'It'd be amazing if you really got pregnant today,' Jin Liwei thought inside his head. Or at least, he thought that it was inside his head. He didn't realize that he said it out loud.
Iris asked, "Do you really want to be a father that much?"
"Not particularly," he replied while stroking her hair. "Before I met you, I always thought that babies and kids are messy, annoying, and a hassle to take care of. I had no interest in having them at all. But I'm the head of the Jins, so I'm expected to produce an heir someday. I always view it as a duty that I would have to force myself to fulfill. I kept putting it off even though relatives kept on trying to matchmake me to potential marriage partners. I was too focused on running the company and the clan that before I knew it, I was already in my thirties. I figured that before I become too old, I would just pick a random woman to wed and become my wife, and then force myself to impregnate her so that I could have my required heir."
