Chapter 489 Highly Consistent Response
Two years later.
Ji Linshen's office.
Sunlight streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Lu Shiman was curled up on the sofa, flipping through a beautifully bound document in his hand.
Chu Qi stood beside him, scratching the back of his head unconsciously, scratching his face, his eyes wandering, looking restless.
"Um...Sister Man." Chu Qi cleared his throat and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "This company was acquired by the young master two or three years ago."
He carefully observed Lu Shiman's expression.
"So what?" Lu Shiman threw the information on the coffee table next to him without even raising his eyelids.
"So that's it..." Chu Qi swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth, and spoke quickly: "From the beginning, the young master never thought of making you pregnant."
He immediately shut his mouth as if awaiting trial.
Lu Shiman sat up straight, crossed his arms, narrowed his eyes, and spoke a series of idioms accurately: "You are in cahoots with each other, you are accomplices to the tiger, you are in cahoots with each other, you are in cahoots with each other..."
Chu Qi applauded: "Well done, Sister Man, this idiom is well used. It's precise and profound."
Lu Shiman rolled her eyes and changed the subject instantly: "Chu Qi, do you know why you are single?"
Chu Qi was puzzled: "Because... I'm too handsome, ordinary people are not worthy of me?"
Lu Shiman shook his head: "No, no, no, because you are too cheap. A cheap person can't find a partner."
Chu Qi was heartbroken and didn't want to stay any longer: "Sister Man, I'm busy. I'll go out first."
Lu Shiman waved his hand to signal him to go.
As soon as Chu Qi stepped out of the office, Ji Linshen came back.
Lu Shiman heard familiar footsteps and turned to look at him.
Two years have not left too many traces on his face. Instead, his sharp temperament has settled down, and his eyes and brows are as gentle as Lu Yannan's.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Ji Linshen walked up to her and stood still, reaching out to pinch her face: "Didn't you eat enough last night?"
Lu Shiman slapped his hand away and pointed at the documents on the table: "Ji Linshen, what do you mean?"
His tone was questioning, his eyes full of grievance.
Ji Linshen's gaze fell on the information of the artificial uterus research company.
He did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked to the sofa, sat down very naturally, stretched out his arms, and took her into his arms.
His chin gently rubbed the top of her head, and his voice came through the vibration of his chest: "Pregnancy..."
Ji Linshen paused, his tone full of unquestionable seriousness: "The damage to women is permanent, and no matter how good the medical treatment is, it cannot be completely reversed."
He tightened his arms a little: "Manman, I don't want you to get hurt in any way, not even a little bit."
He loosened his arms a little, looked down at her, his eyes focused as if filled with stars: "So, before we got married, I acquired this company."
Ji Linshen picked up the document and tapped the cover with his fingertips: "If you want a child, we can approve it."
"The responsibility and risk of nurturing life should not be borne by you alone."
"I don't want to, and I can't bear to see you suffer that."
Lu Shiman leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat and clear words, and the hidden grievance in her heart dissipated.
"But...can a baby born from an artificial womb be normal?"
Ji Linshen lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, his voice soothing: "The technology is mature. In the past two years, there have been hundreds of successful cases around the world, and all of them are very healthy."
"What's more, if it's our baby..." His lips curved into a confident arc: "I promise that I will use the best resources and the most meticulous care. It will definitely be the healthiest and cutest baby in the world."
He hugged her tightly again and said, "Wife, you are always the most important person to me. Your health is above everything else."
Lu Shiman buried her head in his chest, nodded vigorously, and a muffled voice came: "Well... But I don't want to be a mother yet."
Ji Linshen chuckled: "It doesn't matter, you can ask for it whenever you want, I'll listen to you."
"As long as it's our baby, no matter when it comes, I'm fully prepared."
His promise was resounding.
Lu Shiman raised her head, leaned forward, and kissed him loudly on the lips: "I thought you didn't want to have a child with me..."
Before she could finish her words, Ji Linshen lowered his head and kissed her back.
After a long time, he finally let go, resting his forehead against hers, his voice filled with a hint of hoarseness and doting: "Silly words."
In the evening, at Lu Family Villa Restaurant.
The long table was filled with exquisite dishes.
The whole family gathered together.
Lu Shiman ate the rice in the bowl: "Ji Linshen secretly acquired a foreign artificial uterus company. He said that this is how our future babies will come."
After she finished speaking, she thought that according to convention, there would always be a brother who would jump out and express a different opinion, such as questioning the safety or thinking it was too advanced.
After all, being a contrarian is a traditional skill in their family.
However.
The air was quiet for a moment.
No one objected, no one sang a different tune.
Lu Yannan put down his chopsticks, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth with an elegant movement.
He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Linshen calmly: "Is the technology mature?"
Ji Linshen was concentrating on picking out fish bones and didn't even raise his head when he heard this.
He placed the deboned, snow-white fish meat steadily into Lu Shiman's bowl. He then replied, "It's mature. There have been many successful cases in the past two years."
He paused and added, "And Manman said she doesn't plan to have children now. In two years, the technology will be more mature and stable."
Lu Chixu chewed the food in his mouth and spoke directly after hearing this, his tone straightforward: "I have no objection. Anyway, as long as she is not hurt, any way is fine."
Lu Jianheng cut the steak slowly and methodically, without even raising his eyelids, and replied lazily: "Well, there's no need for Man Mansheng anyway."
He forked up a piece of beef, put it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then added casually, as if he had thought of something: "Very good! I can order a few more next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yannan, who was sitting in the main seat, frowned immediately.
He rejected it almost reflexively: "No."
Lu Yannan put down his napkin and glanced at Lu Jianheng sharply: "Don't talk too much, it's noisy."
The tone was filled with the deep shadow of someone who had experienced the hellish mode of raising a child.
Lu Qijun, who had been eating quietly beside him, looked up and added accurately: "Big brother is afraid of taking care of the baby."
After all, it's one to four.
Oh, no, add Xie Yi and Qin Jiaojiao.
One to six.
Ji Linshen spoke at the right time, his voice gentle and his position clear: "Everything is up to Manman, she has the final say."
Lu Shiman looked at the rare unanimous reaction in front of him and was a little confused: "Oh, then... we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Lu Yannan turned his gaze to Lu Shiman: "Go to Mo Ning's place at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Don't be late, don't run away, and don't force me to catch you myself."
Lu Shiman said in a serious tone, "I know, don't worry, big brother. I promise to be there on time."
Lu Yannan nodded in satisfaction: "Well, we'll all go tomorrow. Mo Ning has just received a new device that can perform 'co-brain' hypnosis guidance."
He glanced at his brothers, "Perhaps, it will be helpful to everyone."
