I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams-Chapter 58: No Descendants

At that moment, Chen Ning didn’t overthink it. He excitedly ran to a flower shop, bought a bouquet of red roses, and drove to Zhang Yueyue’s house.

Mrs. Zhang opened the door, and the moment she saw Chen Ning, she immediately tried to drive him away.

"Ma’am, Ma’am! Please calm down. I’m here to ask for Yueyue’s hand in marriage. She already accepted my proposal."

Chen Ning hurriedly said, "I did a lot of terrible things to Yueyue in the past, but I know I was wrong now. I’ve divorced my ex-wife and I’m ready to marry Yueyue. It doesn’t even matter if she can’t have children. I love her for who she is."

Mrs. Zhang said furiously, "You man of endless lies, get the hell out of here! Hasn’t my Yueyue suffered enough because of you? And now you want to come and ruin her life again!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhang swung a mop at Chen Ning’s face. He dodged while shouting, "Jiaojiao, it’s me! I’m here for you, come on out!"

At his shouts, Zhang Yueyue walked out of her room.

She looked as if she had dressed up meticulously. Her ink-black hair was pinned up, her makeup was glamorous, and a fiery red dress outlined her perfect figure.

A smile played on her red lips as she walked toward Chen Ning, step by step.

"Yueyue..."

For a moment, Chen Ning was completely captivated. ’She’s so beautiful!’

’I can’t believe so many years have passed. She’s even more stunning than before.’

Mrs. Zhang was about to stop her daughter, afraid she would be hurt again, but Zhang Yueyue shook her head at her mother and walked up to Chen Ning.

Chen Ning held out the roses. "Yueyue, you look so beautiful today..."

Before he could finish, a slap landed across his face. Chen Ning was completely stunned. He didn’t understand why.

Zhang Yueyue said with disgust, "Chen Ning, you scumbag!"

As if he’d realized something, Chen Ning asked urgently, "Yueyue, did Li Xiaomu tell you something?"

’That woman must have said something to Zhang Yueyue. Otherwise, why would she suddenly change her tune? She accepted my proposal just yesterday and even got all dressed up this morning!’

Zhang Yueyue replied, "That’s right. Li Xiaomu told me everything a long time ago. For the past two days, I’ve just been playing along with your little act. You had fun, didn’t you? It’s wonderful. You made me infertile back then, and now you’re suffering the same fate."

Chen Ning stumbled back a few steps in disbelief. "You..."

Zhang Yueyue clutched her stomach, doubled over with laughter. "HAHAHA, you never saw this coming, did you? Look at you now! Played like a fiddle by two women."

"You two were in on this together from the start!" Chen Ning stared at Zhang Yueyue, his eyes wide.

"So what if we were? You got what you deserved!" Zhang Yueyue’s smile vanished, her beautiful face now colder than ice. "A scumbag like you deserves to die old and alone! And don’t you dare say again that it doesn’t matter if we don’t have children! Mom, show him out! I never want to see this disgusting piece of trash ever again!"

After saying this, Zhang Yueyue turned and went back to her room.

"Did you hear her? Get out!" Mrs. Zhang raised the mop to chase him out again. Furious, Chen Ning threw the flowers on the ground and left.

When he got home, he told his family how the two women had teamed up to make a fool of him.

After hearing the story, his father returned to his room without a word. His mother immediately flew into a rage and started cursing, and his younger sister joined in.

As they cursed, the two women ended up hugging each other and wailing.

"This is karma! It’s truly karma!"

His younger sister said, "That Zhang Yueyue is so ungrateful! She’s infertile. If she doesn’t marry into our family, what other family would even want her? Brother, Mom, don’t be sad. Worst case, we’ll just find a divorcée for him later. Divorced women nowadays aren’t any worse than first-timers. They’re not as picky and high-maintenance as young girls. A divorcée knows how to take care of a man!"

Chen Ning couldn’t listen anymore and went back to his room.

’If it doesn’t work out, then forget it. What era is this anyway? All that stuff about spirits and ghosts must be a lie!’

Even now, he still didn’t think he was the one at fault. ’What man isn’t a little unfaithful? And aren’t abortions pretty normal? It’s those women who are too dramatic! So what if something went wrong with the abortion? What does that have to do with me!’

A few more years passed. Chen Ning dated several girlfriends in a row, but none of them could get pregnant with his child.

Although he thought that way, reality was cruel. His mother urged him to find a wife quickly and also told his sister to have a few children for him to adopt.

Left with no other choice, Chen Ning picked a childless divorcée from the marriage candidates his mother had found for him.

’I heard she’s infertile, which is perfect for our family.’ 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Two months later, the two held a simple wedding. A year after that, his sister gave birth to a boy, who was adopted by Chen Ning’s family.

Strangely, the boy, who had been bright, suddenly became slow-witted two months after joining their family.

His mother consulted several fortune-tellers for him, and they all said that Chen Ning was fated to be childless. Even if he adopted a child, the child would not survive.

His new wife couldn’t stand it and divorced him.

His mother didn’t give up. Another year, his sister gave birth to a daughter who was also adopted by them. The family raised the girl until she was three, but then she passed away from an illness.

Later, Chen Ning adopted another child from an orphanage, but that child also died before growing up.

After that, the family finally gave up all hope. Only then did Chen Ning begin to feel regret.

’If I had known this would happen, I should have taken my relationships seriously back then. I shouldn’t have made Yueyue abort our baby when she was already several months pregnant. The induced baby was even a boy. If that child hadn’t been aborted, he would probably be in elementary school by now!’

He was consumed by remorse, but it was too late. He would never have a child of his own in this lifetime. Once his parents passed away, he would be truly alone.

「Back to the present.」

After being studied at a hospital for several days, Jin Fan was finally discharged.

On the first day after his discharge, he went straight to Longfeng Villa to express his thanks. As a gift, he brought along designer bags and high-end clothing that girls tend to like.

He rang the doorbell at the gate for a long time, but she didn’t come out. He called her and found out that Shen Zhiyao had gone out to pick up a package.

"I haven’t changed the password, so just let yourself in. I’ll be there in about ten minutes. Oh, and don’t go into the basement," Shen Zhiyao instructed Jin Fan.

Jin Fan agreed and used the password to open the gate.

He sat on the sofa for two minutes before getting bored. Shen Zhiyao’s warning kept replaying in his mind: "Don’t go into the basement!"

Jin Fan’s rebellious streak immediately kicked in. ’Why can’t I go? Could there be some kind of treasure in the basement that she doesn’t want me to see?’

The slap Shen Zhiyao had given him on the chest at the hospital was still fresh in his memory. It made him even more curious. ’How does one even cultivate? Could I have the opportunity to become a cultivator too?’

’This is usually how the plot goes in novels. The male lead stumbles into a sacred cultivation ground, obtains Spiritual Energy, and starts his life on easy mode.’

’What if I’m the male protagonist of the story? My winding, convoluted life is just like that of a novel’s hero!’

At this thought, Jin Fan started to get excited.

’The chance to start my life on easy mode is right in front of me! How could I possibly give it up?’

He leaped up from the sofa and made a beeline for the basement.
