"My mother wants to ask if you have eaten at my second sister-in-law's house."
"Well, we've eaten. Tell Aunt Si that there's no need to prepare meals for our family of three."
"good."
For some reason, Han Jue always felt that Han Jikou emphasized the meaning when he said "a family of three".
"Where's Haoxuan?" Han Jue asked, "My mom said that children get hungry quickly. Should we give him..."
"No, he's not hungry," Han Ji said impatiently, "I'm his father, how can I let him starve?"
Han Jue felt that Han Ji's tone was a bit harsh, and inexplicably so.
"Second brother...are you...angry?" Han Jue said apologetically, "I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I apologize. Go ahead and do your thing. I won't bother you anymore."
Han Jue turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait," Han Ji called out to him.
He knew his attitude was a bit bad, so he softened his tone and said, "I'm not angry, it's just... I made your second sister-in-law unhappy, and I'm in a bad mood too, so don't take it to heart."
"No," Han Jue glanced at the bedroom door, "Just take your time to coax your second sister-in-law. I'm leaving now."
"Um."
Watching Han Jue go downstairs, Han Ji shook his head helplessly, feeling annoyed again.
Why did he take his anger out on Han Jue for no reason?
He was not this kind of person before. In the Han family, he had always been the second brother who treated others gently and was friendly and respectful to his brothers.
how so?
Is it because Ai Zhiyin admitted that she had a crush on Han Jue before they got married?
As I was thinking, the bedroom door suddenly opened.
"Know..." Han Ji was overjoyed, but when he looked down, he saw that the person who opened the door was Han Haoxuan.
"Dad, come in," Han Haoxuan tilted his head back and peeked out from the door with a sad face, looking very cute.
"Are you sure?" Han Ji was a little unconvinced. He was afraid that it was not Ai Zhiyin's instruction, but Han Haoxuan opened the door for him on his own initiative.
"Mom asked you to come in," Han Haoxuan opened the door wide and walked out. "Mom said she wanted to talk to you alone. I'm going to find grandma."
"Go," Han Ji rubbed Han Haoxuan's head.
However, the little boy looked at him with disgust, and was a little reluctant for Han Ji to touch his head.
Han Ji was helpless and was rejected by Han Haoxuan again.
Han Haoxuan kicked his legs and ran to find his grandmother, while Han Ji walked into the bedroom and closed the door carefully.
His movements were very light, as he was afraid that any noise would make Ai Zhiyin think that he was throwing a tantrum or had a bad attitude.
Ai Zhiyin was sitting on a single sofa by the window, her back to the window and her face turned to one side, as if she was deliberately avoiding looking at him.
Han Ji was a little at a loss for a moment, and didn't even know whether to stand or sit.
I feel like a child who made a mistake and was scolded by the teacher when he was young.
"Friend...I..."
"Have you figured out a solution?"
Han Ji's heart tightened. "I don't have a good solution yet, but what happened this morning... I didn't expect it. I apologize. You can scold me all you want. Just vent your anger as much as you want. Just don't ignore me."
Somehow, Ai Zhiyin's indifference made him feel worse than arguing with him.
"She's my cousin. How can I look her in the face in the future?" Ai Zhiyin turned her head and looked at Han Ji with aggrieved and sad eyes, with a hint of crystal in her eyes.
This was the first time that Han Ji saw Ai Zhiyin looking so aggrieved and a little arrogant.
"I..." Han Ji couldn't utter a word.
He couldn't tell Ai Zhiyin that the reason he got together with Kan Tong was not because he wanted to have an extramarital affair with her, but because... in his eyes, Kan Tong was no different from those high-end peripheries.
But explaining it this way would only make Ai Zhiyin think that he was an even more heartless bastard. It would not have any effect.
Han Ji bowed, squatted in front of Ai Zhiyin, and looked up at her.
She sat sideways with one arm resting on the armrest, looking so dignified.
His hand unconsciously covered her knee, and his other hand covered the hand on her leg.
Ai Zhiyin was a little angry and tried to pull her hand away to stop him from touching her, but Han Ji reacted faster and held Ai Zhiyin's hand tightly.
At this moment, he was extremely gentle and said, "I don't want to make any excuses, and I admit that everything I did was wrong. Of course, I didn't expect you to forgive me, but... apart from saying sorry, it seems that there is really nothing I can do. I was at your house today, and Kan Tong suddenly showed up, which I didn't expect... But this is my fault, and I will find a way to deal with it."
"Zhiyin," he called softly, his voice lingering and tender, "Don't be sad, don't hurt yourself. Please also give me some time to let me deal with Kan Tong's matter. After that... I will cooperate with you in discussing the divorce, and I will also find a way to convince my family to give you the custody of Haoxuan. As for the property issue..."
"I don't need a penny." Ai Zhiyin said.
"Don't be so extreme," Han Ji said, "Since it's marital property, you should have half. Most of my savings... are in the cards I gave you. You can take them all."
Ai Zhiyin's hand, which was held in Han Ji's palm, curled up unconsciously.
"What happened to Kan Tong today... is all my fault," Han Ji said, "I apologize to you again."
Ai Zhiyin's nose felt strangely sour.
She said in a choked voice, "Before yesterday... I never thought I would really get to the point of divorce with you..."
Han Ji: "I know. I haven't thought about it either."
They both thought that they were the best partner in each other's hearts.
Although being together did not start with love, it is enough as long as we get along well and are proud of each other.
Isn’t this how life goes on?
They live like ordinary couples, except that they don't care much about whether both of them are truly emotionally invested in the marriage.
And before yesterday, they both tacitly believed that there was nothing wrong with their marriage and they felt very comfortable in it.
However... everything is just superficial.
A marriage without love will never last long.
Han Ji only regretted that he had not realized his feelings for Ai Zhiyin earlier.
If the affair only made Ai Zhiyin feel hopeless about their marriage, then Kan Tong's appearance at Ai's house this morning was the last straw that broke the camel's back as Han Ji tried desperately to save the marriage.
That's right.
Kan Tong knew that he and Ai Zhiyin were going back to Ai's house this morning, but she showed up on purpose.
Although he didn't make it clear what was going on between them, his words were full of disrespect for Ai Zhiyin.
This was the last thing he wanted to see.
Not to mention that Ai Zhiyin cares too much about her dignity, no one would tolerate such a situation.
However, Ai Zhiyin had no choice but to deal with it with a smile, and carefully begged Kan Tong not to reveal her cards.
Han Ji watched Ai Zhiyin endure humbly in order to maintain her dignity and pride.
He really couldn't bear to watch it.
