By the time Qian Xun returned, Shi Guang had already brought the steaming hot pot of porridge to the dining table, and even prepared two extra dishes .
After the steaming porridge entered her tummy, Qian Xun finally perked up and no longer looked so lethargic . In a house all alone, even if there was warmth, one would feel cold still; even if the sofa was soft and comfortable, it would feel hard and stiff .
Yet, even just a simple porridge and two extra dishes of food was more than enough to fill up one’s heart just like a warm home .
Looking at how Shi Guang was propping her cheeks up with both hands and merely watching her eat, Qian Xun asked, “Aren’t you eating?”
Shi Guang smiled . “I ate lunch at home . This was made specially for you . ”
Qian Xun could hardly believe it . “Are you sure? Why do I feel as though you’ve got some other motive?”
“What motive could I have? If I had to find a reason, that would be Xiao Bai wanting to look for you to play . ”
That reply had Qian Xun’s faint smile freezing up .
Didn’t that child dislike her? Why would he look for her on his own?
Shi Guang was surprised as well . “I was rather surprised as well . I thought that you guys were at odds after the previous time . ”
Remaining silent, Qian Xun changed the topic, not wanting to talk about Xiao Bai . “When are you going to have a baby with Lu Yanchen?”
“It’s still early for us…” Shi Guang chuckled out sheepishly . “Why are you suddenly asking me that?”
“Since you like children that much and you’ve married so young, I thought you would want to give birth as quickly as possible . ” Qian Xun replied while sipping on her porridge .
“Yes, I do rather like children . But, I don’t expect to have them for the next couple of years . ”
“But, what if an accident happens? Would you give birth to it then?”
Shi Guang’s smile cramped up as she looked at Qian Xun troubledly . “I don’t think that’s going to happen, right?”
“It’s hard to say . ” While frowning, Qian Xun smirked evilly . “Even if you’ve made precautions, it isn’t entirely safe . ”
“Alright, don’t scare me anymore! I’m still intending to fight on for another two more years . Now, what about you? Are you really going to get engaged with Shi Ze?” Shi Guang truly wished that Qian Xun would not get engaged with Shi Ze . It wasn’t because of her dislike for Shi Ze—it was more of a fact that Shi Ze and Qian Xun had no feelings for one another .
“The invitation has already been given out . How could we back out?” Qian Xun did not mind at all .
“But, he isn’t a good man . This is marriage after all . Must you really see it as a transaction?” The way Shi Guang was looking at Qian Xun was really odd .
“Why can’t a transaction be a marriage?”
“Because there’s no love?”
“What’s love then?” Qian Xun chuckled and asked .
Shi Guang was stunned . “I… I don’t know how to reply . Love…”
Qian Xun then interrupted her . “Even if you know what love is, you don’t have to explain it to me . In any case, to me, love is nothing more than a burden and liability . ”
Her meaning was clear—marriage was nothing more than something tasteless and meaningless .
Shi Guang could not understand . “Why would you think that? I’ve realized that you’re really extreme toward love . You should not be like that . ”
“I’m not being extreme . I believe that there IS love in this world . ” Qian Xun replied with seriousness . “Only, I don’t need it . I’ll never love anyone else again . ”
“Sounds like you used to love many people?”
“Not many… just two . ”
“Who?” Shi Guang was extremely curious as to whether one of them was Lu Yanzhi . However, she felt that Qian Xun would definitely not reply, given the way she had asked .
