Chapter 8: Giving Birth to a Granddaughter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Yun looked at Ning Xiang expectantly.

Qiao Yun especially fancied little girls. She felt envious looking at adorable little granddaughters running around and calling grandma.

Although her grandsons were also outstanding, they were not girls.

Now, the entire family’s hopes were pinned on Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang paused and pinched Fu Ze without batting an eyelid.

Fu Ze had been careless. He had forgotten about the child when they had agreed previously.

Fu Ze grabbed Ning Xiang’s hand and looked at her calmly. “I respect Ning Xiang’s opinions.”

Hence, everyone’s gazes gathered on Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang’s mind raced.

After all, the two of them were in a contract marriage. Fu Ze probably didn’t want to have a child, but she didn’t care. The Fu family was so good. If they really had a child, they wouldn’t be despised like her and would be taken good care of.

Since Fu Ze posed the question, he probably trusted her.

In that case, she would agree first so that everyone could drop the subject. Whether she would give birth or not would be discussed in private.

Facing everyone’s burning gazes, Ning Xiang lowered her head slightly and pretended to be a little shy. She held Fu Ze’s hand and said, “We will work hard.”

Qiao Yun’s eyes lit up. “Then when do you plan on having children? Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it after it’s born. You can just sit back and relax.”

Fu Ze interlocked his fingers with hers and looked at his family. “Within a year.”

“Hahaha! Good. I’ve always known he was an action-driven man.”

“If Xiangxiang really gives birth to a daughter, she will be a real hero in the family! Don’t be afraid. We will definitely arrange the best medical staff for you!”

“Xiangxiang and Ze are a perfect match. I’m sure their kids will be adorable!”

Everyone laughed and bantered. Ning Xiang looked up at Fu Ze in surprise.

Why didn’t he object?

Before they got married, they agreed they were just using each other. When they met someone they liked, they would immediately separate. If they had children, it would be a huge obstacle for them.

She did not know if Fu Ze really wanted to have children or if he was pretending. Perhaps he was preparing to separate from her within a year.

If they really divorced and she wasn’t the Fu family’s daughter-in-law, her promise to bear children would be deemed null and void.

The man was as handsome as ever, but there was a hint of warmth in his eyes that was not usually there.

As if he failed to notice Ning Xiang’s emotions, he picked up a piece of fish and carefully picked out the bones before placing them on her plate.

“This fish is very nutritious,” he said meaningfully. “Wife.”

This meal was very enjoyable. After eating, everyone went back to their business. On the way home, Ning Xiang received a call. It was her best friend, Liu Bai.

Liu Bai’s loud voice was very anxious. “Xiangxiang, are you really married to Fu Ze? No way right, my dear? Don’t you know his reputation in the capital? He’s bad and cold. Didn’t you say that you wanted a doting partner? Why did you end up being with him?”

Ning Xiang said a little guiltily, “Well, he’s quite good-looking. Moreover, after interacting with him, he’s not bad.”

“We agreed to be single together, right? In the end, you even got married behind my back. As punishment, you’re treating me to hotpot!”

Ning Xiang smiled. “Alright, alright. The usual place then?”

“I just knew you would suggest the place. I’m already waiting here. Come quickly.” After saying that, Liu Bai hurriedly hung up.

Ning Xiang looked at her phone helplessly. Liu Bai was always impatient and anxious, but no matter what, she prioritized Ning Xiang and cared about her.

People came and went in the hotpot restaurant. After Ning Xiang entered, everyone secretly sized her up.

Those reporters were efficient enough. The matter of her slapping the reporters in the morning had already become a trending topic on Weibo and had taken the city by storm.

Now, everyone knew that the cold man had married a wife who was not to be trifled with.

Ning Xiang found Liu Bai and sat beside her. Liu Bai looked her up and down and said a little sadly, “Sigh! I worked hard protecting my little lamb, but it was taken away by a big bad wolf.”

Ning Xiang smiled and patted her lightly. Before she could speak, an ambiguous voice interrupted her. “I was just wondering why I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Now it makes sense. The big star is here.”

Ning Xiang and Liu Bai looked in the direction of the voice.

Lu Le and Ning Lian had arrived at some point. Lu Le looked at Ning Xiang maliciously. “Xiangxiang is now famous and no one can compare to you. Even though you’re clearly just a country bumpkin, you had the courage to make Young Master Fu drink. You forcefully pulled him into bed and compelled him to marry you. I have to say you’re a very cunning woman.”

A vicious look flashed briefly in Ning Lian’s eyes before she looked at Ning Xiang indignantly and said, “I know you’ve never liked me very much. Dad and Mom don’t like you and chose to adopt me, but is it my fault? This isn’t something I wanted to choose. Even if you want to take revenge, you shouldn’t have done this.”

She started crying.
