Discussing Getting Married with Xu Mengyao!

Xu Mengyao said, "Qian Qian, be good. Mommy's been very busy lately. I came to see you, but I'll have to leave again soon."

Lin Xiaoqian said unhappily, "Mommy, are you leaving again soon? Qian Qian misses Mommy so, so much."

Lin Chen opened the door.

Xu Mengyao carried Lin Xiaoqian inside, and Lin Chen took a pair of slippers out of the shoe cabinet for her.

"Qian Qian, go play by yourself for a while. Mommy and Daddy need to talk."

Xu Mengyao said as she set Lin Xiaoqian down.

"Mommy, are you and Daddy going to kiss?"

Xu Mengyao said, "..."

"Lin Chen, come here."

Xu Mengyao went into the study, and Lin Chen followed her in. Xu Mengyao said, "Lin Chen, the rent here isn't cheap. Your salary isn't high, so you probably haven't saved much either."

"Why didn't you take that sixty thousand?"

Lin Chen said, "Xiaoqian is my daughter too. It's only right that I give her better conditions. There's no need to take your money. I can afford to raise her."

Xu Mengyao frowned.

In her eyes, Lin Chen was trying to keep up appearances.

"Lin Chen, you've put in the effort to care for her, and I have money. It's only right that I give you some living expenses."

"Moving here really has made things much better for Qian Qian. How about I raise it to fifty thousand a month?"

Xu Mengyao asked.

Lin Chen frowned slightly. "It's not that I think you're giving too little. Twenty thousand a month is already a lot for living expenses."

"I really do have money myself."

As he spoke, Lin Chen took out his phone and opened a bank text message.

He had filled up the tank on his way back and spent four hundred. The message showed that he still had more than 1.4 million left.

Childlike Heart Network had already transferred him the three hundred thousand for the first print run.

The royalties from the first print run were 1.35 million. Added to the tens of thousands he already had, he had more than 1.4 million in total.

"You won the lottery?"

Xu Mengyao asked in surprise.

Lin Chen said, "..."

"Can't this money be something I earned myself?"

Xu Mengyao asked doubtfully, "I looked into you before bringing Qian Qian over. Before you got laid off, you only made a few thousand a month."

Lin Chen smiled faintly. "Who doesn't have a few secrets? I never knew you were actually an heiress either."

"Xiaoqian said you even have a private jet?"

Xu Mengyao said, "I bought it while I was pregnant. Flying commercial while carrying a big belly was inconvenient, and after Qian Qian was born, flying with a child was even more inconvenient."

"So I bought a small business jet."

Lin Chen nodded. "That really is much more convenient. Take the sixty thousand with you when you leave."

"You saw it just now. I have no problem raising Xiaoqian."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

With more than a million in Lin Chen's account, he really had enough to spend.

"Xu Mengyao, there's something I want to discuss with you. If you marry someone else in the future, let Xiaoqian stay with me."

Lin Chen said.

Xu Mengyao hurriedly said, "No. Qian Qian is mine."

Lin Chen said, "Don't get worked up. If you don't get married, then there won't be an issue. But if you marry someone else, would it really be good for Xiaoqian to stay with you?"

"If Xiaoqian stays with me, I'll take care of her wholeheartedly."

Xu Mengyao frowned. "And if Xiaoqian stays with you, what happens when a stepmom comes along? Isn't that the same thing?"

Lin Chen shook his head. "It's different. It doesn't matter if men marry later, but women's ideal marriageable age is much younger."

"We can revise the terms too. Whoever gets married first loses custody of Xiaoqian to the other party. How about that? It would be better for Xiaoqian this way."

Xu Mengyao nodded. "Fine."

"You'll never get custody anyway. I have no plans to get married."

Lin Chen said, "Are you sure you have no plans to get married?"

"Of course."

"Having Qian Qian is enough for me."

Xu Mengyao said calmly.

Lin Chen smiled. "Xu Mengyao, since you don't have such plans, why don't we get married?"

"Hm?"

Xu Mengyao's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Lin Chen said, "Qian Qian is already starting to understand things. It wouldn't be good for her to know that we had her without getting married."

"Other children are the crystallization of their parents' love, while she was an accident. Do you think that might hurt her?"

Xu Mengyao pondered it.

Lin Chen said, "Don't worry. Even if we get married, you'll be you and I'll be me. I won't take a cent of your assets. We can have it notarized at the Notary Office."

"Your property after marriage will still be yours."

Xu Mengyao considered it for a while before saying, "You have a point. Qian Qian is more sensible than most children her age."

Lin Chen said, "It's just getting married on paper. Nothing will change. If you don't plan to marry anyone, it won't affect you."

"Oh, and Xiaoqian was making things up when she said I missed you. I think she might have already noticed something."

Xu Mengyao remained silent.

She had originally planned never to get married for the rest of her life.

But getting married to Lin Chen would indeed be better for Lin Xiaoqian.

"I have no problem with it."

"Like you said, we'll get it notarized first, then get married."

Xu Mengyao said.

Her family had far too much money, so they definitely had to be careful about this.

"No problem."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Xu Mengyao said, "If you fall for some girl and want to pursue her, bring up divorce before you do anything. If you cheat during the marriage, it'll have a considerable impact on me."

"You too?"

Lin Chen asked.

Xu Mengyao nodded. "Of course."

Lin Chen smiled. "Then there's no problem. That's fair enough."

"When are you free?"

Xu Mengyao thought for a moment. "I'll have Shen Qing come look after Qian Qian. Bring your household register and come with me this afternoon. Once I go home and get mine, we can go take care of it."

"Alright."

Lin Chen nodded.

After reaching an agreement, the two of them went outside.

Lin Xiaoqian was alone on the balcony, practicing writing.

Xu Mengyao walked over.

"Mommy, look. Daddy taught me how to write this. Qian Qian can already write her own name."

Lin Xiaoqian said in her sweet childish voice.

Xu Mengyao was a little surprised. Lin Xiaoqian's writing was quite good.

"Qian Qian, did Daddy write this?"

Xu Mengyao picked up a sheet of paper beside her. It was filled with characters Lin Chen had written after reaching Master level calligraphy.

Every character was a pleasure to look at.

"Yep."

"Daddy is amazing."

"Daddy teaches me to write, teaches me to draw, teaches me to play soccer, teaches me to sing, and Daddy even teaches me English."

Lin Xiaoqian said with a face full of admiration.

Xu Mengyao felt a little jealous. Lin Xiaoqian had never admired her this much.

She had taught Lin Xiaoqian those things too.

Lin Chen said, "Mengyao, are you and Shen Qing staying for lunch? There aren't any vegetables left in the fridge, so I'll go buy some."

Xu Mengyao froze.

Lin Chen had actually called her Mengyao.

But Xu Mengyao quickly realized that Lin Chen was probably calling her that because Lin Xiaoqian was nearby.

"Let's eat out together."

"Don't trouble yourself."

Xu Mengyao shook her head.

Lin Xiaoqian said, "Mommy, I don't want to eat out. Daddy's food is tastier than restaurant food."

Lin Chen smiled. "I'll go buy some vegetables. I didn't know you were coming, so there's only enough food at home for Xiaoqian and me."

"Mm."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

After Lin Chen left, Xu Mengyao tapped Lin Xiaoqian on the forehead. "You little ingrate. Mommy has taken care of you for so long, yet you take your daddy's side more."

Lin Xiaoqian looked at her mother in confusion.

"Mommy, I don't."

"I love Mommy the most, the most."

Lin Xiaoqian hugged Xu Mengyao and kissed her.

"Mommy, did Daddy kiss you?"

Xu Mengyao said, "..."
