Chapter 102: Chapter 102: So Reluctant to Have His Child?She withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "I’m hungry; let’s go down to eat."

    Her words elicited a low chuckle from him.

    "It’s my fault; I tried too hard."

    Lin Xinlan pushed him away angrily, put on her pajamas, and opened the drawer to take out a bottle of pills, spilling one into the palm of her hand.

    She was about to put it in her mouth when Rong Shaoze grabbed her wrist.

    "Wait." Sёar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "What are you doing?" she asked, puzzled.

    Rong Shaoze lazily glanced at the white pill, his lashes lifted lightly, and as his eyes met hers, he said, "Do you always take these?"

    Lin Xinlan felt he was becoming even more incomprehensible. "Of course. Wasn’t it you who told me to take them?"

    "You could try not taking it," he suddenly suggested.

    His words scared Lin Xinlan and even made him pause for a moment.

    Lin Xinlan quickly regained her composure and said with a faint smile, "Do you wish for me to bear your child? Rong Shaoze, don’t be childish."

    She pushed away his hand and quickly stuffed the pill into her mouth, swallowing it without water.

    Seeing her eagerness, it seemed she was very unwilling to bear his child.

    In fact, he didn’t want her to get pregnant with his child either, but her behavior severely bruised his ego...

    Bearing his child, was she that reluctant?!

    Rong Shaoze’s face turned instantly dark as he gripped her wrist and gave a cold laugh, "Lin Xinlan, you are the most heartless woman I have ever met."

    Isn’t there a saying about a day’s marriage bringing a hundred days of grace?

    They had been husband and wife for so long, he had even begun to think it wouldn’t matter if she got pregnant, he had almost acquiesced.

    But her? Not only did she not entertain such thoughts, but she also seemed desperately keen to avoid it.

    He seriously doubted whether her heart was made of stone or iron.

    Either way, both are equally cold and heartless...

    His words left Lin Xinlan stunned for a moment, then she laughed dismissively, flinging off his hand with an equally indifferent tone.

    "Rong Shaoze, that line fits me better when directed at you. You are the most heartless man I’ve ever met. No, you are the most heartless person I’ve ever encountered," she said.

    She slightly tugged the corner of her mouth, showing him a trace of mockery, then turned around and left.

    Rong Shaoze narrowed his eyes slightly, but his lips curved into a hint of amused smile.

    Interesting.

    If the most heartless man meets the most heartless woman, then who will fall for the other first, and who will be the first to be utterly defeated?

    After eating, Lin Xinlan returned to her room to play games. She had already failed three times, simply unable to clear the level.

    She even suspected that the game was designed to be impossible to clear.

    Rong Shaoze’s mother came to the villa in the evening; he had been home every day recently, making it possible to encounter him at any time.

    The mother and son went to the study. After Lao Gu brought them tea and left,

    seated on the sofa, Rong Shaoze’s mother cut to the chase. "I heard you’ve been restraining yourself a lot lately, not going out to fool around and coming home every night. You are doing well in this regard, and your grandfather is a lot happier with you," she said.

    Rong Shaoze leaned on the sofa, smiling lazily.

    "Mom, isn’t this the effect you wanted?" he said.

    Rong Shaoze’s mother nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, this is indeed the effect I wanted, but I am still not completely satisfied.

    If only you had a child. If you did, your grandfather would value you even more.

    I’ve been observing lately; Rong Mingyan indeed has some ability, but he is still too green to swallow Shengjue all by himself. I have already instructed a few Yuan and Lao in your name,
