Chapter 358
When they first got together, she thought it was probably what people call the passionate love period or the honeymoon period, where you just want to be together so much that nothing matters. Wang Jiazhi thought at the time that maybe it was because she already had feelings for him, or maybe it was because she had sacrificed so much, so she didn't reject that from the beginning and even wanted it so badly. But then she calmed down and thought about it, and it seemed that it was neither of those things. She just felt from the beginning that he was the only one who should be with her, that it was natural. Later, when she found out she was pregnant, she knew it was ridiculous, but she wanted to give birth to the child so badly. It seems that it wasn't because of those reasons, but because she felt that she should give birth to the child, that she deserved to have such a child.
The transition from a passionate life to a peaceful one, and the birth of a child, was a natural progression, just as it should be, without any significant difference or discomfort. It was just that she never dared to tell him about her past, always feeling she had let him down.
While being single in his circle was rare, it wasn't impossible. He'd seen one or two couples, from young to old, some of whom didn't even have children. But their relationship was strong. They weren't like him, who didn't want a partner at all. They'd rather adopt a child than take a concubine. Many people found it incredible, but he was surprised. He actually felt he could understand it, and sometimes even had the absurd thought that he might have that kind of relationship in his life.
But the reality was that he had a wife, but their relationship was a dull one, neither love nor resentment. He had no special feelings for his family; it was just a place to live with a wife he couldn't even remember the year she married. Later, under immense mental pressure, he began to indulge in women.
Someone once asked him, "Now that you've settled down, isn't it boring to have just one wife?" He thought about playing with women the way he used to. He didn't think anything of it. Just like when he was younger, he still liked to take a few extra glances at beautiful women, but it wasn't the same kind of voluptuous pursuit he'd had back then; it was pure admiration. He had never imagined living a normal life with someone, even having a child, and then just peacefully eating, sleeping, and raising the child. Yet, everything seemed natural, as if it had always been that way.
