"Mom, these are massage pillows for you and Dad."
Min Xuehua: "If you're coming, why bring anything?"
Jiang Chuanmin joked, "Isn't this what you wanted?"
Min Xuehua rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and turned to chat with Lin Zhi: "When is Lai Lai coming back?"
Lin Zhi: "She should be on her way now. We can start cooking first."
The auntie in charge of cooking has already cleaned up the kitchen. Every time Lin Zhi comes home, she will take the initiative to cook in the kitchen. It has become a habit. She only needs to help out.
Lin Zhi entered the kitchen and looked helplessly at the aunt when she saw the prepared vegetables and meat: "Auntie, please don't help me cut them next time. I can only cook now, and my knife skills are still far from good."
The aunt always said yes, but she always cut it up and put it on the table for her.
A crackling sound rang out, and soon the aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen, prompting Jiang Chuanmin to praise it repeatedly.
Jiang Lai returned just in time; the food was already on the table when she entered. She inhaled the aroma, put down her backpack, and was about to grab a squid ring to try.
With a snap, the chopsticks slammed hard against the back of Jiang Lai's hand.
Jiang Lai cried out, "Sister! It hurts!"
"It's good that you feel pain. Go wash your hands!"
While we were eating, the TV was unexpectedly left on, and what was even stranger was that it was playing a mother and baby care program, with the volume extremely loud, and the baby was crying loudly.
Min Xuehua picked up a piece of braised pork and gave it to Lin Zhi: "When I was in postpartum confinement, Lai Lai cried loudly next to me. Every time she cried, it annoyed me so much, but when I saw her rosy little face, I just couldn't stay angry. I thought that I might have to live for this pink and tender little one for the rest of my life." As she spoke, the loving look in her eyes shone on Jiang Lai like the March sun, and she reached out to touch her head.
Jiang Lai shuddered. Eighty percent of that statement was false. Her aunt said that Min Xuehua had someone to take care of her during her postpartum period, and Jiang Lai wasn't even by her side. She only cried during the day, so how could it affect her?
And how could that gaze, radiating maternal love, seem so cunning!
Min Xuehua continued, "Sometimes I wonder when I'll be able to hold her child, and what that will feel like."
"Um... the lion's head meatballs you cooked today smelled so good!" Jiang Lai blushed as she changed the subject.
Sure enough, there was a hidden meaning in his words; Director Min was putting on an act himself.
"Mom, we will study it carefully." Lin Zhi's firm words surprised everyone at the table, including Min Xuehua herself.
"Really, sister?" Jiang Lai's eyes practically sparkled with excitement as she realized what she was seeing, her gaze almost spilling into the food on the table.
She had always wanted to, but due to their work, she had never brought it up. There was a technology abroad that could extract the chromosomes of two women and combine them, so that they could have a child that belonged to both of them without the help of a man.
Lin Zhi nodded: "Yes, I've been thinking about this. I'm getting old, and if I don't have a child now, I might never have the chance again."
Jiang Lai couldn't suppress the corners of her lips curving upwards: "It's okay, I can..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zhi interrupted him: "You can't. Your career is booming right now, and you have so many engagements. You don't have time to have children, so let me handle this."
"But it will hurt a lot..."
Jiang Lai would never let Lin Zhi suffer in bed, let alone during childbirth.
Lin Zhi remained resolute: "Give me a chance to be a mother, okay, Lai Lai?"
Jiang Lai pursed her lips and remained silent.
Having achieved her goal, Min Xuehua changed the subject: "Alright, we can discuss this later, but I want to talk about Lai Lai's new drama."
......
Min Xuehua was much more serious about teaching than about urging children to have children. She talked until 10 o'clock, still playing videos and explaining them at the same time. By the time Min Xuehua "finished class", Jiang Lai was already very sleepy. She went back to her room to take a shower, but found that Lin Zhi was using the bathroom. She thought for a moment, then took her change of clothes and ran to the public bathroom on the second floor to shower. Unfortunately, she could only take a shower, not a bath.
Washing away her fatigue, Jiang Lai yawned as she returned to her room. The room was dark, but moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, and she could vaguely glimpse a figure on the bed.
It has a textured, uneven surface.
"Sister? Did I turn on the light?"
"Don't open it."
Jiang Lai pulled her hand back from the light switch and groped her way back to bed in the dark: "But I haven't done my skincare yet."
The person under the covers poked their head out, a flush spreading from their cheeks to their ears: "Stop with skincare for now."
Jiang Lai asked, puzzled, "Then what are we doing?"
"Of course, I want my million back!"
