My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1160 - 1161: Suddenly Giving Her a Card

"Miss Rong," he said, not mincing his words, "you may think you’re catching up to Shengxiao’s pace because of your progress, but it’s only because he has stopped to wait for you. Ever since he has been with you, he has spent more time on you than he has on the company. Your smooth rise in the entertainment industry is largely due to the fact that he’s been paving the way for you. When do you plan to catch up to him, expecting him to take the other 99 steps for you after you’ve taken just one? To you, is that what trying to keep up with his pace means?"

He was too sharp, far more incisive than Lin Teng or Su Yi, speaking directly and straightforwardly, laying out the blunt truth in front of Rong Yan for her to respond.

Rong Yan pursed her lips and took a deep breath, "No. I will use all my abilities to get there as soon as possible. I won’t just let him accommodate me."

"Forgive my frankness, Miss Rong. Sometimes, the disparity between people isn’t something you can close just by trying. Some people are born different from the very beginning. You and Shengxiao are just such a case," Lin Wei said, not beating around the bush. He told her his plans that he had never shared with anyone else, "Shengxiao will be the successor to the Lin Family, and all of the Lin Family’s holdings in Zeka will be his to inherit. I don’t mean any disrespect, I’m simply stating the facts. You’re not able to stand by his side. What he needs is a wife who can help him resolve worries and obstacles, not one who still requires his time and energy to care for. You can offer him too little, and what you need from him is too much. Right now, he likes you, so he doesn’t mind. But when your affection wanes and he continues to give unilaterally, he’s bound to tire out one day."

He took out a card and placed it on the table, "This card is a gift I’ve prepared for you. You’ve given birth to a fine son for Shengxiao, and you’ve brought him ease and joy during this time. I’m grateful to you; the money inside is enough for you to spend for a lifetime."

Rong Yan did not reach for the card. She looked up at him and asked, "Does Old General Lin mean for me to take this money and leave?"

She didn’t want the money, nor would she leave Li Shengxiao just because of a few words.

Love has never been about equality, about suitability.

It hadn’t been easy for her and Li Shengxiao to get together. That man had given so much for her. If she simply gave up on him because of what an elder said, that would be the real betrayal.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wei denied it, "No, that’s not my intention for you to leave Shengxiao."

Rong Yan was confused, "Then this card..."

Lin Wei pushed the card an inch closer to her again before continuing, "This card is a small token from me, a thank you for giving birth to a smart and healthy great-grandson. Just accept it."

Rong Yan still did not touch it, sitting up straight, pushing the card back to him, "Having Little Baby was my own choice. He is also my precious child. If Old General Lin likes him, he can visit him at Dihor Garden. There’s no need for the gift. If you insist on giving something, perhaps buy Little Baby a small toy. He would be very happy."

Her tone softened when she mentioned Little Baby, warm and filled with a mother’s love.

Listening to her, Lin Wei felt oddly moved. He slowly retracted the card he had intended to force on her. After a moment of silence, without further insistence, he said, "Very well, it’s alright if you don’t accept it. I’ll hold onto it for you, and you can ask for it whenever you want. Miss Rong, since you won’t take the card, let me just cut to the chase."
