Chapter 472 Sell the House
Wan Dongcheng’s expression was guilt-ridden and pained, as if his heart had truly been tormented during this time. Li Shiping’s heart clenched in sympathy, realizing that her husband had been under such immense mental pressure.
"Why haven’t you told me about it? Why keep all these jumbled thoughts to yourself? I’ve never blamed you; I’ve always believed that things will get better."
"Shiping, do you know that the more understanding you are, the guiltier I feel? I’ve failed to provide a good life for you and the children. You shouldn’t have to live like this. I married you to give you a better life, not to drag you into a quagmire."
"I don’t feel like you’re dragging me down. I am willing to go through this with you." Li Shiping wished she could carve out her heart and lay it in front of her husband, if only to see Wan Dongcheng return to his former self, for she was willing to endure any hardship for that.
After talking for a while, Li Shiping kept saying how willing she was to endure hardship with him, but Wan Dongcheng wasn’t pleased; instead, he became somewhat impatient.
He didn’t want to live a life of hardship at all.
Who cared for her company?
He thought that by acting more tender and pitiful, Li Shiping might change her mind and talk to her family, offer him some help, but despite all his talking, Li Shiping wouldn’t even consider that option.
Wan Dongcheng could no longer hold back and began to hint gently, "Shiping, I know you’re a good woman, not greedy for material things, but as our child grows day by day, we need to provide her a better life, right?"
"Mhm," Li Shiping nodded, still attentive to her husband’s feelings, comforting him, "But you can’t put so much pressure on yourself."
