"Really…" Lory softly said.

"Don't you believe me?" he stroke the back of her head, his bluish wavy hair is so so smooth and silky he was mesmerized by it.

​​

"What if…..what if I can't give you a baby?" she faintly said.

Zhao Li Xin push her lightly, he holds both her shoulders "What's wrong, is there something with your health?" he worriedly asked.

Lory thought he must be disappointed by the news, her swollen eyes become teary again "No, it's not like that….I'm sorry?"

Zhao Li Xin doesn't understand why she apologizes to him "Why you say you sorry?"

"I don't know if I can give you baby or not but if you want a baby….I…..maybe you should find another…." Lory choked on her tears, she doesn't want to lose him but she doesn't want to deprive his chance to be a father either, her heart is breaking and imminent pain show in her lovely face.

"Lorient Jean Frau Lucient, you dare to push me to another woman!" Zhao Li Xin shouted furiously "Why do I need a baby who is not yours!" he can't believe lory will have a heart watching him with other women doesn't she love him!

Lory was dumbfounded her tears suddenly stop because Zhao Li Xin, her big beautiful purple eyes blinks innocently "You…you asked me if I want children or not?" Lory feel wronged, why he angry at him? She feel more depressed tears start flowing from her eyes again, she look more pitiful and Zhao Li Xin heart immediately become soft, he was regret shouting at her.

Zhao Li Xin messaged his temples then he sighs "I just don't want you to leave me, I thought if we have baby you will never think about leaving me" he finally confesses his pettiness.

Lory froze there so many questions raised in her head "Why I want to leave you…..?"

"Uhm..." he also doesn't have the answer.

"...." Lory fixed her gaze at him as she waiting for a good reply.

Zhao Li Xin was embarrassed he awkwardly clears his throat "Because I'm stupid…" he bravely admits it.

Their eyes locked to each other than a second later they're laughs burst, It's the first time Zhao Li Xin felt this stupid he can't help laughing himself, Lory also thought she was stupid, how could she think the man who don't even like being stared at by other women would let himself being touch intimately by them that was impossible. The room filled with laughter the two of them realizes how stupid they are, Lory laughs heartily at the same time she wiped the remains of her tears, just like that her sadness is wiped away by Zhao Li Xin foolishness.

Zhao Li Xin lift her up and put her on his lap then he wiped the tears on her cheeks with his thumb after he saw no tears remnant on her cheeks he rest his head on the top of Lory's head "Is that why you angry with me this morning…" he obviously in a good mood.

Lory blushed from embarrassment "I thought you will leave me…"

"Stupid!" he chides her but his word fill with indulgent, he was delighted knowing Lory didn't want to lose him.

"You are no better" she pretend to be angry and hit his chest softly.

"True…" he chuckles lightly. Zhao Li Xin must admit he was being silly since the day he knew her, isn't Mong Yi secretly say that behind his back "Listen carefully Lory, the one I want is you, always was and always will, kids it's doesn't matter for me the truth is I never thought I would marry with someone, so please keep in check your wild thought"

"Sorry…" she rest her head on his sturdy chest, her finger play with Zhao Li Xin sleeves as she contemplated then said "The truth is I don't know if I could give you baby or not…but even if I could it wouldn't as easy as any other women"

"You mean we must give twice for the hard work?" he questions her.

Lory pursed her lips "I guess so…"

Mischievous glint flash on his eyes "So we have to try harder?"

Lory didn't notice the playful tones on his words, she was still on a daze "I think so…"

"So this Lord has to work harder to achieve his goal, don't worry my dear princess this Lord will not slacking and works two …no tree time harder, I will make sure there's no time to waste!" he smiles so brightly than the golden room becomes dulled.

"Huh?"

'Wait, I don't think is a good thing suddenly she feel chill on her back.

Meanwhile, outside the ring everything is in a messed, everyone searching for Zhao Li Xin and the cause for the who;e courtyard burn to the ground, everyone thought he has provoked some expert and targeting, many also thought it probably because he served the Nan and fourth Xie so someone displeased and killed him instead.

