Chapter 387: Wife Says Whatever She Says Is True

ened and answered truthfully.“Yes. There wasn't anything to hide, I just didn't bring it up.”Upon receiving a positive response, Xiaoxin almost jumped off the chair she was sitting on."Really That law...Lu Kuò

So it wasn't anger towards him Zhuo Yu'an instantly breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Ting Lan explain the whole situation, he said with shared animosity,

“Whatever my wife says goes, I'll break off contact with her.”

"Who is your wife"

Zuo Yu'an held her in his arms again and asked, "What do you think"

Shu Tinglan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Am I being particularly childish"

Outside, no matter how composed and collected they appear, the moment they are before Zhuo Yu'an, their true nature is revealed. They act like a child who hasn't grown up, with all their childish desires, anger, ignorance, and delusion on full display.

"Because we are family, in front of our loved ones, we can be childish forever," Zhuo Yu'an thought. In front of Tinglan, wasn't he also childish to the extreme Because of love, because of relaxation, because they were family, he was willing to open his heart and show his true self.

Shù Tīnglàn was about to be moved by his words when she suddenly heard him say harshly,

“However, Tinglan, you are being rather naive about this. At the firm, you need your performance to be stable to maintain your position. Instead of asking me for help, you go to Lu Kuo What logic is there in that”

He suddenly became serious, unable to comprehend her line of thinking.

Shu Tinglan knew how to play dumb at crucial moments. He buried his face against Li Wei's chest, rubbing back and forth. Because he hadn't taken his makeup off yet after getting home, the thin layer of foundation on his face stained Li Wei's shirt.

"Speak!" Zhu Yu'an wouldn't let it go, wanting to know the reason.

"I didn't look for Lu Kuo, he took the initiative to bring his customers to me." He got a bargain and acted like a good boy.

Zhuo Yu'an narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "So you blame me for not taking the initiative to introduce customers to you, allowing you to take them in"

As soon as he spoke, a sudden pang of guilt washed over him. He had actually steered the client to his rival, handing her over to his competitor. Guilt silenced him.

Shu Tinglan still had her hands wrapped around his waist, the two of them close together. She looked up at him, and he leaned down to kiss her lightly, letting the topic pass without further discussion.

But Shu Tinglan looked at him earnestly: "I was indeed too naive. I just wanted to see how much I could achieve on my own, without relying on you"

She had never realized before how desperately she wanted to prove herself. Later, she discovered that it was her own inferiority complex, a deep sense of inadequacy for Zhu YUAN'AN.

The two individuals, both in terms of family background and work achievements, have a world of difference.

So long ago, when he was pursuing her, she didn't believe he would truly love her; so even after they got together and even married, she was unwilling to let outsiders know, for fear of strange looks, fear of being told that she had risen from rags to riches overnight; even more afraid that he would suddenly discover that she was so ordinary and flawed that he didn't want her.

Even after going through so much, entangled and getting back together again, she believed in his love, but deep down there was still a sense of insecurity. The disparity in their status was too great, almost crushing, making her feel invisible in front of him. So, she had to work hard to prove herself capable, and also to show the children that their mother was excellent in her own field.

Her excellence is a result of her own efforts, not connections with Zhuo Yunan. That's also why she doesn't want colleagues at the law firm to know about their relationship.

But Lu Kuò is different. Even without Zhuó Yǔ'ān, she and Lu Kuò were high school classmates and even class president. This was her own resource.

Her words left Zhuo Yu'an speechless.

“Tinglan, you need to know that we are family, no distinction between us. You wanting to prove yourself and me helping you are not mutually exclusive. I'm just a business card to get you in the door. Whether the client chooses to work with you depends on your own abilities."

What he said seems to make sense, but she just doesn't want it. There's always a string in her heart that's tight, and she wants to rely on herself.

Zhuo Yu'an knew she was stubborn on some issues, and once she made up her mind, there was no point in arguing. So he teased her: "You're willing to accept Lu Kuò's resources. Do you really think he's helping you out of your high school friendship You ask him, how many names from his high school class does he even remember So, it's also because of me."

Zuo Yu'an was born with a golden key in hand. Whether he admitted it or not, he had always grown up enjoying privileges; the word "inferiority" simply wouldn't exist in his dictionary. So, he couldn't feel Ting Lan's inferiority. In his eyes, he was treating her with all his heart and soul, respecting her in front of anyone, protecting her, never looking down on her even a bit. If you really wanted to analyze it, he was the one who was humble.

Shutinglan understood that even if two people loved each other deeply, many things were impossible to truly understand because of their different backgrounds.

A mature sign is that she acknowledges this difference and accepts it.

So she spoke earnestly, "I promise you, if I need your help, I'll ask."

She always said that, what else could Zhu Yuyan say She just joked.

“You’re just too amazing, it makes me feel like all my hard work is pointless. Maybe I should retire early and you can support me from now on.”

Shu Tinglan laughed, just as she saw two children come out of the toy room. They glanced at their parents and no longer wanted to participate in the hug like they used to. Instead, they calmly went to wash their hands and sat obediently at the dining chairs, waiting for their parents to eat together. Shu Tinglan felt a dizzying sense of happiness. Those occasional feelings of inferiority were insignificant.

Shuxiaohe was very hungry and impatiently yelled, "Are you guys done hugging I'm starving!"

She and her brother had been sitting in the dining chairs for so long, their parents were still holding each other, with no eyes for her or her brother. She suddenly felt that both she and her brother were superfluous.

She even encouraged her brother to go to the capital to find their grandparents, or return to the city to play with Uncle Yi and his grandmother. Her puffed-up expression was so cute that Zhuo Yu'an let go of Shu Tinglan and began serving rice and soup to the children carefully. He did so with a satisfied heart.

After the siblings finished their bath, Zhuo Yu'an and Shu Tinglan blew hair for them one by one. Shu Xiaonian said in a manner like a little adult,

“This evening my sister and I are not going to sleep with you guys, we're going to sleep in the children's room.”

The hair dryer’s noise abruptly stopped, and the two adults looked at him in confusion as he spoke earnestly.

Shu Xiaonian continued, "Auntie said that my sister and I have grown up and need to sleep by ourselves. We can't disturb Mom and Dad's world anymore."

He said that "godmother" referred to Lin Zhixuan. Over the weekend, Lin Zhixuan gave his brother and sister a vivid sex education class, which finally let them know how they were born, and also understand the difference between boys and girls, as well as why their parents hugged each other because they loved each other. Anyway, they understood vaguely but knew that when they grew up, they couldn't sleep with their parents anymore.

Zuo Yu'an laughed after hearing that.

"The unexpected gains from a weekend getaway." That Lin Zhifei also has commendable points.

Finally, I don't have to wait until midnight to sneak into the guest room and do what I love. And I don't have to rush back to the master bedroom at dawn and pretend to be a loving parent.

Shu Tinglan was speechless. Where was the promised paternal love Gu Ruandong got out of the car first and leaned in to ask, "Can you walk on your own"It doesn't seem to hurt as much anymore."I'll give it a try."Gu Ruandong reached out a hand to help her up, still...
