Chapter Nine, The Fake Husband ABC

My reputation has been completely ruined by the lies of a false marriage

I did not wait for him to finish speaking and hurriedly ran out to chase after Light Beauty. By the time I ran down, Light Beauty had already taken Sister Jin's car back.

Light Beauty looked at us and said two answers, with a face full of surprise

Some people have finally been worn down by life to the point of no longer believing in true love

When it comes to handling affairs, others are like emperors, while we are merely concubines, needing to flatter and serve them, and occasionally we must also discern their intentions. Sensing that he is displeased, I immediately start to appease him: "You are very mature now; I am just a bit nervous, I apologize! Please forgive me!"

I saw a fleeting look of displeasure and sadness in his eyes, as if he felt I was being too disrespectful to him, and he threw it into the cabinet without even flipping through it

Is it that we have arrived at an inopportune time? You haven't just engaged in 'intense exercise,' have you? Look at this sweat on your forehead; had I known, we would have waited a bit longer outside

"Bean, you old cow are eating tender grass and still following the trend," said Hu Lijuan

Indeed, this is a case of a woman with talent and a man with looks

I asked him in exasperation: "What exactly have you written?"

Why ask Daniel and not me? Light beauty, they are definitely the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, and they must have realized that I always procrastinate. Perhaps they have already guessed about my fake marriage! I suddenly woke up from my confused state.

I accepted the penalty of drinking. Daniel said it is not good for women to get drunk, so he drank in my place. Unexpectedly, at a critical moment, he was quite manly. Daniel is very good at chatting with them; usually, when I ask him something, he replies to me with just one word, like ABC. Yet, he can talk so much; could it be that the presence of beautiful women stimulates a man's inner potential?

Walking back, in the corridor where we were about to part ways, he said: "If you are feeling down, please tell me, do not keep it to yourself."

I remember when they asked me how I fell in love with my husband. I told them: At that time, we were both in school. When I went to school for registration, all the other seats were taken, and there was only an empty spot next to him, so I sat down. He started chatting with me, and I was too shy to look at him, only listening to his pleasant voice—this was our first encounter. Later, as we interacted more, there was one time on the playground when we talked about literature and life, and we kept talking until there was nothing left to say. He was nervous the whole time, and I vaguely felt that he had something important to say. I kept waiting for him to say it, but in the end, he never mustered the courage.

He hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, and said to me: "Then promise me, just this once"

Oh, I forgot, I haven't prepared anything.

"You love him very much, don't you?" he asked me after we had both been silent for a long time

Light Beauty mentioned that Daniel had previously said he would make sushi and pasta for them, and they were clamoring to taste their brother-in-law's skills. Daniel was more than happy to oblige, eagerly expressing his desire to showcase his culinary talents

I was walking when I suddenly stopped and stared at him. The man before me holds a doctor's degree from Harvard. I often flaunted in front of him, but now I realize that he is a person who does not show off, merely disdainful of ostentation. I began to look at him with new eyes and expressed my deep admiration. Harvard? Isn't that the university where Zhu Yesheng pursued his doctorate?

He appeared baffled, completely unable to understand

Next Tuesday, don't cook, I'll treat you! I realized that the gathering is coming up soon, and I've been making various excuses before. Sister Jin has already expressed her dissatisfaction, and if I make any more excuses, I will probably be suspected. So I told him: "Our company is having a gathering, and they insist that I bring my husband and children along. Where am I supposed to find them? You're just right there, can you help me?"

My heart is pounding continuously, success or failure hinges on this one moment, whether I can continue at this company depends on today's performance

I still do not know your son's name

Three women gathered together are definitely louder than sparrows, and I am truly afraid that these women will gossip about us being a fake couple. I tried to evade the issue, but this time they refused to agree to anything. Sister Jin also spoke up. I really had no choice but to agree.

I only felt a large drop of sweat rolling down my forehead. Looking at Daniel, he finally understood Lijuan's meaning and had already turned red with embarrassment. I pretended to be calm as I inserted some toothpicks into the plate, encouraging everyone to sit and chat while eating salad

"Should we go to the supermarket to buy some groceries? Since we have nothing to do, we can buy whatever we need," said Light Beauty

When I went to Daniel's house for dinner in the evening, I inadvertently mentioned to him that a colleague was coming to my house, but I didn't dare to let them come, exclaiming what a thrilling day it was

"Don't worry, it's fine. With me here, it will be just like last time, right?" Daniel reassured me

Daniel shared his knowledge of healthy eating with Light Beauty and mentioned that he would give her a book, but he forgot that all the books were at his own home. So I could only say that I had put the books away, rummaged through everything, and finally found the nutrition and health book that I had thrown into the cabinet. I gave it to Light Beauty

On Tuesday evening, I told him to dress more maturely and to make sure he didn't look like my little brother—I am quite sensitive to others saying that I am an old cow eating tender grass. He seemed unhappy and said, "Am I really that young?"

