Tang Li stared blankly at the date the old lady was pointing to, then looked at the year, and confirmed that it was right. Wasn't this three days from now?
Isn't this too hasty?
Besides, she hasn't even thought about getting married yet, so getting the marriage certificate so soon seems inappropriate.
Even if you get married, you still need to date for a while.
Moreover, many relationships don't last, and there are countless couples who end up together without a clear reason.
Perhaps Lu Jianshen just wants to have a relationship with her and doesn't plan to get married?
Tang Li smiled awkwardly, somewhat unnaturally glossing over the topic, unsure how to continue.
The two stayed in the old house for a while, and when they saw that it was almost time, they prepared to leave.
Before leaving, the old lady held Tang Li's hand and said, "Don't worry, Li Li, I'm in good health. I'll definitely be able to hold on until the day you have your baby!"
Waiting until the day they give birth...
Tang Li was a little shy, and gave the old lady a few more instructions, telling her to take good care of herself before she left with peace of mind.
The roads were bustling with traffic at night, with cars coming and going in a constant stream.
Halfway through the journey, Lu Jianshen suddenly asked her, "What do you think of that day?"
Tang Li gently covered her lips and yawned, not reacting for a moment.
What day is it?
Lu Jianshen said very seriously, "The old lady chose an auspicious day."
Did the old lady choose an auspicious day?
They went to get their marriage certificate three days later?
Are you really planning to marry me?
Tang Li was feeling very uneasy. Just now, she had a vague feeling that she had fallen in love with Lu Jianshen.
Being with the person you love and spending your life together is certainly a happy thing, but can the two of them really last?
Women who have been divorced once are afraid when they see happiness within reach.
"Of course, I was dating you with marriage in mind."
Some people even wanted to skip the dating step and go straight to getting a license, but they were afraid that Tang Li wouldn't be able to handle the fast pace.
They can also fall in love slowly and eventually spend their lives together.
"I……"
Tang Li hesitated, not daring to speak.
She and Lu Jianshen belong to two completely different worlds. Can they really stay together for a long time?
When Lu Jianshen saw that she didn't respond, he understood. It seemed that Tang Li wasn't ready yet, and he would have to keep trying.
"You don't need to feel pressured. We can take it slow, Lili. I'm willing to wait for you."
She would be his bride sooner or later, Lu Jianshen was more confident than Tang Li.
Tang Li turned to look at the man's sharply defined profile. "Lu Jianshen, thank you."
However, Lu Jianshen did not intend to let Tang Li get away with it so easily.
He pressed further, "Miss Tang, could you give me a rough estimate? Based on the current progress, how much longer would it take me to propose?"
Tang Li was stunned. How long it takes from dating to marriage is not something she can decide on her own.
Tang Li could only purse her lips and honestly reply, "I don't know."
Lu Jianshen's dark eyes were deep. "What if the baby comes early? We haven't been using any protective measures lately."
Tang Li slowly turned her head, blushing with embarrassment.
How could this shameless man so calmly discuss this topic with her, looking completely at ease?
However, this is indeed a problem.
Sometimes, they can't help themselves and forget.
Lu Jianshen also had his own selfish reasons. He was not young anymore and wanted to have a child with Tang Li.
If they had a child, their relationship would be more stable, and they wouldn't have to worry about Tang Li running off with another man. Although this method was a bit despicable, using a child to keep a woman tied down.
Tang Li blushed and whispered, "I took my medicine."
Lu Jianshen gripped the steering wheel with his right hand, his veins bulging on the back of his hand, and the faint smile on his face froze for a moment.
He desperately wanted a child, but he would never allow Tang Li to sacrifice her body.
"Don't take medicine next time, it's too harmful to your body. Just remind me to take precautions, don't ruin your health."
For some reason, Tang Li felt that Lu Jianshen was not happy when he said this, and his tone was even a bit heavy, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Tang Li blushed and nodded.
Every time things got intense, Lu Jianshen would be both urgent and forceful, leaving her no time to react. And almost every time, she would be completely absorbed and disoriented.
Looking back now, that was indeed not very safe.
Tang Li tried to appear calm, but her heart was pounding and her face flushed red.
Lu Jianshen felt a tightness in his chest. Did her secretly taking medicine mean that she didn't want to have a child with him at all?
Does Tang Li not have any other feelings for him at all?
That night, for the first time, Lu Jianshen let Tang Li go, even though they shared a bed.
He only went back to the bedroom in the early morning, took a shower, and lay down properly next to Tang Li.
Tang Li also had some insomnia. Lu Jianshen's aura was off tonight, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, nor did she know where to begin asking.
He seemed a bit down.
In the quiet of the night, Tang Li took the initiative to ask, "Are you... alright?"
"nothing."
Tang Li pursed her lips. "It's good that you're alright."
She turned over, about to fall asleep, when Lu Jianshen suddenly grabbed her from behind, pulling her into a tight embrace.
"Go to sleep," the man whispered, kissing Tang Li's cheek.
Tang Li can't escape. Even if she's not interested now, she'll fall for him one day!
