Chapter 9 — Giang Dao

Tu Tinh Chau gently wiped my tears, but the tears kept flowing more and more: "Tu Tinh Chau, are you too childish, too immature? You can't be like other women, gentle, mature and independent..." "You don't have to be like that, just be Giang Dao." "What you say sounds good, before you didn't even let me dye my hair, didn't let me wear shorts or short skirts..." Tu Tinh Chau suddenly burst out laughing. He bowed his head, kissed the corner of my wet eyes, his nose gently touched mine, caressing intimately: "Idiot, do you think any husband would want his wife to wear revealing clothes for others to see? But in the past it was my fault. You can wear whatever you like, in the future as long as you like it, I won't interfere anymore." Actually, there is another reason that Tu Tinh Chau is not yet ready to let Giang Dao know. In college, Giang Dao often dressed very stylishly and seductively, while Co Hoai Sam had a very modern and liberal style. The two of them standing next to each other really fit well. Therefore, after starting to date Giang Dao, Tu Tinh Chau used a number of tricks to make Giang Dao voluntarily change her dressing style. Giang Dao thought that Tu Tinh Chau liked gentle, feminine women, but in reality, he just wanted everything related to Co Hoai Sam to disappear from her. He bent down to look at the girl in his arms, the girl who once stood in the rain, hugged a stuffed rabbit and cried at her mother's grave. The girl who made him feel soft and always miss her. Now, she has become his wife, and is about to become the mother of his child. He wanted her to be forever innocent, forever like a child. He will protect the most beautiful things in her in the world he has built. "So you are jealous, right? Tu Tinh Chau, tell the truth, are you jealous?" I pulled his collar, swayed and coaxed him. "Are you fascinated by my beauty? Afraid that people will look at my slim waist and long legs, right?" "Are you sure... you still have a slim waist?" He placed his hand on my flat belly, leaned close to my ear and whispered jokingly. "That's because I have a baby, you can't call me fat!" I replied blatantly, even deliberately bulging my belly a bit: "Tu Tinh Chau, even if you're fat, I still have to like you, I have to like you." "I'm not afraid you'll laugh when you hear it, Mom." Tu Tinh Chau helplessly grabbed my hand: "Didn't you say you were hungry and wanted to eat hot pot?" "It's only the size of a pea, why would you laugh?" I held his hand tightly, fingers intertwined. He has always been a calm and serious person, I have never heard him say vulgar words. Even with my slightly rude words now, he just frowned slightly without saying anything more. I can't help but remember those small moments in the past. Actually, while we were together, there were many things I noticed, but I just didn't notice them before. He is always tolerant and generous with me. He patiently endured all my childishness, roughness, fussiness, and forgetfulness. Even though he didn't spend much time at home, remember, every time he came home, no matter how late, he always kissed me, even when I was asleep. And every morning, before he goes to work early, he always gives me a kiss before leaving. During the two years I was married to him, he woke up at 6 a.m. every day, but I - his wife - rarely got up early with him, prepared breakfast or adjusted his tie. Suddenly I felt like I really hadn't fulfilled my role as a wife well. I was immersed in my own bad feelings, magnifying my doubts and self-pity, but ignoring his patience and silent love. Perturbation

and my fear of losing made me unhappy, and also made him, in the midst of his busy work, worry about my troubles. "Husband..." As soon as I got in the car, I couldn't help but gently hug him from behind. Actually, I rarely call him "husband", except when the two of us are close, and he often deliberately makes me call him that in times of passionate love. I pressed my cheek against his back, feeling the sweetness in my heart gradually dispel the bitterness and doubts. This is my man, my husband, the father of my child. I feel so lucky to be married to a man like you. “Is there anything uncomfortable?” Tu Tinh Chau asked worriedly, quickly turned around and grabbed my shoulder. I shook my head and raised my hand for him to hug me. Before, when I didn't know his feelings, I was always shy every time I acted like a baby. Now that I know he cares about me, I want to be a baby anytime, anywhere. Tu Tinh Chau hugged me: "Why do you like to act like a babe these days?" "I just want to be a babe with you, before I didn't even dare." "Don't dare?" "Who else but me, from the time we got married until now, who hasn't been weak, cried, said I bullied you?" "I haven't." "Why not, every time I've cried, blaming you for bullying." "You've really bullied me." "Don't enjoy happiness without knowing happiness." "I don't know." Let someone else enjoy it." "Don't dream, I only give this blessing to you." Tu Tinh Chau gently kissed my forehead: "Now let's go eat first, after eating, I'll settle the bill with you later when I get home." He took me out to eat hot pot, even though he didn't like places with a lot of smoke and grease, but because I liked it, he complied. When we were full and preparing to leave, I ran into Chu Dong. She went to eat hot pot with some close friends. As soon as he saw Tu Tinh Chau and I holding hands, Chu Dong pouted, his eyes red. I've been Tu Tinh Chau's wife for more than two years, why isn't she used to it yet? Chu Dong was angry and glared at me, looking like a puffer fish with puffed cheeks, a bit cute. Actually, even though the two of us don't like each other, Chu Dong is not the type of person who plays dirty behind our backs. Therefore, if we consider carefully, there is no deep hatred between me and her. It's just that since I was little, I liked to annoy her. Today is no exception. When passing by Chu Dong, she glared at me: "Giang Dao, have you two made up?" I nodded: "Yes, we've made up." Although Chu Dong was angry and jealous, he still said one sentence: "Looks like you're not stupid to the end." "By the way, you called to tell me before that Tu Tinh Chau, because his feelings were hurt, married someone at random..." Chu Dong glanced quickly at Tu Tinh Chau, seemingly worried and wanted to explain something. But I smiled complacently and continued: "Sorry, it turns out his feelings were hurt because of me before." "What did you say?" Chu Dong clearly didn't believe it, her eyes widened. "Keep your voice down, don't startle the baby in my belly."
