my name, your last name

Chapter 24 Please give me your trust

When the mobile phone rang softly on the bedside table, Gan Lu opened her eyes and found that she was lying in Shang Xiuwen's arms, with her head on his chest, his chin on her forehead, and her arms tightly around her .

She had no idea when they fell asleep in this position.

The night before, after Gan Lu came home, she was worried about Qian Jiaxi, so she made another phone call. After a long time, Qian Jiaxi answered, smiling very excitedly, and said with her tongue out, "It's okay, I'm fine, haha , Lulu, don't worry. Come on, let's come again."

There was a lot of playful and guessing voices on the phone. Of course, Gan Lu would not think that she was fine, but in such a bustle, no amount of pain could be put aside, let alone just a strange thing that didn't have time to go deep It's just love.

She first went to the study to turn on the computer, and continued to search for information to perfect her thesis.Seeing that the time was almost up, he changed into his sportswear and went to the terrace to skip rope as usual.I don't exercise for a long time, and I am panting and sweating after only dancing for a while.She went to take a shower, then went to bed first as usual, and took a novel, but her heart was chaotic and she couldn't read it at all.

Thinking of lying on the same bed with Shang Xiuwen again, she really couldn't act as if nothing had happened.The guest room is downstairs, if she asks him to spend the night there, he probably won't object.But I have agreed to move back home, and if I put on such a posture, it may alarm my mother-in-law, and I feel hypocritical.

She couldn't figure it out, so she simply put down the novel, turned off the bedside lamp, and went to bed a little earlier than usual.After tossing and turning for a while, he still fell into a sleep that wasn't considered deep for a while.In the middle of the night, she turned over, touched an arm, and woke up suddenly. Only then did she realize that Shang Xiuwen had returned at some time and went to bed.

Lying together in this way can avoid the embarrassment of face to face, she can only think to herself mockingly.

She lay motionless, her body tensed to the point of slight soreness.The sound of even breathing by the pillow and the warmth from the body under the quilt that was only a little distance away from her reminded her that there was another person lying on the same bed as her.

They have shared hundreds of nights on this bed, peaceful, passionate, indulgent, gentle... But this is the first time for her to lie stiffly like this, as if she is afraid that a single movement will break a certain carefully maintained balance .I don't know how long it took before she fell asleep again.

Now their embrace is as tight as in the past, and there is no alienation at all when they finally fall asleep in the middle of the night.She couldn't figure out whether she had slipped into his arms unknowingly, or if he had taken her into his arms while she was asleep, and she could only resign herself to thinking that she was not as resistant as she expected, and it was impossible for her to be with him again. Keep your distance.

With a slight movement, she pulled out a hand to stop the phone, and he woke up with a start, holding her tighter.

"I'm going to make breakfast for Mom."

"When I came back last night, my mother specifically asked me to tell you that I don't have to get up to make breakfast for her during the rest time. She signed up for a class in a yoga club in the park, and she will go there to practice yoga in the morning of the two weekends. You fell asleep , I didn't have time to tell you." He said in a low voice.

She let out an "oh" and relaxed.But after waking up, she still cuddled with him like this, she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling: the body seems to have an independent memory system, once touched, it can evoke that familiarity, and experience the warmth and relaxation brought by overlapping together with intimacy.But the heart couldn't synchronize with the body, feeling his restrained desire, but couldn't enjoy the fun of marriage as calmly as before.

Shang Xiuwen changed his posture, buried his face in her neck, remained motionless, as if he fell asleep again.His breath sprayed warmly on her skin one after another, she gradually kept up with this delicate rhythm, and felt a little sleepy again.

Sleeping back in the cage like this seems to have returned to the beginning of their marriage. At that time, she had not yet had a job transfer, and she was renting in the lakeside community near Wenhua Middle School.Except for the usual time, Shang Xiuwen will definitely come here every Friday. He doesn't like to sleep in late, but he is happy to stay in bed with her on Saturday morning.

That was probably the most free and unburdened period of time in their married life.Of course she knew that she lived her life in an unreal way and didn't touch the real problems that other people would face after getting married, but Shang Xiuwen and she were both happy to indulge in it.

