Chapter 685

Having not returned to Shangwan Village for more than half a year, the relatives and neighbors were very enthusiastic. The father and son chatted with them until about 10:30 PM before dispersing.

Returning home, Li Heng finished his shower and went to the second floor.

He took a stroll in his own bedroom, and later came to the door of Yu Shuheng's bedroom, reaching out to twist the doorknob.

The door wasn't locked and opened at once.

At this time, Yu Shuheng was wearing blue and white pajamas, leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. Seeing him enter, she moved her position very naturally, leaning closer to the wall.

Closing the door, bolting it, walking to the bed, and getting on the bed in one breath, Li Heng asked: "Teacher, it's almost 11 o'clock, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Yu Shuheng asked meaningfully: "Still calling me Teacher?"

Li Heng happily crossed his hands behind his head and also leaned against the head of the bed, saying: "Still not used to calling your name."

Yu Shuheng said: "If you're not used to it, just call me Sister Yu, or Yu Wife?"

"Look at this multiple-choice question you gave me, do I have a choice." Li Heng rolled his eyes, then called: "Shuheng Wife, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Yu Shuheng was amused by him and smiled, "I'm thinking about something."

Li Heng asked: "Worry?"

Yu Shuheng said "um."

Li Heng turned his head halfway, "What worry, can you tell me?"

Yu Shuheng closed the book: "Tonight, Mom came to me."

Li Heng asked: "Your mother-in-law?"

Yu Shuheng smiled warmly: "It's her."

Li Heng looked at her.

Yu Shuheng told him: "Mom hopes I can have a child soon..."

At that moment, she recounted the conversation on the balcony outside tonight word for word, without any embellishment or deletion in the middle.

She focused on sincerity.

Saying this, she had also thought it over carefully, for two reasons:

One is that her mother-in-law's suggestion made her very moved, she was almost 27, and it was indeed the age to get married and have children.

However, she understood that getting married and having children wasn't something she could do just because she wanted to?

The key was Li Heng.

Therefore, she said it, treating it as an opportunity.

As for whether the opportunity was big or not? She couldn't control it, could only look at fate.

Another is that she had to listen to her mother-in-law's first heart-to-heart talk, couldn't just brush it off.

But she also had a gentleman's agreement with Song Yu, so it wasn't easy to openly violate it, could only hand this choice to Li Heng.

If Li Heng was willing to give her a child, then the gentleman's agreement with Song Yu wouldn't be so important. After all, a mother is honored by her child, she could marry into the Li family in one step.

If Li Heng didn't really want to, then she wouldn't lose anything by saying it, just treat it as giving her mother-in-law an explanation.

Actually, she had also pondered that Tian Run'e using children as an excuse tonight to ask her to control Li Heng might also be a test.

Testing if she had the courage, means, and ability to be the head wife?

Testing if she could manage this family?

Testing if she could block the Zhou family and Zhou Shihe?

If she failed this time, perhaps, this mother-in-law would find someone else, for example, find Song Yu. Or find Zhou Shihe directly.

The probability of finding Song Yu was high, and the possibility of finding Zhou Shihe wasn't small either.

After all, flipping through the female confidantes around him, only they two had that potential.

She knew: Tian Run'e had looked for her in Lushan Village before, but it wasn't said so clearly at that time. And now it was the last chance, she didn't want to miss it without doing anything.

So after weighing it again and again, she confessed directly to Li Heng.

After speaking, the bedroom became silent, becoming so quiet that a needle drop could be heard.

The pressure was on Li Heng's side, and the choice was also in his hands.

On the left were Zijin and Song Yu, on the right was Yu Shuheng, the palm and the back of the hand were both meat, hurting either would make his heart ache, and for a time, it really stumped him.

Seeing him fall into deep thought, Yu Shuheng didn't urge him, reopened the book, and continued reading to calm her heart.

For a long, long time.

Li Heng raised his head and apologized: "The child matter is still too early."

Yu Shuheng's body obviously paused, then her gaze remained on the page.

Li Heng looked at the ceiling and said to himself: "Zijin has been with me since junior high, time passed so fast, in a blink of an eye 8 years passed. Last birthday on Dragon Boat Festival, she didn't come over with Song Yu, do you know why?"

Yu Shuheng didn't make a sound.

Li Heng continued: "You are such a smart person, you should be able to think of why Zijin didn't come to Lushan Village, and also be able to think of why I haven't gone to the Chen family in Beijing?

But the Chen family is the Chen family, Zijin is Zijin, I want to give the first child to her, this is a promise to her, and also Zijin's reliance and guarantee for this life, and also Song Yu's requirement for me. Shuheng, can you understand me?"

Seeing him tell her the words hidden in the deepest part of his heart, Yu Shuheng was moved, her fingers and index finger pinched the page unconsciously, then she said softly: "Little man, you are a person who values emotion and righteousness, this is your most excellent quality.

Although your choice makes me a bit sad, it also makes me feel at ease, no need to worry about being abandoned one day when I'm old and faded. As your woman, I naturally can't make things difficult for you."

Hearing this, Li Heng felt ashamed, reached out gently to hug her, and held her in his arms, "I'm sorry for you, tarnished your nobility and purity, I'm very ashamed. I'm also very moved."

Rarely able to hear such a magnetic voice from him, Yu Shuheng put the book aside, rested her body and head on his shoulder and said, "Little boy, Teacher wants to be your confidante."

What is a confidante?

Naturally, it's someone who is always wise, sensible, and considerate.

In Yu Shuheng's cognition: Li Heng is a conceited, talented person who is smooth on the outside and pretends to be stupid, but is extremely opinionated on the inside, and is also promiscuous.

She knew: such a man looking for a wife doesn't want a "thorn" who argues with him every day, nor a "poisonous woman" with deep schemes, but a confidante who can make him relax, happy, and trust 100%.

Having lived two lives, Li Heng instantly read the deep meaning in this simple sentence, he didn't say anything, didn't promise anything.

He just lowered his head and kissed her, kissing her regardless of anything.

This time, Yu Shuheng's red lips opened and closed, kissing him very cooperatively, without any resistance, she even opened the city gate that had been tightly closed in the past.

Because at this very moment, she could clearly perceive that the man in front of her was different, his attitude toward her was different.

If it was said that the fusion degree of the two before was 80%, but after this heart-to-heart talk, the fit degree of the two soared directly to 90%.

This was an unexpected harvest, making her overjoyed, making her moved.

The two red tongues lingered for a long time, and when they were about to suffocate, the two finally separated. Yu Shuheng covered his face with her hand, rubbed it slowly, and her deep eyes emitted unprecedented light: "Little man, I love you."

These were the words she had always contained in her heart, and at this moment she said them with passion.
