YRMD-97 Everyone Is Forcing Him To Have Child

---

From half-past five to half-past night, Mr. Wen’s eightieth birthday was finally over.

Mr. Wen was in the good mood tonight and therefore drank too much. Haoxuan and Jiyang leaving for their mansion but he stopped them saying…

“Why do you still trying to go back in late night? Can’t you just stay here?” Mr. Wen pointed at the rooms upstairs and said, “Don’t you have a room in this house? None of you can leave the house tonight. Just stay here with me. Or do you just want to get rid of a boring old man like me?”

So in the end all family members remain in the Wen family mansion.

In the living room.

“Grandpa, dad, and mom, I will go to work after a break for two days, sharing some responsibilities for dad,” Qing said.

“Now that you are back, just take a few more days for rest. You don’t need to hurry to work,” Mr. Wen was unhappy, “A girl like you don’t need to work so hard, since you got something more important than the job to do.”

“What’s the thing more important than the job?” Qing smiled, She was more curious than thrilled.

“Your marriage,” Rong reminded her, “You are 27 now. Your sisters got married when they were 20 or 22. You should hurry it up.”

“Dad, I’m still young. I don’t need to be worried,” Qing argued.

“But we are worried,” her parents said, “When I was at your age, I had given birth to several children!”

“Time has changed, mom. Females are not a tool for giving birth now,” Qing murmured.

“What do you say?” Shaming, Rong’s wife, frowned.

“I said nothing,” Qing disavowed.

Mr. Wen said, “There are lots of young men from some decent families in Chongqing. Just tell me which one you like most, and I can contact him for you.”

“Don’t arrange such marriage again, grandpa,” Qing pouted.

“Don’t be shy,” Mr. Wen looked at her, “Don’t tell me none of these men can intrigue you.”

“I just don’t want to make my marriage like an exchange of interests,” Qing said.

“Stop worrying about her,” Haoxuan smiled, “She isn’t interested in these men because she has already found one.”

“Oh…” Mr. Wen was delighted, “Who is he? Just tell me.”

“Grandpa, I.” Qing wanted to say something but was interrupted by Haoxuan.

“She was so unwilling to leave Zichen just now,” Haoxuan teased her.

Hearing his words, Jiyang took a cup of water to dissimulate his emotion. But he still couldn’t let him go.

“How dare you mock at you sister,” Qing glanced at him but also felt joy from his words.

Qing blushed like a girl who fell in love, which reminded Jiyang of the time when he fell for Bowen, and now Qing was just like himself.

But he looked exactly like Bowen-the man he deeply loved!

Bowen…Zichen…

Jiyang was lost in his thought holding a cup. He felt endless sadness. His heart was filled with pain.

“I’m not joking. Mr. Lin is the first man you have taken home. Looks like you care about Mr. Lin a lot. Mr. Lin is so handsome and outstanding. Qing, don’t cry when Mr. Lin is got by another girl”

Haoxuan turned to Jiyang and said, “Am I right, Jiyang?”

“Yes?” Jiyang had let his mind wander and failed to catch up with Haoxuan.

“What’s going on?” Haoxuan found Jiyang quite odd today.

Jiyang was always charming and gorgeous, but he was being gloomy today as he didn’t talk much and seemed absent-minded.

“I heard you talking about Qing.” Jiyang sipped water trying to comfort himself.

“Qing and Zichen are well matched, aren’t they?” Haoxuan held Jiyang’s finger in the palm of his hand.

“Sure, they are. But how they feel outweigh how they look.” Jiyang added.

“Qing, you like him, so be with him,” Haoxuan frankly voiced, “I’m not teasing, Qing. I hope you can find someone who loves you just like Jiyang and I.”

“Are you doing PDA before me?” asked Qing.

“It’s just what a couple do.” Haoxuan smiled at Jiyang with affection in his eyes.

“Can’t believe how Jiyang stands people like you,” Qing complained, “it’s really kind of him to bear you, isn’t it?”

“Haoxuan is always nice to me,” Jiyang explained this only because they had reached an agreement before.

They had agreed to pretend like a sweet couple in public so as to not lose face.

Haoxuan was glad to hear Jiyang’s words raising an eyebrow.

Qing didn’t insist and turned to her family, “Grandpa, mom, dad, actually I have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead,” said Mr. Wen.

“In fact, you don’t need to concern about marry me to some rich man. I’ve already been in love.” Qing admitted bravely.

