    Chapter 1


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (1)</strong>


    On the disco-lit and foggy dance floor, men and women in formal attire and short skirts moved and gyrated their bodies.


    The bar was covered with fog, the music was deafening, and people were dancing madly everywhere.


    In one corner, a man with gold-rimmed sses sat on a leather sofa, his lean bony fingers ying with a ss of wine.


    From time to time, someone came forward to talk, but they were all politely rejected by him.


    He was like a beautiful but unreachable flower,pletely inconsistent with the indulgent and unrestrained environment. Nheless, many still tried to approach him despite knowing that their efforts were futile.


    His friends next to him watched on jealously, "Jiang Zhe, you can really attract people."


    "Of course. In the entire group, our Jiang Zhe is the most famous bachelor  handsome, elegant, impable character and sessful. In the whole group, who has ever said a bad word about him?" A man in a suit smiled and gave a thumbs up.


    "Yeah, our Big Beauty Jiang has charmed all the women in the group. He really doesn''t give us any space to y."


    "Yes, that''s right. You know our design departments Lin Biao? Her body, appearance, personality and work ethics are all first ss. But more importantly, she is also deeply in love with our Big Beauty Jiang. I heard that Lin Biao liked AZhe since junior high school, and has chased him till today without even regretting once. I say, AZhe, with such an infatuated beauty who loves you, you should just ept her."


    "Yeah. I see Lin Biao fawning over you every day. Us single dogs dog food has be more and more vourful."


    The man who was silent throughout heard the words, looked up and just smiled.


    "Ive talked so much, but you havent said a word. Beauty Jiang, you are too reserved. Ill have you know that this is a bar. At this rate, people looking at us might even think we are in some kind of serious meeting."


    His group of friends raised their voices, chanting for him to drink as punishment. Jiang Zhe couldnt pass on it, and he raised his ss. Coincidentally, his phone vibrated and he put down his ss, saying, Sorry, I have to take a call."


    "Which big beauty is calling this time!"


    "Go, go."


    Jiang Zhe smiled apologetically and left his seat. He found a quiet corner and pressed the answer button, "Hello, I am Jiang Zhe. May I ask who am I speaking to?"


    "We are from XX hospital. Your girlfriend, Ms. Lin Wei, was in a car ident and has been sent to the emergency room. I hope that you cane as soon as possible. Hello Mr. Jiang, are you listening? Hello? Hello?  Dududu"


    Jiang Zhes blood ran cold. He didnt even know how he arrived at the hospital. When he followed the nurses instructions, ran to the ER, and saw the bright red re of the operating light, it finally hit him and everything went ck before his eyes.


    Before he fainted, he heard a mechanical voice asking him, "Do you want to save your girlfriend?"


    Jiang Zhe replied without hesitation, "Yes."


    "Then bind with me."


    Pushing the memory back, Jiang Zhe sat at a table. His fingers were sped together, elbows on the table, chin resting on his hands, eyes dulled, his whole being looking extremely sluggish.


    Shui Gen stood for a long time, secretly observing their familys Eldest Young Master, and found that the Eldest Young Master has not moved since he sat down, resembling a statue.


    Shui Gen became anxious, whispering, "Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master?"


    Jiang Zhe came back to his senses, turned to look at him, and asked indifferently, "What is it?"


    Shui Gen scratched his head, not knowing how to respond. Finally, under the Eldest Young Masters hard probing gaze, he closed his eyes and hardened his heart to say, "Eldest Young Master, Lady Qiu Yue will be performing at tonights Bai Hua Men. This servant has already gotten the tickets." So don''t be in a daze anymore.


    Jiang Zhe was shaken. He forgot that the original soul had already gotten tired of his dull wife, and was looking towards the outside world of beauties.


    Qiu Yue was the first beauty he encountered. She had thorns and was difficult to capture. The original owner spent a months time, but only managed to say a few words with her.


    He was such a failure.


    Jiang Zhe retracted his hand, got up and stretched.Shui Gen followed behind with a fawning face. "Eldest Young Master, are you going out now? This servant shall call a car."


    "No need." Jiang Zhe raised his hand to stop him, and thought about it, "Take the ticket and sell it. I will rest at home tonight."


    Shui Gen: ???


    Jiang Zhe frowned, "Still not going?


    Yes, Eldest Young Master. This servant will go right away." Shui Gen quickly ran out.


    Jiang Zhe turned his sight away from the scurrying servant and walked over to the bookshelf. He took out a book, and sat back at the table, calmly reading the book.The sunlight spilled in through the windows, and the golden glow softened his face.


    At a corner outside the house, Cui Xi held a wooden tray and smiled. She whispered to her familys Young Mistress, "Congrattions, Young Mistress.


    Li Cai Wei calmlyasked, "What is there to congratte about?"


    Cui Xi, with an innocent face and a nave aura, said chirpily, "The Eldest Young Master recently liked that beauty Qiu Yue. However, he asked Shui Gen to sell the tickets. This shows that Eldest Young Masters heart has grown tired of ying outside, and that he will stay at home quietly to spend the rest of the days harmoniously with Young Mistress."


    Li Cai Wei peeked at the man reading the book in the house, murmuring to herself, "Is it?"


    "Of course." Cui Xis sharp hearing caught the soft murmur, and immediately answered.


    Looking at the chicken soup in her hand, Cui Xi tentatively probed, "Young Mistress, let''s go in. Otherwise, the chicken soup will turn cold and unptable."


    LiCai Wei: "Yousendit in."


    Cui Xi: "Ah?"


    Cui Xi stared nkly at her Young Mistress who just walked away, her face full of confusion.


    "Whats wrong with the Young Mistress? The Eldest Young Master has clearly stopped looking at other females already."


    Never mind, she wont bother about it anymore. Shes only a maidservant, as long as she does her job well, things will be fine.


    Cui Xi carried the chicken soup into the house. Jiang Zhe heard that it was sent by the Young Mistress, and drank it out of politeness.


    Cui Xi left with a sweet feeling in her heart, and immediately returned to tell the news to Li Cai Wei.


    "Initially, the Eldest Young Master didnt want to drink it. However, when I said it was the Young Mistress who sent it, the Eldest Young Master drank it."


    Cui Xi described the situation energetically. At the end, she found that the Young Mistress mood wasnt very good and hesitantly asked, "Young Mistress, are you not happy?"


    LiCai Wei adjusted her mouth, "No."


    "Oh." Cui Xi was dubious, but she retreated at Li Cai Weis gesture.


    Li Cai Wei stood in front of the window and looked in the distant direction of Jiang Zhe,ughing depressingly at herself.


    What was she still waiting for? Even if there was no Qiu Yue this time, it was difficult to guarantee that he will not have a Ming Yue or Bao Yue in the future.

    Chapter 2


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (2)</strong>


    Father Jiang was one of the best and richest clothing merchant in the entire Yun City.


    Jiang Zhe was the eldest son and legal heir of the Jiang family. As the eldest son, Father Jiang had high hopes for Jiang Zhe.However, the original soul was foolish, and looked down on his fathers way of earning money.


    Every day, he took the money he despised and went out to high-end establishments, spending money like dirt.


    No wonder he died so tragically. Really, it makes one unable to sympathise with him at all.


    Jiang Zhe stood by the window and looked at the scenery in the courtyard, his fingers unconsciously ying with his jade thumb ring. He whispered in a low voice, "Unfortunately, these peaceful days wontst long."


    This was a parallel time and space. Though some celebrities were different, the general development of the world was strikingly simr to Jiang Zhes original world.


    In the next three years, the entire Yun City will be steeped in war. Everyone would be in danger and they would try to escape the city war zone.


    It was precisely in that battle that the original soul died. His cause of death? Love sickness.


    Jiang Zhe doesn''t wish to repeat the same mistakes the original soul made. Naturally, he will not provoke those women on his own ord.


    After all, he only came here toplete the task.


    System that asionally captures the hosts thoughts: Hehe


    At noon, a servant called, "Eldest Young Master, the Old Master requests your presence in the main hall for lunch."


    Jiang Zhe nodded lightly. The servant was surprised at how easy-going the Eldest Young Master was today as he led the way.


    The main hall was already full of people, with the tables separated by gender.


    Jiang Zhe had just stepped in when a strange female voice rang out: "Wow, the ever-busy and important Eldest Young Master is finally willing to spare some time to eat lunch."


    Father and Mother Jiangs face instantly changed. Just as Mother Jiang was about to scold the woman, Jiang Zhe opened his mouth to speak. He was wearing an indigo blue gown today. His long hair wasbed to the side, revealing a smooth and full forehead. A pair of gold rimmed sses perched snugly on his nose.Hearing his Concubine Mother Shu ridiculing him non-stop, he did not get angry or embarrassed as he did before, only sweeping his sleeves and walking away.


    Jiang Zhes pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes, and smiled apologetically, This son has arrivedte; I hope that Mother and Father can forgive me.


    Father Jiang swept away the previous unhappiness with a smile, Its nothing. Theres only family eating here. Your Concubine Mother Shus character is just like that, dont take it to heart, Zheer."


    Jiang Zhe smiled and agreed silently, greeting Mother Jiang with a light smile as he passed her.


    Mother Jiang hadnt seen her son in a long time, and was too happy to notice anything out of ce. She was even willing to overlook Concubine Shus previous transgression.


    Jiang Zhe sat on the left directly next to his father. The seat to the left of the household head was a respected one, just below the household head himself, showing how much Father Jiang loves his son.


    Concubine Shu, who was utterly ignored during the whole process, silently looked at the filial father-son pair at the other table. She could only swallow her anger and scold them in her heart. Even her own pair of children were dragged into her anger, berated for being so useless.


    Jiang Chen and Jiang Yu lowered their heads, obediently waiting for lunch.


    Jiang Zhe mentally took in all these interactions. After Father Jiang picked up his chopsticks*, Jiang Zhe picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork. The vibrantly red pork glistened with oil, and the meat was tender and juicy. With a bite, the fragrant, crispy, sour and sweet vour came bursting out, satisfying their taste buds.


    Jiang Zhe unusually ate more than half a bowl. Father Jiangughed, and remarked, "Zheers appetite is really good today."


    Jiang Zheughed and said nothing.


    Father Jiang was amazed. Although his eldest son still spoke little like usual, he somehow feels different today, especially with that small smile lingering on his lips. He looked simr to those well-studied schrs, possessing an unexinable elegance.


    Sure enough, studying more is good.


    Father Jiang was very satisfied with his eldest son. With happiness in his heart, he brought up an old topic, Zheer, Dad worked so hard to build our family business from scratch. We cannot let it copse. You have achieved so much in your studies today, when are you going toe to the shop to learn a little? Help reduce Dads workload earlier."


    Once the words came out, the entire hall became silent. Mother Jiang looked worriedly at her son, afraid that he would storm out in anger.


    Concubine Shu wrung her handkerchief, lowering her head to prevent the joy in her eyes from leaking out.


    Everyone stared nervously at Jiang Zhe, waiting for an answer.


    Jiang Zhe: "If Father doesnt despise that your son has no experience, then I can start tomorrow."


    Father Jiang was stunned, Mother Jiang was dazed, Concubine Shu was dumbfounded, and even Li Cai Wei looked at him strangely, let alone other people.


    Father Jiang eximed excitedly, but still somewhat uncertain, "Really?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I dont take back my words."


    Father Jiang: "Hahaha! Good, good! What a good phrase!"


    Father Jiang was just too ted. He put down his chopsticks and immediately called the housekeeper, "Uncle Fu, go, bring me my wine jars. This old man wants to drink with Zheer today to our hearts content. Today is really a happy asion."


    Uncle Fu: "Yes, Old Master."


    After 2 whole hours, lunch was finally over. Father Jiang finally left unstably with the support of Mother Jiang and their servants.


    The others gave a sigh of relief  they could finally leave.


    Li Cai Wei walked over to Jiang Zhe and said concernedly, "How are you?"


    Jiang Zhes face was red. He shook his head and sobered up slightly. "Im alright. Apany me for a walk in the gardenter."


    Li Cai Wei: "Alright."


    Only after Jiang Zhe and his wife left did Concubine Shu poke angrily at her childrens heads, loudly scolding: "What use do the two of you have? I wont talk about Jiang Yu, but Jiang Chen, you are a boy. Other than the Old Master and Jiang Zhe, you are the oldest. I dont expect you to improve in your studies and overtake Jiang Zhe, but you better sweeten up your mouth a bit more. During the whole afternoon, I only saw Jiang Zhe acting filial and respectful, but what about you? What were you doing? Does the ground have gold? You just kept staring at the ground!"


    The brother and sister pair were scolded till they couldnt lift their heads up. Jiang Yu looked like she was going to cry.


    Concubine Shu took one look at them and got even angrier, "Go, go away. Dont stand in front of me; looking at you will only make me angry."


    Jiang Chen/Jiang Yu: "Then were going, Concubine Mother."


    Concubine Shu waved her hands: "Just go."


    -


    [*Chinese culture is such that the younger generations have to wait till the older generations start eating before they start eating, as a form of respect.]


    TN: I think this is an ancient world setting? Im not sure, I havent read past what Ive tranted. The term in the original text is , which in modern terms would be maternal aunt. This was what I thought of at first. However, at the end, Jiang Chen/Jiang Yu also call their mother , which led me to believe that it is actually the older usage of the word, being a term to refer to their fathers concubines. Thus I ultimately changed it to Concubine Mother. But I may be wrong, and if I find any discrepancies in the further texts I wille back and rectify the mistakes.

    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (3)</strong>


    The Jiang Estate was an extremelyrge house covering argend area. Li Cai Wei supported the tipsy Jiang Zhe over the courtyard gate, slowly following the veranda corridor. The flowers in the yard were blooming vibrantly, bringing along a burst of fragrance as the wind blew through asionally.


    Jiang Zhe half-squinted, his voice as clear and cold as the moon on a cold night, "Cai Wei."


    Li Cai Wei: "Hm?"


    Jiang Zhe originally wanted to apologize. The words were at the tip of his tongue, but he couldnt bring himself to say it.


    The atmosphere gradually became awkward. Shui Gen and Cui Xi were only three steps away and they held their breaths, afraid to breathe.


    After a long time.


    Jiang Zhe opened his mouth once again, "Is Younger Brother Ming doing well recently?"


    Li Cai Wei looked at him doubtfully, then nodded: "Yes."


    Jiang Zhe: ""


    After that short conversation, the journey was silent all the way till Li Cai Wei sent Jiang Zhe back to his room. As she turned around to leave, the man lying on the bed finally opened his mouth, "The amount you can learn from Qing He Town is limited. It is better to study in a big city. Not to mention other benefits, just experiencing and expanding your horizons in a big city is enough benefits."


    Li Cai Wei stood stunned in the same ce, her heart mouring to leave but her feet were like lead  she couldnt lift them no matter how much she tried.


    Jiang Zhe was still going on, "Younger Brother Ming should have turned fifteen this year."


    Li Cai Wei: "Yes."


    Jiang Zhe gave a long sigh, "Fifteen years old is no longer young. If we were in a smaller house, he would probably have married and had children already."


    Li Cai Weis hands that were hanging down beside her body gradually clenched tightly.


    Jiang Zhe: "Tomorrow, I will follow my father to study in the shop. Being at home alone, you would probably feel strange and cold. I was thinking of calling Younger Brother Ming back. On weekdays, hell be studying. On weekends, he cane over and visit, apanying you to chat. If hes interested, he can also help around at the store."


    Li Cai Wei: "You"


    Li Cai Wei looked at Jiang Zhe in aplicated mood, wanting to read his face and find out if he was being sincere or just using words to deceive her.


    However, Jiang Zhes face was too calm, and she could not gleam anything from it.


    Li Cai Weiughed bitterly at herself. What she was expecting? How could the words of a drunken man mean anything?She also doesnt have any value for Jiang Zhe to go so far for her.


    She was no longer the original Lis family Eldest Youngest Miss.


    Li Cai Wei lowered her eyes, silently leaving the room alone. Behind her, Jiang Zhe opened his eyes, his eyes clear with no trace of drunkenness.


    He looked at the door faintly as his eyes darkened, not giving any clues to his thoughts.


    The next day, Jiang Zhe got up early. At 7am, he was already at the main hall.


    Father Jiang was surprised to see him, I thought you wouldnt be able to get up.


    Uncle Fu also smiled and yed along at the side: Old Master, youve underestimated the Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Master has strong discipline since he was young. Since he said so, then he will definitely do it."


    Jiang Zhe had a polite smile on his face, "Uncle Fu exaggerates."


    Uncle Fu waved: "Eldest Young Master is too modest.


    Father Jiang: "Hahaha, alright, dont stand here praising each other. But this time, Zheer has really wisened up, Im sure you wont go wrong in the future." Then he turned his head and said to Uncle Fu: "You can start serving the meal."


    The Jiang family''s breakfast was varied and exquisite, but the portion on each te was very small, probably to avoid wasting food.


    Jiang Zhe quietly ate porridge, his internal evaluation of Father Jiang rising a little higher.


    After the father son duo finished their breakfast, they took a car and went out. The other people would eat when they woke up.


    The Jiang family seemed to have only stricter rules for lunch and dinner.But thats not right either. From the original souls memory, it seems that the rules are only particrly strict when Father Jiang was at home. Other times, the rules were much more lenient, or even go-with-the-flow.


    Mother Jiang was also an especially traditional woman, paying special attention to the rules. However, the current situation was due to Father Jiangs words.


    It became this way because Mother Jiang was in poor health.


    But if Father Jiang really cared about Mother Jiang, then why would he marry Concubine Shuter on.


    The car rocked as it drove on. Jiang Zhe sat in the back seat, closing his eyes pretending to sleep, but his mind kept thinking about the situation.


    Driver: "Old Master, Eldest Young Master, weve arrived at the shop."


    Jiang Zhe got off first, and the ancient and majestic que entered his sight.


    "Jiang''s Clothing Shop." He muttered, his face calm with no fluctuations.


    Father Jiang walked up to him, his eyes filled with pride and satisfaction that could not be concealed, "It isnt time to open yet. Wait till the sun rises, the entire shop front will be worn out by the iing customers."


    Jiang Zhe smoothlyplimented, "Father is really amazing. Son is ashamed.


    Father Jiang: "Don''t say that. You are my son. The tiger father doesnt breed dog sons*. Dad believes in you; you will definitely be able to surpass me."


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    The two men looked over the shop exterior, then entered another courtyard. In therge courtyard, the many male and female workers had already begun to work. A woman dressed as a manager flittered around, asionally giving the workers instructions.


    The shopkeeper introduced, "That is the newly promoted female manager in the courtyard, Miss Li. She is both diligent and intelligent. Ever since she was promoted, the cloth dyed by the workers she manages has always looked better than the others."


    Father Jiang nodded slightly, while Jiang Zhe listened quietly.


    Not only does he know that the other partys brain is intelligent, he also knows that her husband just passed away, she was chased out of her husbands house, almost lost her job at the dye workshop, and relied on her connections with the shopkeeper beside him to secure her manager position today.


    Unfortunately, this shopkeeper was ultimately still discarded after the other party used him to climb higher.


    Yes, he was the next target for her to climb.


    Using the entire morning, Jiang Zhe followed behind Father Jiang, learning all about the dye workshop.


    For lunch, he grabbed a quick bite before once again following Father Jiang to understand the Jiang familys business.


    When he returned home at night, he was too tired to even eat.


    Father and Mother Jiang could not persuade him to eat, and could only signal their daughter-inw to look after him a little more.


    -


    *The tiger father doesnt breed dog sons Its a saying in Chinese that is basically trying to say that if the father is outstanding, the son will be too (or not too far off). In English, the appledoesn''t fall far from the tree would be equivalent to this Chinese saying.


    TN: They used (car) and had a driver in the texts, so Im thinking this still takes ce in the modern settings? But he did take Shu as a second wife, so Ill continue using Concubine Shu as her title. If anyone is ufortable with that and can rmend me a different title to use, I would be thankful. Concubine just feels weird to me if were talking about modern settings

    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (4)</strong>


    The solemn traditional room was matched with crystalmps, phonographs and other western decorations, giving it a disharmonious atmosphere.


    After Li Cai Wei gave Cui Xi the signal to retire from the room, she carried a bowl of in porridge and stepped in with a pair of embroidered cloth shoes.


    Jiang Zhe was lying on the bed. His eyelids didnt even twitch when he heard the footsteps; he was just too tired.


    Li Cai Wei tentatively called out twice, "Jiang Zhe? Jiang Zhe?"


    No response.


    In the empty room, only a gentle and soft female voice reverberated.


    Li Cai Wei gave up calling him.Jiang Zhe thought that she would leave, so he could finally rx and rest.


    Suddenly, the bed beside him sank down. Thanks to his many years of training, Jiang Zhe was a master of acting and did not give anything away.


    Therefore, Li Cai Wei only heard the man''s light snoring, which was inexplicably a little cute.


    She wiped the mans face with a handkerchief, her eyes roaming across the familiar, yet unfamiliar face.


    Jiang Zhe unconsciously became nervous.


    Briefly, he felt dampness on his lips, and a mouthful of soft porridge was pushed into his mouth.


    Again and again, the sweet light porridge slid down his throat and into his stomach, filling his empty stomach.


    Jiang Zhe could no longer tell whether it was the porridge, or the soft gentle lips that was sweet.


    In his mind, he could even clearly depict the graceful curvature of that soft lips.


    There wasnt much in a bowl of porridge. In merely a few minutes, Li Cai Wei was done feeding him.


    She carefully got out of bed, and when she was going to leave, she identally saw the man''s hand firmly clenched by his side.


    Instantly, it felt like freezing water poured over her head, cold to the bone. Her body trembled, and she saw ck spots before her eyes.


    Did he hate her that much?


    That he needed to be so patient, so restrained.


    Her sight gradually blurred, and without her knowing, tears were already flowing from her eyes.


    Jiang Zhe heard her movements and opened his eyes in confusion. A beautiful crying face entered his eyes.


    His pupils shrank, his nose opened and closed, as if he saw something incredible.


    Those pair of sad eyes was too simr.


    Jiang Yan closed his eyes and pressed down the memories that should have been forgotten. Once he opened his eyes again, he had regained his cold personality.


    Li Cai Wei was shocked when he opened his eyes, only now did she react and hurriedly turned around and left.


    The system couldnt help but call out for her sake, "Why didnt you stop her?"


    Jiang Zhe asked bewilderedly, "Why should I?"


    System:


    You really deserve to be single.


    The system was angered away by him.Jiang Zhe sat alone on his bed.


    The drowsiness had alreadyrgely dissipated with his full stomach.


    Thinking about it, he touched his lips, some images appearing in his mind uncontrobly.


    The next morning at the Jiang familys main hall.


    Father Jiang was eating a meat bun, as he looked at Jiang Yan strangely. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, Dad thought you would rest longer.


    Jiang Zhe: Father once taught this son, one should persevere at ones job."


    Father Jiang: "That makes sense. Quickly, eat. After eating, follow Dad around again today."


    Jiang Zhe nodded.


    Before leaving the house, Jiang Zhe called Shui Gen over and whispered something into his ear. Shui Gen widened his eyes, and hurriedly nodded.


    Father Jiang said teasingly, Zheer also has his secrets now, going to keep it from Dad.


    Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and said, Its not a big deal. I asked Shui Gen to bring Younger Brother Ming to Yun City.


    Father and son chatted while walking one after another. Father Jiang raised an eyebrow, "Dad still remembers the past, when you werent very close with AMing. How did you suddenly think to bring him over and y?"


    Jiang Zhe shook his head, "Father misunderstood. This son wants to transfer Younger Brother Ming to Yun City to study."


    Father Jiang''s footsteps suddenly stopped. He turned around to face Jiang Zhe: "Are you serious?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Yes."


    Father Jiang looked at him confused, Does your mother know about this?


    Jiang Zhe: This son will coax Mother.


    The father and son duo were conflicted for a while, but Father Jiang eventually gave in, Okay. Youre all grown up now and can make your own decisions.


    A small smile bloomed on Jiang Zhes face, "Thank you Father."


    Father Jiang: "Oh, Dad is Dad, what Father? You schrs like to blindly follow the books. Calling me Father, how distant.


    Jiang Yan pursed his lips, Dad.


    Father Jiang was satisfied, "En."


    The two men got on the car. Father Jiang opened his mouth again, "Zheer, Dad isnt deliberately picking at your sore spots. Dad knows that you schrs have very high esteem, and look down on businessmen like Dad."


    Jiang Zhe lowered his eyebrows.


    Father Jiang: "But this is life, not something you can get through by knowing words or creating poems. The daily food you eat and clothes you wear, which one doesnt need money, am I right?"


    Jiang Zhes gaze sharpened, "Dad is right."


    Father Jiang patted his shoulder with relief, "Its good that you understand. You are my son, I wont hurt you. When youre out of theforts of home, its nothing to be defeated sometimes. After you recover from the setbacks, you are still the Master of the house, do you understand Dad?"


    Father Jiang said it in a roundabout way, but Jiang Zhe understood. Father Jiang was worried that when he conducts his business in the future, he would be unable to put down his status, and thus used this opportunity to exin it to him.


    If it was the original soul, he would probably argue vehemently about it. Jiang Zhe, on the other hand, understood the meaning in Father Jiangs advice.


    He didnt dare to put it too seriously, in case he triggered his sons rebellious heart. However, he didnt dare put it too lightly, in case his son suffers losses in the hands of others.


    It was a perfect example of the pitiful, misunderstood hearts of all parents around the world.


    Jiang Zhe face was solemn, but his eyes continued to look forward, "Thank you for your teachings, this son will remember it in his heart."


    Father Jiang was happy, and his eyes were full of smiles. He took Jiang Zhes hand and patted it, You are undoubtedly Dads good son.


    -


    TN: I couldnt resist doing this chapter,rgely because the first 3 chapters seem to be more on setting the stage for the story. This chapter gives us more information on Jiang Zhes internal conflict and his rtionship with Li Cai Wei (as well as a bit more action) and that makes me happy.


    Last chapter for the week! Probably.

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 5


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (5)</strong>


    Every day, Jiang Zhe busied himself following behind Father Jiang from morning till night.


    When Li Cai Wei didn''t see him for a half a month consecutively, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, at the same time also feeling a faint sense of disappointment and self-ridicule.


    What happened that night was way too embarrassing; for her to not meet Jiang Zhe now can also be considered a good thing.


    Perhaps in his heart, he has alreadybelled her as a frivolous woman.


    Li Cai Wei was immersed in her thoughts. As she was distracted by her thoughts, she did not pay attention and the needle pricked her fingertip, drawing blood.


    Cui Xi hurried to get gauze to dress her wound, nagging, "Young Mistress, you can leave these clothes to us servants. You dont have to do so much."


    Li Cai Wei: "Its just something I picked up to upy my time."


    Cui Xi sighed: "Eldest Young Master was really too busy these days, if not he could still bring Young Mistress out to y."


    Li Cai Wei smiled and did not speak.Her heart was clear that based on Jiang Zhes past behaviour, he would definitely not be willing to bring her out.


    She looked down at the embroidered shoes on her feet and had to admit that they did not look as good as high heels.


    And she, she can''t afford high heels.


    If it was said out loud, everyone would probablyugh. How could the Jiang familys Young Mistress be unable to afford even a pair of shoes? But the reality was as such.


    Her father-inw was busy with the business, her mother-inw guarded against her like she was a thief, and her husband?Her husband probably spurns her existence deep down in his heart.


    Why was she so muddle-headed that night?


    Li Cai Wei rubbed her forehead in annoyance. Cui Xi was puzzled, but she still remembered to stop her, "Young Mistress, what are you doing? Are you feeling dizzy?"


    LiCai Wei: "Its nothing."


    Cui Xi carefully looked at her, determining the Young Mistress was really okay, before she rxed. She picked up the needlework beside her and continued to sew.


    Li Cai Wei gave a few words of advice from time to time, "If you want to sew it here, why not embroider an orchid? Itplements the colour of the clothes, and also gives it a refreshing new style, such that it can be worn as new set of clothes."


    Cui Xi: "Yes, why didnt I think of it? Sure enough, Young Mistress knows best. When I finish sewing the clothes and bring it home, Queer that brat will be so happy. Young Mistress, you are so talented. The Eldest Young Master marrying you was really a blessing to the Jiang family."


    Cui Xi was a girl prone to talking. Li Cai Wei hadnt had any thoughts of dismissing her ever since she decided to groom her to stay by her side.


    Looking back now, her original decision was correct.


    Its just that Cui Xi has suffered, following her, a Young Mistress with no future.


    Cui Xi was still talking on non-stop. Li Cai Wei looked at her mouth still moving, her thoughts unknowingly drifting again.


    Back then, when the Li family had not yet fallen, she was still a carefree Eldest Miss of the Li family. One day, she brought her younger brother out to y, but identally got her purse stolen.


    Fortunately, a valiant young man helped her.She remembered that the sun on that day was just right and the breeze was not dry. He strode toward her one step at a time, the golden sunlight bathing his body in a soft glow, softening his face.


    He said: "Lady, your purse."


    There was no smile on his face, and his brow was even slightly wrinkled. But towards that pair of calm eyes, her heart thumped, and she didn''t even dare to look at him.When she raised her head again, all she saw was his handsome back.


    After returning home, she asked people to investigate, and found out that the man was actually the Jiang familys eldest son.


    Later on, when her father asked if she would be willing to marry into the Jiang family, she agreed without hesitation.


    Unfortunately, the Li family fell too fast. Before she returned to her senses, her father had already hung himself, her mother followed in grief, and her younger brother matured overnight.


    With their past days of glory shattered, they couldnt even afford their parents funeral expenses.


    Fortunately, Father Jiang kept his promise. He did not destroy the marriage, and gave timely support, allowing them to conduct a decent funeral for their parents.


    To repay the kindness, and to continue her younger brother''s studies, she married into the Jiang family within a hundred days despite peoples criticisms*.


    However, after she married into the Jiang family, it was not as beautiful as she thought. The man was not a harbour that could shelter her from the harsh winds and cold rain.


    Li Cai Wei took back her thoughts of running away, picking up the needle again.


    No matter how many unrealistic fantasies she had previously, it had all be nothing now.


    It was better to face reality.


    The sharp needle pierced the cloth, mending a torn area in two to three stitches.


    Cui Xi took a look, stroking the stitches, and praised sincerely, "Young Mistress, this stitch is really exquisite. Your craft is really good."


    Li Cai Wei: "Its nothing."


    Cui Xi: "Young Mistress, you cant say that. Such excellent needlework cannot be achieved by just anyone."


    The two of them chatted one-sidedly, when someone came to pass a message, "Young Mistress, Young Mistress, your younger brother came. Hes waiting in the main hall."


    Li Cai Wei looked up suddenly: "What did you say?"


    Young Mistress, your brother is here, waiting in the main hall."


