"If you really want to work, I can also apply to the institute and help you find an easier clerical job close to home with good pay..."
Listening to his words, the corners of Zhou Yunwan's mouth, which were originally upturned, gradually shrank back, and her mouth was slightly open, unable to make any sound for a while.
She stared at Shen Yanli blankly, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. Was he asking her to resign and stay at home?
But they had clearly agreed on this before. She didn't want to be a housewife, and he agreed. In her impression, he was always open-minded and would not interfere with her work at will. He also supported her pursuit of her favorite career.
There must be a reason why he said that.
After realizing this, Zhou Yunwan frowned, held his hand with her slender white fingers, and said softly, "Why do you suddenly say that? I like this job very much. I don't want to quit or change jobs at the moment."
She stated her position in a gentle tone and slowly persuaded him to change his mind to avoid an unnecessary quarrel over the matter.
The woman's beautiful face came into view, with her hair stuck to the sides of her face, revealing a small section of her white, pointed chin. I hadn't seen her for a while, and she seemed to have become a little thinner than before.
Shen Yanli reached out and covered her cheek, unable to stop feeling distressed and sympathetic.
...
...
She had told him before that being an actor is a glamorous profession. All one has to do is dress up beautifully, stand in front of the camera and act according to the script. She also gets to experience a different life. She likes this job very much.
But what she didn't say was that this job required exposure to the sun and wind, that if the photos were not taken well, one would be scolded, and that one had to live in an unfamiliar and difficult environment for such a long time, not to mention that there were many things he didn't know...
He wanted her to live a comfortable life, to be pampered, not have to think about anything, not have to worry about anything, and be happy every day. He didn't want her, who was as delicate as a flower, to suffer such unnecessary wind and rain.
She should be pretty, fair and plump, and live in a warm and comfortable environment.
It’s not like he’s incapable of supporting his lover.
Shen Yanli took the initiative and held her hand. He told her his thoughts without hiding anything. "My salary card and passbook are with you. You can buy whatever you want. If the money is not enough, I will earn more."
"Wanwan, I don't want you to be so tired. You are so afraid of the heat, but you still..."
After hearing his explanation, Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and kissed him on the cheek: "Dear, do you have to be so cute?"
As she spoke, she pinched the soft flesh on his cheek, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed with smile. However, after smiling for a while, her expression changed and became much more serious.
"I know you feel bad for me, but what job isn't hard? Although it's hard, it can increase my knowledge and broaden my horizons, so I won't give up this job."
"Besides, I feel bad when you stay up late in the study every night or come back tired after get off work, but did I ever ask you to quit this job?"
"I didn't, because I know you like doing research, so I respect your choice."
"Likewise, I hope you can respect my choice."
She expressed her thoughts to him word by word, slowly and by putting herself in his shoes.
"My job has great development prospects, and the salary is relatively high among all the jobs currently available. Of course, compared to your salary, it's nothing."
"But can't we work together, save more money, and build our little home better?"
In those days, people who were employed by the government had the best treatment, with a stable job, and excellent salaries and benefits. It was not like later times when private businesses were allowed, all walks of life flourished, and nouveau riche emerged one after another.
She is working hard on her career now. On the one hand, she really likes it. On the other hand, she also wants to save more money. When the opportunity comes after the reform and opening up and she can buy a house freely, she plans to invest in real estate.
After all, the prices of houses in Beijing will continue to rise in the future, and she doesn't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune and become a wealthy woman.
But she certainly couldn't say that in front of Shen Yanli, so she thought about it and changed her words tactfully.
"And when we want to have a child in the future, we will have to spend money on milk powder, diapers and so on. That's a huge expense. I don't want to let my child suffer financially. I want to give him the best when I give birth to him."
"So I have to work hard to make money from now on. If I have money, I will have confidence. It will be good for myself, my family, and my children. Don't you agree, dear?"
After hearing her words, Shen Yanli was stunned, his black eyes unable to hide his excitement.
To be honest, he didn't expect her to think so far ahead.
She is always a sunny, carefree little girl, so he wants to pamper her, love her, and protect her, and doesn't want her to suffer any grievances again.
He thought she was too fragile.
She is a resilient and beautiful flower.
Shen Yanli looked at her with a firm gaze, and responded in a very serious manner: “I understand what you mean. For the sake of our family, I will work harder.”
Zhou Yunwan's heart was so warm that it seemed to stop beating at this moment. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and jokingly said, "Professor Shen, you have worked hard enough. Where can you find a deputy director as young as you?"
"Don't overwork yourself, or you'll be exhausted... cough cough." Zhou Yunwan stopped talking halfway through her sentence.
She almost said out loud what she would do if the quality of her sex life declined. Bah, bah, bah. She couldn't say such things casually. After all, it was related to her sexual happiness for the rest of her life.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Shen Yanli looked at her puzzledly: “What?”
Zhou Yunwan bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushed. She met his probing gaze, turned her face away uncomfortably, and whispered softly, "Nothing, I just want you to stop working so hard, it will hurt me."
As she said that, she couldn't wait to change the subject: "Well, let's go, don't waste time."
They have been delayed here for more than ten minutes. If they stay any longer, someone might come over curiously and ask what happened, which would take a few more minutes.
The time they can spend together is short to begin with. As the saying goes, time is money. If you have to waste it, you should waste it on other things!
She looked extremely embarrassed, which made people think even more about it.
Shen Yanli's eyes darkened, and he uncontrollably misinterpreted her meaning, with some inappropriate images for children popping up in his mind.
He really missed her after not seeing her for a long time.
Think about all aspects.