“So is Zichen the man you love like Haoxuan said?” It would be impossible for an elder like Mr. Wen not to figure it out soon.

Qing admitted, “Yes. We didn’t become lovers until shortly before we returned home. I love him for his elegance and maturity. He is not like those flippant playboys. He is the man I love. Now you have seen Zichen. Would you give us the best wishes? I would be happy if you do. But it won’t change my mind at all. I only want to live a life with someone I love. I don’t take marriage lightly as a deal like my siblings. I’m not about to be the victim of a family marriage.”

The Wen family had such a prominent status in Chongqing. One of the reasons was their relationship with other big families.

Haoxuan was unhappy after hearing Qing’s words and denied, “There is no any deal between Jiyang and I. We met each other when we were little. We’ve been loved each other for long time. I definitely love my wife.”

Haoxuan stretched out to hold Jiyang’s shoulder nervously, “Honey, don’t listen to Qing. I never consider our marriage as a deal. As I married you, you are my lifetime love.”

“The once little Haoxuan finally becomes a real man.” Qing thought time can really change a man.

That presumptuous bad boy had become a lovable man.

“I didn’t expect that, Qing,” Mr. Wen sighed, “older generations always married through blind date. But they wouldn’t do that unless they were satisfied with each other. Your siblings also have their concerns and I’m sure they know how to choose the right person.

You should understand that since you are a Wen, you are not supposed to marry an ordinary man. A rich one may not give the love you want, but he can make your life comfortable and easy. That is what happiness should be.

Living a poor life will destroy your love anyway. The daughter of Shen Group married an ordinary man, didn’t you see what happened at last? Not just divorce, an ugly end.

Qing, isn’t it good if your marriages benefit both your family and yourself? You know you are not those girls who overcome a lot since they are young. You are always the princess of Wen. You should never touch the dirt and dust of life.”

Qing began to think what grandpa said was somewhat reasonable.

“I can say Zichen is an extraordinary man.” Rong said.

“You still need your family to test this man. If he is that good, we will bless you.” Mr. Wen clapped her hand back lightly, “Your grandpa is not that kind of fogy.”

“Indeed, he is not an ordinary person. I didn’t know that when I met him, I just love him.”

“I can totally understand you, Qing,” Haoxuan added, “I didn’t actually care about Jiyang’s identity. I just love him.”

Qing was happy to hear her brother finally said something useful.

Jiyang put down the cup, “Sorry, I’m going upstairs to rest.”

“Wait a minute, Jiyang, we need to talk with you,” Rong and his wife stopped him.

Jiyang paused and responded calmly, “I’m listening.”

Seeing that his parents looked serious, Haoxuan said in order to protect his wife, “Dad, Mom, just tell me if there is something wrong.”

“Of course you should listen. This is about you two, and even the whole family.” Rong snapped, “Sit down!”

Then Shaming asked, “Haoxuan, Jiyang, how long have you been married?”

“Five years. What’s wrong?” Haoxuan frowned and didn’t know what she meant, “Our anniversary hasn’t come yet, so I won’t forget it.”

“I am not talking about this.” She put her hand on her forehead in anger and wondered what her son had in his head, “You have been married for five years, but you still don’t have a child. Maybe you should work harder.”

Haoxuan and Jiyang glanced at each other and realized the case.

They were just a couple in name. So, at most, they would just hold hands or put arms around their waists. Therefore, it was impossible for them to have a baby.

And their former agreement stated that they would never give birth to a baby and they would divorce only when they couldn’t tolerate each other.

But now Haoxuan didn’t feel like divorcing, but he didn’t know how to explain the case of baby.

“Hey, we are still young, so we don’t want to rush into having a baby.” He made an excuse, “Dad, Mom, I am still an immature man. How can I be a father? Moreover, having a baby is not cool.”

“Are you trying to piss us off? Your life is only filled with beer and skittles! I told you to work and you refused. As a man, you don’t have any ambition. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in a muddle?” Rong was green in anger when hearing Haoxuan’s bullshit.

“Haoxuan, when a man grows up, he should first establish his family and career and then be a father. Now it is time for you to grow up. Your dad and I will get old and you can’t depend on us at that time.” Shaming tried to persuade her son, “Look at your eldest brother. He is now a mature husband and father. I believe that you can be like him.”

“Mom, when it comes to brother, doesn’t he have two children? If you like children, you can get his kids over here. Why do you make us awkward? Twosome is wonderful.”