    Li Cai Wei felt that she was hearing things. Only when Cui Xi pulled on her, did she rush out.


    In the main hall, Shui Gen was serving tea and pastries, showing warm hospitality.


    Li Ming was a bit ufortable. "Brother Shui Gen, you dont have to do this. Im only here to visit my sister."


    Shui Gen: "Sir Li, dont put this servant in a spot. The Eldest Young Master gave instructions to serve you well. If he knew I slighted you in any way, he will be mad with me."


    Li Ming: "But"


    Shui Gen: "Sir Li, dont protest. Ive already gotten people to pass on the message. The Young Mistress will be here shortly."


    Li Ming: "Alright."


    The two men waited for a few minutes before Li Cai Wei came over. She had run all the way, her hair messily blown by the wind. When she saw the boy in the main hall, her eyes turned red.


    She ran over excitedly and hugged Li Ming: "ADi, are you okay?"


    Li Ming nodded and smiled: "Im doing good, sis."


    *Chinese culture has it that you are supposed to observe a period of mourning for your loved ones who passed away. It is likely that the criticism she attracted has both to do with marrying up the socialdder, as well as having a happy asion despite only burying her parents a few months ago.

    Chapter 6


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (6)</strong>


    In the main hall, the brother-sister duo hugged and cried, the atmosphere just right. Suddenly, an untimely voice rang out.


    Concubine Shu swayed over: "And I thought it was someone important. It turns out to be someone who came here to leech off our familys riches."


    Li Ming and Li Cai Weis faces changed. Li Cai Wei almost couldnt keep the polite small smile on her face, and Li Mings face had turnedpletely red.


    It was Shui Gen who stepped out to mediate the situation: Concubine Shu is joking, Sir Li is the Eldest Young Masters brother-inw, how could he be someone like that?"


    Concubine Shu smiled and did not speak, but everyone could feel that arrogant attitude of hers.


    Concubine Shu: "Alright, the Eldest Young Master is an important person busy with matters. I don''t know if he still remembers that his upright brother-inw is visiting today."


    Apologies for making Concubine Shu worried. It is rare for Younger Brother Ming to visit. As his brother-inw, no matter how busy I am, I will still make time to entertain him. A familiar male voice came from outside the door. Jiang Zhe held his hands behind his back and walked slowly toward everyone.


    He nodded slightly at Li Ming, "There were a lot of things on hand. I apologise for beingte, I hope Younger Brother Ming can forgive me."


    Li Ming had already been shocked silly. He waved his hands stiffly, saying, "Brother-inw is too serious."


    Jiang Zhes lips hooked up, instructing Shui Gen, "Younger Brother Ming has had a long journey. Go instruct the kitchen to make some light and easily digestible food. "


    Shui Gen: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."


    Jiang Zhe looked at the servant standing at attention by the side, What are you still dazing for, dont you see there are guests? Serve the tea and snacks.


    Servants: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."


    Li Cai Wei was already stunned. She stared at the man in front of her, a ridiculous idea emerging from her frozen heart.


    Jiang Zhe doing this is giving her face?


    But how is this possible?


    As if to break her previous knowledge, Jiang Zhe slowly walked to Li Cai Weis side, gently holding on to her shoulders, his gaze gentle, "It is rare for Younger Brother Ming to visit. We should let him visit Mother."


    Li Ming also recovered his senses, "So thats the reason." He turned around, rummaged his luggage and took out a small box, handing it over with both hands, "To visit so suddenly is a little brazen of me. This is just a small gift showing my sincerity, I hope you dont mind it."


    Jiang Zhe gave a polite smile, but still received the box, saying, "We are all one family, theres no need to be so polite. Let''s go. At this time, Mother should be embroidering in the backyard."


    Jiang Zhe held onto Li Cai Wei and walked in front, Li Ming and Shui Gen followed closely behind, and Concubine Shu was once again thoroughly ignored.


    Just nice, the tea was served, "Concubine Shu, please have some tea."


    Concubine Shu angrily toppled the teacup, her chest heaving up and down, "Drink, what drink! Im already full on anger."


    On the other side, Jiang Zhe held onto Li Cai Weis hand as they walked along the veranda corridor. Passing through two doorways, they finally walked into the courtyard where Mother Jiang lived.


    It was about 11 o''clock in the morning and the sun was just right. Mother Jiang, being attended to by her servants, had eaten a bowl of birds nest and was now taking a stroll in the courtyard. Suddenly meeting her son, she was happily surprised, "Zheer, why are you back?


    Jiang Zhe released his wifes hand and stepped forward to support Mother Jiang. He smiled: Im not busy today, so I came home to apany Mother to eat. Just nice, Younger Brother Ming arrived, so I brought him to visit you."


    Li Ming immediately sped his hands and bowed: "I have met Aunt."


    Mother Jiang held on to her sons hands, extremely ted. Her good mood extended to Li Ming, "We are all one family, no need to be so polite."


    Turning her head, she asked Jiang Zhe, "You, too, are too much. You are so busy; you don''t have to go back and forth. Its enough for me to have Cai Wei apany me for lunch." Despite saying that, the smile on her face couldnt be stopped.


    Jiang Zhe let her say her piece and did not refute.He helped her into the house.The Li familys brother-sister duo looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.


    However, they were both patient people who are able to endure, and they quietly followed.


    Jiang Zhe personally poured a ss of water for Mother Jiang, helping her to sit down, asking after concernedly, "Is Mothers health good recently?"


    Mother Jiangughed: "Good, the doctor said that it is much better than before."


    Jiang Zhe: "Mother is in good health, this son can rx while working outside."


    Mother Jiang: "Zheer, rest assured that for you and your father, Mother will take care of herself."


    Jiang Zheonce again pulled her to chat about other matters. No matter how small the topic was, every time Jiang Zhe brought up a topic, Mother Jiang could talk about it for half a day. Jiang Zhe remained by her side,ughing and listening, and asionally adding one or two sentences in.


    Mother Jiang was initially worried that her son would be impatient. Who knew that Jiang Zhes attitude would be so good, the moment she started talking, she couldnt stop.


    Jiang Zhe poured water for her by her side, so that she would not be thirsty after speaking so much.


    Without knowing, time passed and the clocks bell rang at twelve o''clock.


    Mother Jiang was stunned; she had identally spoken for too long.


    Mother Jiang: "Zheer, I"


    Jiang Zhe patted her hand, his face seemingly guilty, "Its this son who has been bad, not apanying Mother regrly. I wont do so again in the future.


    En. Mother Jiangs eyes turned red. She turned around at rubbed the corner of her eyes. Behind her, Zhang Ma was happy for her.


    Jiang Zhe called Shui Gen over, instructing: "You can serve the food now."


    Shortly, exquisite dishes were brought up, including a te of steamed sea. Jiang Zhe used his chopsticks to pick out the bones, then ced some fish meat in Mother Jiangs bowl, "The sea bass has less bones, and is fresh and nutritious. Mother can eat more."


    Mother Jiang was already so happy she was at a loss of words, the smile on her face never once dropping.She picked up the fish meat and took a bite. Indeed, there was no fish bone. She was unsure if it was just an illusion, but the beautiful fish meat actually had an additionally sweet taste.


    During the whole meal, Jiang Zhe did not eat much, only giving Mother Jiang food.


    After the meal, Jiang Zhe continued to apany Mother Jiang to chat, until it was almost 1pm. He seemed to remember something and knocked his forehead. "Mother, I have something to discuss with you."


    Mother Jiang: "Go ahead."


    Jiang Zhe: "I want to transfer Younger Brother Mings school over. This is what I think. Younger Brother Ming previously also followed Uncle Li in managing his business. He has experience and now that Im getting busier every day, and I cant just trust anyone, if Younger Brother Ming is sessful after studying, he can also help me. This way, I can have more time in the future toe home more often and apany Mother.


    Mother Jiang, who was initially still hesitant, was immediately moved by her sonsst sentence. She almost immediately agreed to it.


    Jiang Zhe smiled and said: "Sure enough, Mother is the most kind, gentle and understanding woman in Yun City. For this son to have a mother like you, is my blessing."


    Mother Jiang was embarrassed from the praise, hurriedly waving her hands, "Zheer has exaggerated." She immediately turned her head towards the people around her, saying, "Zhang Ma, clean up a guest roomter for Minger to rest tonight. After that, prepare a few fitted clothes and send it over. Right, Minger needs to study. Prepare some school supplies and books as well."


    Jiang Zhehad been listening and smiling, giving Mother Jiang a grateful and approving look from time to time. As such, Li Ming''s school has been confirmed, the housing problem has been solved, and the living expenses have also been taken care of.


    Li Ming was simply spoiled rotten.


    On the other hand, Li Cai Wei looked at Jiang Zhes gentleness, in deep thought.


    TN: Not sure to trante Zhang Ma as it is, as it is a more familiar, intimate way to call someone who has served you for many years. It still refers to an attendant, though.

 Chapter 7

    Chapter 7


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (7)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe stayed at Mother Jiangs courtyard till three o''clock. He coaxed her to take an afternoon nap before leaving with the Li familys brother and sister duo.


    As Zhang Ma sent him out, he stopped talking.


    Jiang Zhe resumed his previous cold appearance: "What does Zhang Ma want to say?"


    Zhang Ma stammered out: "When will Eldest Young Mastere over again?"


    Jiang Zhe thought for a moment: "I am not busy on the 10th. At noon, I wille back to apany Mother for lunch."


    Zhang Ma was happy. "Good, good. I will let the servants below prepare the food on the 10th."


    Jiang Zhe expressed neither approval nor anger.


    Then he took the stunned silly brother and sister back to the courtyard where he lived, closing the door before saying, "Previously, there were some words said just to make Mother happy. Younger Brother Ming, please dont mind it."


    Li Ming: "Its nothing, brother-inw does not have to be so polite."


    Jiang Zhe: "I transferred your school over; I only hope you will learn what you want to learn. In the future if you wish to help me, I will wee you. If you have other ambitions, I will also respect you."


    Li Ming did not know what to say, his face turning red from excitement, incoherently giving his thanks: "Brother-inw, thank you. I, I do not know how to repay your kindness."


    Jiang Zhe: "Okay. If you really want to repay me, just study hard. If you learn well, Cai Wei will be happy too."


    Suddenly named, Li Cai Wei was slightly surprised. Facing her younger brother''s suspicious and puzzled gaze, she smiled and nodded: "Yes, learning well is also a way to repay your brother-inw''s careful cultivation."


    Li Ming heavily nodded his head: "En."


    Jiang Zhe saw that the two people''s atmosphere was just right. Originally, he wanted to say that he still had business to finish and leave first, letting Cai Wei guide Li Ming around.


    However, seeing the clothes on her body and sweeping his sight over her shoes, he paused thoughtfully for a moment before changing his words: Since Younger Brother Ming is here today, it is better to let things naturally take its course. How about this, I will bring and guide both of you out today."


    Li Cai Wei: "The two of you can go, I will-"


    Jiang Zhe intercepted her words, Its not good for you to stay at home all the time. You should asionally go out and take a walk."


    He also told Shui Gen: "Go to the clothing shop and tell Father that I will settle everything tomorrow, and that he need not worry."


    Shui Gen: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."


    Jiang Zhe turned around, holding onto Cai Wei and said to Li Ming: Lets go.


    Li Ming: "Ok."


    The three of them got in the car. Jiang Zhe specifically mentions, "Dont drive too fast; I want to watch the scenery."


    Li Cai Wei raised her head to look at him, her heart already in a turmoil.


    There were too many surprises, causing her to be at a loss as to how she should react.


    Li Ming ultimately still had a young man''s heart. Although he felt that his sister was being a little weird, his eyes were instantly attracted to the bustling urban scenery outside the window.


    As the car passed a clothing store, Jiang Zhe suddenly called for it to stop.


    Li Cai Wei: "What''s wrong?"


    Jiang Zhe said sintly: "Get off."


    Other than the driver, Li Ming also came down. Jiang Zhe took them into the store.


    Immediately, someone came forward and asked: "May I ask what would these esteemed guests like to buy?"


    Jiang Zhe pulled Li Cai Wei over: "I want to buy some fashionable dresses for my wife."


    Li Cai Wei: "Jiang Zhe, I-"


    Jiang Zhe ignored her, and continued: "The colour should not be too bright; it should be light, elegant and fitting."


    "Okay, sir."


    Soon, three sets of beautiful little dresses were brought out. Jiang Zhe looked at it and thought it was quite good. He turned his head to Li Cai Wei and said, "Try?"


    Li Cai Wei: "No need."


    Jiang Zhe paid: "Then well buy everything."


    Li familys sister and brother:


    Was that what she/Sister meant?


    However, after Jiang Zhe paid, Li Cai Wei looked at the extra bags that appeared, her eyes twitching: "This is?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Three sets for Mother, one set for Father."


    Li Cai Wei: "Oh."


    Jiang Zhe threw the clothes into the car, and headed to the next ce.


    Small leather shoes, high-heeled shoes, perfumes, the various western items, Jiang Zhe almost bought all of it. Finally, only when the car was stuffed full did he stop.


    Li Ming was already slouched in the seat, panting.


    God, brother-inw really knows how to buy things. His legs had almost stopped working.


    At seven o''clock in the evening, the car slowly drove back to the Jiang estate.


    Jiang Zhe picked out a few clothes and let Cui Xi send it back to Li Cai Weis room first, before getting people to move the rest of the items in the car into the main hall.


    Father Jiang also came back early today. When Jiang Zhe came in, he was just nice in time to have dinner together as a family.


    Jiang Zhe also didnt say much, just distributing the presents to everyone. Undoubtedly, Mother Jiang received the most gifts.


    Sheughed while rebuking him: "The house has all these things, why did you bother wasting the money?"


    Jiang Zhe gave a small smile: "What the house has, and what this son has bought, is different. This is your sons thoughtfulness."


    Father Jiangs unhappiness towards his sons AWOL also dissipated, and he told Mother Jiang: "Zheer is right, this is our son''s thoughtfulness. You should just ept it."


    Mother Jiang smiled widely and said: "Good, good, good. I will keep it."


    Jiang Zhe brought the Li familys brother and sister to their seats to eat dinner, seemingly unintentionally mentioning, "Thanks to Cai Wei for reminding me today, otherwise I wouldnt even know that Mother''s clothes have be outdated. It''s just that Im usually busy, and will have some oversights. Therefore, I intend to give her some pocket money. If Mothercks anything in the future, she can help buy it. However, this son still wants to be a good man. In the future, Cai Wei will buy the gifts and this son will personally give it to Mother. Mother should not me this son for not being sincere."


    Mother Jiang: "This"


    Others also looked in confusion at Li Cai Wei.


    Jiang Zhe pretended to be ignorant: Whats wrong?


    Mother Jiang: Its nothing, just that Mother has always been the one guarding the money at home


    Jiang Zhe: If thats so, then never mind. Mother has the money in hand, and can buy whatever she wants to buy, its even more convenient."


    Mother Jiang was dumbfounded.The other people were also stunned, they still thought


    Didnt expect that Jiang Zhe was really just casually mentioning it.


    Mother Jiang was anxious, and waved her hands,ughing: "The ones that Zheer gifts is naturally not the same as the one Mother buys for herself. Since Cai Wei is still the Jiang familys Young Mistress, how could she not have any money on hand, right?


    Jiang Zhe swallowed the vegetables in his mouth, nodded naturally.


    Mother Jiang sneaked a sigh of relief. Father Jiang looked at him and smiled helplessly.


    This stinky boy.


    TN: Towards the end of this chapter, it actually says that Jiang Zhe nodded his head disapprovingly. However, it doesnt really make sense in that context so I changed it to naturally.

 Chapter 8

    Chapter 8


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (8)</strong>


    After dinner, Jiang Zhe said goodbye to his parents, before instructing Shui Gen: "Take Younger Brother Ming to the guest room to rest."


    Shui Gen: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."


    Li Ming: "Then, brother-inw, big sister, Ill be going."


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    After sending Li Ming away, Jiang Zhe brought Li Cai Wei and slowly walked back to his courtyard.


    Following behind them, Cui Xi was extremely anxious. The Eldest Young Master has already behaved so obviously, why was the Young Mistress still so dense about it.


    The two of them walked in tandem, not looking like a couple at all.


    Several times, she wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere.But every time she opened her mouth, she swallowed her words back down.


    To put it bluntly, she is only a servant of the Jiang family. It is only thanks to the grace of the Young Mistress, that she doesnt discipline her usually. If she rashly opened her mouth and made the Eldest Young Master unhappy, even the Young Mistress cant save her.


    After a short distance, Cui Xi was very emotionally tired. Finally sending the two masters back to their courtyard, she made up an excuse to leave.


    Li Cai Wei stood in the same ce, looking at the man in front of her. She thought about the words to use, and carefully asked: "Why did you think of buying gifts today?"


    Jiang Zhe''s hand that was undoing his buttons twitched, and then replied in a nonchnt tone: "I just happened to have time."


    Li Cai Wei: "So that is why."


    A moment of disappointment shed across her face, but it was soon covered up. A gentle voice sounded slowly: "About Younger Brother Mings issues, thank you."


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    Silence once again descended on the two people.


    As if looking for death, Cui Xi dared to bring the water in at this time: QAQ


    Cui Xi: "Eldest Young Master, please wash up."


    Jiang Zhe didnt respond.


    Li Cai Wei quietly watched the man wash up, went to bed, slept, and never said anything extra to her during the whole process.


    She bowed her head andughed at herself.


    Li Cai Wei: "I will go rest in the side room."


    Jiang Zhe did not stop her.


    While Cui Xi sullenly retreats, the system was so angry it almost exploded.


    System: "Are you still a man? Towards such a gentle woman, you act cold sometimes and hot at other times. Doesnt your conscience hurt?"


    Jiang Zheid on bed, his eyes closed, "No. Also, physiologically, I am indeed a man."


    System:


    System: "You are so capable, you must have been holding back just now."


    Jiang Zhe: "No need."


    The system lingered on the edge of the explosion.


    System: "Lord God, I really can''t stand it. I don''t want to be bound this sort of cold-hearted host."


    Jiang Zhe''s heart missed a beat, but he pretended to be calm: "After unbinding, can you still save Lin Xuan?"


    The system gave a coldugh, andviolently erupted, yelling at Jiang Zhe: "Save? Save, my ass! People are standing in front of you, alive, but you dont even know how to cherish them. Your mind only remembers that body. Why dont you go back and hug her corpse to get through life, you necrophile, sick pervert."


    Jiang Zhe:


    However, having gotten the information he wanted, it doesn''t matter if he was harshly scolded a few lines.


    Jiang Zhe entered dreand happily.


    The system was still sulking by itself, persistently calling out "g Man", "Cheater" and "Psychopath" until the middle of the night. When it had scolded enough, it reacted btedly. It seemed to have, maybe, revealed something uneptable.


    System: The smile gradually bes horrified jpg.


    Ah ah ah ah!Jiang Zhe, you beast in human clothing, ck-bellied scum. You were actually evil enough to make such vicious wordse out from the mouth of such a cute system.


    If the Lord God knew, it will definitely be thrown away and rebuilt.


    System:


    The system ran away shamefully. It decided that unless the host is dying, it will no longer take the initiative to appear.


    Where did he go wrong, to give up his cute extra-terrestrial dimension to exchange feelings with this scum man.


    The next day, the sky was barely bright when Jiang Zhe got up. He called Cui Xi, handing her a money bag and a note.


    Jiang Zhe: "When the Young Mistress wakes up, give this to her."


    Cui Xi felt the weight in the money bag, and was shocked. "Eldest Young Master, this, this is too important. Its better for you to personally give it to the youngdy."


    Jiang Zhe instantly stiffened, before regaining his wits, "I am in a hurry. Ill go first."


    Cui Xi: "Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master, Eldest"


    Cui Xi stretched her neck, determined she could no longer see him, before lowering her head in destion: "Eldest Young Master is too much. He clearly arranged everything for Young Mistress, but why doesnt he tell her, always turning a cold face towards the Young Mistress."


    As a servant, even she was anxious.


    Cui Xi: "Fortunately, I am clever. I can just praise him a bit more in front of the youngdy."


    However, Cui Xi was quickly pped in the face. The Young Mistress took the money bag, but only calmly uttered an En sound


    It was so much money!


    Cui Xi: I don''t understand the thoughts of the two masters.


    Cui Xi was stunned, and sloppily handed over the note that Jiang Zhe gave.


    If money can''t make the Young Mistresss face brighten, what was the use of such a note?


    Li Cai Wei suspiciously took the note and opened it: Compared to a dress, Id rather see you wearing a cheongsam.


    Jiang Zhe.


    Li Cai Wei''s heartbeat increased quickly. She read the note again and again incredulously, making sure she didnt see wrong. The writing was really Jiang Zhe''s.


    Still, she was skeptical: "This note is given by the Eldest Young Master?"


    Cui Xi: "Yes, the Eldest Young Master personally gave it to me, asking me to pass it to Young Mistress when she wakes."


    Li Cai Wei: "You don''t know what is written inside?"


    Cui Xi: "Eldest Young Master prohibited me from seeing. And I don''t know how to read, even if I identally saw it, I cant recognise the letters, heh heh."


    Cui Xi rubbed her chin, embarrassed. .


    Li Cai Wei: "Im sorry, I-"


    Cui Xi: "What is Young Mistress saying? Cui Xi is only a servant, for a servant to not know how to read is verymon."


    Li Cai Wei didnt miss the downcast look in Cui Xis eyes, thought about it and said: "If you don''t mind the lowly learnings of this schr, I can teach you how to read during your free time every day.


    Cui Xi: "Really?"


    Cui Xi excitedly hopped up and down, "Heavens, Young Mistress, you are so good."


    -


    TN: My take away from this chapter is that apparently theres many words for necrophile. I initially tranted it to be necromaniac, but I wasnt sure if that was a proper word and wow, there are so many words to describe a love for dead bodies.

 Chapter 9

    Chapter 9


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (9)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe had previously squeezed out the time to handle Li Mings issues.Returning to work, he was so busy every day, sometimes only returning to the Jiang estate in the middle of the night.


    Fortunately, he had a good memory, and continued to pressure himself to settle most of the work before the 10th, so that he could return to the Jiang family at noon.


    Mother Jiang had already prepared big table full of dishes. She stood in front of the door, looking forward to hearing the news that the "Eldest Young Master is back". The smile on her face could not be concealed by anything.


    Mother Jiang pulled Zhang Ma over: "Come, help me see. Do I look alright?"


    Zhang Ma looked carefully and smiled: "Old Madam, rest assured. Your bearing is perfect."


    Mother Jiang was satisfied, and she continued to stare in the direction of the courtyard door.


    After a moment of effort, she asked again, "Why isnt Zheer here yet?"


    Zhang Ma: "My dear Old Madam, the entrance is quite a few doorways away from here. How can it be so fast?"


    Mother Jiang brows wrinkled slightly: "The Old Master is also too much. There are only so many people in the family, whats the use of such a big estate."


    This sentence, Zhang Ma did not dare answer.


    Fortunately, after waiting in anticipation for so long, Jiang Zhe finally appeared. Where would others appear in Mother Jiangs eyes? Walking forward a few steps, she pulled on her sons hands, "Youre so cheeky, to speciallye and visit today. Come, see if the dishes Mother prepared for you suits your appetite."


    Jiang Zhe well-temperedly walked along with her. Mother Jiang was almost the only one talking during the whole lunch, while Jiang Zhe will asionally agree with her, and praise the food when he ate something nice.


    Every time that happened, Mother Jiang would always smile till her eyes closed.


    Mother Jiang said, anticipatory: "If Zheer likes the dishes here, then you shoulde often. It isnt far anyway."


    Jiang Zhe paused while eating, then nodded.


    Mother Jiang face brightened up and she smiled widely, giving him more dishes. "Try this, these are pearl meatballs. Its fresh, tender, round and juicy, salty, sweet and slightly spicy. And this too, this squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is also quite good."


    Jiang Zhe generally would not refuse what was given, but if it was something he didnt like, he would still refuse.


    This undoubtedly made Mother Jiang more energetic.


    Jiang Zhe said helplessly: "Mother, are you not hungry?"


    Mother Jiang: "Mother is not hungry."


    Jiang Zhe:


    He changed the way he said it, "It doesnt taste good for this son to eat alone. Mother, apany this son to eat together. It will be livelier and even eating rice will be delicious.


    Mother Jiang heard his words and hesitated. Zhang Ma advised her by the side: Old Madam, lets listen to the Eldest Young Master, otherwise the Eldest Young Master will be meaninglessly eating alone.


    Mother Jiang: "Alright, then."


    Jiang Zhe used a pair of chopsticks to put some easily digested food in her bowl. "Mother, try some to see if you like it?"


    Mother Jiang: "What my son picks, Mother will like."


    Jiang Zhes smile froze, but it was quickly covered up.


    This type of heavy maternal love makes people not know what to say sometimes.


    Jiang Zhe ate finish lunch, apanied Mother Jiang to chat for a while, and finally couldnt help but close his eyes and nod off.


    Mother Jiang asked concerned: "Zheer is tired?"


    Jiang Zhe: "A little bit."


    Before Mother Jiang could persuade him to stay, Jiang Zhe rushed out: "But I still have things to deal with; I need to go back to the study room first."


    Jiang Mu: "Then alright."


    Mother Jiang reluctantly sent her son away, and returned to the room for a short rest under the persuasion of Zhang Ma.


    Jiang Zhe rushed to his yard, mid-way ordering the Shui Gen: "Let Young Mistress personally send me a pot of Xingshen tea* to the study."


    Shui Gen: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."


    After seven days, this is the first time that Li Cai Wei and Jiang Zhe had an exchange. She heard the message from Shui Gen and couldn''t help but rub her ears. "Are you sure that the Eldest Young Master instructed this?"


    Shui Gen pped his thigh: "Of course, Young Mistress. Without the Eldest Young Masters instructions, how would this servant dare to pass a message."


    Shui Gen: "Young Mistress should hurry, this servant shall return first to the Eldest Young Masters side."


    Li Cai Wei: "Ah? Wait a minute, I"


    By her side, Cui Xi covered her mouth in happiness. Li Cai Wei didnt know whether tough or cry as she patted her, "You, this brat."


    Cui Xi: "Alright, Young Mistress. Now isnt the time to pick on this servant. Eldest Young Master is still waiting for your Xingshen tea."


    Li Cai Wei made a scary face: "Then arent you going to prepare it."


    Cui Xi meekly said: "Yes, Young Mistress."


    After Cui Xi left, Li Cai Wei couldnt resist the smile in her lips.


    In the study room, Jiang Zhe randomly took a travel literature book, and was reading it with relish. Upon hearing the knock on the door, his head didnt even lift as he said: "Come in."


    Li Cai Wei deliberately put on a in white cheongsam with light blue floral embroidery. Wearing a pair of white high-heeled shoes, her entire being looked bright and beautiful, like a blooming orchid, with an illusory fragrance.


    The slender high heel stepped on the floor, giving rise to a regr tempo.


    Jiang Zhe heard it and looked up. He was stunned for a moment, smiling: "Beautiful."


    Li Cai Wei remembered the man to be usually more serious, frowning, and intolerant. This was the first time she saw this man smiling from his heart.


    His eyebrows were arched, and the coldness in his eyes faded, reced by a kind of unclear warmth, simr to the warm sun on a winters day, a cool breeze on a summers day. Though its not strong, but once you experience it, it is impossible to forget.


    His warm praise still echoed in her ears, and without going through her brain, she blurted out what she felt, "You look beautiful too."


    Shui Gen / Cui Xi:  (    | | |) _


    What kind of conversation is this.


    Who praises a man to be beautiful.


    Li Cai Wei also realized that it was wrong. She waved her hands, trying to exin it, only to find that she still had a ss teapot in her hands.


    Jiang Zhe lowered his eyes and chuckled, slowly getting up to walk over to Li Cai Wei. He took the teapot and ced it on the wooden desk, instructing Shui Gen: "Go out and keep watch."


    Shui Gen / Cui Xi: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."


    Before Cui Xi walked out, she turned around and gave Li Cai Wei a bright smile.


    Li Cai Weis ears were burning red. Jiang Zhe poured a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Need to cool down?"


    At this moment, not only was her ears red, but her whole face turned red too.


    -


    *Xingshen tea   Literally Spirit/Mind-waking tea. Its a brew that includes ingredients to help re-energise your mind and wake you up. You can google recipes for it if youd like.


    TN: TEASING HUBBY!! It actually says that Jiang Zhe looks good aka , but I felt like it didnt fit the context because saying a guy looks good isnt anything weird in english, so I changed it to beautiful instead. Usually you would call a guy good-looking or handsome, but Im not sure what kind of connotation  has either, tbh.

 Chapter 10

    Chapter 10


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (10)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe chuckled lightly.


    He withdrew his hand and ced the cup on the table. Circling around the table, he lightly pulled out a chair with both hands, before turning to face Li Cai Wei, not saying a word during the whole process.


    Jiang Zhe stood upright with one hand behind his back, and patted the back of the chair with his other hand, "Take a seat."


    Li Cai Wei: "No need, I-"


    Jiang Zhe locked eyes with her, his gaze soft, his eyes deep like a clear midsummer night sky, full of twinkling stars.


    Jiang Zhe: "I saw it, your ankles are red."


    Li Cai Wei looked down, and sure enough it was red and swollen.


    Li Cai Wei: "That, I, I identally bumped into something when I was out, its nothing."


    Jiang Zhe''s eyes turned dark. Walking forward two steps, he stretched out his arms. Li Cai Wei only felt that the sky was spinning, before her entire body fell into a warm embrace, the honey locust scent on the mans body enveloping her.


    Her cheeks turned red as she struggled to get down.


    Jiang Zhe lowered his head to look at her and whispered: "Don''t move."


    Li Cai Wei really didn''t move, her entire body extremely stiff.


    She didnt even dare to blink.


    Jiang Zhes gaze lowered, hiding the amusement in his eyes, and gently ced her on the wooden chair.Crouching down, he gently took off her high heels.


    Li Cai Wei couldnt hold back a moan.


    Jiang Zhe looked up: "Hurts a lot?"


    Li Cai Wei: "No." Under Jiang Zhe''spelling gaze, she mumbled: "A little bit."


    Jiang Zhe looked into her eyes, "First time wearing?"


    Li Cai Wei: "En, en."


    "Because Father doesn''t like western clothes." Li Cai Wei added on another sentence uneasily.


    Thats why, at that time, even though she liked it and could afford it, she still didnt dare to buy it.


    She remembered there was a time where she and her friends, chasing after new and fashionable items, bought a western-style fountain pen. After her father found out, he was so angry he smashed the pen into pieces. If not for her mother and brother desperately holding him back, she would have been beaten harshly. But even though she escaped a beating, she was still punished by her father to kneel in the ancestral hall for the entire day, and had to rest for a month to recover.


