When Chen Qingyi said the word compromise, there was no trace of joy in my heart because of the achievement of my goal, on the contrary, there was an indescribable pain, I understand that the so-called compromise is a double-edged sword, it can smooth out temporary contradictions on the surface, but in a corner that you can't see, it is constantly transforming into another form, and then waiting for an opportunity to explode, and finally completely disrupt our lives.

I weighed it in silence for a long time and said to Chen Qingyi: "I won't hire my aunt, and you don't have to resign, I'll take my parents over and let them help take care of Pippi." ”

"It's the best of both worlds!" Ye Yiyi and Lin Xi exchanged a look and said.

"I think it's good, too!" The prince and Han Feng also expressed their positions separately.

I looked at Chen Qingyi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

After Chen Qingyi was silent for a while, she nodded, indeed this seems to be the best solution now, and there is no need for compromise on both sides.

.......

After the dinner, the crowd did not disperse immediately, and Shen Man called me outside, as if he had something to say to me.

Standing on the balcony, I habitually looked up at the sky, and the moonlight tonight was obviously not as good as the previous days, and the moon was hiding behind the clouds, showing its hazy appearance to our eyes.

After a period of silence, I said to Shen Man, "Congratulations, senior sister, you and the prince have finally achieved positive results!" ”

Shen Man smiled and said, "Yes, after such a big circle, we still returned to the original point two years ago......

I smiled with Shen Man and sighed: "Isn't life just like this!" ”

"Do you think your life is a toss-up right now?" Shen Man looked at me very seriously and asked.

I don't want to face it, but at least my life has been torn apart for the past few years.

Shen Man stared at me for a long time and asked, "You honestly tell Senior Sister, after more than a year, have you ever had a relationship with Qingyi?" ”

When Shen Man's question was raised, my heart instinctively tightened, and in my subconscious, whether I had a relationship with Chen Qingyi or not, I had to go on, so I kept avoiding thinking about it.

"Does it matter? One day, something called family affection will replace love. "I hurriedly opened a gap with family affection and allowed myself to escape death from this problem.

Shen Man shook his head: "If the family affection generated can really save everything, you tell me, why do so many people want to divorce?" ”

I am silent, not so much silent as an evasion to answer the question.

Shen Man sighed and continued: "You and Qingyi are like two gears without lubricating oil to moisturize, although each other desperately wants to jam each other and let the gears work, but one day you will be unbearable, because of the dull pain caused by no lubrication!" ”

I retorted: "Don't forget, it's possible that the pain is numb, so you don't care!" ”

"You're wrong, a marriage without love as lubrication will only get more and more painful, there are too many similar examples around, especially young couples like you and Qingyi with good material conditions!"

I was silent for a long time: "I'd rather watch this mournful fireworks than see through it!" ”

"You're talking about pyrotechnics, right?"

After a long silence again, I said, "Senior sister, you know everything...... My life is no longer my own. Smiling bitterly, I continued: "I really hope that you and the prince can be happy and enjoy your married life in the future." ”

Shen Man smiled and said, "Maybe we are also the next you and Qingyi, who knows?" ....... You know I can't spend any more, I've lost the most beautiful time of a woman......."

I stared at Shen Man for a long time and asked, "Could it be that you married the prince just because you didn't have energy, and after so many years, you have never been able to fall in love with him?" ”

"Answer you in your words, and I also pin all my hopes on the affection we have generated, and perhaps it will save us...... We are always different from you and Qingyi, our marriage is not as complicated as yours! ”

I agree with Shen Man's words, the complexity of my marriage with Chen Qingyi is because of one more Pipi, and the source of our conflicts is also because of Pipi, which is indeed much simpler than me and Chen Qingyi.

Shen Man's words deeply aroused my sense of crisis, I was a little helpless, I didn't know how I should face my marriage, I clearly knew that I didn't have the courage to change anything at this time, this family was what I had to maintain.

"Senior sister, what do you say I should do?" In helplessness, I habitually asked Shen Man for help.

"See through it, and then jump out of the circle."

Although Shen Man had already made it clear what he said, I still looked at Shen Man uncertainly........

"I advise you to see through, I need a lot of courage, because I'm sorry Qingyi, but you are the person I care about the most besides my parents, even more than myself, I really don't want to see you suffer so endlessly, your future days are too long...... Go find the person you really love and live the life you deserve! ”

I shook my head: "As early as a year and a half ago, I had already made a choice, I hurt Angel in order for Pippi to have a good growth environment, if I hurt Qingyi for love now, then I should really thunder and thunder....... And there has been no possibility between us for a long time, and she will definitely not pay for my mistakes again and again! ”

"Now it seems that you think you really gave Pippi a good environment to grow up?"

"If I work together with Chen Qingyi, we will definitely be able to give Pippi a good environment to grow up!"

.......

On the way home, Chen Qingyi and I each drove a car, and Pippi was naturally in Chen Qingyi's car, and many times he relied on Chen Qingyi far more than me.

After returning home and washing up, Chen Qingyi and I were once again in a space with just the two of us.

After an awkward silence, I spoke first: "I overdid yesterday's incident, I hope you can forgive me." ”

Chen Qingyi closed her eyes, but tears fell: "Yixi, I love you, I've always loved you, but I really feel so tired now....... This is too far from my imaginary marriage, and this gap does not come from Pippi, but because we do not have normal emotional communication between husband and wife, which makes me feel too pale and powerless...... Whenever someone questioned our marriage, I even turned my face to refute it, but the truth is clear to everyone....... Do you understand this inner torment? ....... I'm really afraid that the string in my heart that has been being pulled will be overwhelmed and eventually break! ”

I could read Chen Qingyi's subtext, and I panicked in my heart, and said to Chen Qingyi: "Don't have the idea of divorce, okay?" ...... If I do something wrong, I will definitely correct it! ”

Chen Qingyi stared at me with tears in her eyes for a long time: "It's just because of Pippi that keeps our marriage together, right?" ”

I was caught up in an inexpressible predicament and was silent for a long time.

Chen Qingyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't have the idea of divorce, at least not now, because I still have expectations for you and this family!" ”
