Before she knew it, it was time to leave work. Chi Xia returned home exhausted and saw Han Junche sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a resentful expression.
"Why are you back so early today?"
Chi Xia was somewhat surprised. Han Junche usually worked overtime, from 9 am to 9 pm, without a break all year round. If he were to be named a model worker, he would definitely be deserving.
He just returned from his inspection today. Logically, he should have a lot of things to deal with, so why did he come back so early?
"I've been waiting for you." Han Junche stood up and reached out to hug her to comfort himself after being neglected all day, but Chi Xia turned away.
"Stop joking, I'm exhausted after running around all day."
Chi Xia yawned and stood next to the shoe cabinet changing her shoes: "You should know that Chunli is pregnant, right? I happened to go to see a pregnant woman today and the hospital told me that there was a second pregnant woman. When I looked, I found out it was Chunli. Others can't have children, but she seems a bit disgusted."
Chi Xia changed her shoes and walked past Han Junche to pour water: "I only found out today how lovey-dovey she and Liu Daniu are. I spent half an hour with her and was fed dog food for almost twenty minutes."
Han Junche felt his empty hands, watched Chi Xia drinking water from a cup, and whispered, "We can also show them some affection."
Chi Xia glanced at him and said with a smile, "You need to have some free time. There are 24 hours in a day, and you only spend a maximum of 12 hours at home. Eight hours are for sleeping, and one to two hours are for breakfast, dinner, washing up, etc. All in all, we can only spend a maximum of two hours together. In those two hours, you also need to watch the news and stuff. Where are we supposed to show off our love?"
"We can't exactly invite them to our house to cause trouble."
Han Junche frowned deeply upon hearing this. Chi Xia was right. In the only two hours he had left, he would frequently receive phone calls, sometimes lasting for more than half an hour.
So, their relationship faded because they didn't spend enough time together?
Just like Han Zheng and his mother, they were originally deeply in love, but after a few years of marriage, they ended up having to divorce.
Back then, Han Zheng, his mother, and their child served as a bond that kept them in touch for many years after their divorce. But between him and Chi Xia, there wasn't even a child to serve as a bond...
For the first time, Han Junche felt a deep sense of crisis.
He stepped forward and reached out to pull her into his arms, but Chi Xia pushed him away again: "Stop fooling around, I'm drinking water!"
Han Junche glanced at the hand she had pushed away and remained silent.
She must really resent him, right? She must really be tired of him, right? With her abilities, she could live a good life without him. Now, she's not only staying because of him, but she's also busy every day.
Han Junche looked up at Chi Xia and asked, "Shall we go into seclusion?"
Chi Xia was drinking water when she heard this and choked on it, coughing several times before she recovered.
She put down her cup, looked at Han Junche, and said in shock, "If you had said this two years ago, I might have thought it was possible, but you're saying it now..."
She licked her lips: "Putting aside whether this is realistic or not, just think about it: if you quit now, who will take over your job?"
"Qin Zhao," Han Junche replied matter-of-factly, "He has the ability. Mr. Mei and Mr. Ning are also very young. They can teach him during the transition period, just like they taught me back then."