    Today, she originally didn''t want to wear high-heeled shoes. It was only because Cui Xi said, "Women outside usually wear cheongsam with high-heeled shoes." So she changed at thest minute.


    Right now, it was clear that her idea had backfired.Li Cai Wei was frustrated. Indeed, every time she was in front of Jiang Zhe, she could only lose face.


    Jiang Zhe noticed her change in mood, and thoughtfully said: "Most people are not used to wearing high heels the first time. I rarely see women who, wearing high heels for the first time, can still be so elegant."


    Li Cai Weis heart missed a beat, incredulously looking at Jiang Zhe, only to see the man had lowered his head to gently massage her ankles. From her line of sight, she could only see the mans straight nose, and beautiful curved lips.


    Jiang Zhe massaged it tentatively for a while, before withdrawing his hand, his forehead wrinkled, "Your ankle is very swollen. It will need some tincture. Wait here."


    He got up and walked out. Li Cai Wei faintly heard him instructing Shui Gen: "Go take  tincture apply."


    Shui Gen ran off, and quickly came back with a bottle in his hand.


    Jiang Zhe received the bottle and closed the door again.


    Li Cai Wei guessed what he was going to do, feeling happiness in her heart, but also a sense of unreality.


    Li Cai Wei: "I, I can do it myself."


    Jiang Zhe gave her a look and did not speak.


    Li Cai Wei was extremely awkward. She watched with opened eyes as Jiang Zhe once again squatted down in front of her.


    Jiang Zhe: "You cant control the strength."


    Li Cai Wei: "Wha, what?"


    After a while, she finally responded to Jiang Zhes meaning. After that, an acute pain in her ankle red up, and she couldnt resist sucking in a breath in surprise: "Pain." At the same time, her hands subconsciously tightly grasped Jiang Zhe''s shoulder.


    Jiang Zhe frowned, but let it be.


    Using the pain from his shoulder, he gauged the pain that Li Cai Wei was experiencing.


    Fifteen minutester, Jiang Zhe withdrew his hand. Li Cai Wei fell softly back on the chair, cold sweat soaking her body.


    Jiang Zhe wanted to wipe her sweat, only to find that his hands were covered in the tincture.As such, he ordered Shui Gen: "Serve the water."


    Shui Gen replied loudly outside the door: "Yes."


    After Jiang Zhe''s washed his hands clean, he conveniently helped Li Cai Wei to wipe her face. He stopped Cui Xi as she was going out, "Next time, support Young Mistress more when she wears high heels."


    Cui Xi nodded, stunned.


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe: "Forget it."


    Cui Xis face was nk.What does the Eldest Young Master mean?


    From this day onwards, the people of the Jiang estate found that the Eldest Young Master came back earlier and earlier. Every day, Jiang Zhe would always go back to see Mother Jiang first, or eat a light meal, or talk, asionally sending some small trinkets, saying They were picked by Li Cai Wei, not knowing if Mother likes it or not.


    Mother Jiang was too happy, how could she not like? After many of such incidents, she also let down her guard towards Li Cai Wei.


    After the sky turned dark, Jiang Zhe returned to his own courtyard, sometimes in the study, sometimes in the main hall.Without exception, he will always ask Shui Gen to send a message. "Let Young Mistress send some snacks/tea, etc."


    Li Cai Wei held a bowl of bird''s nest and walked into the study. Because of Shui Gens message, the people in the house knew that it was prepared by Young Mistress for Eldest Young Master, so the servants would always prepare good ingredients.


    Jiang Zhe waved Shui Gen away, closed the door, took out a book and sat down, casually saying: "I have no appetite. You drink the bird''s nest."


    Li Cai Wei: "Ah?"


    Jiang Zhe eyes didnt leave the book, patiently repeating: "I let you drink the bird''s nest."


    Li Cai Wei: "But, this is for you."


    Jiang Zhe: "I don''t want to drink."


    Li Cai Wei: "Then Ill let Cui Xi return it to the kitchen."


    Jiang Zhesuddenly put down the book and walked to her. As he passed by the table, he picked up the bird''s nest, stirred it with a spoon and stood before her, saying: "Open your mouth."


    Li Cai Wei subconsciously followed, a spoonful of birds nest suddenly fed into her mouth.


    Li Cai Wei: *Cough, cough* "Jiang"


    Jiang Zhe: "Swallow, then talk."


    Li Cai Wei did as told, "Jiang" *Cough, cough*


    With a few repeats of this scene, the bowl of birds nest had finished.


    Li Cai Wei was a bit sullen, "That birds nest was for you to eat, but now youve given it to me. If Mother knew, she would be unhappy.


    Jiang Zhe still sported a cold look, but looking closer,ughter faintly shed through his eyes, "Then don''t let Mother know."


    Li Cai Wei: "But"


    Jiang Zhe: "I remember that you don''t really know how to walk in high heels. Let''s practice now. I will help to observe and correct you."


    Li Cai Wei''s face was slightly red, but still helplessly nodded to Jiang Zhe''s serious face.


    Jiang Zhe supported her, "Yes, don''t take too big a step. Stick out your chest, raise your head, straighten your knees and take small steps."


    He was like a teacher teaching toddlers to walk, patient and gentle.


    Li Cai Wei subconsciously followed his pace, following Jiang Zhes words and adjusting her posture step by step. Compared to her private practice, it was much easier, and the results were gratifying.


    She looked at the gentle man under the light. In a moment of fascination, she didnt pay attention to her feet, and her body suddenly tilted to one side.


    Jiang Zhe hugged her in time, his eyes showing obvious concern. She heard him ask, "Are you alright?"


    TN: Hi guys, I don''t know the onomatopoeia for coughing so *cough cough*


    I''m not sure why this chapter took so long to trante, I think it''s been 2 hours? Double the time I usually take. Anyway, my brain''s tired right now. I know I usually post more but this is probably going to be thest one for the day. I''ll have this whole arc out by the end of this week, though (20 chapters in total  we''re now halfway into the first arc, yay!)


    On a side note, I like how the rtionship is developing in this chapter, so sweet, though I''m still confused about Jiang Zhe''s opinion of Li Cai Wei. He''s so hot and cold that its confusing.

 Chapter 11

    Chapter 11


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (11)</strong>


    The orange light illuminated the man''s body, giving him a halo. She suddenly realised that she couldn''t see his face clearly.


    Li Cai Wei subconsciously tightened her grip his shoulder, anxiously confirming the existence of this man.


    Jiang Zhe thought that she was in pain, and asked concernedly once again, "Where does it hurt? Don''t worry, just practice more"


    Suddenly, a pair of clear and fragrant scarlet lips pasted itself on his lips. Without him knowing when, a pair of slender arms hooked around his neck.


    Jiang Zhe was stunned for a moment. After regaining his wits, he immediately bowed his head, hands smoothly hugging the woman''s thin waist, and took the initiative to attack her mouth.


    Li Cai Wei slowly opened her eyes, her expression changing slightly. Jiang Zhes face was very close to hers, Li Cai Wei could even see her reflection in the man''s eyes.


    Jiang Zhes hand moved upwards, gently holding her head. He slowly retreated and locked eyes with her, his hot breaths hitting her face.


    His voice was hoarse, different from the previous coldness, tinged with  huskiness and emotion. His lips moved slightly against hers, asking, What are you thinking, hmm?"


    Li Cai Wei met his gaze without hiding, her eyes bright, even containing a bit of provocation, she said: "Thinking of you. I miss you."


    Jiang Zhes eyes darkened, and different from the previous gentle restrain, this time he fiercely bit on the seductive lips inches away.


    The heavy gasps, the sound of the high-heeled shoes hitting the ground, the dim lights, all hinted at what would happen next.


    Jiang Zhe was still rational. He gently stroked the woman''s hair, his breath unstable, "Bedroom?"


    Li Cai Wei looked at him for a while, before taking the initiative, tiptoeing to reach his lips.


    Really terrible!!!


    Jiang Zhe groaned lowly, and immediately swept her up into his arms, while instructing the outside: "Shui Gen, stand guard properly. If you let anyone in, Ill be going after you."


    Shui Gen and Cui Xi looked at each other and saw the joy in each others eyes. Shui Gen happily said: "Eldest Eldest Young Master, rest assured. Shui Gen swears to guard the study entrance with my life."


    Jiang Zhe didnt respond.


    Now, his whole heart was focused on the woman in his arms.


    She was obviously sexier and bolder than any other woman just now, but now in his arms, she became as timid and obedient as a kitten.


    When he looked down at her, she looked back up at him.


    In those eyes, there were uneasiness, nervousness and fear.


    If not for her face still being flushed red, Jiang Zhe almost thought that he was forcing himself on her.


    He sighed,   faded a lot, lowered his face and kissed her forehead, softly asking: "Afraid?"


    Li Cai Wei shook her head.


    Jiang Zhe couldnt help butugh: "Liar."


    Without giving her a chance to protest, he continued, "Fortunately, there is a small bed in the study room, otherwise you will be wronged."


    Li Cai Weis blush deepened. Feeling ashamed and angry, she buried her head in his neck.


    She didn''t know why she had been so crazy tonight. Thest lesson was still vivid in her mind, but she had still been muddle-headed again.


    But she just couldn''t help it, ever since her first glimpse of Jiang Zhe, she had already given her heart to him.Later, when she married into the Jiang family, she thought the heavens had pitied her and granted her wish, only to find out that her newly married husband was not as she remembered.


    The good man she initially thought he was turned out to be a stubborn, selfish and cold yboy. She tried to fall in love with him, but when she heard he had other women outside, she smiled emotionlessly.


    Cui Xi advised her to please Jiang Zhe, but how?


    She knew that he didn''t like her.She also wasnt interested in seeking suffering.


    Even if she persuaded him not to wander, without Qiu Yue, there could still be a Bao Yue or Ming Yue in the future.


    Stepping on herself like this, why would she bother?


    Its just that the life she thought was peaceful like still water was suddenly disturbed one day, as if a stone was thrown in, causing a wave of ripples that disturbed her mind.


    The first times "feeding porridge" could be said that he was befuddled, but what about this time?


    Maybe deep down in her bones, she was thirsty.


    Once she thought that, all the  sweetness turned bitter.The red flush on her face faded away, her body became stiff and she did not dare to move.


    Jiang Zhe felt that something was wrong with her, and initially thought she was nervous.


    He kissed her hair,forting: "Don''t be afraid."


    The woman in his arms did not respond.


    Jiang Zhe did not suspect anything. He bypassed the curtain and entered the interior, putting Li Cai Wei on the bed.


    As soon as Li Cai Wei touched the bed, she immediately turned over and shrank into a ball, ignoring him.


    Seeing her series of movements, Jiang Zhe didnt know whether tough or cry. Leaning slightly, one hand holding the side of her head, he softly asked, "What''s wrong? Werent you still alright just now?"


    Li Cai Wei did not say anything.


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe: "Are you feeling unwell?"


    Li Cai Wei still didn''t say anything.


    Jiang Zhe got closer, only then did he faintly hear a low crying sound.


    He had a bad feeling. Forcefully turning around Li Cai Weis body, taking away her hands covering her face, he realised, shocked, that her face was already full of tears.


    Jiang Zhes heart panged slightly. It was not painful, but sour and sorrowful.


    He hugged her helplessly, gently kissing her tearful eyes, muttering: "What''s wrong? Did I make you unhappy, or who wronged you?"


    Li Cai Wei didnt speak and just shook her head strongly.


    No matter how smart Jiang Zhe was, he still couldnt guess whats on her mind at this moment.


    He could only hug her with both hands, a warm palm patting her back, helping her to breathe properly.


    Over and over again, saying: "Im here."


    Li Cai Weiid in his arms, her tears flowing even more fiercely.


    After a long time.


    Jiang Zhe finally heard the woman in his arms sulkily said: "Only brothel women will take the initiative to kiss a man."


    Jiang Zhe:


    He really didnt know what to say.


    However, after thinking about it,pared to the noble daughters of this era, Li Cai Weis behaviour was considered bold.


    Thinking of this, he lifted the woman''s face and looked at her seriously: "Cai Wei, you are my Jiang Zhes upright and legal wife. We will embrace, will kiss, and there will even be children in the future. Are you afraid?"


    Li Cai Wei thought about it, and shook her head.


    Jiang Zhe chuckled: "So if my wife takes the initiative, I will think its interesting. Like this." Saying that, he tentatively kissed her forehead, nose, cheeks, and finally her lips and ears.


    The hot breath he exhaled hit her ear.


    Lost in love, she heard him say, "Don''t be afraid, leave it to me."


    TN: The next few chapters won''t be so closely edited. I realised that the next few chapters are twice as long as the previous chapters I tranted, so kind of rushing it to finish this arc by this week. (I regret cking on the chapters yesterday now.) Not to mention I have a CNY reunion dinner on Friday, so I might have to rush it out by tomorrow instead haha. Still, I won''t break my promise to trante it all by this week ?

 Chapter 12

    Chapter 12


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (12)</strong>


    The silver bottle broke, and the water flowed in. The cavalry suddenly pulled out a gun and shot.


    Spring is short and bitter.


    The next day, Li Cai Wei woke up in Jiang Zhes bedroom, a soft bed underneath her and a familiar scent of honey locust on the quilt.


    Honey locust scent?


    She squinted and opened her eyes. Before her was a magnified handsome face. Jiang Zhe supported his head with one hand, and brushed aside the hair on her face with the other. His voice was soft: "Youre awake. Do you feel ufortable anywhere?"


    Li Cai Wei looked at him,st nights the absurd memory gradually resurfacing. Blood rushed up, and her face flushed red. She quickly huddled under the quilt, not willing to meet his eyes.


    Jiang Zhe:


    He tried to pull open her quilt, but Li Cai Wei held on to it tightly. Jiang Zhe was also not willing to use real strength to fight with her, and could only kiss her through the quilt. "Its not early anymore, I have to go to the shop. Cui Xi brought some jade round-rice porridge from the kitchen, remember to eat after you get up."


    Li Cai Weisulkily muttered an en in the quilt.


    A hint of warmth shed through Jiang Zhes eyes, and he couldnt resist touching the bulge in the quilt before he got out of bed to change clothes.


    Li Cai Wei hid in the quilt. Only when she heard the sound of the door opening and closing and estimated that Jiang Zhe had left, did she slowly climbed out.


    Just nice, there was a knock on the door, and Cui Xi shouted from outside: "Young Mistress, its Cui Xi."


    Li Cai Wei: "Come in."


    Cui Xi pushed the door open with one hand, holding the tray of food in her other hand. Aftering in, she nimbly closed the door behind her.


    Cui Xi: "Young Mistress, before leaving, the Eldest Eldest Young Master told me to send you some food first, before helping you up."


    Li Cai Wei lowered her head and gave a small smile: "En."


    Cui Xi skipped over happily, "The Eldest Young Master really treats Young Mistress well, for him to specially order such details. It can be seen that the Eldest Young Master really has Young Mistress in his heart."


    Li Cai Wei smiled silently.


    Cui Xi knew that she was in a good mood, and continued speaking auspicious words while serving her.


    Suddenly, Cui Xi screamed in surprise.


    Li Cai Wei was shocked: "What, what is it?"


    Cui Xis face was red, and she couldn''t speak.She turned around and ran out, but quickly ran back in.


    Cui Xi walked to Li Cai Wei, and hesitantly took out a mirror.


    Li Cai Wei didnt know what was happening, and took the mirror for a closer look, wondering: "Nothing-"


    Her voice stopped.


    Li Cai Weis face visibly turned red. She hurriedly took away the mirror and shyly rubbed her neck.


    Jiang Zhe, he Hes so bad.


    Cui Xi hid the smile on her lips. After the initial shock, she was even more open-minded about this than Li Cai Wei this Young Mistress.


    Cui Xi: "The Eldest Young Master really dotes on Young Mistress."


    Li Cai Wei red at her with shame.


    Cui Xi gave in: "Alright, I wont say anymore. Young Mistress, quickly drink the porridge before it turns cold."


    Li Cai Wei finally pretended like nothing was wrong, and took small sips of porridge. After a while, she suddenly asked: "The Eldest Young Master left in a rush, did he eat breakfast?


    Cui Xi frowned and replied: "The Eldest Young Master has Shui Gen around, he shouldnt be hungry."


    Li Cai Wei thought sotoo.


    By the time Jiang Zhe arrived at the shop, it was almost ten o''clock.


    The treasurer thought that something had happened to the Jiang family, and asked about it.


    Jiang Zhe casually found an excuse to brush it away.


    The treasurer didnt care too much, and went back to his own business.


    Jiang Zhe sat by the table side and checked the proceeds in the past month.


    Time passed unconsciously, and he had already been here for half a year.


    In the past six months, he helped in the Jiang clothing shop. From the beginning, when everything was new to him, till now where he had be familiar with the shop, he gradually discovered that the Jiang clothing shop was already on the decline.


    Western goods had taken over the country. Compared with the traditional handicraft industry, the machine-made western goods were cheap and good. In contrast, the traditional industry suffered almost devastating blows.


    It was only because the Jiang clothing shop was big and established, with many years of credibility, did they manage to retain some customers.


    However, Jiang Zhe knew that this was only the beginning.


    At thetest, they can survive for a few months. Once the foreigners finished testing the market in this country and find out there are many business opportunities, they will crazily enter the market. When that happens, more shops will close down.


    In the original story, the Jiang clothing shop was thus slowly eaten away.


    Jiang Zhe was not a person to sit still and ept death.


    Since the meat had already rotted, the best method is not to cure, but topletely remove it, and then grow new meat.


    This process would undoubtedly be long and painful.


    His personal strength was too small. Before the rotten meat is removed, the only thing he can do is to preserve his strength, so that when the new meat grows, he can better protect it.


    Jiang Zhe stared at the table, thinking deeply into the issue, an idea already in mind.


    He closed the ount book and called for Shui Gen, asking, "Where is Father?"


    Shui Gen: "Answering Eldest Young Master, the Old Master is in the dye workshop."


    Jiang Zhe got up, "Then I will go find him."


    Shui Gen hurriedly stopped him, "Eldest Young Master, it is already noon. You didn''t eat anything in the morning, if you don''t eat again, even the strongest body cannot withstand it."


    Jiang Zhe paused, "Alright, serve the meal."


    Shui Gen: "Yes."


    Aboutfive minutester, Shui Gen came in with a food box.


    Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows.


    Shui Gen chuckled with a smirk: "The Young Mistress sent it."


    Jiang Zhe''s mouth quirked up slightly.


    It seems that this morningsforting worked.


    His biological clock was always on time. He woke up at seven, intending to get up and sneak out.However, the image of her crying face fromst night rose unbidden in his mind.


    His wife was so sensitive and prone to overthinking, how could he bear to see her fall into self-doubt after overthinking things again?


    So he stroked her face, and went back to pretending to sleep.


    Shui Gen: "Eldest Young Master? Eldest Young Master?"


    Jiang Zhe returned to his senses, and looked up at him.


    Shui Gen: "Eldest Young Master, quickly eat, otherwise the seabass will have a fishy smell when it turns cold."


    Jiang Zhe withdrew his gaze, and quietly invited Shui Gen to eat together.


    Shui Gen waved his hands: "This isnt appropriate."


    Jiang Zhe: "Sit down."


    The two looked at each other, and Shui Gen was ultimately utterly defeated.


    TN: I guess we kind of get an insight into the time period they are in right now  being the start of the westernisation in China. So traditions are still abound, but you can see western items around though the older generation remains dismissive of the western culture.

    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (13)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe found Father Jiang in the dye workshop looking at the newly dyed colours.


    Father Jiang nodded slightly: "This colour is uniform and looks natural, not bad."


    The shopkeeper was filled with joy, "If the Old Master said its good, then its definitely good."


    Father Jiang: "Who dyed this cloth?"


    The shopkeeper seemed to be waiting for this moment. He capped his hands, and shouted in one direction: "Li Niang,e out."


    A woman dressed in a red cheongsam with a bun in her hair walked over leisurely, her slender high heels regrly tapping the ground, making a pleasant sound.


    The woman bowed politely: "Li Niang has seen Old Master."


    The shopkeeper introduced enthusiastically: "Old Master, this is Li Niang. Not only is she beautiful, her character is gentle and considerate, and she is ingenious as well. The cloth in your hand is dyed using her idea.


    Father Jiang gave her a lookover, and praised: Its really good.


    What kind of cloth is it, for Father to praise it as such. A low-pitched male voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked around for the source, only to see a man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed sses walking towards them.


    The man was tall and jade-like, with wide eyebrows, sharp and handsome features, and a set of tightly-pressed lips, clearly showing the man wasnt good to provoke.


    But Li Niang looked at that untouchable face, and her heart began to beat uncontrobly.


    She clenched her hand. The pain from her nails digging into her palm made her recover a little bit of reason.


    The shopkeeperughed fawningly and greeted, "Greetings, Eldest Young Master. May I know if Eldest Young Master has any issues, for you to specially visit?"


    Jiang Zhe first returned the greeting, indifferently saying: "I came to find Father."


    Shopkeeper: "Oh, then this servant shall withdraw first."


    Li Niang wasnt willing to leave. She stared at Jiang Zhe in a daze, her face slightly red.


    This was the Eldest Young Master of the Jiang family?


    He was actually so handsome and pure-looking.If she could follow this Eldest Young Master, even if she had to throw away her reputation, she would be willing.


    So when the shopkeeper reached out to pull her away, she nimbly avoided it, and then deliberately said out loud: "Li Niang has seen Eldest Young Master."


    She dipped her head slightly, her gaze lowered. The red cheongsam was fitted to her white and fair skin, better showing her graceful slim figure.


    She knew, that her current image was the most bewitching and could easily arouse a mans interest.


    However, Jiang Zhe merely said "en", and remained silent.


    Li Niang bit her lips, and waited for a while, thick-skinned. Once she was sure that the Eldest Young Master really ignored her, her heart filled with shame, and her eyes were quickly filled with unshed tears.


    She lifted her head, and let a tear fall in front of Jiang Zhes face, looking extremely pitiful.


    Jiang Zhe frowned: "Why are you pointlessly crying?"


    Li Niang was secretly happy, and was about to share her grievances.


    Jiang Zhe: "Is it trachoma?"


    Jiang Zhe turned his head towards the shopkeeper and said: "Bring her to the hospital for a check-up. If it is trachoma, give her two months'' sry, and then recruit new workers."


    Shopkeeper:


    Li Niang:


    Father Jiang:


    Li Niang couldnt stand the humiliation and ran away with her hand covering her mouth. The shopkeeper quickly chased after her.


    Father Jiang pursed his mouth. Looking at his oblivious son, he suddenly didnt know what to say.


    Forget it, Cai Wei was a good woman. Zheer couldnt see things clearly; it was also good for him to guard only Cai Wei.


    Its just that its already been a year, why is there no movement in Cai Weis stomach?


    This thought only shed through Father Jiangs mind.


    He straightened his clothes and smiled, asking: "How did Zheer think to look for this father today?"


    Jiang Zhe: "There are some things I want to discuss with dad. Let''s go inside the house to talk further."


    Father Jiang: "Alright."


    Jiang Zhe slightly leaned over and held out his hand. "Dad, please."


    Father Jiang swept his sleeves and walked in.


    In the traditional and solemn room, the doors and windows were tightly shut, and the interior was dim. Jiang Zhe let the Shui Gen stand guard at the door, not letting anyone get close.


    Father Jiang was inexplicably confused by his sons actions.


    Father Jiang: "What''s wrong, what happened?"


    Jiang Zhe''s thin lips pressed together tightly, choosing his words.


    Father Jiang was not in a hurry either, and was even in the mood to drink tea.


    Jiang Zhe: "I want to sell the shops under the Jiang familys name."


    "Pu" Father Jiang spat out a mouth of tea. He looked at his son in disbelief, his eyes opened wide, What did you say?


    Jiang Zhe looked serious: "I said, I want to sell half of the assets under the Jiang familys name."


    Father Jiang couldnt hold his teacup steady, and the tea sshed on him.


    However, he couldnt care less, a pair of eyes staring at his son: "Jiang Zhe. Do. You. Know. What. You. Are. Saying?


    Father Jiangs every word and sentence was forced out through his gritted teeth. If it wasnt his son in front of him, he would have long chased the person out.


    Jiang Zhe looked up and locked eyes with him, not hiding or avoiding, "I know what I am talking about, Father."


    Jiang Zhe: "In fact, ever since I became familiar with the Jiangs family business, I have been thinking about this possibility."


    Father Jiang stood up harshly, and said involuntarily: Why? This is the business that your dad started from scratch and worked hard to establish. Now, with one sentence, you want to sell them. Have you considered your old man, my feelings?


    Jiang Zhe nodded seriously.


    Father Jiang:


    He felt that in front of his stubborn son, his dignity as an elder had suddenly disappeared.


    He dispiritedly sat down, "Give me a reason."


    Jiang Zhe: "Father thinks that the cloth from before was dyed well, right?"


    Father Jiang didn''t understand how the topic turned to this, but he still nodded.


    Jiang Zhe: "Then, does Father know how much it costs to dye that cloth?"


    Father Jiang frowned and thought about it. Based on his past experience, he extended a finger.After a while, he hesitated and added another one.


    Jiang Zhe smiled: "Lets take it as one silver coin, but this is only the base cost. If we want to make a profit, then we must sell it for at least two silvers coins."


    Father Jiang frowned silently.


    Jiang Zhe: "However, three times the amount of such simr cloth can be bought for two silver coins from foreigners. Even so, they can still make huge profits."


    Father Jiang instinctively refuted: "How can machine-made items bepared in the same context as traditional handicrafts?"


    Jiang Zhe: "But Father, if it was me, between cloths of identical quality, I will naturally buy the cheaper one. Im only using it, why bother whether it was hand-dyed or machine-made? After all, once its made into clothes, I can still wear it just the same, isnt it?


    TN: Oh my, is that a new future jealous woman for Li Cai Wei to handle? Or is it just showing how dedicated Jiang Zhe is to Cai Wei now? ?

    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (14)</strong>


    Father Jiang was speechless.


    He sat in a chair in the dark environment, his entire posture looking extremely defeated.


    Jiang Zhe didnt rush to persuade him, instead giving him enough time to digest the information.


    After a long while.


    Father Jiang finally hoarsely said: But if we dont continue the dye business, what will we do?


    In the dark, Jiang Zhes eyes shone like stars in the ck night. He replied confidently and decisively: Medicine. We will start a pharmaceutical business.


    Father Jiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He didnt expect his sons ambition to be so big. Could the pharmaceutical business be touched by just anyone?


    Father Jiang: "Zheer, Father has to remind you, today''s medicinal materials market is monopolized by a fewrge families."


    Jiang Zhe knocked on the handrail and chuckled: "Father, have you misunderstood my meaning?"


    Father Jiang: "???"


    Jiang Zhe: "This son wants to do Western medicine."


    Father Jiang''s brain nked out with a "Bam!", and he almost fell from the chair.


    His lips trembled as he shakily said: "West, Western medicine."


    Father Jiang: You want to be a smuggler?"


    Jiang Zhe maintained his carefree appearance, calmly saying: "Father misunderstood again."


    Father Jiang almost wet his pants because of him, brokenly bellowing: "Just say what you mean. Dad is old, and cannot take too much surprise."


    Jiang Zhe helplessly nced at him, but still helped him up before quietly saying: Which does Father think is better, Chinese medicine or Western medicine?


    Father Jiang: Of course, the medicine that our ancestors passed down is better. Facing Jiang Zhes cold eyes, he added reluctantly, Western medicine has a quick effect, but it also has too many side effects."


    Jiang Zhe looked down: "For a dying person, does Father think Western medicine would be effective, or would Chinese medicine be better?"


    Father Jiang:


    He didnt want to admit that his country couldntpare to the foreigners.


    Jiang Zhe knew his thoughts, and delivered the final blow: "If it was a soldier on the battlefield, sometimes a small pill could save a person''s life."


    Father Jiang lowered his head and clenched his fist, but ultimately did not answer.


    Jiang Zhe sighed: "Father should have felt it. Times are changing."


    Father Jiang looked up suddenly and looked at him with amazement, vaguely saying: "Zheer."


    Jiang Zhe: "Does father think that this son has be foolish from studying, unable to see clearly the situation outside?"


    Father Jiang opened his mouth, unable to spit out a word.


    In the end, Jiang Zhes heart softened and gently held his hand. "Don''t be afraid, the Jiang family still has me."


    A warm feeling spread from their linked hands to their hearts. Father Jiang''s throat tightened, almost unable to stop his tears from falling.


    Father Jiang: "Zheer, youve really grown up."


    Jiang Zhe let him vent hisplex emotions. After a long while, Father Jiang wiped his tears and smiled: "Come, tell dad your full thoughts." At the end, he added another sentence, "However, you can''t scare dad anymore. Dad is old, if you do that a few more times, sooner orter Ill meet Yama."


    A smile shed through Jiang Zhes eyes. "I wont."


    He straightened out his face, and whispered seriously: "I do want to introduce a batch of western medicine, but its not to take advantage of the crisis our country is facing. I want to conduct research on it, and create our own medicine."


    Jiang Zhe: "This road is definitely very difficult. Even now, people are only just starting toe into contact with western medicine, not knowing anything. This situation undoubtedly makes things worse, not to mention researching it. Therefore, in the early stage, we can only dip into our own pockets to create a researchb. If possible, before that, I would like to go overseas to see what is happening in the world today."


    Father Jiang: "No. Dad can promise you anything except for thatst sentence."


    Father Jiang softened his tone: "Zheer, don''t forget.You said it before, that our Jiang family will still have to rely on you."


    Jiang Zhe silently thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and gave the idea up.


    Father Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.


    Jiang Zhe said again: "The gun has already been fired. The country has been turbulent recently, and the more prominent the Jiang family is, the faster our fall. If we sell the branches of the Jiang clothing shop, we can give others an illusion that the Jiang family is going downhill. Simrly, this will also invite some opportunists, so how we handle the situation is key. Butpared to the tigers attracted previously, the wolves from this decision will seem much easier to handle."


    Jiang Zhe: "Of course, if Father still has extra money, it is alright to secretly use it for some back up ns. Its just that its necessary to make sure that no one knows about it, otherwise in a misstep, Im afraid it will cause public anger."


    Father Jiang stared at his eldest son speaking confidently, his reasoning clear.The smile on his face couldnt be held back.


    The heavens were really kind to him. Not only did it let him start his family business from scratch, but also gave him such a capable and filial son.


    After Jiang Zhe finished speaking, he saw his dads foolish grin.


    Jiang Zhe:


    Was it because he frightened him too much just now?


    Jiang Zhe fell into self-reflection.


    After the conversation on this day, it wasnt long before Father Jiang personally sold their store branches, while Jiang Zhe remained in Yun city to deal with the big and small issues in the shop.