Was she really ready to face all the problems in life with a man?she asked herself.Of course she didn't.All she knew was that she had chosen a husband who could handle almost all the problems, and for the first time she was free from the life state of needing to worry about everything for others.

She had to tell herself that maybe she was also responsible for the problems in this marriage.

She turned her head and looked at the thin face resting on her shoulders and neck out of the corner of her eye. The closer she got, the more unfamiliar she could be seen from the familiar face.Looking at it from this angle, his eyelashes are slightly undulating, the bridge of his nose is straight, and his thin lips are tightly pressed, which is still different from the previous relaxed sleeping state.

She knew that he was not asleep, so she could only close her eyes and sigh in her heart, but he seemed to perceive her silent sigh, raised his head slightly, and his lips moved up along her neck, sticking to her ear: " I love you, Lulu."

This didn't seem to be a word of love, but a solemn promise. She didn't answer, but pressed her body closer to his arms.

After lunch, Shang Xiuwen rushed back to City J.In the days that followed, life, at least on the surface, fully returned to normal.Gan Lu went to and from get off work as usual and took care of the housework.After Wu Lijun got drunk that day, she was still serious and reticent, but they were all used to getting along like this.

Shang Xiuwen would call her every day to chat with her.No matter how busy he is, he tries to drive home on weekends.He kept his promise, did not make physical demands on her, and seemed content to get along with her peacefully.

However, after the body gets closer, it is almost impossible for the mind to maintain an objective sense of distance.Gan Lu was not surprised to find that when he touched her again, she would no longer instinctively dodge; when he took her into his arms, she would even automatically adjust to a more suitable posture.

Gan Lu thought, if things go on like this, they will probably always be able to go back to the road of marriage continuation. The future is so within reach, but she can't be sure that this is the affirmation she wants.She has some comfort, but also some melancholy.

On this day, Gan Lu sent the fruit given out by the school to her father's house. Aunt Wang was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

"Didn't Xiuwen talk to you for a long time last week?" Gan Lu was very troubled by this issue, so she simply pushed it to Shang Xiuwen, "He explained everything clearly to you."

"He also said he wasn't sure."

"He's spending a little more time there now."

"It's not good for you two to live apart."

"I know, I know, that's all I can do for the time being."

"Lulu, there's something I don't know how to say."

"What's the matter?" Gan Lu became vigilant instinctively, "Just tell me, okay, don't scare me."

"I originally wanted Xiuwen to tell you, but he said it's better for me to tell it myself."

Gan Lu was confused: "Dad, let's get to the point, what's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I... plan to go get a marriage certificate with your Aunt Wang."

Gan Lu's heart was finally relieved, and she couldn't laugh or cry: "What did I think, I should have gone to get the certificate long ago, do I need to turn a corner and ask Xiuwen to tell me about it? Can you tell me?" I really treat my son-in-law closer than my daughter."

Gambo also seemed relieved: "I think what Xiuwen said makes sense. Aunt Wang has taken care of me very hard. I have to think about her."

Gan Lu thought to herself, she didn't say this 100 times, she said it 99 times, but her father kept resisting, and Shang Xiuwen had to say it to be convincing, she could only admire it.She didn't expect Shang Xiuwen to have such a deep conversation with her father, and she was a little touched for a moment. Seeing that she didn't speak, Gambo became anxious again: "Lulu, if you are not willing, I will definitely not go to collect the certificate. As I said, I want to leave the house to you..."

"Don't please, Dad, I have a house to live in. You are not in good health, and you don't have much money. There is only one house like this. It's your luck that Aunt Wang is willing to marry you. Don't say that again. It broke her heart."

"Xiuwen said the same thing. He said that as long as you like it, he will earn money to buy you a house."

Gan Lu was amused by the innocent elation in Gambo's tone, and Aunt Wang was somewhat embarrassed when she brought out the dishes.She took Aunt Wang's arm and laughed straight: "That's right, so don't worry about me. You set a date, get your marriage certificate, and I'll take you to a restaurant to celebrate."

Back home, Gan Lu was doing housework as usual, until Wu Lijun suddenly asked her: "Is there anything happy today?"

