Chapter 223 Lu Ning who cannot be avoided!
Qin Huairu knew in her heart that as long as Sha Zhu remained single, she would continue to get help from him and her family would be protected.
She secretly swore in her heart that no matter what, she would hold on to Sha Zhu as her long-term meal ticket.
Xu Damao felt a little uneasy. When he saw Qin Jingru agreed to be with him again, he felt both happy and a little gloomy.
Knowing that he was indeed infertile, this secret weighed on his mind and became his biggest pain.
When he was with Qin Jingru, he was always very cautious, fearing that she would notice any clues.
Qin Jingru followed Xu Damao back to his home, and everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before.
Their lives seemed calm on the surface, but Xu Damao's heart was turbulent.
He kept thinking about how to cover up the truth and how to make Qin Jingru believe his lies.
He began to treat Qin Jingru more attentively and tried his best to make her feel happy and satisfied.
However, Qin Jingru is not a stupid person.
Perhaps she already knew Xu Damao's situation, but chose to pretend not to know in order to maintain the relationship.
He coveted Xu Damao's city dweller status and yearned for the stability and convenience of city life.
After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she finally decided to continue to be with Xu Damao. After all, she felt that this was much better than returning to the countryside to live a hard life.
As the days passed, Xu Damao began to feel the pressure.
Qin Jingru knew that she could not avoid this problem and that sooner or later she would discover the truth.
So he began to secretly ask around for any folk remedies, or to ask doctors if there was any possibility of a cure.
But all these attempts were in vain, and the doctors always gave him the same answer: his condition was incurable.
In order to cover up his insecurity, Xu Damao worked harder, trying to make up for his shortcomings in the family with career achievements.
He often worked overtime and even asked to go on business trips, just to avoid facing Qin Jingru's gaze at home.
The guilt and pressure in his heart grew day by day and even began to affect his health.
Qin Jingru also began to notice the changes in Xu Damao.
Looking at his increasingly thin figure, I felt both pity and a little dissatisfaction.
I gradually realized that I might never have a complete family and experience the joy of being a mother.
I began to reflect on my original choice and whether it was worth sacrificing so much for a city hukou.
The gap between the two gradually deepened, and Xu Damao's lies were like an invisible high wall, standing between them.
Although on the surface they are still a loving couple, they each have their own secrets and difficulties in their hearts.
Although Qin Jingru understood Xu Damao's situation, she was unwilling to break the window paper. After all, she had her own plans.
The days passed one by one in contradiction and forbearance.
Xu Damao and Qin Jingru are both trying hard to maintain this seemingly harmonious relationship, but in their hearts they are both looking forward to a turning point, an opportunity to escape their predicament.
However, this turning point seems to be a long way off, and they can only continue on this road full of lies and concealment.
Sometimes, Xu Damao would toss and turn in the middle of the night, thinking about his past when he was young and wondering why he had come to this point today.
He began to reflect on what he had done and whether it was really worth it to continue deceiving Qin Jingru for a false happiness.
I even thought about confessing everything to her, but every time the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.
Qin Jingru often shed tears silently when she was alone.
I regret my original choice, but I am powerless to change the current situation.
I gradually realized that maybe I could only make the best of this relationship and continue to live this seemingly happy life.
I also began to try to find my own happiness, such as devoting myself to some hobbies in an attempt to divert my attention.
Xu Damao and Qin Jingru spent their lives hiding things from each other and enduring things in silence.
They all pray silently in their hearts, hoping to be freed one day, but reality cruelly traps them in this endless game of deception.
Their story may be just an insignificant microcosm of thousands of families, but for them, it is a heavy reality of life.
Despite this, they continue on this path because they have no other choice.
In this marriage full of lies and forbearance, they gradually learned to accept and adapt, and learned to find a little comfort in each other's concealment.
Xu Damao will still take good care of Qin Jingru, and Qin Jingru will still smile in front of him.
Perhaps this is the only way they can continue.
Xu Damao and Qin Jingru's lives gradually returned to normal. Although Lu Ning's pranks once gave them a lot of headaches, in recent times, Lu Ning has been behaving himself and has not shown any frightening behavior.
This made Xu Damao and Qin Jingru feel relieved psychologically.
Despite this, Qin Jingru still felt a little uneasy. She would think of those nights when she was frightened from time to time, and her heart always ached.
Xu Damao also noticed her worry, and he tried to comfort her: “Don’t worry, Jingru.
Hasn't Lu Ning been causing any trouble in recent times? Maybe he has given up. "
Qin Jingru forced a smile and said, "I hope so.
But I always feel that things won’t be that simple.”
Xu Damao patted the back of her hand and said firmly: "No matter what, I will protect you.
We can’t be intimidated by him.”
In the following days, Xu Damao tried his best to avoid contact with Lu Ning and to avoid provoking trouble.
He understood that the reason why Lu Ning settled down was probably because they did not create any more opportunities for him.
But whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xu Damao would still remain vigilant, checking around from time to time to make sure everything was normal.
That night, Qin Jingru suddenly woke up from her dream, her face pale.
Xu Damao immediately noticed her abnormality and asked softly, "What's wrong, Jingru? Did you have a nightmare?"
Qin Jingru nodded, her voice trembling: "I dreamed that Lu Ning came to scare us again. He stood outside the window, staring at us intently..."
Xu Damao hugged her tightly and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream.
Lu Ning doesn't dare to cause trouble anymore."
Despite Xu Damao's efforts to comfort her, Qin Jingru's mood did not improve much.
