, subconsciously,
This topic felt like a hurtful flame.
It made Lin Yu want to avoid it almost instinctively.
He didn't want to delve any deeper.
And so.
The two of them, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, fell into silence.
It wasn't until he finished the rice in his bowl that Lin Yu let out a satisfied burp.
"Let's go."
"Time to go back to sleep."
Lin Yu patted his bulging stomach and looked at Qing Mo as he spoke.
Qing Mo seemed to have been deep in thought about something. It wasn't until Lin Yu spoke that she snapped back to reality, nodding gently and saying okay.
Early the next morning, when the four of them woke up, Xia Muzhu and Qing Mo were already somewhat used to it.
Only Tang Manman was still hiding under the covers with a bright red face, her body trembling slightly from shyness.
This was quite normal, though.
After all, every time they had a gathering, she participated while drunk.
It was basically her second personality.
Qing Mo seemed very busy.
After a night of passion, she left in a hurry.
As for Xia Muzhu, she wasn't too busy, just a bit worried about Xia Yueshan.
Lin Yu originally planned to have her stay here for a while to bond properly with Tang Manman.
But she insisted on going back with Qing Mo, so Lin Yu didn't force the issue.
In the afternoon, Tang Manman immersed herself in the lab again.
Even though Lin Yu had told her many times that she didn't need to work so hard and that her husband would support her.
But Tang Manman was unexpectedly stubborn about this matter.
It was as if she wanted to prove something.
Since she liked spending time in the lab, Lin Yu didn't stop her and just let her be.
During a boring moment in the afternoon, Lin Yu checked on his two digital pets.
Unsurprisingly.
The two of them were still staying in that outrageously expensive hotel.
Showing no signs of moving out anytime soon.
As for why the two refused to move out...
Wait, no!
Not the two of them.
Tao Yaoyao probably wanted to leave that money pit very much.
The one who didn't want to leave was Xu Mingyao.
As for why she didn't want to leave.
Lin Yu's lips curled up, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
A while ago, Lin Yu had pulled a little trick.
As everyone knew, after the fall of the Xu family, Xu Mingyao, who used to be the center of attention, instantly fell into the mud.
Those who merely ignored her were considered to have some conscience.
After learning that she had offended the Qing family, some people even scrambled to kick her while she was down.
Some did it out of personal grudges, while others hoped to please certain figures in the Qing family to gain some benefits.
Lin Yu used this exact point to set a trap for Xu Mingyao.
Lin Yu knew that with her personality, she would definitely try hard to maintain the little dignity she had left.
Even if it meant keeping up appearances at great cost.
So, Lin Yu found some women who didn't get along with Xu Mingyao, or who used to be beneath her, and deliberately had them go in front of her with bitter faces to mock her downfall.
Then, he had those women show expressions of defeat or even jealousy upon learning that she could still afford to stay in such a nice hotel.
This way.
Xu Mingyao would become even more reliant on this luxury hotel that could keep up her facade.
Gradually.
The savings in her hands...
No.
The savings in Tao Yaoyao's hands would be hollowed out by these terrifying expenses.
Once the two of them ran out of money, and Tao Yaoyao hit walls everywhere trying to find a job, with nowhere to turn, it would be time for him, the villain of the story, to make his entrance.
Tao Yaoyao, you wouldn't want Xu Mingyao to live such a shabby life where even affording a meal is a problem, would you?
Could you bear to see her suffer, be looked down upon, and live all day in the pain of this massive fall from grace?
Right now, placed before you is a choice that can make Xu Mingyao happy again.
How about it?
Will you consider grasping it?
Hmm...
Lin Yu smacked his lips twice, feeling like he was quite a scumbag.
But to deal with an animal like Xu Mingyao.
This trick was just right.
Speaking of which.
Calculating the time, the money Tao Yaoyao had on her should be just about hitting the bottom, right?
