Chapter 784 - 421: Crisis and Opportunity (Part 3)

Arguing, quarreling, never-ending.

Under the monogamous system, constrained by social moral ethics and the inherent possessiveness in relationships, even someone as strong as Li Peifeng finds it excruciatingly difficult to establish intimate relationships with multiple girls.

Even if in the near future, Li Peifeng officially registers with Wu, Xu, and Huang, the conflicts among them will not cease, and such disputes seem endless.

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight. Li Peifeng doesn’t feel he’s wasting his life; he sees it as a challenge in his own life.

The destined limitations may always exist, but the unyielding challenge cannot be absent for even a moment!

Li Peifeng is confident that he will one day make the girls around him accept each other and reach a reconciliation. This might take three to five years, or maybe three to five decades, until their hair turns gray, but that day will come.

Moreover, optimistically, perhaps once a few of the girls successively become pregnant and have children, playing the role of mothers, their personalities will mature and soften, improving their relationships significantly.

This is the conclusion Li Peifeng has drawn from his experiences in Shared Dream, and the same developments should occur in reality. However, having children is not as simple as in a dream; it’s a challenge that both husband and wife must tackle together.

In reality, during the ten-month pregnancy, expectant mothers suffer greatly, and expectant fathers who take care of them suffer too. During pregnancy, the expectant mother is not just an expectant mother; she’s also the living ancestor of the expectant father.

And Li Peifeng is destined to be quite fortunate, because in the not too distant future, he might have more than one living ancestor.

Interestingly, the task of taking care of pregnant women and raising children is something that his mother-in-law, Yu Huizhi, should help with. However, she herself becomes pregnant and needs Li Qiyuan’s care, and in the future, she will also have to take care of Li Peifeng’s sister, her own daughter. Therefore, the challenges Li Peifeng will face in the future are bound to be extremely difficult.

"Don’t you feel tired? I’m really fed up."

After Huang Tianxuan left, only Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge were left in the villa. The latter was no longer angry, just helplessly expressing her current thoughts. Li Peifeng gently comforted her, and with their mutual understanding, he successfully persuaded Zhao Qingge to join him in watching stars at the observatory within half a minute.

It was the night of the second day after Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge’s wedding. The courtyard was dappled with tree shadows, the crickets chirped incessantly, the sky was like a black curtain studded with sparkling stars, and everything was beautiful.

Having reconciled another conflict, Li Peifeng still believed the future was promising. He selectively forgot about the hardships of being a son before becoming a father and optimistically stated that everything after the five-way relationship would be easy.

However, time, neither fast nor slow, would certainly present him with a significant challenge.

It might not appear within one or two months, nor in three or four months.

But at the year’s end, the cold winter, accompanied by wind and snow, and crisis, would come silently, even though the bleak winter harbored new hopes and vitality.

...

"Be careful, don’t get hit."

"Alright, run quickly!"

"Shoo~ Boom~~"

On the afternoon of December 28th, the sun was shining brightly. In the Binhai International District of Ningyuan City, a few patches of dark ice remained on the roads, the landscaped garden belt was piled with thick snow, trees on both sides were decorated with lanterns and streamers, children in the community were setting off firecrackers or building snowmen amid the revelry, adding to the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Even those far from home would return to their hometowns for this important festival, and Li Peifeng was no exception.

Even though he has a new family after marrying Zhao Qingge, he still has to return home for the New Year, not to mention that Li Peifeng is still counting on his parents to help him continue building his new family...

After parking the car downstairs, Zhao Qingge, in the passenger seat, suddenly said calmly;

"During the New Year, you’d better not make me unhappy, and don’t annoy your parents either."

"Don’t worry, I won’t."

Li Peifeng chuckled, "Shall we go upstairs?"

Zhao Qingge glanced at him without saying a word, got out of the car, took out the gifts they had bought earlier from the back seat, and walked toward the staircase.

Today, she was wearing a black vintage plaid coat and knee-high boots, exuding a strong presence, her face showing an expression of detachment that warned others to keep away, obviously holding some emotions within.

But Li Peifeng tried to please her, and as the two fell into silence in the elevator, he proactively and caringly asked, "Honey, are you still feeling carsick?"

Zhao Qingge frowned slightly, not responding until the elevator doors opened and she saw Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi came out to greet them. Only then did she smile, "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year."

"Qingge, come in quickly, it’s cold outside!"

Yu Huizhi smiled broadly, instantly linking arms with Zhao Qingge and trying to take the gift box from her.

Li Qiyuan also reached out, giving Li Peifeng a glare and criticizing, "Why are you still letting her carry things?"

"I couldn’t free my hands, and besides, she only carried two bags of milk powder, which are very light."

The elderly couple disregarded their son’s explanation, showing warm yet cautious kindness towards Zhao Qingge, as if she were a little baby who couldn’t walk.

All this was because there was indeed a little baby growing in Zhao Qingge’s belly.

It’s been half a year since she and Li Peifeng got married, and having a child now seemed a bit early, but considering Zhao Qingge’s current age, it wasn’t early at all.
