Passionate Love After Marriage With The White Moonlight Movie Queen

Chapter 12: I Don't Want To Let My Wife Suffer 

After Shen Wangshu's words, the other three people at the table fell into a brief silence.

Finally, it was Shen Qiong who spoke first. "It's not our eldest, it's our youngest. Both of them are already married."

As she spoke, she went to fetch the red booklet from the coffee table and showed it to Shen Wangshu, who had the same stunned expression as when she heard the news earlier.

Shen Wangshu carefully looked at the photos, comparing the figures in them with the two younger generations in front of her. She still found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Jinrong, are you really interested in our Yao'er?"

Her words coincided with the resentful expression on Shen Qingzhi's face. She quickly tried to make up for it.

"You have good taste! I could tell at a glance that you two would make a great match. Don't worry, marrying our Yao'er, you won't regret it in the future."

Why do I feel like my lines were stolen?

Shen Qingzhi:...

What's with this promotional tone?

Shen Wangshu was in high spirits due to the happy news, and her words flowed like a bursting dam.

"So when are you planning to have the wedding?"

"When will the parents meet each other?"

"Have you discussed how to arrange the marital home?"

"When do you plan to have babies?"

….

"Mommy!" Shen Qingzhi couldn't take it anymore and interrupted Shen Wangshu's rambling.

She thought her shotgun wedding was already urgent enough, but it seemed like her own mother was even more anxious.

In just a few sentences, they had already jumped to the topic of having children.

If they continued talking, would they start discussing which school the child would attend and what kind of partner they should find when they grow up?

Shen Qingzhi was quite distressed: Is this really my own mother? Why doesn't she resemble me, who is reserved and introverted?

Seeing her daughter getting impatient, Shen Wangshu weakened her tone a bit, "Mommy is just concerned about you."

"Mommy, can I call you like Shen Qingzhi does?" Gu Jinrong timely interjected, diverting the attention of the mother and daughter.

Shen Wangshu felt relieved to see Gu Jinrong's polite attitude and looked at her daughter-in-law with a pleased expression.

"Of course, no problem. Jinrong, don't mind if Mommy talks too much. Marriage is not just about two individuals, it also involves two families."

"Yao'er is still quite young, so as mothers, we need to consider things thoroughly."

Gu Jinrong nodded patiently, "I understand what you mean. In fact, we have discussed these issues with Qingqing before."

Shen Qingzhi: Why don't I remember?

Shen Qingzhi hid one hand under the table and lightly twisted Gu Jinrong's leg.

The next moment, her hand was enveloped by another slightly longer hand.

Gu Jinrong gently patted Shen Qingzhi's disruptive hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Shen Qingzhi pouted and didn't interrupt, humming in her heart: You better not say anything inappropriate.

Gu Jinrong maintained a polite and composed demeanor as she spoke to Shen Wangshu.

"Because of our professions, Qingqing and I have discussed it, and we won't publicly announce our marriage this year.

"When the time is right next year, we will make the announcement and have the wedding. At that time, I will also bring my parents back from abroad.

"I just returned to the country not long ago, and I will only have a longer break in the second half of next year. So, I will discuss the matter of having children with Qingqing at a later time."

Shen Qingzhi was shocked upon hearing this, "I don't want children!"

She quietly glared at Gu Jinrong: Everything was going smoothly, and now the ball is being thrown to me. That's so unfair!

Seeing three pairs of eyes focused on her at the table, Shen Qingzhi straightened her neck.

"I... I enjoy our alone time together.

"Besides, having children is too much suffering. I don't want to torture myself, and I don't want to see my wife suffer."

Gu Jinrong's gaze was fixed on Shen Qingzhi's face, and when she heard the words "wife," her eyes curved with delight.

Shen Wangshu was taken aback by her daughter's attitude and tried to persuade her reluctantly.

"Actually, having a baby is not as scary as you think. When Mommy gave birth to you, it was a smooth delivery, only two hours.

"If you don't have enough time, when my granddaughter is born, I can help take care of her too."

