A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"I'm scared."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xixue suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Lu Yang was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever heard Li Xixue say she was afraid since he met her.

This woman is a formidable force in the business world, having crushed countless entrepreneurs without them even batting an eye.

Now you're saying you're afraid?

Afraid of becoming a mother?

"What are you afraid of?" Lu Yang asked.

Li Xixue didn't look at him.

She buried her face in the cushion, her voice muffled.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to be a mother."

Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, then countered with, "Who is born knowing how to be a mother?"

"But I can't even manage myself."

"You've managed a listed company well."

"That's different."

Li Xixue's voice grew even more muffled: "The company can cut its losses if it makes a wrong decision, but what if the child... makes a mistake?"

Lu Yang didn't say anything.

indeed.

Once a child is born, it's born; you can't just put it back in your belly.

However, this was the first time he had seen Li Xixue like this.

It wasn't a drunken tantrum, nor was it a feigned indifference.

Instead, it means you're seriously thinking about something, and then you realize you don't have the answer.

This woman, who fears nothing, is now troubled by having children.

You're overthinking it.

"I don't."

"You have."

"I don't."

Li Xixue peeked out from behind the cushion, looking at him with a determined gaze.

Lu Yang sighed, deciding not to argue with her anymore, and reached out to brush a stray strand of hair from her forehead.

"I'll stop thinking about it now, since the results aren't out yet anyway."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement and then buried her face back down.

The two of them spent the whole morning on the sofa.

Li Xixue remained hugging the pillow, her face buried in it, motionless.

Lu Yang thought she was asleep.

She touched her belly and suddenly spoke.

I'm hungry.

Lu Yang turned and glanced at her.

"The porridge your mom brought is still on the table."

"I don't want to drink porridge."

What would you like to eat?

Li Xixue peeked half her face out from behind the cushion and thought for a while.

"I want to eat what you make."

Why?

"Isn't that possible?"

"All right."

Lu Yang stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

For some reason, he felt that the other person was becoming increasingly pretentious.

He opened the refrigerator, rummaged around, and found eggs, tomatoes, and a handful of noodles. The seasonings were all there; he had bought them before, but they hadn't been touched much.

Okay, tomato and egg noodles.

A series of crackling sounds came from the kitchen.

Before long, a steaming bowl of tomato and egg noodles was ready.

"this one?"

Li Xixue frowned.

"Whatever you said."

Lu Yang stated.

Li Xixue stared at the bowl for two seconds, then said nothing more.

She put the cushion aside and reached for the chopsticks.

He picked up a mouthful of noodles, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

After finishing her noodles, Li Xixue washed her face in the bathroom.

She tied her hair back up, changed into a black turtleneck sweater, and paired it with suit pants. She looked much better than before.

The standard outfit for President Li when he goes online.

Ok.

The usually aloof CEO has come online.

After coming out, she glanced at the time with a cool gaze.

"I have to go back to the company."

Lu Yang was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone when he looked up at her.

"Are you even fit to work in this condition?"

"I've wasted half the day. There's a quarterly report this afternoon, and without me, no one else can make the decisions."

Li Xixue picked up her bag, then put it down again. After thinking for a moment, she picked up another one.

Lu Yang didn't stop her.

Once this woman gets into work mode, nothing anyone says will work.

"You should come too."

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

"What am I supposed to do there?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue thought for a moment.

Yes.

What is he going to do?

Perhaps it's because I'm used to it.

Every time I go out, I subconsciously think about taking Lu Yang with me.

Li Xixue picked up her bag and walked towards the door.

Lu Yang stood by without moving, watching her change her shoes.

When Li Xixue bent over, her hair slipped down from behind her ears. She casually tucked it behind her ear and slipped her feet into her high heels.

Lu Yang frowned.

"Wait a moment."

Li Xixue rested her hand on the shoe cabinet and looked back at him.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yang's gaze fell on the pair of black stiletto heels with red soles on her feet.

It's at least eight centimeters long.

"Change to a different pair."

Li Xixue didn't understand what he meant: "Change what?"

"Change to flat shoes."

Li Xixue stopped by the shoe cabinet, straightened up, and looked at Lu Yang.

I always wear these to work.

"Then stop wearing it from now on."

Lu Yang stood up from the sofa and walked over to her.

"Do you even know how many times you twisted your ankle last night while wearing those shoes? What if you twist it again at work?"

Li Xixue opened her mouth, as if to say something.

Lu Yang added, "Besides, you're already a wife, why are you still wearing high heels?"

Li Xixue was taken aback by these words.

"What do you mean that a married woman can't wear high heels? Where is this rule from?"

"I made the order."

Li Xixue stared at him for two seconds.

Lu Yang's expression was very serious.

I'm not kidding.

And it came with orders.

Li Xixue moved her lips, as if she wanted to refute.

But for some reason, the words stuck in my throat.

It's probably because I sprained my ankle more than once last night.

It could also be because the soles of my feet are still a bit sore.

It could be for other reasons.

Anyway, she didn't say it.

"and."

Lu Yang spoke again.

"What if it really is?"

These six words hit her hard, and Li Xixue's face immediately flushed.

She lowered her head and stopped looking at Lu Yang.

I ran my fingers along the edge of the shoe cabinet twice.

On the second-to-last shelf in the shoe cabinet, there was a pair of flat shoes.

I bought these clothes to wear at home before, and I've hardly ever worn them outside.

Li Xixue stared at the shoes for a few seconds.

Then, for some reason, she obediently squatted down and took off her high heels.

She changed into another pair of flat shoes.

He didn't speak throughout the entire process.

Lu Yang didn't say anything either.

She glanced up at Lu Yang, then quickly looked away.

Lu Yang couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Xixue coldly retorted.

"It's nothing."

Lu Yang suppressed his laughter. "I just think you look better when you dress like a good girl."

To be honest, Li Xixue in high heels exudes a sense of oppression, making people look up to her.

Now she's more like a gentle and virtuous wife.

"Who, who's the good girl?"

Li Xixue's cold face also cooled down.

After changing her shoes, she opened the door.

I'll pick you up after get off work tonight.

Lu Yang's voice came from behind.

Li Xixue's hand stopped on the doorknob.

She didn't turn around.

"roll."

After saying that, she pulled the door shut and left.

The door closed with just the right amount of force.