    Such a big movement naturally couldnt be hidden, and the newspapers published new articles every day,menting the Jiang clothing shop.


    However, unlike the past, this time no one in the Jiang family came out to refute, and many people spected in their hearts whether the Jiang familys clothing business was really folding.


    Towards the rumours flying on the outside, Jiang Zhe couldnt be bothered about it.


    But the strife inside the Jiang family, he couldnt turn a blind eye to it.


    Concubine Shu once again blocked Jiang Zhes path, her face filled with anger. Jiang Zhe, you tell me, is the news reported by those journalists true?


    Jiang Zhe nodded.


    Concubine Shus face distorted. How is it possible? We were clearly still doing well six months ago. Tell me, did you ruin the family business? You wastrel, my son also has a share in the Jiangs clothing shop, but youpletely ruined it, you bastard." Saying as much, she rushed up to hit him.


    Jiang Zhe grabbed her hand. His eyes were cold, "Concubine Shu, no matter how this family is like, it is not your turn to be impudent. Shui Gen, send the guest off."


    Concubine Shu was pushed out. She struggled while yelling: "Jiang Zhe, you dont have a conscience, half of the Jiang familys assets also belong to your younger brother. Who gave you the rights to single-handedly ruin it, you bastard, waste, stupid boy


    TN: Poor Father Jiang.

 Chapter 15

    Chapter 15


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (15)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe returned to his courtyard and habitually headed to the study.


    He sat on the chair, took off his sses, and rubbed his eyebrows.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on door.


    Jiang Zhe wore his sses again: "Come in."


    Li Cai Wei walked in with a bowl of soup, "I heard the servants saying that youre back. I imagine youve been busy these days. I was afraid that you couldnt hold on, so I stewed some ginseng bamboo chicken stew early this morning to boost your energy and help you sleep at night.


    While talking, Li Cai Wei scooped him a small bowl, "Drink a little."


    Jiang Zhe eyes turned warm, holding the bowl with one hand, drinking it with big gulps.


    Li Cai Wei scooped him another bowl. Drinking the two bowls of soup, Jiang Zhe''s empty stomach was filled, and even the cold air around his body dispersed.


    Li Cai Wei: "Ill give you a forehead massage, you can take a short nap."


    Jiang Zhe didnt respond.


    His forehead was gently and slowly massaged by a pair of cool fingers, greatly relieving fatigue.


    After a while, Jiang Zhe began to feel drowsy.


    Li Cai Wei''s hands kept moving, until she determined shortly that the man had fallen asleep, before taking a nket from the inner room and draped it over him.Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the eyebags under his eyes, and thought that he probably did not have a good rest for several days.


    Li Cai Wei looked lonely. She stretched out her fingers in front of the mans face, her fingers tracing his features in the air, whispering: "Jiang Zhe, what exactly are you doing?"


    Jiang Zhe slept very well. When he woke up, it was already around four in the afternoon.


    He took off the nket on his body, folding and cing it back into the room and walked out of the study.


    Shui Gen was standing guard outside the door, saw him and quickly greeted him.


    Jiang Zhe looked at the scratches on his face, his brows were slightly wrinkled, "Concubine Shu scratched you?"


    Shui Gen stammered, not saying yes, but also not saying no.


    Jiang Zhe: "Is she still causing trouble?"


    Shui Gen nodded.


    Shui Gen: "Halfway, Concubine Shu brought Second Young Master and the Eldest Miss over a few times, but you were sleeping, so I blocked them."


    Jiang Zhe growled, killing intent filling his words: "Concubine Shu didnt even put me in her eyes, yet she listened to you."


    Shui Gen: "Cough"


    Shui Gen scratched his head, "Alright, I cant hide anything from Eldest Young Master indeed."


    Shui Gen: "Old Madams side Zhang Ma came."


    Jiang Zhe: Did Mother send any message along?"


    Shui Gen wondered: "No, she didnt. Zhang Ma only came to drive Concubine Shu away.


    Jiang Zhe looked towards Mother Jiangs courtyard, his eyes darkened. This was really too strange.


    After more than half a year of interaction, Jiang Zhe did not doubt the deep love Mother Jiang had for her son, but now that he was being bullied, Mother Jiang only let people chase the culprits away.


    This was really abnormal.


    There was also Father Jiangs attitude. Rather than saying Father Jiang dotes on Concubine Shu, it was more like raising a person out of boredom.He gave her the appropriate wealth and glory, but no love or affection.


    And Concubine Shus life was even more intriguing.


    She was only a concubine, yet she dared to mock him, the eldest son, in front of Father Jiangs face. Facing Mother Jiang, not to mention the many times she didnt pay respects to her, she would even bad-mouth her behind her back, everything done as long as Concubine Shu felt great.


    This Jiang family seemed to have something he was unaware of.


    Jiang Zhe rubbed the jade thumb ring on his hand, carefully recalling the various contradictions in his past interactions.


    Forget it, once Father Jianges back, he will definitely rify the situation.


    He didnt want to be doing things at the frontline while someone behind desperately drags on his leg.


    In the days that followed, Jiang Zhe deeply realized what it means to be "A tree without a bark will undoubtedly die; a man without shame is undefeatable under the heavens."


    Jiang Zhe also realised for the first time that when Concubine Shu red up, others couldnt get close to her.


    Father Jiang went out, Jiang Zhe had to deal with the shop matters, Mother Jiang was weak and unexpectedly undisciplined, Li Cai Wei didnt wield any power, there was really no one in this family that could control her.


    Therefore, Concubine Shus behaviour only intensified, making a fuss during every meal, asionally still attending some dim sum afternoon tea whatnots.


    Because Jiang Zhe had a weak personality, he was also pestered by her to no end.In order to protect the innocent Li Cai Wei from this disaster, Jiang Zhe would always send her to Li Ming to stay for a short while under the guise of visiting her younger brother.


    Concubine Shu saw all his actions, but she only thought that Jiang Zhe had given up, and was afraid of her, making her kick up a bigger fuss every day.


    Jiang Zhe listened coldly to the servantsints, and then had them withdraw.


    He asked Shui Gen: "What were the Second Young Master and Eldest Misss reactions?"


    Shui Gen: "Second Young Master and Eldest Miss also have no way to deal with Concubine Shu. They hide in the house every day, avoiding people."


    Jiang Zhe: "Is that so?"


    Shui Gen: "Yes."


    Jiang Zhe quirked his lips up, the meaning of his smile unknown, but the smile didnt reach the bottom of his eyes.


    Jiang Zhe: "If she wants to make trouble, then let her. Wait till Fatheres back to settle everything."


    Shui Gen: "Yes."


    One and a half monthster, Father Jiang finally came back, but his state wasnt very good. His beard was unkempt and his eyes were bloodshot.


    Jiang Zhe could also guess why. The business scene was like a battlefield, it really wasnt a joke. Father Jiang had to deal with so many shops all over the ce, with time being so tight, he probably didnt have any proper rest.


    Jiang Zhe understood him, originally wanting to let him rest for a night before talking about Concubine Shus matters.


    But while he could wait, someone couldnt.


    When Concubine Shu got the news, she ran over fiercely. "Old Master, this time you must give me an exnation."


    Father Jiang frowned. "If theres anything, lets talk tomorrow."


    Concubine Shu said: "No, Old Master must give me an exnation today."


    Mother Jiang and Jiang Zhe, who rushed over after hearing the news, couldn''t maintain their faces.


    Jiang Zhe helped Mother Jiang in, his entire face cold. Then, in front of everyone, he said to Shui Gen: "Go invite Eldest Missy and Second Young Master over. Also, invite the Young Mistress back. Concubine Shu is right, we should have an exnation today."


    Father Jiangs wanted to speak, but didnt. Concubine Shu was proud of herself.


    Half an hourter, everyone had gathered.


    Jiang Zhe opened his mouth: "Father, this son has something hes unclear about. I want to ask you today."


    Father Jiang: "Go ahead."


    Jiang Zhe: "This son wants to ask you if you have owed Concubine Shu anything, or maybe she has something on you, for her to be a tyrant so out of her ce in the Jiang family, not putting anyone in her eyes, extremely domineering."


    Concubine Shus face suddenly changed, and was about to start scolding again.Jiang Zhe looked coldly at her, "Im currently asking my dad right now, since when was it appropriate for a concubine to interrupt."


    Concubine Shu: "Jiang Zhe, no matter how you look at it, I am your elder. Is this the attitude you have towards your elders?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I don''t have such an elder who has no dignity."


    Concubine Shu: "You"


    Father Jiang mmed the table suddenly and angered: "Enough." Pointing at Concubine Shu, he shot out: "You, shut up."


    Concubine Shu was still unwilling, but remained silent in the end.


    Jiang Zhe: "Dad, please tell me."


    Mother Jiang''s hand holding onto the armrest trembled slightly. Father Jiang closed his eyes in silence. After a long while, he sighed. "It''s all a debt."


    Concubine Shus body shook, her face turning ugly.


    Father Jiang: "I don''t have any weaknesses in Concubine Shus hands, but I do owe her. Because


    Father Jiang: "Her parents died because of me."


    Mother Jiang sighed, and Concubine Shu also bowed her head.


    Li Cai Wei, on the other hand, had other thoughts.


    Jiang Zhes hand rubbing his jade thumb ring paused. He never imagined that this would be the reason.


    With this, it was exinable why Concubine Shu was so wild, but Father and Mother Jiang could tolerate it.


    Jiang Zhe said in a low voice: "Can dad tell the whole story?"


    Father Jiang: "Dad started this family from scratch. The so called of a million things, the starting is the hardest, with no one to support dad, dad could only run the business by himself. Single-handedly going up the mountain to gather the raw materials, single-handedly fumbling to dye cloth, and single-handedly went to sell the cloth. After I met your mother, she didnt despise that I was poor, and suffered with me. Fortunately, the heavens dont punish hardworking people. Dads business finally improved. Unfortunately, fortune doesnte in pairs, and misfortunes donte alone. While dad was delivering the goods to a customer, I met bandits. My life was on the line, but dad was saved. The people who saved me were Concubine Shus parents."


    Recalling the past, Father Jiang had momentarily lost himself in the moment: "Dad is grateful to them, and promised to repay them with silver money afterwards. However, that night, the bandits found us. In order to protect me, they lost their lives under the bandits knife. With the death of my benefactor, dad could only repay the kindness with Concubine Shu.


    Jiang Zhe''s eyes shed and asked: "And then?"


    Father Jiang: "Then, Concubine Shu was homeless, so dad took her in. Dad originally wanted to acknowledge her as my sworn sister, and take care of her. After she married, dad prepared a rich dowry for her to stand firm in her husbands house. If she had any grievances after marriage, dad was willing to stick up for her, taking over the responsibility of the Shu familys parents.


    Jiang Zhe coldly rebutted: But now, she has be your concubine.


    Father Jiangs face was a bitplex, and said at a loss: "Yes. Initially, I had already discussed with the grooms side and confirmed a day. However, in my happiness, I got drunk, and and did something wrong."


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe: "If I could be bold enough to ask, that wine was brought by Concubine Shu, and also Concubine Shu who encouraged dad to drink it? Let me think. The excuse was that she was going to marry out, and cannot often meet in the future, so she wanted to drink or something simr, as a farewell. Or maybe she brought up her deceased parents, dad must have felt too ashamed to refuse, right."


    Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Concubine Shus faces changed dramatically.


    Concubine Shu couldn''t supress her anger: "Jiang Zhe, what rubbish are you talking about?"


    Jiang Zhe pretended not to hear her, continuing, "But I have one thing I dont understand. At that time, dad and mom should be living together right? Why was Concubine Shu, a singledy, going to find dad in the middle of the night to drink, yet mom wasnt there?


    Mother Jiang twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, It seems like that night, I was very tired, and fell asleep early.


    Jiang Zhes lens shed, covering the light in his eyes, "Oh, such a coincidence. Concubine Shu missed dad, looked for dad to drink, and dad got drunk. Mom was just nice tired, and went to sleep early. The next day, dad woke up and found out that he had done something wrong."


    Jiang Zhes voice was dull, as if he was talking about a matter unrted to him, even like it was a boring story.However, Concubine Shu who was listening was thunderstruck, her whole body freezing cold.


    On the other hand, Mother Jiangs body tremble, her eyes turning fiercely red, shedding two lines of clear tears, but she could only choke. Li Cai Wei quicklyforted her, lest her mother-inw fell ill from crying.


    Father Jiang looked at Concubine Shu in disbelief, staring at her until the other was soaked in sweat, stuttering: "Old, Old Master, listen to me, thats not what happened?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Then, why dont you tell us what happened?""


    Concubine Shu: "I, I, I"


    Concubine Shu "I" for half a day, but couldnt say anything.


    Facing Father Jiangs disappointed eyes, she suddenly screamed, seemingly crazy, she pointed to Father Jiang, saying: "This is what you owe me. If it wasnt for you, my father and mother would not have died."


    Jiang Zhe adjusted his sses frame: "Towards the Shu familys esteemed parents, I feel very sorry, but you know, this is not my dads fault, he is also a victim."


    Concubine Shu: "What do you know? If it wasnt for Jiang Zheng Hua, if my parents didnt meet him, they wouldnt have saved him and attracted the revenge of the bandits. My parents wouldnt have died, this entire situation is his fault, he killed my parents."


    Jiang Zhe: "So you hate my dad, is that right?"


    Concubine Shu: "Yes, I hate him."


    Jiang Zhe: "If so, then why don''t you just kill him? After he brought you home, you had many opportunities, didnt you?


    Father Jiang/Mother Jiang: Zheer


    Li Cai Wei: Jiang Zhe


    Others looked at him strangely.


    Jiang Zhe: "If you hate him so much, why did you hatch a n to give yourself to him? To sleep with a man you hate, dont you feel disgusted?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Even so, you couldnt even be his wife, only a concubine. Dont you feel wronged?


    Jiang Zhe: "You have such a big hatred in your heart, why are you still willing to give birth to children for him, and feel aggrieved because your children cant enter his line of sight? Because he doesn''t love you, doesn''t care about you, to lose control of your emotions and fly into a rage?"


    Jiang Zhe asked three continuous questions, forcing Concubine Shu to retreat.


    At the end, he sighed: "Actually, you know in your heart that the death of your parents cannot be pinned on my dad. But he does have some responsibility, so he willpensate you as much as possible. If you sessfully married out back then, he would definitely treat you as his own sister. With his support, you could secure a happy life in your husbands house. More importantly, you will be a proper wife. But you gave it up, and chose another path, a path full of ups and downs.


    Jiang Zhe: Why? Because you fell in love with this man? Or did your discerning eye see through this mans enormous potential? Or maybe it was both. Can you tell me, Concubine Shu, I am really curious."


    Concubine Shu dazedly looked at pure,pelling youth opposite her, suddenly feeling a sense of strange familiarity.


    Once upon a time, she also saw this confident look on another man''s body, but that man''s eyes didnt see her.


    There was pindrop silence in the hall. The people present all bowed their heads and tried to reduce their presence.


    Jiang Chen, Jiang Yu, however, was wide-eyed, looking at their mother incredulously.


    Father Jiangs face drooped, his entire person wilting.


    Li Cai Wei was busyforting Mother Jiang, who was crying nonstop.


    Jiang Zhe was the calmest, sitting on a chair. He even had the mood to drink a cup of tea, wetting his throat.


    Under such calm eyes, Concubine Shu only felt that she was stripped of all her clothes walking on the street, utterly humiliating, but hatefully, she couldnt refute.


    Jiang Zhe put down the teacup and looked at her: "Concubine Shu, your parents died because of my dad, this is what my dad owes you. Even if you killed him, and there is nothing to me. But" Jiang Zhes face sank fiercely "Killing someone isnt a big deal. At the most, one could be a good man 18 yearster. But you! Because of your calctions, you deeply buried an unmovable thorn between my dad and my mom, one touch would cause even the hardest heart to hurt, causing my mother to suffer from depression and its symptoms. Under many years of suffering such pain, she is already physically and mentally exhausted. Over the years, you have been taking advantage of this chip, enjoying the fortunes and power in the Jiang family, causing my dad and mom unspeakable pain."


    Jiang Zhe: "Concubine Shu, how bad can a person be, to do such a disgusting deed."


    Jiang Zhe: "You ask yourself honestly, do you my dad for dragging your parents down, or do you use this as an excuse, to let my dad and mom give in step by step, and then satisfy your own personal desires."


    Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu had already turned speechless under the interrogation.


    Having hidden it for some many years, the day hade, for someone to heartlessly tear down her cover. It was not only painful, but also hard to bear.


    Jiang Zhe waited for a while, and suddenly said: "Let''s separate the households."


    The moment this statement came out, the whole hall was silent.


    Jiang Zhe: "Two people''s lives. Concubine Shu, you plotted against my dad in front of my mother, torturing my mothers heart for many years before and after, this can be considered as repaying you a life. Today''s separation, I will give in. The existing familys asset, I will only take half. The rest will be given to Jiang Chen, this can be considered as repaying you another life, what do you think?"


    Father Jiang, Mother Jiang was shocked: "Zheer"


    Jiang Zhe looked directly at Concubine Shu: "You are right, the amount I wasted should be borne by me. Today, I only have half. ording to the original amount of the familys assets, Jiang Chen should also be able to get half. Doing as such, are you satisfied?


    Concubine Shu: You


    Jiang Zhe: Shui Gen, bring a pen and paper.


    Shui Gen was flustered and looked towards Father Jiang for help. Father Jiang, however, smiled relieved, Listen to Zheer, go.


    TN: Longest chapter ever. Well, thats over now. THAT PLOT TWIST THOUGH and now maybe we feel a bit more for Concubine Shu? I still don''t like her though. To me, loving someone isn''t a good reason for wrecking the family of the man you love and causing him unhappiness.

 Chapter 16

    Chapter 16


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (16)</strong>


    Shui Gen brought over the pen and paper. Jiang Zhe received it, and started writing the contract without hesitation.


    Ten minutester, two identical sets of the contract was created. Jiang Zhe told Shui Gen: "Take this set to Concubine Shu."


    Shui Gen bent over to receive it: "Yes, Eldest Young Master."


    Shui Gen passed the treaty to Concubine Shu without goodwill, then rushed back to Jiang Zhe.


    Concubine Shu looked at the contents on the paper, absentminded. She didnt recognise many words, but those that she did were very sensitive.


    She did not believe that Jiang Zhe would be so kind, and grabbed her son to check.


    Concubine Shu: "Chener, take a look. Check if Jiang Zhe is cheating me."


    Jiang Chen face was red, shy.


    Jiang Chen: "Concubine Mother."


    Concubine Shus tone was sharp: "I asked you to check."


    Jiang Chen, Jiang Yu trembled simultaneously. Jiang Chen didnt dare to refute any longer, and honestly took a look at the treaty.


    After a long while, he stammered: "No, no problem."


    Jiang Zhe paused in the middle of taking his teacup, then naturally took a sip while hiding the sarcasm ying at the edge of his lips.


    Concubine Shu was happily surprised, instructing her personal maidservant: "Quickly, get me a pen. When I sign my name, this familys assets will belong to me and Chener."


    Jiang Zhe put down the teacup, faintly said: "Hold it."


    Concubine Shu was vignt, "Why, you regret it?"


    Jiang Zhe shook his head.


    Jiang Zhe: "I just feel that since our Jiang family no longer owe you anything, it is better to draw a clear line in the future."


    Concubine Shu: "What do you mean?"


    Jiang Zhe: "It''s very simple. You will report clearly to the newspapers your rtionship with my dad. As for Jiang Chen, Jiang Yu, if they still have my dad in their hearts, I wont stop them from visiting asionally. If they dont want to visit, I wont force them either. Either way, theres still me, this son, to be filial.


    Concubine Shu''s face twisted for a moment, "You want me to report to the newspapers my divorce with Jiang Zheng Hua."


    Jiang Zheshook his head again: "Concubine Shu thinks too much. You are just a concubine, how can it be appropriate to let my dad report to the newspaper his divorce with you. Not saying you were abandoned, is already giving you a lot of face.


    Concubine Shu: You


    Jiang Chen hurriedly stopped Concubine Shu and turned to Jiang Zhe, saying: Why must Big Brother be so harsh in his words, be so heartless? No matter what, we are one family."


    Jiang Zhe''s face didnt change; he didnt even bat an eysh.Li Cai Wei, however, looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.


    The main hall was speechless for a moment. Jiang Chens red face became even redder at this moment.


    After a long time.


    Jiang Zhe: "Sign it. Things should be resolved the earlier the better."


    Concubine Shu snorted, but ultimately didnt do any more useless actions.


    However, hatred erupted in her heart. Wait for it, wait for her to get the majority of the Jiang familys assets, and see how she deals with Jiang Zhe.


    Eldest Young Master, who was always so lofty, will sooner orter bow down and wag his tail to her.


    As long as she thinks of that day, Concubine Shus anger dissipated, her whole persons mood extremely good.


    Jiang Zhes movements were very fast. On the same day, the two sides signed the contract, sent people to find reporters, and then distributed the monthly sry of the servants. Those that were willing to follow Concubine Shu remained, and those who werent willing left. Jiang Zhe did not want fixed assets, and converted them all into silver coins before bringing his parents and wife away from the Jiang estate.


    Out of Jiang Zhes expectation, Shui Gen chose to follow him.


    Using Shui Gens words, he was eating well and his family had no worries, hope that Eldest Young Master can ept him.


    Jiang Zhe had his own calctions in his heart, and was not very worried about the money. So when Shui Gen wanted to follow him, he didnt chase him away.


    The matter of separation had not yet spread widely, and his status as the Jiang familys Eldest Young Master could still be used.


    Jiang Zhe paid enough money, moving into a new home that very same night.


    The new home consisted of just one courtyard,pletely iparable to the original Jiang estate.


    However, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang felt a long-lost sense offort. The two joined hands and looked at the courtyard that wasnt very wide. They only felt that they had returned to the past.


    Father Jiangs heart was full of emotions. He patted his sons shoulder and praised him: This father cannotpare to you.


    Jiang Zhe: Dad is being modest. I only hope that dad doesnt me me for losing half your lifetimes worth of hard work in just one day. "


    Father Jiang pretended to hit him, "You are a stinky boy, daring to ridicule your old man."


    Mother Jiang immediately stopped him: "Zheer is such a good boy, you still beat him."


    Father Jiang said: "Weare just ying around."


    Jiang Zhe:" Dad is right. "


    Jiang Zhe: "The sky isnt bright anymore. As respected elders, dad and mom can stay in the eastern room, while Cai Wei and I will stay in the western room. The remaining rooms, Shui Gen can choose where to stay.


    Shui Gen immediately expressed his loyalty. I have followed the Eldest Young Master from a young age. Of course, where the Eldest Young Master lives, I will also live there.


    Jiang Zhe smiled: Alright, let''s clean up first. I will go out and add some necessities tomorrow"


    Others: "Alright."


    Dinner was cooked by Li Cai Wei. Though it was just unrefined tea and nd rice, sitting together as a family, without any shady strange people hurting the eyes, they ate veryfortably.


    At the dinner table, Father Jiang asionally helped Mother Jiang refill her bowl, saying: "I remember that you used to like this."


    Mother Jiang smiled widely from ear to ear. The atmosphere between the two was sweet and harmonious.


    Li Cai Wei secretly peeked at it from time to time, obvious envy in her eyes.


    Jiang Zhe: "Eat."


    Li Cai Wei looked at the scrambled eggs in the bowl, bent his mouth, the corners of her mouth pulling up, lowered her head and stopped looking around wildly, eating seriously.


    After the meal, Shui Gen cleaned up.


    Jiang Zhe helped to start the fire, and Shui Gens eyes almost popped out.


    Shui Gen: "Eldest Young Master, you, you don''t have to do this."


    Jiang Zhe: "Its nothing. Its faster with two people working."


    Jiang Zhe: "Also, don''t call me Eldest Young Master in the future. I am older than you by a few years, you can just call me Big Brother."


    Shui Gen: "Eldest Young Master, this isnt"


    Jiang Zhe didnt even lift his head, adding more firewood into the firece, saying selfishly: "From the time you left the Jiang estate with me, I already had these thoughts. Or do you feel that theres no potential in following a big brother like me, and dont want to?"


    Shui Gen: "No, no, no. To be brothers with Eldest Young Master is Shui Gens blessing, I couldnt be happier, how could I not want to."


    Jiang Zhe: "En. Remember to change the way you speak in the future."


    Shui Gen: "Yes, Eldest Young Big Brother."


    Jiang Zhe''s brow slightly curved, in a good mood.


    After half an hour, everything was packed and Jiang Zhe returned to his house.


    Li Cai Wei had alreadyid out the bed and sat at the edge of the bed, waiting for him.


    Jiang Zhe only felt a warm current flowing in his heart. He slowly walked over and sat next to her, suddenly asking, "Do you resent me?"


    Li Cai Wei shook her head.


    Jiang Zhe: Life in the future may not be as good as before."


    Li Cai Wei: "I know."


    Jiang Zhe suddenly smiled.


    Li Cai Wei turned her head to look at him curiously, as if saying What is it?


    Jiang Zhe reached out and touched her face, whispering: "Silly."


    Li Cai Wei frowned.


    Jiang Zhe suddenly leaned over closely, and kissed her unguarded forehead like a dragonfly on water*, almost illusory.


    Li Cai Wei: "You"


    Jiang Zhe sighed: "I dont fight a battle I cant win. Im not a reckless teenager, how could I do something so rash."


    Jiang Zhe: "So, don''t worry. I have long already prepared the way ahead."


    Li Cai Wei stared at him in a daze.


    Jiang Zhe: "What''s wrong?"


    Li Cai Wei: "Nothing, I thought you wouldn''t want to tell me this."


    Jiang Zhe lightly stroked her face, gently and tenderly, "We are husband and wife, I don''t want to trouble you with these trivial things."


    Li Cai Wei''s eyes shed slightly, stared at him for a while, before suddenly throwing herself into his arms, her eyes closed.


    Jiang Zhe, I will believe you onest time.


    She hugged onto the man, like a drowning man holding thest piece of driftwood.


    Jiang Zhe patted her back rhythmically, giving her silentfort.


    In a short while.


    A muffled voice could be heard from within his arms, "Then, can you tell me, what do you n to do next?"


    Jiang Zhe did not answer immediately, reading a passage in english instead.


    Li Cai Wei looked up at him incredulously. "You, you know"


    Jiang Zhe flicked on her forehead and said slowly: "Previously, I went out of my way to learn a little. Just nice, Uncle Zheng wanted to show off a western scroll, but couldnt find an appropriate trantor. Through this coincidence, we met and got along very well."


    Li Cai Wei was amazed: "Uncle Zheng? Is that Third Master Zheng of Yun city, who has his hand in both the legal and underworld business?"


    Jiang Zhe: "That is him."


    Li Cai Weisucked in a breath of cold air, for the first time feeling that the man in front of her was too different from her imagination.


    Jiang Zhe: "So you don''t have to worry about Concubine Shu finding revenge or trouble. As long as Im here, I wont let anyone who bullies you go."


    Li Cai Wei took a moment, thenughed and nodded heavily, "En."


    Jiang Zhe hugged her tightly, his gaze soft.


    Of course, Third Master Zheng would not look at an ordinary trantor.But a like-minded youngster was different.


    *Refers to how dragonflies like to flit around lightly around on water, meaning he kissed her forehead very lightly

 Chapter 17

    Chapter 17


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (17)</strong>


    Newsboy: "Big news! Big news! Jiang family''s clothing shop fell apart overnight. Brothers fought, with the Eldest Young Master Jiang at a disadvantage and chased out, and the quiet Second Young Master Jiang became the biggest winner!"


    Newsboy: "Big news! Big news! A noble houses dispute, right and wrong, everyone dont miss it as you pass by.


    In a moments time, Yun citys entertainment newspapers worked overtime, and everyone knew about the change in ownership of the Jiang clothing shop.


    In a high-end caf somewhere.


    Sitting near the window was a man in his forties, wearing a tailored suit, paired with a pair of leather shoes, his hairbed into a fashionable slickback.


    His appearance was very ordinary, but a hidden light shed in his pair of eyes, like an alpha wolf waiting for the opportunity to strike, made people not dare to look at him.


    At this moment, his rough fingertips rubbed against the exquisite coffee cup, he took a small sip, frowning: "This foreigner''s ything is difficult to drink."


    "Since Third Master doesnt like it, then change it."


    Third Master Zheng: "Oh, I still thought that my good nephew would urge me to try it a second time.


    Jiang Zhe: "Third Master Zheng jokes. As the old saying goes, a gentleman doesnt force people against their wishes, and also doesnt steal other peoples lovers.


    Third Master Zheng smiled unexpectedly: "What a good gentlemen, to not force people against their wishes. Nephew can see clearer than those other mediocre people."


    Jiang Zhenodded lightly: "Third Master exaggerates."


    Third Master Zheng waved his hand: "Lets not bother with that kind of humility. Talking business, now the entire Yun city is talking about how you, the Eldest Young Master Jiang, got chased out like a dog by a concubine and her illegitimate children. Everyone is mocking your uselessness; do you have nothing to say?"


    Jiang Zhe blinkedhis eyes and calmly said: "What is there to say. Let them say what they want to say, the words of unrted people have nothing to do with me.


    Third Master Zheng: "Such words arent right either. As themon saying goes, a good word can keep one warm for three winters, bad words can hurt people like a winter June. Nephew, you are inexperienced and dont know the fearsome power of peoples words."


    Jiang Zhepaused for a moment, saying: "Nephew is stupid, asking Uncle to exin."


    "Uncle" this word pleased Third Master Zheng. Heughed, carefree: "Since Nephew called me uncle, I cant let you call it in vain. Rest assured, even if the sky is falling, Uncle will help you hold it up."


    Jiang Zhe eyes shed, Then, I thank Uncle.


    Third Master Zheng: "You''re wee."


    Third Master Zheng: "Just nice, mid next month, the mayors family will be hosting a ball, when the timees, you will follow me. I can introduce you to other people as well, what do you think?"


    Jiang Zhe: "It is my honour. Nephew will definitely be on time for this event."


    Third Master Zheng: "Nephew truly is refreshing."


    Jiang Zhe gave apolite smile.


    The two men continued to chat, until the sky was getting dark, only then did Jiang Zhe bid farewell.


    Before separating, Third Master Zheng suddenly said: "Nephews wife may be shocked today. Nephew should properlyfort her when you get back."


    Jiang Zhe lowered his eyes, bowing slightly: "Many thanks for Uncles advice."


    Third Master Zheng: "No problem. Who are we with, alright, quickly go home.


    Jiang Zhe: Nephew bids Uncle farewell.


    When Jiang Zhes shadow couldnt be seen, the deputy by Third Master Zhengs side said: Third Master, what do you think about this Eldest Young Master Jiang?


    Third Master Zheng: Not bad.


