According to Zheng Lei's own plan, she decided to use this meal to see how the relationship between the two was going, and then prescribe the right medicine.
If the relationship was good, why didn't Ji Huai mention his wife once
Some marriages look good on the outside, but are rotten behind the scenes.
She pretended to be innocent and followed them to the garage obediently, like a little sister and a qualified little tail.
It didn't matter what Shen Rou was thinking in her heart, but she had a calm expression on her face, got in the car, smiled like a qualified big sister, and said in a friendly tone, "Xiao Lei, what do you want to eat?"
Zheng Lei was flattered and said quickly, "I can eat anything. I don't choose. I will eat whatever you want."
"What do you want to eat?" Shen Rou turned to Ji Huai again.
In fact, when she asked him, she was heartbroken. He didn't talk much when he was in a bad mood, or he would say "whatever", which would put her at a complete disadvantage in front of Zheng Lei.
She could guess at least 30% of what Zheng Lei was thinking, and her aura must not be weak.
Zheng Lei was sitting in the back seat at this time, observing the conversation between the two. Shen Rou was indeed the one with a lower status. As long as she could make the decision, she would have already decided, and she had to be careful to ask Ji Huai.
Is this marriage probably in name only
Thinking about it, her morale increased greatly.
"You can eat anything." Ji Huai drove the car out of the garage. Shen Rou couldn't guess what he meant, so she changed her mind, "Then I'll find a nearby one on my phone? How about barbecue?"
No outsiders can see anything at home, but outside, Zheng Lei is still there, and she still wants face.
Can't be humble.
"No barbecue." Ji Huai objected.
Shen Rou didn't reply and continued to look at her phone.
Zheng Lei will see it in her eyes. If a man is not used to a woman, whether he has feelings for her or not is already shown in his behavior. Ji Huai did not give Shen Rou a chance to decide.
When you're with a man, you can't decide what to eat, and he doesn't even consider his suggestions. How pitiful is that
Last time she and Ji Huai went to dinner, she said she wanted to eat rice noodles, and he didn't object.
She felt that Ji Huai's boredom had become obvious. She looked ahead and spoke on her own initiative, "Actually, I also want to eat barbecue. There is a barbecue here. It is very famous and very close. It is too late now. Tingrou Sister, you can go and have barbecue."
On the surface, she was agreeing with Shen Rou and easing the atmosphere. In fact, she also wanted to test Ji Huai.
I just want to see his attitude.
"She doesn't want to eat barbecue." Ji Huai's words were neither salty nor bland, and there was no emotion.
"Ah? Don't you want to eat?" Zheng Lei didn't quite understand.
Ji Huai turned the steering wheel and said, "She wants to eat Yangcheng hot pot."
Shen Rou looked sideways at him and said softly, "It'll take an hour and a half."
She really wanted to eat hot pot. She just wanted to eat hot pot, but she wanted to eat it even more now.
"It's okay if there's no traffic jam now. We have to go there anyway." Ji Huai answered.
"Xiao Lei, where do you live?" Shen Rou turned around and looked at Zheng Lei and asked.
That square was the square next to their home. They had to go back wherever they went to eat, but now there were more than just the two of them in the car, and there was also a half-student of his.
"Near Sunshine Community." Zheng Lei answered vaguely, not keeping up with their chat frequency.
She had just graduated not long ago, so naturally she couldn't afford to live in a very high-end place. In fact, she lived in a self-built house next door, which was relatively remote and the environment was not very good.
"I know that place, and it's quite close." Shen Rou nodded, "Do you want to eat hot pot? We were going to have hot pot just now, and then we rushed back to the hospital. That hot pot tastes good, you can try it too. "
When it came to this point, they didn't give her a chance to choose. Zheng Lei could only nod, "Okay, I also like hot pot."
"That's good." Shen Rou smiled and said no more.
Next, the atmosphere in the car was a little quiet. Zheng Lei originally thought that Shen Rou was a little embarrassed. She talked a lot and would definitely not be left alone. But now, she was sitting alone in the back seat and felt a little uncomfortable.
Finally arrived at the square.
Find the restaurant, go in and take a seat.
"I'm a little embarrassed." When Zheng Lei sat down, her face was a little shy and a little uneasy, but she played the role of an ignorant girl who had just emerged from society vividly.
