Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words, Ye Xunhuan was completely stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Qiu Ruoxi.
Ye Xunhuan wasn't dumb; of course, he understood what Qiu Ruoxi meant by that.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan slowly came back to his senses and looked at Qiu Ruoxi, saying, "Wife, you... you..."
"I want to try again!" Qiu Ruoxi said emphatically.
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words again, Ye Xunhuan fell into silence.
After a moment, Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and said seriously, "Actually, wife, I was just teasing you. I don't even know what's wrong with me, nor if having a child would help!"
"I know!" Qiu Ruoxi looked seriously into Ye Xunhuan's eyes and said, "But you're right; having a child brings a lot of hope…"
The corner of Ye Xunhuan's mouth twitched slightly. Was this woman pretending to be innocent, or was he not clear enough?
As soon as Ye Xunhuan started speaking, Qiu Ruoxi interrupted, "I've been thinking, I like you now, I really like you."
"Without realizing it, your actions have started to affect my mood." Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan seriously and said, "Although you always annoy me and act nonchalantly, every time I'm in danger, it's always you who silently protects me!"
"In front of me, you almost have none of the dignity a man should have, and I haven't even given you a good face, yet you continue to cling to me with a silly smile."
"Although I'm quite attractive, I'm also aware that there are many beautiful women in this world, and there's no shortage around you!"
Ye Xunhuan suddenly felt immensely embarrassed. Woman, you're saying emotional things already, why bring this up? Don't you know it's inappropriate for this occasion?
"I don't know if I'm testing your patience with me, or if I'm slowly creating more distance between us. But I know that, given the chance, little aunt will definitely intervene…"
Ye Xunhuan wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what he should say.
Because what Qiu Ruoxi said left Ye Xunhuan with no room to refute.
Qin Rumeng doesn't like Qiu Ruoxi; this was something Qiu Ruoxi was very aware of, as Qin Rumeng had never hidden her thoughts.
Although Qin Rumeng would also support Qiu Ruoxi, it was entirely because Qiu Ruoxi was Ye Xunhuan's wife.
Qiu Ruoxi paused slightly, then continued to speak, "I don't know what other people's love is like, nor do I know how others date. But I know, being with you, I feel a sense of security I've never felt before!"
"It feels as if, as long as you're by my side, even if the sky falls, you could hold it up…"
Ye Xunhuan chuckled awkwardly and said, "In reality, if the sky falls, I really can't hold it up…"
The heartwarming atmosphere was completely ruined in an instant by Ye Xunhuan's words.
But Qiu Ruoxi didn't care about these things and continued to look at Ye Xunhuan, saying, "I like you, what about you, do you like me?"
With a slightly intense gaze, Qiu Ruoxi seemed to be eagerly awaiting Ye Xunhuan's answer.
Faced with Qiu Ruoxi's intense gaze, Ye Xunhuan shook his head and said, "I don't like you!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Qiu Ruoxi was stunned, and an unprecedented sense of loss instantly sprouted in her heart, making her feel like a wilting eggplant.
For a moment, Qiu Ruoxi's heart was filled with bitterness and pain.
But come to think of it, after treating him like she did before, how could he possibly like her?
The reason he protected her and brought her to the Qin family was likely because she was his wife.
That was his responsibility and duty, right?
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi with such a lost and somewhat pained expression, Ye Xunhuan spoke again, "I don't like you at all, really!"
"You have such a bad temper, always with a sullen face, as if everyone owes you a fortune!"
Normally, hearing Ye Xunhuan's complaints, Qiu Ruoxi would definitely tell Ye Xunhuan to leave. But now she didn't, remaining quiet and almost as if soulless.
"Even though you're my wife, you won't let me touch you and insist on some kind of agreement!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Who else would put up with that?"
Then suddenly, Ye Xunhuan's tone shifted: "But I'm someone who enjoys being treated poorly, I can handle it!"
"And the reason I don't like you is that I love you. Liking is weak love, but love is deep liking. So Qiu Ruoxi, I don't like you, I love you, my dear CEO!" Ye Xunhuan said forcefully.
I don't like you, I love you, my dear CEO!
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ruoxi was slightly stunned, and the previous gloom on her face was immediately replaced by excitement and joy!
"You... do you really mean it?"
"Of course!" Ye Xunhuan said sincerely, "I love you; I don't like you. Liking is too shallow; love is the deepest emotion!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, a beautiful smile immediately spread across Qiu Ruoxi's stunning and delicate face.
It was as if the enchantress was reborn, her smile captivating all who beheld it!
Captivating all, enchanting beyond compare!
When Qiu Ruoxi initially heard Ye Xunhuan say he didn't like her, it broke her heart. But who would have thought that light would emerge at the end of the tunnel!
As she smiled, tears began to uncontrollably slide down from Qiu Ruoxi's eyes.
Ye Xunhuan was startled upon seeing this: "Wife, don't cry, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong…">
"No, I'm just too happy!" Qiu Ruoxi said, wiping away her tears.
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words, Ye Xunhuan suddenly felt flustered.
No wonder even Huo Jin said women are creatures that are difficult to understand.
"I've decided to give myself to you, to have a child with you…"
Seeing the troubled expression on Ye Xunhuan's face, Qiu Ruoxi spoke again, "What are you hesitating about, or what are you afraid of…"
Spurred by Qiu Ruoxi's words, Ye Xunhuan sat up from the bed with a start: "What's there to hesitate about? As long as you're willing, I'm with my wife, it's not illegal!"
"You… can't you say something nicer…" Qiu Ruoxi, with a blush spreading across her cheeks, looked at Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan chuckled and said, "The words may be rough, but the logic isn't. Wife, it's getting late, let's hurry…"
Saying that, Ye Xunhuan directly lunged at Qiu Ruoxi, holding her tightly in his arms!
