Chapter 1341: 1340 with a bit more space


    As there were many elderly and children around, Tan Rou and her group had to wait a long time before a young couple came for a walk with their twin son and daughter.


    The father carried the son, while the mother held the daughter. They were walking just fine when suddenly, the mother received a phone call that seemed to be from a friend, inviting her to go shopping right away.


    The young mother nced at her husband and children, then said, “No, I don’t have time today, let’s go another time.”


    Her friend sounded a bit angry, and Tan Rou could hear her friend’s raised voice even through the phone.


    “I’m sorry, I’ve been too busytely, really don’t have the time to go out with you,” the young mother apologized.


    Her friend was really angry and hung up the phone before she could finish speaking.


    “Is your friend calling you to hang out again?” the young father said, “Let me take care of the kids. You haven’t been out shopping with friends for a long time. Why don’t you take this opportunity to have some fun and buy some stuff?”


    The young mother shook her head, “Better not, it will be tiring for you to manage the kids alone.”


    The manughed and said, “Are you not tired when you take care of the kids alone? Sometimes you need to rx. You’re always at home and haven’t had the time to go out. If this continues, it could affect your mood, and you might easily be depressed.”


    A smile appeared on the woman’s face, and she nodded, “Okay, then let’s take the kids home.”

    The man said, “Alright, then you go ahead and have a good time for the next half of the day. Don’t worry about the kids, I’ll take good care of them at home.”


    Then, the young couple took their children and went back home.


    Tan Rou asked, “What do you think about their way of interacting with each other?”


    Zhuang Liu said, “Their division ofbor is quite clear, the wife stays at home taking care of the children, while the husband works outside to earn money.”


    Tan Rou smiled and said, “Yes, their division ofbor is indeed very clear, each person has their roles, and each person has their own space for activities. While the husband works outside, when hees home, he still takes care of the children, not leaving them entirely to his wife. The wife is responsible for taking care of the children at home, but she also has friends. Her life is not only about her husband and children.”


    Zhuang Liu pondered for a moment, then said, “Both husband and wife should give each other some space, to do their own things, right?”


    “Exactly!” Tan Rou turned to look at Zhuang Liu, “Can we do that?”


    Tan Rou surely could, as she never interfered too much with other people’s affairs; every time Zhuang Liu went on business trips, she would wait for him in the Capital, not insisting on going with him.


    But it might not be so simple for Zhuang Liu. He was used to going out with Tan Rou, and changing this habit could be a bit difficult.


    “I promise you, this time you go abroad for a business trip, I won’t follow you,” Zhuang Liu resolved, “I will wait for you toe back home.”


    “If you’re worried about my safety, I will report my location at all times,” Tan Rou also conceded, “Have you forgotten about the products ourpany makes? I will carry the Locator with me, and if any ident happens, someone will immediatelye to rescue me. Besides, don’t you have people in J country? Please arrange for someone to search and rescue me when the timees.”


    Zhuang Liu hoped such a thing would never happen, “Tan Rou, you must be careful about safety, never go out alone and in case of danger, protect yourself from getting hurt first, understand?”


    Tan Rou naturally understood the importance of protecting herself and nodded, “Okay, I got it.”


    Zhuang Liu continued, “Actually, I’ve been thinking a lot on the way here, and fromst night until now, I haven’t closed my eyes for a moment. I’m afraid that if I close my eyes, you will nevere back.”


    Tan Rou took his hand and said, “Zhuang Liu, we are adults now, and sometimes we need to give each other some space.”


    “Hmm,” Zhuang Liu said, “Our Tan Rou is a big boss now, can’t be protected like a child anymore.”


    Tan Rou happily said, “I’m d you understand my thoughts. Let’s go to my ce tonight and have dinner while we’re there.”


    “Sure,” Zhuang Liu nodded.
