After Shao Wanwan finished speaking, she actually started eating the lamb chops.

The lamb chops were roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—absolutely delicious!

Shao Wanwan quickly became engrossed in the food and completely ignored her.

Lu Qin stomped her feet in anger.

Jiang Zheyuan made no attempt to invite her to sit with him, and Lu Qin, receiving a cold shoulder, turned around and went to complain to Jiang Ranxin.

Jiang Ranxin is particularly fond of Lu Qin.

Although Lu Qin's grades were not good, she was particularly good at reading people's expressions and moods.

She speaks to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language.

Just like how the original owner treated Zhang Suran, she completely charmed Jiang Ranxin.

He really did consider making Lu Qin his daughter-in-law.

The only good thing about Jiang Ranxin is that after Jiang Zheyuan actually married his wife, she stopped gossiping about these things.

Another important reason is that Jiang Ranxin only has one son, Jiang Zheyuan, and no daughter. Lu Qin is sweet-talking, tall and cute, and she watched Lu Qin grow up, so she has a lot of affection for her.

"She must have gone to talk to my mom about it. I'll explain it to her later." Jiang Zheyuan felt that Lu Qin had ruined the warm and romantic atmosphere, which made him feel quite nauseous. He was afraid that Shao Wanwan would feel the same way, so he quickly comforted her.

"Professor Jiang, no, Aunt Jiang knows everything, so I don't mind. Let's eat! Christmas is a Western holiday, but with such a delicious buffet, it's a waste to focus on others. You should eat too." Shao Wanwan really didn't care.

What's a bit surprising is that Lu Qin actually went online so early.

Jiang Zheyuan had many suitors, but Lu Qin remained unmarried her entire life, always waiting for Jiang Zheyuan.

Lu Qin was even more persistent than Su Dapeng.

Moreover, because of their similar family backgrounds, they always had various reasons to surround Jiang Zheyuan.

"You two were childhood sweethearts, so why didn't you end up together?" This was a part that wasn't written in the book, and it was also the part that Shao Wanwan was most curious about.

She took a bite of cake and asked, completely oblivious to any romantic gestures.

Since Lu Qin has already ruined the atmosphere Jiang Zheyuan created, the topic of Lu Qin is bound to come up. Instead of hiding it, we might as well take the opportunity to find out some things about Jiang Zheyuan's childhood.

She was also very curious about the parts that weren't mentioned in the book.

It's not about Lu Qin, but about Jiang Zheyuan.

"This...maybe we're too familiar with each other, so we treat her as a friend?" Actually, Jiang Zheyuan did treat Lu Qin as a friend at first, after all, they were childhood friends.

But he is a man who has lived a lifetime.

If his past life's experiences weren't enough to help him avoid harm and seek benefit, then he wouldn't be able to protect Shao Wanwan.

In her previous life, Lu Qin hurt Shao Moli many times because Shao Moli wasn't the type to complain. Also, both of them were busy with their careers, so sometimes Lu Qin would go to see Shao Moli alone, and he couldn't come to her rescue in time.

Lu Qin's actions made Jiang Zheyuan lose all feelings for her, not even friendship, let alone any other emotions.

“I’ve never liked things that are ambiguous or unclear, so I won’t have any contact with her in the future, so… don’t worry,” Jiang Zheyuan said earnestly.

"Actually, what I wanted to ask was what you were like when you were little. After all, she witnessed it and went through it with you, while I seem to know very little about you. I'm a little envious of her in this respect." As Shao Wanwan said this, there was still a little cream on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't know that she was still eating a small piece of cherry cake.

In the 1990s, most cakes in bakeries were made with vegetable cream, the kind that was particularly firm, even expensive ones like Kaisiling.

However, the cream from the Sherton Hotel was of the finest quality, melting in the mouth and bursting with milky flavor. It was incredibly sweet, and Shao Wanwan simply couldn't stop eating it.

Suddenly, she sensed a dark shadow in front of her, and then felt a lick on the corner of her mouth.

Shao Wanwan just discovered what Jiang Zheyuan had done.

He had already sat back down, then smiled and smacked his lips, "It's really sweet, no wonder you like it so much."

Shao Wanwan immediately looked around.

This is, after all, a family gathering. It wouldn't be appropriate for other members of the Jiang family to see it.

“My family knows we’re dating, so they won’t bother us. They’re all hoping I get married soon and have a few kids for them to take care of. They don’t care that I’m not even twenty yet,” Jiang Zheyuan joked with a smile.

When Shao Wanwan heard this, she knew Jiang Zheyuan was joking, but she couldn't laugh anymore.

He had no children in his previous life.

She loves children.

Before transmigrating into the book, she even considered having a child of her own, bypassing the man.

She had no interest in dating, but she bought a parenting guide on a whim when she graduated from university. With her excellent memory, she knew its contents by heart.

They belong to the group with abundant theoretical knowledge, but currently have zero experience in dating.

The original owner and Jiang Zheyuan never even shared a room, so it's normal that they didn't have any children.

What if she and Jiang Zheyuan don't have children after they get married?

She is a very realistic person.

For her, marriage served the purpose of procreation.

If she absolutely has to get married, she wants to find someone with good genes so she can have a cute baby.

Jiang Zheyuan has excellent genes, but what if he can't have children...?

She used to only think about not being with Jiang Zheyuan, hoping to avoid a tragic death.

However, Su Dapeng's sudden confession and Lu Qin's dazzling appearance made her realize that marrying Jiang Zheyuan was inevitable, and she was not unwilling to accept it.

The thought of Lu Qin's involvement in Jiang Zheyuan's upbringing filled her with jealousy, but this feeling was too unfamiliar to her and she couldn't quite handle it.

But the conversation turned to children.

If she and Jiang Zheyuan don't have children together... then can she accept Jiang Zheyuan?

In the book, Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Moli are soulmates.

The two people have so much in common.

She is different from Shao Moli. She loves money and wants children. She wants to earn a lot of money so that she can spend it on herself and on her children.

What if she herself cannot have children?

After all, the original owner didn't have any children... regardless of who they were with!

Shao Wanwan's instincts told her not to continue such an awkward topic at such a romantic time, because it was really easy for the conversation to fall flat and end unhappily.

The Sheden Hotel is too far from the school, so they will have to stay there tonight.

If things don't go well, she'll storm out in a huff, leaving her with to pay for an even worse hotel herself, which is really not worth it.

So she tried to change the subject.

Jiang Zheyuan placed his hand on the back of her hand. "I'm sorry, I scared you. I got a little carried away. I was so happy to think that you have me in your heart, so... It's always women who suffer when it comes to childbirth, and I just said I wanted to have several. It's really not right of me."

Shao Wanwan was stunned.

“I also love children… but… it’s too early to talk about this now, I’m a little stunned.”
