After taking a shower, Yoon Seo-yi came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.
Turning her head, she saw Luo Xiao standing by the window, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
"Come sit down, let's talk."
His tone was icy, but fortunately, Luo Xiao was already used to it.
The two worked at the same research institute, but they were in charge of different departments.
We rarely see each other, and even when we bump into each other at meals, we each eat separately.
The colleagues all guessed that the two might be having relationship problems, otherwise why would they be acting this way?
From one person's infidelity to two people's marriage of convenience, all sorts of rumors and versions are flying around.
Neither of them came forward to clarify anything from beginning to end, and they continued to do as they pleased.
Much later, there was still no news of their divorce.
They then understood.
Superficial people can never guess the thoughts of those who are not on the same spiritual level as them.
In the lives of these two, nothing mattered but cold data and experimental equipment; everything else was irrelevant.
Luo Xiao slowly walked to the table and sat down.
His wife, who had just come out of the bath, did not evoke any emotional response in him.
The intimate moments they should have shared will never happen in their lives.
If it weren't for the need to continue the family line, perhaps Luo Qingyan would never have come into this world.
"What exactly is going on with time?"
Luo Xiao was slightly taken aback, looking at his wife with a surprised expression.
He thought Yoon Seo-yi would talk to him about work, but the conversation escalated to the family level instead.
"What time?"
"Six months."
Luo Xiao's expression was somewhat unnatural. He stood up and said, "Nonsense."
"Come back." Yin Shuyi's voice was slightly louder: "What exactly did Father tell you?"
Luo Xiao turned his head and sneered, "Yin Shuyi, this is not like you."
What style?
"You should focus on your work. When did you start questioning me about these trivial matters?"
Yin Shuyi was speechless for a moment.
"No matter what, even if it's just for the sake of experimental funding, don't I have the right to know the whole story?"
Upon hearing the words "experimental funding," Luo Xiao sat back down.
He sighed, never expecting that one day he would be troubled by such mundane things.
It was a perfectly good experiment, but I don't know why the funding chain broke down.
Fortunately, his father called him at this time, promising to take care of Luo Qingyan's marriage and to solve the funding problem for the experiment.
After he told Yin Shuyi about this, the two hit it off immediately and came to Jinshan City.
"Luo Qingyan has indeed grown up. She sees things more clearly than we do. There really isn't half a year."
Yin Shuyi's fingers trembled slightly, and she unconsciously gripped the corner of her bathrobe.
"How long was that?"
"Three months."
"Then why did you tell your daughter it would be six months?"
"That's what my father told me. I don't know why, I can't figure it out, and I'm too lazy to think about it."
His mind couldn't hold so many worldly matters; as long as he could continue experimenting, nothing else mattered.
Silence returned to the room, both of them lowering their heads and remaining silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
After a long while.
Yin Shuyi slowly raised her head: "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
"Huh? What do you mean, what are you thinking? Are you talking about the lab's funding?"
"Ah! I was talking about my daughter's marriage."
Words fail to express their meaning, a perfect illustration of their relationship.
Luo Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hey Yin Shuyi, what's wrong with you today? Are you role-playing? Have you had enough of being a workaholic in the first half of your life and now you're going to play the role of a loving mother and filial daughter?"
"Say what you will, you just heard Qingyan's opinion, could it be...?"
"Enough, Yin Shuyi, stop being so rude. Seriously, I can't stand it anymore."
"If you can't stand it, then just bear with it."
After being mocked by him repeatedly, Yin Shuyi lost her temper.
"Luo Xiao, who do you think you are? You spout nonsense about morality and righteousness, do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?"
"And your Luo family is the same. What kind of trash are you all? Except for those two nephews, every single one of you is garbage."
"I'll just ask you one question: what was I like before I got married?"
The expensive villas allowed these self-proclaimed high-society individuals to retain a final shred of dignity.
Soundproofing isn't just about avoiding embarrassment during sex; it's also about being able to argue without restraint.
Faced with the sudden roar, Luo Xiao was stunned for a long time.
"Tell me, tell me what kind of person I, Yin Shuyi, really am."
"What was the point of all my work in the first half of my life? The biggest regret of my life is marrying a scumbag like you."
"No, the thing I regret most isn't that, it's giving birth to Luo Qingyan."
"While she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she also witnessed the utter depravity of your Luo family."
Yin Shuyi kept slamming her phone on the table.
The shattered screen slicing through the air and splashing onto the ground.
The precious data stored inside became worthless at this moment.
The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for decades finally erupted at this moment.
After the outburst, there was only endless silence again.
Luo Xiao stood there without saying a word, a drop of bright red blood falling onto the expensive floor, looking particularly glaring.
A tissue was handed to Yin Shuyi: "Wipe it off, I'll go find a first-aid kit."
