Yun Mei was at a loss. “Dao’er, what kind of person do you think my wife is compared to the Second Young Lady?”
Dao’er chuckled, “Young master, you’ve stumped me. What I think doesn’t matter; it’s what you think that counts. People outside praise our young lady for managing the Jin family’s affairs well. She is doing very well now, but she may never compare to the Second Young Lady in your eyes. Why do you ask?”
Yun Mei’s long eyelashes trembled, hiding his eyes. “I just feel that my wife has changed a lot, perhaps because we haven’t seen each other for too long.”
Dao’er put down her work and said, “I feel the young lady has changed a lot these past two years. Has the young master considered that perhaps it’s not just that we haven’t seen her, but rather that in the past, the young master focused solely on the Second Young Lady? Although you are husband and wife, you’ve only met a few times. When the young lady came today, you may have noticed her differently.”
Dao’er’s words made Yun Mei realize that he had never really paid attention to his wife. He didn’t even know her birthday and only remembered her as someone who brought him treasures, always following him and the Second Young Lady and claiming she wanted to marry him. He had never observed her truly.
Seeing Yun Mei in a daze, Dao’er quickly added, “Young master, I was just speaking casually. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Yun Mei shook his head, “No, Dao’er, you didn’t say anything wrong.”
Thank you for your words that made me think. I feel my wife has changed because I never paid attention to her.
“Young master?” Dao’er was confused by the young master’s gratitude.
Yun Mei smiled softly, “Dao’er, you can go out. I’m tired and want to rest.”
