Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 191 190. Dangerous Proposal

That night, Lin Xiao slept alone in Tianlan Garden.

When I was single before, I lived by myself freely and it was so wonderful.

Now I'm used to sleeping in the arms of my wife, and when I'm suddenly alone, I feel lonely and cold.

Oh, it must be lonely, hot and lonely in the middle of summer!
Lin Xiao was bored with playing with his phone, and he couldn't fall asleep. He stayed up until about three o'clock when he fell into a drowsy sleep, and didn't wake up until about nine o'clock in the morning.

I didn't have breakfast in the morning and went to the new house to watch the furniture being brought in.

This villa is fully furnished and the original owner never moved it after buying it, so the house is relatively clean.

The house purchase procedures are now almost complete.

Lin Xiao didn't wait and directly carried the furniture in. He had picked them out one by one from the Internet in the past few days.

Nothing else matters, especially the choice of bedding for the master bedroom.

The bed is sturdy and durable, and the mattress is moderately soft and hard, which is especially suitable for rolling, bouncing and posing.

In the morning, the bed and mattress were moved into the master bedroom on the third floor.

Lin Xiao lay on the bed and tried it, and it was indeed very comfortable and very suitable for conceiving the next generation.

He rolled over on the bed several times, changing various positions, and then he filled out the receipt form with satisfaction.

I hired a cleaning staff in the afternoon.

In the evening, he came to Jili Garden again for dinner.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Han Xixi playing with the cat in the living room. When she heard his voice, she didn't even raise her head, as if she didn't see him.

This attitude made Liu Liyun and Han Haijun more suspicious that the couple had a conflict.

The couple looked at each other and decided to pretend nothing had happened.

At the dinner table.

Lin Xiao did not take the initiative to provoke his wife. He chatted freely with his father-in-law and mother-in-law the whole time, talking about work and decoration, like a fish in water.

Han Xixi didn't say a word the whole time, but she was actually listening with one ear perked up. Especially when she heard that the new home was receiving furniture today, she couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking that she had spent several million, but in the end she didn't even get to choose the furniture. This was really a huge loss.

After dinner, Han Xixi hid back in her room.

However, it didn't work this time because my mother took action.

Liu Liyun said directly: "I made some rose tea these two days, you can give it to grandpa and grandma, and then go back to your little home, don't come back!"

When Lin Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, knowing that his mother-in-law was assisting him.

Han Xixi was a little surprised, and after a pause she asked, "Why does the flower tea have to be delivered today? Can't it be delivered tomorrow?"

Liu Liyun said directly: "It's only eight o'clock, it's not too late, can't you two go and send it off? You are such a heartless little thing, you have to choose the time to send something to your grandma. If I say go now, then go now!"

Lin Xiao had already stood up by now.

Han Xixi originally wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say it when the words came to her lips. After all, she was willing to go to visit her grandparents!
So I had to curl my lips, put on a mask and went downstairs.

They got in the car and headed for Mingyue Garden.

On the way, Xixi looked straight ahead and remained silent.

Lin Xiao did not say anything either. He was completely at ease, and did not act in a humble or pitiful manner to ask for forgiveness after making a mistake.

This attitude made Han Xixi, who was already furious, even more unhappy, and her originally steady breathing became even heavier.

After delivering the things to grandma's house.

The old couple talked to their granddaughter, and Lin Xiao was not in a hurry and stayed by their side.

We chatted until half past nine.

Shen Suzhi realized it belatedly and said, "Oh, it's so late, you two should go back quickly!"

Han Xixi started to act like a spoiled child: "Grandma, why are you chasing me away? I want to stay and accompany you!"

Shen Suzhi was a little surprised.

After all, my son-in-law is still alive, and the young couple has always been in love, and my granddaughter hasn't insisted on living here for a long time.

Shen Suzhi has been a teacher all her life, and her ability to see the big picture from the details is unparalleled.

