Chen Li, despite being injured and exhausted, continues to work, much to Xia Ting's concern. She insists he rest while she manages his schedule and reassures his fans online. After a day of filming, Xia Ting returns to their hotel with nourishing soup for Chen Li, only to find him asleep. He later wakes and is surprised to find her gone, but she returns with the soup. Chen Li pulls her into a hug, frustrated by their need for secrecy due to his career, and expresses a desire to leave showbiz for a simpler life with her.

As long as you’re slightly inattentive, they’ll target you and then take photos to expose your privacy.

Artists don’t have a private life at all; the paparazzi are really despicable!

"I’ll go run the hot water for your bath." Chen Li, full of affection, hugged her tightly and gently kissed her hair.

She followed him every day, and he truly felt sorry for her.

"No need, you should eat first." Xia Ting opened her eyes and gently pushed him away.

"Let’s eat together."

"Okay." Xia Ting nodded.

After finishing their meal, it was already early morning, and Xia Ting prepared to go back to her room to rest after tidying up.

Although they were together, they still had to keep up appearances.

They couldn’t always be in the same room, or it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"You should rest soon, I’m heading back." She advised him once more, picked up her bag, and headed to the door.

"You’re really leaving?" Chen Li, gritting his teeth in anger, chased after her, pressing her against the wall, and forcefully kissed her.

Xia Ting couldn’t resist at all, her bag falling to the ground.

She couldn’t escape and could only let him have his way with her.

Afterward, sweating profusely, he lay on top of her, gently caressing her face with affection.

"Tingting, let’s have a baby."

"Don’t talk nonsense. It’s too soon to have a child now!" Xia Ting frowned, saying with an unsteady breath.

He’s only twenty-three now; why think about having children...

She also wanted kids, but she didn’t want to tie his future down with them.

His future is bright, and having a child so young would certainly affect him.

"What do you mean? You don’t want to have a child with me, do you?" Chen Li’s face changed dramatically, looking at her angrily.

"It’s not what you think; it’s just that now isn’t the right time for a child. You’re still young, no need to rush..."

"You just think I’m too young!" Chen Li gritted his teeth and growled, turning over to face away from her.

"We can wait a few years before having kids."

"In a few years, you’ll be older, and having children will be dangerous!" Chen Li sat up, looking at her; he really wanted a child with her.

But there was an age gap between them, and by the time he was ready for kids, she’d be past the prime age for childbirth.

So he decided to have a child a little earlier; he didn’t really care about his career.

The money he’s earned these past few years is enough for them!

"I’m not afraid." Xia Ting, feeling uncomfortable, had tears in her eyes.

"But I am! It’s dangerous for women to have children when they’re older!" Chen Li said, his voice trembling. He read news stories saying it was dangerous for women to give birth, and it scared him.

But he also really wanted a child that belonged to both of them, so he decided to have one sooner to avoid danger!

"It’s not that exaggerated," Xia Ting smiled slightly. She’s not afraid.

As long as it’s for him, she’s afraid of nothing, much less having their child!

Chen Li, too angry to speak, lay down, with his back to her, plunging the atmosphere into silence.

"I’m going back to my room to sleep." Xia Ting, exhausted, sat up and began to dress.

Chen Li said nothing. Once Xia Ting was dressed, she left.

It wasn’t until he heard the door close that he sat up, too angry to know what to do about her.

The next morning.

Xia Ting left early to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. If it weren’t for him mentioning having kids last night, she wouldn’t have thought about taking contraceptives.

These days, they’ve just gotten together and haven’t taken any safety measures.

She hoped for children but also hoped there wouldn’t be any...

Standing outside the pharmacy with the medicine in hand, she hesitated for a long time but still didn’t take it.

In case she had conceived in the past few times, taking the medicine now wouldn’t be good for the child.

In a few days, it’ll be her period; she’ll just wait and see.
