Lu Jinshen paused and said in a low voice, "Qiao 'er, we just got our marriage certificate and you're already saying that word. I really don't like it. Is marriage a child's play in your eyes?"
Tong Qiao only blurted it out because she was anxious. She regretted it as soon as she said it. She shouldn't have said that word casually, but she didn't want to admit defeat. She said in a low voice, "Who told you to use force?"
"You're not allowed to say that word in the future!"
Tong Qiao thought to herself that she definitely wouldn't say it casually in the future, but she didn't want to admit defeat. "It's none of your business. Now, get off me."
Lu Jinshen could tell from Tong Qiao's expression that she didn't mean what she said, so he didn't pursue the matter. "I agreed to let you get off not because I don't want to sleep with you, but because I don't think you can satisfy me. I want to do it myself. I said that I'll sleep with you until you can't get off the bed. How can I let you off so easily?"
Tong Qiao's unhappiness dissipated instantly, but she still turned her face away awkwardly. "Who wants to sleep with you?"
"You don't want to sleep with me, but I want to sleep with you." Lu Jinshen knew what Tong Qiao was upset about. He placed his large hand on her red cheeks and turned her face so that they were facing each other. His voice was low and hoarse. "I've never slept with Yufei. You're my first woman and will also be my last."
Tong Qiao's eyes instantly lit up, but the next second, she thought of something and the light in her eyes faded. "Lu Jinshen, what's the point of lying to me like this?"
Lu Jinshen's well-defined fingers gently played with Tong Qiao's short hair on her forehead. "I'm not lying to you."
Tong Qiao grabbed Lu Jinshen's hand. "You said that you've never slept with Sheng Yufei. Then tell me, where did Ziqian come from? Could it be that Sheng Yufei can give birth to a child by herself? "
"Ziqian is Zihua's child."
Tong Qiao was stunned. "What did you say?"
"In order to remember Zihua, I also named Ziqian with the word 'Zi'. When I married Yufei, she was already more than a month pregnant."
Tong Qiao blinked twice. "So Lu Ziqian isn't your child, but Xu Zihua's?"
"Yes."
"Are you and Sheng Yufei not husband and wife?"
"Yes."
Tong Qiao didn't seem to believe him and asked again, "Never?"
Lu Jinshen said with a straight face, "Never."
"Ah!" Tong Qiao screamed happily. She hugged Lu Jinshen's neck and kissed him hard on the lips. She wasn't satisfied after kissing him, so she kissed his forehead, cheeks, eyelids, nose tip, jaw, lips … everywhere. "You're mine and mine alone. You're clean and pure. This is great news."
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao's bright smile and the corners of his mouth curved up. "I'm sorry for hiding it from you for so long."
Tong Qiao said generously, "It's okay. As long as you're mine alone, it's fine. But then again, why did you hide it from me?"
Lu Jinshen buried his head in Tong Qiao's neck. His nose was filled with the faint fragrance of her hair and body.
He was silent for a long while before his faint voice slowly sounded, "After Zihua's sacrifice, Zihua's parents couldn't take the blow of having to send off their child. Both of them fell ill. After I took care of Zihua's funeral, I went to the hospital to visit the two elders. The two elders told me that Yufei was pregnant. I promised to take good care of Yufei and take care of them as their son.
Even though his parents understood that swords have no eyes on the battlefield and didn't have any complaints about me, they were worried about the child in Yufei's stomach. If the child was born fatherless, wouldn't others look down on him and make fun of him in the future?
When they were alive, they could still dote on their grandson. But after they died, Yufei was still so young and would remarry sooner or later. What would happen to the child then?
They begged me to marry Sheng Yufei so that the child in her stomach could rightfully become a child of the Lu Family. "
Lu Jinshen rubbed his head against Tong Qiao's neck and kissed her earlobe before continuing, "I felt guilty towards Zihua. As long as I could make it up to him, I would agree to anything. But at that time, Yufei was unwilling. She loved Zihua deeply and said that she could stay single for the rest of her life and raise the child well.
Later on, his parents did a lot of thinking for Yufei and almost knelt down to beg her before she finally agreed.
In order not to hinder me and Yufei, his parents said that after five years of marriage, we could divorce if there was no love between us anymore. As long as the child had a family, they would be at ease. "
Tong Qiao listened to his story quietly and digested it after a while. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"On the one hand, I wanted to test if you were sincere to me. If you didn't want me because of the child, then I wouldn't want you either. But you were very good to Ziqian and almost had a miscarriage because of him. At that time, I told myself that I must have you."
"Tsk!" Tong Qiao pursed her lips. "So you were trying to find a mother for Ziqian."
Lu Jinshen got up from Tong Qiao's neck with a sincere expression. "In the past, this was indeed my standard for finding a partner. As long as the other party could accept Ziqian, I would marry her.
When your father proposed the marriage to me, he knew about my family situation and I knew your father's character. That was why I agreed to this marriage.
But I only agreed. Later on, I planned to bring Ziqian along to meet you and test your love for the child before making the final decision.
But I didn't expect that before that step, you would sleep with me. Everything after that was out of my control. "
Tong Qiao asked, "You just said one thing. What was the other thing?"
"On the other hand, I promised Zihua's parents that I wouldn't tell anyone about this for the rest of my life."
Tong Qiao's slender fingers ran through Lu Jinshen's short hair at the back of his head. The hard stubble passed through her palm and it was very sexy. She repeated this action. "Then why did you tell me?"
"I was afraid that if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't sleep with me in the future."
Tong Qiao reached out and poked Lu Jinshen's hard chest. "Lu Jinshen, you are so shameless. You broke your promise just to be shameless."
"You little heartless girl. Didn't I do it for you?" Lu Jinshen grabbed Tong Qiao's finger and bit it gently. "Don't you know how jealous you were just now?"
Tong Qiao pecked the corner of Lu Jinshen's mouth and said seriously, "Don't worry. I will definitely treat Ziqian as my own."
"I believe you. I've said what I needed to say. Can we continue now?" Lu Jinshen said and pressed his lips down.
"Wait." Tong Qiao pressed his lips. "Ziqian still doesn't know about his background, right?"
"Yes, he always thought that he was my and Yufei's child."
Tong Qiao remembered that Lu Ziqian had once asked her if she would have stayed if he wasn't Lu Jinshen's child.
Perhaps he already knew about his background? But Lu Jinshen was so tight-lipped. Sheng Yufei wanted to be with Lu Jinshen, so it was even more impossible for her to tell the truth …
"What's wrong?" Lu Jinshen asked when he saw Tong Qiao's thoughtful expression.
