Love was pure and unstained. The path her mother had walked seemed to have put heavy shackles on her. She had a bad premonition, as if she would repeat the same mistake and wait foolishly for a hopeless result like her mother.
Tears wet her eyes. Cheng Qingqing lowered her head and the tears fell.
"No, I don't want to walk such a path. I don't want to." She muttered to herself. She wanted to have an ordinary and real married life like all women. She didn't want to live like a shameful person and struggle in the shadows for half her life.
Jiang Rouyue shook her red wine glass and stood on the top floor of a high-rise building. The life she was enjoying now was what all women dreamed of. Money and power were no longer a concern, but the fullness of her characteristics made her spiritual world even more empty.
Li Jie came out of the shower and looked at her back. He walked over and hugged her lovingly. "Rouyue, I'll get the doctor to prescribe some medicine tomorrow. We still have to have a child."
Jiang Rouyue's back stiffened. She didn't turn around to look at that old face. She continued to stare out the window. She and Li Jie had been married for many years and had no children. In fact, Li Jie had always thought that it was his problem, but in fact, it was Jiang Rouyue who didn't want to have children at all.
"Old Li, don't force yourself too much. Your health is more important. Let's talk about the child later." Jiang Rouyue finished her wine and turned around to say to Li Jie with concern in her eyes.
"But I really want to have our child. If it's a boy, the company will have an heir. How great would that be?" The older Li Jie was, the more he longed for an heir. Although he had a daughter, she was not his ideal candidate.
Jiang Rouyue naturally hoped that she could have a son so that her position would be stable. However, when she thought that her son's father was not Li Qingyan, she suddenly felt disgusted. She did not want to give birth to Li Jie's child. This way, it would really be impossible for her and Li Qingyan to be together in the future.
"You're thinking too much. That's why your health is getting worse and worse. If you don't have a son, don't you still have a daughter? I'll stay by your side and take good care of her in the future." Jiang Rouyue quickly comforted him, pretending to be magnanimous.
Li Jie looked at her and smiled gently. Then he nodded. "Well, with you by my side, my life is not in vain. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."
Jiang Rouyue closed her eyes. To be honest, she didn't want to share a bed with Li Jie anymore. Li Jie was old, and there was always a smell of medicine on his body. It was very pungent. Jiang Rouyue would always wake up in the middle of the night and lose sleep. As for physical contact, Jiang Rouyue was even more disgusted, but she couldn't show it. She still pretended to be happy and catered to it.
"Yes." Jiang Rouyue nodded. After lying down, she said, "Old Li, I have a friend's birthday in a few days. I have to go abroad. When I come back, I'll buy you a gift."
"Really? Do you want me to go with you? "Li Jie asked curiously.
"There's no need. They're all women. If you go with them, they'll talk about me." Jiang Rouyue immediately said coquettishly.
"Alright, have fun. Have fun." Li Jie didn't doubt her and only doted on her gently.
Jiang Rouyue heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't go abroad to attend her friend's birthday party. She only heard that the school was going to hold a class celebration. Li Qingyan was a guest on the list. She wanted to secretly go over because she was also a graduate of that school. If she could meet him by chance, she definitely wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
In fact, she was very willing to have a child. However, she didn't want to have Li Jie's child. She wanted to have Li Qingyan's child. Even if she had to take a great risk in the end, she wasn't afraid. If there was a chance to create such an opportunity when she went abroad this time, she was really willing.
Li Qingyan received an invitation to the school celebration because he had a respected mentor teaching. This invitation was so sincere that he couldn't refuse.
He decided to go, but he didn't know if that woman would go with him.
When he returned home at night, Li Qingyan looked at the empty bedroom. She had a scene to shoot at night, so she wouldn't be back until at least midnight.
The man sat on the sofa and tapped his fingers a few times, but the depression in his heart still couldn't be relieved.
He was used to the feeling of having her at home. If she wasn't here, he felt that this home was even colder.
Li Qingyan glanced at the time. It was only seven o 'clock. He got up and told Uncle Gu, "I won't be having dinner at home."
Uncle Gu looked at the dinner that was almost ready and asked in surprise, "then I'll make another one later."
"No need. Go to bed early after eating. Don't wait for us." After Li Qingyan finished speaking, he took the car key and went out.
Uncle Gu looked at the man's hurried figure and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing with a smile.
Ever since Miss Cheng moved in, Mr. Li had changed. In the past, he had enjoyed the peace of returning home. Now that Miss Cheng wasn't at home, he didn't want to stay at home.
Li Qingyan drove the car and wandered aimlessly on the street. A lyrical ballad with strong feelings was playing in the car. It was about a man who fell in love with a woman, and the woman was going to a distant place. The man's heart was very flustered. Every line of those lyrics beat on Li Qingyan's heart, as if he had become the male lead in the ballad.
He was even more upset. He turned the steering wheel directly and drove towards the theater where Cheng Qingqing was acting. When he arrived at the door of the film and TV play, his car was stopped. He was not angry. He just put the car beside him. After opening half of the window, he silently lit a cigarette for himself.
The smoke spread out, outlining the mature and cold face of the man. His eyes looked at the door, and his heart gradually calmed down.
As long as he was closer to her, closer, the sense of security he sought in his heart seemed to come back.
Li Qingyan felt that he was a little cheap. He wanted to get that woman's gentle smile and response.
How did it become like this?
Think about how proud I used to be. I don't care about love. I feel that it's a waste of time and energy. But now, what is he doing?
Wasting time sitting in the car, I dare not call her, for fear of disturbing her work, silently guarding, waiting, but my mood is very calm, even a little satisfied.
Love was truly a terrifying storm. Once it swept over, it would cause a person's inner world to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Time went by little by little. Soon, it was early in the morning. Li Qingyan looked at the cigarette butt that he had smoked out. Suddenly, he felt that such behavior was very bad. He was not a man who would indulge in cigarettes and alcohol. He had strong restraint, but in the waiting time, his self-control also became weak. He looked down at his wristwatch. There was only half an hour left before Cheng Qingqing finished shooting. Li Qingyan had more expectations in his heart.
