I'm Pregnant with the World's Hope

After a one-night stand, human Jian Luo discovered she was pregnant, and the child she was carrying might not even be human...

In Star Year 25, all of humanity migrated to Dark Star, living i...

Chapter 146 Marriage Law

Jian Luo stood at the door hesitantly. He looked outside, moved cautiously to the door, stretched out his arm and clicked on the outside screen. The intelligent optical computer transmitted the outside scene in real time. The image displayed outside the door showed three... little dragons.

!!

Jian Luo's hand trembled and he quickly opened the door.

The door opened with a click, and three dragon cubs were standing in a row outside. When the door opened, Jian Luo hadn't even seen clearly before his trouser legs were tangled up like a gust of wind.

Long Aotian skillfully climbed up with his little claws and squatted on Jian Luo's shoulder. When his father looked over, he made an annoyed "chi" sound.

Full of energy and extremely aggrieved!

The younger sister and brother were a little slower, but in the end they still found a place to nestle in Jian Luo's arms skillfully.

Jian Luo touched Long Aotian's head and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

The younger sister was very smart and was the first to understand Jian Luo's meaning. The little silver dragon stared at him with moist eyes and said softly, "I miss Daddy."

She might have felt a little aggrieved, so she nudged Jian Luo's hand, as if complaining, "Daddy isn't coming home."

The cub's dragon scales were soft and cool, and they felt a little itchy when they brushed across the palm of my hand, like a light scratch on my heart, making me feel sad and soft.

Jian Luo softened his tone: "Who brought you here?"

Long Batian looked back and pointed with his little paw at his father who was standing in the shadows beside him. He sold out his teammates without hesitation.

Jian Luo glanced sideways in slight surprise. He was a little too excited to reunite with his child just now, and he actually only realized now that he was looking at a living person standing here!

"You..." Jian Luo smiled unconsciously when she saw him: "Why are you here?"

Lu Shifeng picked up the chattering Long Aotian and said, "They won't sleep."

Jian Luo was stunned.

"I refused to eat." Lu Shifeng continued to blame others expressionlessly: "I was making a fuss about coming to see you."

Jian Luo looked down at Zizi in surprise: "Are you guys making trouble?"

The two cubs who were being watched by their father suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Actually... they did make a fuss. Which dragon could stand sleeping alone with their daddy when his dad was not around?

In fact, they are really afraid of Lu Shifeng. Only Jian Luo will feel distressed when they make trouble. But Lu Shifeng is different. If they make trouble during training, they will be punished twice as much. Lu Shifeng never shows mercy to them.

So tonight I only dared to make a small protest.

In the past, if they made a fuss, Lu Shifeng's attitude would probably be:

If you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep.

Don't eat if you don't want to

If you have nothing to do, go train and stop complaining.

result

Just after they weakly protested, the usually stern-faced Lu Shifeng said, "You want to see him?"

The dragon cubs nodded.

Then……

Then it was delivered.

Everything seems like a dream, and the kids find it very dreamy too!

Jian Luo, however, believed that they must be causing a serious disturbance. She pursed her lips and said to Lu Shifeng, "I'm sorry to have made you run here so late at night. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"What's the trouble? Aren't they my offspring?" Lu Shifeng's eyes fell on the cubs: "They want to see you. Please take them in tonight."

Jian Luo nodded.

The corridor suddenly fell into an eerie silence. He felt as if Lu Shifeng had something to say. He subconsciously looked up and was met with those deep, blood-red eyes. He was wearing casual clothes and had taken off his military uniform that made people feel distant. He was about one meter away from Jian Luo. His tall body no longer felt so oppressive. Under the warm yellow light at the door, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, as if he was just an outstanding big brother next door.

Lu Shifeng opened his thin lips and said frankly: "I'm going to trouble you too."

Jian Luo was stunned.

Lu Shifeng took a slow step forward and stood in front of him. After waiting for a long while, he said, "It's the middle of the night. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jian."

Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jian.

For some reason, Jian Luo felt that the word "hard work" was a bit hot in his ears.

He felt ashamed of his wild thoughts, but still made way for her: "Come in, it's no trouble."

