Chapter 392 - Action Time (1/2)

A relationship has a 'ship' in it. Have you ever wondered why?

Because two people have to board that ship together and even through storms, they have to make sure that any external storm doesn't get to tear them down. Marriage is also a ship where when we encounter a storm, we can't just abandon the ship. And the storm in marriage is often spelled T-I-M-E.

In a way, time is a challenge in married life.

In their nine years of marriage, Xu Mey and Jie also faced that challenge of time. Both had their own professional responsibilities that made them stay often apart. And other factors were their respective families.

Jie now being the head of the Zhu Family, had a lot of responsibilities. While Xu Mey had to find time for all her friends and her own father and brother. It was a huge relief that her in-laws weren't very demanding and also Jie was the one helping her with Zhu Family's matters. The rest of the time that they had, they'd end up spending it with their kids which was necessary. Their kids had become a priority they couldn't deny.

The biggest challenge was finding time for each other. A time where they were all alone in the company of each other and lost in each other.

*Eight Years Later*

Sitting in a dimly lit restaurant, Jie's eyes were staring at his wife who was so engrossed in the menu that it was agitating. In such a romantic restaurant, she had the heart to look at the menu like it was more important than the handsome husband asking for her attention. But he wasn't receiving any from his heartless wife.

They had fixed a day for a date once a week. Even though life was hard but there was no doubt that their love was sweet. Sweeter than it had ever been. But even after all these years, if one asked both of them 'What marriage is?' they definitely wouldn't be able to answer that. Because for them, they were still treading through this journey called marriage.

And this journey had its ups and downs. It had all the happiness but it had a variety of sadness as well. But it was their journey, how could it not be worthwhile?

"Baby, is the menu more important or your husband?" Jie finally questioned as he was really tired of Xu Mey's behavior.

"Ah-Jie, right now this menu is really important," was Xu Mey's reply.

"We are out on a date after a month. First, I was on a business trip then you had to leave for a while. We are only getting this time to spend with each other, and you're telling me that this menu is more important than spending this time with your husband?" Jie felt hurt and disappointed. He was so looking forward to tonight.

"Even Little Juan and Little Bao don't act as needy as you're right now," Xu Mey scowled at him and shifted her eyes back to the menu in her hand.

Jie leaned back in his chair and crossed his hands over his chest. Seeing how she was still ignoring him, he said, "If you kept up this act, I'm gonna... Find a girlfriend for myself."

Xu Mey lifted her eyes slightly and said, "Don't forget you have a wife and two 8 years old kids."
