Chapter 450: Each Harboring Their Own Thoughts

"Old Chen, what exactly is the background of this godfather of Qi Tongwei's? How could even Liang give in?"

"I don't know."

Chen Yanshi was still in shock; Liang Qunfeng was a full grade higher than him, and if even a man like that had to step back, what right did he have to make things difficult for Qi Tongwei back then?

"Sigh, I hope he and Yangyang can reconcile as before."

At this moment, the elderly couple Chen Yanshi and his wife still did not know that their daughter had already been married for over two years.

Liang Lu was feeling stifled at home all day, and with nothing to do, she thought about adopting a child; for once, she even went into the kitchen.

"Liangping, shall we adopt a child? I'm getting older, and there's a high risk in giving birth, plus I don't want to ruin my figure."

Upon hearing this, Hou Liangping felt as if he had been struck by lightning; hadn't all his hard work day and night been for the sake of having a child sooner?

But now Liang Lu was actually saying she didn't want children, so what did his efforts count for? Besides, how could a man not want his own children and go to adopt instead?

No wonder Liang Lu had actually cooked in person today; it turned out it was because of this.

"Teacher Liang, you are only thirty-five, and you look like you're in your twenties; if you exercise more after giving birth, it won't affect your figure."

Hou Liangping still called her Teacher Liang at home; firstly, to show respect, and secondly, it was a little intimacy between the two.

"Hou Liangping, I am not discussing this with you, I am informing you. I cannot risk my life to give birth."

"You should respect me, and even more so, cherish me, instead of kidnapping me for the sake of a child. If an accident happens during pregnancy and the doctor asks you to choose between saving the mother or the child, my life would be entirely in your hands then."

Hou Liangping's face turned ashen; he hadn't married Liang Lu out of his own desire to begin with, but now Liang Lu wouldn't even bear him a child, and yet he couldn't lash out.

"Teacher Liang..."

"Enough, that's how it's decided." Hou Liangping was interrupted directly before he could say anything more.

"I happen to be on break during this time, so I'll make an excuse to go away, and when I return, we'll just say it's our own child."

After Liang Lu finished speaking, she turned and went into the inner room, leaving behind a Hou Liangping whose expression was dark and uncertain.

Hou Liangping felt stifled; he downed a glass of wine and slammed the door as he left. This was the first time he had ever given Liang Lu a cold shoulder.

Hou Liangping walked aimlessly after leaving the residential complex; he felt a bit lost, thinking perhaps he should have indignantly rejected Liang Lu just like Qi Tongwei, but he had sacrificed his dignity for the sake of his future.

"Handsome, heartbroken? Come in and let big sister chat with you to relieve your boredom."

Hou Liangping had unknowingly walked to the entrance of a hair salon, where a stylish big sister with wavy hair was waving at him, and Hou Liangping walked over as if possessed.

"Yo, a handsome little brother. Come, follow big sister to the inner room to chat."

The woman with wavy hair took Hou Liangping's arm directly, pulled down the rolling shutter without a word, and then dragged him into the inner room.

In truth, Hou Liangping had been drinking on an empty stomach and had been blown by the wind the whole way, leaving him a bit muddled; combined with Liang Lu's long-term psychological suppression, that was why he followed her into the inner room.

The woman with wavy hair was experienced; once inside the inner room, she began to fuss over Hou Liangping. Emboldened by the alcohol, Hou Liangping's courage grew, and the two of them soon lay down by mutual consent.

The inner room soon echoed with cat-like sounds that were maddeningly itchy; Hou Liangping had been drinking plenty of Tiger Bone Wine over the past two years, and being young and vigorous, he gave the woman with wavy hair a solid fill.

Soon both fell into a deep sleep, and when Hou Liangping woke up the next morning, he was somewhat stunned; had he committed prostitution last night?

"Is the handsome little brother awake?"

Hou Liangping was startled again, only then realizing that a beautiful woman was still curled up in his arms, and he hurriedly scrambled to put on his clothes.

