Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 639: Extra 15 Afraid of Having Children

Yu Zheng was in the study, frowning, when You Lifen knocked on the door. "Are you still working?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Yu Zheng closed his computer screen and pulled her into his arms, looking somewhat guilty. "There are some issues with the South Africa project. Zha Zhuoxin rushed over there last night, and I might have to go too."

"Is it serious? You also have to go to Spain next month... Flying all over the world is too exhausting." Most importantly, they had just gotten married. Was Gu Yikun even human? He was way too harsh on his subordinates!

Yu Zheng said, "It’s not really tiring; this level of work intensity is a minor matter. I’m more worried about you being alone at home."

You Lifen held his shoulders. "Do you really have to go?"

Yu Zheng felt deeply sorry for her. "Very likely. We’re waiting for the CEO’s arrangements... Fei Fei, I’ll make up the honeymoon to you."

You Lifen was unhappy. She wanted to act spoiled to make him stay but realized she was no longer just a girl; she was his wife and needed to support his career.

She said dejectedly, "Alright, I’ll wait for you at home."

Yu Zheng carried her back to the bedroom. "Fei Fei, you’re being very understanding. That’s good."

You Lifen hung onto him. "Wasn’t I understanding before?"

Yu Zheng placed her on the bed, but You Lifen wanted to get off. "I don’t want to sleep yet."

Yu Zheng stopped her. "If you don’t want to sleep, we can do something else." If he really had to fly to South Africa, they wouldn’t see each other for a month.

He couldn’t bear to leave his newlywed wife, but he couldn’t let Zha Zhuoxin face Yin Feibai alone in South Africa.

You Lifen was frightened by him. She was already halfway off the bed when Yu Zheng pulled her back, his eyes catching something on the floor.

He picked it up and, with just one look, his expression changed, his voice turning cold. "You’re still taking birth control pills?"

His gaze made her panic. You Lifen guiltily looked at her makeup bag. Yu Zheng understood and reached for it.

You Lifen snatched it away. "You can’t look!"

Her reaction confirmed Yu Zheng’s suspicion. He looked at her indifferently. "Do you remember what you promised me?"

You Lifen lowered her head. Of course she remembered, which was why she was secretly taking contraceptives.

Yu Zheng was filled with anger. He didn’t want to lash out at her. "I’ll go to the study. Since you’re so afraid of getting pregnant, we’ll sleep in separate rooms from now on. I won’t touch you."

You Lifen hugged him from behind. "No, you can’t leave me, Yu Zheng. It’s only the first day of our marriage. How can you do this to me?"

Yu Zheng was furious. He was angry that she didn’t take care of her own body. Hadn’t she worried about the side effects of those pills?

"You Lifen, if I hadn’t found out, would you have kept taking those pills all along?"

"I..."

Yu Zheng pushed her hands away. "Fei Fei, if you consider me your husband, you would discuss these things with me instead of acting without considering the consequences!"

You Lifen clung tightly to his clothes. "I was afraid to tell you. I don’t want children. Can you accept not having children?"

Yu Zheng was silent as he walked out. "We both need to calm down. Go to bed early. I’ll be in the study."

He really left, leaving her alone in the bedroom.

The door closed, and You Lifen fell onto the bed, covering her face and crying. "I’m afraid of having children, Yu Zheng. I’m scared to end up like Mom."

If something happened to her during childbirth, would he and the child be happy?

The closed door muffled her voice, and Yu Zheng in the study heard nothing.

He was furious without a way to vent. He could understand if she wanted to focus on her career and postpone having children, but to never want kids and secretly taking birth control pills, that he couldn’t accept.

This was her questioning their marriage. If she didn’t want to start a family, why did she marry him?
