After marriage, there's joy

Lai Zhiyun had graduated from university, was not interested in romance, and only wanted to focus on her career. Yet her dad was particularly worried that she had limited experience and was susceptible to being obsessed with love. Therefore, he utilized his "financial power" to get her to go on arranged dates. Her dad said, "It's fine not to date, and it's fine not to marry and stay single forever," but you must get out and see the world. So as not to have too little experience and be easily carried away by love. Thus, the candidates for the arranged dates were very reliable, with high educational backgrounds, good family circumstances, as well as being tall, handsome, and having long legs. 【Highlight One:】 It's often said that the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a major issue, Mother-in-laws aren't mothers, and it's okay just to keep up appearances and get along on the surface.

157: A familiar dog shape

"Then I won't bother you anymore, I'm hanging up."

Beeep—

The video call suddenly went dead.

Lai Zhiyun: "..."

Stunned.

Just like that...

He hung up?

She hadn't had enough yet.

Lai Zhiyun blinked in confusion, her mind replaying the conversation.

Was it the tone of her voice?

Or was there ambiguity in her words?

Lai Zhiyun, head bowed, sent Zhou Liao a message to clarify, "You did not interrupt my work."

Maybe she was overthinking it.

[Zhou Liao: Understood, continue with your work, finish early and come home early.]

Zhou Liao replied quickly.

But he didn't continue the conversation, responding with just one message and then silence.

Lai Zhiyun read his message word by word.

It seemed to be filled with a considerate sense of propriety, yet it lacked the sweet intimacy.

He didn't say he missed her.

Thumbs down.

Whirrrr—

Pocketing her phone, Lai Zhiyun turned on the tap and splashed her face with cold water.
