After their marriage, Gu Shaokai wanted to stick to Zhong Xinyi's side every day. During the day, Zhong Xinyi worked at the art troupe, and he would be waiting at the entrance of the troupe before she even got off work. He did this every day without fail. Everyone in the art troupe knew that Zhong Xinyi had married a good man, and they couldn't help but envy her. No one dared to look down on her.
Under the man's tender care, Zhong Xinyi's unease gradually dissipated, and she slowly forgot the suffering that the Zhong family had brought her.
Even now, when she encounters Zhong Liang on the street, she is much more at peace. She doesn't hate Zhong Liang, but she won't acknowledge him as her father either.
The couple enjoyed a year of blissful happiness, but gradually, their families began urging them to get married.
That night, Zhong Xinyi sat on the headboard in a daze, not even reacting when Gu Shaokai came in.
"Wife, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Shaokai lifted the blanket and went inside, pulling her into his arms and resting his chin on her head.
Zhong Xinyi looked up and met the man's deep eyes. "Do you like children?"
Gu Shaokai was stunned for a moment, his heart couldn't help but leap with joy, but he still didn't show it.
He moved her a little distance away and stared intently at her expression. "Why do you ask that? Did Mom say something to you?"
His parents had tried to reason with him over the past year, but he knew his wife didn't want to have children yet, so he brushed them off.
Since her father wouldn't say anything inappropriate in front of Xinyi, that left only her mother.
They usually live in apartments and only occasionally return to the compound. It's hard to guarantee that some people won't gossip.
Zhong Xinyi gently shook her head, "It's my maternal grandmother. She wants us to have a baby."
Gu Shaokai asked nervously, "Wife, do you want to have the baby?"
“I…” Zhong Xinyi hesitated for a moment. Before, she was afraid that the two of them would not last long, so she did not want to have a child as a bond. Now, her heart is entirely with Gu Shaokai, so she is naturally willing to have a child for him. However, she has heard that childbirth is very painful, and she is afraid.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Shaokai's eyes. His little wife was unwilling to have children for him. Thinking of this, he felt as if a small hole had been torn in his heart.
But he couldn't get angry at her, so he had to swallow his anger, and his tone of voice lost its previous enthusiasm.
"You can have another child whenever you want."
Zhong Xinyi was stunned. When had she ever said she wouldn't have any more children? She wondered if she was just being sensitive, but she felt that Gu Shaokai was angry.
Holding two fingers tightly, I cautiously asked her, "Are you angry?"
Gu Shaokai said indifferently, "No, we have to get up early tomorrow, go to sleep." After saying that, he turned off the light, pulled the person into his arms, and closed his eyes.
In the darkness, Zhong Xinyi lingered without closing her eyes, wondering if she was being too dramatic.
Over the next two days, even if Zhong Xinyi was slow to realize, she understood that Gu Shaokai was truly angry.
But he was always busy with work, so I never saw him.
Today is my day off, and Zhong Xinyi went to the compound to visit her parents-in-law.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had endless topics to talk about as soon as they met. When the time was right, You Shiya asked, "Xinyi, did you and Shaokai have a fight?"
These two are usually inseparable, but today is very unusual.
Zhong Xinyi lowered her eyes. "Mom, Shaokai seems angry with me."
What's going on?
Yu Shiya was surprised. Her son doted on Xinyi like a treasure, so how could he possibly be angry with her?
Zhong Xinyi recounted the entire conversation to her mother-in-law. Seeing that her mother-in-law remained silent, fearing that she might misunderstand, she quickly began to explain.
"Mom, I didn't say I didn't want to have children. I was just afraid of the pain, so I hesitated for a moment."
Upon hearing this, You Shiya breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is."
She took Zhong Xinyi's hand and said gently, "Xinyi, let me say a few words to you. Do you know why your parents don't urge you to have children? It's because Shaokai has blocked us all."
Zhong Xinyi's heart tightened. "Mom, I didn't know about this."
“He has really made a lot of efforts for your happiness. This child is prone to getting stuck in a dead end. Mom hopes you can talk to him.”
Zhong Xinyi nodded solemnly, "Mom, I understand, thank you for telling me all this."
"No need to be so polite, we're all family."
After leaving the compound, Zhong Xinyi went straight to the coffee shop. As soon as Hei Zi saw her coming, he immediately went to greet her.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to see Brother Kai?"
"Hmm." Zhong Xinyi looked towards the second floor. "Is he up there?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Hei Zi said a few words in a row, wiped away his cold sweat, and continued, "Sister-in-law, Brother Kai doesn't seem to be in a good mood. Can you try to comfort him?"
Zhong Xinyi nodded, "Thank you, Hei Zi."
She arrived at the innermost room on the second floor, which was the man's office. She knocked gently on the door and, after receiving a response from inside, pushed the door open and entered.
Gu Shaokai looked down at the documents on the table. At first, he thought it was Hei Zi, but when he heard familiar footsteps, he paused and subconsciously looked up.
She immediately stood up, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Why are you here?"
Zhong Xinyi rushed forward and threw herself into his arms, moving against his chest. "Honey, I know what you've been doing for me behind my back. I've been feeling really bad these past two days because you haven't been talking to me."
Gu Shaokai looked into her bright eyes and asked, "Are you really upset?"
To this day, he still feels that his wife doesn't love him.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xinyi panicked.
She took his hand and placed it on her heart, saying, "Honey, this heart beats for you."
"My heart and my body belong to you, my husband, I love you so much."
Gu Shaokai was deeply shocked. She said she loved him!