Gan Lu was startled, and realized that there was indeed a smile on her lips.It seems that the communication between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has never been limited to daily affairs, and has not reached the level of inquiring about each other's mood.But there were only the two of them in such a big house. Although the mother-in-law in front of her looked tall and straight, no matter how old she was, she also showed a little loneliness.She smiled: "My dad is planning to marry Aunt Wang, the aunt who took care of him in the hospital."

Wu Lijun was a little surprised, then nodded: "It's good to be a couple when you're young."

For other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who get along well, they can probably take the opportunity to talk about some private topics, but Gan Lu doesn't think Wu Lijun needs her comfort like that, and she doesn't plan to make trouble.

But after such a beginning, the conversation between them became more than before, and it was almost close to the usual state of communication.

After Shang Xiuwen returned home, he immediately realized this, but he didn't comment.He only asked her to buy a gift for Aunt Wang: "Father must not have thought of this. Even if you get married at an advanced age, buying a ring is still respectful."

"That's right, I'll go buy it tomorrow. By the way, how did you convince my dad? You just said that Aunt Wang is a nice person and that she takes care of him wholeheartedly? I've said all these things, but it didn't work."

Shang Xiuwen smiled: "The person Dad cares about most is you. The more you persuade him, the more he will consider your feelings. Let me tell you that it is definitely different."

Gan Lu had to admit again that this man's carefulness was beyond her reach.Ken is so devoted to her and her family, at least his sincerity is enough.

Seeming to know what she was thinking, Shang Xiuwen stroked her hair and smiled: "Lulu, I don't need to deliberately care about my father. I have always envied the relationship between you and my father."

She didn't ignore the gloomy look in his eyes, and at the same time remembered his painful memories of his father. It was a pain she couldn't comfort. She could only take his hand resting on her hair and hold it silently.

A week later, Qian Jiaxi called and asked Gan Lu to go to see the house with her. Gan Lu was a little surprised, just at this time she was also studying the overwhelming real estate advertisements in the newspaper.

"Didn't you always claim that you have no interest in investing in real estate?"

"The landlord forced me to move. Although I found a new place to live, I suddenly felt a sense of crisis. I felt that the house was much more reliable than a man."

"Do you feel a sense of crisis?" Gan Lu laughed, "Everyone in the world is in crisis, and it's not your turn."

Qian Jiaxi laughed: "I don't have a sense of crisis for myself, but a crisis for the species of men."

She can make jokes at will, and Gan Lu is happy for her: "Well, I just want to see the house too."

On Saturday, Gan Lu drove to meet Qian Jiaxi.Qian Jiaxi seemed to have done her homework, took a stack of advertisements, and directed her to walk through the city, running from one building to another.Only then did they discover that after a winter of dormancy, the real estate market was booming again.This city is like a huge construction site, with newly developed real estate everywhere, all kinds of advertisements are bewitching, the staff in the sales department are all eloquent, and all kinds of planning are extravagant.

Qian Jiaxi instructed Gan Lu to drive to the next place: "This one is said to have a subway concept, it is well-decorated, and it is being approved internally."

"Every real estate has such a gimmick."

Qian Jiaxi sighed and said: "As expected, the early birds get the worms. I used to laugh at people all the time, but now I can't find worms all over the floor, so I know that time really cannot stand the waste."

"What kind of exclamation is this? There are houses all over the floor, okay?"

"Look at the price. It's so expensive in one word. One of my colleagues saved money for a rainy day and started working as a house slave almost as soon as she started working. I used to disdain her, but I just mentioned that I want to see a house. Said calmly, she has invested in two houses as the landlord to collect rent."

"You have enjoyed a carefree youth, so don't be jealous of others."

"Hmph, then I'm jealous of you. Men, like houses, are bugs that I missed and didn't eat. You have also enjoyed your youth. If you want to buy a house now, you will have a husband to help you."

"A person like me who entered the 'death club' early is not within the scope of your envy." Gan Lu laughed.

"Is it good to get married?" Qian Jiaxi asked suddenly.

Gan Lu was silent for a while, and then said after a while: "Love is long-lasting, and it can't be answered by a simple question."