"It doesn't matter. Dr. Ji can afford to treat us to dinner. You can go and get whatever you want. You don't have to save money for him." Shen Rou handed her the menu and spoke in an easy-going manner.
"I want a bottle of milk at room temperature." Ji Huai looked at Xian and said, and then asked Zheng Lei, "What are you drinking?"
"I can do it." Zheng Lei replied.
"It can be anything?" Ji Huai frowned, "Order whatever you want to drink."
In fact, he and Zheng Lei haven't made much progress yet. At his position, he won't lay down his body for a graduate student who has nothing. He is still in a state of being seduced by her and he will not refuse.
Zheng Lei was very ambitious and unscrupulous. It took a lot of effort to get rid of her in the last life. In this life, he didn't want to provoke her, and there was no need.
"Then I also want milk, also at room temperature." Zheng Lei said quickly.
She drinks the same as him.
"Two bottles of milk and a glass of lemonade." Ji Huai said.
"Okay." The waiter wrote it down.
Zheng Lei didn't order more, and then handed over the menu, and Shen Rou took it. She was accustomed to give it to Ji Huai, but after thinking about it, she ordered first and asked him sideways, "Beef with coriander, crispy meat, smoked pork." Pork belly, what else?”
"Let me take a look." Ji Huai took the milk from the waiter, placed it in front of her, and leaned over to take a look.
Shen Rou wanted to show intimacy and deliberately ordered a few of his favorite dishes before asking him. Unexpectedly, Ji Huai came over and took a look and lost interest, "You order, I will eat what you eat. "
This sentence was very casual, but it made Shen Rou's restless heart slowly calm down, and the corners of her mouth raised, "Then I can order it casually?"
Ji Huai crossed his feet, lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and nodded.
Zheng Lei took the bottle of room-temperature milk, looked at the lemonade in front of Ji Huai, then looked at the milk in front of Shen Rou, and secretly bit her lower lip.
So what if I order milk
After being together for so many years, many things are just habits and casual things.
She didn't think the relationship between the two was good.
"That's all for now." After Shen Rou ordered, she handed the menu to the waiter and looked at Zheng Lei opposite, "You can eat more later, you're welcome."
"Thank you, Sister Rou." Zheng Lei smiled slightly and replied while drinking milk.
Shen Rou is already over 20 years old, shouldn't she just call her sister? But men always like young girls.
Ji Huai blocked his cell phone, put it on the table, put his hand on his lap, and did not answer the two of them.
He has always spoken very little, especially in the hospital, but the more such a man is, the deeper and more rational his mind is, but the more interesting he is.
"How was your stay in the hospital? Are you getting used to it?" Shen Rou found a topic to talk about and spoke openly, just like chatting with her normally.
She is approachable and her words are pleasant to listen to.
"Well, I like my current job very much. I think it's very good. I still have a lot to learn and I'm working hard." Zheng Lei said yearningly and wanted to be a good doctor.
Zheng Lei secretly looked at Ji Huai out of the corner of her eye and found that he didn't respond. He seemed to be listening to them, but she felt like he wasn't listening.
"How great would that be? Engaging in a career I like is what I want to do most." Shen Rou agreed.
"What are you doing, Sister Rou?" Zheng Lei started to inquire.
It seems that she went out to work very early and gave money to Ji Huai to study. She really admired her stupidity.
"I work for capitalists, an office worker." Shen Rou would not exaggerate herself.
"That's fine. Your salary must be very high. We only earn a few thousand yuan a month. It's miserable." Zheng Lei started to feel miserable, but she didn't feel inferior at all.
She will be able to earn a lot of money if she becomes a full-time employee in the future, and she can climb high.
Women who make their own money are not called powerful, women who let men spend money are successful.
Shen Rou: "It will get higher gradually. I have only been working for 3,000 months since I started working. The older you get, the more popular your doctors become. We are having a mid-life crisis..."
"That's right. There is a wave of layoffs in private companies at the age of 35. Think about it this way, we have less money but less anxiety." Zheng Lei interrupted before Shen Rou could finish her words, with a look of understanding.
Shen Rou is not upset. She will allocate her assets well. It doesn't matter if she is laid off. The income from investment and financial management will be enough to meet the expenses. It's just that this girl has seen too little of the world and is a little blindly confident.
Just as she was about to speak, Ji Huai beside her spoke, "Only by dawdling around will you have less money and less anxiety."
