Ji Jianhua was not talking about Ji Ke. "Ji Ke said the child was Chen Jingming's, and she went to Chen's house to make a scene. Grandma couldn't stand being told off, so she rolled down the stairs. Although she is out of danger now, she doesn't look very well, and she keeps talking about you."

Ji Ling felt sad when she heard that her grandmother was suffering, but no matter how sad she was, she couldn't go back.

"Brother, after grandma is discharged from the hospital, if you have time, take them to the capital for a visit. You know I can't take leave from here," said Ji Ling.

Ji Jianhua replied, "I'll talk to grandma tomorrow."

"It's too late. Call me tomorrow at noon when you are free and talk to grandma." Ji Jianhua did not forget to remind him before hanging up the phone.

They agreed to call at noon. After hanging up, Ji Ling was still thinking about this. Grandma lived a free and easy life. It was impossible for her to get so angry because of the discussions in the compound. Ji Ke must have done something else here.

Ji Ling didn't want to ask about Ji Ke, so even though she didn't know the reason, she didn't ask any further questions.

Ji Ling packed the last few pieces of clothes, closed the box, and Zhu Weidong also came into the room.

The couple was silent for a while. After a while, Zhu Weidong broke the silence, walked over and hugged the person in his arms.

"sorry."

Ji Ling was not touched when she heard the apology, because every time there was a problem between them, Zhu Weidong would apologize first and then the matter would be over.

Painting made things peaceful, but Ji Ling felt that this was not the final answer to solving the problem.

Zhu Weidong could sense his wife's silence. He sighed, pulled her away from his arms, and looked at her.

"You have a lot of complaints about me, right?"

Ji Ling thought for a moment and nodded, "It is quite big."

Ji Ling didn't want to have a cold war between husband and wife, nor did she want to hide her thoughts.

Zhu Weidong smiled. He had a cold personality and a cold face. He seldom smiled, but he was very charming when he smiled.

Ji Ling glared at him, "You're happy even though I'm unhappy?"

"I'm glad you can speak your mind. I'm glad you don't want to go into a cold war with me. I still have a chance to admit my mistakes and reflect on them."

"It's no use talking sweetly now." Ji Ling didn't buy it. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't you just stay stupid and stop being smart and stupid? That makes me even angrier."

Zhu Weidong admitted his mistakes repeatedly, hugged her and sat on the bed, with his chin on his wife's shoulder, "I want to do well and make you happy, but I always fail. I will definitely change. From now on, you teach me to be a good husband and a good man, okay?"

"How can I teach you? You can't teach this."

"Why can't I teach you? From now on, if you are not satisfied with what I do, just run away from home. This way I will realize that I am wrong. Otherwise, you will just get angry and ignore me, and I will still be lucky and think that nothing will happen."

"So you know your problem, and if you know it, why do you do it every time?" Ji Ling was in a heavy mood. "Let's not talk about the past, just talking about the current situation. You are obviously on Xu Li's side. You are your wife, why don't you believe me?"

Ji Ling turned around and looked at him directly. "Zhu Weidong, in your heart, Xu Li is your apprentice, so she is very important, right? It's useless for you to deny it. Your actions and your performance have already proved it all."

At the end, Ji Ling's voice became noticeably louder, showing how much she cared about the matter and how angry she was.

Zhu Weidong wanted to apologize again, but Ji Ling interrupted him and said, "Don't say sorry to me. Is it any use? This is a problem with your attitude."

"Okay, I won't tell you." Zhu Weidong replied obediently.

Zhu Weidong is not stupid, nor is he incapable of caring for his wife. He did a good job at the beginning, but later they were separated for a long time, and they seemed to be just an ordinary couple. There was no passion anymore, and no love between them.

At this moment, Ji Ling suddenly realized that she and the man next to her were very strange, like strangers.

There was zero communication between the two.

Zhu Weidong noticed that his wife suddenly stopped talking. He lowered his head and saw his wife's confused expression.

"Xu Li's matter is over. I won't mention her again. No matter what happens, I will stand by you." Zhu Weidong thought his wife would be happy to hear his apology, but all he got in return was an indifferent look.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Ling curled her lips, "Zhu Weidong, do you love me?"

"Silly girl, what do you think?" Zhu Weidong looked at his wife with a smile, "You are my wife, who else can I love if I don't love you?"

"No, putting aside the identity of my wife? Just from the perspective of love between a man and a woman, do you love me?"

Zhu Weidong didn't expect her to say that. This was something he had never thought about before, and he began to think about it seriously.

Looking at her husband lost in thought, Ji Ling should be glad that he is an honest man who can face this problem seriously instead of answering it without thinking.

After a long time without his answer, she knew the answer in her heart.

She wasn't sad, nor did she feel resentful.

When she first started to be with Zhu Weidong, it was not because of love, but because she was pushed forward step by step. After they were together, she had never felt love and family in her two lives, but with Zhu Weidong's care, she became addicted to that feeling, and then fell in love with the man in front of her.

But humans are greedy animals. They will never be satisfied and their appetite will only grow bigger and bigger.

At first, she was satisfied with Zhu Weidong's responsibility and loyalty to his wife and family as a husband. As they got along, she began to look forward to his affectionate response.

His previous cold temperament and the way they got along with each other could no longer satisfy her desires.

"Xiaoling." Zhu Weidong spoke in silence, "I don't know what love is? But I know that I will miss you, and your mood swings will affect my mood. I will even get jealous when I see you with other men. I think this is love, right?"

"In addition to explaining this with love, you can also explain it with possession, because I am your wife. Men are domineering in their bones. I don't want others to touch things that belong to me." Ji Ling explained to him calmly.

Zhu Weidong asked seriously, "Xiaoling, do you think I don't love you?"

Ji Ling nodded, "That's what I feel. All you have for me is responsibility, the responsibility a husband has to bear."

"What about you? Do you love me?" Zhu Weidong's voice was very soft.

Ji Ling replied without hesitation, "Love."

That's why she is making herself so miserable now, because his attitude makes her sad.

It is said that in a relationship, whoever admits that he loves the other person first loses.