"Hey, it's so profound." Qian Jiaxi was surprised, "Luo Yin said in a column that marriage has the magic power to turn ordinary people into philosophers. She really makes sense."

Gan Lu was startled, and then smiled: "I will find this article some other day and take a good look."

In front of the sales department, Gan Lu parked the car and got off, but saw Qin Zhan getting off from a car next to her. She was stunned and quickly grabbed Qian Jiaxi. Embarrassment.

Gan Lu glanced at Qian Jiaxi, and found that she was calm, she was a little relieved, and greeted Qin Zhan: "What a coincidence, Master Ximen."

"Hello, Lulu. How are you doing, Jiaxi?"

Qian Jiaxi said lazily, "Toefl, not bad."

"Are you also here to see the house?"

"Of course we didn't come here on purpose." Gan Lu said bluntly, a doubt suddenly flashed in her heart, and she immediately changed the subject, "Hey, is this real estate developed by your family?"

Qin Zhan nodded with a smile: "I'm in charge of sales here, and the response has been good before the official opening. I'll take you in to have a look."

Gan Lu couldn't help hesitating. When she read the advertisements, she only noticed the grotesque and grotesque real estate names, but she really didn't pay attention to the developers.She turned her head to look at Qian Jiaxi, but Qian Jiaxi was very calm and composed: "It's here, let's go in and have a look."

Although it is a small high-rise house, the model room is exquisitely done and the decoration is quite amazing.Qin Zhan proudly introduced: "The decoration here borrows part of the design of a model room we have received acclaim in Binjiang Garden, following the British country style route."

Gan Lu and Qian Jiaxi laughed at the same time when they were teased, Qian Jiaxi said sarcastically: "Come on, Binjiang Garden is a mansion with a large house in Kanjiang, and it's a British-style signboard. It's a little bigger than a pigeon cage , Returning the country route, you are really insulting the IQ of the inspector."

Qin Zhan didn't feel annoyed either, he just smiled and said, "Other house inspectors are not as picky as you, okay, especially those petty bourgeoisie, after seeing this, I wish I could place an order to choose a house right away."

Gan Lu admits that although the so-called English country style is a bit nonsense, the one-bedroom house in front of her is beautifully decorated, square and practical, with a bright kitchen and bathroom, without the cramped feeling that small apartments often have. The balcony on the balcony, the warm spring breeze blows in your face, and you can overlook the city scenery, which is really attractive.

Groups of house inspectors kept coming in and out under the leadership of the staff of the sales department. Gan Lu sighed: "Didn't it mean the financial crisis? Why is the property market still so hot?"

"Housing is a rigid demand. Compared with the most popular time, I don't know where the peace is. By the way, Lulu, have you heard that your classmate Nie Qian resigned from Xinhe?"

Since Nie Qian asked her to have a talk in the cafe that day, they haven't been in touch again.She was a little surprised and shook her head: "Didn't you come to work at Wanfeng?"

"Well, my uncle would like him to come, but unfortunately, he has a better platform, the general manager of Yixin's local branch." Gan Lu was really taken aback, only to hear Qin Zhan say with a smile, "Old Shen probably Dumbfounded, it was so easy to get close to Yixin, and even lost the general manager who was poached with a high salary."

Gan Lu thought, with Nie Qian's temperament and talent, Wanfeng just regarded him as normal, and Xinhe was certainly not able to keep him, and there was nothing unexpected about it. The thought of coming to Zhizhi couldn't impress Nie now. humble.She didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she went to look at each room carefully, but Qian Jiaxi just stood in the living room, talking to Qin Zhan.When she came out of the kitchen, she saw that Qian Jiaxi was still smiling, but the smile was cold, and she couldn't help wondering: "What's wrong?"

Qin Zhan looked as usual: "If the two of you want to buy, I can make the decision and give the biggest discount."

Qian Jiaxi suddenly suppressed her smile, and said coldly, "I don't dare to get sick if I don't eat mutton, let's go, Lulu."

Gan Lu knew that she would never hold back her temper, so she shrugged at Qin Zhan, and the two walked out together.

"Where are you going next, Kathy?"

Qian Jiaxi shook her head: "Forget it, I suddenly lost interest in watching it again today, and want to go home and rest."