Jiang Lai realized that she might be referring to something on the show, and said helplessly, "But you haven't transferred it to me yet..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Zhi touched her head without warning, her fingertips threading through her hair. Suddenly, she pulled her head down, and in an instant, she lost her sight and even had difficulty breathing. But she did not struggle because she knew clearly where she was buried.
"Give me back my one million."
The time has come; it's time to open the valves and release the floodwaters.
Half a minute later, several small garments appeared on the floor where there had only been two pairs of slippers. The room was filled with the scent of love and the woman's captivating voice.
"Jiang Lai, I love you." She tried her best to pronounce the words clearly.
Jiang Lai was startled, and her hand movements paused for a long time, so long that the person beneath her pulled her hand in dissatisfaction and pointed it towards the rising tide.
The first time Lin Zhi said those words, Jiang Lai knew clearly that she didn't love her.
But this time, she meant it. She truly loved herself, very much.
Jiang Lai hugged her and buried her face in her chest: "Thank you for loving me."
Lin Zhi instinctively hugged her back, her fingernails leaving marks on her back: "No, thank you for coming back to me."

The System Urges Me to Marry the Female Lead
Warning: Transmigration warning!
Si Di has been passionate about writing novels since junior high school, but unfortunately his writing is too outrageous, so not only does no one read it, but it is also frequently posted online for people to avoid.
While walking his dog, he fell into a sewer and died from the stench. Unfortunately, he transmigrated into his own ridiculous novel, an old, melodramatic story he wrote back in middle school. He also gained a stupid system along the way.
The novels the system assigned to her were all too old-fashioned, causing Si Di to completely forget the contents.
Si Di: "Don't you get any cheat codes when you transmigrate into a book?"
System: "Give me a damn thing."
The first rule of transmigrating into a book: Follow the novel's settings completely, for example—
System: "To save the female lead, the male lead must harvest the female supporting character's heart for a transplant."
Sid: "Is this really legal?"
System: "You wrote it yourself."
Rule number two for transmigrating into a book: The female supporting character must unconditionally fall for the protagonist, for example—
System: "The male lead spat out a mouthful of ancient phlegm on the ground, turned around with an air of dominance, and the female supporting character was captivated by his charm."
Si Di: "That's uncivilized behavior!"
Si Di decided to fight against the rules of NC. It's my novel, I'm in charge. I can be unconditionally attracted to the protagonist, but it doesn't have to be the male lead!
Si Di: "Pretty sister! I'm here!"
System: "Great, let's get married!"
I thought that once I got through one book, everything would be fine, and I was even sad because I broke up with the pretty older sister. But as soon as I closed my eyes, I was transported into the next book.
In the end, Si Di simply gave up and decided to go straight to the female lead after transmigrating into the book. To hell with the male lead, I love beautiful women!
Si Di: "Sister, why is brother so short-tempered? Unlike me, I only care about you."
Male protagonist: "Utter nonsense!"
Xin Yao: "Don't be afraid, little sister, I'm here."
Male lead: ? ? ?
P.S.: 1. The entire story is fictional.
2. 1v1 + Both partners are clean (clean)
3. There is a big world

Chapter 93 Extra 2
You Yi first heard Xia Fanrou's name from her father. At the time, she was a college student and didn't know much about the entertainment industry. She only knew that this person was very capable and that it was already amazing that she had achieved such success without formal training. However, when she learned that Xia Fanrou was the daughter of the CEO of Xia's International Bank, she scoffed at her.
With such an impressive background, it's no wonder he's thriving in the entertainment industry.
The second time she heard about Xia Fanrou was when she helped Jiang Lai get the interview script. At that time, she didn't know that this woman would soon disrupt her life.
——
"Mr. You, I think the cooperation you mentioned is feasible, but..."
The middle-aged man looked at the half-empty bottle of foreign liquor in front of him, stroked his stubble, and seemed to be deep in thought.
You Yi immediately understood that this bastard wanted him to drink the rest of the bottle, clearly intending to do something to him after he got drunk.
She was fairly confident in her alcohol tolerance, but she had already drunk quite a bit before this. If she drank half a bottle more, she probably would have passed out.
Seeing her reluctance, the man pretended to be hesitant: "Then our cooperation... never mind, I won't force you, let's call it a day."
You Yi picked up the wine bottle and smiled apologetically: "How could that be, Mr. Wang? I am honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with your company, and I certainly wouldn't want to spoil your fun."
The man nodded, his smile utterly lewd.
You Yi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Then, Mr. Wang, don't forget to sign the contract."
