In the center of the desk, there are two opera tickets.
Staying there with great irony.
Li Juexi picked up the ticket and threw it into the trash can. His hand froze in mid-air for a few seconds and did not fall down. He put the opera ticket back on the table with some frustration.
The corner of the ticket was stained with blood from his fingertips.
Blindingly red.[
"Young Master." The assistant fetched the first aid kit.
Li Juexi raised his hand, and the assistant tried to clean his wound while saying, "Young Master, you haven't returned to the manor for several days."
"Is it your turn to take care of me?" As soon as he said it, Li Juexi realized that he was like a hedgehog, with thorns all over his body that pricked anyone he saw.
My chest feels very tight.
When the assistant heard this, he didn't dare to say another word and bandaged the wound silently.
After a long silence, Li Juexi suddenly said, "How many days?"
"Three days."
The assistant answered carefully, before the eldest young lady went to Germany, the eldest young master could not wait even a day and worked hard just to get there.
Now... I can actually bear not seeing each other for three days. This quarrel seems to be quite serious.
"..."
That's three days, ten hours and forty-seven minutes.
Li Juexi stared at the second hand on his watch and thought to himself, he remembered more clearly than anyone how long Manwen had been away from him.
No calls, no text messages, no emails.
Neither did he.
The cold war was the only quarrel between the two men.
He didn't understand what she was thinking. The servant at home said that she had never left the manor. She hadn't left yet... That's good, isn't it?
But he had no intention of going back.
He didn't know what... he would face when he went back. If she still had the same attitude as that day, what could he do? Kneel down in front of her and beg her, that would be impossible.
His dignity has not been destroyed to this extent, let alone what has he done wrong? [
"Actually..." the assistant said hesitantly.
"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it." Li Juexi said coldly.
The assistant hesitated for a long time, then took a heavy step back and plucked up the courage to say, "Master, when a man and a woman quarrel, a woman doesn't need reason. She only needs to be coaxed. She only needs to know that the man cares about her more than anything else. I say
It’s over, young master, I’m going to go to work.”
After saying this in one breath, the assistant ran away with oil on his feet, fearing that Li Juexi would blame him for meddling in his own business.
"Bang."
The door was shut loudly.
"..."
Li Juexi was in a rare daze, staring blankly at the closed door.
When men and women quarrel, women don’t need reason?
Why is Manwen an ordinary woman? She was trained by a southern family. She is sensible and calm. She can arrange everything in the manor and is a good family woman who never lets him have any worries.
…
"Li Juexi! Even if you don't like my wife, your daughter belongs to two people! Why do you go abroad? Why do you leave me here alone?! Get out of here! I don't want to see you! Get out of here!
!”
…
The scene in the hospital suddenly appeared before my eyes.
That time, when he rushed into the ward, she had already given birth to her daughter. She cried and cursed at him and spoke indiscriminately. She was afraid of facing this alone...
After all, she is just a woman.
Women are all weak.
Isn't it just coaxing? What's so great about it?
Li Juexi suddenly stood up from his desk, picked up his suit and walked out. He said to the assistant who was bending over his head at work, "Order me roses immediately."
"yes!"
"Forget it, I'll buy it myself!" Li Juexi said and walked out, adjusting his tie with a deep frown.
