All the sadness Bai Qingqing felt instantly disappeared. She looked up at Curtis and asked, "Don't you like kids?"
"I want you to bear me a child because I like you, and you females will show more affection to the child's father," Curtis answered her without hesitation, despite his intense dislike of his own kind—especially his own children—for distracting his female.
Bai Qingqing's face flushed and she said shyly, "That's not the point, okay? The point is that I get… that thing every month. It'll be bad news for me if people find out."
Curtis chuckled softly and replied, "Don't worry. This house is my territory. I won't let anyone come near it, so no one will find out."
Bai Qingqing felt a huge burden being lifted off her shoulders upon seeing how calm Curtis was. "Mm."
"I brought you the thorny fruit." Curtis pulled away from Bai Qingqing and held out the plant in his left hand.
