Chapter 401: Was he abandoned?
Zhou Yong’s departure was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking Li Caiyun’s inner peace.
As the evening approached, the sky gradually darkened.
Zhou Yong returned home at nearly seven o'clock. He thought that Li Caiyun would take the initiative to coax him as usual, but the result was completely opposite to what he imagined.
Li Caiyun was minding her own business, as if she didn't notice him coming back at all!
Zhou Yong was a little surprised and confused.
He deliberately walked in front of Li Caiyun to show his presence, but found that she didn't even look at him.
Zhou Yong: “…?”
What is going on?
In an instant, Zhou Yong felt an inexplicable sense of loss, because for so many years, Li Caiyun had always been around him, and suddenly she ignored him. The loss was indescribable.
It was also at this moment that Zhou Yong suddenly realized that he might have really gone too far this time.
Even if Li Caiyun said something wrong, I shouldn't treat her like this. Besides, the reason why Li Caiyun said those words was for the good of him and this family.
Zhou Yong pursed his lips slightly, his eyes always following Li Caiyun's every move, thinking about what to do next.
Li Caiyun was really angry this time. She originally thought it was just a trivial matter.
Not only did he admit his mistake, he also apologized to Zhou Yong, hoping to calm the storm.
However, even though she repeatedly admitted her mistakes, Zhou Yong did not say a word of forgiveness to her. Instead, he left home and left her alone.
At that moment, Li Caiyun was confused and felt physically and mentally exhausted. Suddenly she realized that in their marriage, it seemed that she had always been accommodating Zhou Yong.
Therefore, she decided to change this situation and stop living without a self.
Zhou Yong cleared his throat and tried to attract Li Caiyun's attention, but unfortunately she didn't even look at him and continued to sew shoe soles.
He cleared his throat again without giving up. Li Baotian frowned and asked, "Does your throat hurt?"
Zhou Yong's mind was in turmoil, and he lied without blushing or panting as he replied, "Dad, I think I have a cold."
Before Li Baotian could reply, Zhang Guifang said, "Mom will get you some cold medicine."
Zhou Yong's eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Caiyun. He noticed that his wife was indifferent to his cold. The care and comfort he had expected were completely gone at this moment, which made him feel depressed in an instant.
Zhou Yong took the cold medicine handed to him by Zhang Guifang and went back to the bedroom.
The moment he turned around, Li Caiyun raised her head slightly and her eyes fell quietly on his back.
Zhou Yong returned to the bedroom, stared at the cold medicine for a moment, then he looked at the time.
At half past seven, Li Caiyun still had no intention of going back to the bedroom to rest. Zhou Yong thought about it and came out to wash his feet.
At eight o'clock, Zhou Yong tossed and turned in bed, then he got up and went to the bathroom.
At nine o'clock, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard in the living room. Zhou Yong knew it was the sound of Li Caiyun walking.
He mistakenly thought that his wife was coming back, so Zhou Yong quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Then, there was a sudden shrill sound of a door opening next door, and then the entire living room fell into silence.
Zhou Yong slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
Has he been abandoned?
Or was he treated with cold violence by his wife?
Zhou Yong was upset. He tossed and turned in his bed for about five or six minutes. Then he suddenly sat up.
No, he has to get his wife back, because whether a couple lives separately or sleeps in separate beds, it has a huge impact on their marriage.
Zhou Yong got downstairs wearing pajamas and a vest. The moment he opened the door, the door next door was also opened.
The couple looked at each other. Li Caiyun looked at him and said, "Remember to turn off the lights in the living room."
After speaking, Li Caiyun returned to her room, and Zhou Yong responded dryly.
Zhou Yong glanced at the empty living room, turned off the lights, and happily returned to his room.
When he entered the room, Li Caiyun had spread out another pair of bedding, which made Zhou Yong raise his eyebrows.
"Why make another bed?"
Li Caiyun glanced at him and said, "It's none of your business."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips, took off his shoes and got on the kang. Li Caiyun spread the bedding, took off her clothes and got into the bed.
Seeing this, Zhou Yong looked at her and raised his hand to turn off the light.
The room fell into darkness and neither of them spoke. After about five or six minutes, Zhou Yong shamelessly crawled into his wife's bed.
In the darkness, Li Caiyun curled her lips and a faint smile appeared in her eyes. Unfortunately, Zhou Yong did not see or notice this scene.
"Angry?"
Li Caiyun rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "Do I have the right to be angry? Do I dare to be angry in front of you?"
There was a strong resentment and deep dissatisfaction in her words, which made Zhou Yong unconsciously smile.
At this moment, Zhou Yong felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
It was just a casual conversation, why did he say those words and pretend to be angry and leave home?
Just accept your wife's apology and that's it!
Now, my wife has been made unhappy, and I have to rack my brains to appease her.
Zhou Yong regrets his decision, but unfortunately there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Fortunately, he has lived two lives as a human being, and Li Caiyun still has feelings for him, so under Zhou Yong's sweet words, the relationship between the couple was finally eased.
However, this time Li Caiyun did not intend to forgive Zhou Yong easily as she had done in the past. After careful consideration, she put forward three clear and firm demands.
First, Li Caiyun emphasized the importance of fairness.
She made it clear that in the future, Zhou Yong should no longer lecture her all the time.
Li Caiyun hopes that the dialogue between the two will be based on equality and respect, rather than one-sided accusations and teachings.
After all, everyone has their own ideas and opinions, and we should listen to and understand each other instead of simply imposing our own ideas on others.
Secondly, she doesn’t want to be bound or restricted anymore.
Deep in her heart, Li Caiyun has always had a wish that no matter whether it is a big or small matter in life or a decision at work, she can make choices based on her own wishes and judgment, instead of being forced to accept Zhou Yong's arrangements and opinions under his shadow.
More importantly, Li Caiyun is eager to start a business through her own efforts and achieve financial independence.
She did not want to rely on Zhou Yong's protection for a long time, but hoped to spread her wings and fly to the wider blue sky.
After listening to Li Caiyun's words, Zhou Yong's heart was in turmoil.
For a long time, Zhou Yong has been like a solid fortress beside Li Caiyun, protecting her under his wings and shielding her from the ups and downs of the outside world.
He believed that everything he did for Li Caiyun was for her own good and out of his concern and love for her. However, he did not realize that his seemingly meticulous care had gradually become a shackle that bound Li Caiyun.
Thinking back on the past, Zhou Yong finally realized his problem. He suddenly realized that what he once thought was good for Li Caiyun might not be what she really needed!
