Chapter 503: Chapter 503: Doing Evil

Chu Xi scrutinized his parents’ reactions closely.

He saw their complexions become even more subtle when they heard his words.

Chu Xi’s father appeared somewhat unnatural.

His mother’s face turned noticeably paler, and she couldn’t help but pinch the armrest of the sofa next to her.

The two exchanged an urgent glance, then quickly averted their eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Xi’s heart sank, realizing he might have really misunderstood Jiangli.

His expression darkened, and he abruptly stood up, "Mom and Dad, are you really hiding something from me? Did you do something to Yiran and me?"

"How could that be?" Chu’s mother hurriedly said, "Xiao Xi, don’t you know us? We’ve been wishing for you and Yiran to have a child soon, how could we interfere with something like that?"

"Then why did the Abbot say so?" Chu Xi was full of suspicion towards his parents, and he provocatively said, "The Abbot even told us that it was because of the sins you committed, and by the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, Yiran and I are childless! She also said that Yiran could have children; as long as she divorces me and finds someone else, she will definitely be pregnant within three months!"

"What kind of person talks like that?" Chu’s mother became angrily defensive and said, "Isn’t that destroying someone’s family? Tell Mom, which Taoist Temple is this? I’m going to have words with them!"

Chu Xi said, "Mom and Dad, is this really the time to talk about that?"

He could tell that his mother was partly infuriated and embarrassed, and deliberately trying to change the subject.

Chu Xi steered the conversation back, his face stern, "Mom and Dad, Yiran is already wavering. This matter significantly affects both of us; you can’t just watch me get divorced, right? I’m already middle-aged, without a child. If I get divorced too, how am I supposed to live? Aren’t you forcing me to die? Just consider it a plea from me, whatever you’ve done, can’t you honestly tell me everything? I came back today just to clear things up. The Abbot said as long as you genuinely repent, I might be able to have children. Don’t you truly wish to see me carry on the family line?"

Chu Xi’s words were on the verge of tears.

Every sentence pricked Chu’s parents’ sore spot.

They desperately hoped for Chu Xi and Zhou Yiran to have a child.

In the beginning, when Zhou Yiran was unable to bear children, they had even thought about advising Chu Xi to divorce her and remarry.

But then, they suddenly stopped mentioning it and became quite considerate instead.

Previously, Chu Xi hadn’t thought much of it, assuming that after his heartfelt talks with his parents, they had finally come to understand him.

But now...

Chu Xi couldn’t help but overthink.

Chu Xi’s parents looked at each other, suffering internally.

His last sentence had completely shaken them.

If there was a chance...

Even at the cost of losing their face, they wished for Chu Xi to have a child so that the Chu Family would have a successor.

Chu Xi’s mother looked at his father, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something. After struggling for a while, she finally managed to say, "Otherwise, let’s tell the child... As long as it can ensure Xiao Xi has offspring, we... that would be worth it."

Chu Xi’s father’s face turned ashen, and with a hint of embarrassment, he looked away, remaining silent.

"What on earth is going on, Mom and Dad, please tell me quickly!" Chu Xi was almost frantic with urgency!

Chu Xi’s mother’s eyes reddened, her hands clasped together, she said, "Enough, I’ll say it... This sin, it’s something your father and I committed, we admit..."

...

Zhou Yiran returned home and sat in the living room, waiting for Chu Xi to return.

At that moment, she was on pins and needles, feeling like she had a sword hanging over her head.

Zhou Yiran occasionally looked up at the clock on the wall, genuinely experiencing what seemed like an eternity.
