I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Fang Qing was having trouble sleeping again, staring at the cracked ceiling for a long time.

Why do you say "again"?
Since receiving the medical report confirming her pregnancy, she has hardly slept well, but today is an exception; her insomnia is not due to herself.

That's right.

She still couldn't bear to let the guest sleep at the foot of the bed, after all, she had given her a "diligent" half-hour massage before she got into bed.

But what did the other party say before?

I sleep very still and don't move around.

The results of it?
Fang Qing felt like there was a big mudfish lying next to her, twisting and turning, causing her to either get poked in the arm or have her leg pinned down. How could anyone sleep like that!
In fact, she was just victim number two.

The first victim was a young Taoist nun who was also gullible.

History is always strikingly similar.

It turned out that it wasn't just that they couldn't sleep alone; the two of them were even more unable to fall asleep.

Fang Qing tried everything she could, counting sheep up to five hundred, but to no avail. Now, one of her arms was stretched up to her chest.

All right.

I have a better understanding now.

She could easily imagine what it would be like when the two of them were sleeping.

While grabbing that "devil's claw," Fang Qing, unable to bear it any longer, pinched the other person's waist with her other hand.

No wonder she studied dance; her hands have such a good feel and are so resilient.

The pain caused Li Shurui to open her eyes immediately. Her confusion was fleeting. Realizing where she was sleeping, she didn't even need to turn her head as she lay on her side. She asked directly, "What?"

Are you born in the year of the octopus?

Fang Qing shoved her arm away.

Li Shurui wasn't embarrassed at all. "You're not turning on the air conditioning, so people will naturally gravitate towards warmer places."

It turned out to be the case.

It's just the wrong season.

This problem wouldn't exist in the summer.

"Could you please stop moving?"

It was getting late, and the world outside the window was completely silent. Fang Qing didn't have the energy to listen to her rambling. "Go hug your man when you get back."

Look.

This is what we call subtle influence.

In short, it has been affected.

He has become noticeably more "generous".

Li Shurui remained lying on her side, not moving. Perhaps because she had slept for a while, she was in good spirits, and a smile appeared on her lips. "We are all women, what does it matter?"

Just because they're all women doesn't mean I can touch or grope them however I want.
Why do two men rarely sleep in the same bed?
"If you move again, I'll give you an extra blanket."

This is a good solution.

Each person sleeps in their own bedding, so they don't disturb each other and won't bump into each other.

"Sister Fang Qing, aren't you overreacting a bit? Duanmu and I slept perfectly fine. You don't have some kind of mental fastidiousness, do you?"

Fang Qing turned her head, their eyes meeting almost touching. "How many people have you slept with?"

Li Shurui frowned and her smile faded.

Fang Qing quickly realized her words were inappropriate. She hadn't meant it, nor was it a joke; it was purely unintentional.
"sorry."

What you just said was extremely offensive, and you should apologize.

"Fine, I'll forgive you since you're pregnant."

Li Shurui appeared magnanimous, knowing full well that the other party hadn't meant it, but she still emphasized, "I was a virgin when I was with him."

woman.

They're really competitive.

"What does this have to do with me?"

"It's nothing, I was just saying."

Fang Qing couldn't stand her "carefree" attitude, which perfectly captured someone's essence, and let out a cold laugh.
"What a coincidence, me too."

"hehe."

Li Shurui gave a dry laugh, turned over, and faced the ceiling. "You've never been in a relationship, do I even need to say that?"

So you mean you have a very rich romantic history?

"No, but I'm still a little bit better than you. I admired a senior in high school."

Li Shurui remained calm and said, "Don't try to sow discord. I've already explained all of this to him."

"Do you think everyone is that boring?"

Fang Qing scoffed.

The darkness of night makes it easier for people to take off their masks.

On the same bed, under the same blanket, the two women seemed to reveal their true colors.

"Sister Fang Qing, I'm a little curious."

Li Shurui tilted her head. "Have you never met anyone of the opposite sex that you're attracted to? I mean, besides that guy. Political Science and Law University, Kyoto—there must be many outstanding people in your circle, right? Haven't you ever wavered?"

Fang Qing stared at the ceiling, seemingly oblivious.

"I will absolutely keep this a secret."

Fang Qing remained silent.

"I will absolutely not be angry."

Li Shurui continued to make assurances.

at last.

Fang Qing reacted, and her reaction was quite intense.

