The servants brought several cups of hot tea forward and retreated to the side for further instructions.

Bai Chongshan picked up one of the cups and took a sip. He then spoke to the servants by the side. “Leave us.”

“Understood.” The servants immediately left.

The living room instantly became quiet.

Fang Xinxin understood that the Elder had something to say and it was most likely related to her difficulties in conceiving. She quietly waited for him to speak.

Two minutes later, Ye Yunzhi glanced at Bai Chongshan, who appeared too uncomfortable to begin. She said, “Father, how about I tell Xinxin about it.”

“It’s fine. Let me do it.” Bai Chongshan sized Fang Xinxin up. “Little brat, Grandfather is really very satisfied with you.”

“Thank you, Grandfather.” Xinxin thanked him sweetly.

He sighed and waved his hand. “We’re a family. There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Xinxin ah, as you know, Grandfather isn’t young anymore. I have one foot in my grave and my only hope is to hold my great-grandson. But your stomach is really disappointing.”

Fang Xinxin was also helpless. “I’ve let Grandfather down.”

“Grandfather knows that your relationship with Qinghao is very strong, but for a family to be complete, you need a child. In order for a family line to continue, we need a successor.”

Bai Chongshan appeared especially pained as he spoke. “Grandfather isn’t being impatient. Although you’ve only been married to Qinghao for a year, you’ve cohabitated with him for a long time. It’s been three years. Yet, you still don’t have a child.”

Fang Xinxin did not wish to go in circles. She asked directly. “In that case, what would you like to do?”

“Qinghao and you are a good match. You cannot be separated.” Bai Chongshan spoke up. “But the Bai family needs a successor…”

He fell silent and struggled to continue.

Fang Xinxin waited patiently.

Bai Chongshan picked up his cup for another sip before he continued. “Two months ago, your Aunt, Huang Zhishu, suggested letting another woman have Bai Qinghao’s child. Afterwards, the two of you can raise the child together. This idea isn’t too bad.”

Fang Xinxin’s expression turned cold.

Ye Yunzhi rushed to add on. “Don’t worry. Once the woman has given birth, we will send her far away and keep her from ever reappearing in front of you. She won’t affect your position as Madam Bai.”

Fang Xinxin smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. “With my status and position, do you think the title of ‘Madam Bai’ matters to me?”

“Mom knows that it doesn’t matter to you.” Ye Yunzhi’s gaze was filled with helplessness. “But we truly don’t have any other methods…”

“Didn’t Bai Qinghao tell you guys?” Fang Xinxin was expressionless. “If we can’t have a child, we’ll adopt one.”

“Nonsense!” Bai Chongshan raised his voice. “Those children won’t be of the Bai family’s bloodline. Even Huang Zhishu and her children are an eyesore. I definitely won’t agree to adopting!”

Fang Xinxin glanced at them indifferently. “If you’ve already decided to find Bai Qinghao another woman, why did you come to me?”

She did not care for the Bai family’s elders’ decisions.

At most, after her feelings towards them faded, she would never speak to them again.

Regardless, she had utmost confidence that Bai Qinghao would not touch another woman.

Ye Yunzhi began carefully. “Your grandfather, your father and I, all respect you. Although we’ve begun considering this two months ago, we’ve never done anything. We’ve also never brought any women to Qinghao.”

“That’s right.” Fang Xinxin smiled. “That is why I still addressed you as ‘Mom’ today.” She then turned to Bai Chongshan. “And you as ‘Grandfather’..”