    The deputy said out loud: Third Masters evaluation of the Eldest Young Master Jiang is very high.


    Third Master Zheng: Jiang Zhe this person, his thoughts are transparent, neither humble nor proud, his body has proud bones, but not a proud air, its really rare.


    Moreover, after several interactions, the other party had a schrly and elegant air and could clearly distinguish between a gem and rotten goods.


    Jiang Zheng Hua raised a good son.


    Jiang Zhe returned home.Everything was the same as before he went out.


    The only change was probably the colour of the familys faces.


    Jiang Zhe found a chair to sit down, and Li Cai Wei served him tea at the right time. He took a sip and moistened his throat before saying: "Concubine Shus people probably came over."


    Father and Mother Jiangs faces were ugly.


    Jiang Zhe: "But the familys items are still in its ce, I guess they didnt have it easy either."


    Father Jiang''s face warmed slightly. "Someone stopped them. I don''t know if those people are enemies or friends?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Those standing on our side are naturally our friends. Rest assured, Concubine Shu wont dare to find trouble with us anymore."


    Father Jiang: "Zheer, did you do something?"


    Jiang Zhe: "En, I met a friend, he helped solve it."


    Jiang Zhe said again: "I am a little tired, lets eat."


    Father Jiang swallowed the words that was about toe out.


    Back in his room at night, Li Cai Weiid in Jiang Zhes embrace, asking him: "Why didnt you tell Dad that you know Third Master Zheng."


    Jiang Zhe paused from ying with her hair, then pretended that nothing was wrong, saying: "Busy."


    Li Cai Wei: "Liar."


    Jiang Zhe: "I didnt lie."


    Li Cai Wei snorted, not saying anything.


    Jiang Zhe: "Then you find a time to tell them."


    Li Cai Wei: "Really?"


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    Li Cai Wei: "But if dad asks how did you meet Third Master Zheng, what do I say?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Just say that Third Master Zheng was interested in the englishnguage. Just nice, I learned it, we met identally and knew each other from that."


    Li Cai Wei nodded. "Then, alright."


    Thetwo were silent for a moment, but there was no awkwardness, only calm warmth.


    After waiting for a while, and Li Cai Wei almost fell asleep, she heard Jiang Zhe say: "Cai Wei?"


    Li Cai Wei: "Hm?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Do you want to learn english?"


    Li Cai Wei: "En."


    In the dark night, Jiang Zhes eyes shone.He opened his mouth a few times, and finally enunciated clearly, whispering a sentence "<strong><em>l love you</em></strong>".


    Li Cai Wei: "<strong><em>I love you.</em></strong>"


    The womans voice was gentle and warm, like a gently flowing stream of water, harbouring a soothing power.For a moment, Jiang Zhe only felt that his heart had missed a beat.


    Li Cai Wei chanted for a while and asked: "What does this mean?"


    Jiang Zhe face didnt change, seriously spouting nonsense: "Good night."


    Li Cai Wei: "Ah?"


    Jiang Zhe: "The meaning of the english words just now."


    Li Cai Wei seemingly understood and nodded: "Oh, oh."


    Li Cai Wei: "It''ste, go to sleep. <strong><em>l love you.</em></strong>"


    Jiang Zhe didnt know whether tough or cry, but his heart was filled with a strange emotion.


    He hugged the woman and kissed her cheek, whispering: "Me too, Cai Wei."


    Agood night''s dream.


    The next day, when the sky was very bright, Li Cai Wei held onto Jiang Zhes chest and sat up sleepily.


    Jiang Zhe smoothly held her hand and put it to his lips, kissing her, "Good morning." His voice was hoarse and flirtatious.


    Li Cai Weis face turned red helplessly, but she couldnt protest.


    She, she wont admit it, that she secretly liked it in her heart.


    Jiang Zhe held his wife''s hand and softly said: "Theres nothing going on today, I will be revising at home."


    Li Cai Wei wasnt clear on his meaning.


    Jiang Zhe turned over, dressed up and said: "Who was the one who wanted to learn Englishst night." Leaving these words behind, he opened the door and went straight out.


    Li Cai Wei recalledst night, her face gradually reddened.


    TN: So cute, haha! Hubby taught her to say I love you but didnt want to admit it! Probably because if she knew the real meaning, she wouldn''t say it out of shyness and embarrassment.


    Last 3 chapters of the arc will be out tomorrow.

 Chapter 18

    Chapter 18


    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (18)</strong>


    In the following days, Jiang Zhe stayed at home, apanying his parents and his wife.


    During this period, Li Ming came several times.


    Every time, Jiang Zhe pulled him into the study, no one knew what the two men talked inside. At night, Li Ming would always leave with a heavy face.


    Li Cai Wei curiously asked once, but Jiang Zhe only said, Younger Brother Ming was all grown up, had his own ideas, and could think of the future.


    Li Cai Wei was dubious, but if asked to say what was wrong, she couldnt tell.


    On this Jiang familys side, with Third Master Zheng secretly looking after, no one with eyes would step up to find trouble.The rich and powerful who were ridiculing Jiang Zhes uselessness previously also all shut their mouths.


    As for the Jiang estate, Concubine Shu had been angered by them that her mouth developed a bunch of ulcers, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep, and in the end, she decided to wash her hands off the Jiang family.


    Jiang Zhe taught his wife english every day, asionally going out to buy some things to please Mother Jiang, leading a happy andfortable life.


    Father Jiang couldn''t help but fall into self-doubt sometimes. Was the son he discussed current issues with back then only something he imagined?


    Father Jiang''s worries, Jiang Zhe didnt understand.


    He asked Shui Gen to buy him three movie tickets, and Shui Gen was puzzled: "Other than Young Mistress, who else does Eldest Young Master want to go to the movies with?"


    Jiang Zhe squinted at him. Shui Gen gave a forcedugh and changed the way he addressed him.


    Jiang Zhe gave him a ticket, then turned to find Li Cai Wei.


    Shui Gen was shocked and ttered. "Eldest Young, Big Brother, you dont need to waste this money on me."


    Jiang Zhe: "Its nothing, we don''t sit together. You wont be disturbing us."


    Shui Gen:


    He didn''t mean that.


    When Li Cai Wei received the movie ticket, she was happily surprised.


    Li Cai Wei: "Weve been living well as is, why did you suddenly think of watching a movie?"


    Jiang Zhe: "When I went out that day, I saw it and thus let Shui Gen buy it."


    Jiang Zhe: "Go change to a cheongsam, with high heels. If werete, we wont be able to enter."


    Li Cai Wei was immediately taken aback by his strange logic and didnt continue asking, turning around to go change her clothes.


    Before going out, Mother Jiang saw them and asked: "Where are you going?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Going out for a stroll. Mother, don''t wait up for us tonight."


    Mother Jiang nodded.


    Out of the door, Jiang Zhe called a rickshaw and paid the money, dismissing Shui Gen.


    He brought Li Cai Wei on a slow walk down the lively and busy streets. Li Cai Wei saw some scattered shops opened by foreigners, and was very interested.


    Jiang Zhe: "Want to see?"


    Li Cai Wei: "But the cinema is over there"


    Jiang Zhe: "Itll be fine,let''s go."


    Unlike the tradition of this dynasty,pared to its simplicity, the foreigners focus more on the morous.Above the head the crystal lights sparkled, below the feet the wooden boards were scrubbed clean, giving one a pleasant feeling.


    Jiang Zhe apanied Li Cai Wei to shop the whole time, and asionally she would turn around to ask his opinion.


    Jiang Zhe looked at her expression and carefully chose his words.


    Jiang Zhe had always felt that women were sometimes very easy to understand. When they were happy, their eyes would shine; when they were unhappy, they could be clearlyughing, but the smile will not reach their eyes.


    Just like this moment, Li Cai Wei clearly liked the headdress in her hand, her fingertips stroking it lovingly, yet there wasnt much expression on her face.


    Jiang Zhe had no choice but to use fluent English to buy it from the boss.


    Li Cai Wei: "Jiang Zhe."


    Jiang Zhe: "Its rare to see you liking something; this times outing was a good decision."


    Li Cai Wei dipped her head, gently making an "En".


    Jiang Zhe paid the money, but didnt make them pack it. With a nimble turn of his hand, he ced the headdress on top of Li Cai Weis head, smiling, "It fits you."


    Li Cai Wei embarrassedly touched it, and gave a small smile.


    Jiang Zhe smoothly held her hand and whispered: "Lets go."


    Li Cai Wei: "Ok."


    She followed half a step behind Jiang Zhe, her gaze uncontrobly staring at their interlocked hands.


    A sentence rose unbidden in her mind, "Holding hands together, growing old together."


    That was probably the sweetest vow in the world,she thought.


    The two walked around the bustling crowd and quickly caught the attention of others.


    Li Cai Wei could feel many people watching them. To be precise, they were looking at their interlocked hands.


    Jiang Zhe felt the stickiness in the palm of his hand and stopped. Li Cai Wei couldnt stop in time, and directly ran into his shoulder. Holding her nose, her tears flowed uncontrobly.


    Jiang Zhe didnt know whether to cry orugh.He took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes,forting: "Its alright now, I can''t see it anymore."


    Li Cai Wei looked away, embarrassed.


    Jiang Zhe walked next to her, "Are you afraid?"


    Li Cai Wei shook her head.


    Jiang Zhe: "Very nervous?"


    Li Cai Wei shook her head, then quickly nodded.


    Jiang Zhe: "Is it because Im holding your hand?"


    Li Cai Wei: "En."


    Jiang Zhe: "Not willing?"


    Li Cai Wei quickly shook her head.


    Jiang Zheughed helplessly: "You, ah."


    He didn''t corner her. He raised his hand and hired a rickshaw, heading to the cinema.


    Before entering, Jiang Zhe bought some fried melon seeds and water with a serious face.


    He rigidly handed it to Li Cai Wei, a little ufortable, "Eating while watching movies. Thats what others do."


    Li Cai Wei looked aroundand sawit was true.However, when she thought of the man in front of her being so formal just to buy her a small snack, she couldnt help but want tough.


    Li Cai Wei smiled: "Alright, the movie is about to begin, let''s go in."


    There were already many people sitting in the cinema. It was dark inside, so Jiang Zhe carefully protected Li Cai Wei to prevent her from falling.


    The movies of this period were all in ck and white, and especially blur. Jiang Zhe looked at it for a while and lost interest.On the contrary, Li Cai Wei watched with relish.


    At this time, this dynasty had notpletely fallen out with the foreigners, so other than Chinese people, there were also a few foreigners in the movie.


    When the movie was about to end, the foreigners looked at his beloveddy and reluctantly boarded the ship returning home. The girl waved her hand desperately, and the foreigner couldnt resist his emotions, shouting: "Luo, <strong><em>l love you</em></strong>, <strong><em>l love you</em></strong>, Luo, don''t forget me."


    The drowsy Jiang Zhe was instantly shocked awake.


    Li Cai Wei turned to look at him.


    Jiang Zhe looked back innocently. The light was too dim, and Li Cai Wei couldnt urately distinguish the man''s expression.


    She whispered: "You lied to me."


    Jiang Zhe coughed.


    Jiang Zhe: "I was wrong."


    Li Cai Wei raised her eyebrows: "Admitting to your wrongs so quickly?"


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    Li Cai Wei gave him a tight smile.Turning her head, she stopped looking at him.


    Jiang Zhe''s face didnt change, but in fact, his heart was slightly chaotic.


    After a while, he felt an itch in the palm of his hand and he gently gripped it. It was the cool fingertip of a woman.Jiang Zhe slightly hooked up his lips.


    The movie ended and the crowd dispersed. Jiang Zhe helped her up and walked behind her.


    Li Cai Wei waited for everyone to leave, before whispering: "I forgive you."


    After that, she hopped away.Jiang Zhe followed her and shook his head,ughing silently.


    -


    TN: He got found out! Their interactions are so cute.

    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (19)</strong>


    Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the next month. Jiang Zhe brought a light blue cheongsam home.


    Li Cai Wei didnt understand: "Why did you buy a cheongsam?"


    Jiang Zhe did not answer, replying: "Try it."


    Li Cai Wei couldnt go against him, and brought the cheongsam to the inner room.


    Five minutester, Jiang Zhe heard her voice and looked back.


    The embroidered gown was elegant and fitting, extremely beautiful with a blue base and white flowers.


    Li Cai Wei seemed to be born to wear cheongsams.


    Jiang Zhes eyes were amazed and immediately said: Very beautiful.


    Li Cai Wei smiled and said: I also think it looks good.


    Jiang Zhe: If you like it, then this shall be the one.


    Listening to him, Li Cai Wei wondered: You bought other styles?"


    Jiang Zhe paused, before saying: "No."


    Li Cai Wei gave a sigh of relief.


    Jiang Zhe: "Wear this today, apany me out tonight."


    Li Cai Wei: "Alright."


    The building was beautifully decorated, mourous and magnificent.


    Outside the mayors house, many ck cars were parked.Jiang Zhe arrived with minutes to spare, when Third Master Zheng had just stepped out of his car.


    Jiang Zhe held onto Li Cai Wei, and walked over to greet him, "Uncle Zheng."


    Third Master Zheng nodded, his eyes swept over Li Cai Wei, his eyebrows gentle, like a kindly elder. "This must be Niece-In-Law."


    Li Cai Wei smiled and greeted: "Uncle Zheng."


    Third Master Zheng smiled and nodded, "Let''s go."


    Jiang Zheled Li Cai Weibehind him, unimpeded.


    Concubine Shu, who was hiding in one corner, gritted her silver teeth till it broke.She had prepared so much previously, buying out several guards and servants of the mayor at high prices, just to publicly embarrass Jiang Zhe.


    However, now that he was following Third Master Zheng, who would dare disregard their lives to step up and make trouble?


    Other informed people saw that there wouldnt be a good show, twisted their mouths in disdain and left disappointed.


    Only Concubine Shu and Jiang Chen stood in the same ce, flustered, not knowing whether to stay or to go.


    Concubine Shu harshly hit her son and whispered a curse: "You say, what use do you have? I managed to fight for half of the Jiang familys assets for you with great difficulty, and drove that bastard out. But what were the results? In the blink of an eye, that bastard hugged onto such a thick thigh. How did I never find out previously that Jiang Zhe was such a lowly person, fawning over the rich and powerful, I still thought he was so lofty.


    Jiang Chens eyes shed, "Mother is right. Jiang Zhe, that person, had always been pretentious."


    Who knew that Concubine Shu would turn around and spit out a sentence at him, "That''s still better than you, this silent person. Look at how much good things you had in your hand, yet you still cant do anything to him. You say, what are you even capable of?


    Jiang Chen pursed his mouth,pletely silent.


    Concubine Shu vented, and left angrily.


    No matter how wildly arrogant she was, she knew that the mayors territory was not something she could intrude upon.


    As for Jiang Chen, when could he squeeze into that circle, she was afraid that she wouldugh herself awake even in her dreams.


    Jiang Zhe followed Third Master Zheng along the way, admiring the decorations in the house, simple but elegant.There were brightly painted carvings on the pirs, railings and wooden doors.The patterns included fishes, dragons, phoenixes, flowers and birds, very lifelike.


    However, after turning a corner and passing through the doorway, they entered the lobby and his vision suddenly became bright.


    Unlike the traditional buildings he saw along the way, the lobby had more of a modern atmosphere.


    The songs slowly yed from the phonograph, and men and women embraced and danced in the lobby.


    There were even a lot of young women who had curled their hair, wearing short western dresses.Under such circumstances, Li Cai Wei was even more eye-catching, in her in coloured cheongsam and her hair up in a bun.


    Even more so, her temperament was like an orchid, neither happy nor sad, just standing there like a beautiful peaceful scenery.


    The many peoples attention frightened this woman, who was usually a recluse.


    Jiang Zhe bade Third Master Zheng a farewell and took her to rest.


    Jiang Zhe brought her a tter of western-style snacks. "Eat some desserts, youll feel better."


    Li Cai Wei used a fork and unskillfully stabbed a piece.


    The white cream touched the corner of her mouth. Jiang Zhe took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.


    Li Cai Weis face was slightly red, timidly saying: "Don''t, they are watching."


    Jiang Zhe scanned the crowd, and no one returned his gaze.Li Cai Wei undoubtedly rxed a lot.


    After more than ten minutes, Li Cai Wei felt better.Jiang Zhe helped her up. "Let''s go to Third Master Zheng?"


    Li Cai Weinodded.


    Just that, Jiang Zhe did not expect that he would meet an "old acquaintance."


    The woman also wore a cheongsam, but it was a gorgeous red, her hair was slightly curled, her face was covered with heavy makeup, and her lips were painted with a bright red color.She could attract people''s attention in no time.


    Woman: "Eldest Young Master Jiang, I haven''t seen you for a long time, you also havente to visit this woman, making this woman very sad."


    Jiang Zhes face held a small polite smile with a sense of alienation: "Miss Qiu Yue, hello."


    Qiu Yue eyes contained grievances: " Eldest Young Master Jiang is really heartless. Before that, you clearly called this woman Yue Yue."


    Jiang Zhe: "Miss Qiu Yue must have remembered wrongly. We only met a total of five times, and said three sentences."


    Jiang Zhe: "Miss Qiu Yue, hello." Miss Qiu Yue, are you free?"Miss Qiu Yue, goodbye.""


    Jiang Zhe: "Its these three sentences.Therefore, asking Miss Qiu Yue to be more prudent with her words."


    Qiu Yue:


    Third Master Zheng:


    This man couldnt be a fool, right?


    Ever since hearing "Qiu Yue" these two words, Li Cai Weis mood suddenly dropped, disappointment, sadness, andter, shock, wanting tough.


    She didnt dare to look up, she was afraid that others would see the unrestrainedughter on her face.


    The thorn originally buried in her heart was also finally removed.


    She had thought that Jiang Zhe had something going on with Qiu Yue previously, looks like she was really thinking too much.


    It was the first time for the Qiu Yue, who was used to ying with men, to be defeated. After a long while, she came back to her senses and forced a smile. Eldest Young Master Jiang can really crack a joke, hehe.


    Jiang Zhes face was very serious, and he even frowned.Seemingly showing his disapproval, but only because of etiquette, he didnt rebut.


    Qiu Yue: Your mom, I cant continue the conversation like this.


    Wasnt this man previously very obsessed with her, or did she misunderstand?


    Qiu Yue plucked up her courage and looked at Jiang Zhe. Other than impatience in that pair of eyes, there really werent any other emotions.


    Qiu Yue: Suddenly defeated.


    She bade farewell to Third Master Zheng, then busily left.


    Today''s face had been utterly lost.


    After Qiu Yue left, Third Master Zheng teased Jiang Zhe: "Look, you made Qiu Yue so flustered."


    Jiang Zhe frowned, seriously rebutting: "Uncle Zheng, I did not."


    Jiang Zhe: "It doesn''t matter if she remembered wrongly. But I don''t like people who create something out of nothing and use me."


    Third Master Zheng:


    Really, being handsome didnt matter, not knowing how to please a girl, no wonder he only had a singledy by his side.


    However, everything had its pros and cons. When Jiang Zhe works for him in the future, at least he wouldnt be easily trapped by a woman.


    Third Master Zheng put away his thoughts and officially introduced Jiang Zhe to others.


    Halfway through, he also followed Third Master Zheng and had a toast with the mayor.


    Others were extremely envious.


    This person was really fortunate.Dont think that the Eldest Young Master Jiang lost his family assets and was chased out of the house. The other partys luck was good, and in the blink of an eye partnered with Third Master Zheng, his glory surpassing the past.


    Such a recovery after being down in the dumps, even drama scripts wouldnt dare to write.


    The dance continued until till dawn. Jiang Zhe did not reject Third Master Zhengs good intentions, and epted his ride home.


    Li Cai Wei shyly looked down the whole way, quietly sitting by his side without a word.


    When they returned home, Li Cai Wei helped him back into the room,id on the bed, finally without any outside interference.She suddenly said: "JiangZhe,what exactly are you doing?"


    The man pretending to sleep on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes clear, without any trace of drunkenness.

    <strong>The Eldest Young Master''s Gentle Wife (20)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe quietly looked at Li Cai Wei, "Want to know?"


    Li Cai Wei: "If its about you, I want to know everything."


    Jiang Zhe sighed and pulled her to his side, the lights was dim as he leaned closer to the woman''s ear.


    Li Cai Wei subconsciously shrunk her neck, evoking the sound of a mans light chuckle.


    Jiang Zhe lovingly rubbed her earlobe, but his tone had a rare seriousness.


    Li Wei Cais pupils shrank, stunned for a long time, before suddenly turning her head, sighing: Jiang Zhe, your guts are too big.


    Jiang Zhe returned her gaze, Is it?


    Li Cai Wei looked serious, solemnly nodding. "You are the only one I have seen so far, who has the biggest guts."


    Jiang Zhe: "Afraid?"


    Li Cai Wei nodded.


    Disappointment shed through Jiang Zhes eyes, but he soon recovered to normal, I still have some money to arrange a good future for youyou


    His lips were blocked, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck. The alcohol rushed to his head, ill-timed, almost making Jiang Zhe unclear whether he was hallucinating, or whether it was reality.


    He touched the woman''s face, but only felt wetness beneath his hand, "Cai Wei?"


    Li Cai Wei: "So thats what you think of me, that Im afraid of death and not willing to stay by your side?


    Jiang Zhe: "Cai Wei, I"


    Li Cai Wei: "Jiang Zhe, I am a woman. I have been sheltered for the past 20 years. How could I not be afraid?"


    Jiang Zhe hugged her. "I''m sorry, Im sorry. I thought wrongly, its my bad."


    Li Cai Weis eyes were blurred by her tears, making Jiang Zhe feel even more regretful. He held the sides of her face, and lowered his forehead to hers, whispering softly: "I was wrong, I shouldnt have thought that way. Can you forgive me?"


    Li Cai Wei did not respond.


    Jiang Zhe said helplessly: "In the future we will be in the same boat, standing together to face any difficulty. I will not let you go again."


    Li Cai Wei: "Really?"


    Jiang Zhe smiled and nodded: "I swear."


    Li Cai Wei pursed her lips andughed.Just that, her tears were still there, flowing along her smiling expression, it added a fewugh lines, making it seem true.


    Jiang Zhe held her, kissed her forehead, cheeks, and then slowly moved to her lips, unexpectedly soft.


    He tentatively tried to open the gap, and easily attack her mouth.


    The bed creaked gently, unable to hide the spring glow in the room.


    The next day, Jiang Zhe got up early. Shui Gen was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast, and was surprised to see Jiang Zhe.


    Shui Gen: "Eldest, Big Brother, what are you doing here? If youre hungry, breakfast will be done in a short while."


    Jiang Zhe said simply: "I will do it."


    Shui Gen almost bit his tongue, "Wha, what?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I said that Im going to make breakfast, you start the fire."


    Shui Gen had doubts in his heart.


    Jiang Zhe: "Then you go out, I can do it alone."


    "No." Shui Gen immediately refused. "Then I will start the fire."


    Jiang Zhe didnt do much, steamed egg, rice porridge, egg wraps, cold cucumber slices, and finally a sandwich.


    Shui Gen looked on, dazed.


    Shui Gen: "Eldest, Big Brother, how do you know how to make all these?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I read about it and casually tried. Looks like it turned out alright.


    Shui Gen was convinced, Big Brother was Big Brother.The things that he casually tried his hand at, he also performed better than him.


    During breakfast, Father and Mother Jiang was very surprised, Shui Gens handicraft today has improved.


    Shui Gen waved. It wasnt me, it was Big Brother. I just started the fire.


    Father and Mother Jiang were shocked. "Zheer, when did you learn to cook?"


    Jiang Zhe shook his head. "I dont know how to cook. Its just that these breakfast items are very easy, I could do it after reading once. Today, I had the heart to try, but if you like it, I can make more tomorrow morning."


    Mother Jiang liked it very much, but she couldn''t bear for her son to be tired out, and was momentarily conflicted.


    Jiang Zhe: "I always get up early anyway, so its an easy task."


    Mother Jiang: "Then, alright."


    Li Cai Wei tilted her head to look at him, her eyebrows arched, eating a spoonful of steamed eggs, a sweet feeling seeping into her heart.


    The atmosphere of the Jiang family was as harmonious as ever.


    The days passed, and the outside world changed rapidly, but Yun City still remained ignorant to these changes.


    Li Ming didnt tell his sister that he had not been to school for a long time. Since that time he had talked with his brother-inw, his ambitions had changed.


    He wanted to help this country in a more practical way.


    He followed Jiang Zhe, met many people and made manypanions. Together, they studied topics that they had never touched before.


    Jiang Zhe opened a new door for them. The first time he saw theb talked about by the foreigners, and the experimental equipment, he didnt know where Jiang Zhe got it, but he knew that these things were definitely very precious.


    When he first used it, his hands were so stiff that he couldn''t move. It was Jiang Zhe who taught him first-hand how to operate it, allowing him to greatly rx.


    Jiang Zhes english was very fluent, and he could easily talk to foreigners.Jiang Zhe knew a lot, from astronomy to geography.Whether it was the local history or foreign history, he was very familiar with them.


    There were also the mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and the like that he, Li Ming, couldn''t understand. He had never even heard of it before, but Jiang Zhe not only understood, but could even teach them, his words humorous and vivid. Along with theb, they learned even more quickly.


    It was also at that time that he clearly understood.Perhaps in this life, he could never reach the height of his brother-inw.


    However, being able to learn behind such a man with superb intelligence was his lifes greatest fortune.


    Jiang Zhe still wanted to do many things, but there was not much time left.


    Three years passed by, and Yun citypletely fell into purgatory.


    Under the system''s reminder, Jiang Zhe took his rtives, students and all his familys assets and left early, seeking refuge in a country that would be established in the future. At this time, it was just a small force that had no achievements.


    To this eras small force, the arrival of Jiang Zhe and others was tantamount to sending charcoal during winter.In particr, the group of students led by Jiang Zhe, the knowledge they have learned were all intangible treasures.


    With the addition of Jiang Zhe and others, their casualties plummeted, not to mention that Jiang Zhe asionally gave them some so-called "enlightenment" in their weaponry.


    Without so much painful bloodshed sacrifices, this initial small force, broke through the ground and grew all the way, establishing a new country ahead of the original plot, ending this troubled era.


    Coincidentally, that year, Li Cai Wei was finally pregnant.


    Jiang Zhe seemingly had some kind of intuition. After discussing with his wife, no matter if it was a girl or boy, they would name him Jian Guo, Jiang Jian Guo*.


    Jiang Zhe lived happily ever after, and even after Li Cai Wei passed away, he was filled with gratitude. He personally sent off his most beloved person, suffered from grief alone, before he finally closed his eyes and fell into his final rest.


    Thesystem gave him sufficient time to for him to adjust his emotions.


    After an undeterminable amount of time, Jiang Zhe woke up in a sea of white.


    Jiang Zhe: "How am I here?"


    System: "This is for you to adjust your emotions. Now that youre awake, let''s go to the next world."


    Jiang Zhe: "Wait."


    System: "What?"


    Jiang Zhe: "How is she?"


    The systems tone was slightly proud, "Much better, so you better work harder. Lets go.


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    The next second, the two disappeared from their spot.


    "Quick, quickly, don''t let Jiang Zhe run."


    Thesky was already dark, surrounded by weeds, tall trees and branches intertwined to form distorted shadows.


    A group of tall men with torches kept searching on the mountain road.


    Suddenly, a clear voice in the crowd shouted: "I found Jiang Zhe, quicklye."


    Everyone rushed over.The torch dispelled the darkness, and under the orange glow, a thin young manid on the ground, it was unknown if he was alive or dead.


    The leading man kicked him, "Hey, Jiang Zhe, dont you fucking pretend to die."


    Someone nearby echoed: "Yeah, Jiang Zhe, don''t think that you can escape punishment by fainting."


    After a while, when the person on the ground still didnt react, the crowd finally felt there was something wrong.Someone immediately squatted down to carefully pull open Jiang Zhes cor.


    "Ah, blood, theres blood."


    Theleading man''s pupils shrank and he squatted down to carefully look at it. The crowd found out then that Jiang Zhe''s forehead was full of blood.


    Just because he was lying down, they didn''t see it.


    The leading man picked up Jiang Zhe and ran to the vige, the others following closely.


    Although Jiang Zhes was terrible for escaping selfishly, now that it was a matter of life and death, it was better to treat him first, then talk.


    *Jian Guo  Meaning to establish a country or build up a country


    TN: End of the first arc. Second arc may startte next week due to CNY break! Need to entertain my rtives, so I''m not sure if I have the time to trante it. At least there''s closure for this arc ?

 Chapter 21

    Chapter 21


    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (1)</strong>


    "Do you think that Jiang Zhe will die? I heard that when the Xu familys people found him, he had lost a lot of blood."


    "Indeed. You didnt see him when he was carried back; his face was as pale as a ghost.


    "Pft, dont speak of such nonsense. The chairman had already said that we must take a scientific approach to things."


    "Yes, yes. I spoke wrongly, spoke wrongly."


    ""


    Thevoice gradually went away. Jiang Zhe was in aplete deep sleep.


    Xu Qing came at this time. In the dpidated mud house, there was a pale, handsome young man lying on a narrow wooden bed. His body was covered with a thin quilt and his face had an unhealthy deep red flush.


    Xu Qing felt a little distressed for him. She wanted to go forward, but at the same time, she was worried about the distance between men and women, eventually withdrawing out of the room.


    Thinking about it, her worries ultimately took over her.She turned around and headed to the clinic in the vige to get some fever-reducing medicine.


    Just as she came back, she bumped into her big brother who came to check on the situation, quickly hiding her hands behind her back.


    Xu Shou Yi: "Qing Qing, what do you have in your hand?"


    Xu Qing: "No, nothing."


    Xu Shou Yis face sank, "Still trying to cheat me. I saw it. The medicine in your hand is for Jiang Zhe that kid?"


    Xu Qing stammered, not speaking.


    Xu Shou Yi was extremely angry, stretching out his index finger to poke his younger sister''s forehead. "Qing Qing, you are so foolish. Jiang Zhe that kids heart doesnt have you in it at all. Why cant you forget about him?"


    Xu Qing lowered her head.


    Xu Shou Yi encouraged her further, "Just talking about this times incident. Not to mention how he ran away and left Dad at a loss of how to ount for it to his higher ups. If he even had a little hint of you in his heart, such situations where Jiang Zhe sneaks out in the middle of the night to run away wouldnt happen."


    Xu Qing clenched the medicine in her hands, unable to refute.


    Just as the atmosphere turned stiff, the sounds of movement came from the within the house.


    The brother and sister duo immediately entered the room to check. The young man who was originally lying on the bed had unknowingly fallen on the ground.


    The Xu Qing who had been somewhat swayed just now immediately softened her heart. Throwing the medicine to her brother, she ran to help Jiang Zhe up.