Haoxuan grinned and didn’t care about the tension, “Qing, am I right?”

“Haoxuan, I want to correct you. You can’t make our parents worried about you all the time. You’ve been playing for five years. Now you should get serious. What’s more, being parents is a good thing, which can let you learn to grow. It is not only your brother that is responsible for the family. You are responsible too.” Qing helped her parents persuade him.

“Haoxuan!” Rong stood up.

“I am eighty years old and live one day at a time. Maybe one day I will leave you, I do hope that I can see you and Jiyang have your kid before I die. Also, Qing, I am looking forward to your marriage and I hope that you can find your Mr. Right. Then I will have no regrets.” Mr. Wen expressed his views eventually.

“Grandpa, you are healthy and you are doomed to live a long life.” Qing said, “Don’t worry, grandpa. We know what to do.”

“It will be good if you know what to do.” Mr. Wen took a glance at Haoxuan and Jiyang,

Jiyang kept silent. The first reason was that he was upset and the second one was that he had nothing good to say. He would rather close his mouth than annoy others and bring himself troubles.

Haoxuan didn’t respond and went upstairs with Jiyang.

The third room at the corner of the second floor was their bedroom.

Haoxuan picked up their pajamas from the cloakroom and handed Jiyang the one, “Please have a bath and take a rest.”

“Thanks.” Jiyang took the pajamas and stared at Haoxuan.

“Hey, you are welcome. It is embarrassing.” He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, “Besides, you are my wife, so this is what I should do.”

He said very naturally so that it seemed they were a real loving couple instead of a couple of agreement.

This made Jiyang anxious. There appeared an illusion that Haoxuan had regarded him as his real wife and he really loved him from the bottom of his heart instead of playing a game.

“Haoxuan, don’t forget our appointment. Our marriage is just an agreement and I am your wife in name, so you should know that I will never give birth to a kid for you and the family.” Jiyang couldn’t help reminding him that this was the condition that could not be met.

“I remember our appointment and I won’t force you to give birth to a baby. As for the kid, I will handle it. Just take it easy.” He patted his chest, “Don’t worry.”

“Have you thought that giving birth to a baby is a big deal? Though we can hide it from them now, what about later?” Jiyang couldn’t help feeling anxious as this had been an emergency, do you want to do?”

“I will say I don’t want a kid. In a word, I won’t let them blame you.” Haoxuan caught her shoulders mildly and looked at her beautiful eyes, “Jiyang, trust me please.”

“It can’t solve the problem fundamentally. It will only make your grandpa and parents think you are being unreasonable and making no progress.” Jiyang didn’t want to owe him anything.

“I am not just like this today. I have been always acting like this. I don’t care only if you are not forced to have a baby.” Haoxuan said positively. He would rather be accused of being unfilial than let Jiyang be forced by the family.

“Haoxuan, I won’t thank you if you do so.” Jiyang said coldly.

“I don’t want you to thank me. I think children are troublesome and I don’t like them as well.” He had a look of disgust, “So I might as well not have children at all.”

“Haoxuan, there are three things considered unfilial, And the first one is having no descendants. The Wen family, such a powerful and noble party, is reasonable to require you to have two to three children. Therefore, I have a suggestion for you.” Jiyang pressed his lips together, considering whether to tell him.

“Go ahead. I am listening.” He was expectant.

“What about divorcing?” Jiyang thought this method was feasible.

“Divorcing?” His face was abruptly severe, “I won’t agree.”

Haoxuan refused without consideration and he looked unhappy.

Jiyang asked, “Why?”

“No why. I won’t agree to it anyway.” Haoxuan turned around and waved his arm.

Jiyang continued to explain, “As long as I am your wife, I will be obligated to give birth to a baby for you and the family. However, our situation as you know, won’t allow me to give you a child. So only when we divorce, won’t they stick to the topic.

You know, I am so stressful that I am afraid that I will expose our agreement when I can’t tolerate it anymore. Then it will be more complicated. Haoxuan, aren’t you tired of such a marriage? Actually you can get married with the person you like and have your own baby. It will be great, isn’t it?”

“Jiyang, I said I won’t divorce. Can’t you understand?” Haoxuan frowned and his eyes were burning.

“Our agreement has also stated that once we find our true love, we can be free from the marriage.” Jiyang brought up the agreement again.

Haoxuan declared immediately, “I have not met my true love. What about you?”

“I…” When Jiyang hesitated, all that flashed through his mind was Zichen’s handsome face.

