Chapter 219 Quiet Afternoon
Mo Yinchuan has been gifted since childhood. His sharp and intelligent eyes seem to be able to see through everything. Jiang Tiantian appears to be introverted and calm. She is not noisy and does not hang out with others. She does not talk about other people's right or wrong, nor does she talk about her own merits. She is as quiet as air on weekdays, concentrating only on her own research and academics, as well as accompanying her family and children.
Jiang Tiantian seems to have a very good personality, but in fact she has an extremely sensitive and fragile heart. She always over-protects herself, as if everything in the outside world may hurt her. This self-enclosed behavior makes her seem a little timid and afraid of things, and she avoids anything that may cause trouble.
Therefore, Mo Yinchuan, who saw through the core, did not look down on Jiang Tiantian. On the contrary, Mo Yinchuan understood the fear and anxiety deep in Jiang Tiantian's heart.
Jiang Tiantian grew up in a single-parent environment. Although her mother Jiang Yun did her best to provide financial support to Jiang Tiantian, Jiang Tiantian, who was smart and sensitive by nature, understood from a young age that it was not easy for her mother to run her own business and manage the lives of her and her mother. Therefore, when she was outside, Jiang Tiantian always preferred to do less, because any matter that was beyond the normal order of life would be time-consuming, laborious, and stressful to handle. Jiang Tiantian knew from a young age that she should try her best not to burden her mother with time and energy costs.
Jiang Yun undoubtedly loves her daughter and is a responsible mother, but at the same time, Jiang Yun is also a workaholic...
A woman has to achieve economic goals, accompany her children, and achieve academic success, and each of these requires time and energy...No matter whether it is a man or a woman, it is impossible to do both in the same time period, and Jiang Yun is naturally unable to do so.
When there is a conflict between identity and responsibilities, obligations, etc., she also needs to make choices and prioritize new time allocation.
At that time, Jiang Yun did not have the influence in the academic world that she does now. In the early stages of her career, in order to balance work and family, Jiang Yun made sure Jiang Tiantian understood from an early age that sometimes she could be relied on, but sometimes she needed to be brave and independent.
This has shaped Jiang Tiantian's current personality, where she doesn't want to trouble others and also tries not to create trouble for herself.
Everyone has their own weaknesses and past, and Jiang Tiantian's sensitive, fragile, brave yet cowardly character is the result of all the experiences she had during her growth, a character that is formed in the most favorable way for her and Jiang Yun to grow together.
There is no right or wrong in personality. Jiang Tiantian is just not used to taking the initiative. This lack of initiative includes breaking her own original rhythm of life, and she also does not take the initiative to break the rhythm of other people's lives. What Mo Yinchuan sees is that Jiang Tiantian does not take the initiative to advance or retreat in their marriage relationship. Everything is left to Mo Yinchuan to lead, arrange and control.
At this moment, Jiang Tiantian suddenly admitted that she was feeling troubled. Mo Yinchuan was overjoyed, but at the same time, he chose to carefully protect and encourage her.
This was to prevent Jiang Tiantian's courage, which had just begun to emerge, from being dampened, and making her less proactive in their relationship. This was what Mo Yinchuan least wanted to see.
Mo Yinchuan saw Jiang Tiantian's cautious lifestyle and felt an indescribable heartache. Mo Yinchuan was just annoyed that fate made him appear in Jiang Tiantian's life a little late, and he did not enter Jiang Tiantian's life earlier to protect her cautiously.
The past is gone. Mo Yinchuan is willing to show the utmost patience towards Jiang Tiantian's slowness, waiting for Jiang Tiantian to slowly let go of herself and learn to act more freely around him.
"Oh——" Jiang Tiantian nodded to show that she understood.
Strictly speaking, Jiang Tiantian and Mo Yinchuan both have a special ability, which is to stop the conversation with just a few words, as if their words have a magical power that can instantly freeze the atmosphere of communication. However, surprisingly, although they are often silent, they can feel a fulfilling and warm companionship in each other's hearts.
This kind of companionship does not come from endless conversations, but from a tacit understanding. They do not need to use words to express their feelings to each other, because their hearts have long been connected. In silence, they can read each other's eyes, smiles and subtle movements. These silent exchanges are deeper and more real than any words.
Even without a conversation, they could feel each other's presence, and this sense of presence was like an invisible force that supported their hearts. When they sat together quietly, the world around them seemed to become quiet, with only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats intertwined to form a beautiful melody.
This inability to speak out does not make them feel lonely or awkward, but makes their relationship more unique and precious. In this noisy world, it is a rare happiness to find someone who can accompany you silently.
Workaholic Mo Yinchuan was originally a person who was extremely enthusiastic about work and wanted to split the 24 hours a day into 72 hours. However, since he became a husband, everything has changed dramatically.
Mo Yinchuan no longer worked as hard as before, but began to yearn for early retirement and stay away from the turmoil of government affairs. He spent more time and energy on getting along with Jiang Tiantian, spending the whole day with her, enjoying the sweet time of the two of them.
This change is a brand new experience for Mo Yinchuan. He finds that life with Jiang Tiantian is full of fun and warmth. They read books, watch movies, take walks, and share each other's joys and sorrows.
Mo Yinchuan gradually realized that there are many other important things in life besides work, and the time spent with his loved ones is priceless.
Mo Yinchuan spent the entire afternoon reading quietly with Jiang Tiantian under the shade of a tree in the backyard. Mo Yinchuan would occasionally answer particularly important calls and reply to urgent emails that could not be postponed. Jiang Tiantian did not bring any phone or computer with her, only a paper book in her hand, and on the side of the phone were some exquisite snacks and tea in case she needed them at any time.
The two of them spent an afternoon in this way, ordinary and yet extraordinary. They didn't communicate much during the process. Only Mo Yinchuan occasionally put his face and ears on Jiang Tiantian's belly, mumbling something nonsense to her belly like a big fool.
Jiang Tiantian never expected that Mo Yinchuan, who exuded dignity in every cell of his body, had such a childish side. Jiang Tiantian saw it all and said nothing, but her heart felt sweet as if it was soaked in honey.
