Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 323 Let's do it as soon as possible.
"Hey, Lang, I remember you and Bai Ling have been together for a while now, right? How come we've been together all this time but haven't seen any romantic developments? When are we finally going to get to attend your wedding?"

On the way to the warehouse in the suburbs, they somehow ended up talking about why Bai Ling's belly was still not showing any signs of pregnancy.

The smell is indeed quite strong.

Ximen Lang was so tired of being bombarded with questions about his work, studies, and partner by his aunts, uncles, and a bunch of other relatives that he was on tenterhooks.

Then he said cautiously.

"What do you mean by this commotion?"

"You were joking with your Aunt Wang, weren't you? Of course it's a child! What else could she ask? Let me tell you, when I was your age..."

"That kid's old enough to run errands!" *2
Almost simultaneously with Director Wang, they both said, "My child is old enough to run errands," which immediately shut down any further words Director Wang might say.

Seeing that Director Wang had indeed asked about this, Ximen Lang was speechless.

"My dear Aunt Wang, I know you're anxious, but even if you are, you have to let me get married first! We're not even married yet, where am I supposed to find a child for you!"

Originally, Ximen Lang thought this reason was flawless and would surely fool Director Wang.

But little did they expect that the devil would be one step ahead of the saint!
As soon as these words were spoken, Director Wang, whose expertise was exactly in the field, immediately chimed in.

And the response was incredibly fierce and completely unexpected.

Director Wang threw a straight ball directly towards Ximen Lang.

"Who says you have to get married to have children? You can have children without getting married! Has the lack of that little certificate delayed your business? If it has, then your Aunt Wang is here to make a living, and I'll write one for you right now!"

Goodness, it's incredibly fierce.

Not to mention Ximen Lang, even Bai Ling, who was driving, was frightened by Director Wang's words.

He slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop on the side of the road.

She turned around and said coquettishly.

"Aunt Wang, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

Unfortunately, these words were immediately rejected by Director Wang.

"Shut up! You've already been taken advantage of, why don't you hurry up and have a child to tie him down? What if he runs off with someone else and abandons you? You'll have no one to cry to!"

Bai Ling blushed instantly upon hearing Wang's outrageous words, and dared not meet his gaze.

He stubbornly threw out a sentence.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!"

With a turn of her head, Bai Ling immediately became a coward.

Even Bai Ling couldn't withstand Director Wang's sharp gaze, let alone his lewd words, Ximen Lang.
Believe it or not, Ximen Lang, who is naturally thick-skinned, can actually withstand some of the damage thanks to his tough skin.

He was spouting complete nonsense, picking up where Bai Ling left off, and Ximen Lang continued without batting an eye.

"Did you hear that? Even Bai Ling doesn't know what you're talking about! So what about me? You should know very well what kind of person I am! Everyone in the courtyard knows I'm a respectable person, and Bai Ling and I have a purely platonic relationship! You don't even know that?" Seeing that he had already gone this far, Ximen Lang was still spouting nonsense.

Too lazy to say anything more to Ximen Lang, Director Wang directly laid his cards on the table with him.

"It's precisely because I know your character so well that I'm so certain you've already taken advantage of Bai Ling! And the whole courtyard knows you're a respectable man, that your relationship with Bai Ling is purely platonic."

"Do you even believe what you're saying? Do you think your Aunt Wang and all your neighbors are blind? We know you two are a loving couple and just want to be all cuddled, so we've been ignoring you, but you actually believed it!"

"And those people on the street who specifically target people like you, if I hadn't given them a heads-up beforehand, you would have been arrested and reprimanded countless times for being so blatant! You really think you're so good at hiding?!"

They exposed Ximen Lang's true colors, so he no longer dared to play tricks on Director Wang, who was his professional mentor.

Looking up, I saw that Director Wang was still staring at me with extremely sharp eyes.

He glanced at Lao Luo, who had been daydreaming since he realized things were going wrong, and Hao Pingchuan, who had been kicked into the back of the car by Lao Luo before they even set off, and was now sulking in the dilapidated, drafty jeep.

With a sigh, Ximen Lang finally gave up trying to tough it out.

Instead, they made some assurances first.

"Don't worry, Bai Ling, you can rest assured. I, Ximen Lang, can do anything, I can do anything, but I can't be a heartless man, I can't do something like starting something and then abandoning it. If I say I'll marry you, then I mean it, I'll never leave you!"

Then, Ximen Lang picked up where he left off and continued.

"Aunt Wang, my dear aunt, we've only been together for a month. Even if it's fast, it still takes time, right? Have you ever seen a woman get pregnant in just one month? You're being too impatient!"

"Huh? Am I in a hurry?"

Seeing that Ximen Lang had finally made a guarantee, Luo Yonghao, who felt it was time to step in and smooth things over, decisively snapped out of his dazed state and added a comment.

"Director Wang, you are indeed being a bit too hasty. You should wait a little longer. Starting to urge us after only a month is a bit premature."

After speaking with Director Wang, Lao Luo then addressed Bai Ling and Ximen Lang.

"Of course, you two also need to put in some effort. You're already several years behind your peers. If you don't work hard, when will you ever catch up to the average level of your peers?"

Good heavens, one played the bad cop and the other the good cop, completely setting up Ximen Lang and Bai Ling.

Just as Ximen Lang and Bai Ling were being meticulously arranged by Lao Luo and Director Wang, Xia Yiyi also asked the professionals about her doubts.

"I've read all those random novels that say the stronger a person is, the harder it is for them to reproduce. Is there any scientific basis for that? If he keeps getting stronger like this, won't he develop reproductive isolation?"

To be honest, this question really stumped the old professor.

After frowning and pondering for a long time, the old professor finally spoke.

"From a biological perspective, this claim has no scientific basis. Just like modern humans and early Homo sapiens, although there is a time gap of tens of thousands of years, we still do not have reproductive isolation."

"The key issue is that Simon Lang is already showing signs of developing in a non-human direction. None of us know what the future holds! So if possible, don't delay. We should act as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications!"
