Chapter 1229: The woman who knows how to be charming has the best life.

Wang Xinling snuggled closer to Lin Lang, her nose brushing against the skin of his neck. His strong and warm embrace made her feel so at ease that she wanted to close her eyes and stay there forever.

"Honey," she suddenly spoke, her voice as soft as cotton candy, "do you think that after I have my baby, I can move into the Lin family villa with Senior Sister Chu Xia?"

"Of course you can." Lin Lang looked down at Wang Xinling, who was looking expectantly. Her eyelashes cast a light shadow in the warm light. He reached out and smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead, his fingertips tracing her smooth cheek.

Wang Xinling chuckled, reached out and hugged Lin Lang's waist, pressed her cheek against his warm chest, and listened to his steady heartbeat, as if listening to the most reassuring drumbeat.

"Then we won't take any precautions next time. We'll just let nature take its course and have the baby when we get pregnant," she muttered softly, a shy smile on her face.

Lin Lang's heart felt like it was hit lightly by something, and it went limp.

He tightened his arms, holding Wang Xinling even closer, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice low and gentle: "Okay, if you weren't afraid of getting pregnant, I wouldn't like using contraceptives."

"Honey, aren't you a fortune teller? So, is our baby a boy or a girl?" Wang Xinling raised her face, her eyes curving into crescents, filled with tiny sparkles of light.

Lin Lang replied mysteriously, "If I tell you the gender in advance, there won't be any surprise when you actually get pregnant, right?"

"But I'm really curious, what should I do?" Wang Xinling said coquettishly, shaking Lin Lang's arm.

"I won't tell you!" Lin Lang lowered his head and gently pecked Wang Xinling's lips.

The moment their lips touched, the sweetness in the air suddenly thickened, like an unmelting syrup, lingering in their hearts.

"No, honey, please tell me now!"

Faced with the extreme coquettishness of the Taiwanese accent, Lin Lang got goosebumps all over and could only laugh and reply, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, alright?"

"Then honey, hurry up and tell me!"

Wang Xinling looked impatient, her ears perked up, her big, bright eyes blinking as she stared at Lin Lang, her heart beating faster than usual.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of their breathing mingling together and the occasional rustling of leaves in the evening breeze outside the window.

Lin Lang replied as prompted by the system: "You will have a girl as our first child."

"Huh? No way?" Wang Xinling looked disappointed and almost cried.

Lin Lang asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, baby? Don't you like girls?"

Wang Xinling pouted and said weakly, "Did you just say that only by having a son can a mother gain status through her son? If I have a daughter, will I get a reward of 100 million?"

Lin Lang gently patted Wang Xinling's shoulder and comforted her with a smile, "Silly girl, even if you give birth to a daughter, you'll still get the 100 million reward in full. Is that alright?"

"Honey, you're so good to me! Hehe..." Wang Xinling playfully stuck out her tongue and smiled, then kissed Lin Lang's handsome profile.

"Little money-grubber, so you're after that hundred million yuan reward for having a son?" Lin Lang pinched Wang Xinling's cheek.

Wang Xinling's fingertips started to wander again, drawing circles on Lin Lang's chest, sliding from his Adam's apple to his collarbone, as she said coquettishly, "That's a hundred million!"

"Honey, you have no idea. I was born into an ordinary family in Hsinchu County, Taiwan. My family was not well-off before I debuted."

“My father was a soldier, and my mother was a resident singer at a folk song restaurant.”

"My parents divorced when I was in fourth grade, and my brother and I lived with our mother."

"After that, our family's financial situation became tight. At the most difficult time, we only had 100 yuan left. My mother, my younger brother, and I once shared a bento box."

"My mother works hard to make a living, and I also work during winter and summer vacations to supplement the family income."

"Later, I was admitted to Hwa Kang Arts School, and my mother even sold her car to raise the tuition fees."

"Although I'm famous now and have made some money, 100 million is an astronomical figure for me!"

“With this 100 million, I can bring my mother to live in Shanghai, and I can also help my younger brother financially. You don’t think I’m the kind of ‘brother-supporting demon’ that you hate, do you?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Lang hugged Wang Xinling even tighter, feeling sorry for her as she had also come from a difficult past. He then jokingly asked, "Oh? You even know the term 'brother-supporting demon'?"

Wang Xinling smiled sweetly, her eyes narrowed, "I've heard you say before that you don't like women who are 'brother-supporting demons' (women who prioritize their brothers' interests over their own).

Lin Lang replied gently, “The ‘brother-supporting demon’ I was referring to is someone who helps their younger brother without restraint, seriously affecting their own family’s life. You, on the other hand, just want to help your brother who has shared joys and sorrows with you as much as you can. Not only is there nothing wrong with that, but your filial piety and sense of responsibility are admirable.”

"Hehe... Thank you, honey, for understanding me."

Lin Lang casually asked, "How old is your brother-in-law this year? What's he studying?"

Wang Xinling proudly replied, "My younger brother's name is Wang Renyou. He is 21 years old this year. He has been studying hard since he was a child and has excellent academic performance. He is studying computer science at National Taiwan University."

After hearing this, Lin Lang said, "It just so happens that our Lin Group has successfully acquired TSMC. After my brother-in-law graduates from university, he can directly join the Taiwan branch."

