Cradling his wife’s face with both hands, Lan Wangji gently peels the damp blindfold off of his love’s sweaty skin. He places reverent kisses to the back of his closed eyes, taking in the sight of his omega’s relaxed face, so unburdened with everything he’s been shouldering all on his own since the start of the war.
He has a feeling that his relationship with his wife will be nothing like his father’s. Xiongzhang will be on his side, no matter how reluctantly, along with Uncle. If the elders are so keen to repeat their past mistakes, Lan Wangji has no reservations about putting them in their place.
Most importantly, however, is that he knows he can teach Wei Wuxian to love him. He’s already halfway there, despite everything Lan Wangji’s done to him, and he has plenty of time to make his pregnant mate completely dependent upon him, to win his approval.
He doesn’t need a second child to try and force a connection with his beloved, but he certainly won’t say no if his wife asks for more, once everything settles.
