Tong Yifei was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She smiled at Old Tong and welcomed him into the house. She quickly took the things from Old Tong's hands and put them in as she spoke to Mother Tong. "Mom, we can eat now."
Tong Yifei went to the kitchen to help Mother Tong clean up. Old Tong was chatting and laughing with Ling Jie outside. No one knew what they were talking about. The atmosphere during dinner was quite good. Old Tong was still drinking with Ling Jie affectionately and chatting about family matters. It was very warm.
However, Tong Yifei felt uneasy at such a warm moment. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but her heart had been restless ever since she started talking to Mother Tong.
After they finished eating, Ling Jie followed them into the room. Tong Yifei sat by the bed. When she saw him come in, she stood up and spread the blanket, putting away some messy things. Ling Jie understood that she was throwing a tantrum. He had noticed it the moment he entered the room, but he was in no position to criticize Tong Yifei. Husband and wife were birds of the same forest, and they understood each other.
Ling Jie took over Tong Yifei's work and laid the blanket. He turned around and saw Tong Yifei's hand hanging vertically on his chest. He could only helplessly pull her to sit down.
He didn't know how to tell Tong Yifei, nor did he know how to persuade his young wife to go home. He held Tong Yifei's hand and didn't say anything for a long time. His palm was covered in sweat.
"Tong Yifei, come back with me."
After thinking about it, Ling Jie only said one sentence.
Tong Yifei knew the heavy meaning behind his words. But Ling Jie didn't know why she didn't dare to go back with him. Tong Yifei felt wronged. When she stepped out of this house, she would no longer be the Tong family's daughter, but the Ling family's daughter-in-law.
She leaned against Ling Jie's shoulder as tears fell. "Lingjie, I realized that I'm actually quite timid.”
"What's wrong?" Ling Jie was still confused.
"I don't have the courage I had when I married you. Lingjie, when I married you, I didn't think that it was difficult at all, but now I feel that I was too naive.”Tong Yifei said. "I've been thinking a lot during the past few days at home. I've thought about a lot of the problems we have to face. The more I think about it, the more afraid I feel. The more I think about it, the more I don't dare to leave the house."
Ling Jie sighed and pulled Tong Yifei into his embrace. He felt extremely guilty. He didn't know that Tong Yifei would think this way and blamed herself. He had never known that his wife would have so many worries in her heart.
Thinking of this, Ling Jie said," Tong Yifei, don't worry. We'll face the biggest problem together. I'm your husband. If anything happens, I'll stand up and protect you.”
"But what if the problem is your mother?”Tong Yifei asked. "You know that your mother doesn't like me. What if your mother wants to find trouble with me? Will you stand on my side and reason with your mother?”
"Tong Yifei, you and my mother are my palms. Both my palms and back are meat. How do you want me to choose?”Ling Jie said. "I know you're afraid, but my mother isn't that unreasonable. She's just sharp-tongued.”
Tong Yifei had nothing to say and no choice. She knew that no matter how she resisted or avoided this problem, she still had to face it. She lay in Ling Jie's embrace, and it was extremely warm in his arms. It was so warm that she did not want to leave, and she wanted to stay there forever.
Ling Jie hugged Tong Yifei and lowered his head to place his chin on top of Tong Yifei's head. Smelling the fragrance of her hair, he closed his eyes slightly. "Tong Yifei, don't worry. I promise that I'll give in to you in the future and won't lose my temper at you, okay?”
After Ling Jie finished speaking, he felt his chin lift up, and his lower teeth bit his tongue. The pain was so intense that he couldn't feel his entire chin. Tong Yifei said happily. "Really, Lingjie, you can't go back on your word. Those who go back on their words are pigs."
Ling Jie was speechless. This was Tong Yifei. She would be brilliant as long as she was given a little sunlight.
But it was good, at least it was comforting. He endured the pain and nodded. Then, he watched Tong Yifei jump out of his arms and look around for his clothes before throwing them into the box.
Ling Jie sat on the bed and watched as Tong Yifei hopped around the room. As expected, she had returned to the energetic Tong Yifei from before, always happy no matter what.
A person who was easily happy was broad-minded and could let go of many things to be happy. Ling Jie thought that their child would definitely be a happy child.
After Tong Yifei packed up her things, Ling Jie finally understood. Tong Yifei wasn't going home but moving. He stared at the pile of things on the ground that were arranged in a disorderly manner. He pointed at it and asked Tong Yifei," What's that?”
"My things." Tong Yifei said. "These things are very meaningful. After following me for so many years, they all have feelings for me. How could I bear to throw them away?”
He was angry but didn't dare to say anything. He could only smile and sigh. Tong Yifei, you're doing this on purpose, right?
