MY LOVING MARRIAGE - Season 20 Episode 22

After being transferred to the prosecutor’s office, Qin Su was very busy with work, and she often left work very late.

Just like today, the sky had long fallen silent. In the blink of an eye, it was early evening again. Most of the colleagues in the office had already left work. Qin Su was still tidying up the preliminary plans, and the documents were quite urgent. They needed to be tidied up and handed in in the next two days, then she would send them to the Discipline Inspection Commission for approval.

She silently closed the documents in her hands and subconsciously glanced at the watch on her wrist. Only then did she realize that it was almost eight o’clock in the evening. She hurriedly pulled open a drawer at the side, took out her phone, and opened it to take a look, only then did she realize that there were already quite a few phone calls and text messages inside.

They were from Zhou Zimo, as well as her own friends. Her father, Qin Yi, also made two phone calls.

The text message that Zhou Zimo sent was to tell her that he would not be home for dinner tonight. Qin Su glanced at it and only replied with the word ‘mmm’. Then, she quickly gave Qin Yi a call.

The phone had just rung twice when the person on the other end picked up.

“Hello? Why didn’t you pick up after I called twice? What are you busy with? Haven’t you finished work yet? I will be at the entrance of your procuratorate soon. Hurry up and pack up. Come to the entrance. I will be there in about five minutes.”

Qin Yi’s voice was heard.

“The entrance of the procuratorate?”

Qin Su was a little surprised.

“Your mother’s friend came over. The house is very lively and she wants me to go back early. When I didn’t remember it before, she always gave me a hard time. I really don’t understand how I put up with her all these years. I just happened to come out to have some peace and quiet. Come have a drink with me. Alright, hurry up and pack up and wait at the entrance.”

Qin Yi gave a simple explanation before hanging up.

Qin Su was stunned for a moment, and then she felt helpless. It was clear that the couple must have quarrelled again. Almost every time they quarrelled, Qin Yi or Mei Xiaoyue would come over to look for her.

It was nothing more than Qin Yi looking for her to drink, and Mei Xiaoyue looking for her to complain.

Putting away the phone, Qin Su could only get up and quietly pack up her things. She took the coat by the side and put it over her shoulders before leaving the office.

The streetlights in front of the entrance of the procuratorate had already been lit up. Qin Su stood facing the biting cold wind with a briefcase in her hand. Not long after, the faint sound of a car approaching could be heard not far away. It was gradually approaching—

It was a black jaguar with a military license plate. It was Qin Yi’s car. It slowly came to her side and stopped. The door of the driver’s seat quickly lowered and Qin Yi’s handsome face appeared in front of Qin Su.

“Get in the car!”

After those two simple words, Qin Su walked around and opened the car door to get in. Qin Yi also quickly started the car.

“What do you want to eat? Treat me to a meal today. I left my wallet at home.” Qin Yi glanced at his daughter and coughed lightly as he said.

Qin Su was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted. She glanced at Qin Yi in surprise and asked, “Father, could it be that you specifically called me because you didn’t have the money to eat?”

“Nonsense! I left my wallet at home! I don’t want to go back and get it. What’s wrong with treating me to a meal? Where did all this nonsense come from? Don’t I pay for your meals all the time?”

Qin Yi immediately became unhappy when Qin Su asked this question. He could not hide his anger and retorted.

Qin Su frowned slightly. She carefully observed him and lowered her voice, “Father, have you given your salary card to Mother? I remember that Mother controlled your spending. You’re not safe at this level. Have you forgotten Auntie Zhu from a few years ago? Mother still has a knot in her heart because of this matter, so she will naturally watch over you more. You…”

“Do you think your Father is that kind of unreliable person?Nonsense! Rules are rules. Your Mother is paranoid. She doesn’t have any confidence in me. My salary card is with her, and I only have a thousand dollars in my wallet every month from what she gives me. She doesn’t even give me enough for cigarettes, do you see me taking it up with her?”

As Qin Yi said this, he was naturally a little unhappy.

“Mother is doing this for your own good. It’s been so many years. Think about it, actually, every time you quarrelled, she wasn’t happy either. You and Mother are always the kind who fight to win. In the end, no one wins. Also, both of you are already so old. Sometimes, I really don’t understand. Father, is there really love between you and Mother? When the two of you first got married and decided to be together, was it really because you liked each other?”

When Qin Su asked this, she also turned her head and silently looked at Qin Yi.

When he heard Qin Su, Qin Yi also paused for a moment. A stiff expression flashed across his face before he said, “Why is there no love left? When your mother was young, she was as beautiful as she is now. She was a famous beauty in the military district. There were many who liked her and wanted to marry her. It was fortunate that I acted quickly at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have you.”

“Your mother is too self-centered and doesn’t understand me well enough. Our thoughts are not on the same wavelength at all. She always despises me here and there. I am an old cadre. No matter what, I still have some dignity. How can I let her look down on me so much? What a joke! Your mother is spoiled. It’s my fault for not being calculative with her all these years. That’s why she’s getting worse! You can’t beat her or scold her, and you can’t expect her to bow down to you.”

When Qin Yi talked about this, he was filled with bitterness and anger.

“Do you really want Mother to bow down to you before you think this matter can be settled? Father, why did you marry Mother back then? Was it just to get married and have children? In all the years you’ve had, how many of them were peaceful? Sometimes, I really wish that you’d get a divorce. At least, the both of you will have a chance to live a better life.” Qin Su said with a bitter smile.

“What kind of nonsense are you saying? Divorce, divorce! You young people are too superficial in this aspect. You’re always thinking about divorce. Do you really think that a divorce can solve all your problems? Who can guarantee that the next one you find won’t be worse than this? Although your mother is very unfavorable to me, it doesn’t have to go to that extent. I’m fine. It’s not easy for your mother to remarry. No, no, she can’t remarry either. She’s already so old. How can I let her remarry? What would others think of me?”

At the mention of the word ‘divorce’, Qin Yi immediately reacted badly. He could not accept this possibility at all.

“Let me tell you, stop feeding us with such thoughts. This marriage is for a lifetime. The reason why I don’t interfere with your relationship is precisely because of this. You do what’s best for yourself, and once you’ve made a clear choice, there’s no messing around anymore.”
