On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

Now that things have come to this, Lin Xiwei knows she can't avoid it anymore.

Moreover, she had to take this step in order to save Junjun.

Let alone Qin Jiamo, an elite human being, even if it were a scumbag like Su Yunfan, she would still do it without hesitation to save the child.

"Qin Jiamo, thank you for being willing to sacrifice so much to save Junjun. I can never repay your kindness to my son and me in this lifetime."

Qin Jiamo frowned. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"I'm willing to do anything to save Junjun, but please give me three more days to prepare myself mentally." Lin Xiwei said this with her heart pounding as if it would jump out of her throat.

She went on a business trip on Tuesday and won't be back until Friday night at the earliest.

A week is enough time to prepare mentally.

Moreover, judging by the dates, her ovulation period will be approaching in about a week.

If you're lucky enough to win on your first try, you'll save yourself the trouble of trying again later.

Qin Jiamo was a little surprised, her eyes and brows showing astonishment: "You mean... you agree?"

Lin Xiwei nodded without saying anything.

"I gave you three days to think it over before, and that's already passed. Why do you need another three days?" He was worried that this was just Lin Xiwei making excuses.

"No, I mean in three days, we'll try to conceive..."

She kept her head down, but both her ears were burning red.

Qin Jiamo was stunned for a second.

He hadn't expected that the "three-day deadline" meant this.

This caught him off guard—he thought they would officially become a couple three days later.

After a moment of silence, Qin Jiamo was the first to come to her senses. "Then I'll give you three days. After three days, I'll move in here."

"You're moving in?" Lin Xiwei suddenly looked up and asked in surprise.

Qin Jiamo nodded: "Otherwise? You mean, we'll wait until then..."

Lin Xiwei was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Didn't you say before that even if you want to get pregnant, it doesn't necessarily mean that the two of you have to be together? Don't hospitals have assisted reproductive technologies?"

Qin Jiamo was also stunned upon hearing this, and her expression was rather intriguing.

He thought that Lin Xiwei's agreement meant that she acknowledged their feelings for each other and was willing to take their relationship to the next level.

In that case, it would be best for the two of them to conceive naturally.

But in reality, her so-called agreement was to have a child, and to conceive through assisted reproductive technology.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Xiwei suddenly understood, "You mean, we should just..."

"Otherwise? Since you can accept me, why go to all this trouble? I consulted Meng Junhe, and the success rate of assisted reproduction is not high."

Lin Xiwei: "..."

Seeing that her eyes were not right, Qin Jiamo was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Don't overthink it. Don't think that I want to sleep with you for free or anything. I'm just trying to improve efficiency from a scientific point of view."

"..." Lin Xiwei wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

What are they talking about?!

"I didn't think that way. With your status, you don't need to do that," Lin Xiwei said in a barely audible voice.

If he really wanted to sleep with women and satisfy his physical needs, there were plenty of young, beautiful, hot, and sexy women willing to do so.

It could also be a perfectly healthy, unmarried young woman.

Although she had no relevant experience, she had already given birth to a child.

In terms of experience and novelty, it's definitely not as good as a virgin.

Qin Jiamo remained silent.

He didn't know how to respond.

Because I feel a little guilty if I keep telling lies.

Deep down, he definitely did have those feelings, because he liked the woman in front of him.

When you like someone, you naturally want to possess them.

He didn't think he was wrong.

But the timing was wrong.

He knew that Lin Xiwei had not fully accepted him in her heart; she had only compromised and backed down to save the child.

As they remained silent, Lin Xiwei looked at his slightly pursed thin lips and cold, handsome features, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

They were willing to make such a huge sacrifice to save her child, but she, as a mother and the one who received the favor, was still hesitant and indecisive.

In other words, Qin Jiamo is well-mannered and patient.

If it were any other man, he would have called her incredibly pretentious long ago.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiwei suddenly looked up and explained, "I didn't mean to look down on you, I just felt... I've had a child, and my figure and other aspects have changed somewhat. I was worried that you—"

God!

Lin Xiwei felt like her whole body was on fire.

How was she supposed to explain to Qin Jiamo the physical changes a woman experiences after childbirth?

Although she paid great attention to postpartum recovery, it was impossible for her to return to the state before having children.

What she feared was that if things really came to that, it would disappoint Qin Jiamo.

Qin Jiamo listened to her explanation, and although he didn't fully understand what she meant, he could roughly guess Lin Xiwei's thoughts.

She felt inferior because she had given birth and was afraid of giving him a bad experience.

"What are you thinking? Isn't our goal to get pregnant and have a baby to save Junjun? Why do you care about other things?" He said seriously.

Lin Xiwei stared at him with wide eyes.

"So, you care so much about your image in my heart." Qin Jiamo smiled faintly, pointing out the key point.

Lin Xiwei immediately lowered her head again: "No, you've misunderstood."

Qin Jiamo didn't expose her, but instead looked her over carefully and said seriously, "You have a good image. You're pretty, with fair skin and a tall figure."

Lin Xiwei: "..."

Instead of being sarcastic, he started praising people, which felt strange.

Lin Xiwei bit her lip and stammered, "Since you don't mind me, then... let's do it your way."

Qin Jiamo said self-deprecatingly, "It sounds like I'm a lecherous man who forces a good woman into prostitution."

"No, no, I was just overthinking it." Lin Xiwei forced a smile and quickly changed the subject, "Um... you said you wanted to stay tonight, I'll go see if Aunt Lan has prepared the guest room."

She turned to leave, but Qin Jiamo turned around and said, "No need."

Lin Xiwei turned around in surprise, her mind suddenly wandering again.

"No need? You mean... you're going to sleep in the master bedroom tonight?"

She asked this question while nervously clutching her clothes with one hand.

Qin Jiamo couldn't help but laugh. "Why do you sound more anxious than I am? Didn't you say... you'd give yourself three more days to prepare mentally? I'll just go back tonight then, so you won't be so scared that you can't sleep all night."

Lin Xiwei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then thank you for your trouble, driving back so late."

Qin Jiamo could tell that she had relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile to himself.

He looked at Junjun, who was still playing in the living room, and raised his hand to call out, "Junjun, your uncle is leaving. You and your mother should get some rest."

Junjun came over and hugged Qin Jiamo's leg, "Uncle, there are so many rooms in the house, there's a place for you to sleep."

"Yes, but Uncle didn't bring any change of clothes. He'll bring his luggage over in a few days." Qin Jiamo stroked the child's head, but he was speaking to Lin Xiwei.

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips and remained silent, but kept telling herself in her heart—to save Junjun, she was willing to risk it all; it was just sleeping with a man!