Light Beauty saw Daniel and enviously said: "Sister Douzi, your husband is so handsome and young! If you didn't say anything, who would guess that your son is already 5 years old!"

After Daniel returned, he greeted everyone and then went into the kitchen. Sister Jin and the others exclaimed that Daniel was virtuous. Light Beauty observed from the side in the name of learning, watching and praising, saying that Daniel's knife skills were agile and his techniques were proficient, exclaiming that I was a fortunate person

At that moment, Daniel, who had disappeared for a few minutes, emerged from the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit salad and, not knowing where he had heard it from, added, "Why wait outside?"

"Sister Douzi, are you afraid that someone will take your brother-in-law away, which is why you have been keeping it all to yourself? Your brother-in-law treats you so well, he would never cheat!" said Light Beauty.

I casually tossed the last piece of clothing onto the bed, feeling that something was missing, but I couldn't dwell on it too much and went to open the door

I blame Daniel for agreeing without consulting me, and I am also angry that he wants to make sushi for them. Who do you think you are to be angry? At this moment, I realize that I am indeed a petty and selfish person. Do women want to possess things they do not desire?

Seeing them chat happily, I decided not to worry about Daniel. Even when I went to the restroom, I forgot to remind him not to speak carelessly—who would have thought that in such a short time, something could go wrong

How about another day? My home is quite messy. I estimate I will need to shop for a while. Why don't you come to the supermarket and shop together?

As she was leaving, Light Beauty shook the book in her hand at Daniel and said thank you for the book, brother-in-law. Daniel turned around and anxiously asked me if I had given the one he gifted me to Light Beauty. I replied, "Yes, what’s wrong?"

On several occasions, when asked whether I had a cesarean section or a natural birth, I casually mentioned that it was a natural birth. Then they asked me if natural birth was painful and how many hours it took to deliver. After that, those female colleagues who had given birth chatted with me about how difficult it is to raise children. Light Beauty and a few young girls asked me how I met my husband, repeatedly urging me to share the story of our acquaintance. I am truly afraid that one day I will forget what I have said and expose myself.

Have you caught up?

Forget it, you definitely don't know. Yes, Harvard is so large, and they are not studying the same major, so how could they possibly know each other

I know of several good properties that you might consider. We are also thinking about investing in another one. If we don't buy this year, we will definitely regret it later

Who says otherwise

I am surprised that this married woman speaks so freely and has such a vivid imagination

Call me wife later, don't let it slip! We have a five-year-old son, remember! I won't forget to remind him

I called Daniel to put things away, feeling quite nervous inside, and tried to speak calmly: "The house is too messy, and it hasn't been tidied up yet, so I apologize for the embarrassment." Then I picked up the men's clothes that had just been thrown on the bed, folded them neatly, and put them in the wardrobe, and also placed the shoes that were left outside into the shoe cabinet.

The more she spoke, the more anxious I became. Seeing Sister Jin follow her gaze, I nervously looked over as well, fearing that something might be discovered. I had never been this tense even during inspections by superiors

When I said it was getting late and I needed to go back, he suddenly grabbed my hand and said: "Douzi, be with me, I will always cherish you, protect you, and not let you suffer any grievances"

Daniel said appreciatively: "Good!"

"The beans are indeed knowledgeable, even the name of the son carries such profound meaning," said Hu Lijuan

I did not lie, it is true," he said to me earnestly

In China, although the status of women has improved significantly, they are still regarded as primarily responsible for managing the household and raising children. Moreover, women themselves also desire to find a man who can take care of them and provide for them; otherwise, how could the current housing prices and living costs be so high? Do not think that it is solely the influence of mothers-in-law; there is also the tacit approval from women themselves.

"I have everything ready," Daniel said

What should I do? Cold mixed! I blame him for meddling.

