Simingda could not resist the temptation of Luo Yingtao's beauty and could not forget the intoxicating feeling of his first love, but he did not lose his mind. No matter how he lived a life of debauchery outside, a peaceful and stable family was still very important to him. Although Wang Mudan was not beautiful and did not have the breathtaking beauty of Luo Yingtao, she could make money, take care of the family, and care for the children. Such a wife made him feel at ease.
Deep down, he really couldn't forget Luo Yingtao, but this kind of love only added a little spice to his ordinary life. He never thought of abandoning his family.
"Wang Mudan, if I had something to hide, I wouldn't be telling you so much. Don't go on and on."
Si Mingda avoided the truth and never gave a direct answer to Wang Mudan's questions. To put it bluntly, he still had something to hide. As long as he had done nothing wrong, he had nothing to fear. It was not normal for two married men and women to date in private, not to mention that they were once first love. How could Wang Mudan not be suspicious?
"Don't make it sound so fresh and refined. To put it bluntly, it's just that you can't forget the old love and are still connected!" Wang Mudan retorted to Si Mingda in an emotional outburst.
"That's enough. Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to take a shower. You should go to bed early too. Don't disturb the child's rest."
Si Mingda was troubled by Wang Mudan's endless interrogation. After more than ten years of being together, this was the first time he was so humble in front of her. If it weren't for the child, he would have lost control of his hot temper long ago.
It was already midnight. He had been drinking during the day and was already feeling very sleepy and weak. Without waiting for Wang Mudan's answer, he got up and went straight to the bathroom.
Faced with Si Ming's nonchalant attitude, Wang Mudan felt a chill in her heart. It's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. Hadn't she been attracted to his courage, bravery, and resourcefulness back then? Now, faced with his ruthless betrayal, she felt a sense of desolation, a sorrow beyond measure.
She couldn't help but think of Zhang Ailing's famous saying: There are two roses in a man's heart, a red rose and a white rose. If you marry the red rose, over time, the red one will become mosquito blood on the wall, and the white one will still be "the bright moon in front of the bed"; if you marry the white rose, the white one will be a grain of rice on your clothes, and the red one will become a cinnabar mole on your heart.
Zhang Ailing has good writing skills, so she can describe the bad nature of men who are greedy for beauty while "eating from the bowl and looking at the pot" in a poetic way. In fact, to put it in popular language, the nature of men is to "keep the red flag flying at home and the colorful flags flying outside" to satisfy their vanity of "having both a nanny to take care of his children and beautiful women to support him in appearance."
Wang Mudan felt sorry for herself. She didn't know whether in Simingda's heart she was "mosquito blood", "cinnabar mole", or a nanny who could take care of his children and make money?
She couldn't understand why men's hearts were never satisfied. Why couldn't she be his "white moonlight" or "cinnabar mole"? Could he abandon his sense of family responsibility just to lust after Luo Yingtao's beauty?
Wang Mudan wanted to have a big quarrel with him, but considering that it was late at night and the three children were asleep, she didn't want to disturb the children's rest, so she had to swallow her anger and return to the room.
She had a splitting headache the entire night, and cried all night long until dawn. She simply couldn't accept that after fifteen years of devotion, he would just be indifferent and cheat on her. How could she bear it?
He kept saying that he and Luo Yingtao had only met once since the last banquet, but judging from his uneasy expression, it was obviously an excuse. She thought about it all night long, and her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe. She knew very well that from today on, the relationship that she had painstakingly maintained for twelve years would no longer be able to maintain its original peace.
The next morning, perhaps feeling guilty, Simingda actually offered to take his two daughters to school. The eldest daughter took his hand and asked sweetly, "Dad, you promised to buy me the music sheet yesterday. Did you buy it?"
"Jia Li, Dad came back too late yesterday because of business. I must buy it for you today, okay?"
"You have to keep your word!"
"Don't worry, Dad will bring it back to you tonight, okay?"
“Okay, thanks Dad!”
The eldest daughter asked her father for a gift. The second daughter, who was only four years old, also asked in a coquettish voice: "Dad, I want a Minnie doll. Can you buy it for me?"
Simingda hugged his second daughter, kissed her on the cheek, and said lovingly, "Huihui, you go to school first. Daddy will bring everything back tonight, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Dad!"
The world of children is pure and innocent. Simingda coaxed his two daughters with a few words, then picked up his son from the cradle and kissed his cute little face a few times: "Hey, daddy's good son, I will definitely come back early to play with you tonight!"
Although he has a domineering personality, is decisive in business, and is usually indifferent to Wang Mudan, it has to be admitted that he is still quite caring towards his three children. He is usually busy with work and rarely asks about his two daughters' studies, but as long as they ask for travel or buying gifts, he will always respond.
He had been planning to take the children hiking yesterday, but he cancelled the plan casually for Luo Yingtao. This incident dealt a heavy blow to Wang Mudan, no less than having a customer run away and cheated out of the money.
She suppressed her inner unhappiness and pretended to be calm as she watched the rare warm scene in front of her. She felt mixed emotions. It seemed that last night's quarrel had some effect. Did he seem to have a change of heart today?
After Si Mingda finished packing, he picked up his second daughter and said to Wang Mudan, "I'll take the eldest and second daughter to school first. You can go directly to the company later. You didn't get enough rest last night, so it's okay for you to go later. I'll arrange for someone to take care of the company's affairs."
