How fared the children this morning?

[emperorssmile]

Not as much as you do.

[shangba]

Truly, Wei Ying knows me above all.

[emperorssmile]

It won’t be forever and you won’t be alone.

If I get selfish and make you feel bad, just remind me not to be an asshole, okay?

[shangba]

Would not speak to my wife thusly.

[emperorssmile]

Well, then a jerk or an insensitive meanie or whatever you wanna call it. I know how I can get. You don’t deserve me blaming you for something you can’t control.

[shangba]

Wei Ying has learned maturity.

[emperorssmile]

It’s a side effect of self-reflection.

[shangba]

Perhaps we may come to match.

[emperorssmile]

We could both learn from Sizhui.

I’m sorry about last night.

[shangba]

True. Wei Ying only saw my pleasure to peak once.

He is wise to apologise.

[emperorssmile]

If you’re up for it tonight, I can make it up to you.

[shangba]

Wei Ying need apologise for nothing else.

Doubt was born of prior hurt.

[emperorssmile]

I panicked and took it out on you.

[shangba]

Too often had I sided against Wei Ying's interests.

At times, you see me as an enemy.

[emperorssmile]

I don’t want to. You’re my best friend and my soulmate, not my enemy.

I don’t know how to stop, so all I can do is apologize after hurting you.

[shangba]

We have time.

We have nothing but time.

[emperorssmile]

Time and each other. And our kids, too.

I’ll try to be better, Lan Zhan. You’ll have the best husband ever.

[shangba]

Wei Ying. Enough.

You only answer the failings before you.

[emperorssmile]

Right, right, no use worrying about what’s already said and done.

It’s been a while since I went out on Little Apple.

[shangba]

Is Caiyi friendlier to my husband?

[emperorssmile]

Always has been. It’s not nearly as crowded as Jinlintai, either.

Should I bring some tanghulu for Lan Zhan, too?

[shangba]

It would be a childish request.

[emperorssmile]

If you can’t be childish with me, who can you be childish with?

[shangba]

Then, two sticks.

Perhaps... we must rebalance. Consider the matter with fresh eyes.

Your husband is fleetingly promoted in rank. Let us celebrate.

[emperorssmile]

You’re right! We should do something to celebrate. Maybe we should ask the chefs to prepare your favorite foods for dinner tonight!
