After taking Hai Tong for a stroll around her villa, Lan Jing excused herself to go back to the house for a lunch break.
“Cousin’s wife should go back for her lunch break, I’ll sit here and enjoy the scenery.”
Hai Tong did not want to go back to the house, she preferred the layout of the scenery in the courtyard to the splendour inside the house.
Just now, she also saw a few small plots of vegetables by the fence, which she guessed were vegetables her aunt had grown herself.
It was true that Mrs Shang was now a wealthy noblewoman, but she had grown up in an orphanage, had experienced poverty, and now that she was retired at home and no longer in charge of things in the company, it was normal that she would grow some of her own vegetables.
“Are you going to be cold? If you’re cold, I’ll have someone send you one of my coats to wear.”
The Hai Tong sisters hadn’t brought any clothes with them, they thought it was just a meal, a little chat and then they could go home.
They thought it was just a meal and a chat and then they could go home. They didn’t expect that Mrs. Shang would stay with them for a few days and in the evening she had to go back and get a change of clothes.
“Thank you, cousin’s wife, I’m not cold.”
Lan Jing smiled, “Then you wait for a while, I’ll go back inside for my lunch break, I’m used to it, I’m not in the mood when it’s time.” m.
Hai Tong expressed her understanding.
Her routine was also like this.
After waiting for Lan Jing to go back inside, Hai Tong took out her phone and tapped on WeChat, staring at Zhan Yin’s WeChat avatar and found that he had changed it to that photo of him showing off his wedding ring.
Hai Tong couldn’t help but smile, and the little bit of dissatisfaction she had with him in her heart gradually disappeared.
She clicked on the video call.
War Yin quickly answered it.
“Tong Tong.”
His low but somewhat hoarse voice came out, and Hai Tong’s heart inexplicably tugged at hearing his voice like that.
It was because the couple had fallen out again, she had gotten drunk in a bar, he had been away on a business trip, he was afraid something would happen to her and had come back overnight, and then had to rush over afterwards, exhausting him, right?
“You, didn’t sleep well?”
“No, I might have caught a cold.”
He was a bit barred by the cold shower all the time in the middle of winter.
Hai Tong said to him, “Put on more clothes and eat on time, I’m fine, I just went to have a few drinks and just let out my frustration.”
War Yin looked at her for a long time and said, “Tong Tong, I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”
“It’s my fault for being too sensitive, for being self-centered and not considering your feelings, you are a more independent girl, I knew that a long time ago, yet I always thought of you relying on me completely to satisfy my big man’s pride.”
“I’m careful, I’m petty, next time I make a mistake like that, scold me as hard as you can, but don’t run off to the bar and drink again, okay? You’re not a good drinker, and when you get drunk and cry and throw up, it’s hard for you, and it’s hard for me to watch and be heartbroken.”
“A hangover also gives you a splitting headache, a pain I’ve tasted too, and I find it particularly hard and don’t want you to keep tasting that pain.”
Hai Tong silently looked at him in the video, listening to his apology, listening to his reflective words, she recalled a bit of the couple’s call that night, soft voice, “Zhan Yin, I was thinking that I can handle those things, so I don’t need to tell you everything, but, another way of looking at it, you reacted so much, it’s actually a way of caring for me.”
“In the future, we both give each other a little more patience, give each other a little more understanding, we are a couple united without a foundation of affection, I dare not guarantee that after this matter, we will not even have conflicts in the future, but I can guarantee that in the future, when we encounter problems again, each other first calm down for two days, and then calmly communicate.”
The couple were both hurt by this conflict.
Couples have to live a lifetime, life is a long road, quarrels, cold wars, misunderstandings, will always recur.
