Upon hearing this, Jiuge nodded happily.

She always thought that having children was terrifying.

When I was four years old, the housekeeper would secretly watch TV dramas while Jiuge was resting.

She suddenly woke up and accidentally heard the heart-wrenching cries of a pregnant woman in a TV drama.

The pregnant woman's voice was truly terrifying.

And then, right after that, the old man's voice came on again in the TV series.

It was still a scream like, "The lady is gone!!!!!"

Then a group of people started wailing and howling.

The sheer volume of information conveyed by this series of sounds left an indelible psychological scar on young Jiuge.

Although after studying biology as an adult I understand that modern people still have cesarean sections and that pregnant women don't die so easily.

But the thought of that voice that haunted her childhood still made her a little scared.

"If it's your own idea, and doesn't involve my thoughts, how many children would you like to have?" Jiuge asked, swallowing hard.

Because she was so nervous, she gripped An Chen's hand tighter and tighter.

"Hiss... one." An Chen felt as if his hand had been pinched hard by pliers.

"Boy or girl?" Jiuge quickly withdrew her grip.

In her nervousness, she forgot that she seemed to be stronger than she had imagined.

"It's a girl, I suppose." An Chen exhaled.

He still felt a slight pain in his hand.

I glanced down at my knuckles and sure enough, they were a little red.

Jiuge suddenly stopped talking.

"But our family still has the outdated custom of hoping for a male heir to inherit the family business." After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to utter this sentence.

Often, it is the larger and more powerful the family business that has the most feudalistic mindset among its leaders.

Jiuge herself has a deep understanding of this.

"You mean your cousin will inherit all nine of your businesses?" An Chen asked, cracking his neck.

If he remembered correctly, Jiuge's parents should have been running a gemstone products company.

If it really is Jiuwu who inherits, then Jiuge has even less reason to worry too much about those rigid rules.

"That's not necessarily true, it could be me," Jiuge replied after a moment's thought.

Jiuwu's personality has always made things difficult for the family.

Especially the elders, they worry about him every day.

She's incredibly talented in every way, but her strong personality always makes it difficult for others to handle her.

His family members wanted to control him, but they couldn't.

An Chen fell silent.

"Then you'll be the head of the family, and no one else will be able to control you." He paused for a moment before analyzing.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like being the boss is still more worthwhile.

“That makes sense.” Jiuge nodded slightly.

"Anyway, if they really wanted to control you, you probably wouldn't listen to them anyway," An Chen said with a laugh.

Based on his rough understanding of Jiuge's past life.

Now, Jiu Ge is able to move out and live alone, and she can even convince her family to let her bring An Chen, her male partner, along.

Judging from these two points alone, Jiuge's experience in fighting for her rights must have been extraordinary.

Following this line of reasoning, the Kujou family must have been unable to deal with Kuga any longer, which is why they are now pandering to her.

“That seems to make sense. I’m quite rebellious right now.” Jiuge nodded proudly.

“Rebellious?…” An Chen glanced at Jiu Ge again.

He was a little shocked.

So, in Jiuge's mind, this word is considered a positive term?

"What if I don't want to have children? Are you really willing?" Jiuge suddenly lowered her head again.

"If we were to choose to be childless..." she said with some unease.

I searched for Jiuge online.

Many people say that men marry wives because they want children.

She said she didn't want children.

There's a high probability that he tricked his girlfriend into becoming his wife, and then tricked his wife into having a child.

Although she didn't think An Chen was that kind of person, she still felt uneasy and started overthinking if she didn't ask him carefully.

"I'm willing." An Chen answered without hesitation.

“But the internet says that marriage is for carrying on the family line. My parents also had me through an arranged marriage, and they were quite disappointed when they found out I wasn’t a boy.” Reflecting on her own experience, Jiuge still felt a little uneasy.

She couldn't help but want to confirm it a few more times.

“Many people do think that way, but I’m not one of them. And as I just said, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to listen to your elders.” An Chen suddenly felt that the internet was really harmful.

Originally, Jiuge's vision, acceptance, and perspective were already quite advanced, but when she first came into contact with information online, her thinking began to waver.

"Okay, I know."

After confirming it repeatedly, Jiuge was finally at ease.

Girls are often very strange.

If something is clearly true, but you don't verify it multiple times and keep getting the same answer, it's easy to start overthinking.

In severe cases, one can even mistake a fake for a real one.

Chapter 201 Rich Woman and Pretty Boy (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

When I arrived at the shopping plaza closest to the community, it was just past 10 a.m.

Following a map app to find their way to the cat cafe, the two stopped in front of a high-end-looking ice cream shop.

"I want to eat this." Seeing the various attractive ice cream promotional pictures displayed at the entrance of the ice cream shop, Jiuge swallowed and licked her lips.

"The ice cream sold here is a little different from the ice cream we had yesterday," An Chen explained.

The ice cream was frozen solid, while the ice cream was soft and smooth.

Because ice cream has a higher fat content than popsicles, it tastes better.

Therefore, ice cream is more expensive than popsicles.

"I want to eat this! I've never eaten this before!" Jiuge pointed at the ice cream advertisement in front of her, her eyes sparkling.

After saying that, she stomped her foot.

"When is your period?" Just to be on the safe side, An Chen decided to confirm.

"How...how can you ask such an embarrassing question so naturally?" Jiuge complained while continuing to stare at the ice cream advertisement.

"Of course it's still very far," she replied dismissively.

"Okay, let's go in then." An Chen chuckled.

Seeing that no one around had noticed Jiu Ge's strange behavior, he quickly led her into the store.

To be honest, Jiu Ge's expression and tone just now perfectly recreated the scene he had imagined of a certain grandmother visiting the Grand View Garden.

Of course, An Chen didn't mind this at all; on the contrary, he found it quite cute.

But the thought of the little boy who had just finished eating ice cream and walked out of the store holding his mother's hand, only to see the silly boy Jiuge at the door, came to mind.

Then, if that child says something outrageous again, Jiuge's reaction will probably be quite surprising.

"Pfft." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiuge swayed his hand from side to side, her tone cheerful.

"I think you're just too cute," An Chen said affectionately.

"I know I'm cute!" Jiu Ge said shyly, nuzzling An Chen's body with her head.

There was actually a little kid next to them who raised his finger and secretly made a shy gesture towards Jiu Ge's back.

"puff……"

An Chen noticed that the cashier at the door seemed to be watching them, trying not to laugh.

"What do you want to eat?" An Chen straightened his expression, trying to appear more serious.

Jiuge was still nudging his body, and he felt a bit itchy all over.

"Either is fine." Jiuge finally stuck her head back in.

She glanced to the left, then to the right, her expression somewhat troubled.

"Then I'll choose?" An Chen raised his chin and suggested.

"Mmm-hmm." Jiuge nodded vigorously.

The ice cream was especially delicious yesterday.

The ice cream I saw today looks even better, so it must taste even better.

After escorting Jiuge to a seat, An Chen ordered a huge ice cream cake and a bucket of fruit ice cream.

Back in his seat, he rested his chin on his hand and stared intently at Jiu Ge, whose expression was one of intense excitement.

“I also have a question.” His expression turned serious.

"What's the problem?" Seeing An Chen's expression change, Jiu Ge's expression also became serious.
