Chapter 638: Chapter 642 DINK Family (Five)

The following days, Ning Zhiyuan never found the opportunity to discuss his plan with Su Li.

Time passed, and he started to realize that his wife had changed a lot compared to before.

She no longer cooked, nor did she do any house chores... she caused more trouble than when she was younger.

Every day she was either exercising, going to the beauty salon, or shopping nonstop...

Moreover, from her recent actions, it seemed she had even joined a traveler’s group, preparing for a long journey.

Don’t ask how he knew this, for in his younger days, he was the one often engaged in such activities.

Just by looking at the things his wife had recently bought, he could tell she was planning to climb a mountain, and it was even a snowy mountain thousands of meters high...

In the past, he had also been obsessed with it for a while, causing his wife and family members to worry.

Now, Su Li had started doing this kind of thing herself... not considering her old age at all...

The frustration and depression he had accumulated these days reached their peak at this moment.

This time, he definitely wanted to talk things through with her.

Ning Zhiyuan touched his uncomfortable abdomen, his face suddenly turning a strange color, resembling the liver of a pig.

It was over, he needed to use the restroom again.

When Su Li leisurely returned home, Ning Zhiyuan sat on the sofa with his arms crossed, his eyes glaring straight at the door.

As she entered, she directly met his dark eyes, clearly waiting there for her.

Su Li covered her mouth with a laugh, noticing within just a few days the visible thinning on Ning Zhiyuan’s cheeks.

It seemed he really hadn’t had an easy time these days.

This man, he shouldn’t be spoiled... the original owner might have been too good to him.

But switching to Su Li, heh... wanting her to cook and nurse him?

Dream on? The day has already broken, wake up...

As soon as Ning Zhiyuan saw Su Li, he couldn’t hold back for even half a second, and bluntly said, "Su Li, come here, let’s have a good talk."

"You’ve changed a lot recently..."

Having experienced so many small worlds, Su Li had heard this line from at least ten different men.

Whenever there was a change that didn’t align with what they expected, they would look disappointed and say, you’ve changed, you’re not the same person you used to be...

Really, sometimes men are quite similar in certain aspects, all being unwelcome jerks.

Su Li indifferently set down the objects in her hands and stood towering above Ning Zhiyuan. With arms crossed and an indifferent expression, she asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

It seemed Ning Zhiyuan had reached his limit of patience, and Su Li decided not to tease him any further.

"Let’s have a child."

Ning Zhiyuan’s tone was very assertive, it wasn’t suggestive but more like issuing a command.

However, because his voice was deep and rich, it softened the sharpness in his words, making them less harsh on the ears.

Still, Su Li was displeased on hearing this, looking at him like he was a joker sent by monkeys to amuse her.

Su Li looked at Ning Zhiyuan as if he were mentally challenged, then dramatically pointed at him and then at herself, asking, "Are you serious?"

After seeing Ning Zhiyuan nod, Su Li continued, "Do you know how old I am this year?"

"I’m over forty, almost fifty. It’s the age to be a grandmother."

Despite not being utterly unsympathetic, at least Ning Zhiyuan’s face flushed with shame and he felt quite embarrassed when Su Li said this.

At this age, in the past, that would have meant being scolded for shamelessness.

Su Li: "When I was able to have children, you didn’t want any, now that I can’t, you..."

Ning Zhiyuan hastily interrupted, "No, you can have children, you can; modern medicine is so advanced now. I’ve even heard of a woman in her sixties giving birth. As long as we..."

Seeing Ning Zhiyuan like this, he was absolutely determined to carry this decision through.

Su Li covered the gleam in her eyes and asked doubtfully, "Didn’t we agree to pursue the DINK lifestyle to the end? Besides, you’ve also said that you hate children."

"We’ve had our world for just the two of us for over twenty years now, everything’s been fine, you..."

Indeed, these were words spoken in youthful ignorance, and he couldn’t refute them.

Ning Zhiyuan appeared flustered, his lips quivering as he stuttered an explanation: "This, it’s just... people change, you know, I was young and reckless back then..."

Youthful and reckless, huh...

A simple statement of youthful recklessness had ruined the original owner’s lifelong beliefs.

The original owner could endure a lifetime of loneliness without children because she thought she still had a love to uphold.

So she regretted but willingly so.

But midway, the person who had walked with her suddenly turned around and said he’d changed his mind.

All those beliefs came crashing down.

Ning Zhiyuan had the capital to regret, but she did not.

A man’s mouth, a deceitful mouth.

Of course, Ning Zhiyuan was sincere at first, genuinely wanting to choose a child-free life.

In this regard, he had never deceived the original owner.

But because it was so, the original owner couldn’t even blame him. He was merely following his heart.

All the choices were made by himself, but she was angry, and sad—who was there to blame?

Su Li also found it strange; having met many people, she felt they could generally be categorized into two types.

One type lived freely and casually, never feeling they were wrong. If there was a fault, it was someone else’s.

Another type always attributed faults to themselves, and these people often lived very tiresomely.

It seemed the original owner was of this latter type.

The original owner spent the latter half of her life far from home, never concerned about Ning Zhiyuan’s life again.

In Su Li’s view, this was in fact unnecessary. Maybe she hadn’t considered that based on reality, at such an old age, having children and retracing the path of youth wouldn’t necessarily result in happiness.

Of course, that’s assuming you are a responsible person; if you only want to have children, not raise them, that’s a different matter.

However, based on an analysis of Ning Zhiyuan’s character, he wasn’t likely a person to sow the seeds without tending the field.

So Su Li was confident in saying that his decision wasn’t very wise.

Faced with Ning Zhiyuan’s hopeful gaze, Su Li simply asked, "But I still insist on DINK, are you willing?"

Ning Zhiyuan sulkily dropped his head, silent.

"It seems you are unwilling. Then let’s part on good terms."

Now it was Ning Zhiyuan’s turn to be incredulous; he suddenly raised his head, his voice somewhat sharp, "Do you realize what you just said?"

"You don’t like children very much, if we have one, shouldn’t you be happy?"

Su Li gave him a scornful glance, scoffing, "Getting old, I prefer peace. I’m too old to endure the commotion from a small child."

Hearing Ning Zhiyuan’s words, he actually had a clear understanding of the original owner’s thoughts; he was just selfish enough...
