Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Looking at Ai Shutong speaking in fluent English on the stage, Li Maili's eyes flashed with pride.

He tilted his head and whispered to Ina, "I really hope the baby in your belly can be as good as Shutong."

Li Maili had three sons, but lost two of them. Only one, Li Renchao, survived. He is 27 years old this year and has a son and a daughter.

Ina knew that he wanted a son, so she deliberately said, "If it's the same as Shutong, wouldn't it be a daughter?"

"You have three daughters in Beijing, so you shouldn't be short of daughters, right?"

Li Maili thought of the three daughters who had their feet bound by Jiang's family, and they were not living well now. On the contrary, Ai Shutong, who had a pair of big feet, was doing well with her own ability.

I couldn't help but deny it: "I just lack a daughter like Shutong. If you give birth to a daughter, I will make the decision and let you raise her yourself."

Ina pressed, “You won’t interfere with my daughter’s upbringing?”

Li Maili patted her hands comfortingly: "Don't interfere. No one can interfere."

Ina laughed immediately. She knew that this man respected his legal wife in Beijing very much. According to Chinese custom, if he gave birth to a child, he had to ask his legal wife for her opinion on whether he could raise the child himself.

If the other party insisted on taking the child to Beijing to be raised, she could of course refuse, but that would inevitably lead to conflicts with the man, which would go against the original intention of her pregnancy.

In the evening, a grand graduation dance was held in the school auditorium.

Ai Shutong invited Shen Jiaxing to attend the dance as her male partner.

Shen Jiaxing looked several years younger in his white shirt and black trousers produced by Nishang.

That’s right, Nichang has now started men’s clothing business, and the response has been good.

When Ai Shutong saw Shen Jiaxing dressed like this, she couldn't help but praise him, "Teacher Shen doesn't look like a man in his thirties when he's dressed like this!"

Shen Jiaxing glanced at Ai Shutong unhappily, "Are you praising me or insulting me? I'm only thirty-two, and I think I can compete with twenty-nine."

Ai Shutong asked curiously: "You men, do you also care about others talking about your age?"

Shen Jiaxing: “Of course!”

"When I was studying in the UK, I learned not to ask three questions. First, don't ask about age, second, don't ask about salary, and third, don't ask about country."

After hearing this, Ai Shutong hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Teacher Shen, I offended you just now."

Shen Jiaxing took out a box and handed it to her: "I know you are joking, I won't take it seriously. This is a graduation gift for you, see if you like it."

Ai Shutong took it and opened it to reveal a golden necklace. "I like it. I like gold the best."

After hearing her answer, Shen Jiaxing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He designed this himself. If he had known she would say this, why would he have stayed up late? He could have just bought her a big gold chain weighing one or two kilograms.

He thought so and said it directly.

Ai Shutong's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Of course! Don't just say one or two pounds, three or four pounds will do! I don't mind it being too heavy!"

Shen Jiaxing: "You always said I was a straight man in the past, but today I will give it back to you."

The two were chatting happily when unexpectedly a Cheng Yaojin interrupted them.

Tang E, wearing a black tuxedo and a bow tie, bowed to Ai Shutong, then straightened his chest and abdomen, and extended his right hand in front of Ai Shutong, "Miss, can I ask you to dance with me?"

Ai Shutong's relationship with Tang E has eased a lot in the past two years, but she still doesn't want to dance with him, so she directly refused: "I want to rest for a while, please ask someone else to dance!"

Tang E was at a loss when he saw that things did not develop as he had planned. Fortunately, he had asked for assistance beforehand.

Luo Cisui held a glass of red wine and advised: "Shutong, go dance. We finally graduated, we should relax."

Tang E immediately looked at Luo Cisui with gratitude, then turned and looked at Ai Shutong expectantly.

Ai Shutong sighed helplessly, "I'm really tired. If it weren't for the graduation dance, I would have gone back to rest by now!"

Tang E and Fang Bozhong in the distance looked at each other, the other party nodded, and the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed.

Two beams of light suddenly shone on Ai Shutong and Tang E.

Tang E took out a small box from his pocket, knelt on one leg on the ground, opened the small box, and held it in front of Ai Shutong, "Shutong, marry me!"

Ai Shutong was confused. What was he doing? Acting?

"What are you doing?"

Luo Cisui reminded her excitedly, "He's proposing to you! How romantic! Shutong, agree to him!"

People gathered around one after another, and kept saying, "Promise him! Promise him..."

The atmosphere was really good. If she were an ordinary girl, she might have agreed to it because of the atmosphere.

But who is Ai Shutong? This is all leftover from the 21st century. She directly said, "If you want to be with him, then stand up and agree to him! What kind of hero are you if you push me out?!"

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Tang E, "Mr. Tang, what are you doing? We are not familiar with each other, and we don't have any special relationship. Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Are you trying to kidnap and force me?"

Tang E quickly shook his head and explained, "No, no, no, it all depends on your wishes. I will never force you!"

Ai Shutong nodded and said loudly: "Hurry up and turn on the headlights. Why are you making it so dark?"

"Tang E and I are just classmates. We have never been more than classmates. Please stop making trouble. I don't want to step into the cage of misfortune because of your nonsense."

Tang E was dissatisfied and said, "Although I am not an outstanding man, I am not bad looking, my family background is decent, and my ability and knowledge are outstanding. How can marrying me mean you are stepping into the cage of misfortune?"

Ai Shutong retorted: "I have everything you have, and I also have everything you don't have. If I married you, I would definitely not be living as comfortably as I am now. Tell me, why should I spend money to go to your house and suffer?"

Tang E stood up all of a sudden and asked excitedly, "Why are you asking for trouble?"

Ai Shutong: "Then let me be clear. I can eat whatever I want, wear whatever I want, sleep as late as I want, and I don't have to have children or do housework."

"But if I marry you, can you serve the food I like at your table? Can I wear a sleeveless slit cheongsam? Can I sleep until noon? Can I not have children and not serve you?"

……

Everyone's eyes suddenly changed when they looked at Ai Shutong. They pointed and whispered.

"can!"

The sonorous voice echoed in the hall.

Everyone looked at Tang E as if he was a fool. Tang E waved his hands hurriedly, "I didn't say that."

"I said it!"

Shen Jiaxing pushed Tang E out of the beam of light and stepped in himself.

"I have four houses of my own. You can live in whichever one you want. You don't have to live with my parents."

"You have the final say at home. If you want to eat something, just tell the cook to make it."
