Huo Zijun's heart thumped furiously. Huo Nanchen and Gu Ruochu were hugging and kissing in front of him.
They were acting so shamelessly.
Mrs. Huo and Huo Zhenggang finally came down from upstairs. Huo Zijun waited to see whether the couple would dare to continue cuddling in front of their elders.
Huo Nanchen knew that Gu Ruochu was shy, so he let go of her.
Mrs. Huo had seen them hugging each other, but Gu Ruochu pretended that she had not seen her. Mrs. Huo coughed lightly and looked at Huo Nanchen.
"Your grandmother is curious as to when you plan on giving her a great-granddaughter so that she can hug her?"
Gu Ruochu choked on the spot. Huo Nanchen reached out his hand and caressed her back. He had a faint smile on his face. "Soon."
"Our family values women over men. The status of the boys in this family is too low," Huo Zijun shrieked from the side and looked at his mother disapprovingly. "On what basis do you discriminate against the men in this family? On what basis!"
"If you think that your status is low, you can go to Country T and have a sex change surgery. As your mother, I am very open-minded." Mrs. Huo's face was calm.
Huo Zijun's calm face formed a few wrinkles, and he turned to look at Gu Ruochu in disbelief. "Sister-in-law, listen to this! Mother actually wants me to undergo a sex change surgery! I can't live like this anymore!"
"You should consider it. I really don't mind," Mrs. Huo interjected.
Gu Ruochu almost laughed out loud as she leaned on Huo Nanchen's arm.
Huo Nanchen lowered his eyes to look at her, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile.
"..."
After breakfast, Huo Nanchen went upstairs to change into his office clothes. When Mrs. Huo saw that Huo Zijun had also left the table, she quickly walked over to Gu Ruochu and asked in a low voice, "Ruochu, are you ovulating in the next few days?"
Gu Ruochu's face turned red. Why would her mother-in-law ask such a personal question?
"I don't know. My period isn't very accurate."
Mrs. Huo's heart ached as she patted the back of Gu Ruochu's hand. "Then you have to continue taking care of your body. You were very skinny when you married Nanchen, but now, you've recovered quite a bit."
Gu Ruochu nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Huo had always wanted Gu Ruochu and Huo Nanchen to have a child together so that their relationship would improve. However, the matter of having a child could only be left to chance. It was not something that could happen just because someone wanted it to.
Huo Nanchen changed his clothes and came down from the bedroom. He held Gu Ruochu's hand and said, "Let's go. I'll drive you to your company."
Once they were in the car, Huo Nanchen helped her fasten her seatbelt and whispered, "I overheard everything that you discussed with my mother."
'Overheard what?'
When Huo Nanchen saw the puzzled look on her face, he nodded and smiled gently. "You just told mom about your ovulation period. Will you be able to conceive a child in two days?"
"So what if I will?"
"It's nothing much. Let's try it tonight!"
When Gu Ruochu saw that Huo Nanchen was serious, her face turned pale. "Is that your excuse!"
Huo Nanchen laughed when he saw her reaction. Gu Ruochu was embarrassed, and she shouted, "What are you laughing at? Stop laughing!"
Huo Nanchen laughed hysterically until his chest trembled. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her face a few times and said in a husky, sexy voice, "It's my excuse. I want my wife to feel sorry for me. I know you want a child."
"Shut up!"
"Wife, our little angel would be really cute!"
"Huo Nanchen, just drive the car!"
Gu Ruochu did not want to talk to him anymore. She leaned against the car door with her long hair draped over her shoulders and did not want to get close to him.
