Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: I Will Definitely Help You Have a Son

After saying that, he glanced at his watch, "Mr. Lin, do you have time now? Manager Zhao is in the office, and it’s about time. I’ll go inform Manager Zhao now, let’s have a meal together. Manager Zhao would definitely be delighted to know you’re here today."

However, Lin Chuxia didn’t know how Manager Zhao would feel about seeing her, and she didn’t want to have dinner with Yang Rui at all.

"Sorry, I am busy today."

"Is that so? Then never mind, I’ll give you the membership card first, and next time you come, you must show us your grace."

Yang Rui took out a membership card from his suit pocket and handed it over with both hands.

Lin Chuxia took it without refusing and looked at it.

"15% off membership card, the discount rate is the same across the Department Store..."

"Not at all," Yang Rui smiled and explained, "Mr. Lin, the one you’re holding is the highest-discount card. A regular member gets 5% off, a senior member gets 10% off, and only VIP members get 15% off. Manager Yang has already said that next time Mr. Lin comes, you should definitely become our Department Store’s 15% discount VIP member."

"Thank you very much."

Seeing that Sun Lanlan had already come out in her new outfit, Lin Chuxia and Yang Rui nodded to each other and approached Sun Lanlan.

"How about it? Does it look good?"

Sun Lanlan tugged at her clothes, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Lin Chuxia gave a thumbs up directly, "Extremely beautiful, with this elegance, totally manager level."

"Why don’t you try one on for yourself, you are the manager after all."

"Sure, I like that silver-grey one."

Lin Chuxia also picked a set, and pushed Sun Lanlan towards another counter.

"Go check out that red dress; I think it suits you perfectly. Wear it on your wedding and I guarantee it’ll knock Old Su dead."

Though the last sentence was spoken softly, Sun Lanlan blushed and protested, "Stop it, no more of that."

Despite her complaints, her eyes glittered upon seeing that dress.

Glancing at the price tag she hesitated a bit, "Over 30 yuan, clothes at the Department Store are expensive and you can’t even bargain."

Lin Chuxia waved her membership card, "Who says you can’t bargain? 15% off."

"Where did you get this membership card?"

Their Bun Shop often held various promotional events, so Sun Lanlan was already familiar with words like membership discounts.

"Don’t worry about it, let’s go all out shopping today."

Sun Lanlan nodded vehemently, thrilled about having scored a big advantage today at 15% off.

The two were in great spirits as they picked out clothes, occasionally trying on outfits they liked.

On the other side, Yang Rui turned his head and saw an alert Tang Lili.

"Who is that woman?"

From afar, Tang Lili saw Yang Rui chatting and laughing joyfully with a woman, almost grinning from ear to ear. She rushed over but it was already too late.

She could only see the woman having a graceful figure, looking quite young. Even as the woman walked away, Yang Rui was still smiling stupidly at her departing figure.

"No one, just an old customer I knew," Yang Rui gave a brief explanation because of the last incident.

Tang Lili did not believe it at all, but she also knew that asking further would yield nothing more.

So she changed her tone, "Brother Yang, are you free tonight? It’s been a long time since you visited my place, and I even bought your favorite soy beef yesterday..."

"Lili, I really can’t get away these days, you know Jiajia is sick, I need to go back..."

Yang Rui didn’t finish his sentence before Tang Lili’s face changed. "Jiajia, Jiajia, you really treat her like a daughter held in the palm of your hand? Don’t forget what you initially told me."

This was still the department store, and Yang Rui, fearing she might make a scene, quickly pulled her into the office.

As soon as Tang Lili entered the office, she shook off his hand and crossed her arms, questioning him.

"When that woman was pregnant, you said you feared it would affect your future and did not want to divorce her. Now their child is already a month old, how long do you expect me to wait? Wasn’t it agreed? You divorce her, then I will give birth to a son for you."

Seeing Yang Rui’s hesitation, she stepped forward and embraced his waist, her voice becoming much softer.

"Brother Yang, are you really willing to let me keep waiting? That old woman is so dull, I feel sorry for you living with her. Before, it was just you earning money to support the two of you, now it’s you alone supporting a family of three. If I don’t care for you, who will? Besides, why are you working so hard out there? Now that woman has cut off your lineage, not even bearing you a son..."

"Lili, stop talking..."

At the mention of a son, a strange look flashed through Yang Rui’s eyes.

He had originally planned to break things off with Tang Lili as soon as the child was born, but unexpectedly, his wife gave birth to a daughter.

With family planning being strictly enforced, and him being a formal employee, having a second child would jeopardize his job.

But just as Tang Lili said, what was all his hard work and struggle for if not for the Yang Family?

If his lineage were to end with him, no matter how successful he was, how could he face his parents and elders?

"Brother Yang, I am truly doing all this for your sake. You know our family has secrets for having sons. My parents wanted a daughter after having my three older brothers, which is why I was born. I will definitely help you have a son."

Tang Lili said this as she tiptoed up and kissed the man’s lips.

And her last sentence completely stirred the man’s nerves.

Faced with the temptation presented right in front of him, Yang Rui responded unreservedly, yet his mind was calculating his own affairs.

Manager Zhao’s annual meeting commendation by the city committee leaders would not have been possible without Mr. Lin’s contribution.

Recently, Manager Zhao had been mentioning her, wanting to discuss business secrets with her again.

Just that last time was a fluke encounter, and it was even said that Mr. Lin wasn’t in this city anymore, so he had to let it go.

Unbelievably lucky, Mr. Lin happened to come to the Department Store to shop and he ran into her.

If he could make this happen, he could even get promoted from his current director position.

At that point, he could raise the issue of divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Now holding the procurement channels of the Department Store, with a significant position, who could fault him?

After the divorce, marrying Tang Lili and having a son with her would complete his life.

..........

Chuxia and Lanlan shopped for an entire day, and when they sat on the bus back to Ancheng County, each had two large bags in their hands, their faces displaying satisfied smiles.

"Xiaxia, I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. Really, having money is great."

Chuxia chuckled, a fact she had realized in her previous life.

But...

"It’s not just about having money, right? I didn’t see you this happy when I paid you your salary before."

She glanced at Lanlan’s bag, which contained not only her own items but also a set of men’s clothes.

Lanlan stubbornly retorted, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Besides, I just saw you buying things for your Qin Yang and helped myself a little, so what? You can buy things for your Qin Yang but I can’t help myself?"

"Alright, alright, whatever you say," Chuxia responded, not arguing, but her face was full of teasing.
