Chapter 2000: Throw Away Your Pride

“Don’t stare at me!” Xiao Yuqian laughed wryly. “I’m also the victim here. Come on, he’s coming, let’s go over there.”

Xiao Yuqian quickly pulled Nie Zhenglan away.

Su Jimo came over and saw Ma Haodong had already laid everything out. He thanked Ma Haodong for helping.

Seeing that Ma Haodong was tending to the barbeque, Su Jimo joined in.

When Xiao Yuqian and Nie Zhenglan got back, they saw both men were standing by the barbeque rack.

“Miss Xiao, come here and have a taste,” Ma Haodong said as he waved at Xiao Yuqian.

When Xiao Yuqian got to Ma Haodong’s side, he handed her a grilled sausage.

Xiao Yuqian took a bite and praised, “Not bad at all!”

While Xiao Yuqian was talking to Ma Haodong, Su Jimo tried to strike up a conversation with Nie Zhenglan.

“Lanlan, do you want some?” Su Jimo asked. “I have some that are done here.”

Nie Zhenglan ignored Su Jimo and lay down on the beach chair. She sipped on her drink, not giving Su Jimo any chance to talk to her.

The atmosphere was very awkward for Su Jimo as his hand hung in mid-air while holding the cooked sausage.

Xiao Yuqian also lay down on the chair, waiting for the rest of the food to be cooked.

Seeing Su Jimo feeling down, Ma Haodong went to his side and whispered.

“Bro, if you want to get her, you have to let go of your pride. Throw everything away. Trust me.”

Su Jimo looked at Ma Haodong and smiled. “Even though you’re still young, you sure have a lot of weird ideas.”

Su Jimo also realized that he had been too strict, never taking risks when needed. When Nie Zhenglan was cold to him, he would stop himself from taking measures.

That was how their relationship slowly broke apart.

Nie Zhenglan had given everything to their relationship, and Su Jimo was used to taking it for granted. He finally panicked when he lost her.

Su Jimo was not giving enough into the relationship, and he knew that.

Now that Ma Haodong had given him a tip, Su Jimo thought that it was time that he let everything go and get his wife back.

“I’ll try!”

Su Jimo got up quickly. He had decided to throw away his identity as the Movie King and go back to who he was. The moment he made that decision, it felt like he had become younger.

Su Jimo sat down next to Nie Zhenglan and handed her the sausage.

“Lanlan, try some. It took me quite some time to get it cooked.”

“I’m not hungry.” Nie Zhenglan declined, hiding her face with her beach hat.

“Please, listen to what I have to say,” Su Jimo said. “I’m sorry… You’ve given me everything, and yet… what have I ever given you? I thought that was how it’s supposed to be, but I was wrong. I was the one who singlehandedly caused the situation that we are in today. It wasn’t until I lost you that I realized how important you are to me… You’ve taken care of me ever since we got married. Without you, I can’t even take care of myself anymore. Look at me… I can’t even find a pair of matching socks…”

To prove himself, Su Jimo pulled his pants up a little. Nie Zhenglan could not hold back her urge to look at his legs. When she did, she realized that he really was wearing two different colored socks.

How stupid are you? Can’t you even do this on your own?

Even though Nie Zhenglan was scolding Su Jimo in her head, she was also worried. She couldn’t help but shake the thought of how Su Jimow was going to live if she wasn’t in his life anymore.

But then again, she thought of what she’d lost in the marriage.
