Slave Husband I Bought (Female Dominant)

Chapter 27

Xu Qi turned her head, only to see Xu Zhi’s brother, Xu Qiu.

“Would you like lean or fatty meat?”

“Um, let’s have a mix of both, Zhi’er loves it.”

He actually said Xu Zhi loves to eat this kind of meat, which made Xu Qi couldn’t help but glance at him.

The man across from them smiled gently, so Xu Qi handed him a pound of meat wrapped in twine.

However, although he took the meat, the man didn’t leave. Instead, he spoke with a hint of intimacy, “Sister Qi, you haven’t come to my house to play for several days. Have you been busy with the autumn harvest?”

As the saying goes, one shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds them. Since he was just chatting with them, Xu Qi couldn’t refuse to give him face.

So she smiled back and replied, “There’s no grain planted at our house, so where’s the busy? I just got married and spent more time accompanying my husband for a stroll around the village.”

“Sister Qi is really easygoing.”

How could there be a woman who would accompany her husband for a casual stroll?

It’s evident that Xu Qi is indeed an excellent wife...

Thinking of this, Xu Qiu felt a bit bitter in his heart. He gritted his teeth and suppressed it, managing to speak to Xu Qi with an inconsistent tone, “My family has been busy with the autumn harvest these days, and Zhi’er hasn’t been peaceful either. If Sister Qi has time, could you come and help?”

Xu Qi paused, not knowing whether the original owner used to help out in the past, but since Xu Qiu brought it up now, she couldn’t refuse.

“Alright, I’ll go take a look this afternoon.”

Xu Qi had to smile and agree. After chatting casually with Xu Qiu for a few more words, she sent him away.

As soon as the person left, Xu Qi felt a bit wronged, leaning on Ye Lan’s body, “I might be tired in the afternoon, so when we get back, you have to make something good for me, or else I’ll have no energy.”

Ye Lan let her lean on him, looking a bit absent-minded. He didn’t reply to Xu Qi’s words, lost in his own thoughts.

“Ah Lan, Ah Lan?”

Xu Qi raised her voice a bit and called twice before Ye Lan snapped out of it.

Doctor Chen looked quite serious, and Ye Lan was most afraid of this kind of person. He obediently extended his hand when asked.

Doctor Chen felt Ye Lan’s pulse and his expression changed slightly. Finally, he shook his head and stood up.

Xu Qi’s heart was in her throat. “What’s wrong with my husband? Please tell me, doctor.”

“Your husband has cold qi in his body. It seems that he was injured in his early years, which may affect his ability to bear children.”

Doctor Chen sounded a bit conflicted when he said this. After finishing, he glanced at Xu Qi, as if he wanted to see her reaction.

Xu Qi was actually fine with it. Having a child would be great, but not having one wouldn’t be a big deal either. However, for Ye Lan, it was almost like a bolt from the blue.

Xu Qi hadn’t even had a chance to respond yet when Ye Lan suddenly fainted and fell into her arms from the back seat.

“Ah Lan! Doctor Chen, please check on Ah Lan quickly. What’s wrong with him?!” Xu Qi was quite nervous.

“It’s likely that he fainted due to being overly emotional just now, or his body is too weak. Take him back and rest well. Don’t say anything that will upset him, and he’ll be fine.”

“As for the issue of bearing children, it’s not entirely impossible. If he gets better later on, there’s still a chance. You just need to relax.”

“Ah...”

Doctor Chen could only sigh. How many women have abandoned their husbands because they couldn’t bear children?

Even though Xu Qi doesn’t seem to mind her husband not being able to bear children for now, who knows what will happen in the future.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. We don’t need children. They’re not as important to me as you are, Ah Lan. We don’t need children, do we?” Xu Qi looked into Ye Lan’s eyes and said earnestly.

However, Ye Lan just stared at her, his eyes dull and his face pale. After a long time, he grabbed Xu Qi’s hand forcefully, “We do, we do need children. I want children. Will you promise me, mistress? Will you promise me that we’ll have children? Do we want children?”

As soon as he mentioned this, tears streamed down Ye Lan’s face.

Xu Qi was startled, not daring to argue anymore. She quickly hugged him and said, “Okay, okay, we’ll have children. Whatever you want, I’ll do it. Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

After receiving the medicine prescribed by Doctor Chen for treating the cold qi, Xu Qi didn’t care about the strange looks from outsiders. She hurriedly took Ye Lan and left the town, returning home.