A four-bedroom apartment was a bit too big for him alone, but Jian Luo was planning to have his mother and brother move in. There were three rooms in total, and the last room was converted into a studio for him to use for live broadcasts.

Because Anleyuan has not been tidied up yet, several rooms are empty, but they can be used now.

The three cubs were obviously very curious about their new home. They tilted their heads in Jian Luo's arms and looked around excitedly. Seeing their curiosity, Jian Luo simply put them down and let them play by themselves.

Lu Shifeng changed his shoes and walked to the kitchen: "Come."

Jian Luo came out of the bedroom: "What..."

The air was filled with the aroma of food. On the table stood a well-packaged set meal, the aroma of braised pork wafting from it. Next to the box was a bowl of warm soup. Lu Shifeng stood by the table, unpacked the tableware and placed it beside him, saying, "Eat something."

Jian Luo said: "You, how do you know I haven't eaten?"

Actually, he did eat. He was so hungry after coming back from the research institute that he ate a few pieces of disposable biscuits. Although they were tasteless, they filled his stomach. When he got home, there was nothing in the refrigerator. He was not that hungry if he went out to buy food, so he just made do with it.

But what he never expected was that Lu Shifeng would bring him food!

Lu Shifeng went into the bedroom, brought the three of them over, and sat on the other side to feed them milk cakes. He said calmly, "There's nothing to eat at the research institute. The house was just transferred today, and there's nothing in the refrigerator. You came back late, what else can you eat besides some cookies?"

Jian Luo picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the hot rice: "Maybe I'll go out to buy food because I'm hungry."

Lu Shifeng stuffed a piece of milk cake into Long Aotian's mouth, raised his eyelids to look at Jian Luo, and said in a deep voice: "Did you go?"

Jian Luo choked up suddenly.

He lowered his head to hide his emotions and bit off a piece of meat.

The braised pork was very flavorful, sweet and spicy. The warmth of the food softened his stomach, and this warmth seemed to wrap around his heart as well.

When I was young, people around me would also fall in love.

The most romantic thing is a gentle complaint late at night, and your partner will appear downstairs regardless of the weather to bring you food and drinks. The young couple is so sweet that eating is not important, as long as they have love, they are satisfied.

Every time this happens, he would open the takeaway and say sourly, "The taxi fare here is more expensive than the delivery."

Yes

He is jealous.

Although he was complaining about the taxi fare, he was actually envious. He envied others for having someone who loved them, someone who cared about them, and someone who would go through thick and thin. But he was alone, free of worries, like a weed growing alone in a corner, exposed to rain and wind, and no one cared about him all these years.

"Boom"

A cup of water was gently placed next to me.

Lu Shifeng carried Long Aotian, who was not eating properly, and said, "Don't just eat."

Jian Luo came back to his senses and responded subconsciously as he took the cup of water. The water felt warm to his touch. As far as he knew, the Dark Star people had no habit of drinking hot water, but Lu Shifeng actually remembered to pour hot water for him. Surprised, he looked up at Lu Shifeng.

Lu Shifeng noticed someone looking at him sideways and frowned: "Is it burned?"

Inexplicably, Jian Luo smiled and shook his head gently: "It's not hot."

Outside the window, thousands of lights were on. The cold room seemed lively because of two or three children. The warm yellow light of the restaurant was scattered. A tall and handsome man was fighting wits and courage with the children who were not eating well, one in each hand. The chirping of little dragons could be heard from time to time on the table. There was steaming hot food in front of him. Everything was very ordinary, but he felt comfortable for the first time.

Jian Luo raised her face, her eyebrows curved, and her eyes were filled with gentleness: "Thank you."

Lu Shifeng, who was holding the dragon cub, turned around and saw such a brilliant smile. The person looked fair-skinned under the light, and his dark eyes looked at him without blinking. When the light went down, those eyes seemed to be condensed with broken starlight, with a look of complete trust and obedience. Although Jian Luo did nothing, it made people feel inexplicably itchy, as if being gently scratched by a cat's ear, making people want to hug him and love him.

Lu Shifeng's eyes darkened slightly, and his hands unconsciously increased their strength.

