Stealing Your Heart

“Why do you ask?” questioned Lin Xinyan.

Sang Yu deliberated before confessing, “You used to be a career woman and didn’t need anyone to support you. You could have built an even more wonderful career. However, you have since turned into a housewife who stays at home to care for your husband and kids.”

Sang Yu thought that society was unfair toward women and added, “Why must women stand behind a man though? Shouldn’t both men and women contribute to building a wonderful home?”

Lin Xinyan grinned before teasing her, “Aren’t you contradicting yourself?”

Sang Yu was lost and asked, “How am I contradicting myself?”

“You said that both men and women should contribute to a home’s wellbeing. Yet, you claim that it is unfair for women to have to sacrifice their careers. Isn’t that conflicting?” said Lin Xinyan before she further pointed out, “Working and bringing financial stability to the home is a form of contribution as well. Men contribute by taking the bacon home while women contribute by taking care of the house and the family. In that case, aren’t both contributing to the wellbeing of the home?”

Sang Yu thought about it and agreed that it made sense. However, she added, “But I don’t want to live a life dependent on him.”

Sang Yu’s upbringing made it such that she lacked a sense of security, so she felt uncomfortable about depending on another person.

She worried that there would come a day when Shen Peichuan would fall out of love with her. Divorces happened all the time, and if she couldn’t be self-sufficient, she would not be able to survive in the future.

It wasn’t that she didn’t love him, and it wasn’t like she didn’t trust him. The simple fact was that her parents had a terrible marriage, and she had to learn to fend for herself at a young age. That got her in a habit of always having a plan B.

Lin Xinyan understood how Sang Yu felt. Women should have their own persistence and fight for what they wanted. Only then would life be wonderful and filled with excitement.
