Daily life of working as a substitute bride for a wealthy family

When it came to deciding what to name their child, the couple, like most new parents in the world, racked their brains looking up dictionaries and historical allusions.

Finally, Xiang Ran suggested that the technical work of naming be outsourced to Grandpa Sheng Yang.

She has her own selfish motives.

Since the child is from the Sheng family, it is naturally best for Grandpa Sheng to name him and he attaches the most importance to it.

Mr. Sheng readily agreed.

Finally, the child was named Sheng Songxuan.

The previous two generations all had single names, and it was only from the great-grandson's generation that they all changed to double names.

When Xiang Ran learned the name, she was quite surprised - she didn't expect that Sheng Yang's grandfather, at his age, would come up with a name that sounded a bit like the name of the male protagonist in a romance novel.

Xiang Ran looked at her son in her arms.

The forehead is full and the ears are higher than the eyebrows.

Fortunately, this kid inherited his father's looks.

Otherwise, if I choose such an elegant name, what if I look too ugly?

-

The Sheng family originally decided to hold the "full moon banquet" first and then the "hundred-day banquet".

But Xiang Ran's plan was to find an opportunity to escape as soon as she finished her confinement. In order not to be distracted, she proposed to only hold a "hundred-day banquet".

Anyway, she will definitely leave within a hundred days.

As for how the "hundred-day banquet" would be held, she had no control over it.

As for Sheng Yang, as long as the matter does not involve his "principles", he seems willing to listen to his wife.

He personally persuaded his grandfather and mother to only hold a "hundred-day banquet".

There is no need to worry about Xiang Ran at all.

This is the advantage of finding an older "husband".

-

The man, who was five years older than her, had shed his youthfulness and recklessness and had undergone workplace training.

Do things properly and reassuringly.

He was there during the entire confinement period, and there was no chaos like other families.

Originally, Xiang Ran was very afraid of the concept of "confinement".

Whatever her adoptive mother heard, the postpartum confinement period of any woman in the village was a story of blood and tears.

Not to mention the people in the village, even people in the city are not immune.

Xiaomei, a colleague from the educational institution and a native of H City, once complained to Xiang Ran that the reason why her eyes teared when exposed to wind was because she was angered by her husband and cried during her confinement period.

From this we can see that whether the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be reconciled and whether the confinement period can be spent safely depends entirely on whether the husband has the ability and sense of responsibility.

On this point, Sheng Yang has done what he said.

During the first few days of Xiang Ran's confinement, he gave himself a day off, worked from home, and was available at any time.

In the days that followed, he basically turned down social engagements and unimportant meetings, and returned home early every day to spend time with his wife and children.

Don’t think that the Sheng family has a very “feudal” atmosphere in some aspects.

However, because Sheng Yang's generation studied abroad, their thinking in some aspects was relatively "Westernized".

For example, when it comes to participating in parenting, Xiang Ran always praises him for doing a good job.

One day, two days are nothing,

Long-term persistence is rare.

But Sheng Yang didn't think so.

He admitted that most of his foreign colleagues in his previous company could do the same.

You see, sometimes men can really influence each other.

But Sheng Yang’s best friend... seems to be Song Nan?

"Sheng Yang, you have such a good relationship with Song Nan, why is he like a playboy and always acts like a playboy?" Xiang Ran asked.

"Perhaps he hasn't met a woman who can truly tame him." Sheng Yang shrugged. "Besides, his family is far more complicated than mine, and the situation he faces is much more complex. But who knows, who knows, in the future this butterfly will have its wings broken by some woman."

"Oh? Then if Song Nan and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?" Xiang Ran asked suddenly.

"Wife, can you swim?" Sheng Yang asked.

Of course she does.

At the age of five or six, I followed my friends in the village and learned to doggy paddle in the pond using only a rubber tire. Later, I bravely went to the wild pond in the mountains to learn diving by holding stones.

But at this moment, she shook her head and said in a pinched voice: "No, I never learned it because I'm too timid."

"Of course I'll save you! Song Nan can swim." Sheng Yang said.

"What if Song Nan can't swim either?"

The dog man threw out his golden words again: "I don't respond to meaningless assumptions."

"No, no, this question must be answered."

Sheng Yang: "I would still save my wife first...even though he once saved my life. But in a critical situation, men should protect women first. This is a universal view."

Okay, Xiang Ran thought—I’ll let you go today.

Sheng Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, for he was afraid that she would be like some of the women in the jokes, endlessly assuming many strange and bizarre questions.

But what if she were to ask—"If your wife and mother fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?"

He also had his answer ready - "To save my wife, because my mother can swim."

So, we can only save her as she is a "landlubber".

-

Originally, the confinement period was one month, but Sheng Yang hired a confinement nanny for two months based on the advice of professionals.

But Xiang Ran recovered well, and after one month, she was able to move freely.

She invited a hairdresser to her home. As the weather got warmer, she cut her long hair shorter, to shoulder length, which looked neat and refreshing.

There are no exaggerated stretch marks or belly.

It’s just because she has to express milk and feed the baby every day that she doesn’t sleep well.

But because of this, the weight loss is also fast.

She weighed 135 kilograms before giving birth, and one month after giving birth, she recovered to more than 90 kilograms.

-

The refrigerator is already filled with her expressed breast milk in bags, enough to last the little one another month.

So she began to plan to "run away".

Su Yue recently discussed with her when it would be best to swap the two of them. Xiang Ran simply refused, saying that Sheng Yang now required her to stay in confinement for two months.

Let him wait over there.

For safety reasons, Xiang Ran felt that she should first "escape" abroad, confirm her personal safety, and then notify Su Yue. This would be safer.

As for the last month's commission, she didn't want to ask the Su family for it.

After counting the money in each of his bank cards, he found that it exceeded 10 million.

According to what is shown in TV dramas, if a person knows too many secrets and has a lot of money at the same time, it will definitely be very dangerous.

Even if you have money, you need life to spend it.

Not long after, Xiang Ran finally got her chance—Sheng Yang was going on a business trip.

Before and after giving birth, he did not go on business trips for almost two months in order to take care of his family.

But there are some things that require his presence, so he has to go in person.

"Hubby, don't worry about your business trip. I'm recovering well, and Aunt Gao and the others are living at home. Although Aunt Zeng doesn't live here now, she still comes to see me every day. Look, so many people are taking care of your son."

Xiang Ran hopes he will leave sooner.

She'd better prepare early.

"I'm on a long business trip this time. I'll go to Shenzhen first, then to Country Z and Country F, but I'll be back as soon as possible."
