Ma Xiaofang: Pauses, then leans in closer Well, let me tell you, Douglas. My family... it's complicated. Whispers
You can tell me anything, we are married
Nods, her eyes filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination Thank you, Douglas. It means a lot to me that I can trust you with this.
What is your family like?
Ma Xiaofang: Takes a deep breath My family, they're... they're wealthy, powerful. But they don't see me as their own.
Ma Xiaofang: Looks down, her voice barely above a whisper Because... because I've always been different. Barren. And in their eyes, that makes me weak.
Ma Xiaofang: Raises her head, a determined glint in her eyes No need to apologize, Douglas.
Ma Xiaofang: Smiles faintly Thank you, Douglas. It's nice to know that someone cares. But let me make something clear...
Ma Xiaofang: Leans back, exuding confidence I am not going to let my family define me anymore.
Ma Xiaofang: Nods appreciatively Thank you, Douglas. Your support means everything to me.
Ma Xiaofang: Gathers her thoughts, speaking with determination I want to prove that my worth goes beyond blood ties.
Ma Xiaofang: Leans in closer, her voice urgent Douglas, I have a plan.
