Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 190 Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up; I definitely won't hurt you in the slightest.

"Okay, okay, at worst we won't get married." Nan Xu said and hung up the phone.

Standing outside the door, Lu Zhiyan felt a tightness in his chest. He thought Nan Xu couldn't live without him, but it seemed he had overestimated Nan Xu's feelings for him.

Nan Xu slammed her laptop shut in frustration, still unsure of Lu Zhiyan's thoughts. She threw back the covers, slipped on her slippers, and went out onto the balcony.

Guai Guai stood on the bed and barked at Nan Xu, but Nan Xu seemed not to hear Guai Guai's barking and simply closed the glass door to the balcony.

She was dressed in thin clothes, wearing only a knee-length off-white knitted sweater, and rested her hands on the cold black railing, looking into the distance.

A biting wind was blowing outside, but she seemed oblivious to it, her long hair billowing in the wind.

Looking at Nan Xu like this, Lu Zhiyan felt a pang of heartache. He couldn't care less about anything else and pushed open the door, striding onto the balcony.

He moved so gently that Nan Xu didn't even have time to react before Lu Zhiyan's black coat was already draped over her shoulders.

Nan Xu turned to look at him, her skin pale from the wind, almost bloodless, but her eyes were red as she looked at Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan looked down at Nan Xu, his eyes filled with heartache. "It's so cold outside, why didn't you wear any clothes? What if you catch a cold?"

He reached out and grasped Nanxu's hand. His fingers turned slightly white. The moment Lu Zhiyan grasped Nanxu's hand, his brows furrowed tightly.

Nanxu's hands felt like they'd been frozen in ice; they were so cold.

"Let's go in first." Lu Zhiyan pushed Nan Xu into the room.

Once in the room, Lu Zhiyan had Nan Xu sit on the bed, helped her take off her slippers, and wrapped her legs and body in the blanket.

He looked at Nan Xu's red eyes, but the blame that was on the tip of his tongue just wouldn't come out.

"Why are you going outside in this cold weather? What's wrong? Why are your eyes red? Did the wind make them red?" Lu Zhiyan reached out and tucked the blanket around Nan Xu.

Nan Xu was touched by Lu Zhiyan's concern for her, but then she remembered Lin Jingshu's words and her heart wavered.

"Lu Zhiyan, if I can't have children, will you still marry me?" Nan Xu asked Lu Zhiyan earnestly.

He was both happy and angry. He was happy that Nan Xu wouldn't hide these things from him, but angry that Nan Xu didn't trust him at all.

Lu Zhiyan sighed helplessly, "If I wanted a child, I had many options. I wouldn't have waited for you for so many years. Nan Xu, do you really not trust me that much? Do you really not acknowledge my feelings for you?"

“I admit I love children, but the mother of a child can only be you. If the mother of a child is not you, then I have no intention or need to have children. What really matters is who the mother of the child is, not the child.”

"I hope he is the fruit of love, not a seed of disgust born from various forms of coercion."

With red eyes, Nan Xu hugged Lu Zhiyan's neck, and Lu Zhiyan hugged Nan Xu's waist in return.

"What if your family doesn't agree?" Nan Xu's voice choked with emotion.

She couldn't abandon her family for the sake of their love affair.

"Isn't that easy to handle? Just say I'm infertile. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. Not even a small pebble can hurt you." Lu Zhiyan patted Nan Xu's back reassuringly.

"Are you kidding me?" Nan Xu was shocked by Lu Zhiyan's idea.

Men are always very concerned about their image, and if others find out about this, they'll say some really nasty things behind their backs.

“I’m not joking, I’m serious. This kind of thing isn’t just something women do, quite a few men do it too, and I wouldn’t mind being one of them.” Nan Xu was about to say something when Lu Zhiyan playfully pinched the soft flesh on Nan Xu’s side.

Nan Xu struggled for a moment, then buried her head in Lu Zhiyan's shoulder.

"Stop saying things I don't want to hear. Marrying you is something I decided when I was eighteen. No matter what happens along the way, the result has to be you."

"By the way, my mom said that my grandparents are coming to my house tomorrow to present the betrothal gifts, so shouldn't we go back earlier?" Nan Xu asked Lu Zhiyan in his ear.

"Okay, we'll go back tomorrow morning. We need to get some rest early tonight. Let's go, let's go down for dinner." With that, Lu Zhiyan let go of Nan Xu.

"I'm not hungry. I still have some work to finish." Nan Xu picked up her laptop from the bed and turned it on.

"Shall I bring you a piece of cake later?" Lu Zhiyan reached out and touched Nan Xu's cheek.

"Thank you then." Nan Xu didn't even look up and continued looking at the computer screen.

Nan Xu finished quickly and carried her baby to the dressing room. Tomorrow was a big day, so she needed to dress up.

In no time, she had put together an outfit for herself: a beige sweater with brown trousers and a burgundy wool coat.

She nodded in satisfaction, thinking of picking out another outfit for Lu Zhiyan. Turning her head to look at Lu Zhiyan's wardrobe, she paused, her hand stroking Guai Guai.

It's all black, white, and gray; what's there to match? We wear the same few things over and over again; there's no need to choose anymore.

"Your dad's clothes are too monotonous, just a few colors, so we don't bother to put together any outfits for him." She muttered to herself as she spoke to her baby, then picked her up and went outside.

After finishing his meal, Lu Zhiyan quickly took a small strawberry cake from the kitchen and went upstairs. Halfway up, fearing that Nanxu would find it too sweet, he took out a cup of yogurt from the refrigerator.

Lu Zhiyan gently kicked open the bedroom door handle and placed the cake and yogurt on the table. "Eat quickly, then we'll wash up and go to bed."

Nan Xu sat on the sofa with her baby in her arms. "It's almost the end of the year, isn't your company busy?"

She was very busy. Whether it was the various documents Zhang San sent her or the documents Lin Zhengyu sent her, there were a lot of them. She was almost used to receiving twenty or thirty copies at a time.

"I've been busy, otherwise would I have come back so late today?" Lu Zhiyan unbuttoned his shirt and looked at Nan Xu.

"Then it might take up another morning tomorrow, why don't you just not go? It's not that important." Nan Xu scooped up a piece of strawberry cake and put it in her mouth.

It was rich in milk flavor, had a smooth texture, and the strawberries weren't sour at all. She immediately scooped out another spoonful.

"Not going to the company for one morning won't cause bankruptcy, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

"Okay, go wash up quickly. I need to wash up after I finish eating too," Nan Xu urged Lu Zhiyan.

"Okay." After saying that, Lu Zhiyan went to the dressing room to get a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

After finishing her cake and yogurt, Nanxu leaned back on the sofa to watch TV. After a while, she realized she hadn't fed Guaiguai yet.

No wonder the baby was whimpering and fidgeting in her arms; it turned out he was hungry and looking for milk.

She quickly ran to the sterilizer, took out a baby bottle, and made formula for her baby.

I tested the temperature before putting it into the baby's mouth. The little guy was very hungry and drank the milk in big gulps.
