Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 1 Divorce
The argument at the dinner table started again.

The younger sister, Liu Wanqiu, had hurriedly put down her chopsticks and gone back to her room as soon as the argument started.

Liu Songyan, the older brother, was already used to it.

He slowly finished the remaining food in his bowl.

He left his parents, who were still arguing, alone and silently went back to his room.

The man sat at the dining table.

He has a well-proportioned figure and does not show signs of middle-aged weight gain; his broad arms highlight the simple striped shirt.

He kept his eyes downcast, offering no opinion, staring at the carefully prepared food on the table, while the woman's harsh words continued to echo in his ears.

"I've told you so many times, it's too salty! Eating too much of it will cause water retention!"

"Also, why do you use so much oil when stir-frying vegetables?"

"If you can't make money, you can't even cook well."

"Liu Changcun, what exactly are you capable of accomplishing?"

"It's just trash!"

Lin Wanran looked at her husband with eyes full of disdain.

She had no idea when her marriage had turned out this way.

My colleagues' husbands or boyfriends would take their wives on trips to relax during their time off.

They will thoughtfully prepare all sorts of surprise gifts and also enjoy delicious food in upscale Western restaurants.

As a jewelry designer.

Lin Wanran believes that, in terms of looks alone, even at 34 years old, she is in no way inferior to her younger female colleagues.

She never revealed her marital status within the company, yet she still received invitations from men several years younger than herself.

Lin Wanran and Liu Changcun met during high school.

In her youth, Lin Wanran was attracted to a handsome and aloof young man. After pursuing him for a year, they finally got married.

The feelings of youth are pure and untainted.

Back then, Liu Changcun was handsome, academically excellent, and exceptionally tall for his age.

The girl fell in love with him, and the seemingly aloof boy also devoted himself to her after they started dating.

Their romance became a celebrated story at the school.

After graduating from high school, in order to support his girlfriend's dream.

Liu Changcun, who had better academic performance, did not go to university. Instead, he entered the workforce to pay for the university tuition for the woman he loved.

Lin Wanran saw all of this.

Moved by his words, she married him and gave birth to a baby boy during her freshman year of college.

Three years later, she gave birth to another baby girl.

She delayed completing her university studies for two years, and all her expenses during that time were paid by her husband, Liu Changcun.

However, after leaving the campus, Lin Wanran experienced a completely different world.

She gradually found that she communicated with her husband less and less.

When discussing interesting anecdotes from work, her husband was unable to provide her with appropriate feedback.

Over time, although the two still maintained the appearance of being husband and wife, their marriage had clearly developed cracks.

At the beginning of the year, Lin Wanran switched jobs to another company.

From that time on, the two of them almost never had any positive communication, and even arguing became the norm in their home.

Because she concealed her marital status within the company, and also because of her years of maintaining her appearance.

34-year-old Lin Wanran is still radiant.

Many men have expressed their affection for her, and although Lin Wanran has politely declined them, the seed of comparison has already been planted in her heart.

Time passes.

The boy of yesteryear is now middle-aged.

Although she is still considered good-looking among her peers, even the most beautiful appearance loses its novelty after so many years.

Running a bookstore, after deducting monthly expenses, I still can't save any money.

The monotonous, predictable life gradually wore down Lin Wanran's patience, having witnessed higher levels of life.

She wanted to change her social class, but Liu Changcun could no longer provide her with a better life.

Lin Wanran no longer hoped to change the other party.

She only hoped that the silent man in front of her would stop hindering her.

It hinders your progress towards a better life.

Thinking of this, the disdain in her eyes deepened, and Lin Wanran let out a long sigh, as if she had made up her mind.

With his eyes closed, he spoke coldly after a long while.

"Let's get a divorce. It's the best choice for both of us."

"..."

Liu Changcun only looked away from the dining table at this moment.

Looking at Lin Wanran beside him who had said those words, he could not detect any emotion on her face.

He looked at the other person calmly, as if he wasn't the one Lin Wanran was talking about divorcing.

"no problem."

The unexpected answer caused Lin Wanran, who had been keeping her eyes closed, to suddenly open them.

Although she had considered ending the marriage, based on her understanding of Liu Changcun, she felt he shouldn't have agreed so readily.

Looking at the man in surprise, just as Lin Wanran was wondering why he was so decisive, the man's voice came next.

"The house, the bookstore, and the children will all be mine. If you can accept that, we can go and get a divorce right now."

