Xue Li'er thought about it over and over again, not knowing what to do about this matter.
She was locked up in this house by Rashid and could not leave the house. And the maid beside her could not be trusted. Who could buy some contraceptive pills for her?
No! There's no one in this place you can trust.
If she did these things behind Rashid's back, he would probably be unhappy if he knew about it. Then all her previous efforts would be in vain.
After thinking for a while, Xue Lier suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity to test Rashid's feelings for her.
If I tell Rashid that I don't want to be a mother too early, I wonder if Rashid will agree because he likes me.
In the evening, Rashid came to Xuelier's house again.
Xue Li'er specially cooked a Chinese dinner for Rashid.
Although Rashid was not used to the food, Xue Lier's thoughtfulness made him very happy.
"Dear..." Xue Li'er had long ago changed her way of addressing Rashid, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
Rashid stroked Xue Lier's face and said, "My oriental beauty, I am willing to do anything you ask for."
Xue Lier smiled slightly and asked the maids to go away first.
Then she said to Rashid shyly, "I've been married to you for more than a month. But there's one thing I'm a little worried about..."
"What's up?"
"I'm only twenty-one," Xue Li'er said. "It's easy for us to get pregnant if we're together like this... It's not that I don't want to have a child for you. It's just that I'm still young and want to enjoy a few more years of our world together. I don't want anything to disturb us. So... so can you take some contraceptive measures?"
Rashid had just drunk some wine and his eyes were a little blurry.
But after hearing Xue Lier's words, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"It is a wife's duty and obligation to bear children for her husband!" Rashid snapped. "Don't you want to?"
"No, no!" Xue Li'er explained hurriedly, "It's not that I don't want to. I just want to wait a few years. I'm still young... I haven't enjoyed my life enough... I..."
Rashid stared at Xue Li'er coldly as she eagerly explained why she wanted to use contraception.
But from his eyes, Xue Lier understood that he didn't believe it at all.
"Don't try to deceive me," Rashid said after a few seconds of silence. "If you want to truly be my, Rashid's, woman, you must bear my child. Otherwise, you'll be no different from any other woman out there who can be discarded at any time. You won't earn my trust any more!"
After saying this, Rashid left the house with a cold face.
Xue Li'er stared blankly at the Middle Eastern man's receding back and suddenly felt very flustered.
He is so different from the man back home.
Men in the Middle East, especially those in the Muslim community, have a deep-rooted tendency to favor boys over girls.
They will not give up their principles just to pamper a woman.
Xue Lier's methods of dealing with men in her country don't work on Rashid.
Now that he had upset Rashid, what should he do? He wondered how long this old Middle Eastern man would remain angry.
What's worse is that Xue Li'er has no idea how much Rashid cares about this matter.
If Rashid dislikes me because of this, I will really die of old age in this house.
