A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Ying Shunian's small studio has developed into a technology company, and he has risen from an unknown person to a tech upstart in Beijing.

As for their home, after moving from a cramped and damp basement to a two-bedroom apartment, he and Meng Zhixue bought a large, single-level apartment in the city center with a private river view.

The community boasts high-end property management and a tranquil environment, making it very welcoming to stay-at-home individuals like Meng Zhixue.

You can see the gentle river view as soon as you wake up in the morning.

The community separates pedestrians and vehicles, and is filled with lush trees and beautiful flowers, making it a wonderful place to jog or take a walk.

This house is different from the villa they bought in their first life, but Meng Zhixue likes it even more.

She was waiting too.

Logically speaking, for Chinese people, settling down and getting married seem to be procedural matters that come one after the other; after buying a house, they will consider getting married.

Meng Zhixue had been waiting for Ying Shunian to bring up marriage with her, but she never did.

She couldn't help but wonder.

Time continues to move forward.

The story reaches the point in time when Ying Shunian had an accident while saving her in her first life.

After spending that day in trepidation, Meng Zhixue finally felt relieved once she was certain that Ying Shunian had avoided the "plot kill."

At the same time, the doubts in my mind grew deeper and deeper.

You should know that in their first life, during the first year they were together, Ying Shunian proposed to her.

They've been together for over two years now, and he doesn't seem to have thought about this issue yet.

Does it mean he/she has fallen out of love?

But that doesn't make sense either...

He said he didn't love her, but aside from her period, he was with her almost every night...

My attraction to her is purely physical; it's the kind of attraction that's impossible to resist.

That evening.

While lying in bed, Meng Zhixue couldn't help but ask Ying Shunian this question.

"Honey, we've been together for two years, haven't you thought about getting married?" She asked, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion.

Unexpectedly, Ying Shunian was even more surprised than her, and directly asked, "You're willing to marry me?"

Meng Zhixue: "...?"

Ying Shunian: "...!"

When their eyes met, Ying Shunian was the first to react.

Almost instantly overjoyed, he pulled Meng Zhixue into his arms, kissed her lips hard, and made a decisive decision.

"We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"

"After we get our marriage certificate, we'll start thinking about the wedding..."

"Whatever kind of wedding you want, I'll do whatever you say!"

Meng Zhixue waited until he finished speaking before letting out a stunned "Ah".

This was all somewhat unexpected for her.

She thought Ying Shunian would ask her to marry him and have children early on, just like in their first life, but he didn't.

She thought Ying Shunian had never thought about marrying her and having children, so she curiously tested his thoughts, but he gave her an impatient response.

Something feels off.

However, she did not intend to reject Ying Shunian's suggestion, and nodded and said "okay".

Then she added, "As for the wedding, let's keep everything simple?"

"Or how about we invite your family and friends for a meal, and then we go on a destination wedding?"

She had severed ties with her family of origin in her first life, and there was no way she would invite them to her wedding in this life.

Given Ying Shunian's current status, he could certainly hold a grand celebration.

But she also had no intention of holding a grand wedding and inviting a group of strangers she had barely spoken to to celebrate.

She prefers simple, ordinary happiness to grand and elaborate occasions that would make anyone envious.

Ying Shunian only responded to her suggestion with two words: "Okay."

All that's left is laughter.

"There's one more thing..." Meng Zhixue looked at him with her clean and charming almond-shaped eyes and spoke frankly about having a baby.

"Um..." She first kissed Ying Shunian's chin, giving him a small treat, before stating her needs, "Is it okay if I don't want to have a baby?"

To be honest, I feel a little guilty.

She knew that Ying Shunian's parents were very traditional and valued their descendants highly, so they must really want to have grandchildren.

If Ying Shunian and her choose to remain childless, they will definitely have to bear the pressure from their parents.

She doesn't necessarily want everything to go her way, and she has considered having another child to avoid conflict, but she really doesn't want to...

Perhaps for her, having the memories of her previous three lives, the only lesson in this life can be summed up in three words.

That is "being yourself".

She was willing to marry Ying Shunian because she wanted to be herself.

Not wanting to have children is also a way of being yourself.

She really hoped Ying Shunian would agree.

But if he doesn't agree...

Just as she thought of this, Ying Shunian's clear and pleasant voice rang out, and he said to her earnestly, "Okay."

Meng Zhixue stared at him blankly: "Huh?"

"You really agreed?"