He didn't say much at the time. He just said that the room was not cleaned and the bed was not made, and then he coaxed the couple away.

Han Xixi reluctantly sat back in Lin Xiao's passenger seat.

Without waiting for her to speak, Lin Xiao started the car and drove into the night.

Xixi felt awkward and nervous along the way.

Now my parents’ family won’t take me in, and my grandparents’ family are also kicking me out. This is the first time in my life that I feel homeless. It’s really weird.

The car was entering a new section of the road.

Han Xixi finally came back to her senses from her awkward mood and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Lin Xiao said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, I won't sell you out!"

Han Xixi curled her lips and thought, how dare you!

In the end, I didn't ask where I was going.

But ten minutes later, when the car stopped in an exclusive underground garage, she realized that this was his new home - to be precise, their new home.

Han Xixi felt mixed emotions.

Two days ago, they were still happily discussing and planning the layout of their new home, but now, a truth had triggered a galaxy-sized rift between them that would probably never heal.

She sighed silently and went upstairs with Lin Xiao.

I walked around the new house and found an extra sofa in the living room, extra pots and pans in the kitchen, and an extra bed in the bedroom.

Compared to the last time I visited, the house was just a house, but now this three-story house really feels like a home.

Even though Han Xixi felt uncomfortable, she now felt brightened.

Because all the decorations in the house were what she wanted.

The curtains were bright yellow with small florals, the bed was solid wood with linen gray cushions, and even the sheets were her favorite goose yellow color, exactly the same as the room she had lived in for more than ten years.

Xixi couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Although she was still very angry with Lin Xiao, the feeling of having her preferences completely guessed made her feel a lot less resentful.

Lin Xiao was secretly observing from the side, and when he saw the light and darkness changing in her eyes, he knew that he was one step closer to coaxing his wife back.

He said nothing and led the way back to the car.

This time the car was heading towards Tianlan Garden.

Silence all the way.

When they were almost home, Han Xixi couldn't hold it in any longer and took the initiative to say, "Don't think I will forgive you just because you have decorated the new house!"

He tried to keep his tone cold, but there was still a hint of hesitation in his hard voice.

Lin Xiao knew it well, but he remained calm.

"Did I ask you to forgive me?" he said calmly.

"..."

Han Xixi was speechless and even angrier.

All the way home in silence.

Han Xixi went straight into the master bedroom and closed the door.

Lin Xiao heard the sound of the door slamming. He was in a good mood and took a leisurely shower. Then he went back to the second bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

He bought breakfast at home and then rushed back to work.

Although it is still the holiday, there is an investment promotion conference in the county this morning and he has to attend on behalf of Chaobai Town, so he has to attend.

Been busy all morning.

I originally wanted to go directly back to my parents’ house at noon, have a good meal, and have a good sleep, and not go to Ninghai in the afternoon.

But when I think about my wife who is still in a bad mood, I can show off my strength verbally, but if I really leave my wife at home and ignore her completely, it would be adding fuel to the fire.

So we drove back to our little home.

I bought some vegetables at the doorstep and prepared to go upstairs to cook for my wife.

When I entered the room, I found that the breakfast on the table was untouched and there was no sound in the room.

I thought my wife wasn't home, but the shoes were still at the door.

He was very surprised and quickly called out, "Wife? Xixi?"

While shouting, he walked towards the room and saw Han Xixi curled up on the bed in the stuffy room, holding her stomach and covered with a sheet.

It was hot in June and the air conditioner in the room was not turned on.

Lin Xiao just stood there for a while and broke out in a sweat. He knew at a glance that his wife's relatives had come again.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He didn't expect that after working hard for more than a month, he failed to sow seeds successfully. This made him feel frustrated and he even doubted the quality of his tadpoles.

"You've been doing this so often, but you're not pregnant?"

After expressing his feelings and doubting for a while, he began to understand his wife's hard work. He lay down on her back and skillfully reached out to cover her stomach.

