Chapter 2092: The Last Time
At home, Ye Zhifan would also receive materials sent home by the department. They were not important materials. If he was interested, he would take a look. If not, he would just put them aside and take them out when he was free.
After his argument with Sun Dongqing, he wasn’t in the mood to look at the materials. He threw the package on the sofa and stood up. “Bring out your luggage and we’ll go straight to the airport!”
He originally planned to set off after lunch. The couple’s argument made Ye Zhifan not want to stay at home anymore.
Ye Ying didn’t dare to go against the head of the family, Ye Zhifan. She glanced at Sun Dongqing quickly and bit her lip. She persuaded her softly, “Mom, don’t always be angry at Dad. I know that everything you do is for my own good. Dad is the same. Don’t always misunderstand him.
“Although Ye Jian is a military student, Dad is right. She got a military rank after graduation. As for me, if I don’t work hard, the day she graduates and enters the army will be the day I, a volunteer soldier, retire.
“I’m going to the airport with Dad. Take care. I’ll come back to see you during the holidays.”
Compared to the blind Ye Ying in the past, she was indeed much more sensible. However, she had been raised to be a little arrogant. She could not hold her temper when something happened. The words that came out of her mouth were still better than her actions.
Ye Zhifan knew his daughter well, so he kept reminding her. He was afraid that she would mess up this rare opportunity.
When he heard Ye Ying’s generous words, Ye Zhifan felt that his efforts were not in vain.
He did not want to quarrel with his wife, who had gone through thick and thin with him. Although the two of them no longer had any feelings for each other, they had been together since they were young. Their daughter was already so old, so what was the point of them quarreling?
…
Ye Zhifan’s tone softened. “You’re already in your 40s. Your temper is even worse than when you were young. In the future, when our daughter isn’t at home, I’ll really have to give in to you. I don’t want our daughter to worry about us.”
Although his tone softened, he did not mention letting Sun Dongqing send Ye Ying to the airport.
He didn’t mention Sun Dongqing at all, and she knew the reason. He was only giving in to her to rea.s.sure their daughter, but it didn’t matter. She’d long since stopped caring.
She was not afraid that he would mess around outside. As long as he dared to mess around, heh, no one would have a good time. If she went to the City Construction Bureau and the provincial government, he would not even be able to keep his position!
Ye Zhifan didn’t ask for a divorce because he was afraid that Sun Dongqing would cause trouble in his unit. That was why he endured it.
...
He had no choice. Sun Dongqing was a shrew who could do anything, let alone embarra.s.s herself.
After saying that, Ye Zhifan didn’t even look at his wife and went to his room.
He had lost his patience with Sun Dongqing. He only gave in because of his daughter, Ye Ying.
Ye Ying, who knew that her parents’ relations.h.i.+p was problematic, heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that they were no longer at each other’s throats.
She didn’t know who to help, and there was no way to help anyone. She could only try to coax them.
When Ye Zhifan entered the room, Ye Ying shook Sun Dongqing’s arm and said softly, “Alright, Mom, don’t be angry. Even a police chief gave in to you. What else are you unhappy about?
“I’m already going to the army. I’m afraid I won’t even be back once a year. You’re only concerned about being angry and you’re even ignoring me now. I can’t call home often once I’ve joined the army. Don’t make Dad angry. He’s a director, after all. You have to give him some face at home and outside.
“I told you before that Dad is very popular now. If you keep arguing with him, you’ll push Dad away. When the time comes, a vixen will appear and Dad won’t come home anymore. Mom, when that time comes, my life with you won’t be easy.”
