So Qi Boxun really was infertile!
That was the only explanation for Qi Boxun's unusual behavior!
Once Zhou Jiuer figured that out, she actually calmed down.
Right now, Qi Boxun and his faction were being suppressed by Madam Qi and her faction at every turn.

"Talk about what?"
"Our future."
Qi Boxun said nothing. He wanted to hear
