The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 370: Must a woman get married?

"But wouldn’t it be strange not to get married?" Li Qiqi asked.Although sometimes she would discuss this issue with her girlfriends, thinking that this world is too unfair to women. Why does a woman, who was a princess at home, have to go to someone else’s house to be a "maid," serving her future husband’s whole family?

If being single is more carefree than being married, why not stay single for a lifetime?

But her girlfriends say that in reality, very few women choose to remain single. Once over thirty, most are eager to get married. Some even settle for any man just to get married.

"Exactly, so if you don’t get married, everyone will look at you with strange eyes. They won’t think it’s because you’re too outstanding and that no man is good enough for you. Instead, they’ll think—you’re so pretty and wealthy, and yet single; there must be something wrong with your body, or your relationships are a mess, and no one wants you."

"If you’re not pretty and don’t have money, then it’s because men directly don’t want you, so you can’t get married."

"If you’re lucky and your parents are more open-minded, they won’t say anything and let you be; but if you’re unlucky, your parents will nag you all day, driving you crazy. Your neighbors around will seem to all think that if you can’t get married, it must be your fault, and they look down on you..."

"Then, you’ll find that the whole world is saying it’s your fault! You start to doubt, is it really my fault? Is there something wrong with me for not being able to get married? Should I quickly find someone to marry? If at this time a man happens to be chasing you, no matter how bad he is, you’ll thank your lucky stars for getting married."

"If the man is good, then fine, but if he’s bad and beats or scolds you, you wouldn’t dare leave him. Because this marriage was your choice, you’re afraid others will laugh at you. Because this world tells you that divorce is a woman’s biggest failure!"

...

Li Qiqi shared the disjointed and scattered contents of her discussions with her girlfriends. She wanted to know from her brother’s perspective if the world is really like this.

"Well, how should I put it... the phenomena you mentioned still exist. However, Qiqi, rest assured, this won’t be an issue in our family. I haven’t even gotten married yet. If mom and dad want to rush someone, they’d start with me. What are you worried about? I’ll handle it."

"Are you planning on never getting married, brother?" Li Qiqi was a bit taken aback. She knew her brother was a workaholic, but she never thought that her brother was considering not getting married at all.

Getting married, it seems, doesn’t put men at a disadvantage, right?

Even as a second-hand man, with his talent, wealth, and good looks, her brother is still considered a coveted bachelor!

"Since I haven’t met someone I like, what’s the hurry? Aren’t you planning to stay single for life too?"

"Brother, I never planned on that; I just haven’t met anyone I like now. If in the future I meet my true love, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate!"

When Li Qiqi said this, she didn’t notice that the smile on the driver, Li Weiqiao’s, face faded a little upon hearing her words.

"So, our Princess Qiqi, what kind of boy do you like? Tell me, maybe your true love is right around my circle!"

"No way!" Li Qiqi pouted, "I don’t want you to introduce someone; I want to meet him ’by chance’. Do you know there’s a type of romance called ’meeting’? Meeting the best you at the best moment is what I’ve been looking forward to all my life..."

Li Weiqiao: "..."

"Also, brother, do you have to be so old-fashioned? Nowadays, who talks about what type of boy or girl they like when dating? If you meet someone and feel it, then it’s fate. You just said you haven’t met anyone who gives you feelings. If you only have a standard for likes, like, being beautiful, having long legs, fair skin, the street is full of them, you could meet one casually."

"You sure have a lot of grand theories!"

"Of course!" Li Qiqi lifted her chin proudly, "Brother, don’t look down on me. I haven’t had a boyfriend, but my theoretical knowledge is quite rich."

Although she hadn’t had a boyfriend, her girlfriends had many, and every one of them would nag a bit to her. After listening a lot, she understood.

Li Weiqiao, not having figured out what kind of boy his sister liked, had arrived at the hospital. Ever since Li Qiqi moved in with someone and their mother got so angry she ended up in the hospital, Li Weiqiao’s been running to the hospital all the time. His parents weren’t surprised to see him coming in at this time.

"Wei Qiao, you’re here, have a seat and help yourself to some water," their father, who still looked quite young, not yet fifty and wearing a pair of rimless glasses, had a bit of a university professor vibe about him, so much so you wouldn’t have guessed he once navigated the business world.

Well, after launching Wei Qiao, he left the company to him and stopped caring.

As he put it, "Life is only so long, and I’ve laid the foundations for you. You’re adults who can hold your ground. It’s time for me to rest. I’m taking your mother around, making up for all the sights we missed when we were young..." Latest content publıshed on ????????????????????•????????????????•????????????

To be honest, Li Weiqiao really envied the relationship between his parents. When they were young, it was plain and simple, three meals a day; when they’re old, without any upheavals, holding hands growing old together, there’s nothing wrong with that.

"And you, poor Wei Qiao has been busy all day at work. How hard can it be to pour him a glass of water when he finally gets a break?" said their mom, shooting a look at their father from where she lay watching TV in the hospital bed.

"Mom, I sit in the office all day, what’s the big deal?" Li Weiqiao poured himself a glass, "What did you guys have for lunch today?"

"What can we have? Your mom even grudges a piece of meat, saying it’s wasted on me," their father complained.

Li’s mom replied, "Why am I restricting your meat for? Isn’t it for your health? The doctor advised last check-up that you should cut down on meat. First thing in the morning, you sneaked a braised chicken leg, thinking I wouldn’t notice? Since you already had that in the morning, just have porridge for lunch."

"See, isn’t your mom mistreating me? Bringing up a chicken leg all day long."

Li Weiqiao laughed, "I wouldn’t dare get involved in your marital affairs. Dad, Mom, I need to talk to you about something."

"What is it? Have you got a girlfriend?" Li’s mom asked, "If you haven’t, then don’t bring it up."

"Your mom was just talking to me this morning, mentioning how you’re not young anymore, it might be time to have a girlfriend. It’s not like we are rushing you, but you aren’t exactly young anymore. For someone your age, many have kids old enough to buy soy sauce, which makes your mom a bit anxious." Dad added.

"I’m anxious, aren’t you?" Li’s mom rolled her eyes at him, "Who just told me yesterday how the kid from two doors down is chubby and cute and how he wishes he could take him here?"

Having his past actions revealed, dad rubbed his nose and said nothing.
