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

Sheng Yang put his hand on her lower abdomen: "Does it still hurt here?"

"No." Xiang Ran shook her head. "You were the one who invited Professor Zhao last time, right?"

"Yeah. I heard you got a gynecological infection from falling into the water, and you're feeling really bad about it, but you refuse to acknowledge me, so I had to ask him to put on a show."

"Actually, before this, I saw many doctors but nothing worked for me. Later... I regretted it myself. I was panicking and thought I was a good swimmer, so I jumped in."

"I knew you fell into the water, and I searched for you for a long time. When I was most desperate, I almost wanted to hug Song Xuan..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Xiang Ran got up in fear and covered his mouth. "You're not that extreme, are you?"

Sheng Yang moved her hand away: "Why didn't you think about my feelings when you jumped into the lake?

You clearly want me to feel guilty and blame myself.

But you don't know that the moment you jumped, I was pulled into the vortex and sank.

The difference is, you float up quickly.

And I was drowning the whole time.

It wasn't until I heard that my son had pneumonia and was hospitalized that I suddenly realized that I still had the responsibility of being a father.

Moreover, I am not only a father, but also the chairman of Yixing.

I just took over the burden from my uncle,

I have so many projects on hand, I can't give up.

It was as if a load-bearing pillar had been nailed to the wall.

It can rot and decay, but it cannot escape."

Sheng Yang said this with an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes.

Xiang Ran touched the blue stubble on his chin: "I'm sorry, so I tried to return the bracelet to you at that time, just to tell you that I'm still alive."

"Your idea is quite cruel. That was a gift from your grandfather, and you actually..."

Xiang Ran suddenly remembered the corpse. She asked, "Did you find the bracelet in your pocket later? I specifically told them not to wear it on the corpse. Also, did you bury the body later—"

"She was buried, and a French ceremony was held." Sheng Yang pinched her earlobe. "So you're still afraid of taboos. But are you doing this to live up to the friendship of our Sheng family?"

"I have no other choice. This is the only token I have on me. I can't walk out on the street and yell, 'I'm still alive!'" Xiang Ran said coquettishly, "I'm afraid you'll catch me and torture me."

"I never hit women." Sheng Yang added, "Only occasionally... I'll pinch my wife in bed..."

Xiang Ran couldn't help but put her hand under Sheng Yang's clothes.

She pinched his waist and asked flatteringly, "Where's the bracelet? Did you bring it back home?"

Sheng Yang narrowed his eyes: "Guess?"

"You're not going to throw it away, are you?" Xiang Ran frowned. "It's an antique."

"If you don't want it anymore, why should I keep it?"

Xiang Ran slapped her thigh anxiously, "Really thrown it away? Oh my! All those gold, silver, and jewelry on the market are antiques. I don't know how many people have passed through their hands. Many of them might even be from tombs."

"No! I auctioned it off, and I donated the proceeds to Qingluan Middle School." Sheng Yang pursed his lips, "Unfortunately, the bracelet is worth much more than this price. It carries other emotions.

But at least it is shining and giving off heat, which is better than just being sealed in a tomb as cold gold, silver, copper or iron, or sinking to the bottom of a lake."

"You were planning to seal the bracelet in a tomb? What tomb?"

"A joint tomb," he said in a deep voice, "for both of us."

Xiang Ran swallowed her saliva.

I thought this guy was really obsessed.

"Then I thought, 'When a person dies, everything is empty. What can gold, silver, copper, and iron prove? Love isn't defined by gold or silver. It's not defined by others.' So I didn't put it in."

Sheng Yang's eyes were like the morning mist in the mountains, light and clear.

Cool.

Xiang Ran stretched out her fingertips and touched his eyelashes: "Why are you building a cemetery at such a young age?"

"If you had spit out more blood at the Xu family last time, wouldn't it have been almost used?" Sheng Yang said sarcastically.

Xiang Ran held his face in her hands and pointed it toward the window: "Hurry up and say it—Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Sheng Yang stiffened his neck awkwardly and looked at her without saying a word.

Xiang Ran rode on him: "Speak or not!"

Sheng Yang raised an eyebrow.

Wrinkled his nose.

He curled his lips.

"You don't want to tell me?" Xiang Ran got off him. "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."

Sheng Yangcai said "Pooh, pooh, pooh" towards the window!

"Hey, I already told you." Sheng Yang hooked her chin, "Why are you still pouting? Haven't I been obedient?"

Xiang Ran crossed her arms. "I'm warning you. If you don't take care of yourself next time, if anything happens to you, I'll immediately marry someone else and have another...daughter! Hehehe!"

Sheng Yang snorted, "Oh? She can remarry right away? Could it be that she has already found a replacement? Could it be Mo Shaohua?"

"Tsk!" Xiang Ran rolled her eyes at her, then asked with a smile, "Isn't Mo Shaohua good? It just so happens that I'm very familiar with him."

"He's a good guy." Sheng Yang said calmly.

Xiang Ran thought she had heard wrongly.

"What did you say?"

"Didn't you praise him as a real man?" Sheng Yang said.

I fainted, why does Mo Shaohua tell everything to others!!!

Xiang Ran was slightly embarrassed and quickly explained: "There's really nothing between him and me... nothing at all."

"I know. But even if there really is something, what does it matter?

Ranran, I know your feelings for me haven't changed. If you really have something with someone else, it must be involuntary.

How can I possibly blame you if that's the case?"

Sheng Yang reached out and touched her hair. "I was even scared - what would you do if you encountered any dangerous situation? After all, Country Z is so chaotic...

How can you stay safe when you are in an unfamiliar place?

The following words are not what I would say as a husband.

Because love is exclusive, what the husband says may not be right.

I want to tell you - if you really have to, you must put your life safety first.

Everything else is secondary.

Chastity and love are not as important as life.

Those rhetoric about women's virtue and chastity are just something that the patriarchal society has used to fool women for thousands of years.

If chastity is such a good thing, why did so many men in ancient times not practice it and instead have multiple wives and concubines?

Let's look at it from a fair perspective - men are more likely to remain chaste because most men have no sexual value or reproductive value.

Since ancient times, no matter which region, it has been assumed that ordinary men are cannon fodder that can be sacrificed.

Tens of thousands of men died on the battlefield.

But I have never heard of sending women and children to the battlefield, because women and children are the seeds of life.

Otherwise, why were men the first to be eliminated during the massacre?

And most of the women will remain?

Ranran is a smart girl, she will definitely understand what I am saying."