"I, how did I get here?" Hou Liangping stammered.

"Handsome, this doesn't look like you from last night, full of brute force; why are you shy now?"

The woman with wavy hair displayed her figure generously, putting her clothes on one by one right in front of Hou Liangping.

"I, I, you, you..."

Hou Liangping had never dated before, and being with Liang Lu was forced; although Liang Lu was also beautiful, she was of a certain age after all, and didn't have the flavor of this girl in her early twenties.

"Big sister is very satisfied with your performance last night, so I won't charge you, but don't do this next time."

Hou Liangping ran out of the hair salon in a panic, and even looked back at the corner, as if to memorize the place.

On the way, Hou Liangping called Chen Hai to collude on the details of last night before he felt relieved enough to go home.

Fortunately, Liang Lu hadn't woken up yet; Hou Liangping hurriedly dived into the bathroom to wash himself thoroughly from head to toe, and washed his clothes as well.

"Teacher Liang, I was wrong. It was my own assumption; I thought about it all night, and I'll listen to you."

"Really?"

"Mm."

When men and women do something wrong, they usually feel guilty and often try to make up for their mistakes by fulfilling a wish for the other person.

"Liangping, I knew you would come around."

Then Hou Liangping was forced to do morning exercises again; Liang Lu's face gradually turned into that of the woman with wavy hair from the salon, and Hou Liangping gradually went wild.

"Liangping, why are you so energetic today?"

"As long as Teacher Liang is satisfied, that's all that matters."

That was what Hou Liangping said, but in his heart, he was entirely reminiscing about the woman with wavy hair from last night.

"Mm, I'll be going back to my hometown to 'nurture the fetus' for a while; you must come to see me at least once every half month."

"Okay, and the child..."

"Rest assured, I will arrange the child, and it will have the same blood type as you."

"Okay."

Hou Liangping was also relieved; he had been worried that Liang Lu would cheat on him, but since she was taking the initiative to have him visit, it seemed she really didn't want children, rather than not wanting to have them with him.

Moreover, Liang Lu would be gone for at least a year, so wouldn't his time be more abundant? Then... maybe he could go find the woman with wavy hair again?

Although he was muddled last night, his consciousness was clear; the woman with wavy hair might have wanted money, but her skills in serving people were impressive, and last night he had truly experienced the taste of love.

Since Liang Lu wasn't willing to bear him a child, he couldn't be blamed for finding other women to have one with.

"I still have to discuss this matter with Mom and Dad," Hou Liangping thought to himself.

If he and Liang Lu didn't have children, his parents certainly wouldn't be happy; even if it meant not being an official, or even if it meant divorce and remarriage, they would make him leave behind his bloodline.

On the second day after Liang Lu left, Hou Liangping went to the hair salon again, and only after performing a duet with the woman with wavy hair did he state his purpose.

"What? You want me to have a child for you? Little brother, are you alright? Although I am not a maiden, I am not a woman who is easily had."

"It isn't easy for you to run this hair salon, is it? I can help you, and afterwards, I will give you ten thousand yuan, enough for you to live for half a lifetime anywhere."

Hou Liangping bought his house with a loan, and he used his parents' housing provident fund to make the repayments, so his family still had quite a lot of savings; taking out thirty or fifty thousand was still easy for him.

"This, I..."

The woman with big wavy hair was tempted; if her hair salon really relied on cutting hair to make money, she wouldn't even earn ten thousand yuan in several years.

"Fifteen thousand, no more than that."

"Twenty thousand. For twenty thousand, I will have a child for you, and after I get pregnant, you must give me ten thousand as a deposit first."

"Fine, this matter must only be known to you and me."

"Good, then let's continue, and strive to conceive as soon as possible." Hou Liangping also wanted to get things done while Liang Lu was away.

"You aren't trying to get a free ride from me, are you?" The woman with big wavy hair looked at Hou Liangping suspiciously.
