Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

In front of the bar, Qin Shi was holding his mobile phone. The word "wife" on the screen suddenly caught his eye. His hand trembled slightly uncontrollably, and he subconsciously looked upstairs with a guilty conscience.

Ever since he discovered that Lan Tian was Yan Lan, he had been pretending to be her grandfather to chat with her.

At first, he wanted to take this opportunity to test out the other side of Yan Lan hidden beneath the surface.

In Qin Shi's heart, there was always a hint of doubt towards Yan Lan.

He always felt that Yan Lan was not as simple and pure as she appeared on the surface. It seemed that there was an invisible veil hiding her true appearance.

However, as the conversation progressed, he did not find anything suspicious about Yan Lan.

On the contrary, Yan Lan was understanding and considerate during the chat.

Whether it is the astronomy and geography of the vast universe or the complex and ever-changing economic management of today, although she cannot be said to be proficient in them, she knows a thing or two and can talk about them eloquently.

Sometimes, when the two of them were chatting excitedly, Qin Shi would feel a little envious and jealous, and the object was none other than his own grandfather.

In real life, when Yan Lan interacted with him, she always had a lukewarm and distant feeling. It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier between the two of them, making it difficult for them to really get close.

But when chatting with her "grandfather", she seemed like a different person, sometimes acting like a sweet and adorable granddaughter, constantly making witty remarks.

Sometimes she is like a close friend, sharing her insights into life; other times, she is like a filial junior, her words full of concern and respect.

Thinking of this, Qin Shi scratched his hair in annoyance, feeling helpless.

Messages kept popping up on the phone screen.

Time: Don’t mention it.

Lan Tian: There is something I don’t know whether I should ask.

Time: Ask.

Lan Tian: Are you and your wife having problems?

Shi Guang: Our relationship is indeed not very good.

Lan Tian: Why? Could it be that you weren’t together because of love?

Time: I don’t believe in love.

Yan Lan looked at the conversation on the phone screen and couldn't help but feel sympathy. She realized that her question just now might have been a bit abrupt.

In the era when the old man lived, most marriages were arranged, and the man and woman might not even have met before marriage, let alone get married out of love.

In that era, it seemed that the cultivation of feelings could only be achieved slowly over the long years after marriage. The old man and his wife may have experienced many unknown setbacks, which led to the result of their current separation.

Qin Shi's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the marriage of his grandparents.

Those scenes he had seen in his childhood were slowly playing in his mind like an old movie.

My grandfather was particularly concerned about his family and was extremely accommodating to my grandmother.

No matter what request grandma made, no matter how unreasonable it was, grandpa would agree with a smile. No matter the big or small matters at home, grandpa always put grandma's preferences first.

But even so, grandma's heart seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of ice. Over the years, she remained indifferent to grandpa and her attitude did not soften at all.

In this family, marriage seems to have become a bond of interests.

This is the case for the older generation of grandparents, so isn’t it the same for our own parents?

My parents’ union seems to be based on love, but is it really so?

On the surface, my parents maintain a decent relationship as husband and wife, but behind this seeming harmony lies an unspeakable alienation.

Thinking of this, Qin Shi's thoughts fell on Yan Lan again, and his heart felt heavy.

Will Yan Lan and I follow the same old path?

Their marriage was an accident from the very beginning.

When facing Yan Lan, he tried to get closer to her and understand her, but Yan Lan's ambiguous attitude made it difficult for him to see her true face.

Either he had always misunderstood her, or she was just too cunning...
