"Do you really dislike children?" Wesley asked.
"I wouldn't say I dislike them. Harry and... Harry is very cute." Xiao Qiao praised Harry like a blooming flower, actually wanting to praise Dudu too, but feared Wesley might overthink it. After all, there's a rumor in the Itinerant World that she secretly likes Mu Liang, and praising Mu Liang's son doesn't quite fit her style.
"What if you get pregnant?"
"There's no 'what if'!" Xiao Qiao raised an eyebrow.
"It's not something you can control."
"Is it something you can control then?" Xiao Qiao raised an eyebrow and looked at him defiantly. Wesley fell silent. Xiao Qiao had been having the illusion lately that a domineering Lieutenant Commander was in love with her. Despite having a sharp tongue, she was afraid that teasing him would spark a fire she couldn't handle, feeling utterly stifled.
Hopefully, it's just her imagination.
