Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Junwan said expressionlessly, "Since the Prince is already afraid, then the Prince should stop thinking about letting me manage the Prince's Mansion's assets. Find someone else."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "I was indeed worried for a moment, but then I thought, the conditions for becoming a Celestial are extremely important for someone in the Unity Realm. No one would willingly share their Celestial test, for if they did, others might find ways to prevent them from achieving Unity."

"Since you disclosed it of your own volition, it proves that the Celestial test is definitely not that."

Seeing that Lu Chen had guessed she was lying just now, Wu Junwan still did not care in the slightest; what did it matter if he guessed correctly? Her words had already planted the seeds of doubt in Lu Chen's heart – he could never fully trust her.

Just when Wu Junwan thought that Lu Chen wouldn't let her get involved with the North Prince Mansion's assets anymore, Lu Chen continued, "If your Celestial test is not to betray me, but it's somehow related to me, then I guess that your test is probably to bear me a child."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Junwan tensed up, body and soul. She had not expected Lu Chen to guess her Celestial test so easily.

Feeling Wu Junwan's body suddenly tense up, as if she were very nervous, Lu Chen whispered in her ear, "Wanyan, darling, such a big reaction – it seems I've hit the mark, eh?"

Wu Junwan snapped back to reality and scoffed, quickly denying, "Ridiculous. How could the Celestial test in this world be something as simple as bearing a child? You're really wild in your imagination."

Lu Chen said, "Oh? It's not about bearing a child?"

"Do you think bearing a child is a simple matter?"

"Since it's not one, could it be two kids then?"

This...

Wu Junwan was briefly taken aback and became nervous once more. In their current state, even the slightest tension in Wu Junwan's body was easily perceived by Lu Chen.

Noticing that Wu Junwan tensed up again, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Wanyan, darling, why are you nervous again? It looks like I've guessed correctly this time."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wu Junwan said coldly, "Did the Prince come here today just to force out the nature of my Celestial test?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Are you trying to change the subject?"

"Thinking about it, I must be very close to the answer. Since it's not two, could it be three?"

"Hmm, I'm certain my guess is right, you must become a Celestial by bearing me three children!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Junwan froze completely; this rascal had actually guessed it right.

Although Lu Chen had guessed correctly, Wu Junwan would certainly not admit it. She said coldly, "If the Prince has no other business, you may leave."

Lu Chen said, "How could I have no other business? Since I have come to find you, our morning exercise is definitely going to proceed."

With that, Lu Chen lifted his hands and directly placed Wu Junwan's on the edge of the bath, letting her arms rest on the side, and they began their morning exercise.

Lu Chen didn't push Wu Junwan too hard; he had not forgotten the real reason for coming that day. After a while, he wrapped his arms around Wu Junwan's waist, letting her sit in his embrace, and then said, "I still trust you rather much. Starting from tomorrow, you'll assist Zixuan in managing the Prince's Mansion's assets. Tomorrow, I will take you to meet Zixuan."

Seeing that Lu Chen had made up his mind, Wu Junwan said indifferently, "Could it be the Prince really believes that my Celestial test is to bear the Prince three children?"

If Lu Chen didn't believe that, how could he dare to make such a decision? This left Wu Junwan somewhat puzzled.

This young man was being rather too bold.

Lu Chen said with a smile, "You're not good at keeping secrets. Your body was so tense just now, looking very nervous; it's obvious that I guessed right."

Hearing Lu Chen's response, Wu Junwan fell silent.

She couldn't help it; this man had put her through "torture" as soon as he arrived. If she showed any sign of nervousness, he would immediately notice. It seemed to her now that no matter how much she argued, it would be useless. He was convinced her Celestial test must be to bear him children.

It was done. Since she had already been guessed, there was no point in lingering on it; as long as she didn't admit it, it should be fine.

Thinking this, Wu Junwan said, "I only hope the Prince won't regret it."

Lu Chen said, "Since I have already decided, I will not regret it."

"I believe with your help, the Prince's Mansion's assets can continue to expand."

Wu Junwan didn't say anything more.

At that moment, Lu Chen let go of Wu Junwan, got out of the bath, and a maid hurried over with a towel to dry him off. Lu Chen said, "I still have things to do, so I'll leave first. Take your time with your bath."

Wu Junwan scoffed; this darn man, after all was done, he just ran off.

Once Lu Chen was dressed, he went straight to the study.

After coming out of the bath, Wu Junwan sat down at the dressing table and looked at her reflection in the mirror, slightly zoning out.

She felt that she was tightly ensnared by the young man, likely never to escape his grasp in this lifetime.

Not only could she not separate her body and heart from him, but even her breakthrough test to become a Celestial was connected to this man – and he had so easily guessed what the test was.