The smile on Zheng Lei's face froze. She felt like he was quarreling with her, but she wasn't sure. She could only look at him with a smile, "That's right."
"Everyone has his own way of living, and girls don't have to work too hard." Shen Rou didn't expect that she would be the one to ease the atmosphere, and Ji Huai's words immediately stopped him.
"You tell others not to work too hard, why are you working so hard yourself?" Ji Huai asked her.
Shen Rou was slightly startled. After she realized what she was doing, she was afraid of showing her emotions. She took the milk and drank it, her expression calmed down and said, "It's different."
How could she keep up with him if she didn't work hard
It is impossible to stay where you are.
"I don't understand what you are thinking." After Ji Huai said this, he said nothing more.
Zheng Lei looked at Shen Rou with admiration, "Dr. Ji may not understand, but actually I want to be like Sister Rou. Only when I earn something by myself can I feel safe. What is on my body cannot be taken away by others. Stuff and work are also important.”
Just say it, there must be something wrong with the relationship between the two people. How impatient was Ji Huai when he replied
Men still like women who rely on themselves. If they are so showy, men's love can only be given to women who need it more.
Shen Rou couldn't understand the meaning of her words. She raised her red lips and nodded her head to emphasize, "Xiao Lei understands us women. Whatever we earn by ourselves is ours and no one else can take it away."
"But as married women, we have to take care of our families. You may not understand that. There are quite a lot of things to take care of. I can only say that we try to balance both sides."
The other party quite understood her and immediately thought of her as a woman who only cared about work and family, and didn't care about Ji Huai.
"Try to balance as much as possible?" Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, looked at her sideways and said bluntly, "What I want is not to try your best. You should slow down your work and re-plan your life."
Zheng Lei was quite happy to hear it. Ji Huai didn't give Shen Rou face. Even Shen Rou herself felt that he was trying to make trouble, so she suppressed her temper and said, "Okay."
Go back and settle accounts.
Give him face, otherwise the quarrel will be too embarrassing.
"Agreed?" Ji Huai asked.
Shen Rou took a deep breath and answered ambiguously, "It's about planning well."
She was furious.
If she hadn't been able to have an attack in front of Zheng Lei, she would have started to quarrel again. She argued with him every day. The quarrels affected her mood very much, and she was unable to do anything.
Very helpless.
Ji Huai said nothing more.
Zheng Lei also pretended not to hear it. Halfway through her meal, she got up and went to the toilet.
When I got to the bathroom, I read the message from my best friend and replied excitedly: "I just said that the relationship between the two is not very good, and she has no status. She was directly arranged by others."
"After so many years, how can I still have any feelings? That tone, it's not good anyway, I was very happy to hear it. In comparison, his attitude towards me is much better."
"Of course I will get it. The man I want will not let it go easily. How good is this opportunity? This is the best opportunity. If you can't understand the facts, you will have to endure hardship. This is the fastest way to rise. .”
…
She and her best friend continued to chat.
In this world, if you want to live a good life, do you still need to consider so many things
Women who don’t understand can only live a miserable life!
When she walked out, she saw that Shen Rou and Ji Huai were about to quarrel, and she just heard her say, "We can go back and talk about these issues slowly."
Zheng Lei slowed down, it was too late now, she already knew.
The relationship is broken, so humble.
"What's there to talk about? Didn't you agree?" Ji Huai was indifferent.
"What did I promise?" Shen Rou laughed angrily. Did he have to fight her outside
"Rearrange your life and return to your family," he said.
Zheng Lei was not here, but Shen Rou still lowered her voice, "How can I return when I return to my family? What kind of return do you want?"
They had been arguing about this issue every day in the past. Ji's mother kept saying that she didn't look like a wife and didn't take good care of Ji Huai. Do you want her to do everything and be a mother-in-law
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Rou saw Zheng Lei. She withdrew her expression and sat up straight.
Not even a single meal tastes good.
She was irritated and helpless.
Zheng Lei stopped procrastinating and walked back with a smile, pretending not to hear anything.
As soon as he sat down, Ji Huai said: "How long do you want to work hard? This is not what you should do right now."
"We won't discuss this topic, let's eat first." Shen Rou didn't want to say this in front of outsiders, hoping he would stop there.
