"He's an excellent person, works in a classified unit, and is a good man, isn't he!"

She gazed at the moonlight and asked herself, "But what about me? My father doesn't love me, my mother doesn't care for me, and I'm just an ordinary person."

"After spending a long time together, he might develop some different feelings for me, but what about the future?"

My life isn't exciting; in fact, I've been dragged down by it all. After romance, the mundane realities of daily life are no different from those of aunties like Li Dazui and Ma Dajiao.

They can't even take good care of their children.

I read a report about a girl who grew up in a family that favored sons over daughters, and after marriage, she tried desperately to make up for what she lacked in her children.

But because she grew up in a dysfunctional family and had never been loved, she also doesn't know how to love others.

Everything was fine before Mao Dun's outburst, but when unexpected situations arose in her child's studies or life, she lacked the proper understanding to handle them.

Her subconscious reaction might be to mimic her parents' past behavior of yelling, hitting, and even having mental breakdowns!

She turned back, her smile tinged with tears, "Xianxian, Xiaxia, I've put myself in their shoes. I feel like I could be that kind of mother."

I have never been loved, so I cannot love.

What about Fan Caicai? His environment means he's surrounded by women as outstanding as you all.

I don't want him to be left with only regret after the passion fades, and his life to become a mess.

It's better not to start at all than to go through with this.

Ruan Xianxian frowned. Zhao Di's words were full of self-deprecation and doubt, indicating that her family of origin had deeply hurt her.

This inferiority complex, both internal and external, was instilled in her by her family from birth and is deeply ingrained.

How can seventeen years of suppression be cured in just three years?

Since ordinary methods were not working, she was about to use their own methods against them and brainwash them in the same way that Zhaodi's parents did when she heard soft footsteps coming from around the corner behind her.

"If you don't know how to love, I can teach you." That's Fan Caicai.

He stepped out of the shadows under the moonlight, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming in the moonlight.

"You're not me, so how do you know that passion fades and my choice isn't you?"

He nodded slightly to Mu Xia and Xian Xian, then stepped forward to stop Zhao Di, who was trying to escape.

Her voice carried a calm tone, “I lost both my parents at a young age, and I was raised by outstanding women like Comrade Ruan and Comrade Mu.”

They taught me resilience, skills, and even martial arts.

I've had everything since I was little; I've received more than everyone else.

I'm not afraid people will think I'm being dramatic by saying this, but I have everything, except a home.

He took a breath.

"My salary and performance bonuses are quite good, but I still haven't bought a house because when I go back to my cold and empty home, I'm all alone."

It's not that Comrade Ruan and Comrade Mu aren't outstanding; quite the opposite, I've been surrounded by such outstanding women since childhood, so I don't feel anything else for them—they're more like colleagues.

Fan Caicai's lips curled up, revealing a hint of mockery and sharpness. "You can also interpret it as me only seeing them as my mother, as my elders!"

Chen Zhaodi was dumbfounded.

"You are resilient, hardworking, clear-headed, ambitious, beautiful, and outstanding, yet not quite perfect, like the moon in the sky, fulfilling all my fantasies about a wife."

He stepped forward and said, “In my expectations, home is a place filled with the warmth of everyday life. I allow you to argue and make a fuss, but you don’t have to break down because I’m here for you.”

He paused, then looked up. "Zhao Di, give me a chance."

Chen Zhaodi panicked and quickly tried to find excuses for herself, "Everything you said is based on imagination. What if you find that your expectations are not as good as reality after marriage?"

The mundane details of daily life, like cooking rice and oil, are nothing special and can even become tiresome.

Why do we yearn for something we've never had, only to find out it's not what we wanted after we've gotten it?

When I was little, I dreamed of eating braised pork. I felt that if I could eat it every day, I wouldn't trade it for anything, not even a god's blessing. Now that I can eat it every day, I find braised pork too greasy.

What a logical and cautious girl, Fan Caicai thought with a growing smile in her eyes.

He did not refute Zhao Di's concerns, and even saw through her problem at a glance.

The guy surnamed Wu from before probably had an even more flowery confession than I have now, so I nodded.

Indeed, an empty promise is not as valuable as a penny that falls on the ground.

“Right!” Zhao Di’s eyes lit up; Fan Cai Cai understood her.

Ruan Xianxian covered her eyes. Is it possible that this is a case of "dimensional reduction attack"?

She gave him a warning look, signaling him not to go too far!

Fan Caicai took a deep breath and stood there pondering, "How about I give you all my assets?"

"What?"

Fan Caicai showed his sincerity.

“My monthly salary is 230, with bonuses that vary. I haven’t saved much over the years, but my parents’ inheritance, excluding gold, amounts to over 100,000. I will give all of this to you before we get married.”

It would be a lie to say that Chen Zhaodi was unmoved.

Fan Caicai is still working on it: "If I refuse to hand over my salary for any reason or in any form for even one month after we get married, don't even think about it, just kick me out."

Don't worry about me secretly saving up a secret stash of money for you, unless Miyano abandons his wife and colludes with me.

To be honest, the man on the other end of the line was very sincere, but Zhao Di still couldn't make a decision.

To put it modestly, what is she without two good girlfriends pulling her along? She's just a drop in the ocean, and given the other party's criteria for choosing a partner, she could easily catch any fish by casting a wide net.

If she voices her concerns, will she seem ungrateful?

Ruan Xianxian and Mu Xia were secretly worried for her.

But Zhao Di's concerns were not unfounded. Relationships are a lifelong matter, and no matter how deep the friendship is, you can't criticize your best friend.

In Mu Xia's view, relationships are a gamble. Let alone a marriage between two families, there is nothing in the world that can be guaranteed to succeed.
