The Husband in the Study

share time: 2026-01-07 06:02:22

Lin Xiaoman, married for three years, has been worried lately—her husband Chen Mo locks himself in the study every night after work until late, even letting her simmered tremella soup go cold. She sneaks a look at his phone and finds a resignation letter; when she installs a monitor, she catches him rubbing his red eyes while revising his resume. Until one late night, she pushes open the study door with a cup of warm milk, only to discover Chen Mo has been unemployed for three months. Afraid of worrying her, he pretends to go to work every day, does part-time writing jobs in the study, and even sells his pre-marital watch to cover the mortgage. When Chen Mo hugs her with red eyes, Lin Xiaoman finally understands: the warmest secret is that both of them are quietly protecting each other.
