My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me - Chapter 981 - Chapter 981 Chapter 983 Cold War (5)

Chapter 981: Chapter 983: Cold War (5) Chapter 981: Chapter 983: Cold War (5) Perhaps it was because that sentence was too suggestive, or perhaps it was because he was right by her ear at that moment, but Lu Weixi’s ears turned slightly red.

Now, when Qin Zhiyou was with her, the two of them had developed an understanding, and it wasn’t necessary to exaggerate in speech, nor would she reject his proximity.

Such words seemed to transport her back to the time after they got married when they repelled each other.

But how was she to respond to Qin Zhiyou’s words?

“I…” She felt a bit shy and at a loss for words, and even more clueless about how to reply.

She took a small step backward to escape his ‘attack.’ Only when she had put a slight distance between them did she feel that oppressive presence on her shoulder lighten a little.

However, to Qin Zhiyou, that small step she took back narrowed his eyes slowly.

His arm had already been extended halfway out. Ever since they reconciled, Lu Weixi wouldn’t refuse him in this regard; his arm was meant to wrap around her slender waist.

But when she stepped back, it seemed as though it drained the strength from his arm.

Lu Weixi, now that she had created some distance, finally began to recover her senses. She felt more confident now, and understood Qin Zhiyou far better than during their cold-war days. She had seen some success in her work; though it didn’t bring riches, it was no longer like before, when a month’s earnings could hardly cover her mother’s medical bills.

While she still couldn’t fully grasp Qin Zhiyou’s subtleties, she was beginning to empathize with him a little more–his anger, his sadness, his happiness, his disappointment. She was gradually learning to treat him as her husband, not the ATM that withdrew tens of thousands each month.

But she couldn’t be impulsive about this matter, and marriage wasn’t something to be taken lightly. They could plan this out carefully.

Lu Weixi frowned slightly as she took a small step back, “This timing is negotiable. We’re husband and wife, not enemies or competitors. If the timing you propose doesn’t align with my initial plan, then we can talk about it. For instance, a year from now. By then, I’ll have nearly finished my Ph.D., and I can make adjustments at work. Mom’s situation should have stabilized by then, too. You need to give me some time to plan. After all, it’s a child, not a toy or a pet; it requires a lot of effort. And I suspect that Cai Yiren’s pregnancy may have complications; even if the baby is born, it might not turn out as they expect. Even if they plan to try again in a year, we will also be preparing by then, so it won’t seem abrupt. The same goes for Qin Zhigu. I understand your urgency and your thoughts, but asking me to drop everything now to try for a baby is something I just can’t do.”

Well said, and the timing seemed well planned.

She had said so much, even reducing the time to one year. In other words, a year from now, they would start preparing for a child, and perhaps the year after, their child would be born.

The plan was indeed good, including consideration for his company. By that time next year, Yang Mogui should be able to accept this timing. After all, a child isn’t a toy; some preparation is needed before bringing it home.

But with all the arrangements and reasons she had given, not a single phrase indicated that she was planning a child out of love, did it?
