"You shouldn’t negate all men just because of Shi Yu. Besides, IVF is quite painful. Are you really sure about this?"
Manman chimed in with more criticism, "Also, with IVF, you don’t even know who the father is. What if he turns out to be ugly or short and round? And what if the child inherits his genes? You’ll have nowhere to cry then."
Actually, Manman wasn’t exaggerating. No one really knows how sperm donors look like.
Chu Ci’s nail-polished fingers gently rubbed the transparent glass, her expression slightly complicated, "Then... I’ll find a tall, rich, and handsome guy to borrow some genes." The rıghtful source is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
"Chu Ci, are you having a moment of insanity? Why insist on ditching men but wanting a child? Moreover, which tall and handsome guy would let you borrow his genes?"
Manman rattled off, her gaze fixed on Chu Ci as if she were some alien creature.
Chu Ci shrugged helplessly, "Actually, just tall and handsome would do. I can’t even spend all my money, and borrowing genes isn’t the same as marrying someone. Whether he has money or not doesn’t really affect me."
"Chu Ci, this is a big deal. Are you really going to do this?"
Han Xi originally thought Chu Ci was the strongest and most rational among the three of them, but this time it seemed like she was really deeply hurt.
"Yes, it’s a decision I’ve carefully considered. Okay, you guys stop worrying about me. We were just talking about your wedding, why did it suddenly switch to me?"
Chu Ci picked up the juice on the table, a gentle smile gracing her red lips, "Wishing our Xiao Xi and Lu Jinghan happiness forever."
Manman and Han Xi raised their glasses as well, "The three of us must all be happy."
In the next room, Fu Bin raised an eyebrow at Feng Yi and Lu Jinghan, a teasing smile on his lips, "Do you want to go over and say hello to your wives and girlfriends?"
Lu Jinghan picked up the glass of plain water on his right, took a sip, "They’re having a girlfriends’ gathering, so let’s not disturb them."
After dinner and sending Han Xi back to the hospital, Chu Ci and Manman went shopping.
When the staff at the boutique saw Chu Ci, they were so excited they nearly jumped. Although their store often had celebrities buying clothes, it was the first time they’d seen a goddess like Chu Ci.
"We really like you, Chu Ci, especially your movies. Could you sign an autograph for us?" A few employees asked happily but cautiously.
Chu Ci smiled gracefully, "Sure." She took a pen and gracefully wrote her name.
The employees held Chu Ci’s autograph like a rare treasure, happily whispering among themselves.
Manman really thought these obsessive fans were hopeless. It’s just a few words, is it necessary to smile like idiots?
Manman pulled Chu Ci towards the window display, "I think this dress suits you. It’s perfect for Xiao Xi’s wedding. Want to try it on?"
Chu Ci also thought it was nice. She turned to the staff and smiled, "Could you please bring me that dress to try on?"
"Sure, please wait a moment."
The staff brought the dress over to Chu Ci, smiling like a fangirl, "This dress is new this season, and it’s a limited edition. It just arrived yesterday."
Han Xi took the dress to the fitting room while Manman continued selecting, "Help me take out this red one to try on."
"Okay." With that, the staff went to the back room to get the dress.
