Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1625 - 1626: A Woman’s Most Precious Asset

Reflecting on her history with Qi Taiguo temporarily silenced Cheng Su, bringing to mind the myriad moments of their relationship over the years—the disagreements, the clashes, heated tempers, and tender affections. It was, without exaggeration, a tapestry woven with threads of sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and spice.

"...When we were dating, things were wonderful, but I've heard that after marriage, it's not the same as dating. People eventually start finding each other annoying. I'm quite worried," Ying Xiaoya murmured.

Cheng Su mused for a moment before responding, "How about this? If you're afraid of growing gradually annoyed, you must understand the necessity of constantly keeping things fresh. A couple can share many things, but it doesn't mean absolutely everything must be shared. It's perfectly fine to maintain a few harmless little secrets. Preserving a sense of mystery allows him to feel there's always a part of you he hasn't yet uncovered. Don't you think that would prevent him from becoming bored? Men, in particular, are captivated by the idea of 'conquest'."

Ying Xiaoya pursed her lips, "Will that truly bring happiness?"

Cheng Su chuckled, gently ruffling her hair, and said, "That’s merely preserving the relationship. To achieve a happy marriage, your first step must be to be true to yourself, love yourself, and treat yourself well. I've told you before, when you love someone, it's enough to give seven parts of yourself, leaving three parts for your own well-being, right?"

"I believe you did mention that..."

"Precisely. Reserve those three parts for yourself, cherish yourself completely, and avoid pouring all ten parts into the other person. Even if circumstances change, you'll still have those three parts remaining, ensuring you're not left with nothing." Cheng Su smiled softly. "Never underestimate the significance of these three parts. More often than not, these small reserves can be the very thing that saves you from ruin."

Ying Xiaoya's eyes flickered slightly. "What you're saying makes marriage sound like a fearsome beast, ready to tear people apart at any moment."

Cheng Su chided gently, "Look at you, I'm not solely discussing marriage; I'm speaking broadly about interpersonal dynamics between two people."

"Regardless, it still strikes me as quite frightening," Ying Xiaoya pouted.

"Silly girl," Cheng Su murmured, stroking her soft hair. "Is it Cheng Yaozu who is causing you to feel insecure, to doubt yourself?"

"Not exactly, it’s just that, isn’t it different before and after marriage, as some people suggest?" Ying Xiaoya replied, a touch awkwardly.

"It is different, and that's entirely normal. You've been together for an extended period. There's no such thing as eternal passion, only enduring affection. You don't need to fret about anything else; focusing on managing yourself well is key." Cheng Su looked at her earnestly. "The Cheng family is incredibly wealthy, exceptionally so. I have no doubt the Cheng family's prosperity will only grow in the future. Even if you choose not to work, you will never want for sustenance or face financial hardship. However, Xiaoya, what I truly want to impress upon you is that regardless of the Cheng family's vast wealth, you must cultivate your own career and endeavors. Cheng Yaozu is still young and will relentlessly pursue progress. If you wish to walk alongside him for the long term, you cannot afford to fall too far behind. Because if the chasm between you becomes too great, you'll eventually lose sight of him entirely."

Ying Xiaoya's expression shifted noticeably.

"If the distance between the two of you widens excessively, you will eventually become unreachable. Therefore, you must continuously learn and grow alongside him, making yourself sufficiently capable to embody the role of Mrs. Cheng. Naturally, if you can establish yourself as Ying Xiaoya in the eyes of the world, not merely as Cheng Yaozu's wife, then your standing will be even more exceptional." Cheng Su added with a smile, "An outstanding woman, how could any man possibly look away? He would likely desire to remain by her side constantly."

No man dislikes an exceptional woman; someone who shines brilliantly like a Star Diamond, how could he possibly avert his gaze?

Elevating oneself is not solely for the sake of a relationship; it is also about personal enhancement. This is a woman's most invaluable asset.
