Chapter 35: Let's Talk
After a night of tossing and turning and sleepless nights, Liu Wei finally summed up the reason why Yi Ran was disappointed and indifferent to himself: maybe the marriage needs to be kept fresh so that it will not expire and deteriorate. All the good things she used to do to Yiran, if she can't do the same as before, then her past self will become the object of comparison of her current self forever, just like a rival in love, no matter how noisy she is, it's just to find the self who was good to her.
After Liu Wei felt sorry for himself, he finally found a reason to make himself feel at ease. His personal style is the same as his work style, speculating on what a client or leader thinks, then making a realistic plan and putting it into practice.
After Liu Wei thought he had found the crux of Yi Ran, early the next morning, he began to prepare a delicious breakfast for Yi Ran, as if nothing had ever happened, with the standard batch smiling faces of the hotel service staff, to meet Yi Ran's every scrutiny of the eyes, just like waiting for Yi Ran to finish eating, giving him a five-star praise.
Liu Wei's behavior in the morning made Yi Ran feel uncomfortable. Too many performance components made Yi Ran feel embarrassed. But it's a little sad to see him pretending to have amnesia and trying to rebuild the old relationship with himself.
"If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to." Yiran couldn't bear it anymore.
"How so? Seeing my beautiful wife eating so deliciously, I laughed unconsciously with happiness. Liu Wei's voice was greasy and dripping with oil.
"I'm full and I'm going to work." Yi Ran's attitude was still cold.
"Wait a minute, I'll send you to work after I'm done." Liu Wei said to Yi Ran while packing up his things.
"No need, I'll take a taxi myself." Before Liu Wei finished cleaning up, Yiran had already left the house.
Yiran fled the family, and she didn't want to stay in that awkward atmosphere for a minute. It can be seen that Liu Wei wants the two of them to forget yesterday's events, even the previous things, and go back to the past. But he may never understand how much disappointment hurts a person, especially the disappointment that slowly accumulates. Disappointment will become a habit, a rift, and in the end, all the good things that have been good will be wiped out because of this rift.
When he was about to get off work, Liu Wei sent a text message, telling Yiran to pick her up when he got off work and take her to eat what she liked. If it was before, Yi Ran would still be very happy. But now, Yiran didn't want to go to the appointment. She needed time to sort out her thoughts, and she didn't know what kind of mood she should use to face him now, because the gap between her heart and Liu Wei was not an easy gap to cross. Do you still love him? Or do you really love him? Yiran asked herself.
What is love? Yi Ran was also at a loss. If love is like Yufei's desperate and abandoning everything like Sayuri, then Yiran can't do it, Liu Wei is not the person who can make her desperate, just like choosing Liu Wei as her husband in the first place, she tends to be more rational. If love is as deep and obsessed as Junhe has for his ex-girlfriend, then it doesn't apply to Yiran, and Liu Wei doesn't have this kind of charm for Yiran. If love is like Lin Ya's love at first sight and longing for Junhe, then Liu Wei is not a person who can conquer Yiran by appearance. So, what is between Yiran and Liu Wei, is it just a person who meets the conditions for marriage and is suitable for marriage?
It is undeniable that once relied on him, enjoyed his care, and lived a life of peace of mind, which made Yiran feel happy. However, life is never a stagnant water. Life is changing rapidly every day, and there will be all kinds of tests, and feelings are the basis of these tests, and two people without feelings are bound to fail in these tests. Just like the current Yiran and Liu Wei, in the twists and turns of life, they lost patience and confidence, and became more and more indifferent.
Yi Ran didn't want to be entangled in regret and self-blame, since he chose him in the first place, he had to be responsible for his actions, but now he doesn't know how to face him. But what if you could turn back the clock? Yi Ran asked herself, would she choose him again?
No, not really. The inner voice is resolute. If only time could be turned back.
When it was time to get off work, Liu Wei waited in front of Yiran's office building early.
Yi Ran looked at Liu Wei from a distance, it seemed that nothing had changed, he was still waiting for her to get off work as before, but Yi Ran didn't have the feeling of happiness and happiness before. Yi Ran's heart sank, and her intuition told her that it was impossible for the two of them to be the same as before.
