CHAPTER 774: CHAPTER 777 WHY DID YOU HIT HIM?

Kissing her intently, Chu Lian’s hands began to roam again, traveling across her back as his kisses shifted from her lips to her cheeks, ears, and down her neck.

Wang Xiangxiang herself was kissed into oblivion, almost ready to give in when suddenly Chu Lian pushed her away.

In his eyes was nothing but affection as he grasped Wang Xiangxiang’s shoulders and managed to say, "My lady, I’m sorry, I just forgot about our son again."

Chu Lian was on the verge of tears, how did he fail at the first hurdle, resulting in him now being unable to eat what he desired, only able to look but not touch—he was utterly frustrated.

Seeing Chu Lian like this, Wang Xiangxiang felt helpless too. Every time he endured the hardship for her and the child, her heart ached for him; she also felt lucky to have found such a loving man. But was it really okay for him to always be like this? Wouldn’t he develop some issues from the restraint?

"Husband," she called out to him with a tinge of heartache.

He let out an awkward laugh, took Wang Xiangxiang’s hand, and they both sat on the edge of the kang. His hand rested on Wang Xiangxiang’s belly and, with a dazed look in his eyes, he feigned a strict tone, "Son, don’t you think you’re being too well-behaved now, too ’An Quan’, just wait till you come out, Dad’s going to give you a good spanking first thing, okay?"

Wang Xiangxiang frowned, puzzled as to why he suddenly wanted to spank the child, "Why would you hit him?"

Chu Lian looked up, his gaze meeting Wang Xiangxiang’s, "If not him, who else? He’s the one causing trouble for mom and dad."

"Pfft, haha," Wang Xiangxiang couldn’t help but laugh at Chu Lian’s remark. "If you dare hit him, I dare hit you, and then you’ll really have nothing to eat later."

"..." Chu Lian felt helpless; how could he have forgotten that his wife had recently acquired a new skill—hitting him.

He had a bad feeling that Xiangxiang’s love would be divided with their son, and the mother and child would certainly be in cahoots. It seemed that the only proper course was to bribe his son; he touched Wang Xiangxiang’s belly and said, "Son, Dad misspoke just now, I won’t spank you, but when you come out, you must side with Dad, okay? Say some good words about me in front of your mom."

"..." Chu Lian’s behavior left Wang Xiangxiang somewhere between laughter and tears; how did she feel like she had gained another son?

"Son, when you come out, you’ll train with Dad, and we’ll protect your mom together so no one can bully her, okay?"

"When you’re out, you must listen to your mom, you can’t be naughty or cause trouble, and don’t make your mom angry."

"Your mom can be quite fierce, you know."

"..."

"..."

There sat Chu Lian, chatting with his son.

Listening to him, Wang Xiangxiang’s frown deepened. Was she really that fierce? She had always been quite the demure lady. Then her lips curved into a broad smile, "Husband, am I really as fierce as you say?"

Only then did Chu Lian realize that Xiangxiang’s smile was quite unnervingly eerie, probably because he had upset her. He quickly put on a smiling face, "How could that be? My wife is not fierce at all; she is the gentlest woman in the world, adorable when she smiles, exceptionally charming, and, oh yes, my wife is also a woman of talent, incomparable to anyone else..."

"Pfft, haha." Hearing Chu Lian applauding her in so many different ways, Wang Xiangxiang burst out laughing, "Husband, am I really as good as you say?"

"Of course, if you weren’t good, why would I have married you? My standards are very high; I wouldn’t settle for just any wealthy lady," Chu Lian said with a smile.

"Yeah right, as if you were such a catch."

"Whether or not I’m a catch, don’t you know?"
