Xu Lan's heart ached for Xia Wen. If a married couple lived separately for too long, it would affect their relationship. Moreover, the way Xia Wen and Tan Jing lived separately was a totally different situation from how his brother lived separately from his wife. It was such an odd thing for a couple in the same city to live in separate locations.
With this arrangement, the relationship between Xia Wen and Tan Jing would likely break down soon. However, if they did not do this, the Xia family would face more difficulties in the future. It was better to let Tan Jing go away and do some reflections first. After the matter blew over, they could persuade Xia Wen to let Tan Jing come back.
"It's settled then. We'll start moving out tomorrow. I've already gotten someone to clean up the house in the countryside," Xia Wen said.
