She said, “We're not right for each other.”
He said, “I'm 28, and you're 21. What's 28 minus 21?”
She said, “Seven.”
He said, “Exactly. It means you're my wife. We're a perfect match.”
She said, “There are too many women who want to be Mrs. Jiang. I'll drown in all the gossip.”
He said, “Anyone who dares talk about you will drown in her own gossip.”
She pushed open the door and announced, “Idol, I want to have your babies!”
He raised an eyebrow. “Sure. Let's get started. Lin, call the civil affairs bureau and book an appointment.”
When Shen Xi got pregnant, Jiang's father said, “It's a little princess.” Jiang's mother said, “No, it's a little prince.” Whoever guessed wrong would buy Xi Xi an apartment, and they'd happily honor the bet. When Shen Xi gave birth, Jiang Shujin cried his eyes out, then went and got a vasectomy. Later, Shen Xi ended up with two apartments because she had twins, a boy and a girl.
No melodrama, no angst, no rivalry between women. It's funny and lighthearted, with mutual devotion and a sweet romance that leads to marriage and children.
Shen Xi, the warm and funny heroine, and Jiang Shujin, a gentleman to the world but a scheming rogue at home.
