Taking out his handkerchief, Guiren nearly placed it on the couch and asked Meili to sit down.

When she gave him a weird look, he added, "What? Do you have any idea how many germs and dirt particles might be sitting on the couch? I can't let you sit on something dirty." ​​

Without waiting for her, he grabbed her shoulder and made her sit on the couch. He then sat beside her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder. "Hmm so now why don't you tell me what my mom told you?"

Resting her forehead on his shoulder, Meili sighed. She knew what Guiren was trying to do but she didn't want him to shame his mother like that. She knew that his mother deserved it but she hated being the reason behind their differences.

"Hmm my wife is very nice so I doubt she will say anything so why don't you tell me why is she unwillingly invited here?" Looking at his mother, he added, "You better have a good reason for doing that."

Clenching her hand into a fist, mother Zhang gritted her teeth. Guiren had never questioned or used such a disrespectful tone while talking to her in the past but he completely changed after Meili barged into his life. Not only was she the reason behind Guiren leaving the house and his parents but according to mother Zhang, Meili was also manipulating her son against them.

She would've never allowed Meili to step into the mansion but she had no other choice. The constant family pressure of handing over the company's position which Guiren was supposed to take over from his father to someone else who was considered to be as good as Guiren kept on increasing.

They didn't want someone else to take over the company when they already had a capable son so mother Zhang decided to talk to Meili but she never intended to accept her. She just wanted to use her to lure Guiren into the company and maybe she will accept Meili if she gives the Zhang family its next heir.

"It has already been three years since you both got married so I was telling her to give this family a little boy who can be trained in the future to—"

Cutting her off, Guiren raised his eyebrows, "Who said that we want to have a baby? And even if we have one, who said it will be a boy?" Turning towards Meili, he smiled and said, "I want a cute little daughter who is as beautiful as my wife."

"You—"

"But we have our own plans for a baby and other things so I don't think so we need any outsiders advice over this."

"I am your mother." Mother Zhang shouted.

"Then you should learn how to act like one too. Your actions and your role do not match." Guiren snapped before grabbing Meili's hand and getting up.

"Where is your shopping bag?" He asked before looking around.

"It's with your mom."

When he saw the bag lying on the floor near his mother, he chuckled, "Did she detain you after taking that bag from you? Geez, what a baby."

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he added, "I'll get that back okay because we need it tonight."

Walking towards his mother, Guiren picked up the bag from the floor. "Taking this back because I don't think so it will fit you mom."

Without waiting for her reply, he walked out the mansion along with Meili.

…..

Inside the car

Intertwining their hands together, Guiren kissed her knuckles. "I am sorry for that, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

"It's not your fault."

"Don't think about what she said okay? She talks nonsensical things all the time. Sometime I feel like she is going crazy."

"I am tired honey, take me home." Meili said before placing her head on his shoulder.

Pressing her lips on her forehead, he started the engine and drove away.

…..

Guiren and Meili's place.

As soon as they entered the mansion, Meili wrapped her arms around his waist and sighed.

"What is it babe?"

Burying her face on his chest, she said, "Let's have a baby."

"Where did that come from?" Guiren asked.

"I don't know, I just feel like we should have one."

"I don't want to have one."

Meili frowned and asked, "Why not?"

Pulling away, he sat down on the couch and made her sit in his lap. "I don't wanna have one because I know you also don't want one right now."

Caressing her cheeks, he added, "Look Mei, I know why you suddenly want to have a baby but let me tell you one thing, even if you give them a grandson every year, they will never accept you or think highly of you. They are trying to use you to lure me into the company because they know that you are my only weakness and I will always listen to you."

"My parents are weird people who only care about the society and what others might think of them if they did something and their ego is very big to accept their son's choice. So the best thing that we can do is ignore them. And what do they take you as? A baby producing machine or something like that? I want to have a baby when we both want to and not because of a third person forcing us to have one." He continued.

Brushing her fingers against his collar, she said, "I thought that if a baby can fix everything between you and your parents then why not?"

"Uh huh, not at all ready to share you with anyone."

Meili chuckled and said, "It has already been three years."

Scooping her into his arms, Guiren shook his head, "I don't think so I am ready to share your attention with anyone yet."

"And what if I get pregnant anyway?" She asked.

"Well, if it slips out even after using protection, that baby is gonna be so cool."
