Chapter 635: Chapter 639 DINK Family (Part 2)

"If things had continued this way, the original owner would still have felt very happy because everything was her choice."

"But there are no ifs, and so Su Li’s appearance and the original owner’s dissatisfaction came about."

"The original owner did not regret, but initially, the staunchest DINK supporter, her husband, did."

"He used to detest the presence of children, seeing them as little demons, an obstacle to the freedom he desired."

"Look at his colleagues, each one of them after work rushing home, all their actions revolving around their children."

"Apart from work, during their free time, all their time is devoted to their family and children."

"Often, he could see their exhaustion and half-closed eyes the next day."

"Even one of them, after the school holidays, was completely frazzled and irritable."

"At times like these, he would feel glad about his decision, and even considered himself lucky to have met a wife who supported his choice."

"The natural maternal instinct in women makes them naturally yearn for children, but his wife had given up her right to become a mother for him."

"For this, Ning Zhiyuan was still very grateful."

"But sometimes people’s thoughts are not unchanging."

"By the time he reached middle age, white hairs began appearing and his body wasn’t what it used to be."

"The desire for freedom that he pursued when younger gradually wanted to settle down."

"In his youth, he didn’t realize it, always thinking that apart from his wife, an additional little monster-like child would be too noisy and chaotic."

"But as he aged, he started to feel that returning to a home with just the two of them felt eerily quiet and too spacious."

"He hoped to feel a new vitality, his gaze involuntarily began to drift towards innocent children."

"It turns out children are not always mischievous; they can also be very thoughtful."

"They are not always crying; they are also very adorable."

"Thus, Ning Zhiyuan contemplated no longer being a DINK."

"He made this decision as he neared fifty."

"And decided that he wanted a child of his own."

"When he shared this decision with the original owner, her heart felt both sour and bitter."

"Her husband, although near fifty, looked very young due to his attention to exercise and fitness."

"Walking out, he still had flocks of young girls eagerly approaching him."

"And her? She was only a year younger than her husband, also nearly fifty; although it didn’t show externally, her body certainly wasn’t as young as before."

"If she were to think of conceiving a child under these circumstances, it would indeed be very difficult."

"It might also be extremely irresponsible towards her own health."

"But seeing her husband discussing the plan with enthusiasm, just as he had twenty years earlier when he persuaded her to become a DINK, was the same."

"You could see the twinkling stars in his eyes."

"Back then, the original owner was moved by the way he looked."

"So this time, although hesitant, she still agreed to her husband’s request."

"For their love to ultimately bloom and bear fruit."

"The original owner went back and forth to the hospital countless times, received many injections, took many medicines, and suffered a lot."

"That pain was a huge blow and torment to her entire being, from body to soul."

"The original owner still gritted her teeth and persevered, but the transplant still ended in failure."

"Over three years, her body went from being healthy to gaunt and haggard."

When the fifth attempt at IVF failed, the doctor told her that her body could no longer withstand the procedure.

Helplessly, this time the original owner tried to persuade her husband that they should continue their life as before.

Yet, just as he had once insisted on being DINK, Ning Zhiyuan was now adamant about wanting his own child.

It didn’t matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as the child had his essence blood coursing through its veins.

Even the once kind and friendly in-laws pressed them when they visited.

They even went so far as to say that if she didn’t want to bear a child, there were plenty of others who could.

There were millions of women in the world, and considering their son was approaching old age, it was high time he had a change of heart, so they couldn’t slack off anymore.

The original owner didn’t expect her in-laws, who had treated her like a daughter for decades, to turn so heartless.

But for the sake of her own health, she still chose to give up.

She was truly exhausted, having spent three years desperately trying to conceive, draining all of her vigor and spirit.

Although technology was advanced and there were many other ways they could fulfill their wish to have a child, such as finding a surrogate mother abroad,

the original owner simply didn’t want to go through any more trouble.

Because she felt that maybe the love she believed in was just a beautified version in her heart.

The happiness she imagined was also just her own assumption.

She had just... moved herself during these past twenty-plus years...

The original owner and her husband, Ning Zhiyuan, parted on amicable terms.

When they divorced, neither Ning Zhiyuan nor her in-laws short-changed her.

After all, she had been with Ning Zhiyuan through his rise from oblivion to glory; even if there were no merits, there were hardships.

More importantly, there was still a foundation of feelings between them.

The original owner took the substantial sum of money she received and found a place of natural beauty in which to retire.

She distanced herself from that heartbreak and no longer paid attention to those familiar faces from the past.

Her ex-husband probably got his wish; he was wealthy, scholarly, exactly the type of older man young girls fancy.

The empire that the aunt built with the uncle ultimately benefited the newcomer.

It goes to say, some relationships come early, but it’s the opportune ones that truly matter.

Perhaps Ning Zhiyuan already has a lovely wife and young children, a blissfully happy family.

Though she bears no resentment, what remains is full of grievances and regrets.

Once, she too had the opportunity to become a mother... In that case, would she now be like those ordinary elderly women, watching over her grandchildren and dancing in the square?

But in her old age and solitude, the original owner’s heart might still involuntarily harbor minor complaints against Ning Zhiyuan.

If it weren’t for him...

Ah, why think so much? After all, everything was her own choice.

She just believed in a man’s words, never expecting he would change his mind halfway through.

It’s always hard to settle, isn’t it?

---------

Carefully reflecting in her mind, Su Li realized that she has arrived at a time point many years into their marriage.

Soon, she might receive news of Ning Zhiyuan’s plans for children.

Getting out of bed, she picked a simple dress from the wardrobe to wear; the person in the mirror maintained an excellent figure.

From behind, no one would guess she was a woman nearly fifty years old.

A woman who has never given birth, her figure and demeanor really cannot be compared to those who have had children.
