Ruan Tianling couldn’t help but defend himself.
His voice was so loud that everyone stared at him in bewilderment.
Jian Yufei explained with a smile, "Earlier, I said that when I was pregnant with Ansel and Junqi, the person who was nervous about the kids wasn’t him, so he got angry."
Ruan Tianling: "..."
Wife, you just take pleasure in selling me out, don’t you?
Ignoring the inexplicable smiles of the others, Ruan Tianling lowered his head with a blank expression and calmly ate his meal.
At this moment, a servant came in to announce that Li Mingxi had arrived.
Ruan’s mother quickly asked someone to invite her in.
Li Mingxi walked into the dining room, smiling, "I’m just in time. Just about to start eating, right?"
"Have you eaten? Come join us," Ruan Anguo said with a smile, inviting her.
Ruan’s mother instructed the servant to get a bowl and chopsticks, while Jian Yufei pulled Li Mingxi to sit beside her.
Li Mingxi was indeed there to mooch a meal, so she wasn’t polite at all, grabbing chopsticks and starting to eat.
...
After the meal, everyone moved to the living room to sit, chat, and drink tea.
Li Mingxi ate a piece of apple and then looked at Jian Yufei’s belly.
"I haven’t asked you yet, is it a boy or a girl?"
Jian Yufei looked at Ruan Tianling, and he didn’t even blink: "It’s a boy."
"Really? You’re really good at having sons."
Jian Yufei smiled sheepishly.
She realized this lie was snowballing, and when the time came, she’d see how Ruan Tianling would deal with it.
Ruan’s mother couldn’t help but educate Li Mingxi: "Tianling is a month younger than you and is about to have three kids. When are you getting married?"
"Auntie, are you urging me too?" Li Mingxi said, feeling a headache.
"Your parents are so worried about you that their hair is turning gray. How can I not be anxious for you?"
Li Mingxi chuckled, "I didn’t study much, you can’t fool me. I just saw my parents a few days ago, and their hair was still black."
Ruan’s mother laughed and patted her lightly.
"But you should get married too. Don’t forget, your grandmother’s greatest wish is to see you marry."
"Oh well, I plan to stay single for life, so Grandma is destined to be disappointed."
"You child, what nonsense are you saying..." Ruan’s mother began to scold her again.
Jian Yufei observed that Li Mingxi didn’t seem to be faking it.
She thought it was a bit serious.
Although it’s beneficial for women to marry a little later, they do need to marry eventually.
Not just for the sake of marriage—if you meet someone you like, you should get married, right?
People live once, they should try everything once.
In the past, if she didn’t meet someone suitable, she could choose not to marry. But with Xiao Lang in the picture, how could she still think of staying single for life?
After Ruan’s mother and the others left, Jian Yufei quietly pulled her aside to ask.
"Can you tell me the truth? Why do you want to remain single forever?"
Li Mingxi rolled her eyes at her: "I just don’t want to get married, it’s that simple."
"Why don’t you want to get married?"
"I just don’t want to."
Jian Yufei pressed on relentlessly: "There must be a reason for not getting married. Is it fear of marriage, no one you like, or do you just want to have a few more years of fun?"
"I don’t have a reason, I just don’t feel like it."
Jian Yufei laughed: "That’s too flimsy. There must be a reason for not getting married, it can’t be baseless."
"Well, liking single life, not wanting kids, not wanting to belong to someone, does that count as a reason?"
"..."
Jian Yufei was at a loss. If she really thought that way, there was no way to persuade her.
...
Li Mingxi didn’t stay long before she left.
It seems that Jian Yufei and their place wasn’t somewhere she could frequent.
Now wherever she goes, she’s being pushed to get married...
