The phone alarm clock hadn't rung yet, and the room was as quiet as usual, except for the breathing of the two of them, there was basically no other sound.Jiang Yan didn't get up immediately after waking up, but lay quietly for a while, without moving but already thinking about the content of the novel that he didn't finish last night.

He didn't hear the sound of knocking on the door for a while, Jiang Yan thought that Jiang Youjun should like the small bed that he changed recently, so he got up later and later.The people around him still slept deeply, it seemed that they were exhausted last night.

But the tiredness last night was not because they did some non-stop exercise, but because Xia Yining had a meeting with his subordinates in the company to discuss the plan, and didn't come back until almost three o'clock.

Jiang Yan's thoughts drifted a little.She felt that if she continued to lie down like this, she would not be able to think of any effective novel plots, so she might as well get up earlier and look at the document for some inspiration.

He moved as lightly as possible to avoid waking Xia Yining when he got up, Jiang Yan only kissed her face lightly before getting out of bed.It was so light, like hair brushing, Xia Yining didn't even respond.

Jiang Yan, as usual, made breakfast after washing up, kept Xia Yining's share warm, and after she finished eating, she went to her previous room.Now that room has been converted into her studio, drawing and writing, she still prefers to stay there to finish.

When Xia Yining woke up, there was no space around her. She stretched out her hand and touched it a few times, but the remaining warmth was not obvious.Before opening her eyes, she pursed her lips: Jiang Yan got up first again.

The little disappointment in my heart only stayed for a while, Xia Yining didn't have much time to feel sad about it, and the problem that was not resolved in yesterday's meeting had to continue today.The latest plan will be delivered to the client next week, and everyone in the company is working overtime.

She went downstairs to see the breakfast Jiang Yan had prepared for her in the familiar old place. The temperature was just right and the taste was the same as usual.Xia Yining was sitting alone in the restaurant eating breakfast. She knew that Jiang Yan was busy writing a novel, so she didn't bother her when she passed by her studio just now.

After eating quickly, she tidied up briefly, and then patted Jiang Youjun's head.Mao Mao had just woken up, her eyes were still dazed, and her two paws were clasped to cover her eyes.He whimpered a few times, and bid farewell to her.

Xia Yining glanced upstairs, took out his phone and sent Jiang Yan a message [I'm going out, I have to work overtime tonight, don't wait for me to eat dinner, bye. 】

Jiang Yan's reply was quick [Be careful while driving on the road. 】

Xia Yining got into the car and sighed. There is nothing wrong with such a life, after all, all fanatical love will eventually return to normal.

This year is the sixth year of their marriage, and the mediocrity seems to have come earlier than she expected.This hurdle is something that all couples who have a stable relationship will inevitably face. They have also discussed this hurdle, and both of them felt that it would be good to let nature take its course.

However, when this stage came naturally, Xia Yining still felt a little disappointed.Could it be that the future life will be so peaceful and waveless?

Li Xiaoyuan called her and said that the client had just proposed a new amendment, Xia Yining quickly withdrew his thoughts and drove to the company.

Since the successful repurchase of Xinxia and the name change to Jiangning Group, both of them have made great progress in their careers. Not only have their net worth increased dramatically, but their advantages in their respective fields have also become more and more obvious.

Of course, they are also getting busier.

As soon as Xia Yining arrived at the company, Li Xiaoyuan and people from other departments sent several reports: "Mr. Xia, these data have to be adjusted."

This time, the client was brokered by Deputy Mayor Lei. He has a government background. The project is very good and meaningful, but the profit is thin and the requirements are high.The reason why Xia Yining took this project was not only to save Mayor Lei's face, but also to be the first to enter this field ahead of his peers.

"You change it first according to the customer's request, and the follow-up measures will be discussed in detail after a meeting."

After finally finishing the meeting, before they had time to eat, Qu Lan came over to remind her: "President Xia, there is an interview at three o'clock this afternoon, don't forget."

Xia Yining rubbed the center of her brows and asked her, "Are you sure Mr. Shen will go too?"

"I've asked, Shen will always go."

Xia Yining hastily picked up a few mouthfuls of fried rice, drank a cup of coffee, and after putting on her makeup, took out the interview draft prepared for her by the secretary to read it.

The guests interviewed this time are representatives of female entrepreneurs who have made remarkable achievements in Haicheng in recent years.Originally, she and Jiang Yan were invited to be together, but because the two of them were too popular together, they were afraid of stealing the limelight from other guests, so in the end, only Xia Yining attended alone.