Her sudden turn of events made Gan Lu uneasy.After getting in the car, she asked Qian Jiaxi, "Did Qin Zhan say something that offended you?"

After a long while, Qian Jiaxi said: "He didn't say anything, and he introduced the real estate to me as if nothing had happened. Lulu, I found that I thought I was free and easy, but compared to him, I really couldn't afford it or lose it." .”

"You asked me to look at the house today, don't you mean to meet him on purpose?"

Qian Jiaxi smiled wryly: "Don't laugh at me, I really have such thoughts. I'm just not reconciled..."

"I'm willing to bet, Jiaxi, whether it's a game or a serious one, I only have this advice for you."

Qian Jiaxi remained silent for a long time.Gan Lu immediately regretted it, she had never spoken to her friend in such a blunt tone, but even if she wanted to make amends, she didn't know what to say.The two of them were silent all the way to the downstairs of Qian Jiaxi's residence.

"Jiaxi, don't think about him anymore."

Qian Jiaxi unbuttoned his seat belt: "So you understand what I mean by crisis. Intellectually speaking, I completely agree with you, but I can't help but think of him. Sometimes I think, why do I need so many To be rational, it is better to go crazy when you are young, at least to leave some memories for the future."

"If you really love him, I won't say anything, but do you want your memory to be full of resentment caused by unwillingness?" Qian Jiaxi was silent again, Gan Lu thought feebly, preaching is almost an addiction, He started and couldn't stop, "I'm sorry, Jiaxi, I didn't mean to teach you a lesson..."

"I know, you're doing it for my own good. I'll go and calm down. Maybe in a few days, I'll wake up by myself. Goodbye."

Gan Lu turned the car around to go home, but Qin Zhan called, so she had to pull over to the side of the road to answer.

"Lulu, have you taken a fancy to this house?"

Gan Lu said angrily: "You are really dedicated to your work, you tracked down potential customers so quickly."

Qin Zhan chuckled: "Okay, I'm looking for something to say. Is Jiaxi okay?"

"Don't overestimate yourself, she's fine."

Qin Zhan smiled awkwardly: "That's good. You tell her that if she wants to buy a house, I will definitely take care of her, and so will you."

"I'm not even sure if I'm going to get you into trouble with this little discount from you. It's better for her not to get involved with you now."

"What is this called?"

"The truth."

"Lulu, I really didn't cheat money or sex." Qin Zhan begged for mercy, "Probably the only crime is that I didn't show affectionate enough, but if I didn't feel that way and pretended, I would be really a villain. "

Gan Lu laughed dumbfounded, and had to admit that Qin Zhan was telling the truth. He had always lived a carefree life, and a good family background created a heartless character, which made it impossible for people to be seriously angry with him: "You will be less serious in the future." It's serious to provoke girls."

"Okay, okay, by the way, Lulu, if you like the house, I'll ask someone to save you a house with the best floor and the best type."

"I'll think about it before I talk."

Shang Xiuwen only came home at night, and his face looked very tired as usual.After eating, he directly said at the dinner table: "Mom, the Workers' Congress of the smelter passed a resolution yesterday and decided to accept Yixin's merger conditions."

Wu Lijun was quite surprised: "Why did this happen suddenly? Didn't the Workers' Congress always lean towards Xu Sheng's merger plan before?"

"I'm afraid Yixin is determined to win this time, and has spent all his money. The city is also surprised by this vote, and there are some gossips, but I'm afraid it's irreparable."

Wu Lijun's expression was gloomy: "So, Yi Xin will continue to attack Xu Sheng."

"Now several small shareholders are waiting and watching, and the economic committee is also in a dilemma. We can only continue to fight for sales and temporarily stop the production line expansion plan."

Wu Lijun sighed: "During this time, you still have to work hard."

After going upstairs, Gan Lu asked Shang Xiuwen: "If Xusheng is really acquired by Yixin, what will be the consequences?"

"The one most affected is my uncle. Xu Sheng is the hard work and pride of his self-made development. If he is bought by others, it will have something to do with Wu Wei's stupidity. He will definitely find it difficult to accept it and will always worry about it. With his personality, He will probably choose to continue holding shares, but," Shang Xiuwen remembered He Jingyi's inexplicable hatred for Wu Changzhi, he could only shake his head, "It's hard to say whether he will be kicked out of the board of directors at that time."

