476 Be Soft When It’s Time to Be Soft
Jiu Yuan could tell that Han Shi was dejected and asked, “Hey, what’s wrong with you now? Are you unhappy that your wife is taking revenge for you?”
Men knew men the best, especially a man like Han Shi, who was inferior to his wife in every aspect. He definitely felt that he was too useless. Not only could he not protect his wife, but he also needed his wife to protect him.
He knew that Han Shi was not macho and just wanted to protect the woman he loved. However, he did not expect that nothing had gone smoothly for Han Shi.
“Am I very useless? No matter what I do, I’m not as good as Xi. I wanted to protect her, but it turns out that I still needed her to protect me. Back then, I even overestimated myself and made a three-year agreement with Qi Xiong. Now that I think about it, I feel that I’m simply laughable. If not for everything Xi gave me, I wouldn’t have been able to earn a single cent.”
Hearing the self-doubt and self-denial in Han Shi’s words, Jiu Yuan rolled his eyes and sat beside him, patting his shoulder.
“Bro, you’re thinking too much. If not for your husband, not to mention a three-year agreement, it would be difficult for you to even speak properly. After all, you’ve been a fool for more than 20 years”
“It’s not that I want to be a busybody. Don’t push your luck. You should be happy to have such a capable wife. You want to protect Qin Xi? Is Qin Xi an ordinary woman? Not to mention you, even I… Uh, no matter how capable you are, she doesn’t need your protection. If she’s willing to protect you, let her protect you. Perhaps that’s what she likes to do. If you keep saying nonsense in front of her, your relationship will definitely deteriorate. Brother, as a man, you have to be soft when you have to be soft and tough when you have to be tough. You don’t have to act tough in front of your wife. If you keep doubting yourself, you’ll only feel more inferior.”
Although Jiu Yuan was right, why did he make it sound so unpleasant?
Han Shi, who was originally shrouded in sadness, immediately felt that he was being unreasonable. However, he turned his head. “Are you here to comfort me or humiliate me?”
Jiu Yuan said, “I’m just stating the facts.”
“Hey, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Your wife is really angry this time. You have to think of a way to get through this. By the way, she asked me to bring you some talisman papers and pills.”
As he spoke, Jiu Yuan took out the talisman..
Han Shi took a look and asked seriously, “Do you think I look very miserable?”
Jiu Yuan nodded. “It’s more than miserable. Look at you. You have a beard, dark circles under your eyes, pale skin, and pale lips. It’s obvious at a glance that you’ve been abused. You’re quite miserable. Hurry up and take this pill. Your wife said that you can recover after taking it.”
Suddenly, Han Shi pushed the pill back and said, “I won’t take the pill. I’m good the way I am.”
“I mean, you look more like a ghost than me. How is that good?” Jiu Yuan was dumbfounded.
“Didn’t you say that a man has to be soft when he needs to be soft and tough when he needs to be tough? Shouldn’t he be pitiful when he needs to? I’m doing as you say now!”
Han Shi looked at his clothes and rubbed them until they looked wrinkled.
Jiu Yuan said, “No, what I mean is that man has to be broad-minded and flexible. You, did you misunderstand what I said?”