Zheng Lei knew that she wanted to maintain her dignity, so she pretended to be embarrassed, "Yes, sister Rou, you have to talk carefully. Quarreling is very emotional. Eating is the most important thing."
Does Shen Rou think it's too embarrassing for her? He called her name and said it intentionally to hurt her feelings.
Before she could argue, Ji Huai spoke up first, "I didn't quarrel with her. Taking a good rest and preparing for pregnancy is what she should do right now."
"No amount of money you make can make up for your broken body. We still have to have children."
He spoke seriously, in a report-like tone.
Shen Rou was about to fall out at first, but was confused by his words, and saw him speaking seriously with a straight face.
This person has always been uninteresting. This is not the first time she has known that even if she does good things for you, she can make you angry and refuse to communicate.
It's good for her to have a good rest, and she is very willing to prepare for pregnancy, but can this person not be so confident and make a decision for her
Where did Zheng Lei notice Ji Huai's tone
When she heard about pregnancy preparation, she was stunned.
It’s difficult when you have children.
"I understand." Shen Rou looked at him and answered every word without refuting.
Zheng Lei could not figure out the two of them.
When paying the bill, she followed Shen Rou. Ji Huai stood at the window to pay. Shen Rou followed him and whispered, "Why do you always have the ability to make me angry to death?"
"Why am I so angry with you? It's not good for me." Ji Huai glanced at the bill and settled the bill.
"What you said before made me very angry." Shen Rou once felt that he had not given her face. When she saw him walking out, she didn't care about Zheng Lei behind her and quickly followed her, "Ji Huai, why don't you behave well?" Talking? You won’t use a discussion tone?”
Ji Huai: "If you waste your body like that, you will suffer a lot when you become an advanced mother."
"Didn't you say it was still early?" She refused.
"That was before, you could live as long as you could afford it." He glanced at her and replied.
"You keep changing, why?" Shen Rou had completely forgotten Zheng Lei behind her, followed Ji Huai's footsteps, and reached out to hold his hand.
Is this man going to give birth to a child
But when it comes to having children, relationships, etc., and things like that have warmed up, of course she won't be restrained.
"So I asked you to make some plans. When you have time, come and I will check your body and prepare for pregnancy." Ji Huai sighed and still let her hold him.
Shen Rou: "Should I prepare it alone?"
"Can you give birth alone?" Ji Huai was amused by her.
After hearing this, her face flushed, and she put her hands around his. It was too early for her to give birth alone.
"Go in." Ji Huai came to the car and opened the door for her.
Shen Rou had already sat in before she remembered Zheng Lei. She looked back and saw her trotting over, still out of breath. Just as Zheng Lei was about to open the car door, Ji Huai reminded her, "It's closer to where you live on foot. If you drive, it's the other way around." direction."
"Ah?" Zheng Lei's face changed slightly and she retracted her hand, "Is that so?"
Shen Rou could have asked her to get in the car first, and then find a nearby intersection to get off, or send her back directly, which would be a small detour, but instead she said, "Yeah, I just forgot to ask you, how about taking a car?" Isn’t it convenient?”
"It's inconvenient." Ji Huai said without hesitation.
Shen Rou: "..."
This person was always unpleasant when he talked about it, but today's unpleasantness made her happy.
In the end, Zheng Lei didn't get in the car. She was super embarrassed and said that she would just walk back without bothering. She also said thank you. When she turned around, her face was like pig liver and she walked with a dejected look.
On the way.
Shen Rou pointedly said, "That student of yours is very sad today."
"What's so sad?" Ji Huai was confused.
"Can't you tell that someone is interested in you? I heard what she said outside the duty room that day." She looked forward, saying it was impossible not to be touched in her heart.
I have very complicated feelings, afraid that he will no longer belong to her.
"I don't really feel it, and I won't be confused about this kind of thing. Do you like me because I'm older? Or is it because of something?" His tone was light and he didn't respond, as if he didn't care at all.
When he could carry it clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I have gone through hardships with you, and there are countless people who want to enjoy the blessings. In fact, sometimes, I would rather you not be so successful, really."
Ji Huai turned around and took the time to look at her, "Then you should take good care of yourself, live a long life, and give birth to our child as soon as possible."
Shen Rou: "..."
Can you say something nice to coax her
Just when she was disappointed, his low voice echoed in the carriage, "I have not achieved anything, so what's the point of your hardships? I have been relying on you to support you? Don't take away your dignity as a man. No one can take away your things, I said If you do, it will count for the rest of your life!"