One weekend, while I was at home typing, I received a call from a colleague. Light Beauty and Lijuan were shopping at the mall and, recalling that I had mentioned living nearby, they asked me which community I lived in and which building, wanting to come over to my place for a visit

Do you have it or not in your home

The enthusiasm of foreigners is well known, and I fear that I might misinterpret the emotions that seem normal to them as being overly sentimental. This reminds me of the saying, "The sentimental are always troubled by the indifferent." The consequences of being overly sentimental always end up hurting oneself, with no regard for others. Therefore, I always refrain from indulging in wild thoughts, I dare not look into his deep eyes, and I avoid it, fearing to fall into a void of emotions.

No! I replied somewhat resentfully, feeling that this time the odds were not in our favor

I lament: "Clearly, you knew him earlier and even bore his child, so why are those young girls surpassing you? What do they have besides youth? We women have poured our hearts into this family, yet in the end, we receive no good!" After experiencing several affairs with married men and encountering a few classmates who have divorced, I am completely confused by marriage. It is said that the current divorce rate across the country remains around 30 percent, which means that roughly one in three couples ends in divorce. The probability is astonishing.

"Why?" Daniel asked in confusion

Sometimes you will find that when you decide to forget a painful memory, it will occasionally be brought up, forcing you to recall it. The reason people are keen on reminiscing is that it can no longer be had. Even if it was painful, that hurt becomes distant and precious over the long passage of time in memory

I became flustered, looking at Daniel, unsure of what he had said. If we couldn't even agree on our wedding anniversary and the number of years we had been married, wouldn't Jin Jie start to doubt my character? Fortunately, there were no greater mistakes; I simply said I remembered it incorrectly and that I wasn't as attentive as Daniel.

What exactly was written

You didn't mention it, and I hadn't noticed. If you hadn't said that your son is already five years old, we really wouldn't have been able to tell. Why is it that your home has no children's toys or clothes at all? Unlike our house, which is a complete mess, with little shoes, small clothes, and backpacks everywhere... That little rascal throws pencils, erasers, and notebooks all over the place, and I can't keep up with the cleaning. At least Douzi is diligent; this place is tidier than a single dormitory.

Good. I am filled with joy

I know this person well; he belongs to the type that is steadfast and unwavering. Even if I were to drive him away, he would not leave.

He asked with a nervous expression: "Did you see what I wrote to you in that book?"

Who is it

On the way back, I asked him somewhat jealously: "Usually when I ask you something, you either say 'OK' or 'I see', so why is it that when you talk to them, you can go on and on, with reasons and logic? I guess after our elusive boss, you have become their new idol!"

"Some people are not worth remembering, while others are worth cherishing," he said, as if he understood something

I am baffled: "No, what did you write?"

Daniel went out to buy something, and I chatted with them. However, women, when together, have nothing else to talk about but relationships, marriage, and life

Daniel, could you tell us how you met Sister Douzi

We haven't cooked for a long time, those things are from a long time ago and cannot be used, we need to buy fresh ones. Honey, you go buy them, I will chat with Jin Jie and the others. I felt a bit nervous again

I smiled foolishly, unsure whether to acknowledge it or not

Husband, over here! I waved at him and walked up to link my arm with his. He seemed a bit awkward, his old habit of shyness resurfacing.

He rigidly applied the situation, revealing our experience of keeping vigil at Yulong Snow Mountain, claiming that it was on that night when we waited for the sunrise together and endured the cold together that he confessed his feelings to me

Aren't you putting me in a difficult position? Where am I supposed to get a child, especially one that is five years old, who would call me 'Mom' and you 'Dad'?

We are watching, indeed watching. I echoed.

"Oh! I just said I was going to grandma's place!" he exclaimed excitedly

I said you were at home. He looked innocent

When I returned from the restroom, they looked at me in surprise and said that I was not loyal enough, claiming that what I said was completely different from what Daniel had said, and that I should be punished by drinking wine

I hurried to the bathroom to wash my face, my mind filled with the scene of the Light Beauty group coming to visit. Oh no, there isn't a single piece of men's clothing in the house; it is obvious that this is a single woman's residence! How does this resemble a household that has been married for five or six years?

