Li Xiu smiled. "I never wanted that many kids in the first place. This pregnancy was an accident, and who knows if there'll be another? I've already asked the doctor, and abortions are just too hard on the body. My wife is already a bit frail, so it's better if I'm the one to take preventative measures. Besides, it's a minor surgery. It won't have any long-term effects on my health."
Elder Ping, who was busy teasing Nuonuo, looked up at the sound of his voice. He glanced at Li Xiu and said airily, "You really do dote on your wife, don't you?"
"If I don't dote on my own wife, who else is going to? Besides, my wife is gentle, virtuous, smart, and beautiful. It's only natural that I'd spoil her a little!" Li Xiu said, pointedly ignoring the strange undercurrent in Elder Ping's tone. It didn't matter what anyone said about this. 'My wife is a treasure I hold in the palm of my hand. She's my life!'
