Bai Mei secretly planned to have a child with Jones.
Now she sees Jones telling others, right in front of her, that she doesn't want to have children anymore.
She genuinely couldn't accept it.
In her view, only by having a child with Jones could she rightfully inherit Jones's old castle estate in England.
It's worth noting that this castle has been passed down through generations of the Jones family, and Jones' son currently lives there.
However, this son was the result of Jones's one-night stand in his youth, making him an illegitimate child. He grew up with the steward and incidentally took over the management of the castle estate.
Bai Mei knew very well that the future value of this ancient castle would be astronomical.
If she can give birth to a child, she can rightfully inherit the Jones family business.
This manor alone is as big as a village, and the land and produce within it are incredibly valuable.
However, the estate was actually managed by Jones's son and the butler, and Jones himself did not seem to regard it as his private property.
However, Bai Mei, who had just gotten married, didn't think so.
In her mind, since she had become Jones's only wife, she naturally had the right to share all of Jones's wealth.
Upon hearing Jones's idea, Lin Chengyu chuckled and immediately suggested, "If you don't want to have any more children, you can have a sterilization procedure. Otherwise, even if you're careful, it's easy for a newlywed couple to get shot!"
He was actually guessing that Bai Mei wanted to have another child to completely trap Jones.
After all, Jones is a very respected figure in the art world. He is a highly sought-after professor at any university and a popular oil painter.
He didn't say these little thoughts out loud, but Song Ziqing guessed them.
Jones, however, did not understand. Instead, he was very supportive of Lin Chengyu's suggestion. He was now really regretting his impulsive marriage. If his wife got pregnant again, he was worried that the child might not be his, and he was also worried that his wife would ask him to go back to the English manor with her.
He simply couldn't accept being trapped in one place, living the same repetitive life year after year.
Bai Mei was startled when Lin Chengyu mentioned the words "sterilization surgery".
She didn't want her husband to have a sterilization operation; she was still thinking about having Jones's child!
She quickly said, "Sterilization? That's too cruel! Besides, I want to have a child."
Jones glanced at her, feeling somewhat helpless.
He didn't have much affection for Bai Mei; he only married her on a whim.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take precautions tonight."
After saying that, he decided to go to the hospital the next day to inquire about the sterilization procedure.
"Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it."
Lin Chengyu smiled and thought to himself: Just as I expected.
Song Ziqing watched all this silently, inwardly sighing: The relationships between these people are really complicated!
Bai Mei's gaze towards Song Ziqing was filled with jealousy and malice. It was because of their meddling that Jones learned about the existence of sterilization surgery.
Now all she can do is try to dissuade him from this idea. At least she should give birth to a son before she has to undergo sterilization!
Okay, here's the content with more rhetorical devices added:
Bai Mei's eyes darted around, and a brilliant idea came to mind.
She said to her husband in a deliberately gentle tone, "Honey, I don't think we need to rush into making a decision."
Jones hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded, deciding to go home and think about it for the night.
He really didn't want to make such a hasty decision.
That night, Bai Mei tried everything she could to please Jones, hoping to make him forget about the sterilization.
However, Jones was already determined, and no matter how earnestly Bai Mei tried to persuade him, she could not shake his resolve.
The following day, Jones went to the hospital alone to inquire about sterilization surgery.
The doctor explained the entire surgical procedure and potential risks to him in detail.
When he learned that men might experience epididymal congestion after undergoing sterilization surgery, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Bai Mei followed him to the hospital like a ghost. She even secretly urged the doctor to emphasize that both men and women may experience significant aftereffects after sterilization surgery.
It is particularly important to emphasize to Jones that the side effects of sterilization surgery are more severe for women than for men.
Bai Mei was worried that Jones herself wouldn't dare to have the sterilization surgery, but wanted her to suffer the pain instead.
In fact, she was judging Jones's character based on her own narrow-mindedness.
Although Jones was somewhat promiscuous in his relationships with women, his character was not bad.
For the next month or two, Jones continued to teach at Hong Kong University while also studying traditional Chinese painting with Song Ziqing. Compared to landscape painting, he was more talented in flower-and-bird painting.
After all, he started learning sketching from a young age, so he has a certain foundation in learning traditional Chinese flower and bird painting.
However, in the past, sketching was done with pencils or similar hard-tipped pens.
However, traditional Chinese painting uses a soft brush, which has always been Jones's weakness. He has spent several months trying, but he still is not used to painting with a brush.
Holding the soft pen in his hand, he always felt as if it had its own thoughts and didn't obey his commands.
For the past month or two, Jones has disliked going home and instead went directly to Song Ziqing's house, where he has been staying in the guest room every day.
He knew that the Song family didn't really welcome Bai Mei and never invited her to their home, which made him feel much freer staying at the Song family's house.
He's really afraid to go home now. A while ago, whenever he got home, Bai Mei would do nothing but drag him to bed. This woman has gone crazy trying to have a child for him.
He himself did not want to have children, but he would not force Bai Mei to undergo sterilization. In his view, his marriage with Bai Mei was a mistake, and it was only a matter of time before they separated.
At that time, he simply didn't want to be entangled with her forever because of a child.
Based on the few months he'd spent with Bai Mei, he realized this woman was incredibly clingy. Although he was somewhat infatuated with her body, after several months together, his infatuation was fading.
At this time, he had no idea that Bai Mei was pregnant. Once a woman becomes pregnant, her hormones change, and her attractiveness to men decreases.
That day, Jones was painting at Song Ziqing's house as usual.
Bai Mei suddenly showed up at the door; her belly was already slightly protruding.
"Jones, I'm pregnant," Bai Mei said happily.
Jones was stunned; he had never expected this to happen.
