Chapter 1022: Chapter 1008: Irresponsible Remarks

“What’s wrong with my girlfriend loving to sleep in? I indulge her. What’s wrong with my girlfriend having a bad temper? I spoil her. What’s wrong with my girlfriend not making money? I support her.”

It seems positive on the surface, but somehow it feels a bit off. Li Qingxue smiled slightly, looked at Su Xuan, and asked.

“One last question. There’s a television show that’s very popular lately, with a quote from President Bao that’s almost everywhere on social media. What do you think?”

Li Qingxue asked with a smile.

“Are you referring to the part that goes: If my woman cries, it’s my fault. If she wants to eat meat, I cook it. If she wants cherries, I buy them. If her temper is bad, I indulge her. If she’s a diva, I spoil her. If she has no money, I support her…”

Su Xuan said with a smile, thinking to himself that he had no idea which idiot wrote that. At least Su Xuan thought it must have been written by someone who hadn’t experienced love.

“It seems you like following gossip, don’t you?”

Li Qingxue said with a smile, while Su Xuan smiled helplessly and replied.

“It’s not that I love gossip. If this show is deadly, after it aired, I received this message from over a dozen girlfriends in one day. How could I not remember it?”

“…If you don’t boast, you’ll die, won’t you!”

Li Qingxue was really speechless. She didn’t actually believe Su Xuan had so many girlfriends; it was absurd. But truth be told, Su Xuan was actually just bluffing Li Qingxue.

After experiencing his first failed love, Su Xuan’s standards for a girlfriend changed. He absolutely didn’t want a dawdler, even if she was astonishingly beautiful. After all, different values would make such a marriage unbearable.

The only reason Su Xuan saw it was because many women on social media were sharing this post. What comforted Su Xuan was that none of the women important to him had shared it.

“Do you think those words make sense? Quite a few people have liked President Bao’s statement, saying he’s the perfect man.”

Li Qingxue asked with a smile.

“Idiots! I tell you, only a bunch of brainless women would like it. I can assure you the screenwriter is either a complete newbie who hasn’t experienced love or a woman. Any man who’s been with his wife for more than a year would see this and think it’s idiotic. I tell you, there’s a lot of misleading stuff online these days, like the nonsense that a good woman is spoiled, not sure who came up with that.”

Su Xuan felt speechless about how some nonsensical things people treat as truth online today. For example, he had seen something so absurd, saying how to measure the width of a man’s love for you by how much money he’s willing to spend, or measure its depth by how much time he’s willing to invest.

Su Xuan thought it’s idiotic. But there are many idiots who consider this to be the truth. What does measuring a man’s love for you by how much he spends mean? That’s just ridiculous.

“Nowadays, many supposedly wise words online can really be harmful. For example, when President Bao says: If my woman wants meat, I cook it. There’s an obvious limitation. Think about the pressure modern men face; it might be different for someone like me who’s rich, but for an ordinary person, it’s quite significant. For me, coming from money, I don’t feel it as much, because I can’t even spend all of my family’s wealth even if I tried.”

“Wait, can you stop saying you’re a rich second generation every time? When you say that, I just think of you talking about your family’s small pushcart. Can we just be low-key?”

Honestly, Li Qingxue really felt that Su Xuan was a character who enjoyed playing around. She didn’t think Su Xuan was a rich second generation; he was bluffing her.

“Uh, I really am a rich second generation. I’m not lying to you. Ahem, don’t interrupt my train of thought. I’m finally willing to share my theory with you today, so don’t mess with me.”

Su Xuan said with a smile.

“Think about it, Huaxia’s population is thirteen billion, and those around my age make up at least a billion. How many among them are rich second generations? Many men are children of farmers, relying on themselves. When pursuing girls, this works, but once life becomes steady, daily demands certainly require urgency. Romantic moments are wonderful, but how many can keep up with romance long-term? The struggles of life are real, aren’t we all working hard for survival?”

Su Xuan said softly.

“If the wife wants to eat meat, I cook it? That’s obviously flawed. I’m not saying men shouldn’t do housework; it’s just that men typically carry the major financial burdens of family life. For a man genuinely wanting to make things work, there’s practically no ‘off-time.’ What’s a wife for? It’s not just for romance. If she wants meat, can’t she cook it herself? If I were a woman and wanted meat, I’d definitely cook it myself. After it’s ready, I’d take a bowl to my husband, acknowledging his hard work. That’s real life, not ‘my wife wants meat, I cook it; she wants cherries, I buy them.’ Buy what then?”

Su Xuan felt speechless about how many women misapply things from TV. Some sayings are suitable for a specific audience, for example, President Bao, who’s actually rich, has that privilege, and above all, people overlook the point that Andi herself is pretty impressive.”

“Yeah, many of my girlfriends have been crazily sharing this passage lately. When I see it, I find it too irresponsible a statement. What man could perfectly fulfill those words?”

“Haha, then like a group of idiots will try to do it. That’s during the honeymoon phase. After it ends, as they settle into normal life, women start thinking their boyfriends have changed. In truth, nothing changed, only the circumstances did. That brings us back to what we discussed earlier: good women aren’t spoiled, contrary to some idiot’s saying, they’re made through care.”

Su Xuan paused and continued.

“A man’s attitude toward a woman is pampering, not spoiling, and it has to be measured because life is mostly about simplicity. During romantic phases, it might feel like a woman’s every act is charming.”
