"Actually, you can think about marriage. Since you love Li Hongming, and Li Hongming is not without feelings for you, he and his wife are about to divorce. You are both single and like each other, so why not get married?" Ye Qingqing suggested.
Dong Siyue's best outcome would actually be to leave Li Hongming and find a man of similar age to spend the rest of her life with. However, this girl is stubborn and only likes older men, so let her be. But she absolutely cannot continue being a mistress; she must obtain a legal status.
"Marriage? I... I can still get married?"
Dong Siyue looked surprised. She had never thought about getting married, but Ye Qingqing's words suddenly made her eager to do so.
Li Hongming and his wife are divorced, so why can't she get married?
This way, she could take care of Li Hongming more openly and legitimately.
“Why not? You can’t be a mistress forever.” Ye Qingqing deliberately said something harsh. Dong Siyue’s expression changed slightly, and she nodded. “Okay, I’ll talk to Hongming about it when I have time.”
She looked at Ye Qingqing gratefully, "Thank you for thinking of me."
Ye Qingqing smiled, "Actually, I would prefer you to leave the old man and marry a young and promising man. That way, he can accompany you for the rest of your life. Li Hongming's days are really numbered. You will still be young by then, and you won't have a good time on your own for the rest of your days."
"I can have a child, and I won't be lonely if I have a child to keep me company."
Dong Siyue suddenly blurted out a sentence, which startled her, but she quickly realized that having a child was a very feasible idea. She was certain that she would not marry another man, so having a child would be a good thing.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Dong Siyue asked, "Qingqing, can I still have more children?"
Ye Qingqing blinked. Having a child was feasible, but—
"Of course you're fine, but what about Li Hongming?"
Li Hongming is 65 years old. If he were in good health, he would definitely be fine, but given the current situation, it might be a bit difficult.
Dong Siyue's expression turned shy, and she whispered, "It'll be fine once he gets better. He was very healthy before he got sick."
In fact, Li Hongming had considered having her have a child before, but Dong Siyue did not agree. She did not want her child to be an illegitimate child, as it would be unfair to the child if the child was not born legally. Li Hongming only brought it up once and never mentioned it again.
"As long as you two are both okay, you can have a child if you want."
Ye Qingqing certainly didn't object. Having a child was a good thing. How long Li Hongming could live depended entirely on his will to live. Perhaps having a child would make him want to live a few more years!
Dong Siyue became happier and happier as she thought about it, her face glowing with joy. She planned to tell Li Hongming about it after he woke up.
Ye Qingqing had originally planned to return to Pingjiang in the afternoon, but after today's commotion, Li Hongming's condition was not good, so she decided to stay another day. There were still two days until New Year's Eve, and she could go back tomorrow.
Li Hongming woke up in the afternoon, and he seemed to be in good spirits. Dong Siyue couldn't wait to tell him about her idea of having a baby. It was just the two of them in the house. Ye Qingqing and Xiaozhu had gone for a walk in the garden, and Secretary Wang was still outside.
That evening, Li Hongming surprisingly got out of bed to eat, and his spirits were unexpectedly high. Ye Qingqing was startled, thinking that Li Hongming was experiencing a sudden burst of energy before death. She was relieved after checking his pulse, and he was full of vitality, completely different from the morning.
What kind of magic pill did they take?
"Dr. Ye, if I exercise every day and maintain a good mood, how much longer can I live?" Li Hongming asked directly, wanting to ascertain how much time he could spend with Dong Siyue and their child.