Shen Qingzhi was about to refuse, but she heard Shen Qiong muttering something incoherent beside her, who had been silent all this time.

"It was such a relief to finally get rid of this little trouble, and now we're rushing to take in another one."

She raised her head and met her wife's gaze, quickly offering a smile.

"What I mean is, every generation has its own blessings. Shen Qingzhi is not young anymore, so let her make her own decision about this matter."

Shen Qingzhi was deeply moved. From childhood to adulthood, it was rare for the old fox to stand on the same side as her.

Although the old fox probably said that because she didn't want to take care of a granddaughter, they ultimately reached the same conclusion.

With a 2:1 ratio, Shen Wangshu was still unwilling and kept insisting, "But if you don't have any descendants, who will take care of you and provide for you in your old age?"

Shen Qingzhi immediately replied, "We will earn a lot of money in the future and go to the best nursing home. And if you're talking about the final arrangements, I'll take care of my future niece."

She couldn't help but applaud herself in her heart for saying something so absurd but sounding like it could be true.

Shen Wangshu was rendered speechless by the response and could only turn her gaze to Gu Jinrong.

Gu Jinrong smiled politely, "I'll follow Qingqing's lead on this matter."

With a 3:1 ratio, Shen Wangshu had to give up. She sighed, "Alright, let's not talk about children for now. Let's talk about your housing."

This sudden change of topic caught her off guard, as the questions from the elders came one after another.

Shen Qingzhi buried her head, pretending to be dead, and looked at Gu Jinrong, waiting for her to make a decision.

Gu Jinrong understood her intentions and spoke sincerely.

"I haven't been back in the country for long, so I bought a two-bedroom apartment in Moonlight District as a temporary place to stay."

"For the matrimonial house, I previously surveyed the real estate market in H City, and the best location is on the southeast side of Century Park.

"Mommy, you can choose a suitable one together with Qingzhi, and I'll buy it and put the property in Qingzhi's name."

Shen Qingzhi, who was eating tomatoes, almost choked and desperately made eye contact with Gu Jinrong: You went too far with the act!

Fortunately, the two parents next to them didn't notice her small gesture. Shen Qiong was the first to express opposition.

"That won't do. We're marrying off our daughter, not selling her.

"Here's what we'll do. You two decide on the matrimonial house together, split the cost in half, and put both of your names on it.

"I just gave Shen Qingzhi a bank card earlier, so Gu Jinrong, you don't need to save money for her."

Shen Wangshu also agreed with this proposal.

Seeing this originally non-existent matter being discussed so vividly by these three people, Shen Qingzhi couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

She initially thought it would just be a simple registration at the Civil Affairs Bureau, without much trouble. But if they really bought a matrimonial house together, it would be even more complicated if they were to divorce in the future.

Shen Qingzhi swallowed the tomato in her mouth and spoke urgently.

"Mom, I suddenly remembered that I'm really busy with work this year and don't have time to deal with the matrimonial house.

"Besides, I might have to leave H City and go to another province for filming in the second half of the year. Since the matrimonial house is such an important matter, can we put it on hold for now?"

Shen Qiong became unhappy upon hearing this. "Why would we put such an important matter on hold? You're already married. You can't keep squeezing in with us, the old couple."

Among the people present, Shen Qingzhi believed she understood the old fox's thoughts the most and immediately revealed her intentions.

"Then I'll move out and find a place to live today. It won't bother your eyes anymore."

Shen Wangshu, seeing that the mother and daughter were about to clash, quickly intervened to defuse the situation.

"Mom doesn't mean that. You can stay at home for as long as you want. It's just that the matrimonial house is also important."

However, Shen Qiong, unusually, took a different stance and looked at Shen Qingzhi, asking, "Where do you plan to move?"

"I'll move to..." Shen Qingzhi locked eyes with Shen Qiong, on the verge of blurting out the word "hotel," but she quickly swallowed it back.

She looked around in a daze and finally fixed her gaze on Gu Jinrong, who had remained silent for a while. Thinking on her feet, she pointed her finger.

"I'll move in with her."