As soon as I put my hand into the quilt, she opened it with one hand.

"Tsk!" Lin Xiao was displeased and said coldly, "You can be hard on me, but don't be hard on yourself. Can holding on by yourself make you appear independent, noble, elegant and beautiful?"

This made Han Xixi even angrier, and she tried her best to break free with her last bit of strength.

But in the end, she was forcibly subdued by Lin Xiao, who held her waist with one hand and covered her lower abdomen with the other.

Han Xixi struggled twice more, and only accepted this bitter medicine with humiliation and grievance after confirming that she could not break free.

Slowly I fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sky outside the window was dim and my body was covered in sticky sweat stains.

There was no one behind me anymore, the room was completely empty.

Han Xixi breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but then felt a sense of inexplicable loss.

After lying down for a while, I got up, opened the door, and heard the rumbling sound of the range hood coming from the kitchen and smelled a faint fragrance.

She stood at the door of the room, pursed her lips, and looked a little absent-minded.

Lin Xiao happened to come out of the kitchen carrying dishes and saw her.

"Wake up and come to eat!"

After saying this, he went back into the kitchen.

Han Xixi originally wanted to say she didn't want to eat, but firstly, Lin Xiao didn't give her the chance, and secondly, she had just been forced to accept the hand-warming therapy for dysmenorrhea in the afternoon. It was too late to destroy the bridge now.

So I had to sit down at the dining table reluctantly.

Lin Xiao didn't care about it. He brought out some thick porridge and served her a bowl very naturally. He then opened a can of ice cola.

Xixi was just about to ask him why he didn't drink the porridge.

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she saw that he was sweating all over while cooking and his clothes were mostly wet, then she realized that it was summer and only special patients like her needed to eat hot porridge.

So he stopped talking, lowered his head and slowly drank the porridge.

The room was silent.

Soon the bowl of porridge was finished, and Lin Xiao naturally wanted to serve her a second bowl, but she refused.

Lin Xiao thought she was full, so he wanted to clean up the dishes.

"Sit down!"

Han Xixi finally spoke, her tone neither cold nor hot.

Lin Xiao was surprised for a moment, then sat down, folded his hands over his chest, waiting for her to speak.

There was a weird atmosphere in the room.

Han Xixi prepared herself mentally for a long time, and finally said, "I've thought a lot these past two days, and I... don't want to get a divorce for the time being!"

Being able to say this made Lin Xiao feel very confident that his various tactics of secretly showing affection in the past two days were still very effective.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained calm.

"Well, then what?"

"..."

Xixi curled her lips in annoyance and thought to herself, you are quite calm, as if I was the one who did something wrong.

His voice immediately became even colder, and he said angrily, "Although it is true that you secretly filmed me and caused me to be blacklisted by the entire Internet, and I was kept in the dark the whole time, which makes me very angry! But I don't want to completely deny the relationship between us because of this incident. There is no direct causal relationship between the two!"

Lin Xiao nodded, it would be good if the silly girl could figure it out.

"so what?"

"So, no divorce for now!"

"temporary?"

"Yes, for now!"

Xixi said seriously, "Although I don't deny our current feelings, and I don't deny your feelings for me. But no matter what, our meeting started from an absurd mistake and a fatal deception!"

Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

I wanted to refute, but when I thought about it carefully, I almost caused someone to quit the circle because of a casual photo I took, so it’s okay to describe it this way.

Han Xixi continued: "Before I knew the truth, I always thought that the blind date at my house was our first meeting. Although we started with a contract marriage and kept it a secret from everyone around us, we were honest with each other.

"Our relationship has developed to this point, and we have gradually become more in love. Looking back at the time when we decided to sign the contract and get the marriage certificate, I feel that it was very bold, but I also feel that it was destined by fate, and I even feel that it was very sweet.

