Ever since the scandal where someone tried to smear her name, Feng Wan's impression of Nie Shuyuan had only improved. This man was truly exceptional—he didn't care about rumors or public gossip and only believed in what his girlfriend said.
Similarly, Mother Nie didn't oppose their relationship because of the incident. Instead, she felt sorry for Feng Wan, regretting that her son hadn't met her earlier.
Well, it seemed that her future in-laws were reasonable people—not like those domineering, rich families on TV who tried to break couples apart with a checkbook.
And so, after dating Nie Shuyuan for six months, Feng Wan accepted his proposal.
Nie Shuyuan acted quickly. That very day, they went to the civil affairs bureau to register their marriage. That night, the two of them officially began living together.
Though the man's skills in bed weren't the best, his long-term fitness regime gave him impressive stamina.
After that, Feng Wan would sleep in every day until she naturally woke up. She moved her morning workouts to the evenings, and only during her period would she wake up on time.
Originally, the couple had planned to hold their wedding over the National Day holiday that year. But two months before the big day, Feng Wan discovered she was already a month pregnant.
For the sake of her health and to give her a grand wedding, the Nie family had no choice but to postpone the ceremony.
After all, the two were already legally married, and they hadn't used any contraception, so getting pregnant was just a matter of time.
But to Feng Wan, the pregnancy came as a huge relief. It was a blessing! If she hadn't gotten pregnant, she was afraid she might have one day collapsed and died from exhaustion in bed. How had she ever been foolish enough to think Nie Shuyuan was some upright gentleman?
Once they truly lived together, she realized this man was a wolf in sheep's clothing, who had never forgotten how she once flirted with him.
As the saying goes: what goes around, comes around.
Later, Feng Wan successfully gave birth to a little princess, and the entire Nie family was overjoyed—including her young brother-in-law, who was only in his first year of middle school.
What Feng Wan didn't know was that Mother Nie had always dreamed of having a daughter. Unfortunately, after giving birth to her youngest son, she hadn't been able to have more children. Now, with the arrival of a granddaughter, it felt like that long-held dream had finally come true.
After the baby was born, Feng Wan and Nie Shuyuan moved into a villa under his name, and they hired a housekeeper to help with the childcare.
Feng Wan fully agreed with this arrangement. There was no way she could manage everything by herself. Since the family had money, there was no reason to skimp on something so important.
As for the belief that letting others take care of your child would make them feel distant from their parents, Feng Wan found it laughable. A child that small wouldn't understand such things. When the kid grew older, they could always let the housekeeper go.
In any case, she wasn't the type to drain herself just to meet some ideal. She was selfish—her own comfort came before her husband and children.
The wedding was finally held when the baby was three months old. Feng Wan didn't invite anyone from her own family, worried that their presence might upset her. The Nie family understood her situation and didn't oppose the decision.
As for Kong Rui, after that scandal, his reputation was ruined. With his career gone, he tried to cling to Yuan Huihui as his last hope.
At that point, Yuan Huihui was also unable to survive in the entertainment industry and didn't want to go back to her ordinary, mundane life.
In order to maintain her luxurious lifestyle, she ultimately chose to be with Kong Rui.
After everything that had happened, she didn't have any better options anyway.
But it was only after they registered their marriage that Yuan Huihui discovered Kong Rui was impotent. At first, she could tolerate being a "widow in a living marriage" for the sake of money.
But over time, she realized that Kong Rui had even been giving their household money to a woman named Xu Meilin. That, she couldn't accept.
So, Yuan Huihui had an affair. She even kept a young boy toy. It wasn't until she got pregnant that Kong Rui found out.
Kong Rui couldn't bear being cheated on, and the two ended up in a physical fight that left Yuan Huihui permanently infertile.
In the end, Kong Rui filed for divorce against the woman who had once been his goddess. Yuan Huihui didn't even dare ask for compensation—after all, she was too ashamed to reveal the real reason behind the divorce.
In this world, Feng Wan only gave birth to one daughter. She used contraception ever since, not wanting to put her body through another pregnancy and all its suffering.
While the system's points could have helped with the pain, stingy Feng Wan refused to waste even a single point on something like that.
Nie Shuyuan also fully supported his wife's decision. One precious little daughter was more than enough trouble for him.
