My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 2276: Chapter 2078: Gu Linxi vs Cui Jiangjing

Cui Jiangjing took a deep breath, his chiseled face calm, as if he had transformed and become mature.

“Xixi told me the same thing. I didn’t understand then, and I may not fully understand now, but I will learn to look forward.”

“Son?” Lin Ning looked surprised, both startled and delighted, tears welling up and nearly reddening her eyes. She covered her mouth, swallowed her tears, and patted the man’s back with relief, unable to hold back her excitement, repeatedly murmuring, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m not in a hurry, and your dad isn’t either. We’re all waiting for you.”

In the end, she seemed so happy that she didn’t know what to do, tears in her eyes, excitedly saying, “That old bastard too, such a happy thing and he couldn’t know right away. If he knew, who knows how happy he would be.”

After speaking, her gaze fell on Cui Jiangjing’s face, and she smiled bitterly, “You won’t come back to live here, your dad actually guessed what you were thinking. He’s also tight-lipped, and when his son resents him, he doesn’t know how to resolve it, only knowing to quietly make money, hoping to make it up to you financially. Over the years, you’ve rebelliously dated many girlfriends outside, and people have always been talking about it in front of him. Each time, he’d stand up for you and tell them, with pride, how outstanding his son is at work.”

“He’s always been proud of you!”

Was that it?

The last bit of resentment in Cui Jiangjing’s chest was gone, his perspective broadened, and he explained the whole story to Lin Ning.

After listening, Lin Ning was silent for a long time, raised her hand to touch his face, and said with a troubled expression, “Son, do you really like Lin Xi?”

“Yes.”

A low voice without a hint of hesitation.

“Suppose at first I was just curious about getting to know her. Now I understand clearly, I love her. I want to marry her and be with her for the rest of my life. In this lifetime, I will only marry her!”

“So certain?” Lin Ning clicked her tongue, then earnestly said to him, “Jiangjing, a lifetime is long; it doesn’t pass as quickly as you think. All relationships have a freshness that lasts only seven years. I’ve seen people marry for love and people like your dad and me who came together for various suitable reasons. Honestly, those who are happy in the latter kind outnumber those in the former. Love isn’t enough to sustain, and marriage is about the essentials of life. After you have kids and lose some of that romance, are you sure you can keep going?”

“Don’t you like Lin Xi?”

Lin Ning looked him in the eye and sincerely said, “I like her because you like her. Also, from a woman’s perspective, I admire girls who aren’t pretentious. She is straightforward, broad-minded, and speaks and acts without hesitation! That’s why I like her. My liking for her is not as a daughter-in-law. I know you’ll be upset by what I’m about to say, but I still have to say it, I agree with your dad that her job is just… too ordinary. Our family, though not as prominent as Shengxiao’s, is considered elite in Capital City. After she marries in, she’ll inevitably have to mingle with our social circle. Do you think she can handle the sarcasm and ridicule from others?”

Cui Jiangjing lowered his gaze, his voice hoarse, “I will only marry her.”

Her heart ached as she listened, sighed, and didn’t tell Cui Jiangjing about her private conversations with Gu Linxi.
