It was as if victory was within their grasp as if she was bound to get pregnant.
F*ck it, Su Jin cursed. She was still looking forward to more school life.
Xi Chenxiao could read the reluctance on her face. “Didn’t you say we could have as many children as we could if I marry you?” he asked coldly.
Blushing, Su Jin put one hand over his mouth and typed in her text-to-speech. “Excuse me. It’s almost time for class. Could you drop me at school?”
His gaze moved to her abdomen before sliding upwards, and his voice plain, “No. You’re going home to rest.”
And the bomb in her went off. None of them knew if a baby was on its way, and he was already acting neurotic. “No! I’m a straight-A student, and I have much more to achieve! I can’t skip any classes, so I need to be there and focus.”
Eyes all dark, Xi Chenxiao’s eyes glided back to her stomach. “Well, if you want to, you could…”
Su Jin nodded. She typed, “Thanks, man. I’ll be off.”
Something glistened over his eyes. “I’m not finished. Don’t get your hopes up yet. Hear me out.”
Her expression did a complete 180. What the f*ck? Was he kidding?
“You could go back to class if you sleep with me, starting today.” Then, Xi Chenxiao placed Su Jin on the car seat, his lips curling up into a mere hint of a smile.

Su Jin stared at him wide-eyed. What the hell? “Something’s not right. Why do I have to sleep with you to go to school? There’s no correlation.”
Xi Chenxiao couldn’t care less about the logic behind it. “I don’t need a reason for that.”
Shoot. Su Jin almost forgot who he was: the devil. Why would he ever think about how she felt?
“Come to a decision yet?” he questioned when she kept her mouth shut.
Su Jin bit her lip. She didn’t have enough time to think about it yet.
And while she gave him another silent treatment, he spoke slowly this time, “If you refuse to sleep with me, you have to start staying at home today onwards until day forty.” Before she could respond, he ordered Xi Tian to drive them back to the manor.
Without wasting any time, the engine came to life. And they were on the road.
When he looked her way, the woman in his arms remained biting her lip, face turned red and eyes watery. A red rose. Seductive, it was as if she was inviting him in for a taste on her lips.
Desire burned. Every part of Xi Chenxiao burned. How could she be that tempting? She wasn’t interested in any women, but this mute—he could never control himself, especially that very night in bed.
Just as he was zoning out, a robotic voice came from Su Jin’s phone. “Say, if I were to agree, I’ll have to sleep on the same bed with you for forty days? And after we do another ultrasound, then I’ll return to my room?”
Her question brought the atmosphere from heaven to hell. The temperature in the confined space dropped beyond the freezing point as if they were in the North Pole, and both Su Jin and Xi Tian were trapped beneath the ice in the frozen ocean, engulfed by darkness.
The silence was eerie. Xi Tian wiped the cold sweat off him, praying hard that his boss wouldn’t notice him.. To his best attempt, he kept himself inconspicuous.