How do you determine the relationship

I suddenly felt as if I were sitting on pins and needles, at a loss for what to do, stammering as I thought about how to muddle through and deceive them by saying I was not at home. But before I could speak, Light Beauty said: "Did you not say you would be at home writing your manuscript? I hope I am not disturbing you"

"You just bully Daniel," Hu Lijuan said

No

Colleagues gathered for a meal, with many women present, inevitably leading to some gossip, mentioning that they finally got to meet the brother-in-law. When Daniel arrived, he was still dressed in all black casual attire—clearly a choice made at my request for something both dignified and mature.

He changed his answer back after I finished speaking, and I also changed mine to accommodate him, but the results were still different. I felt a sense of anxiety.

I recounted the sequence of events to him, but he expressed complete incomprehension. In their country, women are not discriminated against due to marriage and childbirth issues; otherwise, they can seek legal recourse.

I am renting a one-bedroom, one-living room furnished apartment. Now with both my husband and child here, it is clear that the space is too small. Daniel, being quite perceptive, said: "Originally, I had no plans to settle down here while I was abroad. Now that our son is growing up, and we are reluctant to leave home, we have decided to settle down."

He said that I am very kind, and that increasing employee benefits will not affect profits, while any corporate culture that sacrifices or stifles employee interests is akin to depleting resources.

During the meal, the conversation constantly revolved around how Daniel and I met. It seems that everyone thinks I am incredibly fortunate to have found such a husband, as if it were a blessing from above or a sign of ancestral favor. It was the first time I realized how inadequate I am

"Did you not ask me to perform well?" he innocently retorted to me

This man, there are not many who can withstand temptation! As people say, a cat does not steal fishy things because the fishy smell is not strong enough, Jin Jie also said

Alright, let me know in advance next time so that I can prepare to host you for dinner! I finally breathed a sigh of relief

Sister Juan, what is the reason for that? I have been experiencing back pain recently as well, and I was thinking of going for a spa massage.

When will you be back? If we haven't left yet, let's have dinner together in the evening. We haven't been to your house yet

Let us go to your place to hide, just say that you are not home! I pulled him and walked outside

I told him not to casually mix in a few English words, as it comes across as pretentious. However, he expressed that it was difficult for him and innocently said, "I don't know." It seems that even though he has the face of a Chinese person and speaks Chinese quite well, he was ultimately raised in the United States and cannot live without English

Daniel recounted: "About ten years ago, I saw her photo at a friend's place. At that time, she was only in her twenties, standing among the flowers, smiling beautifully. Later, when I came to China, I encountered a girl on the bus, and it turned out to be Douzi. At that time, I was not familiar with the transportation in China, and she helped me with directions, but unfortunately, she pointed me the wrong way, causing me to walk a lot further, which left a deep impression on me"

Nothing! He is sulking and angry

"Bean, why do you want to hide such a romantic thing? Previously, when I asked you to bring Daniel, you kept saying he was clumsy and dull. I think Daniel is much more genuine than you," said Sister Jin.

Although I hope to have a man who can take care of me and is more capable than I am, mutual respect is non-negotiable. I cannot be a subordinate; we must be equal. Women should hold up half the sky! I am reminded of "To the Oak Tree," where one should be a tree that withstands the wind and rain together, rather than merely a flower that can be admired and toyed with.

Oh, what a coincidence, I just left home not long ago. I remembered that many daily necessities at home have run out, so I went to the supermarket to buy some

In the coming days, my colleagues at the company indeed showed great interest in Daniel, admiring the affection between my husband and me, and envying me for having found such a talented and handsome husband. They insisted on hearing love stories from me and insisted on visiting our home, saying that Daniel had promised to make sushi and pasta for them.

Daniel sometimes behaves like a little lord, with a very stubborn temper

Like all stories in love and life, it begins beautifully, ends mundanely, and the duration in between may be long or short, having already become a distant memory

Sister Douzi always goes back on her word

The determination of women is truly remarkable. By the time the weekend arrives, while I am at home enjoying a deep sleep, the doorbell keeps ringing, making it impossible for me to rest.

Wait a moment, wait a moment

"The society is like this, I am left with no choice, and it is not unreasonable to say so. If you help, then help; if not, then forget it." Although I agree with what he said, I am still angry that he stood by and did nothing.

When you tell others that you graduated from Stanford University, with dual master's degrees and a doctor's degree from the most prestigious Harvard University in the United States, and that you work in research and development at the largest electronics company in the country, you returned to Wuxi to settle down for the sake of the child. Look at the way those women gaze at me, with expressions of disbelief. Am I really that inferior? After all, I also graduated from a well-known university in the country. You boast so much, let's see how you will handle it later. You tell me not to lie, but you are better at deceiving than anyone else. After all, I also graduated from a well-known university in the country. You boast so much, let's see how you will handle it later. You tell me not to lie, but you are better at deceiving than anyone else.

