Liu Jiedong furrowed his brow and said after a moment of contemplation, "If it’s a girl, she will still receive the best upbringing and care. However, the position of heir will still prioritize boys."
In the villa, Ling Xue was filled with worry upon learning of Liu Jiedong's decision. She understood that this choice would bring immense pressure and risk to her and her child.
Ling Xue turned to Ling Na and said, "What are we going to do? The child hasn’t even been born yet, and already they are caught up in such a complicated situation."
Ling Na took Ling Xue's hand and comforted her, "Don’t worry; we will face this together. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
The other women of Liu Jiedong were even more envious and angry upon hearing the news. They whispered among themselves, filled with hostility towards Ling Xue.
"Why should her child be the heir? Our children can’t?" one woman complained.
"Exactly, Liu Jiedong is too biased," another woman echoed.
In this world filled with desire and conflict, Ling Xue and Ling Na's futures were shrouded in uncertainty and challenges. Liu Jiedong's decision would also have a significant impact on Liu Group.
Ling Xue was overwhelmed with confusion and dissatisfaction. She angrily called for the system, questioning, "Why does every task now seem to involve elimination? It’s either pregnancy or marriage; none of the targets seem reliable for a lifelong commitment."
The mechanical voice of the system responded, "I previously advised you not to meet Xing Ming while in Female Body status, but you met Xing Ming and then Liu Jiang. If their longing for you diminishes, I cannot gain energy points, which will lower my energy levels and could lead to your demise. Right now is actually the best state. Moreover, Liu Jiedong is the best among the men; aside from his age and infidelity, he is handsome and wealthy. If you don’t want to capture him, he might leave as well. Following me will grant you supreme power; trust me, this will make you stronger."
Ling Xue frowned deeply, lost in thought. She knew she was trapped in this complicated situation but felt helpless and confused by the system's words. She didn’t know whether to continue following its arrangements or seek another way out.
However, it seemed there were no better options at present; she could only press on in this world filled with desire and danger, striving to complete the system's tasks to secure a future for herself and her child.
After Ling Xue and Ling Na became pregnant, Liu Jiedong's attention towards them indeed diminished significantly. This provided Ling Xue with some rare moments of solitude, reigniting her thoughts of returning to her former self as Ling Yu.
However, the system promptly issued a warning: "Due to the presence of a life form within you, currently only parts other than your limbs and head can be restored. Furthermore, it is not advisable to do so; any restoration may cause irreparable damage to your male body."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xue felt helpless and had to temporarily abandon that idea.
Seizing an opportunity, Ling Xue went out accompanied by Ling Na. They were followed by bodyguards when they left home and attended by a nanny upon returning; their movements were heavily restricted.
In the car, Ling Na couldn’t help but exclaim, "Having the baby isn’t so bad after all. If your child can inherit billions in assets, our mission can also be accomplished. Plus, I’m not as resistant to Liu Jiedong anymore. I come from a poor background and have had bad experiences with people; my time with Jun Yue made me feel hopeless about life. I almost ended up with that Hou Kang—the taxi driver you met before—he’s old and untrustworthy. At least Liu Jiedong provides financial support. Though he has many women, which man in ancient times didn’t have multiple wives? Liu Jiedong is successful; openly flirting seems better than secretly cheating. Look at his women; some even include mothers and daughters together. Sun Dai didn’t leave even after divorce; isn’t it all about money?"
Ling Xue listened to Ling Na’s words with mixed emotions. She understood that there was some truth in what Ling Na said; however, she also knew that such a lifestyle was not what she yearned for deep down. She was experiencing profound inner conflict while feeling lost about the future. The child within her brought an overwhelming sense of responsibility. In this world filled with desire and intricate relationships, her fate seemed tightly intertwined with Ling Na's.
Ling Xue softly replied while gazing determinedly out at the swiftly retreating scenery through the car window, "No matter how difficult this road may be, I must find a bright path for myself and my child."
"Yes, we cannot give up," Ling Na firmly grasped Ling Xue's hand as if seeking strength.
"We must work hard together—for our children, for our own future. There will always be a place for us in this world." Outside the car window, the city’s neon lights flickered, reflecting on their resolute faces.
