Chapter 256 - 252: Bad Premonition
Qin Guanglin was proud of his promotion.
He Fang had always led a life that was neither warm nor fervent, attending classes, writing novels, and seeming quite content with this lifestyle, rarely caring about his income—at least she never did until he brought it up, only then responding perfunctorily with apparent indifference.
He Fang might have been indifferent, but it mattered greatly to him.
As the family pillar—well, the future family pillar— a man’s confidence often stemmed from his income. If she could earn as much as him by casually writing novels, while keeping the home in perfect order, he would only be able to assert himself at night.
Though he could accept such a life, it didn’t sit well with him... Maybe it was a bit of chauvinism, but Qin Guanglin felt that since He Fang already excelled at being a woman in every aspect, he, as a man, should excel at men’s responsibilities.
Building a family and career, the family was He Fang’s domain, and the career was his; that was the best way for two people to get along.
—It wasn’t about pursuing equality with clear boundaries but about a man’s duty and responsibility.
Now brimming with confidence, he halted his talk of future plans, stopped the car at a red light intersection, looked up, and said, "Let’s go eat lobster!"
"I’m allergic to lobster."
"Then shark fin soup!"
"Not tasty."
