Li Jizhen had already planned it out. As long as she didn't fall for anyone else, he would slowly devise a plan, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
Since she and he were mortal enemies before, there had to be a plan to make her believe that he liked her and to make her like him in return.
Also, he worried that if he suddenly told someone he liked them and wanted to pursue them, her first reaction would definitely be suspicion.
And that was indeed the case. When he appeared near her house, her first thought was that he was there to scout out the place or to play games and make bets. She never imagined that he genuinely just wanted to come and see her.
I remember when I first found out Ahri was pregnant, Li Jizhen asked a question in a bit of a panic, "If I'm still the same as before and don't think about pursuing you, are you going to have this child?"
Ah Li looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "Of course I'll have the baby."
"If we have a child, will you let him acknowledge me?"
"Please, you're a playboy, and you're worried about not having kids? Besides, this child is someone I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty. You just provided a seed, what else did you do?" Ahri rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky when she said this.
Lee Jae-jin felt a pang of sadness. "So, you really didn't intend to tell me you were pregnant."
Ah Li shrugged. "Yeah, I've already made up my mind. If you're still the same after I have the baby, we'll go our separate ways. We can get a divorce or not. As long as my child can inherit your estate after you die, that's fine."
Listen to this; these are the thoughts of love and not love.
But what can you do? The one who falls in love first is always the one who gives in first.
Lee Jae-jin said he would keep a close eye on her to prevent her from instilling bad ideas in the child, such as that the father is someone who can be abandoned at any time.
He was also very happy that she was willing to have his child and had no intention of finding a new father for the child.
Sometimes when Ah Li is in a good mood, she will cook a meal and bring a glass of milk to Li Jizhen, who is working hard and working overtime in the study.
Li Jizhen would always look at Ah Li with affection and say, "Thank you, wife."
Ahri waved her hand nonchalantly, "You're welcome. After all, you're earning money to support your family now."
Li Jizhen felt a faint sadness. The best thing about him was that he could earn money to support the family and hadn't squandered the money like before.
Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Li Jizhen negotiated a project with someone, and the contract was to be officially signed tonight. Because it was something worth celebrating, he had a little wine, and after returning home, he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Nian and Li Xiang, their son and daughter, brought him water and slippers, and also called Ali over.
"Mom, come quick! Stinky's dad is drunk and asleep on the sofa."
Li Jizhen wanted to open his eyes and say that he wasn't drunk, but he heard Ah Li say in a soft voice, "Daddy is too tired, let's not disturb Daddy, okay?"
"Mom, Grandma said you don't like Dad, and that Dad is pitiful because no one cares about him. But you're feeling sorry for Dad right now."
She felt sorry for him?
Li Jizhen really wanted to open his eyes and see Ah Li, to see how much she cared for him. But he held back. He wanted to continue listening to Ah Li's voice as she soothed the child; it was so gentle, much gentler than it was for him.
"Shhh."
Ali quietly coaxed the two children into the house, saying, "Next time Grandma says that, just tell her directly that Mommy loves Daddy very much, she loves him so much."
"Do you like it more than you like it?"
"Well, there's no comparison. Dad is Dad, and you are you."
Ah Li took the two children back to their room. She looked towards Li Jizhen, thinking it was time to let this man know that she had long harbored feelings for him.
Of course, you need to soothe the children first and get them to sleep peacefully.
After the two children fell asleep, Ah Li walked up to Li Jizhen and found that he was still in the same position as before, without moving at all. She bent down slightly and kissed his lips. Every time she didn't take the initiative, he would behave properly.
Even if he thought about it, he didn't say that just because they were husband and wife, he had to do "that" with her.
Several times it was she who took the initiative, and only then did he become like a wolf that could finally eat meat, very fierce.
Lee Jae-jin slowly opened his eyes, which were glistening with tears. He said, "I drank alcohol and haven't brushed my teeth yet."
Instead of being embarrassed by being caught, Ah Li stepped back slightly and said calmly, "If you're not drunk, go wash up and rest early."
Li Jizhen responded, "Mm."
Ali then said, "I'm going to sleep now. There's still a bowl of soup in the pot, remember to drink it."
"good."
Li Jizhen only went into the kitchen after Ah Li entered the house.
After he finished eating and washing up, he went to check on the two children in their room. Both children were asleep in their own beds.
He slowly closed the door and looked into his and Ah Li's room.
She's in their room tonight; she misses him.
Li Jizhen dimmed the lights in the living room before entering the room, closing the door halfway.
Sometimes, the child will wake up at night, and we have to get up to check on them.
Even after having a child, he and she still maintained a frequency of three or four times a week.
That night, Li Jizhen was very gentle. He even asked Ah Li, "Can you tell me one more time that you like me?"
His tone was very humble, as if he wasn't sure if she really liked him, and he stopped moving.
Ah Li cupped his face and said very seriously, "Li Jizhen, Ouyang Li likes you very much, she has fallen in love with you."
Lee Jae-jin smiled and said, "Yes, I understand. I love her very much too."
If you love her, you must respect her.
Ah Li once again sensed that Li Jizhen was hiding his strength; his subsequent affection was too intense, leaving her no chance to breathe normally.
The room door wasn't closed, and Ali was worried that the two children might see something inappropriate for them.
Li Jizhen picked up Ah Li like a child, carried her to close the door, and even pressed her against the door, saying, "Be good, let's keep it down."
Ah Li whimpered and bit his shoulder, trying her best to keep her off-key voice from getting out. She was still wondering if his humble desire to confirm whether he was loved was just an act.
Lee Jae-jin said that he was just too insecure and needed Ahri to reassure him again and again and tell him that she liked and loved him.
He's just that shallow; he just likes having his crush tell him he likes them without reservation.
Both Li Nian and Li Xiang's names are in their hearts. Originally, they wanted to add "Li" or "Zhen" to their names, but then they decided against it.
It's really good like this; she likes him, and he likes her too.
One day, Ali turned on her computer and saw the original owner again. The original owner said she was very happy. She realized that having more passion in her life could make her feel that every day was fulfilling.
The original owner had already been reincarnated. This was her lingering obsession, her last breath. She really wanted to see if there would be any difference between living someone else's life and living her own.
The answer is: They are different.
