Five days a month, or five days a week

  He quietly walked away without making a sound.

  Qian Tao followed behind, helplessly watching his back, and finally left with a sigh. Rong Qian's heart was not feeling well, but he had always been an introverted man, even Qian Tao couldn't see his sorrow or joy.

  Betrayal and unrighteous things, Qian Tao didn't want to do either, but this matter really involved too many people.

  Qian Tao couldn't help but say: "Rong Dong, you can't delay any longer! You can't drag it out for three to five years, or he'll tie you up in bed with a woman."

  Shut the door of the office, tall and straight, leaning lazily on the balcony, gazing at the autumn wind and floating clouds.

  Like stars in her eyes, filled with thoughts that others can't guess.

  A cigarette burns out in silence.

  After a while, he came in, stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, sat down and started on a new task.

  In the early evening, he got off work early. He arrived at Yingyue Garden but didn't get out of the car, lazily sitting inside and staring at the figures in the sales office of Yingyue Garden.

  Elegant and refined, with a gentle smile like a flower.

  Pity and admiration have nothing to do with romance.

  When it was time to get off work, Qiao Yunxue came out. Holding her handbag and looking around, she seemed to be looking for Yanzi's BMW, but when she saw the Audi, she immediately smiled with curved eyebrows and walked towards him with a light step. She sat down beside him with a big smile, squinting her eyes: "A man who has been promoted is really different, he even has the mood to pick up his wife now."

  A faint smile, gentle and humble, stepped on the accelerator, taking her home.

  "I want to give the swallow potato noodles, I have to go buy potatoes." Down at the vegetable market edge, Qiao Yunxue smiled and got off the car, disappearing from his sight.

  She has been in a good mood recently. Su Qinglan is not as agile as her, nor as professional, sales need experience. She does. Of course, she's also in a good mood because she hasn't seen Luo Shaofan appear recently.

  Rong Qian returned home and entered his study.

  When Qiao Yunxue came back, the swallow also returned. As soon as she saw the potatoes that Qiao Yunxue had bought, she jumped over in surprise: "Sister-in-law, these small potatoes are just one bite each!"

  The potatoes are as big as eggs, and even Swallow can't eat one in a mouthful. Poof! Laughed, Qiao Yunxue winked at Swallow: "Boiled noodles need this kind of potato. Small potatoes are fragrant!"

  Wash and clean it thoroughly, put the whole thing with skin into the pot to cook until it's well done, then peel off the skin, cut it in half, cook again, and add noodles.

  Soon, the swallow on the dinner table sighed endlessly: "Indeed, there's a chicken flavor to these potato noodles. Sister, don't go sell apartments anymore, just open a noodle restaurant instead. I love you, sister."

  The praised sister-in-law was also happy: "Eat, it's not every time you have a good mood to eat this."

  "Uh-huh." Swallow ate with great satisfaction, "Sister-in-law is the best, if sister-in-law can give birth to a baby soon, sister-in-law will be perfect..."

  "Swallow!" Rong Qian put down his chopsticks, his voice carrying a hint of warning.

  The swallow shrunk its neck and pouted: "Alright, brother, I know! Sister-in-law, the brother doesn't want to force you to have a baby. The brother wants the sister-in-law to willingly give birth to a baby for him."

  Rong Qian was somewhat helpless: "Yanzi, don't speak while eating and don't talk while sleeping. If you can't do that, come to the 50th floor tomorrow to help me with some work."

  The swallow immediately shut up.

  Qiao Yunxue burst out laughing, and it turned out that Yanzi was indeed afraid of her brother. Her initial sixth sense had been correct.

  Night quietly arrived. Qiao Yunxue didn't dare to sleep on Yanzi's bed again, but also didn't dare to climb onto the master bedroom's big bed by herself, and was still looking at the view on the balcony at 12 o'clock.

  The bedroom door opened and Rong Qian walked in, gazing at the lonely figure by the window. He strolled over nonchalantly: "Thanks!"

  "Ah?" Turning around in shock, Qiao Yunxue stared at him with wide eyes.

  "The potato noodles are good, Swallow likes them." Rong Qian held her hand casually and looked at the starry sky together.

