Chapter 11
Shi Ye felt her fingers trembling and thought for a moment: "These drugs are not prohibited in early pregnancy. Besides, when you use them, the fertilized egg may not have implanted yet, so you don't have to worry too much."
Seeing that Jiang Zhinian was still very nervous, he changed his words to a less academic one: "Besides that, you have to believe in the survival of the fittest in nature. If this is an unhealthy child, then the probability of natural reproduction in the first three months is very high."
Jiang Zhi's thoughts sank even lower, and his voice was as small as a mosquito: "If... I want to give birth to the child... and promise not to disturb your life, will you feel troubled?"
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she was afraid to hear Shi Ye's answer.
The world was eerily quiet, with only the sound of falling snowflakes. She heard the wind whistling past her ears, mixed with Shi Ye's reply.
"Would it bother you if others knew I was the father of the child?"
Jiang Zhinian opened his eyes, feeling incredibly confused and helpless.
"No, I won't." She tried hard to control the trembling in her voice.
"Neither can I."
Shi Ye reached out and pinched the small snowflake on her head in his hand.
"Then when you fall in love in the future, if the other person knows that you have a child..."
Shi Ye didn't answer, but asked her: "If it were you, what would you do?"
For some reason, he thought of the suitor who sent her home.
Jiang Zhinian pursed his lips and whispered, "I don't plan to fall in love."
Shi Ye smiled: "Me too."
If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't even have plans to get married.
Jiang Zhinian opened her mouth. She had an idea, but she thought it was ridiculous.
Shi Ye said for her: "If you have thought it through and want to keep this child, why don't we choose the third option."
He took a step closer towards Jiang Zhinian.
"We're getting married."
Together, the two of them give their child a complete family.
Jiang Zhinian felt like she was dreaming. The family she had been longing for seemed to be within reach.
But she didn't dare, fearing that this was really a dream.
"Don't worry, if you feel uncomfortable, we can sign an agreement in advance. After marriage, you don't need to fulfill any wife's obligations, including sexual intercourse. You will still be free."
Jiang Zhinian's ears turned red after hearing this.
The snow was falling heavier. Shi Ye took off his scarf and put it on Jiang Zhinian's head: "Let's go back first."
…
When he returned home again, Jiang Zhinian pinched himself lightly.
It's not a dream, nor is it a fantasy that arises because there is no choice.
Everything is true, Shi Ye said, and he wants to marry her.
Shi Ye brought two cups of hot tea from the kitchen and placed them on the coffee table. Jiang Zhinian took one and held it in his palm. The temperature was just right.
Like the lawyers on TV, he began to talk to her about marriage in a businesslike manner.
"If you are okay with the proposal of marriage, then we can move on to the second step of the discussion."
Jiang Zhinian didn't know what to discuss, so he curled up on the sofa and nodded.
"Is your house rented?"
"right."
"How long until it expires?"
“It expires at the end of the year.”
That's just the right time.
"After the lease expires, I suggest you move into the house I live in now. It's a welfare house allocated to my mother by the hospital. I've lived alone since she passed away. It's not big, just two bedrooms and a living room, but it's very close to your school."
Living together makes it easier for him to take care of her.
Shi Ye pulled out a map from his phone and showed it to Jiang Zhinian.
"After the baby is born, you will have six months of maternity leave. During this time, we can hire an aunt to help you take care of the baby. When you return to work after your maternity leave, my internship will end. I will apply for a leave of absence from my supervisor, and I will take care of the baby for the remaining six months."
Jiang Zhinian's brain was about to explode after listening to his plan.
The child is only as big as a peanut now, but he has already thought about how to take care of him in the first year after birth.
"There's a very good family daycare in the neighborhood that's been operating for many years. I've inquired about it, and they offer daycare for children over one year old, and we can also negotiate the time for the child's drop-off."
He was even considerate enough to ask about the price.
"How come you think of everything..."
Shi Ye took out his cell phone and opened the memo page to show her.
"I looked up some information online and combined it with some parenting tips to make a plan. There may be some problems, but we can correct them in practice."
Jiang Zhinian noticed that the document not only contained a pregnancy diet plan and a prenatal checkup manual, but also a table listing the ingredients of skin care products that are prohibited during pregnancy.
"I've done a rough calculation. My current savings should be enough to support the child until he's two years old. Between two and three years old, you might have to cover the bulk of the child's expenses. But after three, my income will cover the rest of the expenses."
Jiang Zhinian fell into deep thought as he looked at the children's consumption Excel spreadsheet on his phone.
Is it really so expensive to raise a child?
"Look, do you have any questions?"
Jiang Zhinian, who was unable to get a word in the entire process, shook his head silently.
"Okay, if you agree to our agreement, then I have an additional agreement. Of course, you can choose not to agree."
Jiang Zhinian was now like a child queuing up to get a lollipop as a reward. It was almost her turn, and she was afraid of what the aunt who was handing out the lollipops would say about her bad luck.
"That was the last one, there are no more."
She has experienced too much of the feeling of waiting for something for a long time but being disappointed since she was a child.
So much so that she is afraid of others giving her hope.
With a little nervous trembling: "You say."
"In order to maintain the stability of this marriage and give our children a complete family, I hope we can maintain an exclusive relationship. In other words, during the continuation of the marriage, we should not have any emotional relationship with a third party."
Emotional relationships can easily undermine family stability and cause harm to children.
He paused and explained, "As expected, if you need to maintain a purely physical relationship with someone, I can accept that, but don't let the child..."
"No, no, I won't cheat."
She has a devout feeling towards her family that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Shi Ye paused and nodded: "Don't worry, this additional agreement is valid for both you and me, and I will also bind myself according to the terms of the agreement."
Simply put, he will also abide by the rules of family loyalty.
This topic made Jiang Zhinian a little embarrassed. She looked hesitant and changed the subject: "Can you send me a copy of those forms?"
She also wants to make up for the lessons.
"Okay." Shi Ye operated a few times on his phone, and Jiang Zhinian's phone instantly received more than 20 messages.
Jiang Zhinian took a quick look and discovered that there were even documents reviewing baby diapers.
He is indeed a top student.
"Look, if there's no problem, let's start with the first step. Do you have any objections?"
