"Luo Xiao, shall I tell you a story?"
"Um?"
"Just listen. This is our first time having a heart-to-heart talk, perhaps..."
"And this is the last time."
Yin Shuyi's voice was less rigid and more emotional.
Everyday stories happen in every corner of the world.
This story is no exception.
The young woman was captivated by the man when she saw his profile in a scientific journal.
The man's published paper perfectly aligned with her own thoughts, and his arrogant tone and profound knowledge completely won her over.
She thought to herself, "If only I could get to know him."
Some dreams become reality without you even realizing it.
She met the man at a blind date arranged by her family.
The moment I saw it, my rapidly beating heart confirmed my suspicions.
like.
I really like it.
The blind date went more smoothly than she had imagined, but the man's indifference left her somewhat at a loss.
Fortunately, the marriage was quickly arranged, and both families were very satisfied, including her.
The woman naively thought that with her outstanding appearance and similar values, even a man who was an ice block would melt.
After getting married, she realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined.
Aside from their routine married life, the two had little contact or conversation.
Days passed by like this, and when the woman saw two bright red lines on the pregnancy test, she rolled around on the bed with joy.
The couple finally had a child, and the man's attitude will definitely change after he finds out.
And so, she took a day to go to the market to buy vegetables, wash them, and cook them, putting love into every single leaf of the vegetable.
After a busy day, she called the man.
A cold, impersonal job offer rejected all her good intentions.
Okay, then she'll wait.
There will always be a time when I finish work and come back.
From dusk to late at night.
From late at night until dawn.
The woman sat motionless on the sofa, clutching that hope tightly in her hand.
Click!
The door was finally opened, and a man walked in from outside, looking tired. He paused for a moment when he saw the woman.
Then, without saying a word, he went upstairs.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go heat up the food right now," the woman said with a smile.
That table of food was far more valuable than it should be.
"No."
The man walked upstairs without looking back.
"I'm pregnant," the woman said, her voice much louder.
The man paused in his steps.
She finally saw a glimmer of hope.
"oh."
The brief reply plunged her into despair once again.
"I'm pregnant," she repeated, her voice trembling with tears.
"I know." The man's tone was somewhat impatient.
Don't you like our child?
The man turned around, his expression unchanged.
"I don't really like or dislike it, it's just very troublesome. I'm going to sleep now, I have to go to the lab later."
This was the longest conversation they had since they got married.
Tears fell to the floor, and a thought-provoking voice resonated in the woman's heart.
She turned around and sat down in front of the table of food, picked up her chopsticks and ate quietly.
At that moment, she understood that it was all in vain, nothing more than wishful thinking on her part.
Since you enjoy your work, fine, I'll show you what you're hoping for.
After ten months of pregnancy, my daughter was born.
The fatherly and motherly love that should have been there has completely disappeared.
Before her maternity leave was over, the woman rushed off to the research lab.
From then on, she became a workaholic.
At first, she would go back to see her daughter, but after seeing her, the image of that man would appear in her mind, shattering the psychological defenses she had just built into pieces.
But she would still endure the psychological discomfort to stay by her daughter's side.
But by chance, all of this changed.
According to a normal person's thinking, there are only two possibilities for a man who is still so indifferent to his wife after marriage.
The first possibility is that he has a woman he likes outside the marriage.
The second possibility is that he doesn't like women at all.
Regardless of the reason, she wanted to know the cause. Even if she was sentenced to death, she wanted to die in peace.
After investigating for a while, she stared in disbelief at the facts laid out before her.
Men don't belong to any of these categories at all.
Instead...
In order to rebel against his family, he put all his emotions into his work.
This reason sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
After a long time, the woman finally came to her senses.
If a man's family holds immense power, he must achieve something significant enough to stand up to his family in order to escape their control.
This method is absurd, but it is the only way out.
The woman had hoped that she would give up on the man after investigating, but things turned out to be unexpectedly dramatic.
When she saw her daughter again, the complex emotions almost drove her crazy.
And so, she stopped caring about her daughter.
It's not that I don't love you.
Rather, they dare not.
Women are afraid of being labeled as shrews by others.
To become someone you hate.
This kind of life lasted for more than 20 years.
When she saw the meal laid out on the table in the living room, she almost broke down in tears.
