Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

"Jiang Shangru, how old are you? Why are you so childish? You're already so old, but you're still jealous of other kids. Aren't you ashamed?"

Yu Qingya was speechless.

She didn't talk about the things that happened behind closed doors between husband and wife.

Now he is holding a sleeping child in his arms, and yet he is still so jealous!

"What's there to be ashamed of? You're my wife, the person closest to me, and the one I love the most. I just want you to care about me the most, so why should I be shy?"

Jiang Shangru spoke with confidence.

I don't feel ashamed at all.

I didn't feel embarrassed about it.

Yu Qingya no longer wanted to pay attention to him. She quietly accompanied her husband to send their daughter to her room. After tucking the child in with the quilt, she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she reached out and touched her daughter's little face, sighing, "Our Xia Xia is going to be a mother! Time flies!"

"Yes, we are old!"

Jiang Shangru also expressed his feelings.

At such an old age, Jiang Shangru was already exhausted from carrying his daughter from one room to another, a distance of only a few dozen steps, and was still gasping for breath.

But like his wife, he also sat on the edge of the bed and looked proudly at the child in front of him, the first child who came to him and his wife.

One has to admit that compared to the second and third sons and the youngest daughter Wanying who still refused to acknowledge him, he did put more effort and expectations into this child. Even Jiang planned to let her take over.

But after so many years, he has seen through it.

This child has been spoiled by him. Although she is smart, excellent and has her own opinions, she lacks tenacity and endurance, and has a bad temper. He really doesn't feel comfortable handing over the huge Jiang family business to her.

"Yes, we are old. By the way, why did you push me just now? Why didn't you let me ask who the father of the child is?" Thinking of this, Yu Qingya turned to ask her husband.

Jiang Shangru smiled faintly, "Xia Xia is so sad and conflicted. You can guess who it belongs to with just your toes! If it's not that brat next door, who else could it be? After all these years, isn't that brat the only one Xia Xia cares about?"

"Then you won't let me tell you? They've been like enemies for so many years, breaking up and getting back together, and now that we have a child, are we still not going to tell the Lu family? Let that brat come over and propose marriage, and let their family take advantage of us for nothing?"

"What do you mean by their family taking advantage? Qingya, your way of thinking is wrong! You have to remember, it was our daughter who slept with the son of the Lu family, not the son of the Lu family who slept with our daughter, understand?"

"What difference does it make?"

Yu Qingya asked blankly.

Jiang Shangru still had that smile on his face.

"Of course there is a difference! According to what you said, our daughter is the weaker party; but according to what I said, our daughter is the one with more choices."

Yu Qingya:?

Jiang Shangru continued.

"If Lu Chengfeng and the Lu family do well enough to please our daughter, and if she is willing, she can marry him reluctantly.

If Lu Chengfeng and the Lu family don't do a good job, why should our daughter want him? We should think highly of him just because we borrowed his seed! There are many men in the world, our daughter can choose whoever she wants, and Lu Chengfeng should just stand aside! "

Yu Qingya: ...

Having been married for so many years, they have always been each other's most loyal partners.

She herself has a strong sense of propriety when she is outside.

He was the same, always keeping a distance from other women and preventing her from becoming suspicious at all times.

So for all these years, she has never discussed this issue with her husband.

She always thought that her husband shared the same views as her: husband and wife should be loyal to each other, should put each other first, and should be a couple for life.

But what is he talking about?

Yu Qingya was a little slow to react, and after she came to her senses she was still a little shocked. She stared at her husband in front of her with a pair of surprised eyes.

Then he asked with a frown.

"Jiang Shangru, so you think the same about me? If I'm not good enough to you, will you also pick and choose women at will outside and change women at will?"

"Of course not."

Jiang Shangru immediately denied it.

But when he spoke, it seemed that he disturbed his daughter who was sleeping soundly in bed, and his daughter frowned in her sleep.

Jiang Shangru, who was eager to explain, immediately shut up, made a gesture to his wife to keep quiet, and tiptoed to pull his wife up and leave.

But Yu Qingya still felt upset.

As soon as she returned to her room, she grabbed Jiang Shangru and asked him.

"Jiang Shangru, please explain yourself clearly. Do you have the same thoughts about me? You have thought about changing women countless times over the years, right? Why haven't you changed me yet?"

"Of course not." Jiang Shangru closed the door, carried his wife back to the bed, tucked in the quilt for her, and held her in his arms. "Qingya, don't think too much. I have no second thoughts about you. In this life, I only like you, only love you, and only touch you. In my heart, no one can compare to you. After so many years, others don't understand, but you don't understand?"

"So you just said Xia Xia..."

"I'm talking about Xia Xia because she's our daughter. What have we fought for all our lives? Isn't a big part of the reason so that our children can stand up straighter than others?"

"Can……"

"People in this world are so complicated and so changeable. Can we guarantee that everyone our children meet will be as loving and affectionate as we are as a couple and have been for decades?"

"I……"

"In this complex world, we cannot teach our children to treat everyone honestly, let alone their partners. They can love boldly and bravely, but they should never look down on themselves because of their love for others.

So, that summer before Xia Xia went to college, even when we caught Xia Xia and Lu Chengfeng having sex, I pulled you aside and told you not to interrupt, not to get angry, and instead quietly leave. It wasn't until several days later that I subtly taught her how to protect herself in the process of love.

"Shangru!"

Yu Qingya remembered that incident.

Her daughter was only eighteen years old at that time.

No, at that time Xia Xia’s eighteenth birthday had not yet arrived, and her Xia Xia was not yet eighteen years old.

Seeing that her young daughter was being taken advantage of by the bad boy next door, she was really furious and immediately wanted to rush in and beat the bad boy up, or even castrate him.

But her husband held her back.

Not only did he hold her back, he also took her away from home to a nearby cafe to drink coffee. He waited until the two children finished their work before slowly coming back holding her hand.

She asked several times at that time.

"Jiang Shangru, are you the child's biological father? The one at home is your daughter. How can you remain so calm while watching your beautiful daughter being taken away by a jerk?"
