Monopolize My Mysterious Wife
Chapter 644 - 644 630 Dare You Call your Father-in-law (1)_1

Chapter 644: 630, Dare You Call your Father-in-law (1)_1 Chapter 644: 630, Dare You Call your Father-in-law (1)_1 This was absolutely the funniest joke he had heard all year.

Bai Jue looked gloomy, glancing at the person beside him who was laughing until his face contorted, his expression turning even sourer.

“I say, you might want to go and apologize now, confusing someone’s father for your boyfriend and even offending them. That’s rather dishonorable of you,” Quan Mingxuan barely managed to contain his laughter. He put a hand on Bai Jue’s shoulder and suggested.

“Not going.” Bai Jue brushed off his hand. “Still going to eat?”

If he went over now, he was guaranteed not to have a good outcome.

“Eat, let’s go.” Quan Mingxuan still grinning, led the way.

…

Shijin Haoting

The barren branches were coated in a silver film, shimmering silver under the sunlight.

Fine specks of golden light bathed Jian Luo’s handsome side profile, casting mottled shadows.

He picked up the coffee from the table and took a small sip. The icy sensation caused him to furrow his brows, but he still swallowed the coffee.

“Ah––”

He sighed gently, traces of worry reflecting in his brow and eyes.

“Why did you hide here?”

A magnetic voice came from the front, pulling back Jian Qing’s far-flung thoughts.

He put down his coffee cup and looked up.

A gust of wind brushed past the branches, dead leaves swirling in the air before lightly falling to the ground to rest peacefully.

From the distance, the man was slowly approaching him. Despite the distance, Jian Luo could still clearly see the dazzling smile on his handsome face.

He lowered his gaze, his eyes seeming misty, concealing his current thoughts.

Soon, a pair of men’s leather shoes came into view. But Jian Luo made no move to look up.

“Luo Xiaobai, did you find gold on the ground?”

The man’s teasing voice bubbled with a touch of deep, mirthful amusement.

Jian Luo shook his head slightly, not looking at him.

Black Jack stared at the soft chestnut locks before him, his thick brows slightly furrowed, and the smile on his lips disappeared.

He squatted down, his bony hand gently lifting Jian Luo’s chin. “What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

“No.” Jian Luo answered in a muffled tone.

“What happened then? You seem to be in low spirits. Hmm?” Black Jack gently pinched his cheek, before further questioning.

Jian Luo pulled down his hand, lifting his gaze to meet his, “Black Jack, do you like kids?”

“Hmm?” Black Jack was taken aback.

“I mean, babies.” Jian Luo explained.

Seeing the fleeting anxiety in his eyes, Black Jack finally understood what was troubling him.

He grinned knowingly, clasped Jian Luo’s hand, “Why did you suddenly bring this up?”

No wonder he had been in low spirits since coming back from the hospital; he even skipped going to Qianshi Restaurant with Quan Mingxuan and the others. So it turned out he saw that Khan and Xiya had a child and started overthinking things.

“It’s nothing.” Jian Luo said, “You answer me first. Do you like children?”

“What, are you planning to have one for me?” Black Jack jested.

Jian Luo was already sensitive about the topic of children, so he misconstrued Black Jack’s words.

He pulled his hand away, his pale pink lips tightly pursed.

“So you’re saying you like children?”

How could he, as a man, have children? Wasn’t Black Jack just teasing him?

“If it’s yours, of course I would love it.” Black Jack saw Jian Luo’s irritation, a smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Convinced that he was being intentionally pestered, Jian Luo became upset.

“Move away.”

He pushed at him, intending to get up and leave.

But Black Jack held his hand and forced him back down onto the seat.

“Sit still, otherwise we’ll go talk in your room.”

Jian Luo turned his head away, the irritable look on his face only made Black Jack’s smile deepen.

“Luo Xiaobai, are you angry?”

Jian Luo huffed lightly, refusing to look at him directly.

Black Jack squatted in front of him, cupped his face with both hands and turned his face back.

“Jian Luo, look at me.”

“What for?” Jian Luo answered indifferently.

“I only want you. Even without a child, I don’t mind. Besides, after Jian Qing gives birth to a baby, we can treat her child as our own and be good to the child. Is my answer clear enough?” Black Jack stared into his eyes, his gaze gentle as water.

Jian Luo looked stunned, “But, what about your family and your mother?”

Someone has to inherit everything of his, including his count status. Would the Sophallo family tolerate a leader without an heir?

Black Jack chuckled lightly, “Don’t worry about my mother. She just called me, asking me to bring you home soon. As for the family, it’s not their place to interfere in my affairs.”

“Your mother wants you to bring me home?” Jian Luo was surprised.

Despite having seen his mother many times since childhood and maintaining a good relationship with her, he had always felt guilty about his relationship with Black Jack, given her deep affection for him. Therefore, he had not visited Black Jack’s fortress recently.

But now, Black Jack’s mother had actually invited him over. Did this mean she truly did not mind him being with Black Jack?

Black Jack said, “Yes, didn’t I tell you before? My mom doesn’t oppose us anymore, so you don’t need to worry.”

“But…”

Jian Luo still had some reservations.

“No buts. Anyway, your future mother-in-law wants to see her daughter-in-law. Are you saying you’re not going?” Black Jack flashed a devilish grin, whispering in a low voice.

“What future mother-in-law? Stop taking advantage of me.” Jian Luo, amused by his words, lightly punched his shoulder.

Black Jack curled his lips into a smile, “You happy now?”

“I was never unhappy.” Jian Luo retorted stubbornly.

“So when do you plan to see your mother-in-law?” Black Jack asked.

“Why does it have to be ‘mother-in-law’? Why not ‘mom’?” Jian Luo countered.

“If you’re so capable, then go call my dad ‘father-in-law’.”

Let’s see if his dear old dad doesn’t break his legs.

Black Jack’s blue eyes narrowed, “Fine, since you requested it. I’ll go now.”

Having said that, he stood up and walked away.

Noticing his serious demeanor, Jian Luo’s eyes widened in surprise. Hurriedly, he ran after him.

“Hey, I was joking. Stop right there.”

He followed closely behind, but the faster he called out, the farther Black Jack walked away.

“Black Jack, stop.”

Jian Luo raised his voice, running after him.

Inside the living room, Mo Xiao was chatting with Ning Feng. Hearing the voices at the door, they stopped the conversation to look over.

“Black Jack, you…”

One after another, the two rushed into the living room. Black Jack suddenly stopped, and Jian Luo, who was running too fast, ended up crashing directly into his back.

“Hiss––”

Jian Luo covered his nose, inhaling sharply in pain.

Mo Xiao watched their strange actions, his face etched with confusion.

“What are you two in a hurry for?”

“No.” Jian Luo quickly stepped in front of Black Jack, denying it.