I quickly flattered him, saying: "I was wrong, I spoke without thinking, and I shouldn't have been so provocative towards you. The main reason is that I always feel too old, so everyone seems young to me. You are so handsome, so don't hold it against me."

Light Beauty, Hu Lijuan, and Sister Jin have all arrived, carrying fruits and some gifts

I opened the door and saw Daniel. He anxiously said to me, "Light Beauty called me and asked for your address. I momentarily forgot and ended up giving her the address. What should we do?"

"Haoran." I blurted out, and Daniel was taken aback. I explained, "Wen Haoran, derived from 'Mencius: Gongsun Chou I,' where it states, 'I am good at nurturing my Haoran spirit... Its essence is vast and resolute; if it is nurtured with integrity and without harm, it will fill the space between heaven and earth.' It signifies uprightness and integrity. Because both Daniel and I hope our child will grow up to be a person of integrity." I had just read 'An Analysis of Mencius' last night, and this name came to mind spontaneously. Because both Daniel and I hope our child will grow up to be a person of integrity. I had just read 'An Analysis of Mencius' last night, and this name came to mind spontaneously.

Do you know someone named Zhu Yesheng? He is also pursuing a doctor's degree at Harvard

I feigned nonchalance and shrugged, saying, "It's nothing, thank you for today!"

They were sizing up the house I rented. Although I had done my best to prepare, Light Beauty was still sharp-eyed. After taking a look around, she said to me, "Sister Douzi, why is everything in your home yours? Your brother-in-law is so good to you!"

Indeed, this has reminded me! My hometown is not far from here, so I will say that my son has been taken away by his grandmother! I force myself to calm down and consider how to arrange this act. Life is almost pushing me to become a director

This is deception! You will live in this deception in the future and will have to pay a great price for it. We live in this society, and there are times when we are not in control of our circumstances. Although sometimes we do not have the choice, we cannot allow ourselves to be ensnared in lies just to obtain some external possessions. Deception cannot be forgiven! Every time he speaks, I feel as if he radiates like a golden Buddha, exuding righteousness. Although sometimes we do not have the choice, we cannot allow ourselves to be ensnared in lies just to obtain some external possessions. Deception cannot be forgiven! Every time he speaks, I feel as if he radiates like a golden Buddha, exuding righteousness.

Jin Jie and Hu Lijuan were somewhat disdainful, not believing what I said. Meanwhile, Light Beauty enviously remarked that she also wants to find a man like Daniel in the future. This is probably the difference between those who have experienced it and those who have not.

Sister-brother relationships are quite common and are no longer a novelty. Light beauty is ultimately a young person, so there is nothing surprising about it

No wonder Zhu Yesheng has been alone abroad for so many years; at the very least, physiological issues cannot be resolved. Once a young woman persistently pursues him, can he resist? He must have found a new love. Those who have strayed do not necessarily have a strong affection for the new partner; it is just that the old love is irretrievable, and they can only cling to the new love, living one day at a time.

Shampoo and body wash are placed in the bathroom, cosmetics are arranged on the vanity, a few pieces of clothing are hung on the balcony, and slippers are deliberately placed outside for others to see. Just as we were busy in a flurry, the doorbell rang again

"Your brother-in-law is so handsome, so talented, are you at ease, Sister Douzi?" asked Light Beauty.

He was even more nervous than I was, running upstairs and shortly after bringing down a suitcase—more thoughtful than I had anticipated. Inside, in addition to clothes, there were men's skincare products and a razor.

Sorry! Don't worry! I will help you get it back, you don't need to worry. He initially wanted to leave in a huff, but turned back and said to me seriously to let me rest assured. He is always like this, his emotions are not easily discernible, and even when he is angry, he will politely apologize.

Then forget it, let's do it another day

Hu Lijuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Because I was afraid of interrupting your couple's exercise! Look at Douzi's sweaty face."

I will introduce them to each other, linking arms with Daniel, and with a beaming smile, I said: "This is the brother-in-law who is always busy, the one you all talk about, who is as elusive as a dragon, my husband Wen Jiaqi, everyone calls him Daniel." Then I introduced Daniel to my colleagues, including Light Beauty, Hu Lijuan, and Sister Jin one by one.

