Chapter 122 Jiang Yaqin's Marriage Crisis
Under her mother's stern and almost unquestionable supervision, Ke Xin had no choice but to take off the sky blue suspender dress she had carefully prepared.
Every pattern and every decoration on that suspender skirt was carefully selected by her. Every embroidery seemed to carry her girlish thoughts, and every inlaid rhinestone shone with her pursuit of beauty.
She had been filled with joy, fully expecting to surprise Sinan today, but now she could only reluctantly say goodbye. That farewell was like waving goodbye to a cherished dream, a sense of loss and reluctance flickering in her eyes.
Reluctantly, she changed into a set of clothes that her mother thought was relatively normal, a casual sportswear with an old style and dull color.
The neckline of the dress was so high that it almost covered her slender neck, making her look very restrictive. The sleeves were too long and loose, making her arms look thick and clumsy.
The main body of the garment was a featureless dark grey, devoid of any pattern or ornamentation, as if haphazardly cut from a dull piece of cloth.
The pants were a loose straight-leg style, which not only failed to enhance her leg lines, but made her legs look short, thick and unattractive.
Ke Xin felt that the style and color of the dress were so bland, making her feel as if she had lost her luster. Ke Xin felt that the style and color of the dress were so bland, making her feel as if she had lost her luster.
She also felt that the dress was dull in color and conservative in style, failing to showcase her youthful vitality and unique personality. "This is over! Brother Sinan definitely won't even look at me today!" Ke Xin secretly complained in her heart.
She pouted, her face full of reluctance, her delicate pink lips curled up high enough to hold a bottle of oil. The dissatisfaction in her heart was like a volcano about to erupt, and anger was accumulating in her eyes. But she didn't dare to express it!
But she didn't give up. She kept thinking of a solution in her mind. She had an idea. From now on, she would put the clothes that her mother didn't allow her to wear in the company lounge. She could change into them when she got to the company and change back when she got off work. Wouldn't that be fine?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, with a sly glint in her eyes. But she immediately suppressed the joy that was about to overflow. She must not let her mother see that she had a solution, otherwise her clothes would be taken away and she would have no place to cry!
Looking at her mother who was still busy in the house, Ke Xin said in a clear voice, "Mom, I'm going to work!" Her voice was as clear and pleasant as the oriole in the early morning, but there was a trace of imperceptible guilt hidden in it.
When Jiang Yaqin heard Kexin's voice, she stopped what she was doing, turned around and asked, "Kexin, aren't you going to have breakfast?" Her eyes showed concern and confusion.
"Well, I'm not eating at home. I'm going to the company to eat with Brother Sinan. He's still waiting for me." After saying that, Ke Xin quickly slipped away with a guilty conscience! Her steps were hurried, as if she was afraid that her mother would notice.
Jiang Yaqin smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly.
She really has no idea what to do with Kexin. This child has always had her own ideas and a stubborn personality. I hope she can handle the relationship with Nannan well!
She looked at Ke Xin's departing back, sighed softly, and continued to work on the things at hand.
Jiang Yaqin carefully placed the proposal she had compiled yesterday about overhauling the Logistics Department into her file folder. She had spent countless hours and hours on it the previous night, each page bearing the weight of her thought and effort. She absolutely could not allow the perverse tendencies of the Logistics Department to affect her!
After finishing her preparations, she sat down at the dining table gracefully and began to enjoy the carefully prepared breakfast.
She had prepared her favorite cake and fruit salad for Kexin earlier, but she was no longer around, leaving her no time to savor the delicious food. The delicious food felt like chewing wax in her mouth, and she chewed mechanically, her thoughts drifting away.
After eating, Jiang Yaqin got up and left home, went to her garage, and drove to the hospital to work.
Along the way, she was still feeling a little down, thinking back to yesterday, Lao Xia still hadn't come home, and she didn't know what he was busy with. This made her feel a little lost.
Jiang Yaqin sat in the car, and the figure of Lao Xia kept appearing in her mind.
She and Lao Xia had met in their youth, a time filled with energy and dreams. Lao Xia was sunny, handsome, and humorous, always making her laugh. Together, they strolled along the campus paths, dreaming of a better life ahead.
After graduation, they walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand, vowing to be together for life. Both of them work in the hospital. The difference is that Jiang Yaqin was assigned to the hospital after graduation, while Lao Xia's ancestors had worked in the hospital pharmacy for generations. The kind of son inherited his father's business. After Kexin's grandfather retired, he took over directly and continued to work in the hospital pharmacy.
In this way, as time went by, Jiang Yaqin's career aspirations became higher and higher, and her position changed all the time, but Lao Xia's work seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
The communication between them gradually became less and less, and the passion they once had gradually faded away during the long years of not seeing each other.
After Jiang Yaqin was promoted to vice president, her work became busier and she got home later and later.
Although Lao Xia didn't say it, Jiang Yaqin could feel the dissatisfaction and loss in his heart.
She knew that Lao Xia was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem. Seeing his wife's career flourishing while his own was stagnant, he would inevitably feel disappointed.
Sometimes, Jiang Yaqin tried to communicate with Lao Xia to ease the tension between them, but Lao Xia always remained silent or brushed it off with a few simple words, which made Jiang Yaqin feel extremely helpless and confused.
She had also reflected on whether she was too focused on work and ignored Lao Xia's feelings. She tried hard to make amends, but every time it was like punching cotton, with no power.
Nowadays, Lao Xia often doesn't come home. Jiang Yaqin doesn't know what he is doing outside, whether he is avoiding this home and avoiding her.
This uncertainty made her feel extremely anxious and worried. She was afraid that the distance between them would grow farther and farther, and the beautiful memories they once had would be completely buried by time.
Jiang Yaqin took a deep breath, trying to drive these thoughts out of her mind and focus on the road ahead.
But she knew in her heart that her relationship with Lao Xia had reached a critical juncture. If they did not find a solution as soon as possible, their marriage might face a huge crisis.
A seemingly peaceful day is about to begin, but the undercurrent of change is quietly surging.
Beneath that calm exterior lay countless unknown variables and challenges. Hospital relationships, work pressures, family chores—each one was like a hidden reef, threatening to sway her life at any moment.
