I nodded in the end. "It's okay to sign a prenuptial agreement."

Unexpectedly, my consideration of the overall situation gave them the opportunity to make further advances.

Perhaps because I was easy to compromise, Zoe winked at Tessa again.

Acting as the Rice family's spokesperson, she began to chatter incessantly.

"We should make it clear. If Saya gave birth to a boy as her first child, he would take the Rice family's surname. If it were a girl, she would take your surname. As for the second child, we can discuss it later. Once a woman gives birth to a child, she will lose the golden period of her career.

"Saya is an international student with excellent conditions, so if you want her to have a second child, you will need to pay birth compensation."

Before she finished speaking, our whole family's expression changed.

How absurd it was!

Not only did I have to provide them with high-priced betrothal gifts, but I had no right to give our children a surname.

I thought to myself, "What the hell is the birth compensation?"

Tessa and others probably noticed that we were not in a good mood, so they didn't continue the conversation.
