I also want to remind Deng Wenliang: Drink less alcohol when socializing outside in the future. It will be your birth year soon. Although you are not old yet, you are not young either. You can no longer work as hard as you did when you were young. You should let go of your work. Let go, give yourself some space to relax, and let our family of three enjoy the warmth of the family more...
I also want to say to Deng Wenliang...
I really couldn't hold back what I wanted to say to Deng Wenliang. I even bought a big birthday cake that night. Although it wasn't anyone's birthday, I just wanted to buy a birthday cake.
Because we, as husband and wife, were not people who pay attention to these details in the past. In the past ten years, we have been busy. If we said birthday, it was only for our daughter Tongtong. We as a couple have never given one to ourselves or each other. A decent birthday, at most, a good meal on the birthday. Even saying blessings feels pretentious, because Deng Wenliang and I both feel that we are an old couple and there is no need to pay attention to these red tapes.
But now I want to buy him a birthday cake. I want to tell him that it’s not that I can’t remember his birthday, and it’s not that I don’t want to say those disgusting birthday wishes. It’s just that some words have been buried in my heart before, so now I want to Shake it off together and give it to him to let him know how important he is in my heart.
That’s what I really thought at the time. I prepared an exquisite birthday cake and a lot of thick red candles. I even imagined the scene and closed the restaurant when only the two of us were present. All the lights were on, only those beautiful red candles were lit. The beautiful candlelight illuminated the table full of the dishes I carefully prepared. Then in the candlelight, I said to him the words that had been stored in my heart for a long time...
I imagined that it would be such a romantic and heartwarming touching scene! Even if Deng Wenliang is hard-hearted, he should be influenced by my sincerity, right?
Unfortunately, all my imagination came to nothing in the end, because Deng Wenliang did not come back at all that night.
Originally, when he left the house in the morning, he made a good promise and said he would come back to spend this wedding anniversary with me in the evening. However, in the evening, he changed his mind. I had already prepared the meal and was afraid of something unexpected happening, so I made it in advance. Hang up the phone to him.
I called his cell phone. The phone rang for a long time before he answered. I could tell that the environment there was very noisy. It seemed like he was on some street. Because the noise on the other side of the phone was too loud, I had to raise the volume loudly. He asked: "Wen Liang, where are you now? When will you be back?"
Hearing my voice, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then seemed to explain to me loudly as he walked: "Oh, Xiaoman? I... I am in Hong Kong now! Tonight... I can't go back. !”
I was stunned when I heard this. He was still at home in the morning, so why did he go to Hong Kong in the afternoon?
I asked him calmly: "Didn't we make an appointment to celebrate our wedding anniversary at home tonight? How could you just change things and suddenly go to Hong Kong?"
Deng Wenliang seemed to have found a secluded place and explained to me a little impatiently: "Isn't this a temporary change? We have a cooperation project with the Zhuang Group in Hong Kong. I have to finalize a contract, so I Come here, there’s nothing I can do!”
When I heard this, I felt a little angry. Deng Wenliang knew that as long as work issues were involved, I would not force him to do anything unreasonably, because in these aspects, I always put the overall situation first. Besides, he is not in the city now, and I will not make trouble again.
It was not interesting, so I suppressed my anger and said to him: "Well, since you have a job, let's talk about it later."
"Oh, okay!" Deng Wenliang agreed repeatedly and quickly hung up the phone.
