Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Shen Jiaxing was amused by her words, "What's the big deal? It's so serious."

Ai Shutong rolled her eyes and said, "Promise to listen to me first, and then I'll tell you."

Shen Jiaxing nodded, "Okay, go ahead!"

Ai Shutong didn't know if he could still remain calm after hearing this, but now that things had come to this, she could only confess to him.

"I want a child, can you give it to me?"

Shen Jiaxing's smile froze, and he asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you were afraid of pain and didn't want to have a baby?"

Ai Shutong sighed deeply, "I really didn't want one before. In this turbulent era, I was afraid that having a child would be a pain, and maybe the child would die before me. I couldn't bear the thought."

Shen Jiaxing wondered, "Why do you want it again now?"

Ai Shutong rolled her eyes in her heart and kept complaining, because he came without saying hello, and I couldn't bear to abort the baby, so I had to give birth to the baby.

I thought so in my heart, but I said something else, "I am thinking of going to the United States to study for a master's degree in a few years. I will definitely be lonely when I leave here. I want to have a child to accompany me."

Shen Jiaxing: “…”

Why do I think this idea is so weird? But think about how unorthodox I used to be, and then look at Ai Shutong now.

He nodded in his heart. No wonder I fell in love with her. It turns out we are a perfect match!

"I can't bear the pain of childbirth for you. If you have made up your mind, I will respect your decision."

At this point, Ai Shutong asked cautiously, "Is it okay not to get married?"

Shen Jiaxing looked at her disapprovingly, "Since you have decided to have a child, you should get married first. This will give the child a complete family and will be beneficial to his growth."

Ai Shutong nodded quickly, "I agree with you. I want to say that we should have a child first, and then get married when the child is older and sensible."

Shen Jiaxing looked at her in confusion, "Is there any difference?"

Ai Shutong was afraid that if she married him now, he or his family would express different opinions when she dealt with the property.

She certainly wouldn't listen to their opinions, but she didn't want to conflict with them, so she thought about getting married after she had dealt with the property.

"As you know, I have a lot of property. I want to sell some of it and donate it to orphanages and relief homes."

"But if I marry you, there's no guarantee that your family won't object to the way I handle the situation."

Shen Jiaxing nodded, "You're right! My uncle is back, and my parents are actively looking for an aunt for me. If we get married, there's no guarantee that they won't turn their attention to us, which will definitely be very troublesome."

Ai Shutong looked at him happily, "You agreed?"

Shen Jiaxing helped her tuck the hair behind her ears. "How could I not agree? After all, it was my parents who brought about the negative consequences."

"I'm afraid if I don't agree, you'll break up with me."

Ai Shutong felt guilty and didn't dare to look at him, because she had indeed had this idea before. But considering his personality, he would not let it go if he knew she had given birth to his child, so she silently gave up the plan.

"Since you've agreed, you can't go back on your word."

Shen Jiaxing: "How could I regret it? If you give me a child, I will be so happy!"

At the end of the meal, Ai Shutong finally started eating the fish on the table. She picked up a big piece and put it directly into her mouth without even picking out the bones.

"Wow--"

She vomited it out as she wished.

Shen Jiaxing rushed forward and hugged her, "Is the food not fresh? Do you have a stomachache? I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

Shen Jiaxing's voice rang out from the director's office of Rensheng Hospital, "What did you say? She, she is pregnant?"

Ai Shutong was like a quail, with her head hung and not saying a word.

Liao Tao rolled his eyes. "What are you yelling about? It just makes you look loud! It's just that your student is pregnant, not you!"

Shen Jiaxing: "She, she, she is..."

She thought for a long time, but Shen Jiaxing was still rational and did not tell her that Ai Shutong was his girlfriend.

If Liao Tao knew about this, there was no guarantee that other classmates would not know about it, and then it would inevitably reach the ears of his parents.

Seeing his old classmate looking upset, Liao Tao said disdainfully, "Shen Jiaxing, you are going backwards as you grow older. How can you be so ignorant? It's really embarrassing."

"You have been teaching at Aurora University for such a long time, and you have never encountered other female students getting pregnant?"

"What's there to be surprised about? It's easy for girls to get pregnant. She's not a boy. Stay calm!"

Finally, Shen Jiaxing calmed down and asked, "She just vomited. Is the baby in her belly okay? Do you want some medicine?"

Liao Tao: "It's just normal morning sickness. What medicine should I take? Abortion pills? Our hospital is very formal and we won't perform abortions on anyone without permission."

Shen Jiaxing's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. Finally, he asked tentatively, "Are you really okay? Then shall we go?"

Liao Tao waved his hands impatiently, "Get lost now, don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future, I'm busy!"

Shen Jiaxing left without saying a word, taking Ai Shutong away.

The two of them got into the car silently. Shen Jiaxing didn't rush to start the car. After a few minutes of silence, he said in a hoarse voice: "Did you know this a long time ago?"

Ai Shutong uttered a low "hmm".

Shen Jiaxing slapped the steering wheel angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Ai Shutong was silent for a few seconds, then calmly explained, "You know, Jin Hengshu and Li Yanran restricted my personal freedom before, and I'm afraid of going back to that kind of life again."

"I know how much your parents value their offspring. What if they restrict my freedom? I don't dare to take the risk."

"Only if you promise me in person that you will have a child first and get married later, will I dare to let you know."

Shen Jiaxing has always known that Ai Shutong lacks a sense of security. In the past few years, he thought he had given her enough sense of security, but he didn't expect that she still didn't trust him.

"You really disappoint me. You have known me for more than ten years. Do you really not trust my character?"

Ai Shutong: "Sometimes, it's not that you don't want to hurt me that I won't be hurt. Do you remember a few years ago when your mother went to my house and insulted me face to face?"

"Subjectively speaking, you certainly don't want me to get hurt, but objectively, I am still hurt."

After a long silence, Shen Jiaxing hugged Ai Shutong and said, "I'm sorry, Shutong."

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you again."

Ai Shutong sensed his sadness and patted his back soothingly, "Don't push yourself too hard. I'm not a dodder that needs protection all the time. I'm a queen of flowers."

Shen Jiaxing suddenly thought of a question, "The baby is due to be born in a few months, but we haven't prepared anything."

"Shouldn't we find an experienced mother to give us some advice?"
