Unlike the previous sudden kiss, Su Yayan did not run away after the kiss this time. Instead, she looked at the person in front of her seriously after their lips parted.

Her slightly red eyes were filled with complexity, heartache, and deep love, but there was no regret or hesitation as Huo Chenhuan had thought.

"I don't regret this, so don't think you can push me away just like that. It's just not having kids! So what? It's no big deal! Besides, how do you know whether I love children or not?"

Su Yayan looked like a cat whose line had been crossed, her fur standing on end, striking a fierce and imposing look. However, her red eyes and the look of heartache within them betrayed her.

"Who do you think you are? Are you not going to tell me anything? Are you going to carry all your burdens alone and make decisions for me without consulting me at all? How do you know what I really want and how do you know that I'll definitely regret this? You... You've gone too far."

Toward the end, Su Yayan unconsciously sobbed between her words. Her stomach was in knots not just for the man in front of her, but also for the man in her previous life who, because of his inferiority complex, and because he cared so much for her, could not even tell her that he loved her out loud until he died. He was the person who she regretted having missed out on.

"I..." When Huo Chenhuan saw Su Yayan break into tears, the stoic facade that he had built for himself after years of difficulty collapsed in an instant. He was completely flustered, which was rare for him. "No, I'm not— I didn't... I just saw how much you liked it."

Su Yayan was stunned. "It? What are you talking about?"

Huo Chenhuan's gaze abruptly fell on the silly, confused little corgi in her arms. It was clear what he meant.

Su Yayan was both angry and amused. "What's the connection between liking it and liking children? Are you saying people who like pets must like children? They're not the same thing at all."

Huo Chenhuan looked at her without saying anything and he knew very well that the issue was not as hopeful as she showed.

Since Su Yayan was still young, it was normal for her to not want children now, but who could guarantee that she would still think the same way after a decade or so?

When the time came, would she blame him for depriving her of the right to be a mother?

When he thought of that possibility, the unhappiness that Huo Chenhuan suppressed after great difficulty surged back up against his will. He wished he could lock Su Yayan away, not let her see anyone nor have contact with anyone so that he could have her all to himself.

Even if she regretted it, he was never going to leave her, even if it meant dragging her to hell with him!

The violent and ruthless intent in Huo Chenhuan's eyes passed fleetingly, but it was quickly suppressed.

'You can't lose control! You can't lose control!' The person in front of him was the one line that no one would cross. He would rather kill himself before he touched a strand of her hair.

Su Yayan was not aware of Huo Chenhuan's inner struggle, but she could guess what his concerns were.

"I actually do want children and I do want your children. But you have to be clear that what I mean is you'll always come first before children. If it's not a child with you, I'd rather not have one at all."

Huo Chenhuan's heart shook fiercely and he felt all the hidden darkness at the bottom of his heart instantly get dissolved by Su Yayan's words.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore." When Su Yayan saw that his expression looked better, she was slightly relieved and mischievously said, "If you really want a baby, we have one right here!"

When Su Yayan said that, she fished up the plump little dog in her arms and held it toward Huo Chenhuan. "Here, Dun Dun, meet your daddy. Say Daddy, come on, say daddy."

Dun Dun's black grape-like dog eyes were confused. "Ruff?"

Huo-new-baby-daddy-Chenhuan, "..." It was not like he could refuse.
