Chapter 2669: Peaceful and Beautiful

Since Ning Shu had eaten a bowl of noodles before, she wasn’t very hungry anymore. Hence she ate the steak very slowly, and sometimes would even pause completely.

Cheng Fei smiled. “You know, Ai Yun, I especially like when you’re quiet like you are now. It feels really peaceful and beautiful.”

Ning Shu chuckled. She put down the fork and said to him, “I’ve decided that I want to work at the university.”

Cheng Fei frowned. He also put down the knife and fork, then wiped his mouth and looked at Ning Shu. “Are you sure? You know what I think about this. I don’t like it.”

“I don’t think you’re suited to working.”

Ning Shu titled her head. “I haven’t even tried working. How do you know that I’m not suited to work?”

“Anyhow, I think you should listen to me,” Cheng Fei said.

Ning Shu looked annoyed. “Am I not allowed to work? You treat me like I’m a toddler.”

“I’m not treating you like a toddler, I’m treating you like my wife. I don’t want you to suffer,” Cheng Fei comforted Ning Shu. “Alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Ning Shu insisted on her own opinion. “I’m starting work on Monday. I plan to tell Dad in a bit. As for whether I’m suited for work or not, I’ll know after I give it a try.”

“If it doesn’t work, I’ll stop immediately. Can’t you just let me try?”

Cheng Fei rubbed his temple. His expression was very worried and troubled. “Ai Yun, stop being so stubborn. You really don’t want to go to work.

“You really aren’t suited for work.”

“And why is that?” Ning Shu stared at Cheng Fei. “You must give me a reason.”

“You have a simple personality; you’re not suited for complicated work. I can earn money for us, and you can just relax. In your free time, you can just go out and hang out with your female friends.

“Ai Yun, I just want you to be happy.”

Ning Shu simply didn’t know what to say. The situation was indeed something many people longed for—she wouldn’t need to earn money to support her family, and she’d get to live a leisurely life every day.

Ning Shu poked at the steak on her plate with her fork.

The atmosphere had sunk. Cheng Fei sighed and said, “Ai Yun, everything I do is for your own good.”

“Thank you,” Ning Shu lightly responded.

Cheng Fei hesitated to speak and finally didn’t say anything.

“Take the anti-inflammatory medicine.” Cheng Fei gave Ning Shu a pill and water.

Ning Shu took the medicine and smelled it. “Why does it smell so bad?”

“Medicine isn’t sugar, so of course it doesn’t smell tasty,” Cheng Fei helplessly said.

Ning Shu put the medicine in her mouth, then swallowed it with some water.

When they were in bed later that night, Cheng Fei patted Ning Shu’s back. “Get some sleep. I’ll talk to Dad about that job.”

“Cheng Fei, why won’t you let me join society?” Ning Shu asked.

“Because you don’t fit there. You don’t.”

Those words again. Ning Shu’s ears were nearly callused from hearing it. Why did he keep saying that she wasn’t suitable and that she wouldn’t fit in?

Countless pinhole cameras were surrounding them in this room right now. Even her sleeping face had been photographed before.

She was simply speechless.

The next morning, Cheng Fei still got up early and made breakfast before going to the clinic as usual.

He still left a note for Ning Shu and his handwriting was still beautiful and rigorous as it always was.

Ning Shu ate her breakfast. She planned to go back to her mother’s house.

The first thing she said when she saw Mother Ai was, “Mom, I want a divorce.”

Mother Ai: …

Mother Ai expressionlessly stared at Ning Shu. “You’re starting this again?”

Ning Shu was speechless. “Mom, I meant what I said.”
