In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1190 Is it okay not to feel sorry for them?

“It’s hard for my wife to make them give up. The temptation of having offspring is too great. It’s hard for them not to be tempted. There are always people guarding the gate of our mansion, just waiting for my wife to show her face,” Chen Jingshu said with a smile.

"Jing Shu and the others asked you to introduce men to your wife? But those who come to me are all looking to find a match for their children, especially through my mother's family. I never knew we had so many relatives in the Lu family, some of whom I've never even met before," Lu Yuanyi replied.

"How does Lord Lu know I didn't? There are many families who have come to propose marriage for Zhaozhao and Yi'er. My mother and father said that the people who come to visit are blocking the gate of the Chen residence every day. Many of them are people who have no connection with the Chen family at all."

"I've heard that the Xun family, the Huan family, the Cui family, and the Pei family are all the same."

After hearing these words, Su Yueyao fell silent. Did these people think they couldn't rely on her and were planning to take a roundabout approach by directly selecting her daughters?

They even prey on tiny infants; it's almost terrifying...

Su Yueyao looked up, about to say something, when she saw Lu Yuanyi and Chen Jingshu staring at her expectantly.

Su Yueyao felt a little uneasy under their gazes: "Why are you two looking at me like that? You can decide the children's affairs yourselves, but you can't just play matchmaker."

“My lady…we have no intention of arranging marriages for the children too early. At the earliest, we will wait until the children are around ten years old so that they can choose for themselves. I just want my lady to say that the manor will not consider arranging marriages for the young ladies in the short term,” Chen Jingshu said with a smile.

"The most important thing for the wife is to write down the children's future marriages, and you must personally oversee this and not let anyone interfere with our maternal clan," Lu Yuanyi said softly from the side.

"It's not hard for me to speak, but is it effective? Everyone knows I don't want to get married, yet they still rush to send their sons to me, and now they're even eyeing our children."

“My lady, it’s useful. At least we can deal directly with the people outside.”

"Alright then! I'll have my lord arrange it later, write a notice, and affix my personal seal."

Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Lu Yuanyi and Chen Jingshu immediately smiled and bowed.

"Thank you, my lady."

"You're welcome."

“My lady, I’m going to the outskirts of the city to check on Xingchen and the others. I’ll be staying for a few days. If their symptoms have lessened, I’ll bring them back by the end of the month, when you are three months pregnant.”

"Okay, go ahead! Take plenty of men with you, and be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, my lady." Lu Yuanyi said, then turned and left.

“Once you’re not worried about them not reacting, it’ll be time for them to really want to cling to you. This time, there are two more people than when Yunsheng and the others had children. How do you plan to deal with this?” Chen Jingshu asked with a smile as he sat down next to Su Yueyao after watching Lu Yuanyi leave.

Su Yueyao's expression froze upon hearing this; she... seemed to have forgotten about it.

At this moment, Su Yueyao's hand almost instinctively went to her waist, this...

Looking at Su Yueyao's expression, Chen Jingshu smiled and said, "My lady, my lord and I have discussed it. During the day, they can all stick to you, and at night they can take turns. Those who don't get to take turns can sleep while hugging your clothes."

Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief. What exactly did "taking turns" mean? Was it one person for more than an hour?

Although she felt sorry for them, she felt even more sorry for her back...

"Let's leave it at that for Jing Shu! We'll talk about it again when they show symptoms. If you say that, I'm tempted to just run away from home and abandon them."

Upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, Chen Jingshu burst out laughing: "My wife is running away from home, doesn't she care about Xingcejun and the others?"

"Sometimes... for your own sake, it's okay not to feel sorry for them, right?"

Looking at Su Yueyao's expression, Chen Jingshu smiled and ruffled her hair. How could his wife be so adorable?

"What are you laughing at? I'm not wrong, humph! Back then, you were in a pretty bad situation too, if it weren't for me..."

"If it weren't for my wife's concern for me and her special visit to see me, I would have been miserable and wouldn't have the good life I have now."

"Jing Shu, when did you... become so glib?"

"I'm thanking you, my wife. I'm not being glib at all. These are my most sincere words. Don't worry, my wife, Xingchen and the others won't hurt you."

"But if my wife is too soft-hearted and compromises, then it's no longer our problem."

"I won't be soft-hearted," Su Yueyao said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, I trust my wife. Now, can my wife spend some time with me?" Chen Jingshu said with a smile, putting his arm around Su Yueyao.

"I'm here with you, aren't I?" Su Yueyao said, looking at him with a frustrated expression.

"Then from now on, my wife, don't think about anyone else, just think about me, okay?" After Chen Jingshu finished speaking, he gently rested his head on Su Yueyao's shoulder.

Hearing the gentle tone in Chen Jingshu's voice, Su Yueyao looked down at him. He rarely seemed so calm yet slightly tired; he seemed so real.

“Okay, from now on, I’ll only think about you. Thinking back to the first time I met you, it seemed like we were investigating some case. Back then, you gave off a strong aura, cold and unapproachable.” Su Yueyao said with a smile.

"Aren't you curious about what I thought when I first saw you, my wife?"

"When you first saw me, you must have thought I was beautiful inside and out, an unparalleled beauty that's hard to find in the world," Su Yueyao said proudly.

When Chen Jingshu heard Su Yueyao boast like this, his expression was full of doting: "Yes! At that time, I felt that all the female rulers in the entire Fengdu were not as beautiful as my wife, nor as kind-hearted as my wife."

Su Yueyao was surprised that Chen Jingshu would praise her like that, and her face flushed with embarrassment: "I'm not that good, stop praising me!"

"My wife is just that good; she deserves the best!"

"My lady, do you really like us the way we are? Otherwise, why have you been so nice to Feng Qi lately?"

"I've always felt that way about Feng Qi. I just... feel sorry for his childhood experiences, and it's undeniable that he is indeed exquisitely handsome. Anyone would have more patience when it comes to beautiful things."

"No wonder the wife is so indulgent towards us! It's because of our faces."

Hearing Chen Jingshu's teasing, Su Yueyao smiled and nodded: "You're only realizing that now!"

"My wife... how can you be like this...?"

"Am I that superficial? If I weren't superficial, you wouldn't even be able to get into my door!"

Hearing Su Yueyao's teasing words, Chen Jingshu gritted his teeth and huffed, "Then... my wife should be a little more superficial!"

Su Yueyao burst out laughing when she saw Chen Jingshu's angry expression.
