Chapter 442: Chapter 442: His Wife Can’t Have Children

Huang Kangtai looked at Yuan Xiao, who was pale on the hospital bed. Beside the bed, Yuan Xiao’s mother watched her daughter with a heavy heart.

Her husband had only been inside for a few days when her daughter also had an accident. The series of events left Yuan Xiao’s mom deeply affected. She reached under the blanket to hold Yuan Xiao’s hand, saying tenderly:

"Your hand is so cold."

Huang Kangtai said to his wife, "Shujin, come over here for a moment."

Lin Shujin followed Huang Kangtai out of the hospital room. She had been holding in a lot of questions to ask, but since Yuan Xiao was still in surgery, she had stayed with Yuan Xiao’s mother, Zhang Xian. "Tell me, what’s going on?"

Huang Kangtai said, "Yuan Xiao is thoughtful. She went to Cheng Qiaobei to plead for Yuan Wei. It seems their conversation didn’t go very well, and Yuan Xiao got emotional..."

Lin Shujin’s eyes flashed with severity, "Cheng Qiaobei again! After hurting my son, now he wants to hurt my grandson too. I will settle accounts with him right now."

"Shujin," Huang Kangtai stopped her, saying, "Now is not the time to settle accounts with him. Yuan Xiao has just had a brush with death. You pacify the mother-in-law; leave the matters afterward to me."

Lin Shujin’s eyes were full of anger, "Don’t let him go, our family lost a grandson; he won’t have it easy either."

Huang Kangtai’s eyes flashed coldly, "His wife can’t bear children."

Lin Shujin cursed viciously, "With all the evil he has done, it’s karma that he will have no children, doomed to have no heirs in this lifetime."

Huang Kangtai said, "I have some things to attend to, stay here with our in-laws."

"What about our son, should we tell him?" Lin Shujin worried, afraid Huang Yuanwei might lose control if he knew the child was gone, causing trouble inside.

Huang Kangtai shook his head, "For now, let’s not tell him."

Once he left the hospital, Huang Kangtai dialed a number and said to the person on the line, "Hello, is Mr. Liu there? Yes, I have some news that’s not exactly spectacular. Are you interested?"

At this moment, Cheng Qiaobei heard the door sound and came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of soup.

Chen Ningxi changed her shoes while saying, "I said I was making dinner tonight."

Cheng Qiaobei placed the soup bowl on the dining table, with a smile at the corner of his eyes and brows, "You dared promise to cook when you didn’t reply for two hours?"

"You really hold grudges." Chen Ningxi washed her hands and headed to the kitchen, "Any more tasks? I’ll do them."

Cheng Qiaobei held her shoulders and pushed her out, "Nothing else, go sit and eat."

He brought the last stir-fry dish to the table, and Chen Ningxi stood up, saying, "Wait, with such good food, shouldn’t we have a drink?"

Cheng Qiaobei raised an eyebrow, "Let’s have some."

In the end, Chen Ningxi produced two stacks of beer, and Cheng Qiaobei’s eyes widened, "Is this your idea of a little drink?"

Chen Ningxi liked having a little drink to relax when happy. Before, she and Liang Lei used to drink a stack of beer each when grilling skewers at home.

"Haha." Chen Ningxi laughed.

Click-click, they each opened a can of beer.

Chen Ningxi raised her beer towards him, saying, "Sorry for the late reply today."

Cheng Qiaobei corrected her, "You didn’t reply, not replied late."

"Fine, fine, your nitpicking presence dims a man’s charm. I promise, I’ll reply to your messages as soon as possible in the future."

Cheng Qiaobei curled his lips, "As soon as possible? If you say so, even three or four hours would still be mine."

"How could that be, don’t you trust me?" Chen Ningxi bumped her beer can against his, "A gentleman’s word, four horses can’t catch up."

"Hold on." Cheng Qiaobei took out his phone, tapped open the record, "I have to record this, for evidence. Okay, start talking."

Chen Ningxi went to snatch his phone, "Who are you doubting?"

Cheng Qiaobei quickly dodged, laughing, "I don’t doubt you, just don’t believe you. Speak, quickly, promise how you’ll... Chen Ningxi, are you chickening out?"

With a half-hearted smile, Chen Ningxi raised her beer, "I promise, I’ll reply to your messages as soon as possible in the future."

Cheng Qiaobei watched her through the screen. When she smiled, everything around seemed dim, and only she shone like a star.

He asked, "What if you still don’t reply for several hours?"

Chen Ningxi said, "I won’t."

"No way, you say. If it happens that you don’t reply for several hours, how will it be handled?" Cheng Qiaobei asked.

Chen Ningxi said, "What else can be done, write you a self-criticism?"

"Forget the self-criticism, I don’t have time to read that much text," Cheng Qiaobei said, "How about this, if you don’t reply to my messages within two hours, you promise me one thing."

Chen Ningxi propped her chin, "What thing?"

"Can I say now?" Cheng Qiaobei asked her, "Do you agree?"

"You have to say what the thing is first." Chen Ningxi wouldn’t fall for his trick.

"I’m your husband. Would I harm you? Agree or chicken out?" Cheng Qiaobei laughed.

Chen Ningxi couldn’t stand his provocation, "Okay, I agree. Why would I chicken out?"

"Good, good," Cheng Qiaobei was triumphant, "If it happens again, I’ll choose the lingerie I like online, buy it and you wear it for me at night."

Chen Ningxi blushed. Even though he didn’t say the word ’sensual,’ she understood.

"No way." Chen Ningxi immediately denied.

"Why, not keeping your word? Chickening out?" Cheng Qiaobei saved the video, "With that mindset, it seems like you don’t take my messages seriously or me, as a person."

Chen Ningxi said, "Don’t go overboard, I was at the construction site, the sea wind was so loud it made my brain buzz. I could barely hear anything. Even the technician next to me had to shout to communicate. Besides, I don’t have notifications for WeChat, if a message comes and I don’t see it, isn’t it normal? I was leading the inspection at the site. If my attention was not on the site and I was on my phone all the time, wouldn’t that be a problem, right? Our home is a place where reason prevails, right?"

"Haha," Cheng Qiaobei laughed, "Who’s reasoning with you, dreaming, aren’t you?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Ningxi raised an eyebrow, "No reasoning?"

Cheng Qiaobei bumped her beer can again, with a thrilling glance, "We talk emotions, not reasons. If you want to argue, go to court?"

Chen Ningxi pursed her lips and smiled, downing the remaining half-can in one go.

With the beer finished, the two of them drank to contentment. After taking a shower, Chen Ningxi came out and saw Cheng Qiaobei leaning against the sink blowing his hair.

She hugged him from behind, caressing his firm abs. Cheng Qiaobei shivered, "Stop touching, it’s ticklish."

Chen Ningxi wouldn’t listen, laughing cheerily from drinking, her hands becoming more unrestrained.

But as she kept touching, he felt something amiss, and looked down, "Hey..."

Cheng Qiaobei put down the hairdryer, picked her up directly. She had just showered, carrying the scent of flowers. Her skin felt exquisite.

"Do you want to?" He asked meaningfully, eyes filled with desire.

Chen Ningxi’s cheeks tinged with a lovely crabapple color, she embraced his neck and kissed his lips, taking the initiative this time.

"Qiao Bei..." Chen Ningxi gazed at him with drunken eyes, "Hold me..."
