Chapter 105: Rite Of Adulthood

cw: mention of gangrape and incest

"Mr. Song, when you talk about marriage, it's supposed to be an intimate connection between two people, right?" She asked, leaving Song Zhuyu a bit confused as to where this was heading.

"Of course…?" he replied with uncertainty. 

Sure, polygamous relationships existed, but he reckoned they had become extremely rare in this day and age where everything was governed by strict legal regulations. This was no longer the era where men could take multiple wives or concubines just to have as many offspring as they physically could. Now, many couples even found it a hassle to have children, preferring to spend lives only with the two of them alone.

A speculation arose in Song Zhuyu's mind, only to be shattered in the next moment by Tan Jiahu's words. It suddenly dawned on Father Song that perhaps he had been too innocent for this world.
