âI really donât have any particular preference.â
Being an illegitimate daughter, Su Qingsang was not used to having the right to think about her own interests. Right then, she was not in the mood to think about it.
âWife, are you all right?â
Su Qingsang shook her head. She thought about Zhang Mei, the pregnant woman who was admitted to the hospital that day.
Zhang Mei had accidentally fallen while she was on the bus. When her husband and mother-in-law found out, they criticized her and did not care about her physical condition.
Su Qingsang had been working in the hospital for quite some time now and it wasnât the first time she had seen such a thing. Nonetheless, she still felt uncomfortable every time such a situation arose.
Do women exist solely to give birth?
âWife?â Hao Jinyao asked again when he got no response.
Su Qingsang turned to look at him and suddenly thought of the contraceptive pills in her bag. âHuo Jinyao, what would you think if I donât want to have children?â
For some reason, she felt nervous asking him.
Children? Huo Jinyao hadnât thought about this before.
âDoesnât matter. If you donât want to have kids, then donât have them.â
âReally?â
âOf course.â Huo Jinyao stretched out his hand and rubbed her head. âIsnât there a saying like that. âIâm a woman and I get to choose when to have kids?ââ
âPuff.â Su Qingsang was almost choked on her saliva. âWhere did you get that from?â
âOn Womenâs Day this year some female colleagues in our company called out slogans. They feel so stressed out that they donât want to have a second child.â
Su Qingsang nodded and her mind was clear. Despite being able to have two children now, many people choose not to.
âYou pay much a lot of attention to your female colleagues? There are some that are quite beautiful, arenât there?â
Su Qingsang joked, but Huo Jinyao quickly raised three fingers and swore, âDefinitely not. None of those women are as beautiful as my wife.â
âYeah, keep lying.â Su Qingsang knew herself well and her appearance was just above average.
âItâs true. You know Iâm not working in that company anymore.â
Su Qingsang said, âSo you mean that you quit because there were too few beautiful women in the company. Does the new company have more pretty girls?â
Huo Jinyao was speechless. Looking at Su Qingsangâs smile, he moved closer to her.
âWife, are you jealous?â
âWhoâs jealous?â She would never get jealous over such nonsense.
âWife, donât be jealous. In my heart, my wife is the most beautiful. The other women are no match for you.â
âSmooth talk.â She could not deal with him like this.
âWife, Iâm not being glib. Look, Iâm not being a smooth-talker.â
As he spoke, he intentionally moved closer to Su Qingsang as if he wanted her to verify that he was being sincere.
Su Qingsang couldnât stand him anymore.
âHurry up and drive, do you want us to get home at midnight?â
Huo Jinyao quickly started the car. Before stepping on the accelerator, he gave Su Qingsang a big kiss on the cheek.
âWife, rest assured that you are the most beautiful.â
Su Qingsang couldnât bear it and turned to look at the street outside the window. Her raised lip betrayed her, however, and revealed her joy.
She hadnât thought that a few words from Huo Jinyao were enough to change her mood for the better.
Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyaoâs face in the reflection. She suddenly realized that Huo Jinyao was influencing her more and more every day.
