"Elders get anxious as they age; it’s normal. Don’t take it to heart or put pressure on yourself."
"Mhm, I understand, Mom." Shangguan Xi nodded in agreement.
In fact, Shangguan Xi was also a bit anxious, especially after Wu’s grandmother had started to urge them.
After returning from her parents’ home, Shangguan Xi brought up the subject of having children with Wu Chenjun.
Wu Chenjun said with a smile, "What’s the hurry to have children? Mo Qishen is several years older than I am and he still isn’t married. Let nature take its course."
Shangguan Xi frowned slightly, "Do you think there’s something wrong with me?"
Otherwise, she really couldn’t figure out what the problem could be.
After all, they tried very hard every night.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wu Chenjun said sternly, "If there’s a problem, it’s not just with you. I think I might have a problem too! Xiaoxi, having a child isn’t just your responsibility."
Wu Chenjun really liked Shangguan Xi.
He liked her very much.
He didn’t want Shangguan Xi to have groundless concerns or feel pressured, and besides, having a child was indeed a matter for two people.
They were still young, so why rush to have children?
Shangguan Xi said with a smile, "How could you possibly have a problem."
Normally, such matters were considered a woman’s problem; it was rare for a man to be infertile.
So Shangguan Xi’s first thought was that the problem might be with her.
But she didn’t expect Wu Chenjun to take the blame upon himself. In daily life, it’s rare for a man to admit he has such a problem.
Men also find this issue particularly taboo.
From Wu Chenjun’s reaction, Shangguan Xi knew she had married the right person.
She was very thankful she had chosen Wu Chenjun.
"Neither of you have any problems," Wu Chenjun said, turning his head to give Shangguan Xi a kiss, "Don’t worry unnecessarily! If my grandmother brings it up again, I’ll tell her that it’s me who doesn’t want children yet! We’re still young, there’s no rush; who knows, it might just happen one day!"
"Thank you." Shangguan Xi reached out to embrace Wu Chenjun.
Wu Chenjun laughed and said, "Since when did Little Fourth Miss Shangguan become so gentle?"
Shangguan Xi pinched his waist and asked, "Wasn’t I gentle before?"
Wu Chenjun immediately surrendered, "Gentle, very gentle. My wife is the gentlest."
After talking to Wu Chenjun, Shangguan Xi completely let go of her stress.
