Chapter 137: Shall We Have a Son?

Inside Ruixi Courtyard, Shen Xuanlin was standing on an empty place below the steps and playing a fist technique like a tiger. Shen Ninghua sat on the chair by the corridor and looked at him with a smile on her lips.

After Shen Xuanlin finished his set of fist movements, he ran straight to Shen Ninghua. He bent over the armrest of her chair and looked at her with sparkling eyes. “Eldest Sister, how do you like my fist techniques?” His big eyes flashed with anticipation as he looked forward to Shen Ninghua’s comment, completely ignoring the sweat stains on his forehead.

Shen Ninghua took the handkerchief and helped him wipe the sweat off his head before slowly saying, “Although I don’t know any fist techniques, I can still see something.”

Shen Xuanlin nervously clenched his fists. “Eldest Sister, did you see any flaws in my performance?”

Seeing his nervous appearance, Shen Ninghua smiled slightly. “I just said it casually. I don’t even know if what I said is true. What are you so nervous about? You are a martial artist now, and a martial artist’s heart should be firm and unshakable. If Liu Yun was here, he would punish you again for being nervous a moment ago.”

Although Liu Yun was Shen Ninghua’s subordinate, he did not show any mercy in teaching Shen Xuanlin. If Shen Xuanlin made a mistake, Liu Yun would seriously beat him.

“Yes, Eldest Sister, I know I was wrong.”

Shen Ninghua continued. “I just watched your performance. In the beginning, your fist movements were strong and powerful, but later your movements became more and more powerless. You are only twelve years old now, and you have no way to compete with adults in terms of strength. That’s why you need to pay more attention to the distribution of strength. If you can defeat your opponent with ten percent of strength, why waste thirty percent?”

Shen Xuanlin paused and lowered his head to ponder the meaning behind Shen Ninghua’s words. After a while, his face flushed faintly. “Eldest Sister, I was too eager for quick results and quick benefits.” He only wanted to perform well in front of her and show her his achievements in martial arts, but he misjudged his own strength. If he were in a true fight, he would have already been killed.

Shen Ninghua rubbed his head and said, “You’re still young. Just practice more. There’s no need to be anxious. Alright, go back and have a good talk with Master Liu Yun. I believe that you will definitely make some achievements in the future.”

“Yes, Eldest Sister!” Shen Xuanlin was encouraged. He suddenly stood up and rushed in high spirits to the backyard to see Liu Yun.

In the room, Chu Junyi watched the communication between the siblings from beginning to end. A warm feeling echoed in his heart. He suddenly wondered how warm and nice it would be if Ninghua patiently taught their son in the future…

Shen Ninghua stood up and walked into the room. Her footsteps paused slightly, and her eyes flashed. When she turned around and saw the slightly dumbfounded Chu Junyi, she asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Chu Junyi was still immersed in the imagined warm scene as he blurted out without thinking, “I’m thinking about our future son…”

Shen Ninghua was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of anger flashed through her eyes. “Chu Junyi!”

Chu Junyi restored his senses and quickly explained with a smile, “Ninghua, it’s actually not too late to think about it now. Look, everyone in the capital knows that I love you so much. I can even give up my life for you. Where else can you find someone like me? So, we are definitely going to get married. Will our son be far away after getting married?”

Shen Ninghua grabbed the Go manual at hand and smashed it at Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi swiftly grabbed the Go manual in his hand. “Ninghua, do you agree? Well, you threw the Go manual at me, and that meant “let’s go ahead together”. As expected, hearts which have a common beat are linked to each other. What do you think the name of our son should be? How about Chu…”

“Go!”

Chu Junyi thought for a moment and said, “Chu Go? This name doesn’t sound good because Go means the same as get lost. When our son grows up, he will definitely blame me for not giving him a good name. At that time, even if I tell him that this name is given by his mother, he probably won’t be able to accept it. Let’s think of another name.”

Shen Ninghua took a deep breath, turned around, and walked out. There was no way she could stay in this room. After Chu Junyi left, she would definitely clean it up! As she walked out, she heard Chu Junyi muttering to himself.

“This first child might also be a daughter. If she were to use the name Chu Go, she would probably not be able to find a husband in the future. That’s bad, eh…”

Shen Ninghua took large strides and hid in the next courtyard for some quietness. When she entered the courtyard, the anger on her face instantly dissipated. “Qing Que, I feel that there is an unfamiliar aura in Ruixi Courtyard. Go down and make some arrangements.”

Qing Que was shocked and quickly turned around to prepare.

Inside the room, after Shen Ninghua left for a while, Chu Junyi restrained the smile on his face and looked up at the beam of the room. The expression in his eyes was bone-chilling. “Eldest Brother, I didn’t expect you to actually come over.”

Xiao Fengjue who was dressed in black jumped down from the beam with an extremely sullen expression in his eyes. “Junyi, you actually made a person disguise as you and stay home?” He had only been suspicious, but he didn’t expect to see Chu Junyi here. Did Chu Junyi know what he was doing?

Chu Junyi smiled and said, “Eldest Brother, are you here to denounce me?” When Shen Xuanlin was performing fist movements outside, he noticed that someone was coming in, so he thought of a way to send Shen Ninghua away. However, he didn’t expect that this person was his eldest brother.

