After sharing a body with her husband

Now, Old Madam Wei wants to help the seventh branch of the family adopt a son, but her own plans to have a child are stalled, so time is even more pressing.

Originally, she hoped to conceive before Xie Yan'an passed away next year, but now, does she have to conceive before the adoption?

What are you thinking about? You just said you wanted someone to rely on, right? Adopting a child would be perfect; then you'd have someone to rely on, wouldn't you?

Huo Chuan could clearly sense that Shang Lingjun was in a bad mood.

Shang Lingjun sat on a round stool, poured herself a cup of tea, but just stared blankly at it. She sighed deeply.

That's what they say, but I...

Even Huo Chuan said so, could it be that she is really too greedy?

She had already planned to become Xie Yan'an's wife, and she would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of her life. Moreover, Old Madam Wei had been so considerate of her, and was about to give her an adopted son.

But she wasn't that happy.

She has absolutely no interest in raising other people's children.

She also wanted to ask herself why she had to have a biological child.

She insists on giving birth herself, which is so painful. Why is she so stubborn about it?

Can……

In these two short lifetimes combined, she felt like a rootless duckweed, drifting wherever it took her, whether in the Xiao family or the Xie family.

Even though she has settled down in the Xie family now, she doesn't feel like this place is home and has no sense of belonging.

She had family when she was a child, and she vaguely remembered what it felt like to have a family.

Home is having family around. Her mother feeds her, her father wipes her mouth, and if she accidentally gets food all over her face, her father teases her, saying she looks like a messy cat.

She missed that feeling of happiness so much.

All she wanted was to have a blood relative in this world.

"Ati, but what is it?" Huo Chuan pressed.

Shang Lingjun slowly placed the teacup back on the table, her voice somewhat muffled:

"Huo Chuan, do you think it's possible for me to have a biological child?"

She was too lazy to hide it anymore. Let Huo Chuan mock her however he wanted. She just wanted a biological child, so what?

Perhaps they weren't meant to be, but if she never even tried, that would be the biggest regret of her life.

What?!

Huo Chuan was completely caught off guard.

"I said if I wanted a child, I wanted to give birth myself," Shang Lingjun repeated.

Huo Chuan felt a buzzing in his head, and his voice cracked.

Are you going to have an affair?!

Shang Lingjun was stunned, her face immediately turning red with anger. She was furious. In Huo Chuan's eyes, was that the kind of person she was?

What was he thinking about?

Shang Lingjun stood up angrily, as if deliberately trying to provoke him.

Yes, yes, I'll take you to find a man right away, get you pregnant, and have the child placed under Xie Yan'an's name.

Wait a minute!

Huo Chuan has gone mad, completely mad. His brain is about to explode; he has lost the ability to think.

[Shang Lingjun! Come back! Sit down!]

Shang Lingjun was quite surprised by his strong reaction.

What's wrong? Why are you so agitated?

Why do you think I'm getting so worked up?

Huo Chuan's breathing became much heavier, he was angry. Has Shang Lingjun gone mad?

She must be crazy!

Shang Lingjun's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she quickly realized what was going on.

So Huo Chuan was afraid she'd take him to find other men? Did she really think she could relinquish control of her body to him at that crucial moment and let him take her place?

absurd.

but……

A sly glint flashed in Shang Lingjun's eyes. "What else can I do? What do you think I should do?"

Go find Xie Yan'an!

The moment Huo Chuan blurted it out, he froze, his mouth dry and unable to speak.

Shang Lingjun's bright eyes flickered slightly, her lips pursed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved into a barely perceptible arc.

So that's how it works.

If she had known this trick would work, why did she dawdle for so long?

She wasn't so embarrassed when Huo Chuan said it himself; after all, it was his words.

[The Xie family isn't stupid; they'll definitely check. If they find out, you're dead. So you have no choice but to go to Xie Yan'an.]

Seeing that Shang Lingjun remained silent, Huo Chuan was in a state of turmoil. He stammered out another sentence, but it was somewhat incoherent.

As if by some strange twist of fate, the story of the scholar and the fox spirit from the storybook resurfaced in his mind, and he couldn't shake it off.

If it really works...

Huo Chuan's heart was pounding wildly.

May I?

Shang Lingjun, however, felt like teasing Huo Chuan. She slowly sat down and deliberately said:

[Xie Yan'an is a paralyzed man in a coma, what use is it for me to find him? I know you're worried about me, but it's okay, Xie Yan'an doesn't know anything about it anyway. I'll just say it's his, will he come back to life and expose me?]

Huo Chuan's vision went black, and he almost fainted.

He already knows!

Shang Lingjun couldn't help but take advantage of the situation. She rested her chin on her hand and said in a half-joking tone:

"You said it, so why don't you go and give birth to my child?"

These words were so shocking that Huo Chuan felt as if his mind had been struck by lightning for a moment, and he was stunned for a long time before he could recover.

What did she just say?

Does she want him to take her place and consummate their marriage in his place?

Oh God, who will save him?

Shang Lingjun is a crazy woman.

She's not mentally sound!

Shang Lingjun coughed awkwardly, realizing she had gone a bit too far.

[I was just kidding, you actually want to?]

Huo Chuan remained silent for an unknown amount of time. Just as Shang Lingjun's uncertainty grew, Huo Chuan let out a very soft sigh and said:

【Ati, do you remember the story of the scholar and the fox spirit you read the other day? Let's give it a try.】

No matter what, he would not allow her to have an affair.

He couldn't accept her taking him to find other men, unless she had the ability to kill his soul.

【Um? 】

The topic changed so quickly that Shang Lingjun's mind couldn't process it for a moment. What to try?

Why are you suddenly bringing up the storybook we read the other day?

What story was it again in that storybook?

The moment she remembered, Shang Lingjun belatedly realized what was happening, and her cheeks instantly burned hot, turning her face and neck completely red.

So that's what he meant to say.

He wants Xie Yan'an's body?

He actually wants Xie Yan'an's body?!

So, when he was reading the storybook that day, he was already thinking about Xie Yan'an's health?

"What...do you mean?"

Huo Chuan's words stung her heart, and she even read them aloud.

If that's the case, will she spend her wedding night with Xie Yan'an or with Huo Chuan?

When the name "Huo Chuan" appeared in her mind, Shang Lingjun's breath caught in her throat for a moment, her heart filled with shock and confusion.

[If I could enter Xie Yan'an's body, not only would your problem be solved, but mine would be too. Ati, things can't go on like this, so... why don't we give it a try?]

Huo Chuan tried his best to make his voice sound calm, as if he was just seriously trying to find a way to solve the current predicament between the two of them.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear that his voice trembles slightly and has a barely perceptible hoarseness.

What I mean is, maybe we could start with physical contact, like touching or hugging.

As if afraid that Shang Lingjun would feel embarrassed or ashamed, Huo Chuan hurriedly added another sentence.

Shang Lingjun's eyelashes drooped, and her eyes flickered with emotion; she understood Huo Chuan's meaning.

She was considering the possibility of letting Huo Chuan enter Xie Yan'an's body.

Yes, how come she never thought of that?
