Sit at the wrong table on a blind date, get married to the heir of a billionaire family

The wind in the mountains is very light, and occasionally the chirping of insects can be heard in the distance.

"Am I really useless?"

Wenwen rubbed her eyes, trying hard to suppress the surging sadness.

She tried to force a smile, but the corners of her mouth wouldn't lift. She wanted to act strong in front of Shen Tulong, but she couldn't hide the grievances in her heart.

"...A lot of people say I'm too soft and can't handle things. Even my mom says that every day. I really envy those capable women, but I'm not one of them—I don't have my own career, my earning ability is average, and I can't even take care of my own family."

Shen Tulong looked at her quietly, feeling somewhat reluctant.

After all, he heard almost the entire conversation, and the other party's viciousness formed a sharp contrast with Wen Wen's weakness.

After a long moment, he said, "Everyone plays a different role in life, so why should we be so hard on ourselves?"

Wen Wen wiped the corners of her eyes, lowered her head, picked up the beer in her hand, and drank a few gulps, pretending to be carefree.

She rarely drinks beer and almost choked, coughing several times.

"Actually... before... I thought I was quite happy... It seemed easy to be satisfied with my life. But now looking back, I realize... I was too cowardly. I had to rely on others for everything. If I could be a strong woman like Sister Gan Qi, who could take on responsibilities and make tens of thousands of dollars a month, I don't think I would live such a passive life."

She sniffed: "If it weren't for brother-in-law Meng Yan's help in this divorce, I would be in a terrible situation now."

Shen Tulong rarely comforts people, but seeing her red eyes, he softened his tone:

"Think about it from another perspective. God has arranged different life scripts for each person. Some people choose to be strong women, some are suited to taking care of the family, and some are temporarily struggling financially... There's no good or bad, no right or wrong in any of these things; it's just that everyone has different priorities in life."

He paused and continued:

"Also, don't dwell on the past. You've actually been quite successful—you've escaped a bad marriage and started a new life. How many women don't have the courage to do that?"

When Shen Tulong said this, he was thinking of his mother.

Wenwen nodded gently, holding back her sobs.

Shen Tulong: "Zheng Hongjie just called and said he lost his job. Isn't this a punishment from God? A person's true success is not about how much money he has, but whether he can live the rest of his life the way he wants."

"Um……"

Wenwen knew that this was just consolation, but she was still grateful.

"Thank you... I know I'm useless and worthless, but thank you for comforting me."

Shen Tulong sighed.

"If you must judge life by 'win or lose', it's obvious that you're winning now."

In his opinion, Zheng Hongjie failed completely. Not only did he lose his job, but his mistress also dumped him. Isn't this God's will?

Wenwen took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Yes, in the past Zheng Hongjie always suppressed her, ignored her, and blamed all the mistakes on her.

In fact, he brought his current situation upon himself.

The company fired him and Zhao Qingqing broke up with him. He deserved it!

The two sat side by side, the silvery moonlight shining on them, as gentle as a layer of gauze.

Wen Wen looked up at the starry sky and suddenly exclaimed softly:

"Wow, the stars in the mountains are really bright!"

There are very few stars to be seen in the city, and they are not this bright.

But at this moment, the night sky is like a big glowing chessboard, covering the entire top of the head, with colorful stars, it is so beautiful.

Shen Tulong didn't find it strange - he had seen this kind of scene since he was a child.

The two of them just looked up at the sky quietly.

After a while, Wenwen's voice gradually softened, and her eyes no longer had the previous grievance and confusion, and she was able to be very calm:

"Actually, I no longer have any hope for marriage. I want to live a good life alone in the future."

"Ah."

"I used to think that marrying a reliable person would allow us to rely on each other and not have to shoulder all the responsibilities ourselves. But after going through so much, I realized that relying on others is not as good as relying on myself."

"Ah."

Wen Wen took a deep breath and said firmly, "From now on, I will work hard and take good care of my children. Making more money is better than anything else!"

Shen Tulong turned his head to look at her, the moonlight fell on her face, and he could clearly see the determination in her eyes.

"You're right to think so! It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. Marriage is never a panacea for problems. Only by living a good life can you live a peaceful life."

In fact, Shen Tulong was also confused about this before.

"People around me often say that a man needs to have a successful career, get married and have children, and have someone who understands him and cares about him to be complete. But I never expected marriage. I prefer to be alone and free! This life is not lived for others, and it's good to reduce the impact of life."

Wen Wen sniffed and said softly, "Boss, I actually understand you now. I used to think 'not getting married' was weird, but now I completely understand."

"I'm glad you understand." Shen Tulong replied.

At this moment, the two of them had surprisingly similar attitudes towards love - they both had lost their obsession with marriage.

Compared to the illusory love, living the way you like and making your family live a good life is the most real thing.

The mountain wind blew gently again, and the distance between the two people gradually got closer without them noticing.

Wen Wen suddenly shivered. Shen Tulong was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he was about to get up to get some hot water, but he saw Wen Wen stood up first.

"wait for me a while."

She quickly got up, walked to the side of the car and took out a small blanket from the seat.

Shen Tulong thought she was bringing it for him and didn't take it seriously at first, but the next second, Wen Wen draped the small blanket over his shoulders.

"Ok?"

Shen Tulong frowned in surprise.

He raised his head, his eyes somewhat puzzled.

Wen Wen just smiled and said, "Cover yourself up, be careful not to catch a cold."

Shen Tulong: ...

Are you kidding me? He is a grown man of 1.9 meters, but he is being taken care of by a woman like this.

Besides - it was clearly she who was cold just now, and she was the one who should have kept warm, so why did she bring him a blanket?

Wen Wen: "You're the boss, you paid me, so of course your health is my priority! If you catch a cold, I'll be derelict in my duty."

Shen Tulong was quite helpless: "Who did you learn this rhetoric from..."

Wen Wen covered him with the colorful blanket without saying anything and reminded him again:

"Really, don't catch a cold. You are our leader."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "But don't be afraid if you really catch a cold. I carry cold medicine with me."

Wenwen is a woman who loves to worry, especially after giving birth to Lele and becoming a mother. Every time she goes out, she carries a lot of bags and has everything prepared.

----This has long become a habit when going out.

Shen Tulong was not used to being taken care of like this, especially on a mountain at night when they were alone.

He took the blanket off of him, "You're obviously weaker than me, so you should use it."

As he said that, he stood up to get his beer.

"Oh."

Wenwen responded softly.

But just as Shen Tulong stood up, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small snake from the corner of his eye, crawling out of the darkness to Wen Wen's feet.

"do not move!!!"
