Silvia felt that it was really late now, and she was too drunk to drive, so she told him the address.After ending the phone call with Ryan, Silvia returned to the private room and hurriedly said goodbye to her colleagues. As a result, everyone said that they should leave together. Since it was almost over, they asked her to sing a final song. She could not refuse, so she had to sing another song.The group of people then came out of the karaoke bar as they chatted and laughed. Ryan’s car was already waiting at the entrance. Silvia said goodbye to her colleagues and trotted to the car. She was very apologetic after she got into the car. “I'm sorry that you had to come and pick me up so late at night.”She had drunk some wine, so her cheeks were crimson, and her lips were rosy.Her eyes were like cool water in the night; they were beautiful and charming.Ryan glanced at her, then he looked at the group of her colleagues outside before his eyes finally landed on her waist.He the
He knew of her beauty and her good qualities. What’s more, they were only in a relationship now, so if she found someone who was better than him, they could break up without even saying goodbye.After he was done speaking, Silvia raised her eyes to look at him. His expression was sincere, and the affection in his eyes would not lie. He was really worried—he was worried that she would fall in love with someone else.Silvia was no longer as angry after hearing his explanation.“You will always be the only one in my heart. It used to be that way, it’s still the same way now, and it will still remain the same way in the future. So I don't want to hear you say such things again.”She said how she felt in her heart seriously, then she raised her hand and poked his chest heavily. “It really hurts, okay?“If you ever say something like that again, I'll—"Ryan suddenly leaned over and kissed her, blocking all her unspoken words before she could figure out what to say next.Ryan was most
The client that Silvia was going to entertain this weekend was a workaholic. There were many benefits to having such an impatient client, such as his exceptionally high work efficiency.It barely took a month from the initial enquiry to him placing the order. Other clients would consider it again and again, or request for one thing today and another tomorrow, but this client placed an order directly without the slightest delay. The order transaction cycle was very short. One would have placed multiple orders with such a client when another client with low work efficiency would have only placed one. Silvia was nonetheless delighted to entertain such a client despite having to sacrifice her weekend. Ryan expressed his understanding of Silvia’s work. He had personally experienced the frustration of having to entertain clients during the holidays or on his off days. He told Silvia what he had in mind. “I planned for us to go back together this weekend. Your father can only fee
He went to the kitchen to boil water, whereas Mr. Alberich got up and went to the cabinet to take out the tea set.After the hot water was boiled and the tea set was set up, the two sat on the sofa as they washed the teacups, brewed the tea, and enjoyed it. The awkwardness earlier was momentarily lifted.Ryan had brought the right gift because older folks like Mr. Alberich enjoyed drinking tea. Mr. Alberich was unable to criticize him after he had brought him such a thoughtful gift. Ryan was excellent at casual and in-depth conversation. Who at the negotiating table would not be able to discern the opinions of the other party? If Ryan and Mr. Alberich hadn't really had a heart-to-heart before, it would only be because Ryan didn't have the intention to do so.Mr. Alberich was quite critical of him back then, so he did not care too much about Mr. Alberich. However, Ryan did care about Silvia, so he would only chat a few sentences formally to Mr. Alberich whenever they met. There w
This time, he was making fun of him.Ryan chuckled uncontrollably. ‘What a cheeky old man.’He was really cheeky. Just earlier, he was encouraging him; in the next second, he was mocking him. Ryan finally realized who Silvia got her quirky personality from.Mr. Alberich glared at him angrily. “What’s so funny?!”Ryan held back his laughter, then he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mr. Alberich to show his appreciation to the old man for slowly accepting him. Given Mr. Alberich’s temper, Ryan knew that he would lose his cool if he were to thank him directly, so he just offered him a cup of tea.Silvia, who was feeling apprehensive, called to ask about how he was getting along with her father. Ryan assured her while lounging on the bay window in her room, “I think we can get remarried soon.”He was implying that Mr. Alberich was gradually coming around to him. Silvia guffawed. “I told you that he wouldn't really give you a hard time.”Silvia was aware that
The little girl leaned against his ear and smiled as she said to him, “Papa, you kept yelling and saying that you love Mama when you were drunk. Grandpa said that it was too mushy, and it gave him goosebumps.”The young girl, who had learned how to repeat others' words, briskly told Ryan what Mr. Alberich had said.Ryan exhaled in relief when he heard this. He could finally be at ease. It turned out that this was the cause of Mr. Alberich’s peculiar expression. However, he did not mind what he had said at all because that showed his love for Silvia.Mrs. Alberich prepared something light for Ryan to eat for dinner according to Silvia’s request.Mr. Alberich continued looking at him with contempt as he said, “You have such a low alcohol tolerance! You yelled all afternoon!”Ryan responded with a smile, “Yes, you’re right. I’ll work on that.”He then added, “It’s just that I was really too happy today.”Ryan felt that his alcohol tolerance was not too bad, but he was genuinely t
“Once a week? Are you sure?” he asked.“Of course.”Silvia stood her ground while Ryan expressed his needs through clenched teeth.“I’d consider a minimum of three times a week. According to scientific research, a proper conjugal life is beneficial for physical and mental health—"The more he spoke, the more outrageous he sounded, so Silvia cut him off abruptly. “Okay, that’s enough. I’m hanging up. I have to sleep.”“You cannot end the call.”Ryan refused and continued keeping her on the line. “What should I do? I miss you so much because I haven’t seen you in a day. I really want to go back to you right now.”His words were so corny that Silvia laughed uncontrollably when she thought of his equally corny drunken words today.Times had changed. In the past, she was the one who used to pester him with such cheesy statements; she clung to him and was unwilling to leave him. Sometimes, she would feel that she missed him constantly when he went to work during the day and came back
‘I’ll be an honest person and work hard so that I can open my arms and embrace the person I love when I stand next to him one day, regardless of whether he is rich or penniless. I wouldn't feel superior if he’s rich, and I wouldn't be miserable even if he’s penniless.’For Silvia, the meaning of her hard work was the same. Marriage is not just living happily ever after, like in fairytale stories. Two people forming a family should be able to enjoy sweetness together and share the bitterness. Some couples could never enjoy good times together. Many times, when life is good and the economic conditions are better, the man would often cheat. Of course, the woman might cheat too. There are also some couples who can never share hardships. When life is desperate and miserable, the woman would often break down. Of course, there are also men who cannot survive these hardships. For example, Rosaline’s ex-husband, Shaun, chose a rich woman because he could not live a hard life.Therefore,
