Chapter Thirty-Eight
Li Nan had already lain down and fallen asleep when she saw the message. She turned the light back on and checked the message, but she didn't mention her own situation because she didn't want to put any pressure on Xu Weiwei.
If someone initiates a conversation with her, it would be too heartless for her to say she wants to sleep, as she wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, she would never do anything to hurt a girl's feelings.
As for boys, what are they? She would never chat with a guy late at night, and even if she saw his message, she would just read it but not reply. He wasn't worth her time.
Besides, she never believed that there could be pure friendship between a man and a woman; it was always the case that one of them had ulterior motives, or even that both of them harbored secret intentions.
Besides, if she had a boyfriend, she would never allow him to have any female best friends. It's a joke. She doesn't have such a good temper and can't tolerate such a thing.
Her relationship with men is limited to work-related conversations; she would never discuss personal matters with them, and she has no male friends whatsoever.
She has no hobby of raising fish. Even if a man is interested in her, if she doesn't love him, she will make it clear to him immediately and won't let him waste his time on her.
She would even be particularly bothered if her boyfriend had very close male friends, because she felt that the relationship wouldn't last long.
Her view is that a person only needs one good relationship, just like her parents, who are the best lovers, best friends, and best family.
If her boyfriend thinks his brother is more important than him, after all, they've had a relationship for so many years, how can he just cut it off like that? There's no point in continuing the entanglement.
If a man doesn't put her first, it means she might have initially placed him first. However, once she realizes her true status, she won't put him first anymore. Her first priority will become her favorite game, clothes, toys, or something else entirely—anything but him.
She's become less in love. Is the guy a fool? Obviously not. Nobody's a fool. Everyone knows how to play the game of love. He could sense her indifference and fading affection, and he would definitely mind.
Therefore, this romantic relationship is destined to fall apart. Friendship, romantic love, and familial love are all of the same level; if someone takes a place in someone else's relationship, then the rest of the people are destined to be inferior to the one who took that place first.
Unless it's all just for fun, like many playboys and womanizers who have a whole repertoire of sweet talk, and their so-called dating tricks only trap those who aren't truly in love. In essence, it's a relationship of mutual benefit, not a romantic one.
Maybe I'm attracted by the emotional value you can provide, and I don't have to take responsibility for you. You're just playing with my feelings anyway, so I'll just play along and relieve some boredom. I don't need to take it seriously. Whoever takes it more seriously is the loser.
I actually think the most foolish thing is that some people get dumped and then think about becoming successful in their careers so that the person who broke up with them will regret it.
It's really like a joke: you weren't that successful back then, but she was still willing to be with you. Why? Because of love.
So why did she break up with you later? Because she stopped loving you. What's the point of you becoming a better person then? How could your ex-girlfriend possibly regret it?
She chose to be with you not because of your material wealth, but because of who you are. Even if you later became incredibly wealthy and the world's richest person, she still wouldn't love you. She would never regret it; your success was ultimately just something she was happy about.
I've noticed you really love shipping couples. You've talked to me a lot about love. When can we talk about other things? Life isn't just about love.
There are many more, such as the variety show we're recording today. This isn't your first time participating in a recording. How was it? Did you feel okay? Are you comfortable under so many cameras?
I think you did quite well today, your performance was very natural. I think you'll attract a lot of fans after this variety show airs; everyone will like your personality, it's really charming.
Xu Weiwei received the message, checked it immediately, and quickly sent back a long message.
I'm just someone who loves shipping couples, there's no way around it, I've changed. There's so much I want to say about love, I can't even finish saying it all.
By the way, I've actually seen a couple who look a lot like your parents, an old lady and an old man. The old lady is 103 years old and the old man is 95 years old.
The old lady even acted coquettishly towards the old man, saying that no one kissed her at home anymore, no one really loved her, and she was someone no one cared about.
The old man immediately kissed the old woman, which I found quite heartwarming. Even at such an old age, he acted like a child in front of his loved one, being unreasonable and throwing a little tantrum.
