Lin Shuo continued, "When my wife becomes pregnant, I might leave, and it's hard to say when I'll return, maybe a few years, maybe longer."
"If Miss Feng can accept all these things I've said, then we shall marry."
"If Miss Feng wants to marry into the Marquis Mansion while harboring resentment, then there's no need. Although I can't give my wife passion, I don't want to become a pair of resentful companions with my lawfully wedded wife."
"My wife just needs to respect each other with me and treat each other with courtesy."
Feng Shuzhen felt she understood Mr. Lin's meaning — not to expect any affection from him. To him, a wife is just for carrying on the family line.
Feng Shuzhen thought again, isn't a wife supposed to be for carrying on the family line?
But, what girl doesn't dream of romance? Even with her strict upbringing, she would occasionally secretly fantasize about being loving with her future husband, just like in the plays.