He went to his grandmother's house. My mother missed her grandson over the weekend, so she took him to stay there. I have exhausted all reasons to explain.

Sister Douzi, where is the little baby? Let Auntie take a look at whether the little one resembles Daddy or Mommy? Light beauty is warm-hearted, but she is quite talkative

He has stopped speaking

He said somewhat petulantly: "What I wrote is precisely about those matters of meeting you, as well as the dates..."

One must be cautious of men, especially someone as outstanding as Daniel! Those young girls out there have all sorts of tricks! Men love to show their affection. My ex-husband was entangled with a love-starved young girl from his company, and in the end, she became pregnant with his child, which ultimately led to our divorce. " Lijuan spoke of her heartache.

I let out a sigh and said, "It's just an ordinary friend." However, it is merely self-deception; the more I emphasize it, the more I care. I can't help but wonder what he is doing now. Perhaps he is sweetly spending time with his new girlfriend. Sometimes, thinking about these things makes me feel resentful. I do not know where I went wrong that led him to end things without even giving a reason, leaving us to go our separate ways, each to our own fate. This explanation that he owes me occasionally torments me, leading me to overthink. Just like Wang Dajiang and Lu Xue, many relationships do not necessarily hinge on one person being unable to live without the other; it is just that the departure is unclear and unresolved.

I suddenly realized that he, as an ABC who grew up learning American culture, would never be able to understand the Chinese style of teasing.

He looked into my eyes and said earnestly, word by word, as if making a promise: "I would be happy to help you!"

He responded to me by saying, "OK, I forgive you."

You just say that you live here, this is our house, the child has gone to the grandmother's home. Remember, do not let it slip! Be sure to remember! I will wash my face first

Because Daniel spoke of the events that occurred between him and me, while I spoke of the events that transpired between Zhu Yesheng and me—my indelible memories

Lijuan couldn't help but laugh. Light Beauty looked at Lijuan, who was laughing so hard her stomach hurt, with a puzzled expression, not knowing what was going on. Daniel's face turned as red as his neck, looking so innocent in his shyness. Just as I was at a loss for how to explain, Sister Jin changed the subject and asked me, "Douzi, your house isn't very big. The real estate market is not doing well lately, so it's a good time to buy. Have you considered purchasing another one?" Sister Jin asked me.

I nodded in agreement, my heart was already pounding fiercely

Later, this love gradually deteriorated. He no longer kept his promises, and the vows he once made turned into mere lies spoken casually. I was no longer the little girl who would nod eagerly and wait joyfully for the arrival of spring. Eventually, there came a day when we could no longer return to the past

I said: "In fact, I can also understand those enterprises, after all, the purpose of a business is to make a profit"

In the following days, I obediently returned home every evening to have dinner with him, and he also appreciated that I moved dinner from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM. I could not help but say "I am so hungry, so hungry" in front of him, and he always laughed at me

In a relationship, men should put in more effort. Daniel also takes care of Douzi in certain aspects, ensuring she doesn't get too tired early in the morning. No wonder she often complains about back pain; I don't think it's an issue that arises from sitting in the office.

He shook his head

I cannot do it anymore, I cannot do it anymore

"I have said it before, we are just ordinary friends, there is no talk of love or not. " Deceiving others has led me to deceive myself as well. I thought that if a lie is told long enough, it could become true. As long as I firmly believe that I do not love, this love would diminish until it disappears. Yet, I can clearly feel the moisture at the corners of my eyes and the lump in my throat

Daniel, bring a few pieces of your clothes and shoes and put them in my room

Sister Douzi, are you at home?" the voice of Light Beauty.

Daniel stated that in the United States, nearly half of the women bear the majority of the financial responsibilities at home, and the status of women has significantly surpassed that of the past. They hope for a relationship with their husbands that is based on mutual respect and care, rather than dependency

There is.

The longer I spend time with Daniel, the more I feel he is like a poem, becoming increasingly flavorful with each reading

He said seriously and with a sense of grievance: "I do not like others to say that I am young, especially you!"

Today's young people are completely lacking in love, wishing that all the men in the world would love them to the point of obsession! As long as they set their sights on someone, they will exert all their strength and use every means possible to seize that person. A man may be able to resist once, but it is not guaranteed he can resist every time! Li Juan gritted her teeth in anger over her ex-husband's infidelity, lamenting with a heavy heart