Even if she doesn't have deep feelings for Wu Changzhi, Gan Lu can understand the great loss he may face, she hesitates: "What about you?"

"Once the merger becomes a reality, I will choose to cash out, and there is not much financial loss."

Gan Lu reached out to hold his hand: "Xiuwen, you make the choice you think is most suitable, don't choose to leave Xusheng just because you are worried about my misunderstanding."

Shang Xiuwen was slightly startled, and then understood what she meant: "No, Lulu, from any point of view, it is impossible for me to stay on the board of directors where Yixin dominates. There is nothing to hesitate about. But, really At that point, whether it’s for Xusheng’s management or the involvement of Yuanwang Capital that I single-handedly promoted, it’s a disastrous failure—I can’t absolve myself of the blame.”

Gan Lu could clearly hear the tiredness in Shang Xiuwen's voice, and she held his hand a little tighter: "Sometimes you can only do your best to fulfill your fate, and it's not your responsibility to be powerless."

"That's what I said, but when I think that in my hands, I have to end three careers successively, I do have a little doubt about myself."

His tone was indifferent, but this was the first time he frankly expressed deep worries and frustrations in front of her.In the past, he either behaved indifferently and carelessly; or he was relaxed and controlled everything with ease.Even if there are troubles, they are just passing by.But at this time, he seemed to have given up all the concealment, consciously or unconsciously, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the word Sichuan was wrinkled between his brows.

Gan Lu didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so she could only hold his hand tighter.

Shang Xiuwen lost his mind for a while, but smiled instead: "It's not at the end of the ropes and I surrender. During this time, I will be very busy, and I have to stay in J City most of the time, and it may not be every weekend. You can come back. Lulu, don't blame me for not having time to accompany you."

"It's okay, don't worry about your family."

Shang Xiuwen clearly remembered that she hugged him and acted like a baby in this room, asking him to promise not to go to work in other places, and not to live apart.Now she acted like she had no objection to his stay in J City, he could only stroke her hair: "I've never seen you with long hair before, it's not bad."

Since Gan Lu followed her mother to get a new haircut that day, she followed the advice of the hair stylist and started to grow her hair long. Colleagues also praised that this hairstyle better suits her temperament.She smiled slightly at his compliment, but lamented in her heart that he did not forget to pay attention to all the details at such a heavy moment, which made her feel tired for him for no reason.

"Is the class tight this semester?"

"It's okay. Oh, by the way, in another week, the school arranged for me to go on a business trip to participate in a curriculum reform learning exchange activity." Thinking of the location, she hesitated a little, but said, "In W City."

Shang Xiuwen remembered the unhappiness she experienced in City W, and of course understood why she hesitated, his eyes darkened: "How many days are you going?"

"Go on Wednesday morning and return on Friday afternoon. Middle schools in the two places are conducting curriculum reform exchanges. It wasn't my turn to go, but another teacher just happened to be pregnant." Her voice dropped again.That colleague was nearly 34 years old, a key member of the teaching staff, and her qualifications were much older than hers. She was pregnant only after being married for many years, and she was overjoyed.When she heard the news that day, on the one hand, she was happy for her colleagues, but on the other hand, she was really hurt by the scene. When she mentioned it at this time, she really couldn't act as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, her cell phone rang, and she was very happy to have such a chance to change the subject, so she answered it quickly. It was her mother Lu Huining, who immediately asked, "Why didn't you tell me you wanted to buy a house?"

"Qin Zhan's mouth is so fast." Gan Lu was startled, then said sullenly, "Is he still a man?"

"I asked you, Uncle Qin, that real estate is aimed at single white-collar small apartments, and it's not suitable for you. If you want to buy a house, you might as well come to Binjiang Garden. The three phases here are sold out, and there are a few model rooms that need to be liquidated. The decoration is very beautiful, and Uncle Qin said that as long as you want it, he will give it to you at the lowest price."

"The price of the first phase of Binjiang Garden is relatively affordable. When it comes to the third phase, it's directly a luxury house route. I just want to buy a small house. I can't afford a big one." Gan Lu shook her head, "Forget it."