"But when I found out that you were the mastermind behind the revelations about me, I could no longer view our encounter from a romantic perspective. I even thought that we were honest with each other, but that actually didn't exist. All of this was just my one-sided conjecture. From your perspective, I felt like a fool, like a clown, being played around by you..."

This is getting more and more outrageous.

Lin Xiao quickly said, "Stop it! I have never played tricks on you, nor do I think you are a clown!"

Han Xixi was very calm and nodded.

"I don't mean to put a accusation on you, I just want you to know how I feel!"

She said calmly and firmly, "I said all this not to blame you, I just want you to know that what I am facing now is the collapse of the trust system between us - this is fatal to the relationship between husband and wife. After all, isn't mutual trust the most important thing between a couple?"

These words left Lin Xiao speechless.

No matter how much he shouts about his sincerity, he still feels for his wife.

He really couldn't deny that he had been wearing a mask from the time they first met on a blind date to the time they fell in love and knew each other.

There really wasn't any mutual trust between them.

Xixi's words now can be considered calm, objective, and heartfelt.

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "So?"

Han Xixi talked for a long time before she looked up at him. There was a hint of reluctance and confusion in her eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally said directly: "So, I want to calm down for a while and give each other some time!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows.

This statement can be both light and heavy, and is really hard to understand.

"What do you mean by giving each other some time to calm down?"

"It's just what I said, no divorce, but separation for a while!"

Han Xixi said seriously, "I always thought that we had a marriage certificate as the end point, and that marriage first and love later was a very romantic thing. But after several trust crises, until now when the trust system completely collapsed, I realized that it was not the case.

"Having a marriage certificate will make our relationship develop more smoothly, but in fact, we will also tolerate each other because there is no way out. Because when couples quarrel, they just break up, but when we quarrel, we divorce, so we dare not quarrel even if we want to, and we hold back our anger.

"As a result, many problems that should have been solved before marriage, personalities that should have been adjusted, and crises that should have been handled, have been beautified and downplayed. We thought we were in love with each other and there were no problems at all, but in fact, there were crises and deceptions underneath the love!"

The words became more and more serious, causing Lin Xiao to frown deeply.

But he smacked his lips for a long time but couldn't say a word of rebuttal, and even felt that Xixi was right.

Let’s not talk about the other person’s mental journey for now.

From his perspective, he felt guilty repeatedly during their relationship because he was the mastermind behind her being blacklisted on the Internet.

To be objective and fair, his love for Han Xixi developed out of guilt.

This is honestly not very healthy.

Seeing that he remained silent, Han Xixi knew that she, a rookie in relationships, had finally figured it out correctly. She felt happy and disappointed at the same time.

She continued, "Our current situation is very complicated, so complicated that I don't know what to do. The only solution I can think of is to separate for a while, calm down, and think about what we really feel for each other!"

At the end of her words, her voice became lower and lower, with hesitation at the end.

Lin Xiao remained silent for a long time before asking, "How long do you need to calm down?"

Xixi thought about it.

"One month!"

"So we won't be in touch for the next month?"

"Um……"

"What about the parents on both sides?"

"You can find excuses. I'm busy, or you're busy!"

"What about a month later?"

"Um...what do you mean?"

"What if, after a month, you still think I'm a bad person and can't trust me wholeheartedly?"

"..."

Han Xixi lowered her head, speechless.

Lin Xiao sighed.

At this moment, I feel a little tired and actually think that it is a good idea to separate temporarily.

After all, the problem and contradiction are here. They cannot be solved by just pestering or fooling around. There is no specific medicine, so we can only use time to slowly heal the wound.

Lin Xiao was very confident. He was not afraid that after the separation, his wife would get angrier and angrier and give him a negative score in her heart.

The so-called distance creates beauty.

If they weren't separated for a while, the girl wouldn't be able to remember how competent her husband was and how much he had given to her.

So now, faced with this "dangerous" proposal.

He nodded and said calmly, "Okay, I agree!"
