Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Although Jin Nian wasn’t injured, Lu An was still uneasy. He was afraid that such a situation would happen one day. “What can I do to make you quit this lousy job?”

Jin Nian had just solved the company’s problem. Before she could be happy, her face darkened and she asked coldly, “What lousy job?”

Lu An instantly realized that he had said something wrong. He was afraid that he would make Jin Nian angry, so he simply shut his mouth and didn’t say anything.

He couldn’t win against Jin Nian, and he didn’t want to argue with her. Even if he did, it would be meaningless. Once she got angry, he would only feel sorry for himself.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of her pregnancy hormones, but Jin Nian refused to let it go. She chased after Lu An and said, “Are you looking down on my job? I understand that 1 can’t create billions of dollars in wealth and can’t compare to those projects that cost hundreds of millions in your hands. But even if my work is insignificant to you, it’s still meaningful to me!”

Jin Nian knew very well that after she married Lu An, she could choose to live like a rich lady. She could drink afternoon tea every day, find a few friends to go shopping and do beauty treatments. The money Lu An earned could allow her to squander without any scruples, but Jin Nian felt that kind of life was not what she wanted.

She could rely on Lu An, but she didn’t want to become Lu An’s accessory. She wanted to have her own job, her own career, and her own social circle.

Jin Nian had a happy family and had always wanted to have a child of her own. At the same time, she also wanted to have her own career. No matter how good her career was, she would always be a mother who could make her child proud in the future.

She didn’t want everyone to know that she was Lu An’s wife but forgot her own name when others asked about her in the future.

It seemed that in the eyes of many people, women were unable to balance their family and career. Having children would more or less hinder a woman’s career. What a cruel and realistic problem. Although everyone advocated equality between men and women, society was not friendly to women.

Most companies and enterprises felt that pregnant women could no longer create value. Pregnant women would affect the quality of their work. Most importantly, after giving birth, women would have to focus on their families for a long time. Therefore, many companies avoided married women who were not pregnant. They were afraid that they would waste time and occupy the company’s resources if they got pregnant and had children.

Lu An had always been very forward-thinking about the pregnancy of her company’s employees, so Whale’s treatment of pregnant women and expectant mothers was second to none in the country.

However, if Jin Nian was the mother, Lu An still hoped that Jin Nian could stay at home and take care of the baby during her pregnancy. She could even stop working in the future and focus on her family.

To be fair, Lu An definitely didn’t look down on Jin Nian’s job. He knew that every industry had its value and he had never looked down on anyone in a particular industry. However, he was worried that Jinnian’s body wouldn’t be able to take it.

Seeing that Jin Nian had misunderstood him, Lu An quickly explained, “Niannian, that’s not what I meant. How could 1 look down on your work? I’m just worried about your health.”

Jin Nian turned her face away and ignored him angrily.

“I was being rash just now. When 1 knew that you got into a car accident, my heart almost stopped beating. I was really afraid that something would happen to you.” Lu An explained patiently.

At this moment, any explanation was like an attempt to smooth out the creases on a piece of paper for Jin Nian. She couldn’t listen to it, and she didn’t want to listen.

“Lu An, I’m actually very stressed about marrying you.” Jin Nian said grievously.

As soon as she said this, Lu An instantly panicked. From the meaning of these words, why did they seem to be getting a divorce?

Even if he died, he would never divorce Jin Nian.

“Niannian, don’t abandon me. I know I was wrong. You can hit me. As long as you can forgive me, I’ll do anything.” Lu An pleaded.

Jin Nian’s eyes were red and filled with tears.

Pregnant women loved to cry. Jin Nian was feeling wronged and her tears started to fall.

She wanted to work hard at her career, but she didn’t expect others to think that it was not worth mentioning. They even wanted her to give it up. Why couldn’t a career and a family be compatible in a woman’s world?

There were pros and cons to marrying Lu An back then. Jin Nian was telling the truth when she said that she was under a lot of pressure because Lu An was too outstanding and was the son of a wealthy family, while she was just an ordinary person.

Marriage in China was about matching family status. If the assets and status of the two families were too different, there would be some unequal situations, and the lower party would be more aggrieved..