"Does Xiuwen not even have the ability to buy you a better house now?"

"I want to write my own name and confess myself."

"What kind of life did you live with him? Can't you still play AA system? Tell me, is he confused with that He Jingyi?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? It's nothing." Gan Lu was afraid that Shang Xiuwen, who was sitting not far away, would hear it, so she had to clasp the phone tightly to her ear.

Lu Huining snorted: "I don't know your personality yet? You would rather swallow it in your stomach than tell me directly. Also, do you have any brains? After marriage, the property is shared by husband and wife. Whose name should be written?" , the other party can have half of it. If he has no money, I'll help you pay, just don't tell him about it."

Gan Lu said with a headache: "Don't, don't need it, Mom, I don't want to make this house so complicated, so just leave it alone."

Putting down the phone, she turned around and saw Shang Xiuwen looking at her thoughtfully: "Lulu, do you want to buy a house?"

She had no choice but to nod: "Yes, I want to buy a small house."

"But why do you have to emphasize writing your own name and confessing yourself?"

Gan Lu was dumbfounded, that sentence was just subconsciously said casually, and when Shang Xiuwen repeated it at this time, she also felt that it was not appropriate.Shang Xiuwen grabbed her and let her sit on his lap, this was the way they used to like to talk.She tried to relax and leaned into his arms.

"I didn't ask you what you mean, Lulu, I also proposed to buy another house. But now you emphasize that you want to buy a small house and pay for it yourself. Do you still want to leave if there is something else? And have an idea of ​​where to go?"

Gan Lu smiled wryly, Shang Xiuwen's voice was gentle, but she was a little embarrassed when she expressed her thoughts so clearly: "I'm sorry, Xiuwen, I've become a little self-willed about the house. I don't mind living with my mother, and neither will I. He is so arrogant that if he disagrees with him, he will leave. But I really want to have a space that is completely my own."

Shang Xiuwen hugged her a little tighter, and she didn't speak for a while, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "I planned to discuss with you after looking at the house. If you don't agree, I won't buy it. After all, the loan documents require joint husband and wife. signature."

"You should look for a suitable house first. Don't look at the small apartment with two floors of ten or twenty. It's uncomfortable to live in. If you like it, I will accompany you to buy it and write your name. If this can make you feel at ease if."

"Xiuwen—"

He looked down at her and said with a smile: "I said, you have the right to do what you want, and I will accept your distrust unconditionally."

Gan Lu's eyes turned red: "I didn't mean to force you to buy me a house, and I really didn't mean to torture you with this matter, I just...just..."

She paused, wondering in frustration what excuse she had.She did not completely trust him, let alone their marriage.

Shang Xiuwen shook his head: "Okay, I understand, there is no need to feel bad about it."

Gan Lu was full of displeasure, and could only laugh at herself: "I have always thought of myself as a reasonable person, but now in front of you, I am becoming more and more arrogant and unreasonable."

"I'm willing to accept your unreasonableness."

"You scare me, Xiuwen. I'm afraid of your unconditional tolerance and acceptance. This is not the way I want to get along. I don't have perverted desires, and I can't find pleasure in torturing you. If you tolerate me, I will only reflect on myself Own."

Shang Xiuwen tilted his head, and the smile on his face took on a bit of bitterness: "Other than this, I don't know how to bring us back to the correct way of getting along."

Hearing the man who has always been able to handle everything with ease confessed his powerlessness, Gan Lu was at a loss, and could only say softly: "Let's take our time, Xiuwen, I promise, I will be a reasonable wife."

"I don't want this promise. You are always reasonable. Lulu, please give me your trust."

Gan Lu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I will try my best, I promise, I will try my best."

Shang Xiuwen hugged her closer to his chest, resting his chin on her hair. She was so familiar with this embrace and the refreshing breath on his body. She relaxed herself and hugged his waist.

He promised her to love her, she thought, and she promised him to trust him.After living together for more than two years, two people still need to make a clear promise to each other, which seems to just prove that love and trust have become the part of their marriage that needs to be recovered.If he made an effort, she had no reason to stand by.
