Chapter 43 I never force things in my relationship
Cheng Yan immediately asked with gentle concern: "Huai Jing, is grandma's condition okay? Although Chinese medicine is good, it can't be used indiscriminately. You have to find a reliable doctor."
Chu Huaijing nodded: "She is old and can't take many medicines. Chinese medicine is mild and effective for her."
Cheng Yan said softly, "Alas, everyone's old age will be full of chaos and disorder. We should not leave any regrets while we are still young."
When Cheng Yan said this, her eyes looked intentionally or unintentionally at the man who was pretending to be asleep next to her.
Li Zhinan seemed to be asleep, but in fact, he heard these words.
Chu Huaijing seemed touched and nodded with a smile: "Yes, when you are young, you should follow your heart and not look back."
"Love, too." Cheng Yan smiled sweetly, "Being able to spend your whole life with the one you love is the happiest thing."
Chu Huaijing was stunned. For some reason, the scene of following Cheng Qian at the market this afternoon flashed through his mind.
Not sure if he felt guilty, Chu Huaijing looked at Li Zhinan.
Just at this moment, Li Zhinan opened his eyes and looked at him inexplicably. The two men's eyes met and they instantly looked away.
Cheng Yan did not continue to talk about the topic of love. She knew that men did not like to waste too much time on relationships. They did not like to be bound by feelings. The best way to get along with others was not to put pressure on men.
Back at the villa, Li Zhinan looked at the empty living room and the guest room on the second floor. Cheng Qian had tidied the room and even folded the quilt.
She left.
He left resolutely.
Li Zhinan fell onto the big bed, covering his forehead with his arms. He didn't want to keep a woman who had changed her mind.
When Cheng Qian returned to City A, she went directly to the old house to pick up her child.
The little guy was having fun in the living room when he suddenly saw Cheng Qian coming in from the front door.
He held the toy in his two little hands, his black eyes froze for a moment, and the next second, he stood there, not running towards Cheng Qian, but his mouth was flat, and tears suddenly burst out.
Jiang Meng and the old lady were sitting nearby, and when they saw Xiao Ye suddenly cry, they both laughed.
"Children are like this. When they see their mother, they cry three times, no matter what." said the old lady.
Cheng Qian was also at a loss for words. She didn't expect her son to cry when he saw her.
She quickly went forward and gently picked him up, and the little guy's two little hands also hugged her tightly.
"Are you back so early?" Jiang Meng asked.
Cheng Qian nodded: "Yes, Mom, thank you for taking care of Xiaoye these two days."
"What are you talking about? If Xiaowei's condition wasn't unstable, I would be responsible for taking care of Xiaoye every day." Jiang Meng also felt guilty for not being able to share the responsibility of taking care of the child with his daughter-in-law.
The old lady said calmly: "Cheng Qian can take care of Xiao Ye at home full-time. She doesn't need to go out to work."
Cheng Qian knew that the old lady's ideas were conservative and traditional. She believed that women should stay at home and should not run out and compete with men for jobs.
The times are progressing and people's thoughts are progressing, but the old lady's thinking is still stagnant.
Cheng Qian didn't refute or argue, she just said, "Mom, I'll take Xiaoye back first."
"Where's Zhinan? Why didn't he come back with you?" Jiang Meng frowned.
In order not to make her mother-in-law worry, Cheng Qian said, "He has something to do and didn't come."
Jiang Meng wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she followed the mother and son into the courtyard under the pretext of sending them to the car.
"Xiao Qian, has your relationship with Zhinan... improved at all?" Jiang Meng asked with concern gently.
Cheng Qian's pretty face tightened. What she feared most was the sudden concern.
"Mom, he and I are an old couple. Our relationship can't be improved in a day or two." Cheng Qian said with a smile.
"Zhi Nan has had a cold personality since he was young. Don't think too much about it. He is not mean to you. In fact, he is also cold and indifferent to other women. He has been a reserved person since he was young." Jiang Meng persuaded gently.
Cheng Qian was stunned and thought that Jiang Meng might not know her son well enough.
When a man meets a woman he likes, even the dullest one will understand romance and passion.
"Mom, let's talk about these things later. I'll take Xiaoye back first." Cheng Qian said softly.
Jiang Meng was stunned. It seemed that Cheng Qian didn't listen to her words.
"Okay, be careful on the road. The child belongs to both you and Zhinan. Don't take on too much responsibility. When it's time for him to take care of the child, just give it to him. He is the father and he has to do his duty." Jiang Meng advised again.
Cheng Qian felt that such a mother-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern. She was tolerant, gentle, understanding, impartial, and never covered up for others. Every conversation with her made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
Cheng Qian wondered if she could give up her husband and choose her mother-in-law?
Watching Cheng Qian's car drive away, a look of worry appeared on Jiang Meng's face.
No, it’s useless to just persuade my daughter-in-law, I have to give my son some drastic measures.
The next day at noon, Jiang Meng brought some snacks made by her aunt at home and knocked on the door of President Li's office.
"Come in..." The man's voice was majestic and indifferent.
Jiang Meng directly pushed open the double doors.
"Mom..." The man stood up from the big leather chair.
Jiang Meng's face looked unhappy. He put the basket in his hand on the coffee table and said, "Your grandma asked me to bring it here."
Li Zhinan had understood his mother's expression since he was a child. At this moment, he felt that something must have happened that made his mother very unhappy.
Could it be that Cheng Qian didn’t dine at the wedding banquet, and her mother found out?
"Mom, you still have to take care of Xiaowei, so why do you still find time to bring me delicious food?" Li Zhinan sat next to his mother, as obedient as a big puppy.
Since his father passed away, Li Zhinan, as the eldest son of the Li family, has been studying while following his grandfather to take over the management of the company. At the age of 20, he was strictly disciplined by the old man and had almost no private time. The double pressure of study and work made the young Li Zhinan like a tireless machine. Fortunately, Li Zhinan lived up to everyone's expectations and kept the kingdom handed down to him by his grandfather.
"Are you planning to divorce Xiao Qian?" Jiang Meng is a woman, sensitive and suspicious.
Such things could not be hidden from her eyes.
"What did Cheng Qian tell you?" Li Zhinan's face was grim, and he instantly suspected that Cheng Qian was doing something behind his back.
Jiang Meng sighed: "Xiao Qian didn't say anything, I can see it."
"Mom, what if it's true? Will you be angry?" Since he couldn't hide it anymore, Li Zhinan spoke frankly.
Jiang Meng smiled bitterly: "Matters of the heart can't be forced. Is it useful for me to be angry?"
"Mom, this is a matter between me and Cheng Qian, so don't worry. It's going to rain, and I'm going to get married. Even if we get divorced, Xiaoye will stay in the Li family." Li Zhinan thought that his mother was worried that Xiaoye would be awarded to Cheng Qian.
Jiang Meng's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stared at his son and said, "Zhi Nan, you are going to kill Xiao Qian."
Li Zhinan's face was as gloomy as ice, and he said coldly: "Mom, if there is no love, marriage is just an empty shell. I can't give up Xiaoye's belonging."
Jiang Meng felt his temples throbbing wildly and the pain was unbearable.
"Can we not divorce?" Jiang Meng stopped him: "Go back and coax Cheng Qian well, don't let it get to the point of divorce."
Li Zhinan's handsome face froze for a long time. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Mom, this doesn't seem to be something I can decide unilaterally. You know my personality. I never force things when it comes to feelings."
