Chapter 004 Giving birth until no more births are possible
"Keep having children until you can't have any more."
These words struck Bai Muxi like a thunderclap.
She suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Shame, anger, astonishment, absurdity... all these emotions intertwined, making her delicate cheeks instantly turn as red as if they were about to bleed.
She had seen greedy men and men who made unreasonable demands, but she had never seen anyone describe "having a child" as an endless production task so calmly and matter-of-factly.
A football team?
That was the limit she could think of.
Keep having children until you can't have any more?
What do they take her for?
Bai Muxi's chest heaved violently as her strong sense of self-esteem as a quasi-martial artist was trampled upon like never before.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and re-examined Lin Qiye in front of her.
The man in front of me had clear eyes, as if he were stating the terms of a business contract, his calmness was frightening.
He... is serious.
A crazy idea rose in her mind: perhaps... this is the most secure deal.
A man with an almost obsessive desire to have children, and a woman who would do anything for cultivation resources.
Although their goals were completely different, they strangely reached a consensus on the matter of "having children".
The more children you have, the more maternity allowance you receive.
For her, it meant more cultivation resources and a faster path to the martial arts realm.
For him, he got what he wanted: to have children.
This is a naked transaction where everyone gets what they want.
Having figured this out, Bai Muxi's tense body relaxed.
She raised her eyes to meet Lin Qiye's gaze. Although her voice was still cold, she was no longer as guarded as before.
"Sure. But I have conditions."
"Go ahead," Lin Qiye said calmly, looking at her as if he had expected her to agree.
"First, all maternity allowances will be at my disposal for my cultivation. After deducting daily household expenses, any surplus from your salary should also be used to support me as much as possible."
"Okay." Lin Qiye nodded without hesitation.
Bai Muxi was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to agree so readily.
She continued, "Secondly, you cannot interfere with my cultivation; I need independent training space and time."
"Sure." Lin Qiye nodded again. "There will be two bedrooms in the house, one of which can be converted into your training room."
"Third..." Bai Muxi looked at him, "You can't touch me before we become a real couple."
Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Miss Bai, I think you've misunderstood something. We're not dating; we're fulfilling an agreement. The agreement is to have a child. Therefore, there's no process of 'becoming a real couple.' We've been together from the beginning with this goal in mind. As for when to start… let's start tonight. The sooner you get pregnant, the sooner you can receive your allowance, right?"
His words were like a heavy hammer, shattering the last shred of illusion and composure in Bai Muxi's heart.
Yes, what is she still hoping for?
She looked at Lin Qiye's outstretched hand, which was clean, slender, and had distinct knuckles.
She remained silent for a long time before finally reaching out and gently shaking his hand.
"make a deal."
Their hands touched briefly before parting.
……
The following process was incredibly fast.
The two confirmed their matching intentions on their personal terminals, and the system immediately generated an electronic companion agreement.
They signed their names on the agreement, and their identity information was instantly synchronized to the citizen database.
[Citizens Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi have officially established their romantic relationship.]
[Housing allocation in progress... Allocation successful!]
[Housing Address: Building B, Room 1314, Xiangyang Garden, Grain District 16]
[House key access has been sent to both of your personal terminals. Wishing you both a pleasant life and continued contributions to the prosperity of the empire.]
Back home, when Lin's parents saw Bai Muxi beside their son and heard that Lin Qiye had confirmed his relationship with her and they had already registered their marriage, the elderly couple could only offer their blessings.
While Bai Muxi went to the restroom, Lin's mother pulled Lin Qiye aside and said, "How foolish you are, son! How could you be so foolish!"
"A debt of 90! You're pushing yourself into a fire pit!"
Lin Qiye could only say what they wanted to hear: "We've already discussed it and decided to have the baby immediately. Her desire to have children is very strong."
Anyway, after moving out, their parents can't control them anymore.
I think I've managed to calm them down these past few days.
Lin's father also sighed heavily.
However, when they heard that Bai Muxi was willing to have a child immediately and that there would be no wedding, and everything would be kept simple.
This put my parents at ease a little.
She seems to be a woman who is willing to settle down and live a stable life.
Of course, Lin Qiye couldn't tell them that Bai Muxi wanted to continue cultivating.
This was merely an agreement between Lin Qiye and Bai Muxi.
Seeing this, Lin's parents could only sigh.
But what's done is done, and no amount of anger can change anything.
Lin's mother whispered, "Qi Ye, you have to be careful with your money. That 90 is no small amount."
"Also, she's not young anymore. She needs to hurry up and have children, have a few as soon as possible, get more maternity allowance, and it will ease some of the burden..."