Ok.

He swore.

"What are you angry about? When I was playing house with him, you were still breastfeeding!"

Humans are not plants or trees.

So what if he's a top lawyer?

Does that mean it's indestructible?

impossible.

AI has emotions.

"That's an exaggeration. I'm only a year younger than you, don't put on airs about age in front of me."

"Why should I put on airs with you? You need to understand that you got a bargain, so you should be grateful and pay attention to the way you talk to me, your attitude, and your tone."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Li Shurui teased, "As expected of a top lawyer, you really know how to manipulate people. You think I'm getting a bargain? I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it..."

Fang Qing remained composed, facing the ceiling with a measured tone, neither too loud nor too soft, neither too hot nor too cold, neither too fast nor too slow, "I'm useless? I'm pregnant, are you pregnant? Who's really useless here?"

"Whoosh!"

Fang Qing didn't break down, but someone else did.

Li Shurui threw back the covers and sat up abruptly. She wasn't wearing pajamas; those were too bulky and inconvenient for sleeping. Wearing only a bra, she sat chilly on the edge of the bed, glaring angrily at the shameless woman.

"Fang Qing, you're supposed to be highly educated, are you even speaking human language? You need to get this straight, who's his real girlfriend? If this were ancient times, I could have beaten you to death!"

"Oh."

Fang Qing was still staring at the ceiling. "Beating someone to death? That's a right only a legal wife has. Are you a legal wife now? Or do you think you will be one in the future?"

All right.

be cheated.

Overwhelmed with anger, Li Shurui suddenly stopped talking, bent her legs, buried her face in her knees, and curled up like a pitiful and helpless child.

Seeing that there was no more movement, Fang Qing, who had been talking too much, turned her head to look, and then her anger subsided.

Did I go too far?
"You're the one who started the argument."

Fang Qing pursed her lips, looking a bit like a child who had a fight and ended up hurting the other person's sore spot.

Li Shurui remained silent, hugging her legs tightly with both hands, curling up even more, as if trying to keep herself warm.

"Is that all you can handle?"

Still no response.

"Lie down here first, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Don't worry about it."

Finally, there was a response.

"This is my home. If anything happens to you, don't I bear the responsibility?" As expected of a professional, she has a strong sense of the law.

Li Shurui, who was only wearing a bra and underwear, ignored her.

"You think you look good like this, right? I'm not gay, do this for men."

Fang Qing knew that in this situation, simply speaking softly would not work. Sure enough, with a rustling sound, the other person lay down again and crawled back into bed.

That's right.

Arguing is fine, but self-harm is not.

People who act recklessly and without regard for others, regardless of gender, should be avoided.

Although she lay down, Li Shurui did not mean to "forgive" Fang Qing. She had been facing Fang Qing just now, but now she was lying on her side in the opposite direction, showing Fang Qing a beautiful back of her head.

Actually, this sleeping position is what Fang Qing wants to pursue, at least the other party will not touch her inappropriately again, but she is also worried that her words just now really hurt the other party.

As a legal professional, she was well aware of the power of language, which is sharper than swords.

"Have you never gotten pregnant even once?"

She asked calmly, looking at the back of the head.

"What do you mean?"

Although he didn't turn around, his tone was relatively calm, and he didn't sound like he was crying.

"Some women are prone to chemical pregnancy, meaning they have difficulty maintaining the pregnancy in the early stages."

After becoming pregnant, she made up for lost time by cramming a lot of relevant knowledge. Many couples don't have children, but that doesn't mean they haven't gotten pregnant. Some people are naturally fertile, while others get pregnant but are prone to miscarriage.

"No."

"You two have been together for several years now..."

He's still too straightforward.

"Whoosh—"

Li Shurui turned over again, staring straight at her, and said, word by word, "I've already said it, we see each other very little."

Don't go out.

Even with limited time together and several years of dating, how can one not be suspicious if there's been no news of any romantic activity?

From a social point of view, it shouldn't be brought up, but from a sincere perspective, as a friend, one should remind someone.

"Should we get a checkup?"

Li Shurui didn't go berserk again, as if she had expected it. Instead, she laughed incredulously.
"Oh."

"Thank you. I've checked, and I'll go with him."

All right.

That's unnecessary.

Fang Qing turned her head, lay flat on her back facing the ceiling, and closed her eyes.

The conflict has come to an end.

Go to sleep.

