Mo Xiaojing's cheeks flushed as she chided, "Dad, what are you talking about?!"
Mo Chengguo replied calmly, "Did I say something wrong? Chen Mo, let me ask you, does age affect a woman's ability to have children?"
Everyone turned their gaze to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was a bit bewildered but nodded, "Yes, it does have some impact."
"See, even Chen Mo says it has an impact," Mo Chengguo pointed at Chen Mo.
He then earnestly advised, "Your father is only looking out for your best interests. Having children early means enjoying the joys of family sooner."
Mo Jialong asked with a playful grin, "Dad, how about I get you a grandson?"
Mo Chengguo glared at Mo Jialong, "You dare! I'll break your legs!"
Mo Jialong looked dejected, "Sis, brother-in-law, look how much Dad favors you two. You should have a child quickly so I can take my nephew out to have fun."
Mo Xiaojing shot Mo Jialong a look, "With you, he'd learn bad habits in no time."
However, as soon as she said it, Mo Xiaojing realized something was amiss.
Mo Jialong excitedly exclaimed, "Sis, does that mean you're planning to have a nephew for me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mo Xiaojing said, annoyed.
"Ahem, Uncle, we will work hard and strive to have a child soon," Chen Mo suddenly interjected.
The room fell silent.
Mo Chengguo's face lit up with excitement.
Mo Xiaojing, on the other hand, looked at Chen Mo in surprise.
"Good, good, good! With your words, I am relieved. However, if I ever find out Xiaojing is wronged, I promise I won't let you off," Mo Chengguo cautioned.
Chen Mo reached out and took Mo Xiaojing's delicate hand, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaojing."
The meal concluded very quickly.
Not long after they started, Mo Chengguo asked, "Chen Mo, have you two eaten enough?"
Chen Mo and Mo Xiaojing nodded.
"Since you've eaten, you two should go back to your room and rest. Chen Mo will stay in Xiaojing's room tonight," Mo Chengguo urged.
Chen Mo was taken aback, "Uncle, isn't this a bit too fast?"
"Several of my old friends have already had grandchildren. Do you think this pace is fast?"
His words left Chen Mo speechless.
The two were then pushed into the room by Mo Jialong.
"Brother-in-law, I have something to tell you tomorrow morning. Don't leave early," Mo Jialong said before closing the door.
Inside the room, Chen Mo and Mo Xiaojing looked at each other, feeling extremely awkward.
Although their relationship was public, this was the first time their family was pushing them to have children.
Chen Mo, being the man, took the initiative to say, "Since that's the case, shall we rest?"
Mo Xiaojing's cheeks flushed, and she nodded.
They each lay down on their respective sides, with a large space left in between.
"It's cold tonight, would you... would you like me to hold you?" Chen Mo asked.
Mo Xiaojing simply nodded.
Chen Mo shifted his body, moving closer to Mo Xiaojing, and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
"Ahem."
Chen Mo coughed dryly, trying to ease his own awkwardness.
After a moment, he said, "Sleeping with clothes on is not good for your health. There's scientific evidence for this."
"Pfft!"
Mo Xiaojing, whose face had been cold, finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Is this how you trick Mengyao at home?" Mo Xiaojing asked, looking at Chen Mo with her beautiful eyes.
Chen Mo felt a pang of embarrassment, "No."
"Really?"
"Really, I've only said this to you."
Mo Xiaojing sighed, "Alas, it seems I'm easily fooled."
Just as Chen Mo was about to say something, Mo Xiaojing's cool lips pressed against his.
Having tasted that sensation before, Chen Mo was no longer as wooden as before.
However, just as Chen Mo was about to unbutton Mo Xiaojing's clothes, she suddenly grabbed his hand.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo asked, startled.
Mo Xiaojing's flushed face was full of apology, "I, I think my period has come."
"Ah?"
"Isn't Uncle downstairs?" Chen Mo asked.
Mo Xiaojing lowered her head, her face growing redder, and whispered, "I mean my menstrual cycle."
"What?" Chen Mo's eyes widened.
Wasn't this a joke?
He was being pressured by his father-in-law to have children, and then pushed into his girlfriend's room by his brother-in-law.
And just as he was about to do something, his girlfriend told him her period had come?
Chen Mo stood frozen, completely stunned.
Sensing Chen Mo's unhappiness, Mo Xiaojing gritted her teeth, "If, if you want, I, I can."
Chen Mo finally came back to his senses and pulled Mo Xiaojing into his embrace.
"Don't joke around, let's just rest. I'm fine," Chen Mo comforted her.
Perhaps it was due to the exhaustion of the day, or perhaps it was the sense of security she felt in Chen Mo's arms.
The ice-cold CEO, who always gave off an aloof impression, finally shed her heavy burdens and fell into a deep sleep in Chen Mo's arms.
Seeing Mo Xiaojing asleep, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh, "What kind of karma did I create to encounter such bizarre events."
The next morning, Chen Mo and Mo Xiaojing woke up.
After washing up, they went downstairs and found that Mo Chengguo had already gone to the company.
Only Mo Jialong was still sitting in the dining room, eating breakfast.
"Sis, brother-in-law, you two were tossing and turning too much last night. I've been waiting for you for two hours," Mo Jialong said with dissatisfaction.
"Do you want a beating?" Mo Xiaojing asked, her face stern.
Mo Jialong quickly shut his mouth, then sidled up to Chen Mo and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you're my real brother-in-law now. You can't abandon your brother-in-law when he's in trouble, right?"
"Go ahead and say it."
Mo Jialong's face lit up, "Brother-in-law, can you get me one of your stable's black cards?"
"Sure, just go to the stable. I'll call them and let them know," Chen Mo agreed.
This was a trivial matter for him.
"Brother-in-law, I love you to death!" With that, Mo Jialong tried to kiss Chen Mo on the cheek.
Fortunately, Chen Mo reacted quickly and dodged.
"Brother-in-law, I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself. You don't know, a couple of days ago, I was humiliated by some second-generation rich kid at the stable. He actually had a black card, and we agreed to go horse racing this afternoon. I'm going to slap his face today!"
Chen Mo smiled helplessly, "When you race, go find Lu Wanhua and ask him to pick out a good horse for you."
"Alright, thank you, brother-in-law. I'm off to have fun!" With that, Mo Jialong eagerly ran out.
"What's wrong with him?" Mo Xiaojing asked, seeing Mo Jialong's excited demeanor.
Chen Mo waved his hand, "It's nothing. Let's eat."
However, as Chen Mo took his second bite, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it; it was Huizi calling.