It's about being sure you're loved and pampered. I think the best way to love someone is to pamper them like a child.
When facing a loved one, one unconsciously lowers their voice, raises their voice, and deliberately pretends to be very kind, for fear of scaring their beloved child.
They will also doubt their partner countless times, wondering if they love them less, if they have someone else, or if they are doing something bad behind their backs.
I have another conflicting issue regarding the husband handing over his salary. If I were the husband, I definitely wouldn't want to, because it violates my human rights.
Why would I gamble all my money on you not betraying me? Don't I have any way out for myself? But think about it: many young people send large sums of money they earn back to their parents after they go out to work, instead of keeping it for themselves.
After marriage, handing over the child to one's wife seems reasonable, there's not much difference, since the wife will also bear children for him, and under normal circumstances, they won't get divorced.
Most women have a conscience and wouldn't abscond with the money, but in reality, some women will actually run away with all the money after marriage, leaving the man with nothing but loss after getting married.
Many relationships don't actually require marriage. If you're only dating, then not getting married is perfectly fine. Women always have one more value than men: their reproductive value.
Men will casually find a woman to marry and have children, even without love. Just like many real-life gay men who commit marriage fraud, the wife gives birth to his child, and then he stops having sex with her altogether. He becomes sexually apathetic, and even when his wife tries to seduce him, she can't succeed.
The wife was having existential doubts, feeling that her husband didn't love her as much anymore, and wondering if she had done something wrong. In reality, her husband was a liar; he hadn't truly loved her in the first place, but only wanted to trick her into marriage and have a child with another woman.
Some gay men, even after marriage, still have affairs with other men, treating same-sex relationships as their life and heterosexual relationships as just a formality. Some women are even quite foolish.
It's about a lesbian and a gay man getting married in a marriage of convenience, and then the woman was forced to have a child. I think it's crazy. If you're a lesbian and you don't even have the courage to be honest with your family, and you still have to go through this marriage of convenience, then what kind of lesbian are you? You should just go to sleep.
There are also couples who agree to be childless before marriage, but the man goes back on his word after marriage and demands that the woman have children. I also know a couple who were in love for eight years and broke up because the man wanted children, but the woman refused to have them.
Later, the man married a woman he didn't like so much. They had four children after marriage, the first three being girls, and the fourth one finally fulfilled his wish, a boy.
Do men value love that much? No, they are the kind of people who feel that even if they have a wife and children, they can still pursue their true love and have affairs to seek so-called novelty.
He might even love young girls forever, while his wife, who had been with him for over thirty or forty years, had long since aged and lost her beauty, and he no longer found her appealing.
Such women often appear very clear-headed to the outside world, reluctant to divorce, and very magnanimous, because they know that they won't be very happy without a well-off husband.
She's not good enough in any way. Even if someone chooses to love her, it's probably because they're after her money, not her as a person. They might as well hold onto what they can hold onto.
As long as her husband doesn't divorce her, her position is relatively secure. She can utilize her husband's connections and spend his money.
As for her husband's heart, she no longer cares. Anyway, he's just an ugly old man now, and she doesn't love him that much. She only loves his money. So what if he cheats? It really doesn't matter.
As onlookers, we might not understand why some women can tolerate their husbands cheating. It's simply because they no longer love them! It's that simple; there's no other reason.
Just like a woman who doesn't love a man, she can be very rational and emotionally stable in many things, without any emotion at all.
So whenever I see a couple where one partner says they hate that their partner is too emotional, they are just trying to solve the problem rationally.
I find it terrifying that you can be so rational even when you're in love. I can only be like that when I don't love someone.
So, do you not love me? I'm actually very afraid of being in a relationship. My partner is very calm and rational when communicating with me, without any emotion.
I think this is terrifying. I feel like this person doesn't love me at all. I can't feel any emotions towards him. He can be very rational when he's with me.
What I need isn't your rationality, but your love for me. If you don't love me, then what's the point of us being together? Is it just a waste of each other's time?
