Chapter 224 Marriage Alliance
[Speaking of which, do guys like these also face pressure from their families to get married?]
Now that you mention it, I'm also quite curious. Are wealthy families the same as ordinary families like ours?
[It should be like in novels, a business marriage, a powerful union between two equally matched families.]
Hey guys, come out here and satisfy our curiosity!
Xiao Jiu: "I'm also quite curious. Brother Zeyi, Brother Muchen, Brother Bujianjun, Brother Luoxing, Sister Cheng, do your families also urge you to get married?"
Cheng: I have a fiancé; it's kind of a business marriage.
Wow, this is like a novel coming to life! Sister Cheng, isn't your husband handsome? Did you two cultivate a relationship before marriage?
Cheng: Don't make things up.
Cheng Qin could tell what the girl in the live stream was thinking just by looking at her eyes.
Xiao Jiu: "Sister Cheng, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just curious about your business marriage. After all, we don't have any access to this kind of thing. The only thing we know about is the kind in novels."
Doraemon: My little sister clearly reads a lot of novels!
Little Jiu, what kind of novels do you usually like to read?
I enjoy watching the second male lead rise to power, the kind where the original male lead goes through a tumultuous process of winning back his wife.
[These kinds of stories usually involve the female lead suffering in her past life, right? I prefer sweet and romantic stories where the female lead is pampered by everyone.]
I like watching cute babies; I don't like watching romance dramas anymore.
Xiao Jiu: "Hmm, I've read all of what you've said."
I think you might not see what I'm looking for.
Xiao Jiu: "Huh????? ...? What did you see? I saw so much, how could you have seen something I didn't?"
Xiao Jiu reads all kinds of novels; she doesn't think there's any genre she hasn't read.
My View on BL (Boys' Love)
【Oh, sister, what a coincidence, I read this too, and I also read yuri (lesbian) stories】
We're all sisters here! How about you share some articles? I'm having a reading slump lately.
When Xiao Jiu saw these two things mentioned in the live stream, she thought they were something else entirely. Oh, this is it? She had seen this kind of thing back in Qingqiu. Back then, it wasn't called danmei, it was called Longyang, and yuri was called mojing.
Xiao Jiu: "Tch, I thought you guys were talking about something I didn't know, but it's just this? You underestimated me."
Xiao Jiu raised an eyebrow charmingly, a hint of playfulness hidden in her smiling eyes.
[Little sister, you've even seen this? I didn't expect that!]
Hahaha, I thought my little sister was some innocent little rabbit, but she says she knows more than I do!
【Hahahahaha】
[Mu Chen: My family doesn't pressure me to get married. We believe in freedom of marriage in our family. I also have an older brother, so there's no need for me to carry on the family line.]
[The two royal brothers, Chen and his brother, will they fight each other over the right to the throne?]
The moment you said that, I knew you were a bookworm.
Mu Chen: ...
[Mu Chen: Is inheritance really such a good thing? Getting up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog every day, with hardly any free time, is that really a good thing?]
Duan Qingchen didn't understand. Inheriting the family company meant working every day, getting up early and coming home late, sometimes having to attend social events, and always having to maintain a serious demeanor at the company.
He had no desire to inherit the family business. He had shares in the company, his brother worked himself to the bone to earn money for him, and he could collect dividends and do what he loved. Wasn't that great?
Well, now that you mention it, it seems there really isn't anything good about it.
[Novels always say that the CEO and the female lead have plenty of time together and many things happen, but why is reality different?]
[Hahaha, when I read these kinds of novels, I was incredibly envious. The CEO didn't have to do any work; his subordinates did all the work. He was just responsible for dating the female lead, and the two of them would chase each other.]
Hahaha, now that you mention it, all those novels with domineering CEOs and their sweet little wives that I read over the years have come flooding back.
Woman, you've successfully caught my attention.
Ugh, this is so greasy!
[Mu Chen: Let's all watch less of this stuff. That doesn't sound like something a CEO would say; it sounds like something a greasy middle-aged man would say.]
[Hahahaha, really, Emperor Chen, do you think your brother might one day meet a clumsy, innocent female lead and then say, "Woman, you've successfully caught my attention."]
Duan Qingchen imagined his older brother saying those words to a woman, and ugh, goosebumps instantly rose on his skin. How disgusting! Who on earth would say that?
Mu Chen: Impossible
[Mu Chen: Does not exist]
[Mu Chen: Just because she's clumsy, she wouldn't even be able to get into my brother's company.]
This is reality! When I used to read novels with these innocent, naive female protagonists, I never understood why the male protagonist, whose company was so big and powerful, would hire a female secretary who couldn't do anything right.
[Haha, it's just a novel, you can't read it with your brain.]
[Ze Yi: I'm in charge of my own family, and no one can dictate my marriage.]
Hmm, what Yi Huang said really sounds more like a domineering CEO.
[Your Majesty, come out quickly, it's your turn! What's going on at your house?]
[I Don't See You: My parents are pressuring me to get married, but I'm not listening. Let them pressure me, I'll just do my own thing.]
[The royal family is closer to our ordinary lives]
[Falling Star: I live alone, so no one will pressure me to get married.]
Luo Xing's entire family is dead. His mother passed away long ago, and his father was sent to a mental hospital by his own hand. He didn't make it to the hospital and died. He also killed all his illegitimate brothers. He's the only one left in his family. Who cares whether he gets married or not?
Ah, well, that's good too.
[The person upstairs clearly doesn't know how to comfort others.]
Indeed, I'm not very good at comforting people.
It's really great not having to face pressure to get married.
Xiao Jiu: "Marriage should be with someone you love. Either don't get married at all, or if you do, there should be some reason for it. Either find someone you love and who loves you to marry. Marrying just for the sake of marriage is not advisable."
Indeed, people like Sister Cheng get married hoping for a powerful alliance between the two families, allowing them to earn more money.
[Cheng: It's not what you think. There's still a foundation of affection between us.]
Cheng Qin was amused by the comments from the fans in the live stream. It was clear that quite a few of them read novels. Their family was definitely not the kind of family that would sacrifice their children's feelings for the sake of the family's interests, as depicted in novels.
The fact that she, as a woman, was able to inherit the family business shows that her family is not the kind that only cares about profit. She and her fiancé were childhood sweethearts; although their relationship wasn't particularly deep, there was a foundation of affection between them.
There wasn't much love or hate between them. Both families felt it was a good match, and the two of them felt it was a good match, so they agreed to get engaged and get married later. Besides, the union of the two families would indeed bring certain benefits, she didn't deny. In business, who doesn't consider gains and losses?
