Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 1100 - 1089 Night Talk

Xia Yue was truly tempted by the proposal from the System. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was an excellent idea.

She kept thinking about this issue in her head and couldn’t sleep. Helplessly, she got up and walked into the courtyard, looking in the direction of Yan Mo’s room, wondering whether to talk to him or not. She didn’t know if he would agree.

Then she thought if he didn’t agree, it would be better to part ways early, to avoid both getting hurt later, unable to even be friends. It’s better to part peacefully now while they can still remain friends.

Delving deeper into her thoughts, she didn’t even notice when Yan Mo came out of the room.

Yan Mo was originally cultivating in his room. When he awoke from his cultivation, he instinctively scanned outside with his Divine Sense and found that Xia Yue was not asleep but was sitting in the yard, lost in thought. So he came out to have a look.

He walked in front of Xia Yue, who still hadn’t reacted, her eyes vacant, her expression shifting from happy to sad. Yan Mo couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, waving a hand in front of her.

Xia Yue felt something waving in front of her, only then did she snap back to reality. Seeing it was Yan Mo, she was startled, then finally realized what was happening.

"Why are you sitting outside in the middle of the night, not sleeping? Do you have something on your mind?" Yan Mo asked concernedly, sitting down beside her when he saw she had come to.

Xia Yue looked at him silently for a while, hesitating whether to talk to him.

"What’s up? Something to do with me?" Seeing her conflicted expression as she looked at him, Yan Mo speculated it might have something to do with him, so he spoke up proactively.

"It does have some relation, but I don’t know how to start." Xia Yue nodded and said.

"Then speak when you feel ready. Why bother losing sleep at night over it." Yan Mo said, looking at her, then feeling a thought, his eyes turned a little sharp as he asked her, "You’re not thinking of breaking up with me, are you?"

Hearing his thought, Xia Yue looked at him in surprise.

This reaction, in Yan Mo’s view, confirmed that she was indeed contemplating it, hesitating whether to tell him. Yan Mo became anxious, thinking maybe he had been too busy lately without time for her, making her upset, and now she didn’t want to be in a relationship with him. He hurriedly explained to her that he was done with his tasks and would have lots of time to spend with her now.

Seeing his panicked look, Xia Yue hastily waved her hands, telling him it wasn’t like that and to calm down.

Yan Mo looked into Xia Yue’s eyes, certain that she was telling the truth, not just comforting him, he finally calmed down a bit and then asked, "Then what were you hesitant to talk about? Don’t worry, I won’t get mad, I’m sure of it." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Xia Yue looked into his eyes, still a little nervous and afraid. If she didn’t tell him, he likely wouldn’t be able to sleep either. Thinking it over, it was better to just say it. After all, putting it off wouldn’t change anything, so best to address it sooner rather than later.

"Close your eyes first, and only open them when I tell you to." Xia Yue said to him.

"Alright." Yan Mo, though puzzled, obediently closed his eyes.

Xia Yue called out the System, standing in front of Yan Mo.

"You can open your eyes now." Xia Yue kept her eyes on Yan Mo, waiting for his reaction.

Yan Mo opened his eyes and saw in front of him a child looking about two or three years old, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes. After a closer look, he found it very familiar.

"Daddy!" The System rushed over and hugged his leg, calling him softly.

"I’m not your daddy." Yan Mo immediately retorted, then looked towards Xia Yue and explained, "I’m not his dad. I haven’t been with anyone else."

"Pfff hahaha."

Xia Yue couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction, then beckoned to the System.

"I’m serious." Yan Mo said seriously, watching the System run to Xia Yue’s side. Suddenly, something felt off; the child not only looked like him but had some features resembling Xia Yue too.

"Who is this?" Yan Mo asked, looking at them.

"This is the System; it returned after successfully completing the transformation test." Xia Yue introduced it to him.

"Then why does it look like us?" Yan Mo, hearing it was the System, felt a breath of relief, then asked.

Xia Yue explained the situation to him, along with her dilemma, in one breath, watching for his reaction.

"So this was your dilemma." Yan Mo said, looking at her with a face of helplessness, noticing a hint of nervousness on her face, he continued, "I think it’s a good idea, but this might have a negative impact on your reputation. Are you truly willing to be spoken of as having a child out of wedlock? Actually, with our cultivation now, life spans are long, so there’s no need to worry too much about kids. If you’re concerned about pressure from the elders to marry, I’ll talk to them."

Seeing Yan Mo’s sincere and earnest expression, Xia Yue’s heart couldn’t help but race a few beats. Truth be told, his words were very satisfying.

"Why fear being talked about? After all, aren’t there many people here who just want children and not a husband? When the time comes, just say that you’re not sincere enough, so the Host doesn’t want to marry you. Given my Host’s qualifications, if she wanted to take a consort, men could line up around the earth, and she could even find someone from another realm. If she doesn’t marry and only wants a child, it might even make others happier, thinking they have a chance." The System said, looking at them, as it wasn’t like ancient feudal times when not marrying would lead to social ostracism or worse.

"He’s right, given your current conditions, I might not even be worthy of you. If you want to be in a relationship, we can just keep dating and not necessarily use him as a shield. Whatever feels comfortable.

"Don’t you want to get married? Or want a child?" Xia Yue asked him, though she believed in love, sometimes love alone wasn’t enough.

"Whether we get married or not doesn’t matter, what’s important is being with you. As for having children, I don’t actually think I’d make a good father, given my career wouldn’t allow me to be a normal dad to accompany him growing up. So children aren’t in my life plan, but if you want children, I’ll do my best to be a normal dad and raise him with you. If not, luckily he can be our child; he really looks like us, and he’s adorable." Yan Mo said thoughtfully, organizing his words to express his views to Xia Yue.

Xia Yue would be lying if she said she wasn’t moved, because after reading so many years of novels, she still yearned for love, especially when this person was her crush from middle and high school.

"Thank you for playing along with my whims." Xia Yue hugged him, her voice carrying joy as she spoke to him.

"This isn’t just a whim, it’s being responsible for ourselves, and you deserve it." Yan Mo hugged her back, whispering softly.
