Quick Wear: Reversing Life

At eight o'clock in the evening, Cheng Yu came home from get off work and did not see Liu Xinyan in the living room.

In the past, at this time, she would sit on the sofa, watch variety shows, eat some fruit or drink some wine.

Hearing the noise, Aunt Chen came out of the kitchen and saw that it was Cheng Yu.

"Sir, my wife ordered some soup for you this morning. It's already heated up. Would you like some?"

Cheng Yu frowned slightly.

"Did your wife order you this morning?"

"Yes."

Cheng Yu felt his temples throbbing, as if he knew the real reason why Liu Xinyan didn't reply to the message.

Thinking that the briefcase contained the high-end bracelet that Zhang Xian had bought urgently, the situation suddenly became even more difficult.

My wife nowadays is not the type to be fooled as she was when we first got married.

Going up to the bedroom on the third floor, Liu Xinyan was taking a shower in the bathroom.

Cheng Yu took off his suit jacket, took out the bracelet gift box from his briefcase, and placed it on Liu Xinyan's dressing table.

He saw Liu Xinyan's cell phone on the bedside table.

While waiting for his wife to take a shower, he never felt the wait was so long.

I have never felt waiting so tense, not even when I took over the position of chairman after my father's death.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

When Liu Xinyan came out of the shower, she saw this man sitting on the bed.

He was still laughing, it seemed he didn't take it seriously.

Although there was no need to make a big deal about this matter, she was just playing the role of a wife and did not really love him.

But for the mission, this is a good starting point.

Liu Xinyan wrapped herself in a bath towel and sat down in front of the dressing table with an expressionless face.

She saw a dark green box on the table.

He even bought gifts to apologize, which seems to indicate that he feels guilty.

Performed better.

"If you knew it a long time ago, why didn't you ask?"

Cheng Yu said helplessly: "What happened at noon is not what you think..."

Liu Xinyan interrupted his explanation with a cold face: "What am I thinking?"

"...We were just talking about things."

"Cheng Yu." Liu Xinyan interrupted him again, "Have you never taken me seriously?"

The woman's pretty face was expressionless, and her tone was cold. Cheng Yu had never seen his wife look so distant and distant.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu frowned immediately.

"I have no objection whether you say it or not. Our union is just a marriage anyway."

Liu Xinyan had a cold expression on her face, and she didn't even bother to open the apology box.

"I just want you to let me know before you do something. I don't want to lose face in front of your secretary."

"Xinyan——" Cheng Yu pressed his eyebrows.

Liu Xinyan said indifferently: "If you want to rekindle our past relationship, that's fine. I only have one request: a divorce."

"Xin Yan!"

Cheng Yu looked at Liu Xinyan in shock, and saw that she had a cold expression, and her eyes and tone did not sound angry.

Liu Xinyan was really calm, and her tone sounded like she was negotiating.

"Cheng Hao is yours, and the division of property can be done through legal procedures. Oh, and this house is mine. I'm used to living here and don't want to move."

Cheng Yu's heart seemed to skip a beat, and his temples were throbbing.

Wasn't he just about to explain? How did it come to this, divorce?

Cheng Yu's face looked very bad, his eyebrows were lowered, the darker the eyes were than usual, and his tone was heavier than before: "Xinyan, do you know what you are saying?"

Liu Xinyan tilted her head slightly, opened the face cream on the table, picked up a little in the palm of her hand, rubbed it to warm it up, and then pressed it on her face.

It's her usual skin care routine.

"Take back your divorce talk. I'll pretend I didn't hear it tonight."

He loosened his tie, pulled it from around his neck and threw it aside.

Liu Xinyan didn't even bother to glance at him. She said slowly while moving her hands, "Why should I take it back? I'm telling you seriously."

Cheng Yu walked up to her in two steps, grabbed her wrist and pulled her to face him. His expression was no longer as calm and helpless as before, and the veins on the back of his hand that was holding her wrist were bulging.

Did he finally feel that this was no small matter?

Liu Xinyan found it ironic.