Shen Zhibing wasn't among them, but with her achievements, the ten of them added up are about the same.It just so happened that she came back to handle business during this period, and the city intended to let her "bring the old to the new" and impart some experience, so she was treated as a special guest and given special treatment.

Xia Yining has always wanted to find a chance to have a good chat with Mr. Shen, but unfortunately they had very few opportunities to get in touch these years.Even if I saw them, most of them couldn't have a deep conversation because there were too many people around.

This time is a good opportunity, Xia Yining has plans on the way to record the interview.

When Shen Zhibing heard her invitation, he refused with a smile: "Not tonight, I have an appointment."

Xia Yining couldn't help but nodded in frustration, but didn't force it.

"Do you have time this weekend? I can."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Zhibing walked out of the building with her, and looked around casually: "Did Jiang Yan come to pick you up?"

Xia Yining said calmly, "She's busy with work."

Today's interview is nothing special, there is no need to come here specially.

Shen Zhibing's eyes quickly slid across her face, and he said no more: "Then we will see you at the weekend."

Xia Yining thought she had a dinner appointment on the weekend, but Shen Zhibing called and asked her to play golf with Jiang Yan.

Although Jiang Yan was surprised when she heard this, she did not refuse. She glanced at her work plan and figured out how to adjust the schedule to free up weekend time.

Xia Yining saw her serious and thoughtful face, and didn't want her to stay up all night because of this matter: "It doesn't matter if you really can't get it wrong, I'll just explain it to Mr. Shen."

"It's okay, I can take care of it. Didn't you always want to ask Mr. Shen, this opportunity is rare, don't disappoint."

Xia Yining took a deep look at her, feeling a little depressed.

When they got to the stadium, they realized that it was not only Mr. Shen, but also Qi Zheng.

Compared with Mr. Shen, who can occasionally meet face to face, Qi Zheng is even more rare to see.While they were going to choose clubs, Jiang Yan leaned into Xia Yining's ear and said, "If I had known Qi would always be here, I would have brought Xu Zhiyao along with me even if I stuffed it in my pocket."

Xia Yining looked at her: "Put it in your pocket? Are you afraid that sister Zi will stare at you?"

Jiang Yan wasn't worried at all: "It would be nice if it could be like this, at least it shows that Sister Zi cares. It's better than the two of them getting along like this, and I don't know what they really want."

Xia Yining also followed Youyou with a sigh: "Emotional matters are not allowed by others."

They can only watch, insisting to intervene will only be counterproductive, only blessings.

At this time, Shen Zhibing came over: "I haven't whispered enough at home, and you still want to continue to be sloppy in front of me?"

Seeing that they all stood up, Shen Zhibing didn't delay: "Let's go, let's play a few shots first."

In terms of technology, Shen Zhibing is the well-deserved No. [-] in the audience, but in terms of interest, it is obvious that Qi Zheng is more enthusiastic.After playing for a few rounds, Jiang Yan's interest also came up, and Qizheng and Qi Zheng chased each other very closely.

Shen Zhibing and Xia Yining followed behind, simply threw the cue to the caddy and started chatting.

"Have you had problems getting along recently?"

Xia Yining didn't expect Mr. Shen to speak so directly, and he hesitated for a while as to how to answer.

Shen Zhibing smiled and explained: "I don't intend to spy on anything, but the expressions on your faces are more obvious."

expression?Xia Yining silently recalled it, is it that exaggerated?

"It's not obvious, it's just that I looked carefully."

Xia Yining didn't explain too much, she and Jiang Yan did have some problems recently.

"Entering a new mode of getting along, feeling bored?"

Xia Yining had to sigh again, Mr. Shen's insight is really amazing.No wonder she faded out of the business world, but there are always her legends. The Shen family still has a stable position in Haicheng without continuing to expand.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with mediocrity, but compared with the past, the gap is a bit big." In front of such seniors, Xia Yining didn't deliberately hide his thoughts, and perhaps he could gain experience by being honest.

"It's normal. No matter how vigorous the relationship is, it will become flat and become a part of life, and it will go round and round and then integrate into your life."

Of course Xia Yining understood that the longer she spent with Jiang Yan, the more she relied on her.The two are used to discussing and solving problems together, but they are not as eager as before.

