Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 313: Chapter 313 Young Man

Holding Lin Mengyao by the waist, Xu Ke spoke with a hint of guilt in his voice: "This matter was my oversight. I initially thought that we were still young, that we could enjoy a few more years of just the two of us before having children. But I never understood the dangers of childbirth, nor did I ask for your opinion. I hope you won’t blame me for this." Towards the end, Xu Ke’s voice had become somewhat cautious.

Lin Mengyao was only preoccupied with feeling distressed, not thinking of anything else, and words of comfort and persuasion came out almost without thinking.

"Back then, I felt the same way as you, so there’s no need for you to feel guilty. Besides, having children is something for two people. If I wanted to have one and told you, you wouldn’t refuse, would you? So don’t overthink it. After all, we’re still young. We can wait a few more years, and it’s not as scary as Sister Zhou said."

Lin Mengyao reached out to tug Xu Ke’s arm to comfort him, but accidentally touched Xu Ke’s wound. Caught off guard, Xu Ke’s expression didn’t change at all, as if it wasn’t his wound that was touched.

But even though Xu Ke’s facial expression was perfectly hidden, the bandage on his wound still got detected by Lin Mengyao. She looked at Xu Ke, while her right hand carefully traced the arm hidden under his clothes. Her expression turned from initial distress to one of somberness.

"What’s wrong, suddenly upset?" Xu Ke withdrew his left arm from her hand, trying to pinch her now puffed-up cheeks, but was surprised when Lin Mengyao stepped back to avoid him.

It was the first time Lin Mengyao had avoided his touch in so long. How could Xu Ke not be shocked?

Just as Xu Ke was still in surprise, Lin Mengyao directly grabbed his left arm, carefully avoiding the wound she had just felt. In his silent gaze, she unfolded the cuff of his sleeve, rolling it up to reveal the wound that had only been treated not too long ago.

"Explain to me what you went downstairs for just now and how you injured your arm." Lin Mengyao looked up at Xu Ke, her eyes filled with a somber look, slowly covered in red veins and glistening tears. Even the curve of her lips turned downwards. Despite the tears, they couldn’t hide the distress and anger Xu Ke saw in her eyes. She was upset that Xu Ke hadn’t taken good care of himself and had gotten hurt.

And why didn’t you tell me you were hurt? Don’t you trust me enough? What if I had accidentally pulled on your wound just
