She weakly asked, "Why bring this up out of the blue?"
The man didn’t answer but countered with a negotiator’s tone, "Tell , what will it take for you to be willing to have a child with ?"
Seeing his persistence on the topic, and that it had been raised enough tis, Wen Ran began to discuss it seriously with him, "Actually, it’s quite simple..."
"Is it? Let’s hear it then."
"I only need to consider three things to have a child. First, whether the father and I agree on the many aspects of raising a child. Second, whether I love the child’s father. Third, whether the child’s father loves ."
Fu Chenlie looked at her coldly, his tone full of disdain when he spoke, "So, you’re saying, for you to have a child, I have to love you?"
"What about that? If you don’t love , I can choose not to have a child."
"You’re quite bold to think that."
"..."
That’s bold thinking?
Isn’t that the most basic thing?!
She stared at him and said, "Most normal couples in the world have children because they love each other, right? I’m a normal person, why can’t I think that? Just because you’re exceptional and look down on , you won’t love , so I can’t think that way? Well, I’m not only ant to bear your children. After the divorce, I might et a man who loves , and I can have children with him then."
Fu Chenlie, upon hearing her words, likely imagined that scenario.
A year later, after their divorce, her being with soone else, whether Zhao Xiuyun or Qin Zeyu, or just anyone, getting married, having children...
Just the thought of it darkened his expression.
The won who have been with Fu Chenlie, who he has kissed and hugged, already bore his mark. The idea of her getting close to another man for no reason irked him, as if a business deal he secured was being snatched away, it felt like a challenge to his authority.
His gaze towards her darkened and grew ominous.
She hadn’t shifted her eyes from him while speaking.
Now, seeing his fierce eyes slightly scared her, and she cautiously said, "What... What are you looking at? I’m just telling the truth. It’s not like after our divorce, I should never marry again and live alone forever, right?"
Speaking, a hint of grievance crept into her voice, "I’m only 22 this year, and I’ll be just 23 when we divorce next year. My pri years shouldn’t be spent alone just because I was married once! If it cos to it, I could even give up the money from our agreent, as I’m bound to find soone else after divorcing you..."
Fu Chenlie suppressed the intense displeasure boiling inside him, "Haven’t you said enough?"
"Enough, I think my point is quite clear."
"Huh."
Wen Ran, "..."
What did that "huh" an?
As she pondered, Fu Chenlie’s hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Wen Ran looked at him in surprise.
The next second, she was pulled up, disoriented, and before she could figure out what was happening, she found herself sitting on his lap, her waist supported by his dry hand.
In that mont, Wen Ran’s heart nearly leaped out of her chest and, without thinking, she tried to get off him.
But—
As she leaned forward slightly, he pressed her back into his arms.
Fu Chenlie’s deep and complex gaze fell on her face, his thin lips slightly raised, he moved regally, "Since Mrs. Fu hopes I fall in love with you, let’s start with the basics."
