Chapter 704: Gather Where It’s Lively
Chapter 704: Chapter 704: Gather Where It’s Lively
"I can’t make promises on behalf of Jingting, but I can assure you that I will live a good life in the future."
"Men are not always reliable, what makes you think your good intentions are enough?"
"But besides Jingting, I have my academic and future career. I have two lovely children, and the best parents in the world. Why can’t I live a good life? If one day I can’t continue to be with Jingting, I would be very sad, but my world would not collapse. I have other things in my life to keep me moving forward."
This was a new viewpoint for Lijun and it greatly intrigued her.
"Being Yu Jingting’s wife is just one of my identities. I love Jingting deeply, but he is not everything in my life. Besides him, I also love you, my father, our children, my career, and everything else worthy of love. I am an independent individual and I don’t need others to be responsible for my happiness. I can be responsible for myself."
"Fundamentally, Jingting and I are the same. He loves me deeply, he loves our children, his career, his parents, and his sister. Even though we are the most important to each other, we both have our own worlds. What I love about him is his passion for life.
If I keep him tied to myself and clip his wings, he won’t be the person I love. Similarly, if he wants me to be a conventional housewife like my grandmother, curbing my ambition, I won’t be the woman he loves."
"I will grow together with him. However high he soars, I aim to soar just as high. Even if we should encounter problems in our marriage, by then I will have my own capabilities, and I will have more options. I won’t be left in a dead-end."
"For instance, my grandmother didn’t lack resentment towards my grandfather, she just couldn’t afford to leave him. While married, she was a respected professor’s wife, but if she chose divorce, she would be nothing more than any other ordinary old lady. Look at my grandmother’s two sisters, they live carefreely even without their partners."
"They could have been somebody else’s wives, but they were also known as Professor Hao who taught music, and Specialist Hao who repaired cultural relics. Being a wife is only one of a woman’s identities, it shouldn’t define her entirety. We have our own names, and we should also have our own careers."
"My pursuit in life is that when others introduce me as Yu Jingting’s wife, they will also introduce Jingting as my husband."
Only when you have an equal social status will people introduce you this way. Otherwise, you’ll always be someone’s daughter-in-law.
I will raise my daughter with this same philosophy in mind.
First become an independent individual, then become someone’s wife."
"You..." Lijun was silent for a long while. She wasn’t the kind of person who was easily persuaded, but Suizi’s words today had really moved her."
"Live well and let me see it." Lijun said, patting Suizi’s face with tear-filled eyes.
Suizi responded with a big smile, um, certainly.
Fan Huang and Yu Jingting were standing not too far away. Suizi had her back to them, but they could hear her words.
Fan Huang looked at Jingting with envy. His son-in-law had good taste in women. Of course, he was also proud of himself for raising such an outstanding child.
Fan Huang said to Jingting with a smile,
"I thought we’d have to rely on the bet your mom and I made to keep this kid. Now it seems, your wife alone is more than enough."
"It’s your superior genes, dad, that made me fortunate enough to marry such a good wife."
The two men praised each other, their friendship deepening.
Hearing familiar voices, the mother-daughter duo turned around and saw their respective men.
"Dad, congratulations on being a father again, you really don’t have to give me too much in red envelopes——"
Suizi held out her hand.
Lijun lightly slapped her palm,
"If red envelopes need to be given, it should be you giving them to me. Who hears congratulations and expects a red envelope?"
"I just remembered that we’re really busy, we should get going. Dad, I’m entrusting this big baby to you, I’m off."
As soon as Suizi heard that she had to give money, she immediately conceded.
She wasn’t a wealthy woman now. Even if she wanted to give a simple gift, she would have to wait until her younger siblings were born.
"You’re so talkative." Jingting lowered his head and kissed her, just as Lijun turned her head back to look.
"Both of you should behave in public!"
"This is entirely his doing, you should scold him. I am innocent." Suizi shamelessly pushed her man out.
Fan Huang led Lijun inside to speak with the doctor. There were some things he wanted to confirm in person.
"Does my father seem very calm? I was actually looking forward to seeing him overjoyed." Suizi looked at her father, who was seemingly calmly leading Lijun into the hospital, and felt a little disappointed.
Sometimes she felt that her dad was like a robot. His emotional control was too strong, his joy and anger were not evident, and it was very difficult for him to have a significant emotional reaction.
"What if I told you, he bumped into two glass doors in the hotel and even slipped down the steps on the way out, would it make you feel better?"
"Hmm? Please do elaborate," Suizi became more attentive.
Discussing the elders’ gossip, was always immensely enjoyable.
After Chen Lijun and Suizi left, Fan Huang couldn’t get away as he was entangled by the elders while Yu Jingting stayed by his side.
Jingting saw that his father-in-law was dealing with everything as usual, chatting and laughing cordially with everyone, with no significant change in his facial expression. He almost thought that his father-in-law wasn’t very happy.
Fan Huang’s emotional management was just too on point, he was too good at putting on a facade.
He was thrilled, yet a bit nervous. He was worried that Lijun didn’t want to be pregnant, and also worried about her physical condition. He concealed these emotions so well, but his movements gave him away when he walked.
The hotel had transparent glass doors that were so clean they seemed like they weren’t even there. For safety, there were warnings posted right on them.
Yet, normally astute Fan Huang managed to miss the warning and walked right into the door. The impact made a loud noise.
"Maybe intelligent people have hard heads? The sound was quite crisp when I heard it," Yu Jingting recalled the scene. As inappropriate as it might have been, he really wanted to laugh.
"After bumping into it once, how could he bump into it a second time?"
"After he bumped into it, I immediately asked if he was alright. He rubbed his head and said it was fine. Then someone called him and they chatted for a bit. When they finished, your dad bumped into it again."
Suizi covered her mouth, hearing this made her wince. No wonder her dad’s forehead was red.
"Would anyone believe that he wasn’t extremely happy inside after hearing this? After bumping into the door twice, and then slipping down the steps on his way out. Luckily, there were only two steps and he didn’t get badly hurt."
"It’s a pity that no one recorded it, this scene, I really wanted to see."
’The mountain crumbles but the face remains unchanged,’ this saying perfectly described her father.
But the news of her mother’s pregnancy, was probably more shocking than a collapsing mountain. After all, the mountain belongs to the country, but her mother...was a big baby?
Suizi and Yu Jingting sit in the car waiting, happily gossiping.
Suddenly, Jingting’s eyes lit up.
"Look!"
Suizi followed his gaze and saw a car approach. Lijun led Ge Mingyue out of the car.
