"What?!"

Wang Dashan was completely bewildered.

Now that it was already this time, Du Xiaojuan suddenly changed her mind and said she wouldn't go to his home for the Spring Festival, so how was he supposed to explain things to his parents back home?

His anger immediately surged, and he really wanted to curse.

However, the last shred of reason in his heart kept him restrained.

It wasn't that he was so tolerant, nor that he loved Du Xiaojuan so much.

It was simply because he knew that the moment he opened his mouth to scold Du Xiaojuan, everything might be irreparable.

No matter what, they had to wait until after the Spring Festival to discuss it.

He wouldn't allow any mistake in his arrangements; he couldn't afford to lose this face.

"Hah..." Wang Dashan took a deep breath, then did his best to suppress his emotions and took the initiative to apologize:

"Xiao Juan, it's my fault. I shouldn't have treated you that way, but isn't this because I'm worried about you? Don't be angry, okay..."

Wang Dashan lowered his posture so that Du Xiaojuan wouldn't throw a tantrum.

If Du Xiaojuan really didn't come to his house at this time, the matter would be serious.

"Wang Dashan, remember this: with my conditions, I could have found a man a hundred times better than you and a thousand times more excellent, but I chose to be with you, a poor wretch who hasn't been out in society for long, not for anything else, but because I truly love you. Don't think that because I love you, you can act without fear. My love has edges and sharpness. You can doubt anything about me, but you cannot doubt my loyalty to love!"

Du Xiaojuan was also aggrieved. All along, she had been trying to accommodate Wang Dashan, being considerate and tolerant of him everywhere, even willing to cook and make dishes for him. As a result, Wang Dashan not only failed to feel gratitude but also gave her this attitude. How could this not make her lose her temper?

She also had her bottom line and her dignity.

"It's my fault. I admit I was wrong. Isn't this also because I care about you too much? If I didn't care about you, I wouldn't bother with so much. I've already apologized to you. Let's just let this matter go, okay? Hurry up and take the bus to my hometown. There's a terrible traffic jam on the road today. I'm worried that if you leave too late, you'll be stuck until late at night before arriving."

Du Xiaojuan actually didn't want to escalate the conflict. She truly wanted to date Wang Dashan, so she was willing to tolerate and accept many of his small faults. As long as Wang Dashan could correct his mistakes, she wouldn't quibble over so much.

So she said:

"Fine. Then I'll go back to the apartment to tidy up a bit, and then set off."

Du Xiaojuan hung up the phone and immediately rushed back to the apartment to pack her luggage.

After Wang Dashan hung up the phone, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn it!"

Wang Erhai beside him immediately looked surprised and hurriedly asked with concern:

"Big Brother, what happened?"

Wang Dashan's expression was very ugly. He said:

"My eldest sister-in-law suddenly threw a tantrum and said she didn't want to come. I coaxed and persuaded her, and only then did she agree to come, making it seem as if I was begging her to come!"

Although in reality it was he who had begged Du Xiaojuan to come, he didn't think so in his heart. Instead, he felt this was giving Du Xiaojuan a chance to win his sincerity.

"Heh heh, Big Brother, don't be angry. Is there some misunderstanding between you two? If there's a misunderstanding, just talk it out..."

Wang Erhai kindly advised him.

But Wang Dashan got angrier the more he spoke:

"What misunderstanding could there be? I see that in her heart she just doesn't want to come. It was agreed long ago that we'd go home together today. I finally managed to help her buy a bus ticket, but she tells me she has to meet with a partner today, completely disregarding what I said. She's meeting with a partner—couldn't she choose another time? Even if she confirmed this time, couldn't she tell me in advance? She had to wait until I bought the ticket before telling me!"

Wang Dashan had always had complaints about this matter.

In reality, the two of them had a communication problem. It was originally just a small problem, but now it kept growing, and they almost quarreled over it, even escalating to a trust issue.

"Big Brother, my eldest sister-in-law is a good person. She's beautiful and virtuous, and also very simple and friendly. Give her more tolerance. There are still many days ahead."

As a brother, Wang Erhai naturally advised his own big brother to be more tolerant. After all, Wang Dashan had finally found such an excellent girlfriend as Du Xiaojuan.

However, Wang Dashan coldly said:

"Simple my ass. I think she's very scheming. Before, a rich woman wanted to invest in my company, but she insisted I choose one or the other—if I didn't choose her, she'd withdraw. She forced me to choose her, and in the end, she even deleted all the rich woman's contact information, making me miss out on such a great connection!"

Wang Dashan spoke with indignation.

Although all the choices were actually decisions he made himself, Du Xiaojuan later even voluntarily suggested he continue cooperating with Cheng Cheng.

Deleting Cheng Cheng's contact information was even more his own initiative. Du Xiaojuan didn't say a word about it.

But now Wang Dashan firmly believed in his heart that everything was Du Xiaojuan using certain means to force him to make such choices.

Nowadays, whenever he and Du Xiaojuan had some conflict, he would involuntarily compare Du Xiaojuan with Cheng Cheng. This comparison would make him feel very unbalanced in his heart, making him feel it was a great pity to have lost a woman like Cheng Cheng.

This immature psychology of his is something many immature young men and women have when they are in love.

They think that since they've been in contact before, they have a chance to get someone better.

Under the subconscious comparison, they feel their current partner is unsatisfactory in every way.

But they don't know that the person they thought they had a chance to get is just a perfect figure they fabricated in their minds. Even if they got that person in reality, they would still live unhappily, because they would compare with another person they didn't get.

"Big Brother, you should calm down. Anyway, I think my eldest sister-in-law is quite good. During the time you were doing real estate sales, she came to Hao Ge's shop several times. She often brought us delicious food and often cared about your affairs. I can tell she truly loves you. Now the Spring Festival is coming soon. Please don't quarrel and be unhappy over some small things."

Wang Erhai kindly advised him.

In his view, a girl like Du Xiaojuan who is beautiful, rich, and gentle—he might not meet such a person in his entire life. His big brother had met her, and if he didn't know how to cherish her, that would be a pity.

Wang Dashan grunted in acknowledgment.

He didn't want to quarrel either; he just felt a bit unconvinced in his heart.

During the great Spring Festival, who doesn't want to be happy?

No matter what the matter is, they have to wait until after the Spring Festival to discuss it.

The traffic jam on the expressway became increasingly severe. The long-distance bus crawled forward slowly and finally came to a stop, motionless.

"The traffic jam is too severe. I don't know when we'll be able to get home..."

Wang Erhai sighed.

Wang Dashan was worried instead: with things blocked so badly, would Du Xiaojuan not even reach his house by evening?
