A thought suddenly occurred to Bai Xi. She asked Du Yao warily, "You don't have any children, do you?"
Bai Xi only ever planned on having one child, Bai Yunyun, and doting on her alone. Since Bai Yunyun put her mother first, it was only fair that Bai Xi put Bai Yunyun first in her heart as well.
"Bao Bao will be my only child," she told Du Yao solemnly.
Du Yao paused for a moment, then chuckled. "It's you I want, not children. If you're willing, I'd happily remain child-free for the rest of my life."
Bai Yunyun's sense of alarm reached its peak. 'He really *is* a swindler! But he's not after me, he's after Mom!'
"Nooo! Bao Bao only wants Mommy!" Bai Yunyun clung desperately to Bai Xi, protesting with all her might.
'She knew what would happen! After Mommy gets married, she'll sleep with her husband, and then Bao Bao will have to sleep all alone!'
Du Yao smiled faintly. "It's alright. We can talk about our relationship after she's ready to accept me."