Shen Rou chuckled, "Yes, I should enjoy myself well, otherwise I will be sorry for myself."
Ji Huai: "Don't work too hard. If I can support you, it's time to prepare for pregnancy."
She grabbed her hand and didn't reply.
In fact, when he just graduated, she successfully changed jobs and received a salary increase of 8,000, but she was very tired and exhausted. She actually wanted to get pregnant and have a baby and could afford it, but he didn't let her.
She was the one who said it all the time, but he refused and insisted on establishing a career and having another child.
Back home.
Take a shower and go to bed.
She went to deal with things early in the morning, then caught a plane, went to the hospital with him, and then came back after eating, very tired.
When Ji Huai fell asleep, Shen Rou felt that it was rare to have such a harmonious relationship and was reluctant to sleep. She turned sideways and talked to him, "I really haven't been feeling well recently. Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well some time ago."
When she faced him, she still talked a lot, but he disliked talking to her less and less.
Sometimes I really just want to talk to him, or even hold him without doing anything, instead of being impatient and cold-blooded.
Ji Huai covered himself with quilt, "Insomnia?"
"It's not like you don't know that I can't sleep well if I quarrel with you, but you still deliberately ignore me like this even though you know it. I just want to talk to you about something and explain it to you." Shen Rouyue The more I feel aggrieved, "You just treat some things as past without mentioning them. In fact, they are not past. I feel uncomfortable in my heart."
He always felt that it was not important and she would adjust herself.
"The more the noise gets worse, the more violent it becomes. How dare I argue with you?" Ji Huai put his hand on his forehead and rubbed his temples. "It's also my problem. I've been under a lot of pressure recently and I don't want it to be transferred to you. Tell me what's wrong with you? I'll explain."
The explanation he uttered was so rare that Shen Rou took a breath. In the past, she would never have made such a loud noise.
"Don't cry. I'll explain when I tell you." Ji Huai pulled her into his arms, "I'll explain everything, just don't cry."
The long-lost embrace, Shen Rou nestled in his arms, the familiar feeling, she whispered softly, and sometimes she complained softly, feeling super aggrieved.
There were too many arguments between the two during this period, and the one who was tempted the most was destined to lose miserably.
So she was the one compromising. She convinced herself to forgive him for many things, and she really couldn't explain a few points.
Once he was coaxed, he really lost his temper.
Ji Huai still discussed it carefully with her, and found a reason to explain what should be explained. He, a person who went to bed on time at twelve o'clock, told her until half past three.
Shen Rou fell asleep in his arms, all the awkwardness and grievances in her heart were relieved. She put her slender hands around his neck and said in a soft voice, "Hubby, do you want to go to bed? You have to go to work tomorrow. .”
"I can't sleep anymore." Ji Huai hugged her.
She raised her head slightly and looked at him. She just recalled the past, and she still felt a little like she was in love or newly married. The person she liked looked good everywhere.
A little bit of good feels very good to her.
Shen Rou leaned over and kissed his chin, "I still missed you when I was on a business trip. I don't know if your feelings for me are still the same as before, but my feelings for you have never changed."
She had always loved him, really loved him.
"Flirting in the middle of the night." Ji Huai turned over and looked at her underneath him, "Aren't you angry anymore?"
"Yes." She nodded vigorously.
"Are you clear?" he asked again.
"kindness."
Ji Huai: "Then you can sleep peacefully and stop crying secretly?"
"...Yeah." She pursed her lips, coquettishly, "You didn't even respond to what I said."
It took a lot of effort to get it out of my mouth.
Does he still love her
"I'll respond in a different way." After he said that, he leaned down and kissed his glossy and delicate pink lips.
Shen Rou was brought back in the middle of the night to be tortured. The room was full of beauty, but the moans didn't stop for a long time. He was not lenient when he tortured others, and had to make trouble until almost dawn.
Her movements were more enthusiastic, she squinted her eyes, she just had to do it, but she was still very, very happy.
When they hugged each other again, Ji Huai put his forehead against her slightly damp hair, pecked her lightly with his thin lips, and said in a low and lingering voice, "I told you when I proposed that I will love you forever and will never change."
"Xiaorou, let's stop arguing, okay?"
…
