Chapter 841 - 325: Lu Xueqi’s Highlights
After finishing a sweet meal, the two started strolling around the villa again.The reason was that Lu Xueqi mentioned she almost got lost inside just now.
This absurd statement was something Sun Dasheng completely didn’t believe.
But after accompanying her for a round inside, Sun Dasheng discovered she wasn’t lying; her sense of direction was indeed terrible.
While walking, suddenly she would lose her sense of direction.
Seems like for her, the house being too big isn’t always a good thing.
Sun Dasheng looked at her bewildered expression and suddenly thought of something funny: "What if I decorated the house like a subway, with direction signs everywhere? Would you still get lost?"
"Huh?" Sun Dasheng’s words left Lu Xueqi a bit puzzled.
Who would actually decorate their home like a subway?
Would it still feel like home?
Living in such an environment every day, wouldn’t it feel odd?
"If the navigator doesn’t work and the signs aren’t useful, what will you do if you keep getting lost in everyday life?"
Lu Xueqi gave him a glance: "I’m just a bit lost, it doesn’t mean I’m dumb, okay? I just need to spend a few more days remembering the routes inside the house."
"How would you remember them?" Sun Dasheng curiously asked.
"Every place in the house has unique features.
Like there’s a green bamboo at this room’s door, a big pot of cactus at that room’s door. I can mentally map out these unique items to find my way."
"You’re pretty smart!" Sun Dasheng tapped her head lightly.
"Of course, if I weren’t smart, how could I make money on my own abilities?"
Bringing up earning money, Sun Dasheng pondered for a moment and asked: "Are you still running your little business from before?"
Lu Xueqi hesitated for a moment and replied: "Women should have their own careers; if they spend all day idle at home, their minds might have issues."
"Wow! You have quite a high level of awareness!" Sun Dasheng exclaimed in surprise.
"Perhaps it’s not that I’m aware, but I’ve seen a lot. I have examples around me.
I have a close friend whose husband comes from a well-off family. He treats her well but won’t let her work outside, just stays home as a housewife, looking after the kids, doing light chores, while heavier ones are handled by a maid."
This kind of life was initially quite relaxing, making us few friends envious, with no job pressure, no life pressure, just picking up and dropping off kids daily.
Then it’s afternoon tea time, a beautiful session of beauty treatments or workouts at the gym."
"Isn’t that just great?" Sun Dasheng interrupted her.
"Yes, at that time we thought it was good, she thought it was good too.
But isn’t it that things later changed?"
"What changed?" Sun Dasheng chimed in, ready to hear the gossip.
"Because this kind of life went on too long, she eventually felt mentally empty, bored, and started wanting some fun, seeking thrill."
"Seeking thrill? That doesn’t seem good for a housewife."
"Exactly! We tried advising her at first, but she wouldn’t listen, saying what’s wrong with spending time in a bar for a drink every day?"
"Indeed, it’s not much, just having drinks. Her husband knew but didn’t say anything.
Just told her to drink less, and at that time, we really envied her, such a good husband."
"He’s indeed quite nice," Sun Dasheng commented.
When a man judges another man as nice,
That man must be quite remarkable indeed.
"Yes, initially her behavior wasn’t problematic.
But things often start simply and gradually deepen, making her fall into them step by step.
Like going to the bar was just to drink and relieve loneliness because her husband was often out for business trips and not home, finding people to chat with in the bar improved her mood, right?"
"And then?" Sun Dasheng knew there was more to the story.
"Then, as you guessed." Lu Xueqi replied.
"Who exactly is ’everyone’?" Sun Dasheng asked.
"It means us good friends and her husband." Lu Xueqi answered matter-of-factly.
"Meaning, her later affairs were known by her husband then?" Sun Dasheng inquired.
"Exactly! Who would feel secure with a beautiful wife left back home while he’s off hustling outside?"
"True." Sun Dasheng nodded in agreement.
Lu Xueqi glanced at him with an ambiguous smile.
As if saying: I surely understand the little schemes men have.
"Go on." Sun Dasheng quickly redirected the conversation.
"Later, drinking, chatting, making friends, and then problems began in the conversations."
"Specifically, what kind of problems?"
"Do I really need to say? You can imagine it yourself."
"I can’t imagine; I never go to such places."
"Hehe." Lu Xueqi didn’t say what she believed, just offered a meaningful smile.
Then she continued: "Men’s affairs and women’s affairs are different.
Men usually have physical affairs but mentally they’re at home.
When women have affairs, it’s mental, not thinking about home anymore."
"That makes sense." Mr. Sun nodded.
"What happened afterward? How did it go?"