The original owner had been married to him for so many years, until she died, and she had never seen him lose his composure like this.

Cheng Yu was irritated by the sarcasm in her eyes.

Why didn't he realize before that his wife had another side like a hedgehog, and that she could be so aggressive when she pricked people.

"Is this the solution you came up with after spending an afternoon not replying to messages or answering calls?"

"Chang Ling and I have nothing and have done nothing."

Liu Xinyan pulled her hand but it didn't move. She was once again fed up with the feeling of being suppressed.

"You don't want a divorce? That's fine too." Liu Xinyan said calmly, without even raising her eyelids, "You can have fun however you want. Just don't let your parents or the media know."

Cheng Yu was so angry that she laughed. It seemed that she didn't hear a word he said.

"You are really generous."

This sentence somehow angered Liu Xinyan. She shook her hand to break free from the restraint, pushed the other person hard, and yelled at Cheng Yu like crazy.

"Yes! I'm generous! During these years of marriage, I never minded what happened between you and Chang Ling! It doesn't matter whether you want to leave or not. If you want to bring her back here, that's fine! If you two want to sleep on this bed, I'll give up my seat immediately!"

"But! Don't regret later that I didn't make room for her as your wife, Cheng Yu! And don't do something as disgusting as marrying Chang Xin'er to Cheng Hao as a way for you two to make up for your regrets!"

Liu Xinyan really enjoyed her performance, immersed herself in the role, and even brought in the original owner's anger.

She swung her arm and threw the box on the table to the foot of the bed: "The thing you used to apologize was the brand that Chang Ling liked. Cheng Yu, you really know how to disgust people."

Cheng Yu was shocked, and the anger brewing in his heart was cooled down by the water poured by Liu Xinyan.

She actually said he was disgusting?

He never thought that his wife lying next to him had always had such thoughts about him.

How on earth did she come up with the idea of ​​marrying Chang Xiner to Cheng Hao?

But that box on the ground.

Cheng Yuzhen had no way to explain it. This was bought by Zhang Xian, and he didn't know it was the brand Chang Ling liked.

He doesn't like Chang Ling at all!

"Xinyan, have you misunderstood something--" Cheng Yu was holding his breath, but he had no way to vent it at the moment. He patiently held Liu Xinyan's hand and explained.

"Are you trying to say that Zhang Xian bought this? Cheng Yu, is this your attitude towards reconciliation?"

Liu Xinyan tilted her head and chuckled.

Men’s thinking is really strange. They always think that giving some beautifully packaged candies and saying a few soft words can solve the other person’s emotional problems.

Did he think he was coaxing a child?

Can buying some gifts stop your wife from nagging?

Originally, Liu Xinyan decided to go along with it after getting Cheng Yu's promise, but she suddenly didn't want to let this negligent husband go so easily.

"Every time there's a conflict, have your assistant run errands and buy you some gifts."

"Every time I have an outing, it's my assistant who tells me about it. If I want to know anything about you, I have to ask your assistant!"

"Did I marry an assistant? Why not just let the assistant take your place and let Cheng Hao call him dad—"

Cheng Yu felt the lump in his chest getting even bigger.

He took a deep breath and decided to solve each problem one by one. It was always right to apologize first.

"sorry."

"Xinyan, I'm sorry, this is my fault."

"Chang Ling came to me to talk about her husband's family. It's not an important matter, so I didn't tell you."

"I don't have any romantic feelings for her. Maybe I did when I was in school, but that was over 20 years ago. Ever since I married you, I haven't had any contact with her, let alone any feelings for her."

"It's been so long now, and my focus has been on work. I know I owe you a lot over the years, so I don't want them to bother you with such insignificant things."

"It's true that Zhang Xian bought the bracelet in that box, but that doesn't mean I don't care about it."

"He interacts more with young people and has better taste than I do. It was also his idea to customize the necklace for you last time. I saw that you liked it very much, so I asked him to buy it for you as an apology gift this time."

Liu Xinyan: ...

She really didn't realize that the necklace was custom-made.