She was about to continue counting sheep when someone bumped her arm again.

Fang Qing remained unmoved; after all, the bed wasn't very big, and she couldn't be too picky.

Tolerance often leads to more escalation, and the hand gradually moved from her arm toward her stomach.

The moment Fang Qing opened her eyes, Li Shurui said at the same time, "Can I touch you?"

"No."

Fang Qing was resolute.

"Can you please not be so stingy?"

"You don't have a belly?"

Li Shurui didn't force the issue; her hand remained on the other person's arm. "How about we play a game?"

Fang Qing ignored her and didn't respond.

It doesn't matter, people can just say whatever they want, "Do you think you're having a boy or a girl?"

Why do so many people like playing this kind of game?

I guess it's a boy.

Fang Qing remained unmoved.

Li Shurui withdrew her hand from the other person's body and lay flat on her back as well. "Because the older generation often says that sour foods mean a boy and spicy foods mean a girl."

A soft, suppressed laugh rang out, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet of the night.

"You're supposed to be highly educated, yet you're still considered ashamed."

Li Shurui, who had just said the same line, was unimpressed and focused her gaze on the light bulb resting on the ceiling. "Although it's a bit feudal, there must be some reason why it has been passed down for so long."

Boys and girls.

In a normal family, this topic would definitely be discussed after a pregnancy, but Fang Qing couldn't afford to, as she was preoccupied with far too many other issues.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Fang Qing went straight to the point; if she continued down the beaten path, there would be no sleep tonight.

"Sister Fang Qing, let me give you another idea."

No matter what.

They are either treacherous or thieves.

The other party went to great lengths to sleep in the same bed with her; they must have had ulterior motives.

"You said."

You can't shut other people up, so it's better to be generous. Besides, she's curious about what kind of wild ideas the other person might come up with.

“My previous idea was too simplistic. Hiding from my uncles and aunts and not letting them find out was too naive and only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.”

"Do you have any other brilliant ideas?"

Fang Qing said without any sadness or joy.

"I can help you out."

"How to cooperate?"

These two were quite interesting. They shared a bed and talked intimately late at night, but neither of them looked at the other; both their eyes were fixed on the ceiling.

“Just say…it’s my child.”

Hear thunder in a silent place.

Even though Fang Qing had built up some mental preparation based on the other party's previous idea of ​​"stepping down and making way for a more capable person," hearing this idea still left her stunned.

"What do you mean by 'your child'?"

“You give birth to the child, and I will raise it. You will still be his mother, but no one else will know. That way, there will be no gossip.”

Li Shurui spoke methodically, as if she were recounting a trivial matter.

but.

It's really nothing to be surprised about.

"Sister Fang Qing, you must have seen similar things quite a few times. This is a very good method that can avoid a lot of trouble, don't you think?"

The vast world.

The mortal world is a vast and complex place.

There are countless bizarre and strange stories.

The lives of many people in "grand mansions" can exceed the imagination of ordinary people. Fang Qing has become accustomed to it. However, just because she finds it strange does not mean that she can accept being assimilated.

"And what about him? How did he manage to hide it?"

“He definitely can’t hide it from me, but I can handle it. As long as no one else knows, that’s enough. Fang Qing, you are still you, you are still that glamorous and admirable lawyer, you will not have any stain on your reputation.”

Fang Qing calmed down.

"The child is still yours; you have suffered no loss."

Li Shurui continued.

Her voice was soft and gentle, but there is no kindness without a reason in this world.

Moreover, how was she, who also came from an ordinary family, able to gradually enter the core of that guy's business empire and gain a foothold? Was it because of her naivety?

Is it selfless and without any desire to "raise" one's own child?
"My child is not a burden."

Fang Qing said emotionlessly, "It's not a tool either."

Li Shurui didn't take it to heart, her expression serene. "The world will become what you see it through. If Sister Fang Qing could set aside her utilitarian motives, she should know that this method benefits everyone. Of course, if Sister Fang Qing has a better method, you can pretend I didn't say anything tonight."

After saying that, she turned over and faced away from him, saying, "Goodnight."

She had said everything she wanted to say, but Fang Qing couldn't close her eyes. No one was bothering her, but she couldn't fall asleep anymore. Her mind was buzzing, and she even seemed to have tinnitus. She had lost all interest in counting sheep.

She still wasn't used to sleeping with someone.

I'm destined to have a sleepless night. (End of Chapter)
