Qing: You took some work?

Me: Yes. Voice acting or dubbing.

Qing: Okay. But...you promised not to work. You are semi retired, remember? Retired for two years and then after that could go back to maybe working full time. That was our agreement.

Me: Well yeah...but...

Qing: Whats going on?

I went to him for a hug. Wrapping my arms around his waist and clasping my hands on the small of his back. I smiled sweetly at him.

Me: You see what happened was, in the event that I attended...

I proceeded to explain to Qing everything that happened in the charity event and the proceedings happenstance of meeting an actual voice dubbing director and the small projects that were presented to me and I gladly accepted to put forth the things I learned about voice dubbing. And of course, to actually have experiences on this new field I decided to traverse.

But still, nothing compares to how I felt when I met a legendary performer in that event.

Me: (eyes sparkling) Can you believe it? I actually met her. I actually met her! She! A living legend! One of my biggest idol! I met her Qing! (shaking my husband excitedly) I met her!

Qing: (grimacing) Yeah, I heard you the first nine times you said it.

Me: (chuckling) Its the best moment. Nothing could beat that.

Qing: Sure. But then lets go back to these works that you...did you really accept those works?

Me: (excitement deflating a bit) Well...yeah. You see...its experience. If I want to be a part of this voice dubbing community, I should have experience.

Qing: Sure. But not now. You just finished sorting out our wedding gifts. You promised to follow Mama in some events to learn from her on how to socialize properly. You...even said you will host your own tea party next year. You'll need time to learn how to do that. Time that might not be there if you will work.

Me: I can multitask!

Qing: Dayu ah...

Me: I can do it! I can, Qing!

Qing: You might feel overwhelmed again. And when you do...

Me: (rolling my eyes) Yes. The panic attack might happen...

Qing: (nodding) The panic attack might happen.

Me: It won't.

Qing: (frowning) Can you present some solid evidences to guarantee that...or are you just making things up now?

Me: Wang Qing!

Qing: No. You promised me. You signed our prenup. I can sue you! You are violating a clause on a legal contract.

And because I am already sprouting bullshits. I said...

Me: Can I just divorce you?

Qing: (exasperated beyond words could describe) That should be my line.

Me: Okay. Lets divorce for a while. I'll work these jobs and when I am done, we can get married again. Problem solved!

Qing sighed like he cannot believe I truly presented that brilliant (read stupid) idea.

Qing: (turning away from me) I'm gonna call my lawyers to sue you.

Me: No!

I grabbed his arm to keep him beside me.

Me: Don't take me to court! You'll regret it.

Qing: Okay I'll bite. Why will I regret it?

Me: Because...maybe we are not legally married yet. How will you win that case now?
