Chapter 413 - Ideal Relationsh.i.p.s
How would you define a perfect and strong relationship? What makes a marriage successful? What makes you a perfect match for each other? What makes your relationship ideal?
Having no argunts?
No disagreents?
Never fighting?
The answer is NO! Big fat no!
Argunts, disagreents, fights are all part of a relationship. Especially a marriage. Never take pride in the fact that you had never had any disagreents. But the real point of all this is to see whether your relationship is strong enough to face the changing tides of ti. Can you move with the world and ti or you’re stuck right where you began?
If you think that just because you are together and had never had any argunts with your partner, you’re in a healthy relationship. Perhaps, your relationship is the weakest one since it hasn’t learned to ride on the tides of troubles, disagreents, and disappointnts.
But Xu y failed to understand this point. She was so stuck on the fact that Jie raised his voice at her and blad her for the problems in their family that she didn’t want to look past it and focus on the crux of Jie’s outburst.
Technically, he wasn’t even blaming her. He was just trying to give her a wake-up call which she very much needed. But even now, she failed to understand that. She failed to understand that the only reason they had been able to live together for 8 years wasn’t that they were perfect together. It was because Jie would always bow down before her for the sole reason that he didn’t want pride and ego to co between them.
Xu y had been self-dependent for years now. She was so accustod to it that she never bothered sharing her worries with Jie. He was okay with it but he was not okay to know that she was not willing to see that sothing bothered him as well. He also had his own troubles.
Even now...
Instead of choosing to follow him and trying to sort out everything, she chose to turn her back and run from these problems. Running away had always been super easy for everyone in life. But it takes real courage to face the pain and to confront the problems head-on. But that’s what makes you strong. That’s what shows how mature you are.
"Xiao y, why are you here?" Xu Cheng was really surprised to see her as she ca back with Xiamu and Azalea. He had not been able to attend the party because he had sprained his ankle a few days ago. So, he couldn’t even walk.
"Dad..." Xu y called out softly and ca to sit beside him. She placed her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
"What’s wrong? Are you okay?" Xu Cheng inquired while he stroked her hair and looked at his son inquisitively. Xiamu shrugged his shoulders showing that he had no idea what was wrong with her.
In fact, Xiamu really had no idea why his sister was acting like this. After seeing everyone off, she just ca to him and said, she was coming with him. He couldn’t possibly stop her from visiting ho, so he didn’t ask either.
"Nothing’s wrong, dad. I just wanted to see you," said Xu y in a soft voice. "Also, you haven’t been well these days. So, I decided to co and check up on your health. Besides, it’s been days since I haven’t seen you. I missed you."
Xu Cheng smiled affectionately as he heard her reason. He was glad to know that she ca for him but he was also feeling a bit weird. There was a doubt in his heart that she was hiding sothing. But he didn’t want to probe at this mont.
"You should have brought my grandkids with you. I miss them so much and it’s been a while I saw those two."
Xu y’s lips pressed into a hard line as she rembered what Jie said to her. His words kept ringing in her mind. It was like a curse, she couldn’t get rid of.
"You get well soon then you can play with your grandkids all you want," she answered trying to sound normal. "Now, tell , have you eaten anything?"
"Yes, I had my dinner already."
"What about your dicine?" she continued.
"I was just about to take it," he sounded like a kid who was guilty of doing sothing wrong since Xu y was squinting her eyes at him.
"Dad, how can you be so careless? It’s almost midnight and you still haven’t taken your dicine? If you kept being this negligent with your health, how are you gonna get better? Is this why you didn’t want to stay in the hospital? You really don’t take care of yourself." She kept chiding him as she brought his dicine and stood beside him with her hands on her h.i.p.s to make sure that he took his dicine.
"Sotis I’m really not sure whether I’m your father or you’re my mother." Xu Cheng shook his head at her.
"I’m gonna change my clothes now, but by the ti I co back, you better put down these doc.u.nts." She warned before rushing towards the stairs.
Seeing her receding figure, Xu Cheng turned to his son again, "Did sothing happen at the party?"
"Nothing happened, dad," Xiamu answered honestly. Nothing really happened at the party at least in his opinion everything was fine.
"Then why is she here?" Xu Cheng wondered out loud looking concerned.
"I think you’re overthinking, dad. Sis is just here to see you. Why do you have to think so much about it?"
Xu Cheng smiled at his son, "Now, you’re gonna be a father. Soon you’ll know why I’m worrying so much."
"Are you trying to scare , dad?"
Xu Cheng shook his head at his son. "Absolutely not. I’m just warning you. There is an African proverb, ’It takes a village to raise a child.’ In other words, it’s not an easy job." He sighed out gloomily. "I have done a very poor job at parenting. I don’t want you to be the sa."
"And what about Sis? Why do I never hear you advising her?" Xiamu complained softly.
"It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that your sister thinks since I have never been a perfect father, I don’t deserve to teach her anything about parenting."
