Chapter 2000: Throw Away Your Pride
“Don’t stare at me!” Xiao Yuqian laughed wryly. “I’m also the victim here. Come on, he’s coming, let’s go over there.”
Xiao Yuqian quickly pulled Nie Zhenglan away.
Su Jimo came over and saw Ma Haodong had already laid everything out. He thanked Ma Haodong for helping.
Seeing that Ma Haodong was tending to the barbeque, Su Jimo joined in.
When Xiao Yuqian and Nie Zhenglan got back, they saw both men were standing by the barbeque rack.
“Miss Xiao, come here and have a taste,” Ma Haodong said as he waved at Xiao Yuqian.
When Xiao Yuqian got to Ma Haodong’s side, he handed her a grilled sausage.
Xiao Yuqian took a bite and praised, “Not bad at all!”
While Xiao Yuqian was talking to Ma Haodong, Su Jimo tried to strike up a conversation with Nie Zhenglan.
Now that Ma Haodong had given him a tip, Su Jimo thought that it was time that he let everything go and get his wife back.
“I’ll try!”
Su Jimo got up quickly. He had decided to throw away his identity as the Movie King and go back to who he was. The moment he made that decision, it felt like he had become younger.
Su Jimo sat down next to Nie Zhenglan and handed her the sausage.
“Lanlan, try some. It took me quite some time to get it cooked.”
“I’m not hungry.” Nie Zhenglan declined, hiding her face with her beach hat.
“Please, listen to what I have to say,” Su Jimo said. “I’m sorry... You’ve given me everything, and yet... what have I ever given you? I thought that was how it’s supposed to be, but I was wrong. I was the one who singlehandedly caused the situation that we are in today. It wasn’t until I lost you that I realized how important you are to me... You’ve taken care of me ever since we got married. Without you, I can’t even take care of myself anymore. Look at me... I can’t even find a pair of matching socks...”
To prove himself, Su Jimo pulled his pants up a little. Nie Zhenglan could not hold back her urge to look at his legs. When she did, she realized that he really was wearing two different colored socks.
How stupid are you? Can’t you even do this on your own?
Even though Nie Zhenglan was scolding Su Jimo in her head, she was also worried. She couldn’t help but shake the thought of how Su Jimow was going to live if she wasn’t in his life anymore.
But then again, she thought of what she’d lost in the marriage.
