Most people either return to their hometowns or celebrate the New Year at home. As for Lu Jueyu, she was very busy working overtime during the New Year. It had been years since she last enjoyed the festival.
Li Chenmo found that his wife was lost in thought as she looked at the children. A thought flashed through his mind and his eyes lit up. He came closer to her and asked, "Wife, do you like children?"
After hearing his words, Lu Jueyu came back to her senses and said, "En, they are adorable and lively."
"Then do you want to have our own child?" he asked again.
"Of course I do. Who doesn’t want to have a child of their own?" As soon as she said this, she froze, and her cheeks turned red instantly.
Li Chenmo chuckled and said in a low voice, "In that case, let’s have a baby before next year. Wife, we have to work hard."
After hearing his words, Lu Jueyu’s mind went blank and she looked at him with wide eyes.
’He… how could he say such a thing in public? What if people overheard their conversation and reported their indecent behavior to the officers?’
Although she complained in her heart, Lu Jueyu could not refute his words at all. After all, they are husband and wife. It’s normal for them to do the marital act and have children of their own. Her soul is already 24 years old but her body is only 17 years old. She didn’t want to have a baby when her body was still so young.
Not only this will affect her health, but she’s also not ready to be a mother yet.
When Li Chenmo noticed her hesitation, his eyes dimmed, and he said with a smile, "Wife if you don’t want to, I can wait for you. Don’t feel pressured by this."
After Lu Jueyu heard what he said, it would be a lie to say she was not moved. She knew that, as a young and healthy man, her husband had physical needs. Not to mention her feelings for him, as his wife, it is also her obligation to fulfill his needs. What’s more, suppressing it for too long is not good for his body.
After a long time, Lu Jueyu finally said in a low voice, "It’s not that I don’t want to do that. It’s just that I’m not ready to be a mother yet. I’m still too young to have children."
This time, Li Chenmo was stunned by her words. It took him a full minute to register her words in his mind. He suddenly smiled happily and said, "Wife, I will let you decide when to have children. As for that matter… When will you allow me to do it?"
Lu Jueyu was speechless by his shameless question and felt her face burning. She didn’t want to pursue the topic anymore and said, "We’ll see. It depends on how you behave."
After sitting down, Chen Anwen walked into the living room carrying a plate of snacks and a pot of tea. She poured them a cup of tea and placed the snacks on the table.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lu Jueyu said with a smile.
Chen Anwen just nodded to her and returned to the kitchen. Many guests came to visit since early in the morning so she was very busy. In addition to Father Lu and Mother Lu’s family, the Chen family and the Wang family also came to visit as in-laws.
Although their daughter rarely returns to her parents’ home, the Chen and Wang families have a close relationship with the Lu family. The matriarch of the Chen family is Mother Lu’s close friend, and the patriarch of the Wang family is Father Lu’s maternal cousin. Their relationship grew closer through marriage between their children.
"Jueyu, you have been married for a while. Is there any good news?" a middle-aged woman suddenly asked.
After asking this question, she looked at Li Chenmo from head to toe, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. People in the village are always talking about it. Everyone knows that because of Li Chenmo’s serious injury, Lu Jueyu’s chance of getting pregnant is very low. In this aspect, he is as good as a cripple.
When Mother Lu heard her distant cousin ask this question, she felt unhappy and frowned. Everyone knew that his son-in-law had been seriously injured before. Although he’s much better now, he’s not completely healed yet.