Even that thing, the frequency is much less.Recently, she has been busy with projects and occasionally has to go on business trips, and Jiang Yan has to publish new drawings and write novels, so she often falls asleep directly in the studio.

It was like last time, and both of them were so sleepy later, it ended a little sloppily, which formed a stark contrast with the past.

But Xia Yining would never say this to others anyway. Fortunately, Boss Shen didn't ask.

But her clear expression seemed to make everything clear.

Shen Zhibing looked at the two people not far in front, and his eyes stayed on Qizheng most of the time: "Emotions will change, no one can permanently fix the relationship in a pattern."

"I get it, so we're all trying to adapt to the new phase."

Xia Yining thought for a while, then asked, "Mr. Shen, can I ask you a personal question?"

"You said."

"You and Mr. Qi have been together for so many years, have you also experienced these ups and downs?"

"No long-term couple will stay in love forever, unless the relationship lasts for a short time. If you want to go on for a long time, it is true to be flat and stable."

Seeing Xia Yining looking thoughtfully at Jiang Yan from time to time, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up, and Shen Zhibing knew that there was no fundamental problem with their relationship.

"Emotions need to flow. Only when two people grow and experience together can they keep in sync."

"I seem to understand a little bit, thank you Mr. Shen for your explanation."

"I'm just offering some experience from people who have been there, and I don't want you to take detours. After all, it's rare to have a lover, and it's even rarer to find someone worthy of deep love."

Indeed, Xia Yining is always grateful, grateful for meeting Jiang Yan, grateful for their love, and even more grateful for their time together.

She remembered what Xu Zhiyao had said, and couldn't help asking Shen Zhibing: "Mr. Shen, same-sex marriage is legal now, have you and Mr. Qi considered getting married?"

She originally thought that Shen Zhibing would calmly say that it was just a piece of paper, and feelings were the most important thing.Unexpectedly, Shen Zhibing was silent for a long time, and his eyes were glued to Qi Zheng's back for a long time.

Xia Yining saw helplessness and regret from her expression that faded a lot in an instant, and also saw relief and a hint of sweetness?

"In order to be with me, she promised my family that she would never officially disclose the relationship, let alone get married."

It turned out that they never got married because of this, Xia Yining didn't know how to comfort her.

On the contrary, Shen Zhibing expressed his thoughts frankly: "Of course it was a pity at the beginning, even though the person who made her swear is no longer there, she still sticks to her promise, which makes me feel that she is a trustworthy person."

Xia Yining couldn't imagine Mr. Qi's feelings. If she or Jiang Yan were to be forced to make such an oath, they would be sad for a long time.

"My lover is such a trustworthy person, so there is nothing to worry about her love and commitment to me."

After Shen Zhibing finished speaking, the happiness on his face didn't look like a forced disguise at all.

"Mr. Shen, I really envy you."

"You also have your own happiness and emotional matters. Don't compare or worry too much. If you feel boring, then manage it with your heart and let it regain its vitality."

Shen Zhibing's words kept circling in Xia Yining's mind. After returning home, she was still thinking about what kind of ritual would make her and Jiang Sergeant spark a new spark.

"What did you talk to President Shen about today?"

Jiang Yan was busy exercising skills with Qizheng, and seeing that the two were chatting enthusiastically, he didn't bother him.But Xia Yining's absent-mindedness along the way made her a little worried.

"fine."

After Xia Yining finished speaking, he felt that his words were wrong. No matter how ordinary the day was, the words should not be too succinct.As time goes by, the topic will naturally become less.

She thought about it, and took the initiative to go forward and hook Jiang Yan's neck, and stared at her.

"what you want to say?"

"I accidentally saw your novel manuscript a while ago, and found that you are not very serious."

"Oh? Let's hear it, why didn't I know about it."

Xia Yining put his lips next to her ear and blew, "Aren't you afraid that your readers will report you to drive?"

Jiang Yan laughed loudly: "I don't intend to send out those saved manuscripts, who can see them?"

"Then am I not your only reader?" Xia Yining chuckled inwardly, hugging him tighter and tighter, "Then let's study tonight whether the content in your manuscript is true or not."

Jiang Yan returned to the bedroom from the studio very early tonight. Xia Yining came out of the shower and saw that she was reading some newly printed documents in her hand.

Her footsteps faltered, but she still bit her lip and stepped forward, climbed onto the bed and took the manuscript away from Jiang Yan.

"You still need to review what you wrote."
