Chapter 162 Extra 23: I believe women have the right to freely choose and give up childbearing
Maybe that's right, but Jian Yi also understood that Bai Hongmei was worried about her future. She was looking forward to having a boy, a boy who would bring honor to the family and inherit the family business.

But she will be different from Bai Hongmei.

If she really has a child of her own, she will give him all her love, let him grow up in an atmosphere of happiness and harmony with his parents, give him the best conditions, and then let him walk on his own and bravely become whoever he wants to be.

Jian Yi had been in there for half an hour.

Jin Yanchen was feeling very restless outside for the past half hour. He lowered his head to look at his watch, stood up, walked over and knocked on the door gently.

"Small."

Jian Yi hummed softly, she pushed the door open and walked out, her eyelashes drooping, a little damp from the bathroom mist.

Jin Yanchen glanced at her, his eyes wandering for a few times, and in the end he just gently took her hand and led her to sit at the oak round table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Look, strawberry sandwich cake." Jin Yanchen fed her personally, "Try it and see if it's sweet."

"Sweet." Jian Yi looked at him steadily, her eyes slightly moist, and asked half-jokingly, "I haven't even given you the answer yet, and you're already celebrating?"

The sadness I had originally felt was blown away by his joking yet serious words.

Jin Yanchen looked at her straight in the face, his tone serious.

He told her very clearly that there was no need to regard childbearing as a necessary task just because of the fact of a marriage. The socially accepted rules were not procedures that had to be followed in every case as long as they did not violate morality and the law.

There was a clear hint of anger in her words.

She has the greatest freedom to make decisions.

"It's not because you're pregnant that it's worth celebrating, but because I love you. I know the sweetness of a cake is not enough to eliminate the hardship and pain of pregnancy, but because you love me, you are willing to bear it for me."

"So I think women have the right to freely choose and give up having children, and men have no right to interfere."

"There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. It's just that the party that benefits chooses to ignore it automatically, and it becomes the default rule over time. If you really think about it, one person should spend five months of the ten-month pregnancy."

Jin Yanchen laughed in silence. He stroked her back with his palm, patting it rhythmically. It didn't matter whether she had a baby or not. Now she was the most important child in his heart.

Jin Yanchen reached out and stroked the top of her head. His eyes were full of tenderness, like sparks in the dark night, revealing the maturity and gentleness accumulated over the years.

A child who needs him to coax him slowly and untie his knot step by step.

Jian Yi laughed out loud, she gently wrapped her arms around Jin Yanchen's waist, and snuggled into his arms. She whispered, "Why don't other men think this way? When I was very young, my parents always quarreled. My father would quarrel when he was drunk, and the reason for the quarrel was always because of me. At that time, I felt that men were so selfish. They couldn't have children, but they still had a lot of nagging demands."

He said gently, "When you made the decision to get pregnant, I thanked you from the bottom of my heart for your sacrifice and love for me."

Jian Yi burst into laughter, she raised her head and held Jin Yanchen's face, looking at him with clear eyes, "Because I love you, I am willing to accept the unfairness of the Creator."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if there's no baby here." Jin Yanchen came closer, lowered his head to sniff the sweet aroma of the strawberry cake, and smiled softly beside her ear, "It just so happens that I'll try harder tonight."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Jian Yi shook her head and looked at him with a look of loss. "I just spent twenty minutes reading the instructions. If nothing goes wrong, we're probably going to have a baby." Jin Yanchen was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but curl up his lips. No matter how rational and self-controlled he was, he would throw it away at this time. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, whispering in her ear.

"Thank you for this gift, and I love you, too."

Jian Yi stared at him, as if she was infected by his joy, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her lips.

"Jin Yanchen, I have always had a regret. I regret that I was born in a family that favors boys over girls. I regret that I am a child that was not born with the blessing of my parents."

"But our child will be born with our love and expectations, and he will be the happiest child in the world."

"Are you willing to work with me to achieve this ambitious macro goal?"

Jian Yi took a deep breath. She had a grand feeling of saying goodbye to the past once and for all, just like the tragic feeling of a warrior who would never return. However, she understood clearly that this trip was taking her to a bright and new road.

"It's not him, it's you." Jin Yanchen looked at her solemnly and smiled, "You and him will both be the happiest people in the world."

"And I, having you, will be the greatest happiness."
-
The pregnancy period was not as difficult as Jian Yi had imagined. She also experienced some pregnancy reactions, but these seemed to be eliminated by the surprises that Jin Yanchen brought her from time to time.

This year he got off work early, at 5 p.m. On the summer evening, when the sun had completely set, he would hold her hand and stroll along the shore of Weiming Lake. The two swans in the lake had grown bright feathers, and the green mountains and clear waters were full of verdant greenery.

Jianyi sometimes has uncontrollable morning sickness.

Jin Yanchen would pretend to sigh with regret, move closer to her, and speak in a rather resentful tone.

"Xiaoyi, it's only been a few years and you're already bored."

"You feel like vomiting when you see me now?"

Jian Yi would probably laugh out loud at this time, and even pat his shoulder with her free hand, secretly sneering at his nonsense. Morning sickness was sometimes forgotten, and when the sky was completely stained with dusk, she realized that they had walked a long way without realizing it.

She did not delay her work at all this year. She and He Wei were planning to open a new firm, and some new working models were gradually taking shape in her mind. When she shared her ideas with Jin Yanchen, he expressed his full agreement.

During the past two years of work, Jianyi has gained a lot of new insights.

Her biggest realization is that compared to the anxiety-provoking midlife crisis, the female crisis seems to be more worthy of exploration.

She once faced such a dilemma. She handed over a well-made resume, but the HR took a quick glance at her gender and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Jian Yi shook her head, indicating that she was unmarried and childless, and had no plans to get married for the time being.

Even so, she still received a rejection letter. The reason was that there was too much uncertainty in being unmarried and childless. Love always makes people impulsive. You might get married in the next second and take maternity leave in the next second. The company cannot afford such a huge fertility risk.

What about those who are married but have no children? For those young girls who have just gotten married, it seems that their work will inevitably be affected by pregnancy.

Those who are married and have children feel that their focus must be on family matters. Such people cannot concentrate on contributing value to the company, and compared with men of the same age, their advantages are reduced by more than half.

Whether they are in their twenties, thirties or forties, it seems that women of every age are facing difficulties.