Jiyang was upset because he could not get what he loved.

“Neither do you.” Haoxuan said to him, “Jiyang, I have known something about your past. I don’t ask you because I respect your privacy.

Now that neither of us have found our true love, why do we divorce? Just continue to live together. We have been doing so for five years. It is fine, isn’t it?

Though you want to divorce, will your parents agree? The Wen family won’t agree as well. Our marriage is not just about us. Don’t forget why we got married.

As for the case of children, I will solve it. You don’t need to worry. If you trust me, just let me handle it, okay? We are not going to divorce.”

His last sentence seemed to begging.

When Jiyang looked at his serious face, he felt conflicted and complicated.

Jiyang knew exactly their marriage was just like a marriage of the two families and his parents were optimistic about it. Therefore, they wouldn’t easily let them divorce.

If he could choose his lover and marriage as his wished, he would not be opposed by his  parents to being with Bowen.

When he thought about Bowen, his heart was broken.

Because he could never meet the man he loved deeply anymore, he could only continue the marriage.

Jiyang compromised and nodded at him. Getting his approval, Haoxuan held him in arms the next second and he was as happy as a child who had been given candy.

“Don’t get all hands on me!” Jiyang punched his back, reminding him that he was out of line.

Because now they were getting along in private, they were not allowed to behave excessively.

Haoxuan let him go and rubbed his thighs with his hands awkwardly. He explained, “I just got carried away. I won’t do this next time.”

“I want to take a shower.” Jiyang walked past him towards the bathroom.

He didn’t understand why Haoxuan was so happy as he didn’t insist on a divorce.

Thinking carefully, he felt Haoxuan hadn’t been himself lately.

Haoxuan got home on time every day and sometimes he would give him gifts, like a bunch of flowers, a brooch and a silk scarf.

He had dinner with him, worked out with him, chatted with him and watched soap operas with him.

He was so free these days. Hadn’t he been hanging out with girls lately?

Jiyang shook his head and wiped away the water on his face. What did this have to do with him?

What flashed through his mind most were Bowen and their sweet memories.

The sweeter the past was, the more he missed it.

“Tap-tap.”

A knock on the door outside the bathroom interrupted his thoughts.

“Jiyang, are you okay?” Haoxuan was playing on his phone and he found that Jiyang hadn’t come out for a long time, so he knocked at the door.

Jiyang said in a hurry, “I am fine.”

“Hurry up. Or you might faint from lack of oxygen.” Haoxuan reminded him.

“Got it.” Jiyang turned off the shower and put on a towel, “I am done.”

Jiyang wiped away the water on his body and put on the pajamas. When he came out, he met his eyes outside.

Jiyang’s face was stained red by the steam. His eyes were dewy and soft. His eyelashes were well defined like a blooming rose, which were pure and charming.

The beautiful line of his neck and his hazy collarbone shocked Haoxuan.

“Haoxuan, what are you looking?” Jiyang saw him watch him, so he was annoyed.

“I… Nothing.” He was too nervous to speak, “I am going to take a bath.”

He rushed into the bathroom and closed the door.

Jiyang was about to say something, but he clenched his teeth and paused when hearing the door closed.

When Haoxuan came out, he saw Jiyang’s slim figure. Jiyang put his legs by the bed and applied body lotion to them.

Haoxuan was somehow excited and felt there was a stream of heat running down his nose.

Fuck! He was bleeding from his nose. How long hadn’t he seen someone? Why was he so hungry?

Actually he had never seen such an alluring Jiyang, When they lived in Springhill Villa, they slept in separate rooms. If it was not because they needed to stay in the Wen’s today, they would never sleep in the same room.

Hearing the sound, Jiyang turned his head and saw Haoxuan wiping the blood from his nose.

Jiyang asked, “You got a nosebleed?”

“Oh… Yeah,” Haoxuan wiped the blood in a hurry, pretending to be natural, “Maybe I have eaten too much heaty food lately. As long as I have something lite, I will be fine.”

“Haoxuan, I am beautiful and charming. Don’t count on me.” Jiyang smiled and didn’t believe his bullshit.

“Don’t worry about it. My outside girlfriend is mild and lovely. How will I count on you?” Haoxuan argued aggressively.

Was he shameless? He could never admit that he got a nosebleed because Jiyang turned him on, or he would be in a doghouse.

Jiyang ruffled his hair with his legs slightly bent, which was so seductive. However, he didn’t know that.