"Of course, it would be even better if he wanted to develop his career in mainland China."

"He can choose any of the internet companies under the Lin Group. He can work at the grassroots level for a few years to accumulate experience, and then I will promote him to a department manager position. Around the age of 30, he can enter the company's senior management and steadily earn an annual salary of one million."

"My brother-in-law works under me, so he can live a life of comfort and ease. He can also often have family meals with you and your mother-in-law in Shanghai. Isn't that great!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinling's eyes lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed with a beaming smile, "Really?"

Lin Lang replied indulgently, "Of course it's true! I call it loving the house because of the house. Wouldn't it be foolish not to cling to the coattails of the world's richest brother-in-law?"

"Honey, you're so good to me! I'll tell my mom and brother the good news ahead of time!" Wang Xinling was overjoyed, her voice filled with excitement.

“Sure! Then once your brother-in-law graduates from university, you can bring him and your mother-in-law to live in Shanghai. Taiwan doesn’t have much development potential, but Shanghai is a world-class metropolis.”

"Mmm." Wang Xinling nodded, unable to hide her happiness.

"Honey, before I came to the mainland to develop my career, I thought the mainland economy was very backward. After I settled in the mainland, I realized that the music market on Taiwan Island is so small. I was really like a frog in a well."

Lin Lang said confidently, "In the future, the Hong Kong film market will decline and be completely replaced by mainland movie stars and fan economy, while the music and film market in Taiwan can only support small productions."

"Those big-budget films that can easily gross hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan at the box office all rely on the mainland market to recoup their costs."

“At that time, artists from Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island will rush to the mainland to make money. At that time, Taiwanese citizens who commute by motorcycle every day and Hong Kong citizens who live in cramped apartment buildings will not feel any sense of superiority.”

Wang Xinling snuggled closer to Lin Lang and said sweetly, "I don't care about others, I just like living in the mainland. As long as you stay in Shanghai, I will settle down in Shanghai for the rest of my life."

Lin Lang chuckled softly and kissed Wang Xinling's blushing face.

Wang Xinling said with a happy expression, "Honey, let me tell you something else. Have you written the title track for my next album yet?"

Lin Lang replied arrogantly, "Isn't that something that can be done in a minute? It's next year's business, why are you in such a hurry now!"

When the topic of work came up, Wang Xinling sat up straight, her hair slightly disheveled and draped over her shoulders. The blush on her cheeks hadn't faded, but she looked more serious.

"Honey, actually I wanted to try a different style of music,"

As she spoke, she gestured with her fingertips in the air, “The songs I sang before were too sweet. I wanted to add a touch of sexiness, like…like the evening breeze, a little warm and a little alluring.”

Looking at Wang Xinling's cute yet earnest appearance, Lin Lang felt his heart melt.

He reached out and pinched her cheek: "A touch of sexiness? Like... when you sing the chorus, add a breathy tone to the last note?"

Lin Lang imitated Wang Xinling's singing tune, humming a line softly, the last note drawn out, with a touch of lazy allure.

Wang Xinling's face flushed again. She reached out and covered his mouth, scolding him playfully, "You're so annoying! That's exactly how I feel! How do you understand me so well? You get it as soon as I tell you."

Lin Lang pulled Wang Xinling's hand down, kissed her palm, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Because I'm your husband, of course I understand your feelings."

His gaze was so intense that Wang Xinling felt a little embarrassed.

She looked at Lin Lang's face so close to hers, and saw herself clearly reflected in his eyes; her cheeks burned so hot they could fry an egg.

"Husband... what are you going to do again?" Her voice trembled slightly, but she didn't push Lin Lang away.

Lin Lang replied innocently, "I didn't mean to do anything. You're overthinking it."

"Tch! When you look at me with those lecherous eyes, you're just about to mess with me again." Wang Xinling's heart skipped a beat, and her breathing became a little rapid.

"Haha...Baby, you know me so well?" Lin Lang lowered his head and gently blew a breath into Wang Xinling's ear. The warm breath brushed against her earlobe, making her involuntarily shrink her neck.

"Because you're my husband, of course I know you!"

Lin Lang didn't say anything more. His kisses gently landed on Wang Xinling's fair neck, then on her earlobe, then on her cheek, and finally on her lips.

Lin Lang's kiss was not urgent, but slow and gentle, like spring rain nourishing the earth, seeping in little by little.

Wang Xinling closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She reached out and hugged Lin Lang's neck, responding to his kiss. The sweetness in the air intensified, carrying a slightly ambiguous stickiness that enveloped the two of them tenderly.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Lang finally pulled away from her lips, his forehead pressed against hers, their breaths mingling, carrying each other's warmth.

"Baby, didn't you want to have a son for me? Then let's start trying to make a baby now!" he asked softly, his voice tinged with amusement.

Wang Xinling shook her head, then nodded, and finally buried her face in his neck, saying in a muffled voice, "Ugh, didn't you just say that I was destined to give birth to your daughter?"

"I was saying your first child was a daughter and your second was a son," Lin Lang chuckled, the vibration of his chest resonating through Wang Xinling like a gentle resonance.

Wang Xinling was both surprised and delighted upon hearing this, and hurriedly asked softly, "Really?"
