But the next second, Chuxia felt her jaw tighten. Shi Che pinched her chin with his long fingers, forcing her to lift her face. His dark eyes swept over her face, deep, mysterious, and sharp as if he could see through all her thoughts. Chuxia's heartbeat intensified even more, wanting to evade Shi Che's gaze, yet not daring to. Her expression tightened, and her hands unconsciously gripped even tighter.
Shi Che looked at her coldly, his thin lips parted slightly as he repeated each word deliberately, "Do you really not want children anymore?"
Chuxia had always carried out Mrs. Shi's tasks without hesitation, never once defying them, even though he loathed her so much, forcing her to take medicine every time. Yet, she had never thought of giving up, but now she suddenly said she didn't want children?
Chuxia knew that Shi Che wouldn't easily believe her; it wouldn't be so easy to get past this hurdle, so she had to stand strong and not reveal any flaws.
