Chapter 181 Conflict escalates

Since the disagreement on the issue of their children's education, the relationship between Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan has become a little delicate. The trivial details in life seem to have become potential fuses that may detonate the suppressed emotions between the two at any time.

That day, because of a trivial matter, the conflict between the two broke out again. Lin Yanan came home from get off work, exhausted, and was angered by the scene in the living room. She saw Ruan Jianan sitting at the dining table with his children, with a pile of fast food boxes in front of them.

"Jian'an, how many times have I told you not to feed children these unnutritious foods!" Lin Yanan's voice rose a few degrees. As she spoke, she put down her bag and walked quickly to the dining table. Her eyes were full of anger and disappointment, and her brows were tightly knitted together.

Ruan Jianan looked helpless. He looked up at Lin Yanan and tried to explain: "I'm just busy. The child is hungry. I'll take care of him first." There was a hint of fatigue in his voice. He was so busy in the company today that he had no time to prepare dinner.

"Busy, busy, busy, you only care about being busy. Isn't the child's health important?" Lin Yanan stamped her feet in anger. Her voice echoed in the empty room, full of deep dissatisfaction and accusation. She walked to the child and gently touched the child's head, "Baby, you can't eat too much of this kind of food, understand?"

The child was frightened by Lin Yanan's violent reaction. He opened his eyes wide, looked at his parents at a loss, and burst into tears. The child's crying made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn, and Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan immediately panicked.

Ruan Jianan hurriedly stood up and wanted to comfort the child, "Don't cry, baby, don't cry, Dad didn't mean it."

Lin Yanan pulled the child to her side and said, "Look, this is all because of you!"

Ruan Jianan was also a little angry, "I have tried very hard, can you understand me?"

"Understand you? Then who will understand me? I work every day and have to worry about my children when I come home. What about you?" Lin Yanan's voice was a little tearful. She felt that her efforts were not valued by Ruan Jianan.

Ruan Jianan was silent for a while: "I know you are working hard, but it is not easy for me either."

"Not easy? Do you think it's easy for me? We agreed at the beginning that we would provide a good environment for our child to grow up in, but what about now?" Lin Yanan's tears welled up in her eyes. She felt extremely wronged and helpless.

Ruan Jianan sighed, "Let's stop arguing. This is not good for the children."

Lin Yanan glanced at the crying child and calmed herself down a little, "Let's comfort the child first."

The two began to coax the child together. After a lot of effort, the child finally stopped crying, but his eyes were still red, and his pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.

"Baby, I'm sorry, mom and dad shouldn't quarrel." Lin Yanan kissed the child's face.

The child sobbed, "Mom and Dad, please don't quarrel. I'm scared."

Ruan Jianan also said: "Dad promises that this won't happen again in the future."

However, although the child was temporarily coaxed, the conflict between Lin Yanan and Ruan Jianan was not resolved. At night, after the child fell asleep, they sat in the living room, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.

After a while, Ruan Jianan broke the silence, "Yanan, let's talk."

Lin Yanan raised her head and looked at Ruan Jianan, "Okay, let's talk."

Ruan Jianan: "I know I haven't done a good job taking care of my children recently, but I'm really too busy at work and sometimes I can't take care of them."

Lin Yanan sighed, "I know you work hard, but children only have one chance to grow up, so we can't neglect it."

Ruan Jianan nodded, "I understand. I will try to spend more time taking care of the child in the future and pay attention to his diet."

Lin Yanan: "Then we need to make a plan and clarify our respective responsibilities."

So, they began to discuss how to better divide the work and take care of the children's life and study. During the discussion, the tone of the two gradually eased, no longer full of gunpowder as before.

"From now on, I will be responsible for preparing nutritious breakfast for the child every day, and you will be responsible for sending him to school." Lin Yanan.

Ruan Jianan agreed, "Okay, then I'll try to get off work early this afternoon, pick him up from school, and help him with his homework."

After some discussion, they finally came up with a preliminary plan. Although there were still many details to be improved, at least they started to work towards the same direction.

Just when they thought the conflict was about to be resolved, the next morning, Ruan Jianan had an emergency at the company and was unable to prepare breakfast for the children as planned.

Lin Yanan looked at Ruan Jianan who was in a panic, and the hope that had just ignited in her heart was shattered again.

"Can you do it? Doesn't what you said yesterday count?" Lin Yanan's voice rose again.

Ruan Jianan looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, the company suddenly..."

"I don't want to hear your excuses!" Lin Yanan interrupted him.
