Yin and Yang Lovers

  Sun Wen paused for a moment, then continued, "I think that the project I'm doing now is really too big and it's related to the future supply of new energy. To be honest, as scientific researchers and their families, we should receive national protection. There have been many cases of scientists being kidnapped by underworld organizations abroad, so I'm worried."

  "Why weren't the technical personnel in your unit protected?"

  "Because of our research, up until now, it's all been done by the institute itself. The director means to say," he lowered his voice and whispered in my ear, "if the country intervenes, we won't have the patent anymore. As soon as the final results come out, they'll be announced immediately, benefiting the entire nation. Our efforts will at most earn us an award. But if all the research stages are done by the institute, then the patent will be completely ours. The relationship is very important."

  I immediately understood, and without mentioning the reputation that this achievement can bring to them, even if they just sell the patent, it will also make their descendants worry-free for several decades - this is a great achievement related to people's livelihood.

  I frowned, "Your dean's idea is not right."

  He looked at me with some surprise. "You don't think it's right? If the country takes it away, our hard work of over a decade will be worthless! I still remember when we passed by Xiyue Garden last time, you were staring at the villas inside. As long as this research is done well, that villa won't be a problem. I'll give it to you as a gift. Besides, if we want kids in the future, we'll definitely need to move to a bigger place."

  "I don't want kids now." I was surprised by my own words, as we had discussed having children early on after getting married, since Sun Wen was already past the age of 30. And I myself really liked kids - in the past when I was with Ji Luan, every time he mentioned kids, he would say "three kids, can only be more, not less."

  I was just a little girl who had just turned twenty, and when he first said this to me, I was both shy and embarrassed. Later on, he kept saying it, and I gradually accepted the fact that we would jointly nurture our love crystal in the future. In the end, he always said that children are blessings, he loves kids, loves them to death, at least wants three of them.

  I was very angry at first, thinking he treated me as a child-bearing machine. However, after spending several years together, I found that he really likes children, whether it's friends' kids or relatives', he will patiently coax and take care of them, even the most mischievous ones, he is also very patient with them.

  This is something I never thought of, because Ji Luan looks like he's absolutely not a man who would spoil children.

  Later I became like him too. When we arrived at a place with children, it was the kingdom of children.

  But now I'm actually telling Sun Wen that I don't want kids.

  Sun Wen looked even more surprised than me, "You were just telling me to quit drinking a while back."

  I smiled weakly, "We're both just starting our careers now, having a kid two years later won't be a problem. Don't put too much pressure on yourself either. The house we live in now is already big enough, no need to move again anytime soon. Even if we have kids, it's not necessary."