    Xu Qing: "Jiang Zhe, are you alright? Don''t scare me."


    Jiang Zhe''s gaze was unfocused, his lips cracked, unconsciously saying: "Water, water."


    Xu Qing: "Oh, yes. Ill immediately pour a ss of water for you."


    Xu Qing''s movements were very fast. Within the blink of an eye, she had fed Jiang Zhe a bowl of water.


    Xu Qing saw him drinking quickly with the water spilling onto his clothes, and hurriedly wiped him. When she touched him, she realised his temperature was extremely high.


    Xu Qing couldnt care about anything else, shouting: "Big Brother, quickly bring Jiang Zhes medicine over. Hes already unconscious from his fever burning up. If this goes on, his life would be lost."


    Xu Shou Yi was shakened. Carefully, he took out the tablets and fed it to Jiang Zhe with some warm water.


    Xu Shou Yi: "I was careless. I forgot his wound was infected, making it easy to get a high fever."


    Xu Qing: "Its nothing, as long as he doesnt die.


    Xu Qing gentlyced Jiang Zhe back on the bed, and followed her brother out.Brows tightly locked, "Big Brother, how will Dad deal with Jiang Zhe this time?


    Xu Shou Yi: "I don''t know."


    Xu Qing pursed her lips. "Can you-"


    Xu Shou Yi: "Dont even think about it. Even though Dad is the team leader of the production team, but with so many eyes watching, you still want to Dad to openly side Jiang Zhe."


    Xu Qing remained silent.


    Xu Shou Yi softened his face and said: "Qing Qing, three-legged  are difficult to find, two-legged men are plenty, why must you hang onto Jiang Zhe this twisted tree?"


    Xu Qing said nothing.


    After a long time.


    Xu Qing finally said: "I understand, Big Brother."


    Jiang Zhes injury this time caused him to lie in bed for half a month, his workpoints* almost being deductedpletely.


    During this period, Xu Qing nced at him from afar. When Jiang Zhe looked over, she ran away again.


    Jiang Zhe: "Is it her?"


    The system innocently said: "I don''t know what you are talking about?"


    Jiang Zhe smiled.


    Xu Shou Yi brought people along with him when enough time had passed. Looking down at him disdainfully, he said: "Jiang Zhe, you are an educated youth, yet you fled selfishly. This kind of behaviour has a very bad influence on the team. The captain has already punished you. From today, you "


    Jiang Zhe interrupted him and looked up: "I didn''t run away?"


    Xu Shou Yi: "It is toote to ask for mercy now. Wait, hey, what did you just say?"


    Jiang Zhe''s gaze was calm, lightly saying: "I didnt run away, so I refuse to ept the teams punishment."


    Xu Shou Yi directly gave an angryugh, "You didnt run away, then why did you not remain in Zhi Qing courtyard, instead running to the barren and remote mountains in the middle of the night?"


    Jiang Zhe "Hungry, wanted to catch wild animals."


    The people who followed along dug their ears and suspected that they had heard wrongly.


    Jiang Zhesaid again: "You said that I fled. When you found me, did I have any bags on my body?"


    Xu Shou Yi:


    He thought about it carefully, it seemed that there really wasnt any.


    Jiang Zhe spreaded his hands: "As the saying goes, the one who caught a thief took some stolen goods; the one who caught a rapist also caught a disloyal wife*. You don''t have any evidence. How did you determine that I was running away?"


    Xu Shou Yi wasnt appeased: "Then what do you rely on to say you didnt run away?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I already said it. I didn''t take any bags. Have you seen someone running away without bringing anything along, just solely running away with nothing?"


    Others: It makes a little sense.


    Jiang Zhe faintly looked at Xu Shou Yi, slightly quirking his lips up.


    Xu Shou Yis embarrassment turned into anger: "You wait and see."


    A group of people came with a flourish, but left quickly.


    The young man sitting on the bed rubbed his shoulder. Jiang Zhe wiped his face, silently saying How risky.


    The original soul indeed wanted to escape. Because his parents died, after receiving the news, he couldnt stand the blow and ran out. Because of this, he didnt bring anything.


    In the original world, the original soul had gone numb from depression, and epted the production teams punishment for him. It was also from that moment on that the situation of the original soul plummeted, bullied by everyone.


    Naturally, the original soul ckened.Unfortunately, he wasnt very smart. Others bullied him, but he med it on the production team leader, Xu Zhi Hong.


    Xu Qing was originally interested in him, so Jiang Zhe deliberately seduced her, pretending to be a good person, leading Xu Qing to marry him.However, the year that the national examinations resumed*, he unhesitantly abandoned the mother and son duo, causing the Xu family to be theughing stock of the vige.


    Jiang Zhe had to be grateful. If he came one stepte, the difficulty of this task would be increased by at least several levels.


    He had probably cleared this current obstacle.


    As Jiang Zhe guessed, he was once again assigned back to Zhi Qing courtyard, with only verbal criticisms about his midnight run to the mountains to catch wild animals.


    If anything, Jiang Zhe was really too unlucky, he didnt even catch the smell of the wild animals. He even slipped and injured his head, bleeding profusely.When the vigers talked about him, they were also crying whileughing.


    Theyughed at the educated youth who came from a city, yet also desiring to eat meat. Turning around, they thought about how their own family had not even had a whiff of meat in a long time, who wouldnt desire eating meat?


    This incident had a huge uproar, yet the actual impact was small. The vigers only casually chatted about it during their free time.


    However, every time the young people in the Zhi Qing courtyard saw him, they always said a few teasing words. Jiang Zhe justughed it off.


    On this day, he came back from the field carrying his hoe and saw that there was a woman pacing around at the courtyard entrance.


    Jiang Zhe: "Xu Qing?"


    Xu Qing was shocked. Looking around, she saw him and her eyes couldnt help but arc.


    Xu Qing had a pair of phoenix eyes, her gaze tranquil. Her whole body was surrounded by a type of quiet temperament, and it was easy to differentiate her from the crowd at first sight.


    Jiang Zhe approached and asked her: "What is the matter for you toe here?"


    Xu Qing pursed her lips slightly, slightly embarrassed. "I, I just came to see how you are doing? Last time, Big Brother misunderstood you. I am very sorry."


    Jiang Zhe: "Its nothing. The team leader has returned my innocence."


    Xu Qingnodded, and Jiang Zhe pushed the door open, "Come in and sit?"


    Xu Qing''s face was a little red. Suppressing her embarrassment, she walked in.


    Jiang Zhe was slightly surprised.He thought that Xu Qing would note in.


    Jiang Zhe poured a bowl of water for her. "Sorry, there is only water here to be served."


    Xu Qing repeatedly waved her hand. "No, its nothing, this water is quite sweet."


    Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows. This, was he being teased?


    Xu Qing returned to her senses and blushed. "No, no, I don''t mean that. I mean, the water here is from a spring, and spring water is always slightly sweet."

    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (2)</strong>


    Xu Qing was proud of the good excuse she had found. How could she be so smart?


    She sipped the water in the bowl, secretly peeking at the youth from the corner of her eye.


    When she identally met Jiang Zhe''s gaze, she was shocked and panicked, hurriedly looking away. She lowered her head, not daring to look around again.


    Jiang Zheughed in his heart, turning around to put the hoe down, before taking a basin of water and washing his face.


    Xu Qing listened to the sound of the water behind her, and her ears gradually became red.


    Xu Qing: "Jiang, Jiang Zhe, what are you doing?"


    Jiang Zhe deliberately teased her. "Im washing up. These few days have been very hot*. In just half a day, there is a lot of sweat."


    Xu Qing''s face was red.Wash, washing up!!


    How could Jiang Zhe be like this? She was still here, how embarrassing would it be if people saw it.


    Xu Qings eyes fluttered and she stuttered: Jiang Zhe, you, quickly, quickly wear your clothes, wear your clothes properly, if not, others will misunderstand if they see it.


    In the middle of her words, Jiang Zhe walked in front of her, What would others misunderstand?


    Xu Qing: "!!!"


    Xu Qing: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!!"


    Jiang Zhe froze, "What''s wrong?"


    Other people also quickly pushed open Zhi Qing courtyards door, taking a look at what happened.


    Xu Qing subconsciously moved in front of Jiang Zhe to block him and screamed vigorously: What are you doing, go out, dont see, dont see.


    Jiang Zhe: See what?


    Xu Qing closed her eyes and pushed him back. Jiang Zhe, quickly go in, don''t let them see you."


    However, her hand touched a piece of cloth. En, cloth?


    Xu Qing opened her eyes. Jiang Zhes clothes were still on properly.


    Others looked at her curiously. "What were you just shouting about?"


    "Yeah, scared me to death, I still thought something happened to you."


    "Really, dont make a fuss over nothing in the future. I still have a lot of work to do."


    The people dispersed.


    Xu Qing was very embarrassed.Rubbing her face with both her hands, she buried her head into her chest and ran out.


    Jiang Zhe caught her, and due to inertia, she ran into his chest.


    Xu Qing: o (*////////*) q


    Xu Qing shyly said: "Jiang Zhe, are you alright?"


    Jiang Zhe resisted the urge tough, massaging his chest, "Hitting it once is fine, if you hit it more then it wont be fine."


    Xu Qing med him. "Youre so naughty."


    After saying that, she rushed out quickly.


    Jiang Zhe was shocked. Why did he feel that Xu Qing was cold and quiet?


    Sure enough, it was because he hadnt seen meat for a long time, bing muddle-headed.


    Xu Qing left Zhi Qing courtyard and returned to her home, skipping the whole way, extremely happy.


    When she got home, she saw three ck faces.


    Xu Zhi Hong: "Where did you go?"


    Xu Shou Yi: "Did you go looking for Jiang Zhe?


    Xu Shou Ren: "Do you still need to ask? Younger Sister must have gone to find Jiang Zhe that pretty boy. If nothings happening still, just pay for him instead."


    Xu Qing was not happy. She caught her second brother''s hand and bit, "Dont talk about Jiang Zhe like that."


    Xu Shou Ren cried out loudly in pain, Dad, Mom, Brother, see how Younger Sister treats this brother of hers. For a man, she can harden her heart to bite her own brother''s hand."


    Xu Qing loosed her grip: "Who told you to call Jiang Zhe a pretty boy.


    Xu Shou Ren: "We havent even matched your eight-characters. Youre currently treating him this way, if you really got married with him, wouldnt youpletely turn towards him and away from your own family."


    Xu Zhi Hongs face sank, "Qing Qing,apologize to your second brother."


    Xu Shou Ren looked at her gloatingly.


    Xu Qing pushed him away and ran into the inner room.


    Xu Shou Rens wife: "Dad, Mom, you also saw it. Qing Qing is bing less and less considerate of us. Today, for an outsider, she bit her second brothers hand. In the future, if she really got married, she might even help her husbands family to go against her family."


    Mother Xu couldn''t sit still, and smiled coldly: "Old Seconds wife is right. Our Qing Qing isnt much, but shes still better than someone who treats their husbands family as a treasury, desperately pulling money over to their family.


    Old Seconds wife: Mom, what are you talking about?


    Mother Xu: What am I talking about, Im talking human words. Since Old Seconds wife is too free every day, go to the field tomorrow. The work in the warehouse, the Eldests wife and Qing Qing are enough."


    Old Seconds wife was anxious: "Mom!!!" Saying so, she pulled on her man''s sleeves.


    Xu Shou Ren: "Mom, is that really necessary?"


    Mother Xu: "Necessary. I haven''t died yet, yet your wife dared to ruin you siblings rtionship in front of me. When I die, will she still have to go to heaven?"


    Xu Shou Ren: "Mom, don''t, don''t be like this. My wife, she isjust saying things without meaning it, nothing else."


    Xu Shou Ren: "Dad, Big Brother, you also say something."


    Xu Zhi Hong grumbled for a while, "Just do as your mom says."


    Xu Shou Ren: "No, dad, dad, dad."


    Mother Xu: "Enough, what are you all dazing out for. Do you have too little to do, and are bored to death?"


    It was another chaotic day for the Xu family.


    Jiang Zhe remained ignorant about it, going to work on time every day, and going back to the house when it gets dark.


    Lying on a wooden bed at night, he looked at the yellow-brown stained roof above his head. He sighed, got up from the bed, put on his thin coat and pushed open the door.


    "Jiang Zhe, where are you going?"


    "Youre not going up to the mountain to catch wild animals again, are you?"


    Jiang Zhe: "No. Its just very stuffy in the room. Im going out for a breather."


    "Indeed, this small broken house is cold during winter and hot during summer. There is never afortable time during the whole year."


    "Aiya, dont say anymore. If others heard this, dont know if they would have any weird ideas."


    The others saw that Jiang Zhe was really only resting in the courtyard and no longer cared about him. They were all people who worked the whole day. Who didnt want to instantly sleep when theyid down in bed.


    There was a light breeze blowing, dissipating a lot of heat.Jiang Zhefortably breathed out and walked back to the house to lie down, sleeping until the next day.


    He followed the other educated youths to eat, and carrying the hoe, went back to work.


    On the way, passing by a cowshed, he saw an old couple. The man wasme in one leg, and he was extremely hunchbacked, but his eyes were especially calm. When he saw Jiang Zhe looking at him, he even nodded at him.


    Jiang Zhe replied with a faint smile, but his heart was filled with a little sadness.


    He was clearly a noble teacher, but had been made into his current situation by people. Really, a pearl covered in dirt.


    Really hope that the higher ups can be enlightened sooner, so that this dark age can be over faster.


    Jiang Zhe took back his gaze and suppressed his thoughts.He invested himself in a new round of work.


    Not long after, Xu Zhi Hong came and gave the group a touching speech. Everyone raised their fists and shouted the farmers slogan: Fighting hard, persisting without rest.


    Jiang Zhe stood in the middle of the crowd with a few educated youths from their courtyard. He watched other people''s emotions swelling up, their skin a rare shade of red.


    The system cheaply ran out to find a sense of existence: "Host, you can''t do this. You cant be too attached. How will you get past the other worlds in the future?"


    Jiang Zhe''s eyelids didnt even blink.


    System: Suddenly angry.


    Xu Zhi Hong finished motivating the workers and watched the excited crowd below, extremely satisfied.


    Today''s autumn harvest, as long as everyone guarantees this momentum, there would be no worries that they couldn''t collect enough food. After handing in the required amount to the higher ups, there would be a lot left, enough for everyone to have a full meal.


    The sun gradually climbed into the sky, and at noon, everyone could finally rest.


    Jiang Zhes previous workpoints had been mostly deducted. These few days of work relied heavily on the courtyards people help, so he took the initiative to prepare lunch.


    In this era, there was a shortage of everything. Jiang Zhe took some ready ingredients and made sweet potato porridge. En, most of it was sweet potato, with a little water and a pathetic amount of porridge.


    Put the cabbage in the water and add some salt to cook.


    The food was served on the table. Everyone ate the food tastelessly with no fluctuations in their expressions.


    Jiang Zhes face distorted for a moment, but he still picked up his chopsticks and ate his portion.


    He used to think that he was an innocent and desire-free Sadhu, that he could be indifferent to any kind of delicacies ced in front of him.


    Now, he understood. He was indifferent before, only because he hadnt suffered enough.


    Sweet potato and vegetables would cure his hypocrisy.


    Everyone ate quickly inrge bites. The earlier they ate finish, the earlier they could start work. After lunch, they briefly washed the dishes in clean water.


    After eating, washing the dishes, andying down in the bed, they waited for the team leaders broadcast before starting work again.


    Jiang Zhe was in urgent need of workpoints. Though he was exhausted in the afternoon, he only dared to take a short break, taking a breather. After that, he continued doing his work.


    "Jiang Zhe, how are you doing? Don''t struggle to work, take a break."


    "Yeah, if you continue on, youll fall ill from exhaustion and be unable to continue working. Your workpoints will be simrly deducted."


    "Yes, Yao Yao is right. Jiang Zhe, go sit by the field for a short while.


    They were in the second production team of the constructionmune. There were a total of nine educated youths, three women and six men, of which three were of age and had married locals and moved out.The remaining one woman and five men were colder and more united.


    Yao Yao was the only girl in the remaining educated youth. She had sweet and beautiful looks, with a self-important and self-confident attitude. Many bachelors in the vige had chased her, but they were all rejected.


    At first they thought that Yao Yao didn''t want to date and marry. Later, when they saw her eyes lingering on Jiang Zhe, it dawned on them.


    This was also why in the original world, after Jiang Yu fell into dire straits, so many people came to insult and bully him. It was all out of jealousy.


    But Yao Yao, who caused all of this, just lightly said a line "Im not familiar with Jiang Zhe" and washed herself clean.


    Jiang Zhe couldnt ept it, but also had no strength to do anything about it.


    So he just said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, I have my own calctions in my heart."


    Yao Yao: "But you"


    The oldest educated youth stopped her, "Alright, Jiang Zhe is an adult. And we are observing from the side, theres no need to worry."


    Yao Yao finallystopped: "Okay."


    Just that, her eyes seemed glued to Jiang Zhe, unable to be pried off.


    Such behavior undoubtedly brought a lot of hatred to Jiang Zhe.


    Jiang Zhe: Im tired (emotionally).


    In fact, he didnt understand what Yao Yao saw in him. The original souls parents had passed away, and he was a lone son struggling to live. Other than his face, there was nothing else he was good for.


    As for education?Now, the professors were all being beaten and criticised by everyone. Who would dare to expose their knowledge before the national examinations?


    Therefore, considering the various factors, Jiang Zhe found it iprehensible.


    Night fell, and the sky gradually darkened.The people of the second production team had worked a full day, going home in groups to eat dinner.


    Jiang Zhe was exhausted in body, but his spirit was still in good condition. He even had the mood to calcte how many years it would be before the national examinations resumed.


    It was now in autumn. Considering the months, there was a full two years left.


    Two years!


    Jiang Zhe sighed.


    Yao Yao came over and asked concernedly: "Jiang Zhe, what''s wrong with you? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?"


    The other educated youth also looked over, some mocking, some interested, and some jealous.


    Xiang Cheng smiled, asking: "Yao Yao, why are you so concerned about Jiang Zhe?"


    "Yeah, we are also exhausted from a full days work. But I dont see you, this big beauty,ing over out of concern."


    Yao Yao blushed, daintily tapped her feet, and bit her lips: "You are too bad. I don''t want to walk with you, I will go back first."


    "Hey, hey, don''t go, we are joking."


    Xiang Cheng: "Jiang Zhe, you arent chasing?"


    Jiang Zhe rebutted: "Why should I chase?"


    Xiang Cheng thought for a while, "But Yao Yao, she


    Right, at this time, Xiang Cheng finally remembered. Other than Yao Yaos asional flirty gaze, there was actually nothing between them.


    Jiang Zhe saw that he had figured it out, and stopped saying more.


    Silence reigned the whole way.


    At night, Jiang Zhe was lying on the bed and suddenly heard a cuckoo outside the courtyard.


    Jiang Zhes face darkened: How courageous of that girl.


    Jiang Zhe put on his coat and used the old excuse of taking a breather to go out.


    He lightly closed the courtyard door, and suddenly there was a strange "Psst" sound from close by.


    Jiang Zhe:


    He epted his fate, and walked over.


    Xu Qing emerged from behind the tree, a big smile on her face, "Surprised?"


    The reality in front of him coincided with his memory of middle school. Jiang Zhe really couldn''t be angry with her.


    He vented by pulling on her cheeks, helplessly saying: "What would you do if people saw?"


    Xu Qing was still slightly unfamiliar with his closeness, her heart beating unusually quick.


    Xu Qing: "It, it wont happen. I can run fast, and Im the teams ace at climbing trees. If someone else came out, I would quickly slip away. If I can''t run, I can still climb up the tree. If you don''t believe, I can climb one for you right away."


    Jiang Zhe didnt know tough or cry, and quickly stopped her, whispering: "Its sote, why are youing to find me?"


    Xu Qing handed over a package wrapped in leaves, "Last time, I ran into you. I feel very sorry, this is my apology to you."


    Jiang Zhe: "No need, Im not angry with you."


    Xu Qing didnt care, "I ask you to take it so you should take it, why do you talk so much."


    As her words fell, her stomach growled.


    Jiang Zhe: "You didn''t eat?"


    Xu Qing stubbornly gave a fakeugh: "How could that be, I ate beforeing out."


    During this period, food was more expensive. Xu familys father and mother loved Xu Qing and probably wouldnt say anything, but what about the Xu familys other members?


    Jiang Zhe didnt expose her, opening the leaves, and split it into two. Xu Qing gave in a little, receiving it with a sweet feeling in her heart.


    Xu family''s living standard was good. This times autumn harvest was the mostborious time, so the food was very sufficient.


    After a few days, Jiang Zhe once again ate meat, and actually felt fortunate.


    He quickly scattered this illusion, and reluctantly ate finish his food.


    Xu Qing sat next to him, both hands supporting her chin, smiling widely, "Jiang Zhe, you look good when you eat."


    Xu Qing: "If I look at you every day, I can eat two bowls of rice."


    Jiang Zhe:


    He coughed lightly, his face serious: "There is a saying, the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid with a spring of water. Friend Xu, the kindness of this meal is worth much more than water. I have nothing on me, Im afraid that I can only repay your kindness with my body. I dont know if Friend Xu will ept it.


    The smile on Xu Qings face froze.


    Xu Qing: "What did you just say?"


    The dark clouds dispersed, revealing the big bright moon.The bright moonlight sprinkled on the treetops and on the youths head.The silver moonlight seemed to coat his body with ayer of silver light, extremely beautiful.


    And now, this youth asked her "Using my body to repay, do you ept?"


    Heavens, she must have not woken up yet.


    Jiang Zhe stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, pretending to be depressed: "It seems that Friend Xu is not interested in me, then forget it, another day."


    "Wait!" Xu Qing stretched out her arm, blocking the youths path, her face solemn: "You can rest assured, I will be good to you in the future."


    Jiang Zhe:


    Somehow not very grateful ==


    *These few days have been very hot ()   aka Autumn tigers describes autumn afternoons that are exceptionally hot, exceeding 35. I dont have much experience in this because Im from a tropical country thats hot throughout the year (except monsoon seasons).

    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (3)</strong>


    Xu Qing stared at the youth with a burning gaze, lest he shake his head.


    Jiang Zhe found it funny and asked her: "Do you know my situation before saying youll be responsible for me."


    Xu Qing was stunned.


    Jiang Zhe looked at her calmly. "My parents are already dead, and I am here alone, my future unknown. You being with me, are you not afraid that I will drag you down?"


    Xu Qing firmly shook her head.


    Jiang Zhe really didn''t understand. "Friend Xu, other than my face, I have nothing else. What exactly do you like about me?"


    Xu Qing froze, her face gradually reddened, "Why must you speak so straightforwardly, making people embarrassed.


    Jiang Zhe didnt give her the opportunity to avoid the topic, his hands holding onto her shoulders, their eyes meeting, "Tell me, alright?"


    Xu Qing: !!!


    Xu Qing looked away: "I just like you, thats it. When I look at you, I feel happy, feel like talking with you, living together with you."


    [I just like you, thats it. When I look at you, I feel happy, feel like talking with you, feel like studying with you, going to school and home together with you.]


    The past that he previously took for granted, thinking back on it now, it was still vivid in his memory.


    Jiang Zhe smiled softly.


    He stroked Xu Qings head and said: "I understand. Itste, quickly go back."


    Xu Qing stammered: "Then you agreed."


    Jiang Zhe nodded.


    Xu Qing: "Yaywuwu"


    Jiang Zhe coveredher mouth, whispering: "Qing Qing, do you want to bring others around?"


    The hot air exhaled by the youth hit her ear, causing Xu Qings ears to turn red.


    She wanted to nod, signalling that she understood, but the young man had covered her mouth and she couldnt move.In desperation, she didnt know where the impulse came from, but she actually stretched out her tongue to lick the youths palm.


    Jiang Zhe fiercely retracted his hand, "You"


    Xu Qing: "Im going home, Jiang Zhe see you again."


    After that, as she said, she quickly slipped away, disappearing.


    Jiang Zhe: "Monkeys dont even run as fast as you."


    The youth shook his head and turned back to the house. Under the bright moonlight, theughter on his lips was exposed.


    A good nights sleep.


    The autumn harvest was in full swing, the scorching sun was burning, the youths danced with a sickle, sweating buckets.


    He had tanned and lost weight, butpared to the entire second production team, he was still the fairest one.


    If the people on the team didn''t pay attention to him from time to time, they would have thought he had cked off.


    The autumn harvest grew closer to the end. The women on the team no longer went to the field. Due to Jiang Zhes good performance before, he could take a day off after finishing his work today.


    A group ofdies rested in the shade while looking at the men working in the fields, gathering together noisily discussing.


    "Youth Xiangs stature is really tall and hes handsome, especially when he smiles."


    "What''s the use of good looks, I think it is better to be like the Lin family''s men. They are tall and strong,making work quick and efficient."


    But I think the Youth Jiang is also good. Not only does he looks good, he is also polite, unhurried, and how should I say it, gives a special feeling."


    You have feelings for Youth Jiang, dont you?"


    Dont speak nonsense, what if people heard and misunderstood?"


    "They wont. The whole team is pairing Youth Jiang and Youth Yao."


    Xu Qing at the side: Angry like a pufferfish.


    This Jiang Zhe sure is good. He was still so intimate with mest night, saying that I was his lifes partner. But actually he long had another partner privately.


    Xu Qing angrily pulled the grass at her feet, looking like she couldnt wait to bite him.


    Expectedly, during the lunch break at noon, Xu Qing snuck away again.


    The familiar cuckoo sounds.


    Jiang Zhe:


    He got up and went out.


    Xu Qing hid behind a big tree, her eyes red like a rabbit.


    Jiang Zhe: "You cried?"


    Xu Qing: "No."


    Jiang Zhe: "Oh."


    Xu Qing was anxious, stamping her feet whispering: "Jiang Zhe!!!"


    Jiang Zhe reached out and gently tapped her forehead, warmlyforting her: "What''s wrong? Who wronged you?"


    Xu Qing red at him, "You."


    Jiang Zhe was baffled: "What did I do?"


    Xu Qings tears flowed out of anger, crying: "You are already a couple with Youth Yao, how can you still be so ambiguous with me."


    Jiang Zhes face darkened.Who was with who?


    Jiang Zhe: "Im not."


    Xu Qing was dubious: "Really?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Really, more true than gold."


    Xu Qing broke into smile through her tears: "Dont say so much useless words. Then I ask you, why is everyone on the team pairing you with Youth Yao? Theres no wind without a tunnel, it couldnt have started out of nowhere."


    Jiang Zhe teased her: "Qing Qing still knows how to use idioms.


    Xu Qing: "Of course, I am the smartestdy on our team." Btedly, she reacted, lowly shouting: "Jiang Zhe."


    Jiang Zhe: "En?"


    Xu Qing: "Dont change the subject."


    Jiang Zhe: "No."


    Xu Qing: "?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I have nothing to do with Youth Yao. The people on the team guessed indiscriminately."


    Xu Qing: "But, but "


    Jiang Zhe: "But what?"


    Xu Qing: "But Youth Yao looks good and is knowledgeable, much better than me, this country girl."


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe: "Qing Qing."


    Xu Qing: "Ah?"


    Jiang Zhe pinched her face, moving closer and smiled: "In the three thousand miles of the Ruoshui river, I will only take a sip. After saying so, he turned around and left.


    Xu Qing mind slowed down.


    She wanted to call out to stop him, but she was afraid of attracting other peoples attention. Pouting, she left unwillingly.


    "In the three thousand miles of the Ruoshui river, I will only take a sip."


    Xu Qing: "What is that? Not speaking clearly, hes obviously bullying me for not being as educated."


    Xu Qing held onto a branch, angrily beating the grass by the side of the path.


    "Bad Jiang Zhe, looking so upright, but how can he be so bad. Hateful, deliberately leaving me hanging, extremely bad."


    Xu Qing forcefully hit the grass, soon ttening them.


    Xu Qing looked up at the sky: "It''s so hot."


    Forget it, she should go home.


    On the way, after passing a ce, the smell almost caused her to vomit, "How smelly.


    She looked around and saw the cowshed on the side of the side, no wonder it was so stinky.


    Xu Qing lifted her feet and prepared to leave quickly. Suddenly, she wondered that it seemed to be a bad thing to clean the cowshed.


    In fact, Xu Qing was not very superstitious.


    That old couple was very nice. Every time she greeted them, they would always nod their heads in response. They were much kinder than the other difficult olddies in the vige.


    On such a hot day, dont know if they could tolerate it.


    Thinking about this, Xu Qing couldnt continue walking. After a while, she turned around and went to the cowshed.


    The old man who used to sit in the shade of the thatched cottage door was gone, and Xu Qing was a little anxious.


    She did not dare to shout out loud, only pinching her nose, looking around worriedly. She knocked on the cottage door, but there was no response.


    She pushed the door open, and saw the old couple lying on the floor, faces flushed an unhealthy red.


    Xu Qing was anxious: "Elders, elders are you alright?"


    She touched their faces, they were burning up.


    Xu Qing did not dare hesitate, rushing home to call for her father.Her father was the team leader, with a lot of authority.


    Because help was sent in time, the old couples lives were saved.


    The two elderly were very grateful to Xu Qing, and Xu Qing blushed in embarrassment quite a few times.


    After this incident, Xu Zhi Hong also felt that the two were too old, along with the hot weather. Thus, he temporarily waived their task of cleaning up the cowshed.


    Others naturally didnt want to do it, but the team leader had spoken up, and the team was also afraid that people would really die, so they could only close one eye to it.


    However, without working, there would definitely be no food to eat.


    Xu Qing pressed her lips together in worry, sending some sweet potato and a small handful of rice every day, ensuring they wouldnt starve though they couldnt eat to their fill either.


    Xu Zhi Hong pretended he didnt see it.Xu Shou Yi also wasnt calctive about it. Xu Shou Rens wife wanted to use it to assert herself, but was also afraid of annoying her mother-inw, and could only sigh, hiding her frustration.


    Because of this daily meal delivery, Xu Qing became familiar with the two old people, learnt of their names, and also understood a small portion of their past.


    Xu Qing: "Grandmother Ling, you just said that, that Grandfather Ling''s leg was broken by your son."


    Xu Qing was in a state of disbelief, how could there be such a vicious person in the world?


    Grandmother Ling nodded calmly.


    Xu Qing was a little distressed for them: "You must have been very sad at the time."


    With just a sentence, Grandmother Lings eyes turned red.


    Sad?She was definitely sad.


    The son that she had struggled to raise turned out to be a blind wolf, biting the hand that fed it. Who wouldnt be sad, wouldnt feel their heart chilling?


    Grandmother Ling wiped her eyes. "Its all in the past, its nothing."


