62 -62: On the Issue of Having Children

Although Ye Xunhuan’s tone had normalized, the crimson in his eyes remained, also carrying a hint of bloodthirstiness.

“I don’t understand the feelings between you brothers and mentors and disciples,” Qiu Shuihan said with lingering fear, looking at Ye Xunhuan: “But I know that they definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this!”

“I know you blame yourself, you feel guilty, but Xunhuan, none of that really had anything to do with you.

Even if you hadn’t left, the outcome might have been the same, or you might even have lost your own life!”

“Perhaps it could have changed!”

Seeing Ye Xunhuan say that, what could Qiu Shuihan do other than sigh?

He knew that the knot in Ye Xunhuan’s heart wasn’t something that could be unraveled so easily, after all, so many lives had been lost for him!

The topic suddenly shifted as Qiu Shuihan spoke: “Your aunt called me a few days ago!”

At the mention of his “aunt,” a warm current immediately ran through Ye Xunhuan’s heart, and his somber expression slowly radiated a different kind of luster: “How is my aunt now?”

“She’s fine, you don’t need to worry about her!” Qiu Shuihan said, looking at Ye Xunhuan’s somewhat unwell expression: “But this state of yours, it’s making your aunt very worried.”

“Your aunt wanted to come see you, but I told her you wanted some quiet time, so she could only call me to inquire about your current state.”

“Dad, I’m fine, just let my aunt know not to worry,” he said.

“You’re ‘fine’ my ass,” Qiu Shuihan said irritably: “Looking like this, you call that ‘fine’?

Just now I barely mentioned the topic, and you were about to fly off the handle.

If other people find out about this matter, use it against you, have you thought about what you would become?”

Ye Xunhuan’s face fell.

“You would become a cold, bloodthirsty, and brutal humanoid killing machine,” said Qiu Shuihan, his tone deeply grave: “By then, no one would be able to save you!”

“Xunhuan, think about it, if you really became that way, how could your mother, your master rest in peace beneath the nine springs?”

“But I…”

“I know it’s hard for you to forget all that,” Qiu Shuihan immediately interrupted Ye Xunhuan: “I’m not trying to make you forget, what I want you to remember is that you must be a bit more rational for me.

Otherwise, it’ll become your fatal weakness.”

“That’s not what anyone wants to see.”

“I will try to restrain myself, try to calm myself down,” Ye Xunhuan said.

“Honestly, a lot of times, your aunt and I want you to be a monk for a while, chant some scriptures, hit a bell, maybe then your heart would quiet down.”

“Dad, if I became a monk, where would you find such a son-in-law?” Ye Xunhuan joked weakly with a forced smile.

“Spare me the nonsense,” Qiu Shuihan snorted coldly: “Xunhuan, do you realize that if you can’t let go, can’t open your heart, you’ll spend the rest of your life in agony?”

“Dad, I will open my heart, I will let it all go, just not now,” Ye Xunhuan said, a fierce look flashing in his eyes: “There’s one more person, once I kill him, only then will everything truly end.”

“Do you know who that person is?”

Ye Xunhuan’s head drooped down instantly, his expression a mix of dejection and unwillingness.

“I’ll find him,” Ye Xunhuan said in a hoarse voice.

At that moment, Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Ruoxi, mother and daughter, walked in from outside.

“Are you two still playing chess?” Xiahou Yutong said gently after seeing the Go board in front of them.

With the arrival of Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Ruoxi, Qiu Shuihan and Ye Xunhuan immediately ended their previous conversation.

“While playing chess, I’ll ask this kid when he plans on giving me a grandson to hold,” Qiu Shuihan huffed.

“Perfect, now that you two are here, let’s all discuss it together!”

Ye Xunhuan was startled.

When did you ever talk to me about a grandson?

This old geezer could lie without even a blush.

Yet, Ye Xunhuan understood why Qiu Shuihan would say this; after all, there are some things that, for now, it’s better if Qiu Ruoxi doesn’t know.

Upon hearing the word “grandson,” Xiahou Yutong’s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, but Qiu Ruoxi, after hearing this, was struck as if by lightning and was dumbfounded on the spot.

Expecting her to have a child, and with this jerk, no less?

“Yes, yes, this is utmost important!

If the two of them had a child, I would have something to do in the future,” Xiahou Yutong said excitedly: “Ruoxi, talk to mom, how do you and Xunhuan plan on this, when do you want children!”

Caught off guard, Qiu Ruoxi hesitated; she and Ye Xunhuan might be married, but they had never lived together, let alone thought about having children.

For a moment, Qiu Ruoxi looked towards Ye Xunhuan with a plea for help in her eyes.

She knew that if she said she didn’t want children, she would definitely get an earful, but it would be different for this jerk. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Her parents doted on him so much, and he was such a good flatterer, perhaps her parents wouldn’t scold him!

But even if they did, that would be better than them scolding her, right?

The saying “better him than me” roughly captures this sentiment.

After catching Qiu Ruoxi’s look, Ye Xunhuan immediately understood the meaning in her eyes and couldn’t help humming to himself.

You say you’d get scolded, do you think I’d be spared?

Think I’ll take this bullet for you?

No chance.

“As long as Ruoxi wants, anytime is fine,” Ye Xunhuan directly threw the hot potato back to Qiu Ruoxi.

Joking aside, Qiu Ruoxi was afraid of getting scolded, but did that mean he wasn’t?

Especially when Qiu Shuihan tells that witch-like aunt of his, who knows what she’ll say about him!

When Qiu Ruoxi heard what Ye Xunhuan said, her eyes widened instantly, and at that moment, her pearly teeth clenched down hard.

She could swear that Ye Xunhuan, that jerk, definitely did it on purpose.

He must feel uncomfortable seeing her not getting scolded.

That jerk, taking advantage of the presence of her parents, suddenly grew a spine stronger than before.

At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi felt a strong urge to slap Ye Xunhuan to death.

Dream on if you think I’ll bear your children!

As soon as Ye Xunhuan spoke, Xiahou Yutong and Qiu Shuihan’s eyes immediately turned towards Qiu Ruoxi.

Feeling the gaze of her parents upon her, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart uncontrollably began to race.

“Ruoxi, tell mom, what do you think?”

“Mom, Xunhuan and I are still young, and we’re both really busy, so we’re planning to wait a while before having…”

“Young my foot, I was already expecting you at your age,”

“Exactly, busy yourselves all you want, but when the child is born, your dad and I will look after it, you don’t have to worry.”