  "Ah, Swallow is easy to coax." Qiao Yunxue thought, "Yesterday, Swallow saw my mom being nice to me and almost cried. Don't worry, I'll be good to Swallow. Swallow was originally a lovely girl who makes people feel distressed."

  He gripped her hand much harder: "Yanzi is as kind as you."

  Is this praise for her? Qiao Yunxue felt a bit embarrassed, feeling the warmth of his palm, she looked away: "Sorry."

  "Oh?" Rong Qian furrowed her brow.

  She can't explain, and she can't be explained. This marriage, he was unintentional, she took the initiative. She pulled a man who didn't match her to get a marriage certificate. As a result, they really got married, she always wanted to escape, didn't want to have a baby, didn't want to fulfill her wifely duties, it's all her fault. But, she was really unintentional, and she would subconsciously make moves to distance herself from him before she even realized it.

  The autumn wind has turned a bit chilly. Feeling the warmth of his palm, Qiao Yunxue's face flushed, and she quietly slipped into the bedroom, obediently climbing onto the large bed. This place, she really liked it, from the moment she first climbed onto it, she had loved it. It was a very comfortable spot, with a sense of being in a harbor.

  She took out her own deposit book, looked at it carefully, and suddenly opened her small mouth.

  Rong Qian's face lit up with a single deposit. What if he handed over all her salary to her?

  Will you be happy to the point of losing direction?

  I'm really looking forward to it.

  But what if, after the joy, he will be kicked down by her? This sky-high lie will eventually be exposed. She is not a person who can tolerate hiding her head and showing her tail, it's hard to imagine how things will turn out when the truth comes out.

  She gave him a glance, and Qiao Yunxue couldn't help but show off: "My mom said that when I was young, no one had the spare money to buy oil paintings, business was very bad. Our family was struggling financially, I didn't eat well, so I grew up to be short."

  The cost of raising a child is high. So I must save more money now, so that I won't be unable to provide for the baby in the future.

  She loves the baby so much, with all her heart and soul wanting to be a qualified mother... In her heart, there is a soft corner where different emotions are surging. Rong Qian gently strokes her long hair: "Yanzi said that you went to rob your mom today. She also said that your mom's property will all belong to you in the future."

  Hehe, Qiao Yunxue tilted her little head: "I'm making my mom happy. Actually, I have a younger brother, but he got lost when we were young and there's been no news of him since then. We've always had the police looking for him. I keep thinking that maybe one day my brother will come back, so all the family property should go to my poor brother. So, I need to support myself. You don't have to worry, I can take care of myself."

  "Oh, I can give you my monthly salary to keep." Rong Qian raised an eyebrow.

  "No way!" She blinked, pouting, "I just need to support myself, but you have to support this house too. Besides, my salary for the past two or three months must be higher than yours, look at how well Yingyue's sales are doing, my commission might even reach a hundred thousand..."

  Qiao Yunxue suddenly covered her small mouth. Coughed, vigilantly glanced at him: "However, our ah system, I won't give you money. I want to save all the money, so that I can send my baby to the best kindergarten in the future. Boys are like princes, girls are like princesses. People love them when they see them, and flowers bloom when they see them."

  She was silent and reserved, her pale face frozen in a daze.

  She sat down, and the other side of the bed sank in. A pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist, warm. His chest was pressed tightly against her slender back.

  She tried to calm down, carefully putting away the savings book, and asked in a somewhat stifled tone: "Do you really want a baby that much?"

  "I really want a baby. My father is hoping." Rong Qian spoke softly, her breath gently brushing against her ear. Those irregular hands moved up from her waist, unknowingly stirring up her shyness and passion.

  She gritted her teeth: "I will try hard. My mom is right, I am 28 years old, even if I get pregnant now, it will be 29 when the baby is born. If we drag on any longer, it will be a high-risk pregnancy, which is not good for the child's intelligence and also not good for childbirth. Rong Qian, don't worry, I respect marriage too."

  Both of them respect marriage, will tolerate and consider each other, but absolutely never mention that sensitive word - love.

  It seems like both of them take love and marriage for granted as two separate worlds.

  His large palm slowly approached her lower abdomen, his low and husky voice seeming to have a hypnotic effect: "I know..." The Luo family said she had a low chance of getting pregnant, but she herself was completely unaware, there must be some trickery involved.

  Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Even with a 20% chance, you still have to be hopeful.

  With a slight movement in his heart, Rong Xian's fingertips gently pinched her chin, gazing into the depths of her eyes: "If..."

  She stared at him with a pouting mouth and rubbed her nose: "Speak up quickly, that's what a real man is!"

  She slightly hooked her lips, and Rong Xian touched her cheek, making her itch: "If... I'm infertile..."

  "Really?" Qiao Yunxue was shocked, blinking her eyes. But seeing how serious he looked, she calmed down, "Then my parents must be very sad, because my brother has been missing for so long and all their hopes are on me now. However..."

  Listening quietly and humbly.

  Blinking her eyes, Qiao Yunxue grasped his large palm, filled with regret and sincerity: "Having a baby is like buying lottery tickets. No one can control it. If you really can't have children, we'll earn more money and take care of ourselves in old age. You're four years older than me, so I'll definitely be able to take care of you until you're old. But I'll outlive you a bit, and when you can't move around anymore, we can go to a nursing home together. There's no other way, I married you, so I have to take responsibility for you for the rest of your life."

  She will be responsible for him for his whole life.

  Her blinking eyes were clear and distinct, so beautiful!

  With a long arm retracted, Rong Qian's eyes shone like stars, and she pressed down...

  The dull and warm days passed by one after another. The secret was pressed in Rong Qian's heart like that. His piercing eyes, which seemed to see through everything, always fell silently on her clear and distinct eyes.

  Qiao Yunxue was completely unaware. Rong Qian originally didn't like to talk, and all his actions were so normal. It's just that she felt, Rong Qian seemed to have a pair of X-ray eyes, when she wanted to retreat, he would move away from her. When she had some courage, he would come forward.

  Su Qinglan miraculously no longer bothered her. Even Lian Fangqing didn't come to take that half of the agreement.

  Jiang Qiong and Luo Haiyan did call her a few times, but Qiao Yunxue refused to answer without hesitation. Luo Shaofan didn't look for her, but often went to Longteng Garden, across the street from where she lived, and would occasionally run into her. Every time they met, Luo Shaofan would stare at her for a long time, but wouldn't say anything. Of course, she wouldn't give him the chance to speak now either; even if he did, she wouldn't listen.

  Everyone has their own family, what else can be said.

  Luo Shaofan was becoming increasingly haggard. Qiao Yuxue could hardly imagine that the man who had been so spirited and vigorous with her all those years ago, was now such a deeply worn out man.

  The only one she couldn't afford to pay was the swallow, who always stared at her with those charming Danfeng eyes and quietly pulled Qiao Yuxue from behind: "Sister, you and brother didn't work hard. If my dad knew you guys didn't work hard to have a baby, he would be very angry."

  Qiao Yunxue giggled: "Your dad is not here, don't worry." After laughing, she hid away. Rong Qian had mentioned something last time with a stutter, was it true or false? He said... if he didn't get pregnant...

  She carefully responded to the swallow, joking: "The swallow likes babies, hurry up and fall in love and get married. Look, after the New Year, it will be a 26-year-old big girl."

  "I've talked about it. And I've talked about two more." Yanziku was depressed, "But neither of them is as good as my brother,"

  So I don't want it anymore. It's better to lack than to have too much."

  Qiao Yunxue was speechless. The younger sister of a man who had a crazy infatuation with Yanzi, she didn't know how to advise him.

  Rong Qian was always busy, and during work hours, she seemed even busier than Rong Qian. Whenever there were matters to report to her superiors, Rong Qian would personally come over. However, he would always rush in and out, and as soon as he finished handling things, he wouldn't linger for a minute before returning to the Jinghua Building.

  "Are you close to the president? Are you as busy as he is?" Qiao Yunxue occasionally joked with him, "Not even a minute's delay. Busy to the point that the Secretary-General of the United Nations has to give way to you."

  "It's extremely close." With the news of Yingyue Garden being blocked, Qiao Yunxue has been busy for the past two or three months and was even promoted to manager, creating a distance between him and the sales staff, resulting in fewer gossip sources. Now everything is under his control.

  "In three months, I can almost take a long vacation, right?" Chao Rong smiled humbly, Qiao Yunxue looked forward to it, "Two days a week, eight days a month, and twenty-four days in three months. Ah, I can take a big break for a month! Please ask the supervisor for approval!"

