"Yes, sir, but... have you discussed this with your wife?"
"Do you think discussing it would be useful?"
Qu Yu quickly bowed his head upon hearing Wen Nian’s question, realizing he had asked a foolish one.
"But, what if the First Lady absolutely refuses to agree?"
"Does it require her agreent? It’s a fact that we are married, and that she is Song Lili is also a fact."
"..."
Qu Yu knew Wen Nian was resolute on this matter...
He once fantasized about when Mr. President and his wife would publicly acknowledge their marriage, thinking it would still take years...
He had never expected everything to happen so suddenly and so rapidly, and by such a thod.
But...
Qu Yu always felt sothing was amiss.
Yet, he couldn’t pinpoint it.
Even if he could have said it, Mr. President likely wouldn’t have listened right now.
"...I know what you’re thinking."
Qu Yu was taken aback when Wen Nian gave him a look and directly declared, "This may not be the best thod, but it is effective."
"..."
"The Navy Corps’ Chief of Staff, Lu Tian, her forr superior, said her goal was to be the Great General of Country G, and thereafter, the first female President of Country G."
Qu Yu widened his eyes in an expression that seed to say, ’Sir, you must be joking.’
"I also heard her say that before, but back then, it felt like a joke, a taphor, even an impetuous childish statent."
With his hands crossed on the table, Wen Nian continued,
"Even hearing it now, it sounds ridiculously exaggerated."
"...The First Lady’s ambitions... are they that grand?"
"I wouldn’t have cared before, but she gave up on and our child for her career. How strong a resolution is that?"
Qu Yu gasped as the delicate face of Tang Xiaohua flashed through his mind... feeling completely different now.
"At that ti, the secret marriage was only because I had just taken office, my foundation was not stable, I wanted to protect her, and she had agreed willingly. But later, she turned her back on . It seems, looking back, that everything stemd from the ’secret marriage,’ including her decision to terminate the pregnancy, partly because she was afraid the child wouldn’t have a legitimate identity after being born."
"The reasons for our secret marriage are no longer existent, so let’s make everything legitimate."
Wen Nian stated.
Qu Yu originally felt that Wen Nian’s approach was sowhat... reckless or filled more with a grudge against his wife.
But now, he thought that although Wen Nian was still angry with his wife, and perhaps even more so,
alongside his anger, he was still considering the future for himself and his wife.
Mr. President has never truly given up on the First Lady...
Qu Yu took a deep breath, wishing the President’s wife would see reason, and stop provoking or opposing Mr. President!
They clearly loved each other so much; why continue to hurt one another?
"I want her to be Song Lili again, to let her know that I can give her everything she wants, that’s all."
"..."
————
Tang Xiaohua hadn’t told anyone that she was still carrying the child.
It wasn’t about deceiving anyone... she simply didn’t feel like disclosing it.
She felt content with things as they were.
The confinent als prepared by Uncle Wei were exquisite and suited her taste, and she was taking all the maternity supplents prescribed by the doctors, like folic acid, vitamins, and more...
In her past life, due to poor health, she suffered severe pregnancy reactions right from the start, constantly vomiting whatever she ate.
Later, she was personally attended to for her well-being...
Now, she wondered if she would ever et the person who had cared for her then.
In this life, with her past pregnancy experience, she was better able to distinguish what was safe to eat and had adjusted her dietary and lifestyle habits accordingly.
Staying in the President Mansion was indeed comfortable, optimal for nurturing her pregnancy, more relaxingly and comfortably than her original plan, especially since Wen Nian kept a close watch over her.
Everyone at the President Mansion knew she was a close confidante of Wen Nian, but no one was aware of her pregnancy.
So observant individuals might suspect sothing from the als delivered by Housekeeper Wei, recognizing the food typically consud by won during post-miscarriage confinent...
But those were re guesses, guessing that she had miscarried...
Of course, it was quite a sensational topic, but given it involved the President Mansion, no one dared to gossip.
She avoided much trouble, the only unavoidable problem being Wen Nian himself...