"Chi"

The pinched Long Aotian cried out twice in dissatisfaction and flapped his wings to resist.

Lu Shifeng threw it back to eat, calmed down, and then said: "Jian Luo."

"ah?"

"Eat well."

Don't seduce dragons casually.

"……OK."

The evening meal ended with a lot of play and quarreling. Jian Luo went to sleep with the cubs, while Lu Shifeng was sent to the guest room next door to rest. The empty-nest old dragon felt a little depressed to be alone in the empty room again. However, the three cubs in Jian Luo's arms were as happy as gods. The most playful Long Aotian even said cheerfully when he saw Lu Shifeng's dark face, "Goodbye, Daddy."

The other kids did the same.

He is dedicated to rubbing salt into his father's wounds to avenge the bullying he suffers in his daily life.

Jian Luo thought Lu Shifeng was annoyed by their noise, so she quickly closed the door and said, "Then I'll take them to bed. Good night."

"Crack"

The door was closed.

the next day

In the morning, Jian Luo was going to Anleyuan to inspect the strength and plan. Lu Shifeng simply took the three children to send him there. Jian Luo got out of the car and said to the children, "Be obedient in class today."

The three little ones also wanted to go with him. Jian Luo tried to coax them for a long time but they kept making a fuss. Finally, Lu Shifeng just gave them a look and they became quiet.

Jian Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stood outside the car and waved at them: "Then I'm leaving."

The three kids leaned against the car window and watched eagerly.

Jian Luo's heart softened when his eyes met, but before he could soften even more, Lu Shifeng directly took Long away and rolled down the car window to block all sight.

Three cubs: "..."

They glared at Lu Shifeng angrily.

Lu Shifeng was calm and composed, even a smile appeared on his lips: "Goodbye, Daddy."

Long Aotian widened his eyes and looked at his biological father in disbelief. At such a young age, he was taught the dangers of society by Lu Shifeng. His biological father was really a vengeful man!

Anleyuan

When Jian Luo came over, people from every household along the way came out to greet him.

"Luoluo ya"

"Luoluo is here."

"Luoluo, come to my house and sit down."

The villagers, who were not very familiar with him before, showed him 100% enthusiasm, which was simply overwhelming.

There were also many children on the road who were hiding at a distance not too far away and peeking out of curiosity. They were full of curiosity and wanted to see what the rumored new owner of the earth, the future ruler of Anle Paradise, would look like. They imagined it would be a mature middle-aged man or an old man with white hair, but no matter what, they never expected it to be such a young-looking young man.

Jian Luo went back home first.

As soon as he arrived, the former head of Anleyuan arrived. It was Director Wang. He greeted him as soon as he entered the door: "Luoluo, you're back."

Jian Luo smiled at him and said, "Director Wang, please sit down."

Director Wang is not young, he is in his fifties, and most of his hair is white. He said in a hoarse voice, "No, no, I won't. I'll just stand."

Jian Luo came over and took his hand and asked him to sit down on the sofa: "Don't be polite with me, sit down."

Su Liang brought out some brewed tea from the kitchen and greeted them, saying with a smile, "You guys drink some tea, I'll go cut some fruit."

Director Wang thanked him quickly.

When Jian Luo's family was in poverty, Director Wang was arrogant and extremely harsh. Now that Jian Luo's family is prosperous, Director Wang is submissive and polite again. We can't blame him for being profit-driven. It can only be said that it is human nature.

Jian Luo took out the printed document and said, "I plan to gather everyone in the square today for a small meeting."

"Now that Dark Star is supporting Anleyuan, there's no need for everyone to stay in the shed and grow vegetables. Anyone with other ideas can bring them up." Jian Luo thought for a moment and said, "Now that I'm here, the overall plan must be adjusted. I hope Director Wang can cooperate."

Director Wang glanced at Jian Luo and smiled, "Of course."

In his heart, he looked down on Jian Luo, but he had to listen to Jian Luo.

He knew exactly how the humans in Anleyuan achieved liberation. Without Jianluo, they would be nothing.

