The Celibate Buddhist Heir Has No Descendants? The Poor Little Thing’s Pregnancy Sickness Has Him Spoiling Her Like Crazy

Marriage Before Love + Sweet Romance + Both Pure + Age Gap + Possessiveness Li Jingshen, head of the capital’s top wealthy family, the Li family, was decisive and ruthless, and kept women at arm’s length. He wore a string of Buddhist prayer beads year-round, earning him the nickname “the Ascetic Buddha” in business circles. Si Nian’s parents had both died. She was living with her aunt’s family along with her younger brother, who was seriously ill. Her uncle had designs on her, so she worked herself to the bone to earn money for medical bills.

Don’t abort the baby, and don’t divorce me.” From then on, the ascetic Buddha devoted himself to spoiling his wife. “Wife, we’re not having any more children. Never again.” But a few years later, Si Nian looked down at her swollen belly and shouted at the man washing baby bottles, “Li Jingshen, you bastard…”