  "If you want to rest, just let me know anytime." Rong Qian couldn't resist that smiling face.

  But Qiao Yunxue didn't take a break, she just occasionally slacked off. On weekends when Rong Qian went to work, she would take the idle Yanzi to Oil Painting Street to kill half a day. The days spent on Oil Painting Street were always exciting because Yanzi and Shu Yu would inevitably run into each other, and Yanzi was absolutely poisonous with her words, never letting up on the increasingly disadvantaged Shu Yu.

  That Xia Yu Lian who was invited by Yan Zi completely made Shu Yu unable to lift his head, Yan Zi is no longer afraid of Shu Yu.

  Shu Yu accidentally got tripped up by Yan Zi and fell onto the big road. But that heartless girl was still laughing loudly: "Indeed, a gentleman takes revenge, even if it's ten years late."

  "Come on, I just want you to be a model. But it's been almost half a year and nothing has happened as I wished, instead I've been bullied by you..."

  "Am I bullying you?" With a cold hum, Yanzi's beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed, and he went over to hug Shu Yu's arm, helping him up from the ground. He even helped Shu Yu rub his sore butt, "See how much I care about you!"

  Shu Yu, who had just been groped, immediately froze. The pure and innocent old bachelor's face turned red with rage: "Don't casually touch a man's butt, don't casually destroy a man's chastity——"

  The swallow then felt that the situation was serious and left silently.

  Qiao Yunxue burst out laughing in her mother's Sunset Gallery.

  Xia Xinqin reminded: "Your little sister is not young anymore, it's time for her to find a man and get married."

  So at night when it was time to sleep, Qiao Yunxue told Rong Qian about the events of the day one by one.

  "How did Swallow do it?" Rong Qian raised an eyebrow. Today he had something on his mind, and during the day his father came over to ask him about his views on his wife and son...

  "How did you do it? Didn't you understand?" Qiao Yunxue glared at him, but couldn't help giggling, "Like this..."

  She happily and quickly patted Rong Qian's butt.

  But was caught by him with a quick reversal, smiling and staring at her: "Indeed, it's about a man's chastity." With one stretch of his long arm, she rolled back into the crook of his elbow.

  "Wait!" Qiao Yunxue's face turned red as she dodged and hid.

  The arrow is on the string, she still has a mind to drag time. Rong Qian pulled his thin lips and stared at her.

  "That... we've been too frequent lately, it's like we're rushing to have a baby or something." She blushed and didn't dare look at him, but she didn't back down either. "I think once a week is best for us. Let's plan it out from now on."

  The corners of her mouth twitched, and she looked at him with a humble and narrowed gaze, shaking her head solemnly.

  "But there's only so much time in a month anyway!" Qiao Yunxue leaned against his arm, looking shy but clear-headed.

  "How much time? Isn't it just... those few days when Aunt Flow comes?"

  "No way!" She crawled out of his grasp, eager to calculate with him, "People go to work five days a week! This is the same. So in a month, it's four and a half weeks, which means you need to rest for nine days. Then there are over ten public holidays in a year, spread out, that's one day per month. That way, there are ten days off in a month..."

  I didn't know married life could be arranged like this?

  Qiao Yunxue said with a smile: "That's just ten days, and there are still twenty days left in the month, and five days can be used for a week."

  "That's nothing!" Qiao Yunxue continued, "Women have ten inconvenient days every month..."

  Rong Qian corrected: "Three days."

  "I said ten days and it's ten days." She raised an eyebrow, very insistent. "My aunt, who is clearer, you or me?"

  He remained silent and humble.

  "So, there are still ten days left in the month." Qiao Yunxue continued to calculate, "In these ten days, we'll take turns making decisions. Five days will be decided by you, and five days will be decided by me. So, your dominant power is only for five days a month."

  "...". Yu Rong caressed his forehead with a humble expression.

  Suddenly I wonder if she's so panicked because she has feelings for him deep down...

  "Can't it be?" Qiao Yunxue asked in a low voice. It's just right to be neither close nor distant like this.

  Rong Qian gently patted her face: "We can bear it, but the baby can't. His grandfather is still waiting for him..."
