But now, Gu Ya had changed. She knew how to dress up, and her aura had become mysterious. He also started to feel that he had found the feeling when they first started dating.
He also started to feel that he really wanted to marry this woman and be with her for the rest of his life.
However, just like what his mother said, if a woman was spoiled, they would not have a good life in the future.
No matter how much he liked Jiujiu, he could not continue to give in to her like this.
Otherwise, he would be the weaker party when they got together in the future.
Li Chen looked at Jiujiu, who was washing the dishes, and said, "Gu Ya, do you have time later? Let's talk. "
Li Chen's tone was very cold because he wanted to intimidate Jiujiu.
After Jiujiu cleaned the dishes with a clean cloth, she said to Li Chen, "I've just been promoted, and I've been working with the general manager recently. I have a lot of work on hand, so I'm afraid I don't have time. If you really want to talk to me, wait until the weekend."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the study.
When he heard Jiujiu say that she had been promoted, Li Chen's first reaction was to congratulate her.
However, when he was about to say it, he remembered that he was there to intimidate her and not to congratulate her. He immediately swallowed his words.
After Jiujiu went to the study, she started to work on the side. Li Chen sat in the living room for a long time. When he could not wait for Jiujiu, he went back to the house to rest.
As for Jiujiu, after finishing her work, she slept in the study.
The next morning, Jiujiu went to work early in the morning. When Li Chen woke up, Jiujiu was no longer in the house.
In the past, Gu Ya always put him first. Every morning, no matter how busy she was, she would prepare breakfast. If there was no time, she would go downstairs to buy breakfast and put it on the table.
However, now, not to mention breakfast, he could not even catch a glimpse of her shadow.
In the past, he was used to enjoying Gu Ya's benefits. Now, they were all gone. Li Chen suddenly felt empty in his heart and started to miss the old Gu Ya.
It was a pity that time had passed and the Gu Ya who had always prioritized him would never return.
Jiujiu didn't want to understand Li Chen's complicated psychological activities at all. After she took over Li Xue's job, she was so busy every day.
Moreover, because of her strong ability, the general manager already had the intention of recommending her to the headquarters.
Man strives for higher ground, while water flows to lower ground.
Jiujiu naturally didn't want to stay in this small company. It would be great if she could go to the headquarters.
Of course, she also knew that the company Li Chen wanted to work for the most was their headquarters.
If she went and Li Chen couldn't, then it would be fun.
Because of the general manager's promise, Jiujiu worked harder.
By the end of the month, the general manager had basically confirmed that he would recommend Jiujiu to the headquarters next March.
After receiving a confirmation, Jiujiu continued to work on her work.
On the other hand, because Jiujiu was so busy during this period of time, Li Chen hadn't spoken to Jiujiu for almost half a month.
Therefore, on this weekend, when Li Chen saw that Jiujiu didn't work overtime, he immediately sat opposite Jiujiu. He looked at Jiujiu and said, "Xiaoya, your workload has been a little heavy recently."
Jiujiu's workload during this period of time wasn't just heavy. It was equivalent to two people's workload.
Not to mention the general manager, even the colleagues who had objections when they found out that the general manager had recommended her to the headquarters instantly fell silent when they found out about her workload.
They wanted to go to the headquarters, but if the prerequisite for going to the headquarters was that one person had to do two people's work, then forget it.
After all, they were humans, not machines. If this continued, they didn't know if they would go to the headquarters or not, but they would definitely go to the hospital.
Hearing Li Chen's words, Jiujiu smiled gently. "Yes, the general manager said that the company has a quota to go to the headquarters. I've been fighting for this quota recently, so my workload is quite heavy."
Li Chen had been looking forward to going to the headquarters of Jiujiu's company for a long time.
He had submitted his resume, but the company didn't want him.
Now that he heard Jiujiu say this, he felt a little envious and a little uncomfortable. However, he still pretended to be concerned and asked, "How are things now?"
Jiujiu smiled. "The general manager saw that I've been working hard recently, so he gave me the quota. He said that he would recommend me to the headquarters next March."
Jiujiu rested her chin on her hands and smiled brightly. "I'm going to the headquarters soon. Are you happy?"
Li Chen replied, "Yes."
Nonsense.
He couldn't go to the place he wanted to go, but his girlfriend went there. How could he be happy?
Moreover, he thought about what his mother had said on the phone.
Once a woman's heart was wild, it would be difficult to trap her in the future.
Even in school, Jiujiu could meet many men who were more outstanding than him. If she went to the headquarters, she would definitely meet more outstanding people than in school.
When that time came, she wouldn't be interested in him anymore.
Thinking about this, Li Chen's heart couldn't help but tighten. Thinking about his mother's suggestion, his eyes darkened and he had an idea.
Li Chen looked at Jiujiu and asked, "Xiaoya, we've been together for more than five years. I think it's time to talk about marriage. What do you think?"
Jiujiu took a sip of the hot cocoa and looked at Li Chen. "I'm currently in the midst of my career promotion. It's a little early to get married now."
"I heard from my mother that the earlier a woman gives birth, the faster her body recovers. I think this makes sense. Why don't we go home to meet my parents during the New Year, get married next year, and give birth in the Year of the Monkey? Then, you can focus on your work. What do you think?"
Li Chen's words sounded quite reasonable. But in reality.
Not to mention giving birth, just getting married was already very troublesome. So …
If she got married and got pregnant within a year, Jiujiu's career next year would basically be ruined.
Moreover, after giving birth, she would basically be crippled within half a year. By the time she returned to the workplace, her position would have basically been replaced by a new person.
By then, she would be relegated to a very useless position and do some useless work. Then, she would spend the rest of her life in mediocrity.
Li Chen's "my mother said" basically ruined Jiujiu's future.
Jiujiu picked up the cup and took a sip of the hot cocoa. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can get married, but I'm not thinking about having children for the time being. Moreover, I'm not very happy about spending several years raising a child who I don't know what the future will be like. I kind of miss DINK."
"DINK?"
Li Chen's eyes widened instantly. He looked at Jiujiu with a shocked expression. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Are you crazy? How can you not have children? "
Jiujiu looked at Li Chen quietly. "Why must I have children?
What era is it now? There are so many ways to realize my self-worth. Why must I choose to have children? "