Seeing that he was cooperating, Jian Luo said, "If you have any ideas or opinions, please tell me."

"As for ideas, we can discuss them during the meeting." Director Wang said, "But there's something everyone's most concerned about right now, and what they want to know the most. Isn't it legal for us to marry Dark Stars now? But the Civil Affairs Bureau hasn't yet enacted a law on this matter..."

The marriage law only protects the Dark Star people, and there is not even a section on human marriage law.

Neither high nor low, neither fish nor fowl.

The person in charge now is Jian Luo, so they can only blame Jian Luo.

Jian Luo just thought of this and wondered, "Can't I get the certificate?"

"No," Director Wang said. "In the past, we all married humans, so we didn't even need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. We could just go to the village entrance and get it notarized. But times have changed. I went to the higher-ups a few days ago to inquire, and they said we need the official seal of our chairman to go through the application process."

The official seal is with Jian Luo. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll take a look."

Director Wang felt relieved.

The next step was to convene a meeting of all humans. This was Jian Luo's first time attending a meeting, and quite a few people came. The young ones were quite excited, while the older ones looked rather lazy. After all, many of them were of higher seniority than Jian Luo, so they were a little unwilling to accept the situation.

Fortunately, Jian Luo didn't care. He was only responsible for planning Anleyuan. It was best if you cooperated with his arrangements. He didn't bother with those who didn't. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in the hands of God. Everyone just had to do what they are supposed to do.

Jian Luo talked about some upcoming plans and arrangements, and emphasized: "From today on, children aged 5 and above must receive preschool education, and children under the age of 15 can apply to return to school."

This is a relatively major reform.

There are also different opinions below:

“What if I don’t have money?”

"My family can't afford it."

"Studying is so expensive, it's better to farm."

Jian Nan flipped through the file in his hand and said, "The Education Department will provide free compulsory education until the age of 15."

As soon as the words were spoken, everything became quiet.

Those who had just opposed it were dumbfounded, only some children had excited eyes shining.

Finally, someone said, "Where's the money for compulsory education?"

"This money is something I need to consider, not you." Jian Luo sat on the high seat, his face stern: "Go home and fill out the list and submit it."

Everyone below was quiet.

Some people previously thought that Jian Luo was not capable of important tasks, but now they have a new respect for him.

I don’t know who started the applause, but there was a cheer from the audience, especially from some of the children, who seemed even more excited.

Jian Luo: "If you still have questions, you can follow the order of the book."

Once the first problem is solved, his words will carry more weight.

Those who were a little nervous at first finally dared to speak out about their needs.

After collecting several pages of questions, Jian Luo assigned tasks to people in different places according to the previous plan, so that the group that was originally headless could find what they needed to do.

Jian Luo himself was also quite busy, and the first thing he had to deal with was the issue of marriage law.

This matter would be very easy to accomplish. Dark Star is currently undergoing reforms, and all places are at the forefront of the storm. If Jian Luo wants to get things done, every local-level department will cooperate 100%.

But when the draft came into his hands, Jian Luo frowned again.

He was very dissatisfied with the proposed marriage law.

This law seems to challenge people's patience from the very first article: "Civil Marriage Law Article 1: When a dark star and a human marry, based on the marriage treaty, the human should take the husband's surname after marriage, and the household registration should be transferred to the husband's household registration. Based on the principle of equality, the property needs to be clearly divided."

In simple terms, this regulation means:

After humans marry Dark Star people, they must change their surnames, and their household registration must be changed according to the animal registration of their partner. The significance of this is that the issues of child custody and human rights have basically nothing to do with humans, and after marriage they are just accessories.

As for the division of property, the meaning is even more obvious. The wealth of the Dark Star people has nothing to do with their human wives. After marriage, the two parties have independent property and do not interfere with each other. On the surface, it seems like they are protecting their respective property, but in fact they are afraid that humans will covet their money after marriage.

The entire Marriage Law, whether in terms of its drafting or the treaty itself, is a joke.

How can there be such outrageous things in this world? They want humans to marry, have children, and take care of the family, and they demand that they become accessories without enjoying any rights.

Jian Luo sneered and threw the draft directly on the table.