Cheng Yu observed her expression and explained carefully, "You misunderstood me too deeply. I really never wanted to marry Chang Ling, let alone what you said... let Cheng Hao marry Chang Xin'er."

He still couldn't figure out what was going on in his wife's head and how she could have such a ridiculous idea.

"Xinyan, it's you I like."

"I promise you that I will report everything to you immediately."

"You don't need to ask Zhang Xian about my affairs. I'll tell you everything as long as you ask me."

"I will not divorce you, and I will not have anything to do with the Chang family anymore."

"So, no matter how angry you are in the future, don't mention divorce. Okay."

Cheng Yu took Liu Xinyan's hand and rubbed the back of her hand soothingly with his thumb.

Liu Xinyan was satisfied with the promise.

In order to consolidate the results, she decided to add some more explosive news.

Cheng Yu kept his eyes on Liu Xinyan. Seeing that her face was calm, she seemed to have listened to him. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

But I saw two lines of clear tears condensing from her beautiful eyes into small beads and falling on her cheeks.

"But Cheng Yu, I've liked you since high school."

She spoke slowly, without sobbing, but tears continued to fall from her red eyes.

"I know you like Chang Ling, so I try to learn from her and imitate her."

"I dress like her and imitate her behavior."

"I know I'm not as smart as her, nor as graceful as her."

"I don't mean to replace her. I just—I hope you like me as much as you like her. Even if it's just a little bit."

Cheng Yu's heart seemed to be violently twitched. From the moment he saw Liu Xinyan crying, he felt like a drowning man and his breathing stopped.

But in the past, he knew that Liu Xinyan was learning from Chang Ling intentionally or unintentionally, and after marriage she was also conscientiously doing her duty as a good wife and mother.

But he didn't know that his wife had liked him since high school, and had liked him for many years.

Cheng Yu held Liu Xinyan in his arms, wiping away the tears from her face and kissing her cheeks and forehead.

"I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Liu Xinyan lowered her eyelashes and said calmly: "...I don't want you to have any regrets, and I don't want you to regret marrying me."

"So even if we get divorced, even if you marry Chang Ling, I won't blame you, really."

"Cheng Yu, I don't want you to have any regrets in your life."

Cheng Yu tightened his arms around her, as if he wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.

"No, no. No regrets."

Even if there had been such a one-in-a-million moment, at this moment he was extremely firm in his choice.

"I love you, Xinyan."

"I only love you."

...

Liu Xinyan fell asleep in Cheng Yu's arms.

I fell asleep with satisfaction looking at the 90% like value and 70% task progress displayed by the system.

Training a man is like training a dog, give him a slap and then a sweet date.

It is always successful to make a fuss first and then reveal your true feelings.

Cheng Yu held her tightly throughout the entire night.

Liu Xinyan slept soundly, but Cheng Yu couldn't sleep.

Kissing tear-stained lips tasted bitter. His thoughts were in a mess, his hands unconsciously stroking her hair, and he pressed against her body, smelling the fragrance of her hair.

Before this, he always thought that the relationship between the two of them was going smoothly, or at least they treated each other with respect.

Fortunately, we talked it out tonight, so it wasn't all in vain.

The next morning, Cheng Yu, who hadn't taken a shower all night, couldn't stand it anymore and got up early to take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, Liu Xinyan was still suffocating in the quilt, her cheeks and lips were red from the smoke.

Cheng Yu originally just wanted to take the phone from the bedside table, but he couldn't help but bend down and kiss the corner of her lips.

He picked up the jewelry box that was thrown at the foot of the bed last night, opened it and looked at it, then threw it into the trash can.

It’s better not to stay, otherwise my wife will bring up the past later.

On the way to the company after breakfast, Zhang Xian reported while secretly observing the boss's expression. He found that Cheng Yu was in a good mood, probably because the problem was solved last night, so he felt relieved.

Cheng Yu swiped the screen in his hand and suddenly said, "You don't have to choose her gifts from now on."

Zhang Xian's heart skipped a beat.

Is it that Madam doesn't like it? Or...

"I choose it myself."