“It better be, or I will think you fall in love with me.” Jiyang stood up and tidied up his pajamas.

“Fall in love with you? How is it possible?” His face suggested that Jiyang was thinking too much.

“That will be great. I don’t like you as well.” Jiyang threw back the covers and went to bed, “I will sleep on the bed. As for you, please sleep on the sofa or the floor.”

Haoxuan came up, looking at the big bed which could accommodate four men, “The bed is big enough and there are still spaces left. I can sleep over there.”

As a spoiled prince, when had he slept on a sofa? When did he come to this?

“No way! No matter how big the bed is, you cannot sleep here.” Jiyang refused, “Don’t take advantage of me.”

“Who is going to take advantage of you?” Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, “Though I take advantage of you by accident, you are my wife.”

“Make it clear that I am just your wife in name!” Jiyang corrected him, “So you can only sleep on the sofa or the floor. If you want to sleep on the bed, I will go back now.”

Jiyang elegantly leaned against a soft pillow at his back and put his arms around his chests, staring at Haoxuan.

Fuck!

Haoxuan threw away the white towel in his hand and left. He hugged the blanket miserably and lay on the sofa.

Jiyang won and sank into bed. Turning off the lamp, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Today he was shocked greatly. The moment he lay down he felt exhausted. Different from usual, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

It was a quiet night.

Until next morning, when he turned over trying to continue his sleep, his eyes opened suddenly. Haoxuan’s handsome face was close at hand.

“Ah!” Jiyang caught the quilt and sat up.

He took a deep breath and looked at Haoxuan on the bed.

However, Haoxuan just pulled the quilt, turned over and kept asleep.

Jiyang’s eyes widened and he took the pillow to hit Haoxuan, “Haoxuan, when did you crawl into bed? Get up! Don’t sleep!”

“Honey, I am so tired. Just let me sleep a little longer.” He took the quilt and covered his head.

“No way!” Seeing him reluctant to get up and stay in bed, Jiyang was so angry that he kicked him out of bed.

He fell to the floor wrapped in the quilt. Then, there was a knock on the door.

“Haoxuan, Jiyang, what’s wrong with you?” It was Shaming’s voice of concern. She was there to call them to breakfast, when she happened to hear Jiyang’s scream, “I am coming in!”

“Mom, we… we are fine. Don’t come in.” Before Haoxuan finished his words, Shaming had entered the room.

Jiyang and Haoxuan froze there. One was sitting on the bed angrily with a pillow in hand ready to be thrown. The other one was lying wrapped up in a quilt by the bed. It was ridiculous.

Shaming had seen everything, but she was still shocked by the scene.

“What are you doing?” Shaming looked serious.

Jiyang put down the pillow and caressed it tactfully, “Mom, he fell out of bed by accident.”

“Yeah, mom. I dreamed that I was chasing a rabbit, then I fell out of bed.” Haoxuan cooperated with her to tell a lie.

“Really?” Shaming’s eyes wandered back and forth between them and she was skeptical.

“Of course. What else could it be?” Haoxuan ripped off the quilt and threw it onto the bed.

“Mom, this is our young people’s lifestyle. You can’t understand,” Jiyang said.

“Yeah, It is a couple’s interest. Hahaha…” Finishing his words, Haoxuan burst into laughter.

Shaming frowned and said unhappily, “If it is so, there have been many children.”

“Mom, don’t mention children in the early morning, or you just kill me.” Haoxuan was tired of this case now.

“I am doing it for your own good. Don’t be ungrateful.” Shaming felt Haoxuan had no ambition.

“Mom, we want to change our clothes and wash. Could you please get out?” Haoxuan begged her cautiously.

“Get downstairs to have breakfast once you finish washing. Don’t keep your grandpa waiting.” Shaming turned around and left with her eyes glancing at Jiyang,

As soon as she left, Jiyang threw the pillow at him and gave him a fierce glare, “Who allowed you to sleep in the bed?”

“I instinctively went to bed after going to the bathroom last night.” He caught the pillow and complained, “And I have not taken advantage of you. Why are you so agitated that my mom was attracted?”

“Are you blaming me? I said I’d sleep on the bed and you’d sleep on the sofa, It was you that broke the rule.” Jiyang got out of bed and put on his slippers, “Screw you!”

Jiyang walked towards the bathroom and cleaned himself.

Haoxuan felt that he was being wronged. As he had got used to sleeping on the bed, how could he realize that there was someone?

