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

During dinner, the couple was silent.

But Xiang Ran felt very calm.

She has made her subtext very clear.

And after listening to her previous "analysis", Sheng Yang did not come up with some "golden sentences" like those stinky men on the Internet.

For example: "You're the only one who can give birth, so why don't other women? If a hen doesn't lay eggs, what's the point?" "You're so precious, what woman wouldn't have children after marriage? My mom had three or four when she was young, and my grandmother had seven or eight, and they were still doing fine, weren't they?"

Silence at least means he is thinking.

At least he won't be like some men in society who think of women as hens that lay eggs.

After dinner, Xiang Ran returned to her room, while Sheng Yang went to the study.

But Xiang Ran was not in a hurry, she knew he would come to find her.

At this point, she can choose to give birth to the child, and she doesn't even need to ask the Su family for an extra sum of money, but the prerequisite is - the child's father... he is worth it.

People from families like hers originally had no desire for marriage and childbirth.

She also didn't like taking care of children. Her adoptive parents had asked her to take care of her younger brother since he was young. After graduation, she worked as a teacher at a training institution, and even worked part-time to tutor children in English at their homes...

Xiang Ran got a headache when she thought of the scene a few months ago when she went to teach the two children of the Xu family English phonics on behalf of her colleague Xia Yun.

She discovered early on that marriage was like a cage for women of the lower class.

It's filled with trivialities.

After giving birth, women will become even weaker and will not even have the courage and physical strength to climb out of the cage.

So, how could she create a "weakness" for herself - a child, to hinder herself?

Unless the child's father is reliable.

Especially reliable.

He has sufficient financial resources, maturity and a sense of responsibility.

-

Xiang Ran waited for Sheng Yang to come find her.

If he doesn't meet her expectations, she can only choose not to have the child.

There was no way she was putting herself in danger.

-

It's almost half past ten.

He hadn't entered the bedroom yet.

She yawned—never mind.

Since he hasn't made up his mind yet, let's do it tomorrow.

He is so serious, maybe he is looking up information?

Oh, never mind.

She thought too much today and felt a little sleepy.

She didn't know how long she slept, but when she opened her eyes and woke up, she found Sheng Yang sleeping next to her.

How could this bastard come in and sleep without making any noise?

He lay on his back without even covering himself with the quilt.

Xiang Ran turned around, pulled a corner of the quilt, and gently placed it on his lower abdomen.

Just as I turned over, he reached out and hugged me: "Are you awake?"

"Why... don't you cover yourself with the quilt?"

"I'm not cold."

"Even if it's not cold, you still have to cover your belly button. The belly button is the most vulnerable part of the Chinese people." Xiang Ran put her hand on his abdomen. "Even if the World Tree only has one leaf left, I will give you half of it to cover your belly button."

Sheng Yang laughed. He hadn't laughed all day.

Tangled, confused, and all kinds of emotions accumulated, but they were forcibly suppressed while he was working, but at night, they came out again and he couldn't sleep at all.

He smiled and kissed her: "Thank you, honey, I'm so touched."

After a long time, he took his lips away.

"Honey, I'm telling you—if you're really afraid of having a baby right now... you don't have to."

A powerful sentence.

This is also the sentence Xiang Ran has been waiting for.

All the lines she had prepared before were to force him to prove his love.

Now, he finally let go.

"What if grandpa and the others find out, and my parents find out and blame me?" Xiang Ran leaned into his arms with tears in her eyes, half-seriously and half-jokingly.

This has been a common phenomenon for thousands of years. Chinese women are urged to get married and have children as soon as they reach a certain age.

Not only the husband's family, but also the people from one's own family are part of this force.

"I'm here. I'll handle it." He looked at her in the darkness and asked faintly, "It's just... I want to find out if you're a DINK... or if you just don't want to have children for the time being."

Xiang Ran had originally breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard him ask the question again.

"I don't know." She asked, "If I were a DINK, would you be able to accept it?"

"I never answer hypothetical questions. If it's yes, it's yes. If it's no, it's no. If you're ambiguous, I can't give you a correct answer."

"Then I really don't know." Xiang Ran argued with him.

"Not knowing is also an answer. If you're unsure, then you need to consider whether or not to keep the child. The child is already in your body, and giving him up would involve certain risks and harm. You need to weigh the pros and cons yourself. I respect your choice. Whatever decision you make, I will do my best to help and protect you. That's all I can do."

The dog man's answer was flawless.

"Specifically?"

"If you want to give up the child, we will choose the best medical treatment to ensure that you suffer the least harm in this matter. If you want to keep the child, I will be a good husband and study hard to be a good father. I can guarantee this."

The answer is very standard.

Xiang Ran was very satisfied.

She was just about to continue speaking the "lines" she had prepared earlier.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yang suddenly said word by word, "But the prerequisite is that I must be your husband, and now I am not your husband legally. Even if you need to have surgery, what can I fill in the relationship column when signing? Should I fill in "lover" or "friend"? It's ridiculous, isn't it?"

Xiang Ran realized that he was about to lead the topic to another place.

Sure enough, he continued, “In fact, compared to the issue of children, I care more about a broader concept - family.

Before I was nine, I was probably considered a shameful existence by others. After returning to the Sheng family, I soon lost my father and suffered a lack of maternal love for years. Although I lived with my grandfather and uncle, it wasn't an exaggeration to say I was living under someone else's roof. For this reason, I placed great importance on marriage and family. Precisely because of this, I felt that if I couldn't hold onto something, I might as well not touch it at all.

So I never want to fall in love easily, and I don’t want to waste time on these things.

The reason I accepted the arranged marriage was that I had already given up the ideal and traditional marriage model.

But one day, I woke up and found myself married.

It turns out that what I want is already in my hands.

And the woman I like is right in front of me.

After being with you, I gradually discovered the meaning of traditional marriage.

Now that "home" is already in my hands, why shouldn't I hold on to it tightly?

Su Yiqing, I can be casual and compromise in other things, but on these issues, I will never allow any mistakes or accidents.

Whether you think this is an obsession or a joke, this is what I really think."

Xiang Ran was stunned.

I was shocked by his words.

How to do?

The thing Sheng Yang valued most was actually fake.

Even his wife is fake.

Su Yiqing, Su Yue, the Su family and she were all destroyers, but she was the "most direct person involved".

She wants to smash a person's principles and persistence.

cruel.

desolate,

uncomfortable.

When she thought about this, she felt uncomfortable too.

But Sheng Yang continues to increase his investment.

"The same goes for children. I've thought it through. If you don't want to have a child, don't force it. I don't want my child to be born unwelcome." He looked up, his jawline sharp as a knife. "What does unwelcome mean? For example, giving birth to a child without a marriage certificate... For example, one of the parents doesn't want the child to be born into this world."
