Chapter 1656: Chapter 1078: Heroine of the Republic 52

At this moment, An Yi hadn’t noticed at all that the reason she was so assertive was that ever since she came here, she had been the one in charge. Then one day, someone didn’t buy into her authority, and she felt her authority was being questioned and threatened. Initially, it might have felt novel, but as time went on, it became uncomfortable.

Besides, Gu Cheng’s lingering image in her mind was too vivid. When imagination clashed drastically with reality, it gave her a sense of distance.

Gu Cheng might have been not only a standout at work but also good-looking, so the circles he mingled with then must have been worlds apart from now. Both were proud individuals. Men, being men of earthly desires, even if the person in front of him was his savior, after he pledged to give money, he believed that since he had paid, he should receive the expected service. He thought the one by his side should be a pretty little nurse, not her with this ugly face!!!

As for her, she looked down on this man’s male chauvinism. What’s the use of being excellent at work? Life is a mess, always self-centered, thinking that women should revolve around him? Pfft, she absolutely wouldn’t.

In the end, it’s just a case of neither meeting the other’s expectations, barely lasting a month before they split early.

In Gu Cheng’s view, this woman was indeed excellent and seemed to have many aspects that puzzled him. But as a superficial person, he couldn’t change his subconscious perception. He also wanted to treat this savior of his with an ordinary heart, but for some reason, her features didn’t align with his three values. Seeing her made him uncomfortable, and he subconsciously treated her as a servant because he thought only servants would look like this.

Maybe, at first, because of the gender difference, he felt a bit embarrassed, but as time went on, he horrifyingly found himself taking it for granted and ordered this nurse around without hesitation.

After discovering this flaw in Gu Cheng, An Yi thought of those career-driven men who thrive at work but whose family lives are in shambles. They center their lives around their careers, relegating family to the last, ending up either with separated spouses or lonely for the rest of their lives. In their lives, only work matters, and family life is put in the backseat, or they even think the woman at home is tough as nails, believing money can satisfy all needs.

During Gu Cheng’s half-month stay here, her patience was worn down little by little. Saying he was recuperating, doing nothing, sorting nothing, and apart from taking out the trash and emptying the urine pot every day, she also had to tidy his room and clothes. Some things were left the same every day. Weeks later, they remained unchanged. Oil bottles wouldn’t be propped up. Do these words describe such people?

Hey! If he were naturally like this, she wouldn’t be so angry. Coming back from his home, An Yi seemed even angrier because the place where he lived had everything neatly categorized. What does this indicate? With someone to rely on, this man would become very lazy.

Because he knew if he didn’t do it, there was someone who would. With a diligent person taking over, why waste time doing it himself?

Isn’t it like fathers in later generations who come home from work, play games, and care for nothing else?

Seeing such a person, An Yi felt that the hero image she once had in her heart completely crumbled.

Indeed, heroes are human, not gods!

There are too few men who love life. What they want is not someone outstanding at work, but someone willing to share in life, who puts both themselves and the child in their hearts, who helps with the dishes when you’re done cooking, assists with the children when you clean, understands and is considerate. This kind of man might not be particularly outstanding in work, but at least he has a heart for mutual support and shared responsibility. This is the most considerate kind of man.

Having sent Gu Cheng away, An Yi didn’t feel any regrets and even felt that once she no longer revolved around that patient, she suddenly had time each day to lie back, even sip a cup of coffee. How wonderful!

Women, having children is enough. Men, haha, they really are optional beings. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Best to let it go.

She also shared this example with Anna and Angel, aiming to tell them that if one day in the future they really encounter that person, make sure to choose wisely and not be blinded by immediate fantasies.
