"Xia Ying, thank you for cooking such delicious food for me all this while." Xie Zongming said after eating a mouthful of the potato.

"You're welcome." I smiled shyly. "That's what I should do."

I took a bite of the asparagus and looked up at him, his face unnaturally flushed.

Running around two places every day was naturally very tiring. I began to think about giving him contraceptives in his diet.

Why should only women take contraceptives? Men should also take contraceptives.

Of course, what I wanted to give him wasn't some mild male contraceptive pill, but a female contraceptive pill.

"How's the company these days? "You look very tired?" I asked.

"Not bad." He paused.

"I like the flowers you sent." I ignored his unnatural expression.

"Is that so?" "How about we have a baby?"

I looked up at him. "I'm sorry, I don't want to have children. My health is bad, and having children is dangerous."

"Don't you want to leave the crystal of our love in this world?" Xie Zongming advised me.

"Don't we have love without children?" I asked him.

"Of course." Xie Zongming lowered his head slightly, "Only you know my mother, she …"

"Granny is urging you again, right?" I put a piece of Red Braised Meat into his bowl. "Didn't Big Sis give birth to a baby dragon and phoenix for her?"

Xie Zongming looked a little unreconciled, "After all, he is a man with another surname, not a Xie."

I wonder what's so precious about your genes. I grumbled in my heart, but I had to put on a good face.

"I understand my mother-in-law's difficulties. It's just that she really did not care about my life for a grandson." "If I died in a maternity bed, would she send me to the end of my life?"

"This …" Xie Zongming raised his head as if he wanted to explain.

"I've also seen many wives in still-born beds. Husband and mother-in-law carry their wives' corpses to the hospital to cause trouble, and then take the hospital's compensation money to marry a new wife."

"What are you looking at all day." Xie Zongming's face flushed red, "Is my mother that kind of person?"

"It looks like it."

Xie Zongming acted as if he was going to throw away the chopsticks, as if he was angry.

"Ha, I was just joking." I poured him a glass of cold water.

After dinner, I went to wash the dishes. He was sitting in the living room, playing on his cell phone, and looking very sneaky. He must have been talking to the girl, but why would he suddenly mention having a baby?

This is the agreement we made before we got married, because my physique was weak and I wasn't suitable for pregnancy, so Xie Zongming agreed to it at the time.

"But oaths and the like will fade with time." I was looking at myself in the mirror and whispering. My face was now ruddy and shiny. Indeed, my young body was much more nourishing than that of the middle-aged man.

I applied bright lipstick to the mirror and posed coquettishly. I couldn't help but laugh. "No wonder everyone likes looking for fresh meat."

"Xia Ying, someone is looking for you." Xie Zongming called out to me from outside the bathroom.

"Who is it?"

"Li Jie."

"Help me pick it up, I'll go back later." I put on my lipstick.

Li Jie is a student from my university, and she came from the same place as Xie Zongming. Because of her good looks and warm personality, she married a rich second generation girl, and currently, she already has two daughters.

She usually complained when she called.

It was already hard enough to marry an ordinary person, much less a rich second generation.

I took the phone from Xie Zongming and started to listen to his complaints.

"Cherry, he found another girl. I said he hit me."

I told her not to ask too much. If you married him because of money, why ask him to be loyal?

"Don't take it too seriously." I lay on the bed in the guest room and listened to her nagging. "Why don't you get divorced? I think you'll get a lot of money since he cheated."

"I don't want a divorce." Li Jie on the other end of the phone said while sobbing, "I just hope that he can go home, I have already given him two children."

"You don't want a divorce and you want him to come home. It's hard." I sincerely said, "When you first married him, you were engaged to him. I told you at that time, you will not stay in peace for long. Your family has money and power, and your mother is also a strong woman. Your personality is too soft, so you are easily bullied. You wouldn't listen."

"I thought he really liked me. After all, I'm pretty." Li Jie said with grievance.

"You do look good. You can change your makeup to become a movie star, but marriage isn't just about beauty. He's so rich, he can find as many pretty girls as he wants." "Now that you've already given him two children, as long as you work hard to give him a son, even if he has ten or eight lovers outside, who can surpass you? So you should stop worrying now and take care of your body and try to get a man in one fell swoop."

If it was anyone else, I would have advised her to gather evidence and get a divorce, but Li Jie can't say it like this. She couldn't leave her husband, or more accurately speaking, her family couldn't leave her husband.

Li Jie's family was very poor, her father was paralyzed, her mother's health was not bad, and she usually took care of her father. She also had a brother, Li Chong, who had just enrolled into university this year. Thus, regardless of whether it was the treatment fees, living expenses, or school fees, they were all taken by Li Jie.

I know how hard it was for her. If she'd left her family earlier, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Forget it." Li Jie sighed, "Tomorrow at the end of the weekend, he will be accompanying that woman again, can I come to your house?"

"Come on, let's just relax."

I hung up and sighed. My husband was cheating, too, but who could I tell.

"What happened to her?" Xie Zongming returned to his bedroom and asked me.

"About her husband." I replied.

"Is he cheating again?" Xie Zongming asked.

He knew Li Jie earlier than he knew me.

"Why were you not together with Li Jie back then?" I asked him, "Back then Li Jie was much prettier than me."

Xie Zongming laid on the bed, carefully placing his phone on the bedside table, and said, "How could she fall for a poor guy like me when she's so arrogant?" There was a hint of regret in his tone.

"Yeah, my first time at your house was really scared." "I'm glad you did."

"Hai." Xie Zongming sighed, "To get out from there, I had to work hard for many years, and have to suffer many grievances."

I tilted my head to look at him and thought the man was ridiculous.

Therefore, it would be very unfair to marry me.

"Did you like Li Jie back then?" I asked him, smiling.

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the screen and quickly pressed down.

"Why aren't you accepting it?"

"A colleague of the company, nothing much."

The phone rang again.

"You should just answer it. If something urgent happens, won't it be delayed?"

Xie Zongming looked at me, then looked at his phone, then clenched his teeth and took the phone out.

"Heh." With a sneer, I got up from the bed and stood at the corner of the corridor to listen to him.

"I didn't want you to call me after work, did I?" I heard Xie Zongming say, "Alright, I know you are feeling wronged, stop crying, how about I buy the bag for you tomorrow?"

"Good boy."