Yi Ran got into the car, saw a bouquet of red roses in Liu Wei's hand, and handed it to Yi Ran with a smile: "Wife, give it to you." β
"Thank you." Yi Ran looked at the bouquet in his hand with a solemn face and thanked him politely.
"Thanks for what? It's me who I'm sorry for you, I've been too busy lately to ignore you, it's been a long time, and I haven't even bought you a bouquet of flowers. Liu Wei said to Yi Ran apologetically, "Wife, haven't you smelled the fragrance of roses for a long time?" β
"Actually, I don't like roses, and I don't like their scent." Yi Ran told Liu Wei frankly.
"Really? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? I always thought you liked it. Liu Wei was surprised when he suddenly heard Yi Ran say this.
"In the past, I thought that after a long time, I would gradually like it, but today I realized that it is not good, whether it is to change others or change myself." Yi Ran told Liu Wei from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you mean? Is it the rose, or are we? Is there anything you'd like me to change? You might as well say it all and I'll judge if I can change it. Liu Wei asked Yiran seriously.
Yi Ran looked at Liu Wei's serious eyes, even if there were a thousand words in his heart, he couldn't say it, who wouldn't understand the truth that the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change? The more we get to know each other, the more disappointed we become, how can we correct our marriage? If you say this, I am afraid that Liu Wei will be hit hard, and I will feel bored, so in the end, I just sighed softly, and said: "No need." β
"What doesn't have to be? Tell me about it. Did you make any decisions? Don't make decisions lightly, I have too little time with you during this time, and you will be cranky alone. When I'm done, can I accompany you on a trip? Recently, Yi Ran's cold attitude and always saying some inexplicable things made Liu Wei feel that she didn't want a divorce.
"No, I didn't make any decisions." Yi Ran knew what Liu Wei was talking about.
"That's good. We are all mature people, don't be naΓ―ve to think about things, marriage is like this, I, as your husband, strive for good living conditions for you, as a wife, as long as you do your duty as a wife. Liu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yi Ran's answer.
In Liu Wei's eyes, the concept of marriage is so clear and unambiguous. Yi Ran was silent, she didn't know how to comment on the marriage that Liu Wei understood, and she could see that his concept of marriage was deeply rooted in his brain.
When eating in the restaurant, Liu Wei ordered a lot of food that Yiran likes to eat, and has been diligently helping Yiran pour water and pick up vegetables, and the service is meticulous. In the past, when Liu Wei treated Yi Ran like this, Yi Ran would regard Liu Wei's actions as love, but today, Liu Wei treated Yi Ran like this, which made Yi Ran feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Yi Ran realized that maybe the so-called love in Liu Wei's heart is to treat the other half as a customer, take care of and serve intimately when he asks for something, even if he doesn't have the slightest sincerity, but as long as the purpose is clear, he will do his best to confuse the truth, but once the contract is signed, it will be revealed.
"I'll do it myself." Yi Ran grabbed ahead of Liu Wei, filled his water cup with water, sandwiched his favorite dishes for his empty plate, and then ate it.
Yi Ran's behavior shocked Liu Wei a little, after all, Yi Ran was a squeamish lady in his heart, and he was used to Liu Wei serving her. In this way, he saved himself a lot of trouble, and he couldn't ask for it, so he really praised Yiran: "My wife, in the days without my company, I have changed a lot!" β
"I haven't changed. Before I knew you, I lived like this, I didn't need to be taken care of by others, and I wasn't a squeamish lady. It's just that you thought of me as that way and wanted me to live that way. β
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Liu Wei asked Yiran unwillingly.
"I always thought it was your way of loving me." Yi Ran still replied indifferently.
"That's right. Because I love you, I take care of you and pamper you. Even if you're really a squeamish lady, I'm willing. Liu Wei's face brightened, and he said in a smooth tone.
"Later, I found out that this is how you love your customers." Yiran smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Wife, you have such a sense of humor! I didn't find out before. This is the legendary treasure wife, haha. Liu Wei laughed cheerfully, he took Yi Ran's sincerity as a joke.
