School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 421 - 422: Not Many Girls Can Resist His Face

"So what? Don’t you think such a marriage is very meaningless?"

Marriage is a lifelong commitment. How can you simply bind yourself to another person for the rest of your life just for the sake of benefits?

Jiang Shu’s gaze then fell on the stroller, "Even your pregnancy and childbirth couldn’t make him change his mind, which shows how little he likes you. I don’t understand—after all this, why can you still accept it?"

Shen Weiyi: "I indeed don’t like commercial marriages, but who made the partner him? I think there aren’t many girls in the world who could reject his face?"

"How can you be so superficial?" Jiang Shu looked at her disapprovingly with a cold face.

"How is this superficial?" Shen Weiyi laughed, "If we must find someone for an arranged marriage, why not choose someone we find appealing? Besides, don’t you like him because of his face too?"

"Of course not." The girl gave her a "I’m nothing like you" look.

"More than liking his face, I love the way he is serious in the lab. Nowadays, guys are too restless, only thinking about stepping into society early to make money, and very few are like him, truly settling down to do something meaningful and contribute to societal progression. He has dreams, goals, not like the others attending prestigious schools just to make a lot of money and live a good life. He could have easily not worked so hard, could have just gone home and taken over his family’s business, but he chooses to stay in the lab, repeating tedious experiments day after day." Speaking of this, Jiang Shu’s eyes couldn’t help revealing a mix of adoration and affection.

Shen Weiyi: ...

She actually wanted to say that Sheng Ting could settle down in the lab and concentrate on his experiments not only because he loved it but also because he didn’t need to worry about money.

Because his family supported him.

Others might not be able to concentrate on research not because they don’t love it, but perhaps because life compelled them.

After all, life is not a fairy tale. Sometimes, having dreams isn’t enough. Both the stars and the sea require tickets, and the costs for poetry and distance are also very expensive.

Not everyone can settle down and focus wholeheartedly on research.

But this girl, living in her ivory tower, obviously didn’t understand these things.

Of course, Sheng Ting’s perseverance in staying in the lab and focusing on his research for years is indeed admirable. The girl in front of him, wielding a halo and naive to the world, was understandably smitten.

So, Shen Weiyi didn’t feel very angry.

However, her husband was her own, and she had no plans to let anyone else have him.

She just found it a bit funny.

Shen Weiyi smiled sweetly at the girl in front of her: "You’re right, I also think he’s outstanding, handsome, and capable. Marrying him seems like a win-win for me."

The girl couldn’t help but choke.

Shen Weiyi continued: "It benefits the family and I get to marry someone who’s so excellent in every way. Isn’t that great? If it were someone else, they might not be half as good as him. With that being said, why would I leave him?"

"What about love? Even if he doesn’t love you, it doesn’t matter?" Jiang Shu still wouldn’t give up.

Although what the other said made sense, for a marriage between two people, shouldn’t love be the most important thing?

Faced with a lifetime with someone who doesn’t love her, she couldn’t imagine it.

All the while feeling terribly sorry for Sheng Ting.
