Love Allows No Forcing

"It's difficult for you, and she's just like you,"

"What a pity! Don't be too sad. Maybe after a good sleep, things will change when you wake up tomorrow,"

"I hope so,"

"Then you should rest early. Good night,"

"Good night,"

Ji Minze hung up the phone, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked at their wedding photo in front of the bed.

They used to smile brightly, but unfortunately, that was in the past, not now.

They had been separated and reunited many times. Fate kept making them play hide - and - seek, but every time they couldn't find each other within the specified time, so the game went on.

Their love seemed too fragile to withstand a single blow.

Once there was a disturbance, it would immediately shatter.

And yet they still couldn't seem to let go of each other's hands,

Whether it was him with deep memories,

Or her who had forgotten everything!

Somehow, they would always meet, and then naturally say: What a coincidence!

The message notification sound of the phone rang. He opened the inbox and saw a message from Tang Lei.

The message was very brief, with only one sentence: Yesterday was our son's first birthday, but you forgot!

He pressed a few buttons on the phone and replied with a brief message: I'm very sorry! Please convey my belated happy birthday wish to him!

Our son!

This was indeed a true statement,

But he found it so glaring!

In the past year, he hadn't visited the child even once. It wasn't that he didn't feel guilty, but he really couldn't accept this child.

He knew that the child was innocent!

But this child constantly reminded him that he had betrayed Yiren, even though this mistake wasn't intentionally made by him.

His phone received a MMS.

Ji Minze opened it to view the picture.

It was a photo taken on Tang Yiyang's first birthday,

A handsome boy who looked very much like himself.

Ji Minze closed the phone, threw it on the sofa, and turned to walk into the bathroom.

He turned on the showerhead and let the cold water pour over his head directly.

No matter what he did, it seemed to be wrong.

He wanted to be with Yiren,

But she couldn't forgive him!

He felt guilty towards the child,

But he couldn't force himself to be with Tang Lei!

He was walking on a single - plank bridge, unable to turn back, and even less able to move to either side. He could only numbly move forward with time.

"Assistant Dongfang, these are the latest materials of the candidates who meet the requirements. These two are more suitable. There is another one who is also very suitable, but unfortunately, it's a female!" The manager of the Human Resources Department reported to Dongfang Hao and placed the materials in front of Dongfang Hao. "However, she agreed to adjust the position, so she is tentatively assigned as a sales assistant in the sales department of Baijia Real Estate. The specific arrangement still needs your consideration!"

"Thank you. Let me take a look first," Dongfang Hao took the resume, opened it, and browsed through it. When he turned to the third one, he paused for a moment. "Is this the female candidate you mentioned?"

Dongfang Hao pointed to Yiren's resume and asked.

"Yes," The manager of the Human Resources Department replied.

"Let her be the president's secretary. You can issue the personnel order and ask her to come to work tomorrow morning," Dongfang Hao handed the materials to the manager of the Human Resources Department and instructed.

"But Assistant Dongfang Hao, didn't the president specify that he wants a male?" The manager of the Human Resources Department said hesitantly.

"If the president blames us, just say that I instructed you to do it. Just follow the order," Dongfang Hao raised his head and said to the manager of the Human Resources Department.

"Okay! Then I'll go down first,"

"Yeah," Dongfang Hao nodded.

What would happen next? They could only wait and see.

At the Long Mansion, during dinner,

"I'm going to start working tomorrow," Yiren announced to her family.

"Where are you going to work?" Yan Ziyun asked vaguely, with her mouth full of food.

"It's hard to imagine if you'll still be like this after you enter the Yu family," Yiren didn't answer but exclaimed.

Her sister never knew what courtesy and elegance were!

"That's why I don't want to go. You don't know how strange the Yu family is. They even pay attention to dining etiquette when having a meal!" Yan Ziyun still had her mouth full of food.

"By the way, how could Yu Hanxi let you come back and live here?" Yiren asked in confusion. Yu Hanxi could never do anything about Yan Ziyun, so he often used extreme measures to bring her back to the Yu family, such as kidnapping.

"I told him that I'm going skiing in Switzerland for a week," Yan Ziyun said without even looking up.

"Did he agree?" Yiren said in surprise. It was rare for Yu Hanxi to let Yan Ziyun travel alone.

"No. But I left him a note when he went to work and then slipped away. I even specially bought a plane ticket to Switzerland. I went to so much trouble just to make him believe that I'm on vacation in Switzerland," Yan Ziyun said after swallowing the food.

"Don't you think you're going a bit too far?" Yiren still didn't quite approve. Although Yu Hanxi was a bit overbearing, it wasn't necessary for Yan Ziyun to use deception to return to her parents' home, right?

"How could it be? You don't know what he's up to," Yan Ziyun said through gritted teeth.

"What's he up to?"

"He just wants me to get pregnant. He doesn't know how painful it is to give birth. I don't want that,"

"He's your husband," Yiren reminded her.

Sometimes, pain comes from being too rational and too clear - headed. In fact, not all things can be solved rationally. Rationality is not omnipotent.

True love allows no forcing or grievance. Once there is a feeling of forcing or grievance, the beautiful essence of love is lost.