    Xu Qing felt very bad.She wanted to apologize, but felt that if they continued talking about this topic, Grandmother Ling would undoubtedly be more hurt, so she closed her mouth.


    The atmosphere gradually became quiet.


    Xu Qing was not used to it. She racked her brains and threw out a topic. "Right, Grandmother Ling, you used to be a prof Cough, knowledgeable people. I have a question that I dont understand, could I consult you?"


    Grandmother Ling smiled, "Im listening."


    Xu Qing: "In the three thousand miles of the Ruoshui river, I will only take a sip."


    Xu Qing: "What does this mean?"


    Grandmother Lings smiled, not answering but asking instead: "Who told you this?"


    Xu Qing twisted her fingers, stuttering: "Only an ordinary friend."


    Grandmother Ling: "It''s a male friend, right?"


    Xu Qing mouth stretched into an O shape, seemingly saying "How do you know."


    A smile surfaced in Grandmother Ling''s eyes as she gently asked: "Do you like that male friend?"


    Xu Qing blushed red, shyly whispering: "Li, like."


    Grandmother Ling looked at her warmly with tender affection from an elder to the younger generation: "Congrattions, Qing Qing. That male friend also likes you."


    Xu Qing: "Ah?"


    Grandmother Ling: "In the three thousand miles of the Ruoshui river, I will only take a sip. The meaning is that people may encounter many beautiful things in their lifetime, but it will be sufficient if they carefully treasure only one of them."


    Xu Qing twisted her brow, still not too clear.


    Grandmother Ling: "Simply put, there are many excellent people but I only like you."


    Xu Qing finally understood.


    She bit the corner of her lips, unable to stop the smile on her face: "Really? Does he really mean this?"


    Grandmother Ling nodded with a good temper.


    Not to mention how happy Xu Qing was, she couldnt even sit still, standing up to walk away. Just as she lifted her feet, she retracted it, embarrassed.


    Grandmother Ling: "Go, you young people have something to talk about."


    Xu Qing: "Grandmother~~"


    Grandmother Ling: "Go."


    After Xu Qing left, Grandmother Lings loved one walked out of the house, pointing out with meaning: "That Youth Jiang is not bad."


    Grandmother Ling smiled and said: "How do you know whether the male friend Qing Qing was talking about is Youth Jiang?"


    Xu Qing excitedly rushed to Zhi Qing courtyard, but was told that Youth Jiang had gone out.


    Xu Qing returned home despondently.Mother Xu saw her and walked over to pinch and twist her waist, whispering: "You this girl, do you have nothing better to do than to run around outside, isnt it tiring."


    Xu Qing grinned and acted spoilt: "Mom raised me well, I am energetic every day, of course Im not tired. Why else would so many people say a child with a mother is a treasure, I love mom the most."


    Mother Xu let her hang on her body, poking her forehead, "You, ah. Only your mouth is sweet."


    Xu Qing grinned.


    Xu Shou Rens wife saw, and secretly pouted.


    Go on,ugh. Wait till you marry someone, see if you can stillugh.


    Three days passed after herst futile attempt at finding Jiang Zhe. In reality, the two people had been separated for a month.


    Before, she didn''t understand the meaning of the sentence, and was too embarrassed to find Jiang Zhe.Later, after she understood it with difficulty, Jiang Zhe had gone out.


    She just wanted to meet the person she likes and talk, why was it so difficult?


    Zhi Qing courtyard.


    Jiang Zhe was organising his package, and the system was brokenly nagging in his mind: "You finally know how to make a girl happy, this system had a hand in it."


    Jiang Zhe:


    He took his package and went out.


    The system stomped: "Jiang Zhe, you bastard. When you need me, you push me to the front; when you dont, you abandon me behind. If it wasnt for this system, would you have money to buy things?"


    Jiang Zhe stopped: "I need to rify a little. The watches and gold bars are my items. They are just stored with you.


    The system harrumphed: "Dont you need to pay for storage?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Thats why I only took one-third."


    System:


    Jiang Zhe took his package and showed off his presence, entering the Xu family.


    Xu Qing: The surprise came too fast, like a tornado.


    She stuttered and asked: "Jiang, Jiang Zhe, why have youe?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Previously, the team leader returned my innocence, I haven''t thanked him yet."


    Saying so, hehanded the package to Xu. Then said: "The gift has been received, I will go back first."


    Mother Xu: "Ah, ah"


    Jiang Zhe walked too fast. Xu Qing wanted to chase, but was pulled back by her mother.


    Mother Xu opened the package in front of everyone. Inside were a few scattered sweets, snacks, a pack of cigarettes and a box of minced meat.


    Xu Shou Rens wife: Heavens, I couldnt tell that Jiang Zhe was so generous.


    Xu Shou Yi''s wife: "Jiang Zhe said that this gift is for Dad, but other than the cigarettes and minced meat, dad doesnt like to eat sweets and snacks."


    Xu Qing raised her hands: "That is of course for me."


    Mother Xu cried whileughing: "You this kid, really unrestrained."


    Words were just words, Mother Xu still gave most of the sweets and snacks to the Xu Qing, splitting the remainder with the rest of the family.


    Although Xu Shou Rens wife wasnt satisfied with it, but after thinking about it, she had gotten it for free. Some food was always better than nothing.


    Jiang Zhes gift waspletely spreaded far and wide, along with Xu Shou Rens wife adding on stories.Shortly after, the entire team was pairing Youth Jiang and Xu Qing together.


    In Zhi Qing courtyard, Xiang Cheng stopped Jiang Zhe and asked in front of everyone: "Jiang Zhe."


    Jiang Zhe: "En?"


    Xiang Cheng: "Are you together with Friend Xu?"


    Jiang Zhe nodded.


    Xiang Cheng and the others were shocked, their mouths falling open. Yao Yao, who came out to fetch water, threw away the basin, crying sadly.

    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (4)</strong>


    Yao Yao covered her mouth and ran back to the house while crying. The door mmed loudly, like thunder, indicating the owners terrible mood.


    Jiang Zhe pretended to be ignorant: "What happened to her?"


    Xiang Chengs face turned dark, and the others didnt know what to say.


    One of the educated youths was Yao Yaos suitor, Lin He, stood up to get justice for his goddess, pointing towards Jiang Zhes nose, scolding: "Jiang Zhe, you two-timing scum male. How does Yao Yao fall behind a vige girl, you sure are blind."


    Jiang Zhe frowned, coldly shouting: "Shut up."


    Lin He moved in closer: "Shut up? Why should I shut up? You dare to do it, but dont dare to own up to it? Eating from the bowl while looking at the pot, half-hearted, you this kind of person should have long been pulled out by someone to be . Your eyes and heart are blind, of all people you found an uncouth vige girl, youre throwing Yao Yaos face to the ground"


    An unexpected fist hit his face, and Lin He was directly stunned.


    Jiang Zhe followed the principle of wanting your life when youre sick, waving his hands, he punched him a few more times. When the others reacted, Lin He had already been beaten into a pig head.


    Xiang Cheng brought the others to separate the two men.


    Xiang Cheng: "Jiang Zhe, what are you doing?"


    Jiang Zhe used his strength to push Xiang Cheng away, adjusted his clothes, deadpanned: "Nothing much, just fulfilling my obligations as Qing Qings partner."


    Jiang Zhe: "A gentleman does not ignore others virtues, and does not speak ill of others. Not to mention we are discussing a woman.


    Jiang Zhe: "Lin He, to be considered an educated youth with you, living in the same courtyard, is really disgusting."


    Lin He, who was lying on the ground screaming in anger, was stunned silly by that line. Opening his mouth, he said You for half a day, but couldnt anything else.


    Jiang Zhe swept his gaze over everyone, loudly saying: "If there is anything to be said, let us say it all today. I have no rtionship with Youth Yao at all. I havent had it before, I dont have it now and I wont have it in the future. If anyone dares to spread rumours in the future, dont me me for being rude to him."


    Everyone was frightened silent.Yao Yao, who was separated by just a door, covered her mouth and cried silently.


    Jiang Zhe left the crowd and turned back to the house.


    System: "Is this alright? I heard that youre managed very strict here, workpoints will be deduced for privately fighting.


    Jiang Zhes face didnt change: "Ill be fine."


    The system was a bit tangled, "But everyone saw when you were beating the other person up.


    Jiang Zhe stopped his hand movements and patiently exined, "Qing Qings father is the team leader."


    System: "??"


    Jiang Zhe:


    How can it be so stupid = =


    Jiang Zhe : "Lin He is naturally at a disadvantage. Moreover, neither I nor the original soul had anything to do with Yao Yao. He insists that we are not innocent, but it was purely rumoured. That will simrly deduct workpoints."


    System: (  |||)


    The system regained its senses: "You have a backing, thats why you fearlessly beat someone up right?"


    Jiang Zheignored it.


    But the system felt that its guess was definitely right.Sure enough, the host was a white-skinned ck sesame rice ball, his heart dirty.


    Jiang Zhe took a book and read it. In fact, his thoughts had long wandered far away.


    In the original world, after the original soul had fallen into dire straits, this Lin He was the most joyful, adding insult to injury regrly.


    Originally, this had nothing to do with him. After all, the original soulter avenged himself.


    However, Lin He himself was useless. He did not dare to openly pursue Yao Yao, but still wanted to pull down and step on other women. Tarnishing his beloved womans reputation, this he could not tolerate.


    As Jiang Zhe expected, nothing happened about that days incident, and life returned to normal.


    In fact, there were some changes


    At least Yao Yao wont look at him with that kind of interested gaze anymore, worthy of celebrating.


    Lin He hated and feared him.He was always ready to catch his weakness, cursing him with bad luck.However, these were all within Jiang Zhes expectations; it was nothing much.


    What made Jiang Zhe surprised was the attitude of the other educated youths.He thought that afterst incident, they would keep a distance from him.However, he did not expect Xiang Cheng and the rest to be closer to him instead, alienating Lin He.


    So, is this considered an unexpected surprise?


    The team was calm. If they had to talk about anything, it would probably be about Jiang Zhe and Xu Qing getting together.


    Everyone was initially skeptical, but they couldnt be more used to itter on.


    Xu Qing held the moisturising cream in her hand, lowering her head and smiling sweetly.


    Xu Qing: "Actually, you don''t have to spend this much."


    Jiang Zhe walked by her side, giving an indifferent En.


    Xu Qing:


    Xu Qing suddenly looked up, "Jiang Zhe, you"


    The youth by her side had a shallow smile, warm and charming.


    Xu Qing was shy and annoyed. "You are too bad, deliberately teasing me, I, Im not going to be with you."


    Jiang Zhe hurriedly pulled her to a stop, holding both hands. Xu Qing retracted her hand, looking around.


    Jiang Zhe coughed, attracting her attention: "Qing Qing, do you know what your current behavior is called?"


    Xu Qing was baffled: "What?"


    Jiang Zhe approached her a little, whispered: "Having the heart, but not the will."


    Xu Qing''s face turned slightly red from anger.


    Xu Qing: "Jiang Zhe, you bad guy, you only know how to bully me."


    Jiang Zhe quickly walked ahead of her a few steps, smiling secretly.


    Xu Qing chased after him, but suddenly slipped, falling forward elegantly.


    Jiang Zhe caught her, hugging her in his embrace. He looked down at her. "Be careful."


    Xu Qing: "Oh, oh. Okay."


    Jiang Zhe helped her up and let go of her. The two people once again walked with a short distance between them.


    Xu Qing found a topic to fill the silence: "Jiang Zhe, what have you been doing recently?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Working, reading."


    Xu Qing nodded: "What books do you read?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Any kind."


    Xu Qing was a little lost, momentarily speechless.


    When he was close to the Xu family''s entrance, a grasshopper origami made of grass suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qing.


    Xu Qing: !!!


    Jiang Zhe shook his head, "Don''t like it?"


    Xu Qing replied with one word: "Like."


    She took the origami grasshopper and looked at it carefully, not wanting to put it down.


    Xu Qing: "Thank you."


    Jiang Zhe: "You''re wee."


    Xu Qing pursed her lips with a little joy and reluctance, "Then, Im going in. Goodbye."


    Xu Qing reluctantly walked home. As the door was closing, Jiang Zhe opened his mouth: "Wait for me to read finish the books, Ill teach you next time."


    Xu Qing smiled widely, happily responding: "En!"


    She closed the door, turned her back and leaned on the door panel and giggling nonstop.


    "Aunt, what are youughing at?" A pudgy boy looked at her curiously.


    Xu Qing:


    Xu Qing: "Ai Guo, be good, go y by the side."


    Xu Ai Guo Guo: "Aunt, youre weird."


    Xu Qing smiled awkwardly and waved her hand: "Youre just a child, you dont need to care so much. Be good, go y by the side."


    As she waved, the origami grasshopper in her hand hopped around.Xu Ai Guo Guo''s eyes lit up. "Aunt, where did you get this from?"


    Xu Qing followed the direction of her nephews index finger and saw that he was talking about the origami grasshopper. She smiled and said: "This is a gift from your aunts friend."


    Xu Ai Guo Guo blindly guessed: "Is it Youth Jiang?"


    Xu Qing nodded shyly.


    Xu Ai Guos eyes shed brightly, So it was from Aunts husband.


    Xu Qing almost choked on her saliva, You, who did you hear that from, we havent even matched our eight-characters.


    Xu Ai Guo grinned. "Its spreaded all around the team."


    He once again said in anticipation:Aunt, can you gift me the origami grasshopper? I want to y."


    Xu Qing immediately covered it, seriously refusing. "No."


    Xu Ai Guo: "How petty. Ill go ask one from Uncle.


    The small chubby boy used his physical strength to squeeze past Xu Qing and ran out with his short legs.


    Jiang Zhe had not gone far, Xu Ai Guo saw him, and ran over quickly, shouting, "Youth Jiang, Youth Jiang, wait a moment."


    Jiang Zhe turned back in curiosity.


    Xu Ai Guo ran till he was panting, putting in effort to open his pair of small eyes, panting out: "Youth, Youth Jiang, can you gift me an origami grasshopper?"


    JiangZhe: "Ah?"


    Xu Ai Guo couldnt care anymore and pulled out all the stops, "Uncle, please."


    Jiang Zhe:Which family is this unlucky child from.


    In the end, Jiang Zhe still made him two origami grasshoppers, which Xu Ai Guo took home happily.


    As soon as he got home, it was robbed away by his younger cousin.


    Xu Ai Guo: ???


    The two brothers fought over it, and finally Xu Zhi Hong came forward to solve the matter.


    Of course, Xu Ai Guo confessed how he came about the origami grasshopper as well.


    Xu Qing shyly ran back to the house, Xu Zhi Hong''s was so angry his chest hurt, "Grown daughters cant be kept at home, grown daughters cant be kept at home ah."


    Mother Xu was not really angry. She rolled her eyes, and pulled over her eldest grandson who was about to be beaten by Xu Zhi Hong, coaxing: "Ai Guo, tell Grandma, what do you think of Youth Jiang?"


    Xu Ai Guo raised his chubby face, saying: "Uncle is very nice, both gentle and powerful. He not only made me an origami grasshopper, but also tells me stories, much better than my dad.


    Xu Shou Yis chest began to hurt too, fiercely saying: You stinky boy, you still dare to say.


    Xu Ai Guo stuck out his tongue and hid behind Mother Xu. Mother Xu red at her eldest son, causing Xu Shou Yis anger to wilt.


    Mother Xu instructed her sons: "You should all find a chance to interact with Youth Jiang, see how his character is?"


    Xu Shou Yi thought of all the things that happened before, and his face turned dark.

    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (5)</strong>


    "Jiang Zhe faster, we have to speed up. Its not early any more, its not good to go back toote."


    Xiang Cheng reminded Jiang Zhe.


    Going to town this time, other than some necessities, they also needed to buy some items for the New Year.


    Although he was still alone, but he still had to treat himself well over the New Year.


    They had already bought most of the necessities on the list, but Jiang Zhe still refused to leave, wandering around seemingly looking for something.


    Xiang Cheng couldnt understand and asked: "Jiang Zhe, what are you looking for?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I want to buy something."


    Other educated youths also came over, "Jiang Zhe, what do you want to buy?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I want to buy some cloth."


    Xiang Cheng: "Buy cloth, what do you need to buy cloth for?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Buyfor Qing Qing."


    "Oh~~~" The others began to holler, Xiang Cheng didnt know whether to cry orugh, "Say so earlier. Right, do you still have money? Do you need me to lend you some?


    Jiang Zhe shook his head. I still have some. Then he paused again: Or, how about you go back first. Ill continue looking for it in the town. If worsees to worse, Ill juste back tomorrow.


    Xiang Cheng: "Don''t. Otherwise, the team leader will think we are letting you run away."


    Jiang Zhes face darkened: "Then Ill trouble you to wait for me here."


    Xiang Cheng and the others: "En, go.


    Jiang Zhe bid farewell to his friends, turned into a small alley, and only came out after an hour, holding a big package in his hand.


    He went to the state-run restaurant and bought seven or eight buns before he re-joined the group.


    Jiang Zhe handed over the buns: "Sorry, Ive let everyone wait for a long time. Eat some buns to fill your hunger."


    They were all from the same courtyard, so the other educated youths didnt stand on ceremony.


    "Wow, it''s actually stuffed with meat. It''s really fragrant."


    "I couldnt tell that Jiang Zhe you are so luxurious. Ive looked till my poor citizen eyes have turned red."


    "Right, Jiang Zhe, what does your family do?


    " "


    Everyone was talking, but Jiang Zhe just smiled the whole way. When they mentioned his family, he just gave a few perfunctory sentences.


    The original soul was very guarded, and never opened his heart to others. Therefore, it was normal for the other educated youths to remain unaware of his situation.


    However, Jiang Zhe was also quite restrained. He only tried his best to improve the quality of his life as much as possible, doing just the bare minimum for everything else.


    He always kept this sentence in his mind: the gun shoots the bird that stands out.This was especially so in such a vtile era.


    During the few days of the Laba Festival, Jiang Zhe brought some items and knocked on the Xu familys door.


    Mother Xu opened the door for him, saw that his hands were not empty, her face was gleeful, and her heart was very satisfied.


    He was a polite boy.


    Although Xu Zhi Hong still had no expression on his face, but after Jiang Zhe sat down, he still invited him for lunch.


    Jiang Zhe smiled and thanked him.


    He handed the gift to Mother Xu and apanied the Xu familys men to chat over tea.


    Xu Zhi Hong was talking most of the time, Xu Shou Yi answered him, asionally asking Jiang Zhes opinion. Jiang Zhe also avoided heavy topics, and chatted about light topics, trying his best to go around it.


    Some topics were too sensitive, he needed to guard against eavesdroppers.


    Xu Zhi Hong was not satisfied with his sly character. In his eyes, sly people tend to overthink. His daughter was such an innocentdy, if she fell into Jiang Zhes hands, she would be eaten whole.


    Therefore, when food was served on the table, he took his sons and took turns drinking with Jiang Zhe.


    Jiang Zhe didnt refuse. Even though his face turned red from drinking, he still maintained a calm and strong appearance.


    Xu Qing was very distressed, "Dad!!"


    Mother Xu didnt agree with it either, and secretly pulled his clothes under the table.


    Xu Zhi Hong avoided her hand and continued to fill Jiang Zhes cup.Taking advantage of his drunken state, he continually interrogated him.


    Xu Zhi Hong: "Youth Jiang is handsome and knowledgeable, how did youe to like Qing Qing?"


    Xu Qing was not happy. Did he have to badmouth his own daughter in front of her partner?


    Xu Zhi Hong didnt care about his daughter, his gaze shining as he looked at Jiang Zhe, waiting for an answer.


    Jiang Zhe had a lot he could say. He wanted to praise Xu Qings kindness, liveliness, and cuteness. But as he was about to say it, it changed. "Its a kind of feeling. When I see Qing Qing, I think about how fortunate I would be if I could spend the rest of my life with her."


    Xu Zhi Hong was not satisfied, what kind of answer was this?


    Xu Zhi Hong: "Qing Qing has onlypleted primary school education. She also doesnt look very bright. Of course, its still considered excellent within our team. If you want to talk about temper, I, her dad, am the most clear. She cant be considered very gentle and considerate. Like this, do you still like her?"


    Jiang Zhe swayed his ss, looking at the reflection in the wine, his eyebrows slightly arched. "Since I like her, I will naturally ept all her good and bad points." Not waiting for Xu Zhi Hong to make things difficult, he continued: "If I follow your standards, then other than me having a little knowledge, Im even more worthless. There are many outside who are better than me. Dont tell me if Qing Qing one day sees someone who is better than me, she would change her target of affection?"


    Xu Qing stood up fiercely, her voice resounding: "Certainly not. I, I, she looked at Jiang Zhe, her eyes moving around quickly, No matter what youre like, I, I will love you and only you."


    Jiang Zheughed, "Me too."


    Xu family:


    Xu Zhi Hong was angered, this foolish daughter of his was always siding outsiders.


    He drank another ss of wine with resentment, but didnt continue saying anything nasty.


    Jiang Zhe lowered his eyes, his gaze sharp, knowing in his heart that he had agreed to them.


    "Ugh-"


    Jiang Zhe covered his mouth, his face flushed, and his body smelled like alcohol.


    Although it was only in the afternoon, he was so drunk, the Xu family didnt send him back to Zhi Qing courtyard. Tidying up a room, they let him sleep in the house.


    Xu Qing was extremely distressed and whispered in resentment: "Dad and Brothers are too much. They saw that you were drunk, but still let you drink."


    However, thinking of her father''s silent acquiescence in the end, she could not stop the sweetness in her heart.


    How could Jiang Zhe be so good?


    The luckiest thing is that such a good man was now hers, Xu Qings.Happy.


    She couldn''t wait to jump three rounds on the spot, but she remembered that girls had to be reserved.


    She closed the door and shouted Jiang Zhes name a few times, but there was no response.


    Xu Qing was happy. She went closer forward, and even the thick smell of alcohol couldnt deter her. Gently, gently she kissed the corner of the youths lips.


    Then she retreated suddenly, covering her mouth, her eyebrows arched happily, looking like a thieving cat.


    System: "Qing Qing is so cute."


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    System: _


    Xu Qing stayed for a while before leaving.Jiang Zhe opened his eyes, looked at the empty room and quickly closed his eyes again to rest.


    At this moment, in the Xu familys master bedroom.


    Xu Qing leaned in close to her mother''s side to see the gift brought by Jiang Zhe.


    Mother Xu: "Wow, there is actually cloth. Looking at the size, it should be enough to make a set for you."


    Xu Qing took the cloth andpared it to her body for a while, looking beautiful, "This color also looks good."


    Mother Xu: "Yes, yes, it fits our Qing Qing the most."


    Xu Zhi Hong snorted heavily at the side.


    Mother Xu gave him a side look. "Choked? If your throat isntfortable, then go drink some water."


    Xu Zhi Hong coughed and became more honest.


    The remainder were allmon snacks, pastries and other specialties from other ces.


    Mother Xu suddenly eximed in shock: "Heavens, this is beef jerky."


    Xu Zhi Hong also came over, picked up one to taste, his face changing, stammering En.


    Mother Xu resisted the urge tough, Xu Qing grinned at her dad. "Dad, you see how sincere JiangZhe is.


    Xu Zhi Hongs face darkened, "He wants to snatch my baby girl, of course he has to fake a little."


    Xu Qing:


    Xu Qing: "Dad~~"


    Xu Zhi Hong snorted from his nose, Females are always looking towards the outside, this old saying is really correct.


    Xu Qing wasnt angry, it was good as long as her father agreed.


    In the evening, Jiang Zhe had dinner at the Xu family before returning to Zhi Qing courtyard.


    Xu family, Father Xu and Mother Xu were discussing over and over again.


    Mother Xu: "I think Jiang Zhe that child is not bad. He is very polite and he also treats our Qing Qing very well."


    Father Xu: "Wife has long hair, but is short-sighted."


    Mother Xu pinched him in anger. "Youre far-sighted, then what do you think about Jiang Zhe?"


    Father Xu: "Just, just like that."


    Mother Xu smiled in anger, "Like what?"


    Father Xus embarrassment turned into anger, and he snatched the quilt, "Are you sleeping? If youre not sleeping then Im going to sleep."


    Mother Xu pressed her lips together, and harrumphed.


    The next day, Xu Zhi Hong went to investigate Jiang Zhe. There was no way around it, his two sons were disappointing, still needing him this old man to do it himself.


    However, when he got the information, he frowned fiercely.


    He asked people to call Jiang Zhe over, going straight to the point, "Both your parents have passed away?"


    Jiang Zhes eyes drooped, his face expressionless, Yes.


    Xu Zhi Hong frowned: "When did it happen?"


    Jiang Zhe: "During the incident when I went to catch wild animals."


    Xu Zhi Hong: "When did you" When thewords came out, he reacted.


    Speaking suddenly became exceedingly difficult, and he did not know what to say for a while.


    After a long while, he finally said: "You should have brought it up with me."


    He was not an unreasonable person.


    Jiang Zhe: "I forgot in a moment of emotions."


    Xu Zhi Hong nodded.


    The two were silent and the atmosphere gradually became awkward.


    After a long time.


    Xu Zhi Hong: "When you get married with Qing Qing, you will teach in the primary school. We will look after you a little. You and Qing Qings days will not be too difficult."


    Jiang Zhe lifted his eyes and looked at him. Xu Zhi Hong was a little ufortable.


    Xu Zhi Hong: "What are you looking at, go home and prepare. After celebrating the New Year, marry Qing Qing."


    Jiang Zhe: "Alright."


    Jiang Zhe walked out of the gate and leisurely strolled along the narrow road.


    Thinking about Xu Qings previous reaction, he made another origami grasshopper.

    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (6)</strong>


    Xu Zhi Hong went home to discuss with his wife: "Weve just celebrated the New Year, and are very idle recently. Ill let our sons go out to work, and Ill sponsor some money to rebuild a small house near the primary school."


    Mother Xu didnt disapprove, "Its just that Im afraid that itll be difficult to tell our daughter-inws about it."


    Xu Zhi Hongs face sank, "I remember that we saved some dowry for Qing Qing."


    Mother Xu: "En, why?"


    Father Xu: "How about, when they marry, we dont give them the entire sum, instead converting the items into money, giving simr results."


    Mother Xu was not very willing.


    Father Xu: "A bowl of water has to be carried steadily, otherwise if theres trouble within this family, it wont be good for Qing Qing in the future either."


    Mother Xu eventually unwillingly agreed, "Then, alright."


    As Father Xu expected, when the daughter-inws of the family heard that they needed to fork out money and effort to build a house for Xu Qing, they almost turned the house upside down. Finally, Xu Zhi Hong suppressed them and exined his ns.


    The family was consoled a little.


    Xu Zhi Hong: "Jiang Zhe is now alone. Its not easy for him either. Qing Qing also really likes him. As a father, when they are facing difficulties, if I dont help, then who would?"


    Xu Shou Yi and his brothers faces were a bit red.


    "Dad!"


    Xu Zhi Hong waved his hands: "Enough, its settled. The house doesnt need to be very big, just enough for two people to live in. In the future, this Xu family still belongs to you two brothers."


    The two daughter-inws also had nothing to say.


    On the day of the wedding, Jiang Zhe wore a new tailored suit, a big red flower pinned on his chest. Under the congrattions of the educated youths, he left the house and went to the brides house to escort her.


    Jiang Zhes parents were both dead, thus the wedding was naturally prepared by the Xu family. While the others had smiles on their faces, no one knew what they truly thought in their hearts.


    It was also the first time for them hearing that marrying a woman also came with a house as dowry. Though it wasnt very big, it was still a house.


    Old Xu had really lost out.


    Regardless of what others thought, under Mother Xus reluctance, Xu Qing held feelings of anticipation and joy as she married the youth she loved.


    "Have you heard? The national examinations have resumed."


    This news seemingly grew wings, flying over the whole country in a short period of time.


    At the same time, all the educated youth who got the news went crazy.


    The national examinations had resumed!What did it mean?


    It meant that they could go back to the city!!


    How could this not make people excited and happy?


    Compared to the poor and barren viges with heavybour, it was clear that the seemingly rxed life in the city was what they wanted.


    Moreover, their loved ones were in the city.


    And what does the vige have? Only their unbearable past, and their uncouth and uneducated partners.


    Those educated youths who quickly ran away, abandoning their spouses and children were simply too many.


    In the Xu family, every day passed by bleakly.


    Oh, other than Xu Shou Ren and his wife.These two people had long been unhappy with Jiang Zhe.


    Xu Shou Ren was hoping that Jiang Zhe would run, so that when he caught him, he would beat him till he cried.His wife purely didnt want to see Xu Qing enjoying her life.


    At the beginning, she felt that the Xu family had paid with money and effort, yet Xu Qings heart only sided with Jiang Zhe.


    The elders on the team all viewed this couple negatively, but what were the results?


    Jiang Zhe was simply too sweet.


    He taught during the day and went home at night. Looking at him, his temperament and heart seemed cold. In fact, he was only externally cold, and truthfully had a warm heart inside. From what she heard from her mother-inw, Jiang Zhe even regrly cooked meals at home.


    Xu Shou Rens wife didn''t believe it at first, who couldnt say things to maintain their face?


    However, it wasnt till Jiang Zhe showed off his skills in the Xu family did she put down her doubts.


    That level of handicraft couldnt be done by someone who didnt often enter the kitchen.


    But this wasnt the issue. At most, he could be a house-husband.


    But she watched as Xu Qing managed her household, showing off what her man bought for her again every time she returned to her maternal home, how good he was to her, where he brought her out to y again, Xu Shou Rens wife couldnt help but be jealous.


    They were all men, how could the gap be so big?


    It was because Jiang Zhe was weak, therefore he naturally treated his wife better. She thought darkly.


    Now that the national examinations had resumed, Jiang Zhe would definitely not be interested in Xu Qing any more.


    Xu Qing would soon be abandoned, and even the viger-born son that she bore would be simrly abandoned.


    She heard that her father-inw and mother-inw lost sleep from worrying over this matter, secretly happy in her heart.


    They were all women, why should Xu Qing live better than her?


    As for after Xu Qing had been abandoned, where she would stay, didnt she still have the house by the primary school? That was still her dowry.


    A daughter that married out was like spilt water, unable to return in the future.


    The resumption of the national examinations made the Xu parents worried, and also made Xu Qing worried.


    But to let her open her mouth and ask Jiang Zhe to stay behind, not to go for the national examinations, she couldnt do it.


    After marrying Jiang Zhe and interacting day and night, she finally knew how amazing and good her man was.


    Such a man belongs to broader skies, and not following her to stay in such a backward vige.


    Xu Qing thought a lot and analysed the pros and cons. She felt that she should decisively let him go.


    But after returning home, seeing her sweet son sleeping in the cradle, all her willpower crumbled to dust.


