He finally cleaned himself up and sat down at the table like a human being. In the past few days, he has lost a lot of weight, the Adam's apple on his neck is tall, and he can see his throat moving every time he swallows saliva.
I handed him the hot milk and said, "From today onwards, I will learn to cook and not let you be so thin." โ
He nodded, his eyes flashed, he lowered his head to eat, and after drinking the last sip of milk, he looked up and said to me: "Le Yi, I may be depressed for a while, but I am a man, and I will try my best to do a good job, and I will not be knocked down by these things." Next, even if Lanhua goes bankrupt, I will have to liquidate assets, make loss reports or something, and it is estimated that I will continue to be busy for a while. At this he let out a long sigh as if he had exhausted his strength.
"I know, no matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to your body, if you can't come back at night, I'll bring you food." I said as I put away the cutlery in front of him.
He smiled bitterly: "Nothing is famous, what kind of food to send." โ
"He Liancheng!" I threw my things into the sink when I heard him, turned back to the meal, stretched out my hands across a table and pinched his face, and said, "I'm so angry that you say something like that." I'm angry and will go to your office and stare at your work. Sue you, even if we lose, we will lose beautifully! You're in a much better situation now than I was five years ago, at least you have your dad alive and my baby by your side. It's just a business failure, and no one can be smooth sailing in this life. You can pass it quickly if you think of it as an ordeal, okay! โ
I spoke quickly, but in a tough tone.
Since he got off the plane, I have treated him with the most gentle side, and suddenly I changed my tone, and he listened instead. After being stunned for a long time, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
Just like the first flower on a spring branch to feel the spring breeze, the smile overflowed from his heart, and soon bloomed quietly at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and his facial features suddenly became much more vivid.
"Okay, I'm trying to lose a little bit more beautifully." He finally nodded, thought about it and said, "I'm afraid that the matter of accompanying you and your children to Sanya for a vacation on June Day will be delayed." โ
"No, it will take at least two or three months for a company as big as Lanhua to be liquidated. Three days later, after you go to the group to report to the work, we will go to Sanya. It's not going on vacation, it's going to get married. I said.
"I don't have the ability to give you a decent wedding right now." He smiled wryly and added, "I don't even dare to use the word 'grand'. โ
"Will you marry me?" I asked, taking his hand.
He looked at him with burning eyes, without a hint of evasion. It turned out that I didn't mention it because I was afraid of putting pressure on him. wanted him to find a balance between his father and me; Now I mention it in order to put pressure on him to know that no matter whether he succeeds or fails, there is a woman who loves him regardless of external materialism.
He looked at me for a while, finally loosened his tightly knit eyebrows, stretched out his hands and hugged me in his arms and said, "Okay, but I can only go for three days." โ
"Three days is enough." I said in his arms.
The hotel and plane tickets were booked in the morning, and while he was making the presentation materials, I went to prepare the things for the wedding. I don't have many relatives and friends, at most I invite Cao Ye, Ye Zi, and Shi Lan. He Liancheng estimated that he would only be able to go to two or three acquaintances.
Because of the small scale that can be expected, there are not many things to prepare, and the most important thing is the wedding dress and dress. I thought about it and called Peng Jiade and decided to go to his store to choose.
He was waiting for me in the store, and when he saw me so fast, he was surprised and asked, "Are you really going to get married at such a juncture?" โ
"Yes."
"The wedding at this time will not be too luxurious, or it can only be unsatisfactory."
"I don't care."
โฆโฆ
"I'm glad I met you for He Liancheng." Peng Jiade was silent for a long time, whispered this sentence, and then said to me, "You can go to the house with me to pick it out, the really fine dress is not in the store." I know He Liancheng's size, and I promise to dress him up in good spirits. โ
Peng Jiade himself has a duplex mansion in Wangjing, and the entire second floor is neatly arranged wedding dresses, each of which is exquisite, and the workmanship style is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
I only had to look at it to see that the price of these wedding dresses was definitely very high, so I hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go to the store and pick them, I want to save this money for Liancheng." If he wants to start over, he must always have start-up capital. โ
"I don't take any money from you, I'll give you a wedding gift." Peng Jiade looked at my figure, pointed to a handmade zuรฒ bandeau wedding dress with a long tail and said, "This one is more suitable for your temperament, try it." โ
"That's pretty much it." I looked at the extravagant wedding dress and waved my hand.
Peng Jiade smiled, went downstairs to pour me a glass of water, handed it over and asked, "Is your date set?" Who do you want to invite? โ
"My Lian Cheng discussed, and I took the child with him to a church in Yalong Bay over there to hold a ceremony. His mother was Catholic, so we chose to be there. Friends will invite three or five, as for who to invite, we have to wait until he is busy with the business at hand. I said.
"Why did you do that? Do your wedding quietly? Is it worth it? Peng Jiade asked again.
