Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Explain it clearly to me

”As long as you don’t think it’s shameful, I don’t care.”

Wen Siyuan’s tone was indifferent, he felt that Kang Li probably hadn’t taken Su Man’s recent squabble outside the yard to heart, and even thought that in Kang Li’s view, Su Man was simply making a fool of herself.

Thinking this way, naturally he wouldn’t dwell on what Su Man had said.

To be honest, he never took Researcher Zhang across the hallway, Zhang Sheng, seriously.

Zhang was seven or eight years his senior, yet his career showed little to no progress; if it were him, he would have been seeking ways to transfer out of the research institute and find suitable work elsewhere.

Rather than waste his whole life at the research institute, retiring as a junior researcher.

With these thoughts, Wen Siyuan shook his head silently and then picked up the newspaper beside him.

He wasn’t the sympathetic type, so naturally, he wouldn’t offer any advice to Researcher Zhang. After all, they were in a competitive relationship within the institute, and if he started giving what he thought was well-meaning advice, it might just make the other party suspect him of harboring ill intentions.

Besides, getting a job at the research institute was the result of great efforts and many sacrifices on the path of their scholarly pursuits, and was an opportunity not easily obtained; who would be willing to give it up halfway?

Therefore, even though Wen Siyuan might sympathize with Researcher Zhang, he wouldn’t arouse aversion by saying unnecessary things in front of him.

Moreover, he didn’t like meddling in other people’s business; it was better for everyone to just be ordinary colleagues.

Having come to this conclusion, Wen Siyuan reined in his thoughts and focused his gaze back on the newspaper, but at that moment, Su Man stepped forward and snatched the newspaper from his hands, ”Explain yourself to me clearly.” She couldn’t tolerate him ignoring her any longer!

”I don’t want to argue with you.”

Setting aside other things, particularly with Su Man currently pregnant, Wen Siyuan had lately found some of her words and actions quite intolerable and had often given her cold looks and lectures, but he was very clear that the most important thing for a pregnant woman was to have a good mood, which greatly benefits the growth and development of the fetus inside.

Based on that, he repeatedly convinced himself not to argue with his bedfellow; however, for some reason, whenever he heard his wife Su Man mention Comrade Luo’s spouse, he couldn’t help but get angry, feeling that during his month off, Su Man had become increasingly unreasonable, jealous of others for no reason and even going as far as to argue with someone outside in the yard today.

To be honest, he had recently begun to doubt whether her understanding and considerate behavior when they first got married was all an act.

But the person was someone he had agreed to marry, no matter how many faults she had now, life must go on. Otherwise, was he supposed to go down the path of divorce again?

Wen Siyuan snorted bitterly in his heart.

The previous marriage ended in divorce; he admitted that most of the fault lay with him, unable to withstand the nagging from his mother at every encounter, questioning why he was approaching thirty and still without a son, and did he want to be the laughingstock for the rest of his life?

Adding to this, he really did want a son; so, upon learning that his wife Song Ning, after having two daughters, had given birth to another girl, he bit the bullet and proposed divorce.

It was to avoid his mother’s constant nagging about wanting a grandson, which might affect his mood and lead to mistakes at work.

Divorce was quite rare at the time, and not something to be proud of, especially since there had been no such case among his acquaintances,

resulting in his divorce becoming the talk of the courtyard for a long time, with people he knew looking at him with strange eyes, as though there were thorns on his back.
