The little Emperor was left speechless by the direct question.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know how to proceed.
He intended to tell Lin Yi the truth, but after much thought, he closed his mouth again.
After all, he wasn't sure whether it was right or wrong to tell Lin Yi about this matter.
What if, indeed, Lin Yi did not want this child? What then?
In short, the little Emperor was not yet prepared to reveal this matter to Lin Yi,
but seeing Lin Yi's naughty demeanor, as well as his imminent attacking stance,
made the little Emperor lose his composure instantly.
Thus, he began to struggle in a flurry,
yet he dared not move too violently, fearing that his struggles might affect the child in his belly.
It was at that moment the little Emperor suddenly blurted out a sentence, a statement that petrified Lin Yi on the spot.
"Stop right there, you rogue! If you harm the treasure in my belly, I... will definitely have your dog head chopped off."
