Chapter 1238: Chapter 1210: Such an Unexpected Outcome

Speaking of this, Shi Yu got even angrier. She wiped her tears and said, "I’ve said so much to him, and he’s like a mute, not saying a word. The more he is like this, the angrier I get. I feel like he doesn’t love me anymore, turning his back and leaving. Qian, is it because I’m too big and ugly now that he doesn’t love me? Even when I’m angry, he won’t comfort me. And I’m pregnant... It’s over, I feel like my life is in darkness..."

This is women for you — even the smallest thing can escalate into questioning love.

Qian found a piece of paper and started drawing while Shi Yu sat on the sofa, grumbling to Qian about her little marital spat with Qiao Zhen. When she was done venting, Qian finished her drawing and showed it to her.

Shi Yu looked at it for a few seconds and then burst into laughter.

Qian’s drawing was quite amusing. She first drew a line depicting the process of a man’s anger. Men’s anger is just a straight line, with the reason for the anger written in the middle, and then it’s over.

The drawing of a woman’s anger was more fun. At the top was the reason for the anger, and then from that reason, several lines radiated out, each with the same random reasons Shi Yu had just mentioned — what made me angry a year ago, two years ago, and three, four years ago...

When a woman recalls the ways her husband has upset her, the details are as clear as if it were yesterday, vividly putting into words everything from the circumstances at the time to the emotional changes. The focus is on how much her heart hurt after being hurt by a man. When remembering, she’s like a historian, and when describing the pain, she surpasses Qiong Yao’s novels. In women’s memories, all men are scoundrels, without exception!

Qian also drew a depiction of how a man calms down. Most men, after passing the angry stage, choose to resolve things in bed. After a roll in the sheets, it’s considered done. But for women, calming down is a curve; they might be appeased for a moment and, after the sheet-rolling fun, see him as sweet and not be mad. But the next day, something might trigger sad thoughts again, and anger levels are instantly full. Without distinction of right and wrong, they’ll settle the score with the man again.

At this point, the man who’s just pulled up his pants faces the woman’s fury with a confused, questioning look. Had they not resolved it in bed? Wasn’t she the one hugging him yesterday, saying, "You’re amazing, hubby"?

Shi Yu was amused by Qian’s drawing and, upon reflection, thought there was some truth to it.

"Qian, you’re really insightful about life. Now that I think about it, it’s true, not just for me but also for my friends around me."

"Men are silent wolves. Their silence during arguments tends to provoke women, but this doesn’t mean they don’t love you. Many don’t wear their heart on their sleeves. The main conflict causing couple fights is the difference in male and female thinking. Expecting him to act by your thought process is almost impossible. If he follows your way, it’s likely because he’s extremely emotionally intelligent, and emotionally intelligent men usually aren’t lacking women. If he’s absolutely obedient to you, he might use these tricks on other women too. Do you want a man who’s only clumsy with you or one who’s charming but also treats other women well?"

"If he dares to go for another woman, I’ll chop him up!"

After Qian’s persuasion, Shi Yu felt much better. Qian analyzed the gender-thinking discrepancy for her, which is actually a professional technique. First, express Shi Tou’s anger and relieve her anxiety over the lack of a sense of love, eliminating the fear that her man doesn’t love her.

During this process, Qian also calmed her own heart. Through professional analysis, the turmoil between her and Yu Minglang seemed trivial. After all, isn’t that why they say psychologists treat patients as mirrors? The process of treating others is also one of self-reflection. Everyone has their seven emotions and six desires.

While these two women were talking, the two men outside were still bragging to each other. Women love to complain, while men love to brag.

You have to admire Qiao Zhen’s ability. He managed to pull out 10 yuan from his pajama pocket, bought a pack of cheap cigarettes, and got two cans of beer. Even though they couldn’t afford peanuts to go with the beer, they still puffed up their chests, refusing to admit their wives have them completely under control.

After a round of bragging, Yu Minglang looked at the lit-up house and wasn’t angry anymore. Holding a cigarette, squinting his eyes, he thought of Qian.

"Actually, my wife is really great; she’s changed a lot for me."

"Mine too. She didn’t do any housework at her parents’, but when I took off my training clothes, she washed them without a word. Her hands got red, she was scrubbing so hard. She didn’t even clean them well, used half a bottle of detergent, so much foam that it’s uncomfortable to wear. But I was really touched." Qiao Zhen also began reminiscing about his wife’s good qualities.

Both men were feeling the urge to go home, but stubbornly neither wanted to be the first to admit it. Their inner voices shouted at each other, "Hurry up and submit so we can go home!" One taking the lead would make it easy for the other to follow.

As the two men remained in a stalemate, Yu Minglang’s phone rang, and seeing who it was brought a smile to his face!

It was his wife!

Clearly thrilled to finally have an excuse, Yu Minglang couldn’t help but flaunt his phone proudly to Qiao Zhen.

"See that? My wife misses me; I need to hurry home. A man has to be a family man. I’m not having another drink with you. I leave this half-can of beer to you. May your sorrows grow even with drink, haha!"

Qiao Zhen, who didn’t bring his phone, watched him with envy, his eyes turning red. Why didn’t he bring a phone? Once Minglang took the call and headed home, he’d sneak back quietly afterward and earnestly apologize to his wife. Fighting wasn’t pleasant, especially with cheap beer unable to afford even peanuts.

"Hello?" Yu Minglang deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting to show Qiao Zhen his elation.

"Hurry back; Shi Yu is about to give birth!" Qian said urgently.

"About to give birth? Didn’t you say her due date passed three days ago without any signs?"

Yu Minglang had just heard Qiao Zhen say Shi Yu’s due date passed three days ago, but no signs of labor showed. They went for check-ups which showed stable indicators, and the hospital suggested no admission, just increasing visit frequency to twice a day. Shi Yu’s morning check-up was still normal.

"I don’t know what happened. After eating three peaches at our place, she suddenly said her belly hurt and needed the bathroom, then we saw blood. Qiao Zhen is nowhere to be found; hurry back to take her to the hospital!"

Yu Minglang hung up and quickly said a few words to Qiao Zhen before he sprinted home with the speed of an Olympic champion.

Yu Minglang followed right behind, though he didn’t accompany Qiao Zhen upstairs, he stayed below to start the car, ready to go as soon as they came down.

Within a minute, Qiao Zhen emerged carrying Shi Yu, so swift that neither Shi Yu’s mother nor Qian had time to pack anything.