"..."

Lin Wanran stood there, stunned.

A few seconds later, he suddenly understood something, and the surprise in his eyes vanished without a trace.

He even said to the other party with a hint of sarcasm, "So that's why you agreed so readily."

"Fine, you can have them all. I don't care about any of them!"

The house is in an old neighborhood that's 20 years old, and the little bookstore there isn't worth much.

Having witnessed the extravagance of the wealthy, Lin Wanran no longer coveted such a small sum of money.

She watched as the man beside her offered divorce terms in an attempt to hold onto these few assets.

The last vestiges of affection they once shared as husband and wife vanished from Lin Wanran's heart at this moment.

At this moment, all she could think about was the joy of getting rid of him.

He showed no concern whatsoever for his two children who had just left the dinner table.

She hurriedly got up and went back to her own bedroom, taking out the documents she had prepared beforehand.

Looking at the man's expression, which remained unchanged.

I felt inexplicably irritable.

He looked away from the other person and spoke urgingly.

"Go now, immediately!"

----------

2006 October.

The main entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Watching Lin Wanran get into a taxi and leave, Liu Changcun silently put away the newly issued divorce certificate.

Stop and look up at the sky.

Squint to avoid the summer sun shining into your eyes.

He, who had remained calm throughout, slowly revealed a smile on his lips.

Finally...the divorce was finalized.

The 15-year marriage ended, but Liu Changcun, as one of the parties involved, showed no reluctance whatsoever.

They traveled through time.

27-year-old Liu Changcun became 34-year-old Liu Changcun.

Liu Changcun, 34, is exhausted by his marriage.

His 15-year marriage had already allowed him to dedicate all his energy to his family.

It could be said that his wife and children were everything to Liu Changcun.

However, his wife now has the idea of ​​leaving, and last week she rented a house outside, leaving only some of her belongings behind.

Extremely disappointed, Liu Changcun could not accept this outcome.

Due to changes in the weather, I developed a fever and had to stay in bed for several days.

During his illness, the 14-year-old son asked for leave from school to take care of his father.

During this period, Lin Wanran, his wife, never made an appearance.

When Liu Changcun opened his eyes again after recovering from his illness, he was no longer the man he once was.

In his previous life, Liu Changcun was a TV drama screenwriter, and it didn't take him long to figure out what had happened to him.

Having transmigrated to a parallel world, his first priority was to learn about this world.

Aside from some changes in place names and people, everything else is almost identical to the previous life.

Having just figured out what was going on in this world, Lin Wanran, who had moved out, returned home.

Liu Changcun initially did not intend to reveal his true colors today.

However, Lin Wanran deliberately nitpicked at the dinner table, determined to force him to agree to a divorce.

The Liu Changcun who once loved his wife is no longer here.

Liu Changcun no longer has any feelings of love for Lin Wanran.

If I had to say, it would be more of aversion.

After all, from the original owner's memories, he saw all the sacrifices the man had made over the years.

He lost his parents at a young age and grew up with the help of relatives.

Despite having excellent academic performance, she chose to terminate her studies because of a romantic relationship.

He worked hard to support his wife's university education.

Through hard work and perseverance, they bought a house and opened a bookstore.

Although they weren't extremely wealthy, their lives were still much better than those of ordinary people.

As for why she hasn't been able to save any money, it's all thanks to Lin Wanran's high spending over the years.

Initially, Lin Wanran's company had many colleagues from well-off families.

In order to get along well with her colleagues who had studied abroad, she, a graduate of an ordinary domestic university, bought a lot of expensive clothes and bags.

With such excessive spending, the family quickly accumulated debt, and the couple's initial conflicts began from there.

Without her husband's financial support, Lin Wanran could no longer maintain her comfortable lifestyle within the company.

Instead of blaming and mocking her colleagues, she vented her anger and resentment at home.

In such a suffocating family atmosphere, the once lively and cheerful children gradually changed in personality.

In her memory, 16-year-old Lin Wanran loved him to the core.

In reality, 34-year-old Lin Wanran hated him to the core.

At this moment, Liu Changcun looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

There was no time to reminisce about Lin Wanran, who was now a thing of the past.

Now, his two children waiting at home have become the focus of his thoughts.

After all, he had no experience being a father since he was unmarried in his previous life.

How to get along well with the children in your family...

That's what he cares about right now.
