Ye Xi was uneasy.
She clenched her hands tightly, and after a few deep breaths, she spoke, "No matter what you want to discuss, I am already your wife after all."
Ah Gui noticed her nervousness, as if afraid that he would deny this relationship, and found her somewhat endearing.
"I know," Ah Gui said calmly, "it's precisely because of our current relationship that we need to have a good talk."
"What do you want to talk about?" Ye Xi was very nervous.
Ah Gui asked her seriously, "Have you thought it through, wanting to spend your life with me?"
"Of course!" Ye Xi blurted out without thinking, "Why would I use such despicable methods if I didn't want to spend my life with you? I was just afraid you wouldn't want me, so I thought to trap you with a child, to ensure that you could never break away from me."
Ah Gui stared at her intently.
Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat as she realized she had blurted out what was in her heart.
Facing Ah Gui's gaze, Ye Xi looked down guiltily.
