"Wanwan?"

Jiang Kaichen then remembered to look at the girl next to him, only to see that the girl was smiling as usual, but she looked unmoved.

"Grandpa said I was priceless..."

She giggled, walked to Tang Yongdao and leaned against the old man.

"Besides, all the things you said are not what I really want."

She pursed her lips and spoke seriously, looking at Jiang Kaichen with a more serious look in her eyes.

The mood of everyone in the room was like a roller coaster today. Before they could get overwhelmed by Jiang Kaichen's inducements, they were blown to pieces by Tang Wenwan's straightforward rejection.

"Wanwan..."

Jiang Kaichen was now panicking. He had given away his entire fortune but not a single person was interested. He didn't know what to do next.

He looked around for help, and everyone had a puzzled look on their faces. Even Tang Wensong scratched his head and looked at his sister in confusion.

"Grandpa, my paintings were sold for hundreds of millions at the cruise auction this time. If you don't believe me, ask Grandpa Zhang."

Tang Wenwan glanced at Jiang Kaichen and ignored him, then turned around and spoke to Tang Yongdao in a coquettish and proud manner.

"Tell me, if I work harder, I won't be short of money, right?"

"That's right."

The old man looked proudly at Mr. Zhang, who also looked proud, touched Tang Wenwan's head and smiled with satisfaction.

The Tang family has been painters for generations. Even without mentioning their family background, no one in the family would be short of money just in terms of their skills.

"Besides, I can't waste my brain on calculating all those accounts with you. If you really want to give it to him, you can give it to him in the future. I don't want to worry about you."

After getting her grandfather's approval, she proudly strolled to Jiang Kaichen's side, touched her belly and smiled at him, her eyes full of provocation, "Don't set a trap for me."

"This...you..."

Jiang Kaichen's face was changing from red to white, showing that his heart was in turmoil.

"What I want is absolute respect and relative freedom!"

Fortunately, he didn't feel anxious for long, and she gave her answer readily.

He looked at Professor Luca's family who had been sitting silently on the side, and then looked at Zhang Xiufang, whose eyes were already beginning to flicker with complexity. She stared straight at Jiang Kaichen, as if waiting for his answer.

"Respect? ...Freedom?"

Jiang Kaichen chewed the two words in his mouth without reacting, staring at Tang Wenwan blankly, obviously he had not yet come to his senses.

"I've said before that I'm going back to Italy with Professor Luca to complete my studies."

She touched her belly and raised her chin to look at the man in front of her who had already lost his mind.

“I also want to collaborate with Grandma Zhang’s art fund.”

As she said this, she winked at the old lady who already understood everything.

Jiang Kaichen felt his temples bulging and throbbing. He stared dumbfoundedly at the girl in front of him who was bargaining with him. In an instant, he felt helpless as if he was being put on a grill.

"You...you are about to give birth..."

She avoided the sharp gaze that was staring at her, and looked back and forth between Tang Yongdao and Zhuang Mei as if asking for help.

Tang Yongdao had previously informed his granddaughter about this matter, and he had also expressed his agreement. This time, he could only try his best to avoid her gaze, wishing he could cast an invisibility spell to make himself disappear from the scene.

"This...I...Wanwan...Kaichen is right..."

Although Zhuang Mei is also an artistic young woman who gave up artistic development for the sake of her family, as a mother, she still involuntarily stands on Jiang Kaichen's conservative side on the issue of having children.

Ever since he knew that Tang Wenwan was pregnant, Jiang Kaichen had been silently planning to keep her at home and not let her wander around outside, no matter how hard he tried.

Who would have thought that this girl, who was so low-key, could actually control him at this critical moment.

Having only managed to find one ally for the time being, he looked around the room again, and what he saw were people who were either confused, puzzled, or simply avoided his gaze. No one was willing to stand up and respond to him.

"Wendy, are you going back to Italy with us to have the baby?"

Professor Luca's little daughter Sophia asked her mother in a low voice, as everyone in the room looked at each other.

The sound was instantly amplified infinitely in the silent room.

Tang Wenwan raised her chin again, expressing her attitude towards Jiang Kaichen, whose face was already pale.

Jiang Kaichen pursed his lips, his eagle eyes were dark, and it was obvious that he had his own persistence on this matter.

"In fact, where to give birth is not the main issue. Whether Mr. Jiang dares to do so and is willing to let Wendy live the life she wants is the key to the 'respect and freedom' she pursues."

Seeing that the embarrassment had been resolved by her daughter, Selena also spoke frankly.

She smiled and patted her daughter's hand, signaling her to be patient, then looked up at Tang Wenwan and Jiang Kaichen.

"As you can see, Wanwan wants to be an independent woman, has her own ideals and pursuits, and is also doing her best to strive for success."

As everyone suddenly realized what was going on, she looked at Tang Wenwan's reddened eyes, gave her a look that said "I understand you," and continued:

"The reason why she doesn't want your huge fortune and is unwilling to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor is because she realizes that her own growth pace may not be what you want, and she doesn't want to be bound by you."

Selena is worthy of being a psychology professor. She pointed out Tang Wenwan’s problem with one word.

"It's not easy for two people to be together, not to mention that you have two such outstanding children. Naturally, there are issues of balance and trade-offs in this relationship."

She looked around the room and saw that everyone was lost in thought, then looked at her husband, Professor Luca, and said with a smile.

"When I first got together with Professor Luca, we had a lot of conflicts and contradictions because of the balance between personal development and family life. It took us many years to find a solution.

Wendy is a smart child. She brought up this conflict when you proposed marriage. She probably didn’t want you to have any unhappiness in your marriage. She also gave you the right to choose. ”

Listening to Selena's views, Jiang Kaichen gradually understood why Tang Wenwan insisted on studying even though she was pregnant.

The woman in front of him was equally gentle and elegant, but she indeed shone with a personal charm that even Zhuang Mei did not have.

He turned his head to look at Tang Wenwan again. She should be a shining girl. His heart suddenly began to beat fast, but he did not realize that the desire for control deep in his heart was quietly collapsing.

"Just think about how Jingyi and I's lives will be wasted like this..."

Suddenly, a sigh broke through everyone's contemplation. Zhuang Mei looked at Tang Wenwan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and everyone realized that she had also changed sides...
