The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 839 - 836: The County Magistrate’s Wife 5

"Isn’t that the truth? It’s basically like being locked up. Women, that’s the shitty part of being one. Ten months of pregnancy, lugging around a giant ball, and once that ball bursts, there’s even more crap to worry about, and you’ll never get to relax for the rest of your life. But even if it’s that hard, you still have to have kids, right?? If you don’t have kids, you can barely even be counted as a woman; without a child, no matter how stunningly beautiful you are, you still can’t keep a man’s heart... Oh right, you know about Consort Yang, yeah? Consort Yang was so gorgeous, so favored, but just because she didn’t have children, Emperor Tang Xuan had her hanged at Maweipo..."

Yan Xixi stayed expressionless. "Exactly. And not just Consort Yang. None of the Four Beauties had a good ending, and the biggest reason was that none of them had children. Whether it’s Xi Shi or Diao Chan, if they’d had kids, they wouldn’t have ended up like that..."

"Right, right, right, so what if you’re the number one beauty under heaven? Without kids you still can’t tie a man down."

"Isn’t that so? Only bitches and dogs get to grow old together."

Rina heard that and a thousand grass mud horses thundered through her heart, but she still smiled. "Miss Yan, you really are my soulmate, we sisters-in-law really hit it off..."

Li Zhen was getting really impatient. This woman kept calling her "little sister" but still went on with "Miss Yan" every other sentence—could she be any more fake? He seized the chance: "Xixi, it’s getting late, let’s go."

Yan Xixi checked the time. "Time’s up, I should go through security."

"We’ll walk you in."

"No need."

"How could we not? Your brother and I rushed over specially to see you off..."

Your brother—your sister!

Li Zhen couldn’t hold it in anymore. "No need, I’ll take Xixi in."

Yan Xixi was very straightforward; she grabbed Li Zhen’s hand and looked over at Wan Donglin with a bright smile. "Having Li Zhen see me off is plenty. Bro, you and my sis-in-law should hurry back. My nephew is what matters, don’t stay out too long and affect the baby. Oh, right, when you two get married, remember to tell me early, I’ll definitely send you a big gift."

Rina answered, "You’re too kind, we’ll definitely send you an invitation."

Wan Donglin blinked and laughed out loud. "Of course, if I get married, I’m definitely inviting you."

"Alright, I guarantee I’ll be there."

She waved a hand. "Okay, no need for more polite talk, I’m going in."

Then, without another extra word, she turned and left.

The two of them watched the pair walk away.

Rina stared as the two walked off arm in arm and smiled. "Third Young Master, don’t you think the two of them are a great match?"

Wan Donglin said casually, "A great match is pushing it. Li Zhen’s still a bit beneath her, but, well, it’s not like he’s not good enough for her."

"Listen to you, you really think so highly of your little god-sister, don’t you? Li Zhen has a PhD too, you know."

Little god-sister—Wan Donglin actually felt a chill.

This woman could spin lies off the top of her head, one set after another.

"Haha, let’s go, why do you care so much about other people’s business?"

Rina pouted coquettishly. "You brute, I’m doing this for your sake, okay? When we were dancing last night, you stepped on my foot several times. You think I don’t know what’s on your mind? I knew it, if you didn’t come see your little god-sister off, you wouldn’t be at ease. So? Haven’t I paid you back enough?"

"Haha, didn’t you see it with your own eyes? She clearly didn’t need me to come see her off."

When he looked over, the two of them had already reached the security checkpoint.

Rina muttered to herself, "Looks like Yan Xixi really isn’t the slightest bit sad about leaving you. Third Young Master, have you been just flattering yourself this whole time?"
