Jin Ci and Li Yuan moved in with his brother's family - you see, he's not capable, but his brother takes good care of him.

　　Jin Ci's brother, Wei Jun, and his wife, Xie Yuman, already have two children, a six-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son.

　　Jin Ci and Li Yuan could only squeeze into a three-bedroom apartment with their friend's family of four.

　　Jin Ci couldn't work in the Internet industry anymore, so he applied for a job in computer sales, which is somewhat related to his field.

　　With the help of a former friend, Li Yuan reluctantly found a job at an art training institution and occasionally took on design freelance work online.

　　For ordinary people, ordinary positions can also achieve extraordinary results.

　　But Jin Ci had long been accustomed to the freedom of working hours, being in a position of authority within a team.

　　Even before becoming a boss in entrepreneurship, he was a sought-after figure in the bar, making a living through commission from alcohol sales.

　　The wine touts need to please the clients, while Jin Ci has wealthy women throwing money at him as soon as he arrives at his destination.

　　He doesn't need to take the initiative, as money flows into his pocket like water.

　　Li Yuan, on the other hand, is pampered and has never even taken the subway.

　　Her social status commands respect and instills fear in people.

　　Service personnel bow and scrape for money in front of her, but when it's her turn to serve her parents and children, facing the difficulties from the other party, this stark difference is enough to make her collapse.

　　These are only parts of their work, what truly becomes unbearable for Li Yuan is the life outside of work.

　　In educational institutions, she can hypnotize herself into thinking she's a respected teacher.

　　After work, everything reminds her that the past glory and wealth are just a passing illusion.

　　It's the subway that's so crowded it's like canned sardines, it's the mixture of sweat, urine, dampness, and musty smell in the alleys, it's the cramped three-bedroom apartment, it's the queuing for showers...

　　It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

　　Having been accustomed to a heavenly life, coming back to reality is the cruelest trial for them.

　　However, I believe they will be able to overcome these difficulties, after all, with love, one can find satisfaction even when drinking water.

　　But things don't go according to plan.

　　Jin Ci, who initially took on household chores by himself, always finds excuses to avoid them now, using work schedules as reasons, even going as far as making Li Yuan wash his underwear and socks with a spoiled attitude.

　　Li Yuan is particularly delighted, thinking that Jin Ci's spoiled behavior is adorable.

　　Over time, doing household chores became Li Yuan's responsibility.

　　Li Yuan started to feel unhappy, and she embraced Jin Ci from behind, speaking in a soft and coquettish tone, "Honey, can't you help out with some household chores? My shoulders are so sore..." However, Jin Ci evaded the topic, looking left and right, saying, "Then let me massage your shoulders." He repeatedly avoided the issue.

　　Unable to bear it any longer, Li Yuan purposely forgot to do the household chores.

　　This action led to Xie Yuman's dissatisfaction.

　　She had always had objections to accommodating Jin Ci and Li Yuan in the first place, but at least in the beginning, Li Yuan could help her with some household chores and take care of the children.

　　But now, with six people in the household, all the chores fell on her.

　　She planned to talk to Li Yuan about it, but on that day, Li Yuan was in a bad mood and ignored her.

　　The two children also kept bothering her, and Xie Yuman's emotions reached their peak at that moment.

　　She roared at the two children to be quiet and then snatched the coffee from Li Yuan's hand, pouring it into the kitchen sink.

　　"Still thinking of yourself as a princess?" "Did going to university fry your brain? You can't even do the basic things properly, your husband really has bad luck to have a wife like you for eight lifetimes." "If you dare to be lazy today, you'll dare to steal someone's man tomorrow!" If someone didn't know, they would think it was a wicked mother-in-law scolding her daughter-in-law.

　　Xie Yuman vented all the anger she couldn't direct at her husband onto Li Yuan.

　　Even though they were the same age, why did Li Yuan dress up and have the leisure to drink coffee, while she struggled to even clean herself properly because of taking care of the two children, often appearing disheveled.

　　Li Yuan remained cold and silent, her expression filled with contempt.

　　When Xie Yuman finished venting, Li Yuan spoke calmly, "You can just have the guards kick us out, oh wait, I forgot, you can't even control the guards' mouths." "Your husband says he wishes he could be like Jin Ci." Li Yuan calmly picked up her bag, turned around, and walked out the door.

　　Wai Jun said some vulgar nonsense to Li Yuan.

　　Considering their relationship with Jin Ci and Li Yuan's temporary stay at their house, she could only treat it as drunken rambling.

　　When they returned home at night, Jin Ci ignored the tense atmosphere.

　　It was only when Li Yuan complained to him, hoping that he would join her in solidarity, that Jin Ci expressed his opinion: "You're being a bit excessive.

　　Even Xiao Xie, who has a good temper, got angry.

　　Apologize to her tomorrow, and things will be resolved.

　　She won't hold grudges.

　　As for Wai Jun, he's used to being flirtatious.

　　Don't take it seriously." Self-pitying breakups, parents' words of advice, risking everything for love, being forced to leave luxury...

　　none of these could wake Li Yuan up.

　　However, Jin Ci's support to outsiders dealt her a heavy blow.

　　It was like a bucket of icy water poured from above, drenching her completely.

　　Clearly, she was the closest person to him, but he instinctively stood against her.

　　Li Yuan began to regret.

　　She stared at the man in front of her—his greasy hair, messy appearance, his constantly furrowed brows revealing impatience, and the indelible stains on his white vest.

　　Did she lose everything for this man in front of her? Li Yuan ran out of the house in despair.

　　She took shelter at a colleague's house and asked Jin Ci for some time apart to calm down.

　　During this period, she spent all day in tears, making call after call to her family from different people's phones.

　　"Mom and Dad, I really know I was wrong." "I am a terrible daughter, if I could go back in time, I would never choose to get married." "Mom...

　　I am really in pain, these days are so hard to endure." So much so that Li Yuan's parents would hang up immediately upon hearing her voice.

　　She resorted to sending numerous texts from unfamiliar phone numbers, each word filled with tears and sorrow.

　　Faced with Jin Ci's relentless pursuit and persuasion, she remained unmoved.

　　But in this terrible situation, Li Yuan discovered that she was pregnant.

　　Jin Ci took advantage of the situation and ultimately used sweet lies to coax her back.

　　They reconciled and moved out to rent an apartment.

　　In the beginning, I could still see Li Yuan's joyful updates on social media.

　　"I wondered why I started craving sour things recently, turns out I have an extra heartbeat." "The little one is as active as his dad." As the due date approached, her updates became less frequent.

　　However, I started hearing more gossip from mutual friends.

　　Li Yuan found some suspicious messages on Jin Ci's phone and they started arguing.

　　Jin Ci explained that users receive such messages when they fill out information on a maternity and baby website, and it was just an algorithm recommendation.

　　After explaining, he turned the tables and blamed Li Yuan for going through his phone and lacking basic trust in him.

　　Li Yuan could only apologize to Jin Ci.

　　Similar incidents happened repeatedly, always ending with Li Yuan apologizing.

　　Finally, on the day Li Yuan's child was born, my "child" was also born.

　　The game developed by our team was finally released for public testing, and thanks to the earlier hype, it instantly became popular on the internet.

　　Its outstanding game quality received rave reviews.