"I love him and don't mind these formalities." I smiled faintly and didn't want to say too much.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "It's strange, how many people will break up because of a man's bankruptcy, divorce, and I have never seen someone rushing to get married at such a time." โ
I don't want to go on and on, it would be hypocritical to go on.
After all, not everyone can understand this kind of thing. But I think it's worth it, when I said the word marriage, He Liancheng's eyes lit up, and at that moment I knew that I was right about it.
He was still scared in his heart, afraid that because of this sudden blow, something would happen between us. My idea is simple, I just want to give him a reassuring pill - I will never leave him for the rest of my life!
I don't know if I'm going to do my best to get him back to the best of my ability, but I'm doing what I can to help him, hoping that he'll pick himself up sooner rather than later.
It's easier said than done!
On the third day, he came home from the group after making a report, his face was pale and gray, and he frowned when he saw the box in the living room and asked, "What is this?" โ
"Wedding dresses." I say.
"Le Yi, can we get married later?" He looked up and asked me, helplessness in the corner of his eye.
I walked up behind him, gently rubbed his temples and said, "You give me a reason and I'll agree to cancel." โ
"I don't want to get married so quietly." He took my hand and told me to stop and continued, "You know what? When I was very young, I thought about what kind of woman I was going to marry and what my wedding would be like......" he said and paused, his eyes looking out of sight.
I didn't speak, and he said slowly after a long time: "The first day I met you, I really didn't expect to be able to get together with you, let alone that I would marry again. I never imagined that I would get married when I was bankrupt, when I was most disappointed in my life. How could I agree with what you said the other day? Hold a wedding in an unknown small church in Hainan, where only you and I attend. I ask you, does such a wedding make sense? He said at the end with his voice raised.
I felt a pounding in the chest, and my ears were ringing. I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath before I looked up and asked him with difficulty, "What do you want to say?" โ
"If you think marriage is child's play, I'll play with you. Le Yi, we are not children, is it meaningful to have a wedding without witnesses and relatives and friends? He turned to me and asked.
"This kind of wedding is not grand enough, but it doesn't mean that it is not solemn." Suddenly, I couldn't figure out what He Liancheng was thinking. Obviously, a few days ago, when I was discussing this with him, I saw the smile on his face, and that kind of smile could not be faked.
"What do you want to say?" I stubbornly asked him, I couldn't understand what he was saying, I couldn't understand why he suddenly changed his mind.
"In a few years, we will have a wedding that will attract the attention of the world." He Liancheng said.
"I ...... I ...... "I opened my mouth a few times, didn't know what to say, and finally lowered my head hopelessly. At this time, I still lost to his pride and stubbornness.
He is unwilling to marry in such obscurity, and he is not willing to live an ordinary life. What he wants is to live in the spotlight, go out in a luxury car, respond to every call, and everything goes well...... Am I making the wrong choice?
But what can I do at this point? I could only walk with him on a sharp knife.
"Okay, listen to you." I shamelessly compromised.
Tuck the dress into the deepest part of the wardrobe, and go to feed Kuankuan with milk powder and change diapers with a faint expression.
I don't know how to comfort He Liancheng, I don't know how to persuade people, I feel like I'm doing my best to persuade him and cater to him. However, it didn't work at all, he was still depressed, and even brought anger and resentment.
For the first time in our relationship of more than two years, I was overwhelmed and faced with a situation that I couldn't solve, and I didn't know what to do next.
Between career and family, how to choose the right one as a man? There is no standard answer to this question, and we cannot judge anyone's actions right or wrong.
When I got Kuankuan and returned to the living room, He Liancheng was gone. My heart went cold, and I went to look at his car keys on the foyer cabinet, and they were gone......
I didn't have time to change my shoes, so I chased out the door and saw that the number "1" was displayed on the elevator. He didn't say hello to me and went straight downstairs.
Running to the balcony, I saw the car in the parking space in the garden slowly drive into the shaded path, and then quickly out of the neighborhood......
I wanted to chase him out, but I didn't know where he was going, so I hesitated and picked up the sleeping Kuankuan and went downstairs, but I couldn't find his shadow anymore.
The sunset shone warmly on my body, and the people who went to work came back one after another, and a few familiar faces greeted me with a smile...... At this moment, I suddenly felt so far away from He Liancheng, as if I didn't know him at all.
What I am looking for is a plain life without worrying about food and clothing, and he is different. Is he really different?
Dejected, he went upstairs with Kuankuan in his arms, and sat in the living room to watch the sky in the west turn from red to indigo, and then to jet black...... In the end, all the qiฤ fell into the cartridge, and it was dark.
Kuan Kuan arched restlessly in my arms, finally unable to stand the darkness and silence, crying while searching for something on my face, little hands tightly wrapped around my neck, as if afraid that I would suddenly disappear.
I was reluctant to let him cry, so I hurriedly turned on the switch of the light. There was a snap and the room lit up. Kuan Kuan looked at the light with tears in his eyes, and his crying stopped abruptly