Xiao Fengjue looked at Chu Junyi with anger in his eyes, but he responded respectfully, “I dared not.”

Chu Junyi’s eyes suddenly shook. “Eldest Brother, I knew that I couldn’t hide this matter from you, but I didn’t expect you to discover it so quickly.”

“Why are you doing this? Do you know that Huanxi stays in your yard every day and is so anxious that she can’t even eat anything?”

Hearing this, Chu Junyi smiled coldly. “Eldest Brother, I told you earlier that I only treat Huanxi as my younger sister. We can only be siblings forever. In order to protect her reputation, you should persuade her to stay away from me.”

Xiao Fengjue narrowed his eyes with a hostile aura. “She only wants a place beside you!” Chu Junyi was destined to have countless women around him in the future. Xiao Huanxi grew up with him, so why couldn’t she be one of them?

“Eldest Brother!” Chu Junyi said in a cold voice, “You should know that once I make up my mind, I will not change. Besides, I don’t have a place beside me for her!”

“No place? Do you want to be together only with Shen Ninghua for the rest of your life?”

Chu Junyi was silent and there was increasing coldness in his eyes.

Xiao Fengjue sneered. “Did she ask you to do this? Oh, you haven’t told her your identity yet, right? What qualifications does she have to ask you to treat her like this? You are destined to have many women, and her personality is too strong. Letting her be your mistress will definitely leave no peace and quietness in your backyard. But if you don’t let her be your wife but a concubine, how can she accept it? Junyi, ever since Shen Ninghua returned to the capital, you’ve been paying attention to her and even delayed your own plans to help her, but is she grateful? I’m afraid it’s all your own wishful thinking!”

Chu Junyi frowned. His handsome face was cold like it was covered by snow. “Eldest Brother, it’s not suitable for you to sow discord!”

“Am I not telling the truth? A good man cannot be trapped in love. You have more important things to do!”

“If I can’t even keep the person I like by my side, I don’t need to do anything else.”

Xiao Fengjue suddenly raised his head and anger surged out. “For her, you don’t even want to take revenge on your mother?”

“You still remember my mother, but my foster-father must have forgotten, right?”

When Chu Junyi softly spat out the last few words, Xiao Fengjue’s entire body trembled. “Why do you think so?” Thinking back to his father’s attitude towards Huanxi, Xiao Fengjue felt a little uneasy.

“Eldest Brother, you can go back. You won’t tell anyone about someone disguising as me in the Xiao Mansion, right?”

Xiao Fengjue frowned. “Go back with me.”

“I won’t go back now.”

“You are a dignified man. How can you recover from an injury in a woman’s house?” Xiao Fengjue said coldly.

“That’s none of your business!” Chu Junyi stood upright, not avoiding Xiao Fengjue’s anger at all. Their powerful auras collided, causing the surrounding atmosphere to be so serious that it was hard to breathe.

Just as the two of them were about to come into a fight, a cold voice suddenly interrupted. “Master Xiao is also a dignified man, and yet you broke into a woman’s boudoir without permission. How can you do that?”

The two of them turned to look at the door at the same time.

Shen Ninghua stood at the door, dressed in an embroidered peony robe. Her figure was graceful, and her beautiful face was even brighter than anyone else’s in the world.

She slowly walked into the room and looked coldly at Xiao Fengjue. “Why don’t you answer my question? Did I say something wrong?”

For a moment, Xiao Fengjue did not know how to answer, but only looked at her coldly.

Shen Ninghua walked to a chair, sat down, and looked at Chu Junyi, who was slightly embarrassed at the side. When she entered the room, she felt the aura of a stranger. However, seeing Chu Junyi’s extremely cautious attitude, she walked out according to his wishes. When she was ready to come back and check, she saw Xiao Fengjue who was confronting Chu Junyi.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Ninghua’s eyes turned cold and she shouted, “Qing Que!”

The door of the room instantly slammed shut, and the light in the room dimmed. Xiao Fengjue suddenly raised his head and ran towards the door. However, he felt a blur in front of his eyes. His entire body became powerless and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Hearing the sound at the door, Qing Que came in with a rope from outside and tied Xiao Fengjue tightly.

Chu Junyi didn’t expect Shen Ninghua’s actions to be so swift and forceful. He didn’t even have time to stop her. “Ninghua, why did you tie him up?”

Shen Ninghua raised her head. “Shouldn’t he be arrested for trespassing?”

“Ninghua…”

Shen Ninghua looked straight at him, waiting for him to continue.

However, under her straightforward gaze, Chu Junyi did not know what to say. This time, he was intentionally testing Xiao Fengjue and did not really want to break away from the Xiao family. After all, the Xiao family had raised him. But how could he convince Ninghua?

How could Shen Ninghua not notice Chu Junyi’s dilemma? However, she had to force him to take his stance. After a series of incidents, she was already tied tightly to Chu Junyi. If he was unable to make a decision between her and the Xiao family, there would be a disaster sooner or later.

He who hesitated at the critical moment would suffer in the end. Since he was in a dilemma, she would help him make a decision!