Mo Ning Yuan heart stirred by the sudden incident, although she hated Zhao Li Xin, but there's a part of her who doesn't want him to get hurt, she dispatches her subordinated to make sure if Zhao Li Xin alive or die, of course, the subordinated wish nothing but Zhao Li Xin death, jealousy is frankly shown in his eyes.

On the other hand, Nan's family tranquility suddenly breaks. Nan Yu Qi awoke by sudden hot and itch on her faces, she can't stop scratching her face, out of nowhere her faces suddenly covered with a red rash and acne.

Nan Yu Qi screaming in panic and her maids run from her room frantically searching for help, immediately they called Nan yu Qi Father, her father petrified when he saw what happened to his beautiful daughter, he summoned the physician to treat her daughter at all cost.

What worried him the most is because of her daughter's engagement with Xie Hua Ling, he worries she would disgust Xie Hua Ling and make him annulled their engagement, no matter how talented or strong woman is appearance is the most important things, what the used to have a talented but ugly daughter.

nan Yu Qi is crying in her room, she doesn't want to be an ugly woman, she scared she would be shunned by everyone, Nan yu Qi would never have thought this all because she challenged a certain Lord bottom line over and over again. Thankfully Zhao Li Xin still has the decency not to make her face ruined permanently but enough to make her uncomfortable for a month.

Zhao Li Xin leniency not coming from his good heart. it because he worry Lory would disagree with his action, because Nan Yu Qi mistake is only trying separated Lory from Zhao Li Xin by humiliated her and gives her verbal warning, his kind princess will not agree to hurt the young maiden face for a little mistake although Zhao Li Xin didn't think Nan Yu Qi mistake is little.

While everything falls in chaos, in Fu Yun restaurant on the top floor, the infamous Zhao Li Xin is leisurely sitting on his couch with a beautiful lady having a feast with steamed dumpling, the sunlight touches her dark hair give a hue blue color on her hair, her wavy hair covers her chest neatly accentuated her snowy skin. Her soft pink lips move incessantly while she looks at him with her bright beautiful purple eyes "This dumpling is amazing, it's better than any dumpling I eat before!" she excitedly said.

She doesn't realize a certain Lord admired her beauty without a blink for an hour, he patted her head at one hand and sip his wine on the other hand. "I'm glad you like it"

Lory has no idea how big the commotion outside but she decide to put aside the problem for a while and give herself a break inside the Fu Yun restaurant's new building, courtesy of the young master Xie Hua Ling. Xie Hua Ling is indeed capable, he giving the largest and most luxurious building on the main street, he really hopes to gain big profit from Fu Yun, if only he know he just invited dozens of Hei Shen people inside his courtyard he might die from anger.

Lory finishes her meal, slowly she wiped her mouth from extra oil with a clean cloth then she shifts her glance at Zhao Li Xin "What should we do with this commotion" Zhao Li Xin outburst is something she not prepare.

"I take care of it…" Zhao Li Xin rests his head on the couch, he closed his eyes after he takes another sip of wine.

Lory slightly upset with Zhao Li Xin's unconcern attitude, he acted as if it was not a big deal while Lory was secretly anxious what would have happened with their plan "You should not burn the whole courtyard " Lory pursed her lips.

Zhao Li Xin smirked "You should not leaved without notice" he retorts calmly.

'My bad then..' Lory click her tongued in upset.

Princess: 0 – Lord:1

But the stubborn princess still not give in "You should not overreact next time" she scolded him.

"There be next time?" he squints his eyes, he warns her not to make the same mistake again.

Lory pouts her lips silently admitting her fault.

Princess: 0 – Lord:2

"You…you reaction is too extreme, you have to learn to minimalize your action!" she crosses her arms as she points his mistake.

Zhao Li Xin, not even open his eyes, obviously enjoys their sweet bickering, if only she knows her scolding is like music in her ears Lory would have stopped making a fuss from the get-go.

Slowly he open his eyes "This Lord admitted it that his love is way too extremes but this Lord didn't know how to minimalize his feeling, hope your highness be lenient" his voice is low and husky, he smiles dazzlingly while kissing her hand so gently, Lory thought feel an arrow thrust her heart, a sudden hotness rush to her face make her face completely red just like a ripe tomato.

Princess: K.O – Lord: WIN
