Old Mr. Rong was clearly urging for them to give birth as soon as possible. Luo Anning clenched her fists tightly together and remained silent.

If Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua were to find out that they had never consummated their two-year marriage until that night of misunderstandings, would they fly into a rage?

Just as she was about to stick to the principle of silence being gold, Rong Yan surprisingly gave her an out. “Grandpa, Anning is still young. She’s not ready for children yet. We’re still young, we don’t have to be so eager about bearing children.”

“Anning is still young but you’re almost 30 years old, rascal. Is that young?” Old Mr. Rong rebuked while trying to hit Rong Yan with his cane. Rong Yan arrogantly avoided it and immediately remained silent.

Luo Anning thought to herself awkwardly, Rong Yan is only 27 years old, there is quite some time before he turns 30. I am not opposed to giving birth now but I will only give birth to the child of a man I love.

She and Rong Yan were just strangers who were bound to a marriage by law. They did not have any feelings for each other, not one shred.

It was rather ridiculous to give birth to a stranger’s child.

Seeing that Old Mr. Rong was rattling on and on about looking forward to having a great-grandchild, Jiang Peihua decided to give him a hand. She chimed in and they began talking about children.

As the head of the family, Old Mr. Rong made his final decision. He demanded that Luo Anning give birth to a child by the end of the year. Otherwise, he would take away all of Rong Yan’s shares of Baina International. Rong Yan would only get them back after the birth of his child.

It was undoubtedly a bolt out of the blue and a bomb that seemed to have exploded within Rong Yan.

Rong Yan rubbed the tip of his nose uncomfortably and left the room with the excuse of being tired. Just as Luo Anning was about to speak, Jiang Peihua told her to go get some rest. Actually, she knew what her mother-in-law’s intentions were.

She undoubtedly just wanted to have a grandchild as soon as possible. However, given how things were between her and Rong Yan now… it was actually a tall order.

She returned to the bedroom to discover that Rong Yan was taking a shower. She smirked smugly.

Although the memories of last night were rather vague, Rong Yan’s figure was the best that she had ever seen.

Realizing what she was thinking about, she suddenly patted her face and muttered, “Luo Anning, what are you thinking about… ”

Since he was in the shower, she decided to take a bath in the guest room. Luo Anning grabbed some clean clothes from the closet and got ready to go out. To her surprise, she caught sight of Uncle Zhang standing by the door, thus giving her a great shock.

Not expecting that the door would open all of a sudden. Uncle Zhang immediately coughed awkwardly. “Young Madam, it’s so late. Aren’t you going to get some rest?”

“I’m going to the guest room… ” (to take a shower)

Before she could even finish, Uncle Zhang stared at her sternly and chided, “Young Madam, how can you sleep in a different room from Young Master Rong? Old Mr. Rong is going to be furious if he finds out. It’s been a long time since he hoped to have a great-grandchild. Are you and Young Master Rong out to anger him?”

Luo Anning pressed a hand on her forehead. Just as she was about to speak, a moist hand pulled her into his embrace.

There was still some water on Rong Yan’s chest and a towel wrapped around his waist. He smelled fresh and fragrant. Staring at Uncle Zhang who had been sent by Old Mr. Rong, he smiled and said, “Uncle Zhang, it’s getting late. Go and get some rest. It’s time for me and Anning to sleep too.”
