"Murray, dear!"
Deng Liping's voice was filled with sweet temptation. She walked slowly to MacLehose's side, gently placed a hand on his shoulder, and leaned close to him. "Haven't you finished with the study yet? Today is my birthday... You promised me..."
Her fingers slid lightly across the back of his neck, the hint of her meaning obvious.
MacLehose's body stiffened slightly. He felt his wife's warm breath and soft body, but he only felt that the chill that was extinguished by government affairs became even stronger. His lower abdomen was empty. Where was the warmth from before?
He could even feel the resistance and...powerlessness in his heart.
I'm afraid most middle-aged men can relate to this feeling.
I would rather smoke downstairs, go fishing, go out to play games, and do housework at home than go home early at night to go to bed and face my wife who is as fierce as a wolf in her thirties and as fierce as a tiger in her forties.
This is not only a physical problem, but also a direct destruction of the fig leaf of male self-esteem by the physical problem.
"Delaney, I..."
MacLehose forced an awkward and bitter smile on his face. He was trying to avoid his wife's intimacy without leaving any trace. He said, "I'm sorry, I just received a call from Shen Bi. Things... are a bit tricky. This is related to the financial stability of Hong Kong Island. I must..."
"Murray!"
Deng Liping was originally in a good mood, but when she heard that there was another excuse to leave, the tenderness on her face froze instantly, and was replaced by incredible anger and the humiliation of being teased.
Do you use this trick every day?
Hide, hide, hide...
No, then no!
No matter how busy, chaotic or urgent it is, can't you spare a few minutes?
Deng Liping also abruptly pulled her hand back, her voice suddenly rising, no longer as gentle and virtuous as before. She glared at him and questioned him sharply, "Work again! Financial stability again! Is there ever a day in Hong Kong without difficult things? But my birthday only comes once a year!"
Today is my birthday! You specially prepared that bottle of Chinese wine! You even told me what it was, 'Tiger Bone Aphrodisiac Wine,' and said you'd definitely satisfy me tonight!
What happened? You finished the wine, but a phone call made you completely give up?!
"No, dear, let me explain..."
MacLehose tried to appease her, but his wife's anger was like a volcanic eruption, and anyone who touched her would die.
In fact, in a family, men are always in a dominant position, and women always sacrifice themselves to cooperate with men. As the hidden grievances accumulate over time, there will really be a day when a small thing will become a fuse and erupt like a volcano.
At this time, men will think that women are being unreasonable. Is it worth it?
How could they know that over countless days and nights, the woman's grievances accumulated day by day, and every time she endured it in silence, she was met with more disappointment again and again!
"Explain? What else is there to explain?"
Deng Liping was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her beautiful face was covered with frost.
Finally, she could no longer bear it and angrily shouted at MacLehose: "I understand when you say you are tired and stressed, but today is my birthday!
You even drank that wine! What happened? Still no effect! Murray, what's wrong with you? Is that wine useless, or is it that you... you don't even have me in your heart, only your governorship and those endless messes?! Can't you even give me a few minutes... a few minutes?
There was a tearful tone in her voice, full of grievance and disappointment.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
She had been looking forward to this day for nearly half a year.
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I started thinking about what clothes to wear, what kind of perfume to spray, how to match my underwear, and how to coordinate in bed later...
But the interest and fun that was so hard to build up were so easily destroyed because of a phone call?
She couldn't understand, nor did she want to understand.
"Delaney, I..."
Murray MacLehose was also speechless after being questioned, and his face turned red and white.
What can he say?
That "tiger bone wine" might just be a placebo?
Saying that he was completely distracted by Kobayashi Tenmo's mess and had lost interest? That would only make the situation worse.
The physical weakness and inner restlessness intertwined with each other made him feel deeply frustrated and embarrassed.
Man! It's hard!
It’s even more difficult for middle-aged men.
This is true throughout history, both in China and abroad!
“That’s enough!”
Deng Liping looked at her husband who seemed to be hesitant to speak and looked dejected, and her last bit of patience was exhausted.
She glared at MacLehose fiercely, her eyes full of disappointment, anger and contempt.
"Bang!" A loud noise!
Deng Liping suddenly opened the door leading to the bedroom from the study, and then used all her strength to slam the heavy solid wooden door shut!
The huge sound of the door made MacLehose's scalp tingle.
He stood there blankly, looking at the tightly closed bedroom door that seemed to separate the two worlds, and then looked down at his friend who was still "thinking about his hometown".
An indescribable fatigue, mixed with frustration and anger, surged into my heart.
He slumped down in the high-back chair behind the desk, rubbing his face vigorously with both hands, which eventually turned into a heavy and helpless sigh that echoed in the empty study for a long time.
It’s Kobayashi Tenmo again!
