DAVM Chapter 73.1

Si Tian froze on the spot. Her eyes widened as she looked at Ji Jiangzhou in disbelief.

Ji Jiangzhou had almost never said such words. Facing Si Tian’s gaze, he put his hand on his lips, coughed lightly, and repeated: “Si Tian, can we make up?”

Ji Jiangzhou recalled the past, and looking back at this moment, he really did a little too much at that time.

But at that time, he had no feelings for Si Tian. What Si Tian did completely consumed his previous thoughts. When he married Si Tian, what Ji Jiangzhou wanted to do was to spend the rest of his life treating each other as guests.

After marriage, Si Tian did fulfill her duties as a wife.

In the second year after their marriage, they had Ningyi. The birth of a child gave Ji Jiangzhou a greater sense of responsibility for his family and his wife. Si Tian knew how to be proportionate and cared about neither too much nor too little. She is a qualified wife, but not a qualified wife.

(T/N: I don’t quite understand the last sentence. The ‘wife’ in the last sentence used a different form but has the same meaning. 妻子, qī​zi: formal way for wife and 老婆, lǎo​pó: wife. If anyone knows the difference, please leave a comment. I will really appreciate it.)

Before the marriage, Ji Jiangzhou knew that Si Tian had the same idea as him, living together as a partner. They had no feelings for each other.

He took a fancy to Si Tian’s gentleness and sensibleness, which made his parents feel at ease.

Si Tian probably took a fancy to his family background. They each had what they needed, making them the most suitable partners.

It’s just that after Zhile was born, Si Tian changed. Ji Jiangzhou invited a doctor, but Si Tian drove the doctor away, saying that she was fine.

In the beginning, Ji Jiangzhou’s attitude toward Si Tian was the same as before. On the surface, they were still husband and wife. He showed due concern for Si Tian, but Ji Jiangzhou did not like the way Si Tian looked at him. He did not want to be anyone’s prey. After Si Tian tried to drug him, Ji Jiangzhou became completely indifferent to Si Tian and even started to separate rooms.

The two children are still very dependent on Si Tian. Every time Ji Jiangzhou came home, there was nothing unusual, except that Ji Zhile would pester him a little more.

Ji Ningyi said that their mother was very good to them, but Ji Zhile was still young and naughty. He often caused havoc at home. He said that he hated his mother, but at the same time, he always liked to be by her side.

But when it came to leaving, both children were unwilling. They wanted to live with Si Tian.

This kind of life lasted for three years, and Ji Jiangzhou went home only a handful of times. On the one hand, he was busy with work. The expansion of the company’s overseas business and the establishment of branches all required Ji Jiangzhou to make decisions. On the one hand, Jiang Zhou was also reluctant to meet Si Tian.

Until the last time he came back, Ji Jiangzhou clearly felt Si Tian’s changes.

It was similar to the feeling when they first got married, but Si Tian no longer had that sense of alienation and a sense of propriety. She, Ningyi, and Zhile were a complete family together.

This kind of atmosphere could make people soft, and Ji Jiangzhou yearned for it. He saw another side of Si Tian. In fact, he had already had the idea of ​​reconciliation, but it turned out that Si Tian did not seem to be willing, so Ji Jiangzhou did not propose it either.

Now that the two children had achieved this, Ji Jiangzhou thought that this was a good opportunity, and he would never give up the opportunity.

Facing the stunned Si Tian, Ji Jiangzhou looked directly into her eyes and asked clearly and directly, without giving Si Tian a chance to escape.

Si Tian was really pretending to be stupid: “What are you talking about? Aren’t we doing well now?”

Ji Jiangzhou looked at her quietly. His black eyes seemed to be able to see everything clearly. He did not speak, but Si Tian seemed to see something from inside.

Si Tian was a little helpless in such a gaze, feeling that her thoughts were clearly seen by Ji Jiangzhou.

She wanted to maintain the status quo. On the surface, the husband and wife were to be a good couple. She did not know why Ji Jiangzhou wanted to change. She wanted to let it go without talking casually. Ji Jiangzhou said it so suddenly, without giving her any time to think.

Si Tian was about to speak, but she heard Ji Jiangzhou’s voice first: “Ningyi and Zhile should be waiting for you. Now is the time for you to tell them a story, right?”

Si Tian was a little stunned and said ‘hmm’ in a daze. She did not know why Ji Jiangzhou changed the subject so quickly. She was still thinking about what happened just now.

Ji Jiangzhou said: “Then, go out and see them.”

He opened the room, and sure enough, there were two children standing at the door, but they were not eavesdropping. They were standing outside openly.

Facing Ji Jiangzhou’s gaze, Ji Ningyi said, “Dad, we are here to find Mom.”

Ji Zhile said, “Yes, it’s time for Mom to tell us a story.”
