It's clear that Liu Qing is trying her best to be a good mother, but a person's energy is also limited.
No one will keep giving if they can't get a "high" from their parent-child relationship.
This applies to any relationship; you have to make the other person feel good.
Liu Qing was exhausted, but she wanted to know—
What is the benefit for Zhao Chengguang?
Listening to this long-winded psychological analysis, someone who didn't know better might think Guo Zhimeng was his biological daughter.
Staring intently at the fair-skinned, refined man before her, scrutinizing every detail of his face, Liu Qing suddenly asked, "Why are you pursuing me?"
In the adult world, there are no "opportunities" without a reason. Given Zhao Chengguang's conditions, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a girl who matches him in every way. Why would he be interested in a divorced woman like himself?
Having remarried and with a child, Liu Qing no longer expects love, but fortunately she still has her career.
Could it be that Zhao Chengguang is after her career?
"That's true," Zhao Chengguang smiled politely, without saying a word.
Liu Qing felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by two hands, but she still maintained a calm smile on her face. "That's right, what value could I possibly have?"
It's nothing more than mutual exploitation, acting as matchmakers, putting on a show for each other, and maintaining appearances.
But I can let it go on myself, but what about Mengmeng?
Was Zhao Chengguang's kindness towards Guo Zhimeng also an act?
Unable to be sure whether he looked like him or not, Liu Qing asked him, "Do you want to marry me?"
As if it were business, with a calm and solemn voice, Liu Qing told Zhao Chengguang, "I'm not someone you can just play around with. I don't accept being chosen. If you want to pursue me, you have to do it with marriage in mind."
Go for a long-term, serious, and cultivated relationship.
Liu Qing gave Zhao Chengguang three days to consider. "After you've thought it over, if you feel it's okay, we'll go register. If not, then don't come to the hospital anymore. I'll handle Mengmeng's situation—"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chengguang nodded.
Just like when discussing business, there was no hesitation whatsoever.
In response, Zhao Chengguang gave his answer: "I'm not joking. I've considered everything that needs to be considered."
Except for one thing, Zhao Chengguang said "very unwisely," "I want a child of my own."
Doesn't that sound realistic?
But unexpectedly, Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that Zhao Chengguang brought this up before the wedding shows that he had really thought it through seriously.
It's always better to talk about what you care about most before marriage than to tear each other apart after marriage.
One thing at a time, Zhao Chengguang’s demands are very clear.
"It can be later, two or three years later is fine, but I must have my own child."
It's perfectly understandable for a man to want to have his own offspring.
Zhao Chengguang immediately posed the most difficult question, and like in business, he tackled it swiftly and decisively, addressing each problem one by one.
Not only did she raise the issue that concerned her, but she also raised the issue that concerned Liu Qing: "If I told you now that I would treat everyone the same after we have Xiao Bao, you probably wouldn't believe me, but—"
At this point, the man paused, looked at her, and said, "I think our relationship shouldn't just be about transactions; there should be something else involved."
Something else?
What is it?
Liu Qing looked up, made brief contact with him, and quickly looked away, her heart pounding.
Unexpectedly, she fell in love with the type of boy she used to "hate" the most.
He talked a lot, but when the woman was overthinking, these plans for the future gave her a great sense of security.
There is no such thing as passive-aggressive behavior. Zhao Chengguang is like the sun, warmly enveloping you on a chilly winter morning and dispelling the fog ahead.
For the first time, Liu Qing had expectations for the future.
She didn't voice her thoughts; Liu Qing was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person, and she couldn't lose her queenly demeanor, so she deliberately replied, "What is it? Scheming?"
Hey, she really is the kind of person who can kill a conversation.
Fortunately, she ran into Zhao Chengguang, who responded quickly, "What? Don't you like me?"
Hey, you can tell that?
Liu Qing firmly denied it.
Despite her haughty demeanor and the coldness in their relationship, Zhao Chengguang caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "Since you've brought up scheming, let's make things clear once and for all."
"Now that things are clear, we won't talk about scheming anymore—"
"Shall we live a good life together?"
No one knows better than Zhao Chengguang what he wants; he has everything a life should have.
In terms of skill level, the two are at the same rank.
Perhaps, "Do you know what a vision is?"
This is similar to two people starting a business together. One person wants to open a small shop, while the other wants to build a large global chain supermarket like Walmart.
Both of them started by finding a storefront and setting up a few shelves, but it's clear that their futures will be different.
With differing visions, the two are bound to go their separate ways in the future.
But on the point of view, Zhao Chengguang and Liu Qing are of the same mind—
They don't want to be rich and powerful, or work too hard. Their dream life is to go home after get off work, wear slippers, and go shopping together.
This was the life Zhao Chengguang liked, and after accidentally discovering that Liu Qing was similar, he began to have designs on it.
"Putting everything else aside, we share the same vision, are at a similar level of wealth and social class, and each has our own strengths in different fields. Doesn't that sound pretty good?"
If we were to add "mutual admiration and appreciation" to this, it would be even more perfect.
This is the adult's view on love: good medicine tastes bitter, and kind words are hard to hear. Before he said it, Zhao Chengguang had already thought about what kind of expression Liu Qing would have.
