Chapter 353 - 346: Retiring After Achievements
Life was composed of countless choices, and at every stage, different choices would lead to different lives.
Qin Guanglin thought he had already passed the age of making decisions, and the rest of his life just needed to follow its course happily since there wasn’t much left to choose—schooling, career, marriage, having children, he had already made those choices.
Yet, in early September, the start of the school season, He Fang once again presented him with a choice.
"Resign."
Five months had passed and He Fang’s belly had grown large, like a basketball was stuffed inside, sitting on the sofa required some effort, necessitating a slight lean back—she had to tilt her head back just to make eye contact with Qin Guanglin who stood beside her, and this posture suited them just right.
Qin Guanglin listened to these two words for what felt like the thousandth time, unconsciously furrowing his brows, scratching his head, feeling somewhat incomprehensible, "You need to give me a reason, a reason other than not wanting change—changes that needed to happen have happened; it can’t be exactly like another timeline, this reason isn’t enough."
Seeing that He Fang didn’t speak, he sighed, squatting down and taking her hand, "Since we’ve started anew, it means a brand new life, we have to look forward. Didn’t you say before? You hoped I would do a job I love, and I really like this job. As a man, a man about to enter middle age, I can’t give up work..."
"You like drawing comics," He Fang interrupted. "Drawing in the company and at home are the same."
"I can’t draw at home!"
Qin Guanglin felt like pulling his hair out, why was it so hard to communicate with a pregnant woman?
Arguing logic with a Time Traveler + pregnant woman + wife of two lifetimes was driving him crazy; it probably was a unique case in the world—yet he had been bickering intermittently about such a trivial matter as work for years.
