Whisper unintentionally

40.

"Tuktuk." There was a light knock on the door, and then there was silence, as if patiently waiting for Kou Yaner's response.Kou Yaner was puzzled for a moment. Neither Xiaokouzi nor Li Zhiqiang knocked on the door like this, let alone Xiaokouzi was already asleep.That must be Li Zhiqiang, but such a stiff knock on the door is not Li Zhiqiang's style.He wasn't rude, but he always knocked on Kou Yan'er's study door with confidence, and the knock was only symbolic, and he would open the door immediately after knocking.

"Please come in." Kou Yan'er leaned back in the chair and looked at the door.

Li Zhiqiang pushed open the door, seeing Kou Yaner's calm expression, he was even more flustered. "Um, I have something to do."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Kou Yaner's tone was polite and distant.Li Zhiqiang's current appearance made her a little uneasy.Perhaps if Li Zhiqiang maintained his original arrogance and complacency, it would make her feel more at ease.

"Feng Bin wants to get together with us." Li Zhiqiang took a step forward and closed the door behind him.

Kou Yan'er was suddenly a little unhappy. It seemed that Li Zhiqiang had already told Feng Bin.Why do you tell outsiders about your own family?Isn't he a face-saving man?Why don't you care about face now?

"You don't need Feng Bin to persuade me. Zhiqiang, can I ask you not to tell people about this matter everywhere, and we can settle our own affairs, okay?"

"You should listen more to what other people think about this matter. When you look at your mother, you feel that you are wrong. It's good for you, now you don't even listen to your mother's words." Li Zhiqiang said angrily.He bent down and begged Kou Yaner's mother. He thought that the old lady would be able to settle Kou Yaner, but the old lady failed.

Speaking of her mother, Kou Yan'er became even more angry.Faced with the old lady's persuasion, questioning, nagging and tears, Kou Yan'er had a headache.She gritted her teeth and refused to answer, and then could only declare repeatedly that she was an adult and could decide her own marriage and life.

She doesn't want to complain that her mother has controlled her since she was a child, and she doesn't want to complain that she has never had many opportunities for self-determination and self-choice.

"Why should I listen to other people's evaluations? No one else can evaluate our marriage, let alone persuade us. Who knows our true feelings? Who knows our true situation?"

"Yan'er, let's stop making trouble. I know I did something wrong. I shouldn't share a room with you. Why don't you move back and let us sleep together?" Li Zhiqiang glanced at the small bed leaning against the wall.He has long regretted the phrase "Get out" that he yelled in anger. Kou Yaner's personality, once "Get out" goes, he will never "Get out" again.

Kou Yan'er bit her lip and stared at Li Zhiqiang coldly.

The moment Li Zhiqiang let her go was a great humiliation to her.She couldn't remember the reason for the quarrel that time, she only remembered Li Zhiqiang's last roar.After that night, she never returned to the big bed that she personally chose.She has always said that more than 1/3 of life is spent in bed, so the bed must be carefully selected.

She never mentioned this humiliation to anyone.Even Luo Xue didn't know.As for the small bed in the study, Kou Yan'er only explained that it was a small bed for her to rest temporarily.

That night, Kou Yan'er was ready to tell Xu Xiaomai, but at the last moment, Xu Xiaomai didn't ask again. She didn't know why Xu Xiaomai gave up on this question in the end.But while she was relieved, she also had a trace of regret.Maybe it's just because I made such a difficult decision in vain?

Kou Yan'er later guessed Xu Maimai's thoughts repeatedly. She even thought that Xu Maimai, who was as smart as Xu Maimai, might have guessed the truth, so she didn't ask, leaving her enough dignity.

Kou Yaner's silence and thoughtfulness made Li Zhiqiang misunderstand that he might accept his apology. He got up and walked around the desk, wanting to work harder while the iron was hot, sincerely apologize, and then resolve the crisis.In his eyes, Kou Yan'er's divorce request was mostly related to this matter.He recently saw a chicken soup article in WeChat, and he glanced at it casually (no one will read the chicken soup article in WeChat seriously, it is enough to glance at the subtitles in the highlight), and he probably understood that women should not be seen. Men are cold, because women feel that men don't love her anymore.No matter how individual Kou Yaner is, she is still a fragile woman.

But when he came to Kou Yaner's side, Li Zhiqiang's attention was attracted by a sketch lying on the pile of books on the table, and he reached out to pick up the photo frame.He looked at the picture carefully, there was no doubt that it was painted by Kou Yaner, and the small characters scrawled on the signature should be "Yao Fei".

Who is Yao Fei?Li Zhiqiang's face instantly turned cold.He had never heard the name.

"Yao Fei, you put your heart into this painting." Li Zhiqiang couldn't help but revert to his old ways.

"Of course, he drew a winter vacation." Kou Yaner took the photo frame back from Li Zhiqiang's hand, propped it up, and carefully put it into the decorative compartment of the bookshelf.