Twenty minutes later, Haoxuan and Jiyang went downstairs. In the dining room, Rong, Shaming and Qing were all there.

“Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Qing, good morning.” Haoxuan waved his hand towards them happily.

“It’s been late. Sit down and have breakfast.” Rong said.

Jiyang didn’t say anything but just ate quietly.

When he was full, he wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly and told others to enjoy themselves.

Shaming stopped him, “Jiyang, I am going shopping with Qing later and buy her some clothes. Just come with us and buy some for yourself. You have always had a good taste. It will be nice to have your help.”

Jiyang was naturally reluctant, but he was unable to refuse but accepted, “Okay”

“I’m going with you!” Haoxuan volunteered to join them.

“Why do you follow us?” Shaming asked him.

“I also need to buy some clothes and I can give sister some suggestions. Besides, I can be your driver for free.” Haoxuan gave her several reasons.

“I don’t dare to let our prince to be our free driver.” Qing made fun of him.

“I…”

“Haoxuan, I’ll go play golf with some business partners. Just come with us.” Rong said.

“Haoxuan, it is time for you to help your dad.” Mr. Wen said.

Haoxuan could say nothing but agreed.

After breakfast, everybody went out.

***

Shaming should have something to tell him in private so he would be separated from Haoxuan.

And again she told him to have a child. How there are rumours everywhere. Every time they attend banquets or events, those people either bring the conversation around children or hint that Haoxuan  and Jiyang this two aren’t healthy.

Jiyang looked at Shaming’s longing and expectant eyes, but he knew that there was nothing he could do.

It seemed that the conversation about his child would be ongoing for a while.

Was this something he could help with? Would he be helping by giving birth to a child?

Jiyang accompanied Shaming and Qing to go shopping. They bought a lot of clothes, ate Western food for lunch… Afterward, Jiyang told them that he was going home.

And so, Jiyang parted ways with Shaming and Qing.

He called Zhan and said, “Zhan, are you free today? Let’s have a drink together.”

“Okay. I happen to have something to ask you.” Zhan smiled lightly.

“We think alike and have an almost telepathic connection.” Jiyang sighed faintly. “See you at the restaurant.”

Then Jiyang arrived at his own Restaurant.

“Hello, Mr. Song,” Employees all greeted Jiyang when they saw him.

“Hello.” Jiyang waved at them. “Don’t mind me. Go ahead with your work.”

Jiyang went upstairs.

The restaurant manager came upon hearing of his arrival. “Mr. Song, what can I do for you?”

“Open my private dining room and prepare some food.” Jiyang raised his wrist and checked his watch. “Start serving at 6 o’clock.”

“Okay.”

“And my friend is Xiao Zhan, Mr. Xiao, who was here last time. When he arrives, have someone lead him upstairs.” Jiyang added.

Jiyang entered his private dining room, which was never open to others and was only reserved for himself and his friends.

The soft light fell on Jiyang’s face, making him look gentle and beautiful.

Zhan arrived at 5:40 PM. “Jiyang.”

“Sit.” Jiyang pointed to the opposite side.

Zhan walked over and sat.

Jiyang poured a glass of lemonade and pushed it in front of him.

“You are asking me for more than a drink.” Zhan held the warm glass in both hands.

“Haoxuan’s parents are urging us to have children.” Jiyang talked about his problem with a reluctant expression on his face.

“You know that Haoxuan and I aren’t in that kind of relationship. We can’t give birth to a child, Zhan, what do you think I should do? I’m very worried.”

“I really can’t help you with this problem,” Zhan shrugged lightly, “I suggest you and Haoxuan have a discussion. This isn’t trivial.”

“I’ve discussed this with Haoxuan.” Jiyang rubbed his sore temples with his fingertips. “I can only file for divorce, but he disagreed. He said that he would solve this problem and would not make me feel aggrieved. But even if I filed for divorce, my parents wouldn’t agree to it. But what can he do?”

“Since Mr. Haoxuan said he would deal with it, he should have a plan, so don’t worry about it right now.” Zhan took a sip of lemonade. “But Mr. Haoxuan didn’t force you to have a baby and still considered your feelings. He took responsibility, and that makes him a nice man.”

“I have an agreement with him. We would get married but we wouldn’t have a child,” Jiyang said frankly. “This is a problem that he should solve. It has nothing to do with whether he’s being a nice man.”

Zhan chuckled and shook his head, “You are just stubborn and reluctant to admit it. Mr. Haoxuan obviously treats you quite well.”
