Cixi blinked, "Ah, Luo Luo isn't angry anymore?"
Luo Qi mumbled, "I wasn't really that angry."
Cixi looked at the cub before him and sighed like a little adult, "Ye Mu is only five years old, how would he know what marriage is."
Cixi was amused, "Luo Luo, you're not even five years old, do you know what marriage is?"
Luo Qi pondered for a moment, "It should be two people who know and love each other, wanting to be together for a lifetime."
As he spoke, Luo Qi was overcome with sadness. In his previous life, he had died young before he even had a chance to fall in love. He was worse off than a five-year-old cub!
The little cub could even decide on a wife for himself early on!
Cixi looked at Luo Qi's serious little face, and thinking of something, his complexion changed from red to white, like a palette.
He smiled and rubbed Luo Qi's head, "What are you little things thinking about?"
Luo Qi sighed, "Dad, are there any other insectoids like me in the Insect Race? Should I also find myself a wife?"
The veins on Cixi's forehead twitched again, "Didn't you say you can't date early?"
Luo Qi lay on the soft bed, buried in the quilt like a little bear cub buried in a snowdrift, "Then is there a child bride?"
Cixi couldn't take it anymore and snapped his fingers on Luo Qi's forehead, "You wish! A child bride?!"
Luo Qi pouted and stopped talking. He was just saying it casually. Didn't they say in those TV shows that he was a prince? How could he not have a princess betrothed to him since childhood?
He stealthily glanced at Cixi, who was sitting by the bed. Seeing how stern his father looked, he probably wouldn't have one.
Alas.
In the royal palace living room, Ye Mu nestled in Madam Ye's arms, his expression dazed. Madam Ye suppressed a smile and explained to Ye Mu bit by bit how difficult it was to have a child.
Pregnancy lasted ten months, and it might take even longer for insectoid children.
One would gain a lot of weight, limbs would be swollen, and one couldn't use force for a long time.
When carrying a child, there would be several pounds of weight in the belly.
With every sentence she finished, Ye Mu's eyes dimmed a little, and his mouth turned down.
Ye Yun glanced at Ye Mu. Although he didn't know how the conversation turned to this, he echoed his wife's words, "Yes, it's so hard. Quickly take back all those scummy words you just said."
Ye Mu looked up at Madam Ye and sighed, "Mom, you really worked hard."
Madam Ye was surprised and hugged Ye Mu with relief, "Mommy didn't work hard to give birth to you."
Ye Mu frowned and looked at Ye Yun. After thinking, he seemed to have made up his mind, "I wouldn't bear to let Luo Luo do such hard work, and I wouldn't be like Dad, letting Mom do all the hard work. Dad is a general, he didn't even help Mom have children."
Ye Yun: "???" What does this have to do with me?
Madam Ye couldn't help but burst into laughter, nodded as if it were true, and punched Ye Yun, "Yes, your dad is an idiot."
Ye Yun was so angry he almost exploded, "Is there a possibility that men are naturally unable to give birth?"
After Ye Mu went through the mental process of "marriage means having children -> he must have children for Luo Qi to get married -> having children is hard but he's ready,"
He was then hit by Ye Yun's statement, "Men naturally can't give birth." Ye Mu was stunned.
The precocious human prodigy cub's lips turned down, his eyes reddened, and tears began to fall in large drops.
"Mom, I can't have children, Luo Luo won't marry me, woo woo..."
Ye Yun: "..."
Madam Ye: "..."
Madam Ye nudged Ye Yun's shoulder, "Your son is so smart, why is he so foolish when it comes to this issue?"
Ye Yun was dazed, "Perhaps, he takes after me."
Madam Ye: "..."
Ye Yun reacted with embarrassment, "No, they don't teach this in kindergarten, and even when I was tutored at home, no one taught Ye Mu this."
Ye Mu became sadder the more he thought about it, his little face turned red from crying, "I don't have a wife anymore, woo woo..."
Madam Ye was amused and angry, "You little rascal, you don't know anything else, but you know about wives?"
Ye Yun also snorted coldly, "I suspect this little brat just wants to trick Luo Qi over."
Ye Mu was crying so hard he couldn't catch his breath, but he heard this sentence and wiped his face, "That's not it, woo woo, how about if Luo Qi and I get married, woo, and then live on the insect planet, woo woo..."
Ye Yun pinched Ye Mu's face fiercely, "There's nothing I can do, I won't persuade you. If you have the ability, go ask His Majesty the Insect King himself to allow you to marry their child!"
Ye Mu continued to wail, like a little train, and ran towards Luo Qi's bedroom door. Before anyone could stop him, he started to speak recklessly, "Uncle Cixi, please let Luo Luo marry me!"
Cixi, who was staring at Luo Qi inside the room: "..."
Ye Mu's future wife, Luo Qi: "..."
Cixi smiled meaningfully, "Should I go beat him up?"
Luo Qi shook his head vigorously.
"Then should I have the insect general drive him out? Drive their whole family out?"
Luo Qi shook his head again.
Cixi sighed, "Then your marriage partner, you have to solve it yourself?"
Luo Qi: "...Okay."
Cixi clicked his tongue, "No backbone. You're completely under his thumb at such a young age."
Luo Qi slipped under his feet and shouted, "I'm not!"
Fortunately, at this moment, the voice of an insect general sounded from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Generals Bosya and Liya have come out."
Luo Qi looked at Cixi in surprise, "Dad, didn't you say it would take a long time?"
Cixi rubbed Luo Qi's head, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, "Yes, that just shows that they truly love each other."
Ye Mu, who was sobbing at the door, stopped crying when he heard the insect general's words.
Cixi led Luo Qi out by the hand. He didn't bother with the squabbling between the two children. The group walked through the corridor, and Liya and Bosya had already come out.
Cixi walked up to the two and gently patted their shoulders.
Liya and Bosya had been by Cixi's side since they were young, and Cixi was very happy for such good news.
Bosya, with a smiling face, hugged Liya, his eyes full of happiness.
Only Luo Qi lagged behind, as if he saw something that others couldn't.
Just as he hesitated, 111 suddenly spoke, "Your intuition is correct."
Luo Qi was startled and blinked, "If I say it, will I be considered an evil spirit?"
111 seemed to chuckle and said meaningfully, "What are you afraid of? You are the protagonist."
Luo Qi pursed his lips, hesitated, and then walked forward, placing his small hand on Liya's belly and whispering, "Auntie Liya."
"There seems to be... a baby here."