    Not long after she got married, she was pregnant.During that time, she vomited violently, and Jiang Zhe came down every day during his free time to spin his magic, making delicious meals for her, making her happy.


    How wonderful the past was, how cruel the reality was.


    She fell helplessly, sitting on the ground, crying silently.


    Her son in the cradle seemed to feel his mothers sad mood and started wailing without warning.


    Jiang Zhe wasing home from outside and heard the sound from far away.


    His heart was anxious, and he quickly ran home without a second to lose.


    Jiang Zhe: "Qing Qing, Qing Qing"


    Xu Qing hugged her son, one adult and one child crying.


    Jiang Zhes mind nked.


    He put down the things in his hand, baffled: "What''s wrong? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?"


    He touched his wife''s forehead and touched his son, they didnt have a fever ah!


    Towards Jiang Zhes concerned and worried gaze, the walls in Xu Qings heart copsedpletely. She hugged her son, crying heartbrokenly, Jiang Zhe, dont let us abandon us, Jiang Zhe


    Xu Qing: "I know that Im not gentle enough, not considerate enough and not understanding enough. But I will definitely be good in the future. The things you taught me, Im also seriously learning it, I will work very hard. So Jiang Zhe, you, don''t leave us behind, alright"


    Towards the end, Xu Qings voice got smaller and smaller.She hugged her son and looked down in despair, seemingly foreseeing the tragic future.


    Jiang Zhes heart was both sour and bitter. He couldn''t help but stroke his wife''s ck hair, "What are you thinking about, you are both my most beloved people. How could I abandon you two?"


    Xu Qing suddenly looked up, unable to hide the hope shining in her eyes.Jiang Zhes heart and head softened, hesitantly embracing her, Dont worry, I wont leave you two behind, dont be afraid.


    Jiang Zhe: Look, youve scared Dou Dou.


    Xu Qing looked down. Her son had stopped crying, his pair of big eyes opened widely, looking curiously at his father and mother, not knowing what game the two were ying.


    Xu Qing:


    Jiang Zhe wiped her tears, "Alright, bring Dou Dou to bed to rest for a while. I will go cook."


    Xu Qing didnt want to, "Youre so tired every day, go rest instead. I will cook."


    Jiang Zhe saw the hidden unease under her tough exterior and sighed in his heart. So be it, it was good for her to do something to distract her.


    He nodded. Xu Qing handed him his son happily, turning around and entering the kitchen.


    As the days passed, Jiang Zhe continued as normal.This undoubtedly made the Xu parents relieved.


    On the other hand, Xu Qing was behaving unusually, bing more and more anxious every day.


    On this day, she once again stopped Xu Zhi Hong on the road, quietly asking, "Dad, did Jiang Zhes admission noticee down?"


    Xu Zhi Hongforted his daughter. "Dont worry, its shoulde within these few days."


    Xu Qing nodded in understanding, but her heart was still anxious.


    This year was the first year the national examinations resumed. There were still many rules being formed, and the results were not announced publicly. The final result would only be shown by the admission notice.


    Therefore, the possibility of tampering was very high.


    Jiang Zhe was so good and outstanding, if he was ruined by such under-handed means, she would be angered to death.


    In Xu Qing''s uneasiness, three days passed in the blink of an eye. She ran to find Xu Zhi Hong once again.


    Jiang Zhe waspletely speechless. No wonder the old man was bing more and more dissatisfied with him.


    However, his wifes heart was aligned to his, doing things in consideration of him. Jiang Zhes heart couldnt lie, he was touched and he liked it.


    Therefore, when he asionally met the old mans unfriendly gaze, he would always smile it off.


    Just that, this time, why had Qing Qing been gone for such a long time and still hadnt returned?


    He put down his book, nimbly picking up his son and walked out of the door, carrying his son to the Xu family.


    Before he even walked close, he heardughter sounding from the Xu family.


    What good event happened?


    He knocked on the Xu familys door. Xu Ai Guo came to open the door for him. When he saw him, his eyes shone like stars. "Uncle, you are so amazing, you were admitted to Sha Hua University. In the future, you can study in the bustling capital city." Going to school."


    Jiang Zhe froze for a moment, thenughed.


    After all, this result was long within his expectations.He had confidence in himself.In addition, there was a system behind him. If someone wanted to touch his grades, it depended on whether their skills were good enough.

    TN: So I saw thement where someone said they hated Yao Yao, and I raise you this: <em>Xu Shou Ren''s wife</em>. I got pretty angry with her during this chapter because of how she spitefully vents her unhappiness of her marriage onto Xu Qing. But, meh, she''s an unnamed character so she can''t be too important.

    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (7)</strong>


    The news that Jiang Zhe was admitted to a good university spread quickly. Within a short period of time, there were some people on the team who were happy, and some who were worried.


    Most of them still praised Xu Zhi Hong''s foresight, to have such an outstanding son-inw.


    Xu Shou Ren and his wife had a smile on their faces, but were cursing in their hearts.


    But at least she could still smile. There were some who couldnt even pretend to smile.


    When Yao Yao heard the news, tears flowed without warning.If there was no Xu Qing, she was the one who should be a heaven-made pair with Jiang Zhe, the person to be envied now should also be her.


    Unfortunately, there was no if.


    She covered her mouth, shedding tears as she ran back to her own house, crying wuwuwu. As usual, the door was mmed as loud as thunder, showing the owners terrible mood.


    Only this time, no one in Zhi Qing courtyard went up tofort her. Even Lin He couldnt stand her regr crying.


    As long as Jiang Zhe and Xu Qings interactions and love entered Yao Yaos ears, she would be heartbroken, she would be sad, she would cry.


    After a long time, Lin He was also numb.


    When it was time to be lively, the team was lively.


    That was a university student. Its said that studying university was currently free, that the government would subsidise it.


    The university that Jiang Zhe got into was also in the capital city. Not only did the Sha Hua University have subsidies, they would also receive an allowance of twenty or thirty a month, much better than eking out a living from the ground.


    After he graduated, the state would also assign him a job, maybe even a leadership position.


    Old Xus family sure is lucky.


    However, there were also some who were sour, saying that Jiang Zhe would no longer be interested in Xu Qing in the future.


    What?His son? Wait for Jiang Zhe to have money, women would queue up to birth him sons.


    However, when Jiang Zhe left home with his wife and children, everyone shut up.


    Those who had secretly hoped that Xu Qing would be unlucky previously, now had their faces pped swollen.


    The Xu parents smiled brightly. The happiest one was Xu Qing.


    Before they set off, Father Xu pulled Jiang Zhe to the side, expressionlessly passing him a cloth bag hesitantly, Its not easy for the two of you to get by outside. If you can use it, then just use it. Dont mistreat yourself. Dou Dou is still small, if he eats poorly, it could affect his whole life.


    Jiang Zhe nodded continuously, "I understand, Dad."


    Father Xu desperately kept a straight face, but the smile in his eyes still revealed his true feelings.


    Following Jiang Zhe and Xu Qing''s family of three was also the old couple living in the cowshed.


    Jiang Zhe had previously guessed that the other party was not simple, but he didnt expect old Grandfather Ling to be a university professor.Coincidentally, it was also Jiang Zhes university.


    Now that the situation had stabilised, they could also return.


    Because their destinations were the same, they apanied Jiang Zhe. Xu Qing naturally agreed immediately.


    Those who had insulted the old couple had long kept their distance, lest they remember and retaliate against them.


    The green train ran noisily. Jiang Zhe had brought along two elderlies and one child, but still needed to split his attention to look after Xu Qing. Even if he was considerate, it was still a little tiring.


    Especially since the trains of this era were not tolerable to the average person, with its extremely sour smell filling the ce.


    How could Dou Dou, a small one-year-old child, stand it? Shortly after getting on the train, he started crying.


    Xu Qing coaxed him for a long time, but didnt see any improvement. The surrounding people continuallyined, causing her to be close to tears as well.


    Jiang Zhe only went to get some hot water and buy things, but when he came back, he saw one adult and one child, both teary.


    Fortunately, the Ling old couple was around to help protect them a little, but the situation still wasnt any better.


    Grandfather Ling had a bad back. His leg was alsome and he couldnt stand for too long.


    However, now that the national examinations has resumed, many educated youths were returning to the city. They had no power or authority, how could they buy seats? The only seated ticket was also bought with the help of the system, the others were all standing tickets.


    Jiang Zhe handed a small foldable stool to the two old people, also handing over the hot water and some food. With his hands empty, he could finally hold his child.


    He, an adult man, stood in front of Xu Qing, momentarily giving her some space to breathe.


    She looked at the man who was coaxing their child, and her anxious heart was alsoforted.


    Jiang Zhe unbuttoned his coat, and hugged Dou Dou within, hiding him away from peoples eyes. He said to the system: Do me a favour.


    The system hummed.But Dou Dou was too cute, with his little hands and feet, whimpering ufortably. The system couldnt harden its heart.


    Thus, it secretly set up a transparent cover over Dou Dous head, recing the dirty smell of the train with fresh air.


    Dou Dou was finallyfortable, and stopped fussing.


    The onlookers looked on in surprise.An old aunt sitting next to Xu Qing poked her and whispered enviously: "Your man is really good."


    Seeing his skilled movements in coaxing the child, she could tell that he had often done it at home.


    Xu Qings mouth curled on its own, and she lightly gave an En sound.


    Then a mint was offered in front of her.


    Jiang Zhe: "The mints are cooling, youll feel better after eating it."


    Xu Qing: "What about you?"


    Jiang Zhe pushed it closer, "I still have some, quickly eat."


    The moment he said that, he gave the old Ling couple a mint each, before eating one himself.


    It was not that he was stingy, but this era was just like that. If he took out more, others would take a second look.


    Sure enough, others just looked at them with envy, but had no other thoughts.


    After a while, a woman holding a child around five or six years old came over, "Friend, do you still have a mint? My child really cant stand it anymore. Your kindness will be rewarded, give me one."


    She said to give, but not to buy.


    Even if someone handed money over to buy it, Jiang Zhe wouldnt sell. To ask for it so straightforwardly, even more so, he wouldnt give any.


    Because once he started it, there would be no end to it.


    So, he steeled his face, saying: "Sorry, Im all out."


    The woman was still pleading, "Friend, I beg you, you also have a child. My child is so pitiful. Give me one. Just one."


    Jiang Zhe''s face didnt change: "I don''t any."


    There were some in the crowd who couldnt turn a blind eye to the situation, "Friend, just help a little. After all, you both have children."


    "Yeah, just give her one."


    ""


    Xu Qing was a little nervous, clutching onto Jiang Zhe''s sleeves.


    Jiang Zhe looked up and raised his voice: "Everyone, swearing to the heavens above, I really dont have anymore. If I do, I would definitely have given it. As a malerade, would I really care about a piece of candy?"


    Others thoughtabout it and found that he was right.Turning around to persuade the woman, "Since that friends doesnt have anymore, then forget about it."


    Thewoman forced a smile, leaving timidly with her child.Watching her, it was a bit pitiful.


    Jiang Zhe looked on coldly.


    However, this woman also reminded Jiang Zhe. He became more cautious, other than this eras normal everyday items, he didnt expose anything else.


    The sun rose and fell, after quite a few days, they finally arrived in the capital.


    The capital train station was bustling with people. Jiang Zhe held his son in his arms, carrying a bag on his back, supporting the old grandpa Ling with his left hand, Xu Qing with his right hand, and Xu Qing supported the old grandma Ling, so as not to get lost.


    Jiang Zhe took them to an open space, and they breathed out a long breath.


    Grandmother Ling: "I have finally returned alive. This kind of experience, this old grandma, I, dont want to experience a second time in my life."


    Whether she was referring to some unspeakable experience, or sitting on the green train, everyone had their own answer.


    Jiang Zhe asked Grandfather Ling: "What are your ns going forward?"


    Old man Ling shook his head. "I don''t know."


    Their original family property had been confiscated, and those that werent had beenpletely taken away by their unfilial son. Now, their bodies were full of illnesses, but they didnt even have a ce to stay.


    It was also a cold night.


    Jiang Zhe thought for a moment and said, "If the two of you don''t mind, stay with us for a while. It wont be toote to move back when you have a ce to live."


    "This" The two old people looked at each other, "It would trouble you too much."


    Jiang Zhe: "Its nothing." He knew they had agreed.


    Jiang Zhe: "Let''s go, well first find a guest house to live in."


    They lived there for ten days. On the surface, Xu Qing had no change in expression. However her heart was more anxious than anyone.


    She pulled Jiang Zhe, secretly saying: "We don''t have much money."


    Jiang Zhe stroked her face, smiling: "Qing Qing, Im sorry. Previously, due to some reasons, I didnt tell you. Actually, my family is quite rich."


    Xu Qing: "Ha?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Lets go, were going home today."


    Xu Qing was confused. After an hour, Xu Qing and Ling couple stared at the courtyard surrounded by buildings on all four sides in front of them, their mouths open so wide a chicken egg could be stuffed down.


    Xu Qing stuttered. "You, you just said, this, this is our home?"


    Jiang Zhe nodded. "I bought it, naturally in the future it will be our home in the capital."


    He took the lead. Carrying his child, he picked up the luggage, pushed open the door and entered.


    There was a locust tree in the middle of the courtyard. When the wind blew, a light fragrance filled the courtyard.Next to it was a well, making it convenient to draw water in the future.


    Jiang Zhes gentle voice slowly sounded: The air in this yard is rather good, and its also spacious. After Dou Dou grows up, he can y in the courtyard. When it gets hot, you can sit in the shade of the tree to cool down.


    Jiang Zhe smiled towards Xu Qing: "Qing Qing, do you like it?"


    Xu Qings tears flowed as she nodded strongly. "Like, I like it very much."


    TN: I changed my mind, Yao Yao is hateful too. She''s crying over everything now, but in the original plot line when the original soul was being bullied, she was the primary cause but she just turned a cold shoulder to him, denying any rtionship.


    By the way, if you forgot, the money that Jiang Zhe is talking about came from his stash in the system! It''s not from his actual family in this scenario. Sneaky hubby using it to surprise his wife this chapter!

    <strong>The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (8)</strong>


    With a ce to return, Jiang Zhe dealt with the issues of starting school.


    At the beginning, his heart softened for a moment and he invited the old Ling couple to stay. This decision proved to be right.


    After marriage, though Jiang Zhe told Xu Qing about the exciting outside world, but seeing was better than hearing. Imaginations were ultimately imagined, and she was shocked when she saw it with her own two eyes. She had her one-year-old son, and Jiang Zhe was starting school, often not being home during the day.


    Xu Qing was inevitably somewhat helpless. At this time, Grandmother Ling helped a lot.


    She and Grandfather Ling were both natives of Beijing. Now that theyve returned to their homnd, although there were some changes, but they were still more familiar than Xu Qing, someone from outside.


    During the day, Jiang Zhe and Grandfather Ling went out together, and Grandmother Ling stayed at home helping Xu Qing to take care of Dou Dou.


    After a long time, Xu Qing gradually got used to it. In her spare time, she would even knit a wool sweater for Jiang Zhe.


    She heard that the winter in Beijing could be cold, and dressing lightly could even freeze people to death.


    Grandmother Ling was in the main hall. She moved a small foldable stool over, gently rocking the cradle.


    Dou Dou clenched his two small fists on his chest, his clear and bright pair of big eyes opened wide, staring at Grandmother Ling, giggling.


    Grandmother Lings heart was melted by his obedient and clever little look, Youre really a good little one, really making one dote on you.


    Dou Dou gave a silly smile.


    Grandmother Ling took out a soft handkerchief, wiping the saliva drooling from the corner of his mouth, before extending her index finger to lightly touch his little face.


    Dou Dou thought that Grandmother Ling was ying with him, and grabbed her finger. His body trembled in excitement, and hisughter was brighter than before.He giggled tedly.


    Grandmother Lings old broken heart also became warm with hisughter.


    "Dou Dou, you really are Grandmothers treasure. In the future, when Grandmother cant see you any more, how will I live?"


    Xu Qing, who was knitting a sweater by the side, paused, and then continued to knit as if nothing had happened.


    When Jiang Zhe came back at night, had dinner and the young couple were lying in bed, she finally brought up what happened during the day.


    Xu Qing sighed: "Grandmother Ling and Grandfather Ling are good people and have helped us a lot. Its a pity that they had fallen into such a situation, Ive always felt bad for them in my heart."


    Jiang Zhe held her and asked: "Then what do you want to do?"


    Xu Qing: "I don''t know. I want to help them, but I don''t know how to."


    Jiang Zhe pondered for moment and said: "I know what to do. Itste, lets sleep."


    He kissed Xu Qings forehead, giving her a good night kiss and hugged her to sleep.


    Neither of them brought up that nights discussion afterwards. The two of them werent together during the day time, both busy with their own things. In the blink of an eye, they had been here for four months already.


    The weather became extraordinarily cold. He wore the sweater that Xu Qing knitted for him. Flipping to the hem at the back of the sweater, there really was a grey rabbit there.


    [Jiang Zhe, do you see this grey bunny?It really looks like you, that cold aloof expression that pushes people thousands of miles away, and the cold air that surrounds you.You are a bunny, is such an aloof temperament really good?Am I right, grey bunny?]


    He touched the rabbit eyes, looked down andughed.


    He put the sweater on, a warm feeling surrounding him, going straight into his heart.


    Then, he walked normally through the university doors. These few months were sufficient for him to be ustomed to the intense and enthusiastic learning atmosphere of university students.


    After finishing the morning sses, he went to the cafeteria to eat lunch. This eras university cafeteria had a lot of conscience. The food was cheap and of good quality, the in buns were fragrant and fresh, and they were big too.But Jiang Zhe didnt like to eat it, he still preferred to eat rice with dishes.


    He didnt have any requirements previously, but now that he had money to use openly, why would he ill-treat himself??


    In the afternoon, he had more sses. Going home at night, when he passed by the free market, he would buy some food.


    Jiang Zhe had be honest with Xu Qing, taking out his wealth. Xu Qing was surprised, but more so she was happy.


    With money, Xu Qing had no worries and was willing to buy food.


    Her heart panged at the thought of Jiang Zhes effort in studying, her son was still small, Grandmother and Grandfather Ling also used to suffer so much in the past, they all needed to be properly nourished.


    Therefore, the house would often have stewed chicken and bone broth. Jiang Zhe would buy back some vegetables and add it to the broth, making it less oily.


    However, when passing the free market today, Jiang Zhe saw some fish. He recalled two days ago, Xu Qing had mentioned that fish soup was nourishing. With this in mind, he bought it.


    Grandmother Ling opened the door for him, saw that he came home with his hands full again, and couldnt help but nag, "You are still young, and you should save more if you have the money."


    Jiang Zhe knew that she was saying out of goodwill, thus he glossed over it with a smile.


    After dinner, taking advantage of everyone still being at the table, he asked the old Ling couple: "How do you feel about this ce?"


    Grandmother Ling was not clear of his intentions, and replied honestly: "It''s very good."


    Jiang Zhe: "Are you happy living here?"


    Grandmother Ling smiled, "Living and eating well every day, along with Dou Dou that adorable bundle of joy, of course Im happy.


    Grandfather Ling nodded in agreement.


    Jiang Zhe was assured: "Since you like it here, if you don''t disdain it, stay on in the future."


    Old Ling couple: "This"


    Jiang Zhe continued: "In fact, this is also out of my own selfish wishes. When Qing Qing first arrived here, she wasnt used to the life and area. Its better with Grandmothers care and guidance. In the future, when Dou Dou is all grown up, Professor Ling can also teach him. Its difficult to find a teacher like Professor Ling."


    Grandfather Lings eyes were warm. He knew that Jiang Zhe was just giving them face. Not to mention that Dou Dou was still small, Jiang Zhe himself was very talented. In the future, when Dou Dou was grown up, he could simrly teach him.


    The old Ling couple looked at each other and saw the amusement in each other''s eyes.


    Grandfather Ling nodded slightly under Xu Qings anticipatory eyes.


    The days after passed by normally, but it could be visibly seen that the old Ling couple loved Dou Dou even more. In the past, they may have regarded themselves as outsiders and didnt dare to expect more. Now, they were even more enthusiastic than Jiang Zhe and Xu Qing this pair of young parents.


    Although Jiang Zhe didnt say it clearly that night, but who would be willing to take responsibility of two elderlies lives without any reason? Even if they didnt have any blood rtions, he could be considered a godson.


    The three generations got along in unexpected harmony. If outsiders saw, they would also think that they were three generations of grandparents and grandchildren of the same family.


    The beautiful days passed by in a sh, and in the blink of an eye, Dou Dou was three years old.


    Xu Qing hadnt seen her parents for more than a year.


    Raising a child, understanding a parents feelings. This sentence was very suitable for Xu Qing.


    Despite the New Year approaching, her brows were locked together in deep thought.


    Jiang Zhe hugged her from behind her and whispered: "I sent a letter to Dad and Mom. They should be able toe on the fifteenth."


    Xu Qing was delighted, turning around in his embrace and looked up at her husbands face, Really?


    Jiang Zhe replied nasally En.


    Xu Qing was ted. Looking around and seeing no one, she kissed her husbands chin.


    Jiang Zhe''s eyes were deep. Not waiting for her to retreat, he bowed his head slightly, searching for the right ce for a kiss.


    Wa!!!"


    At the end of the kiss, the small audience in the corner gave a sigh.


    The two looked over. Dou Dous mouth was in an o-shape, his hands covering his eyes.


    Of course, it would be better if his fingers were not so far apart.


    Xu Qing''s face exploded in redness. Pushing Jiang Zhe aside, she ran away. Jiang Zhes face turned ck, wanting to hit his naughty child.


    Dou Dou was very sly, running and sticking to Grandmother Lings room. Jiang Zhe was too embarrassed to go in to get him.


    Jiang Zhe shook his head and walked back. "Don''t know who this naughty little boy took after? He wasn''t so naughty when he was young."


    System: "Are you sure?"


    Jiang Zhe recalled the horrifying days dominated by his childs wailing, and turned silent.


    Just as Dou Dou was jumping around, the Xu parents arrived.


    Dou Dou was very excited. Wearing new clothes, he constantlybed his hair, "Mom, do I look good like this? Will Grandma and Grandpa like me when they see me?"


    Xu Qing smiled widely and rubbed his head, saying confidently: "Dou Dou looks very good. When Grandma and Grandpa see Dou Dou, they will surely like you."


    Dou Dou immediately smiled openly in happiness.


    This was indeed the case. The Xu parents had not seen their grandson in over a year. When they saw him again, they cherished him to no end, greatly satisfying Dou Dous vanity, making him extremely proud.


    Jiang Zhe sometimes really couldnt understand. He and Xu Qing were both low-key and introverted people, how was this child so high-profile and outgoing, liking to stand out.


    "Jiang Zhe,e over and help me take some pictures. Remember to take it more beautifully."


    The olddy in her seventies was still dressed up beautifully, holding a new mobile phone bought by her grandson. No matter how she took it, she wasnt satisfied with the results and could only call for her old husband.


    Jiang Zhe gave in to his fate and walked over to take a picture of her.


    He finally understood now why Dou Dou loved to show off, it was all hereditary.


    TN: End of this arc! I really loved the ending, giving it a light and sweet touch ? I read a review on NU recently. Thementor mentioned that she didn''t know what Jiang Zhe''s task was or how it waspleted, but I''m just specting that he has to change the original soul''s fate (remember that in the original plot line, that is usually briefly mentioned, most of them faced tragedies in their ending) or essentially live a happy life. In this case, the happy life is usually with the female lead.


    On a side note, with thepletion of this arc, <strong>there won''t be any chapters tomorrow</strong>. The next arc has 9 chapters, and will bepleted by next week.

    Chapter 29


    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (1)</strong><strong></strong>


    In the middle of the night, a bolt of lightning shed across the sky, bringing a moment of light to the pitch ck sky.


    In front of the full length window, a mans face was reflected brightly momentarily, before falling back to darkness.


    Jiang Zhe opened his eyes, a trace of visible conflict shing through his eyes.


    The original soul was a tyrant CEO, rich and powerful, knowledgeable and frivolous, having many female friends.


    He could forget about this, since there were many frivolous tyrant CEOs around, not just him. However, he just had to include his feelings, which hurt his pockets greatly.


    In the end, for a woman, he threw aside his green plum*, embezzled public funds, and finally ended up in jail.


    Jiang Zhe''s wiped his face powerlessly. He knew that love made people blind and caused their intelligence to drop, but he didnt know that this ything called love could have such terrible consequences.


    He made a quick decision on the spot, taking out his mobile phone, and calling the secretary.


    Jiang Zhe: "In the future, you dont have to tell me anything about Qiao Shan.


    On the other end, his secretary was terrified: "CEO Jiang, did something happen?"


    Jiang Zhes face didnt change, "Nothing, I just dont like women who two-time.


    The secretary was enlightened. It turned out that CEO Jiang had been cheated on.


    He did not say much out of consideration, "I understand, CEO Jiang."


    Jiang Zhe hung up the phone, turned and went back to sleep.


    The next day, Jiang Zhes biological clock woke up him up on time.The maid downstairs prepared breakfast and knocked on his door. "Sir, Sir?"


    Jiang Zhe changed into a suit and opened the door. "You may go."


    The original soul was meticulous in showing off his wealth. When he first bought this vi, he had considered thend area and style. He could asionally throw a party.


    Of course, with a bigger ce, the number of helpers also increased a little.


    Jiang Zhes head began to ache again. He didnt really like strangers invading his private territory.


    The breakfast was prepared sumptuously, and Jiang Zhe ate satisfyingly.


    After the breakfast, he took the car key and drove to thepany.


    Although the vi had already set the foundation for Jiang Zhe, but when he saw his 360-degree panoramic full-length windowed office, his mouth still twitched.


    The system suddenly popped up and gave a long sigh: "As an overbearing CEO, standing at the highest point of the city every day, overlooking the mortal beings, is his life."


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe opened theputer, looked at it for a while before lying back on the chair, frowning.


    Jiang Zhe: "I am not familiar with this business."


    The system scorned: "You have [his] memory, what are you afraid of. Just integrate with it more."


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe selected a few useful people ording to his past memories, assigning most of the work on hand.


    A small portion was extremely important, and still needed him to take care of it personally.


    Although the system put it lightly, but if he was to really integrate the memories, there were still some difficulties in converting another persons memory into his own knowledge that he could freely use.


    Throughout the day, his work efficiency was so low, it was shocking.


    At least this was still somewhat based on Jiang Zhes original world, if not he would really have troubles.


    The sun slowly set in the west.


    He looked at the time and knocked off work with the others.


    Suddenly his handphone vibrated. He took it out and saw, Qin Qing.


    That cute and pretty little green plum.


    He pressed the answer button, and a lovely and charming voice belonging uniquely to women sounded over the phone.


    "Jiang Zhe, are you free today?"


    Jiang Zhe kept walking, listening to the question from the phone, and gently went "En".


    Qin Qing was clearly very happy, her tone became more cheerful, "Then can I find you at night?"


    Jiang Zhe listened to the voice and could imagine a littledy pressing her lips together, staring at him in expectation.


    It was difficult for him to refuse, "Alright."


    Qin Qing: "Then its settled. Ille over right away."


    After that, a dull sound of something heavy dropping was transmitted over the phone.


    Jiang Zhe didn''t care too much about it. He hung up the phone, pressed the elevator button, went to the underground parking lot, and drove home.


    Halfway, his phone vibrated again.


    He took it and saw it, Qiao Shan.


    He ignored it.The phone vibrated nonstop.Jiang Zhe was extremely annoyed.


    Passing a corner, he stopped the car and picked up the phone.


    "Jiang Zhe, what do you mean?"


    Jiang Zhes eyes lowered, calmly saying: "My meaning is what you understood?"


    "Are you sick? When did I provoke you, for you to break up so decisively?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Qiao Shan."


    "Ah?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I am not a fool."


    "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    Jiang Zhe: "To say rify a bit more. Since Miss Qiao Shan climbed up the Shang Shi Groups Young Master, this tall branch, then this Jiang will consciously withdraw, benefiting everyone."


    "Jiang, Jiang Zhe, it isnt like that, listen to my exnation."


    Jiang Zhe hand was a little itchy, so he lit a cigarette, smoking a mouth before ying with it in his hands.


    Qiao Shan waited, but didnt receive a reply, bing worried. "Hello, Jiang Zhe, are you there? Hello, hello, Jiang Zhe."


    Jiang Zhe: "Im listening, go ahead and exin."


    Qiao Shan was immediately tongue-tied.


    At this time, wasnt he going to ask her who she ultimately loved? Exin, what exin!


    Jiang Zhe quietly waited, and tapped away the ashes on his cigarette, saying: "Miss Qiao Shan, if you still don''t want to exin, I think there is nothing more to say."


    Qiao Shan''s hurried words were incoherent: "Jiang Zhe, I, with that Brother Young Master. In fact, in fact its just a performance only."


    Jiang Zheughed lowly, "Miss Qiao, whether your rtionship is fake or real, it all has nothing to do with me. We had better not meet again in the future."


    Finished, Jiang Zhe hung up the phone, pulled up the cklist and entered her name in one breath.


    On the other side, in a refined apartment, a woman with a delicate makeup said hello into the phone several times, making sure that the other party had really hung up, before throwing her phone in anger.


    "What the hell is going on? I am clearly the protagonist, am I not?"


    Qiao Shan couldnt understand.


    At the same time, the system said to its host: "An abnormality was detected."


    Jiang Zhe: "?"


    System: "That Qiao Shan has a high probability of being an outsider."


    Jiang Zhe: "What do you mean?"


    System: "It''s almost the same as your situation. Anyway, she isnt the original soul."


    Jiang Zhe''s eyes shed. He extinguished the cigarette butt and drove home.


    When he got home at night, there was an unexpected woman at home.


    The woman looked about twenty, a head of beautiful short hair, wearing a white dress, fresh and lovely.


    Jiang Zhe changed into his slippers and walked over. "What do you want to drink?"


    Qin Qing had actually just drunk a ss of water, but it was rare for Jiang Zhe to ask her, so she thought about it again: "Fruit juice."


    Jiang Zhe turned and went to fetch it for her.


    Qin Qing was shocked from this show of affection. When she saw the man personally handing the juice to her, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.


    Jiang Zhe: "What''s wrong?"


    Qin Qing forced a smile: "No, nothing."


    She held the cup up and took a sip. The cold, refreshing sweet and sour juice invaded her mouth. Her eyes arched, "Its good."


    Jiang Zhe watched her quietly.Qin Qing was a little ufortable under his gaze. She closed her legs and stroked her hair. "Is there something on my face?"


    Jiang Zhe: "No."


    Qin Qing: "Then why are you looking at me like that, making me embarrassed."


    Jiang Zhe calmly retracted his sight, but because Qin Qing had closed her legs before, her skirt had moved, revealing a bruise on her leg.


    Jiang Zhe got up and took a medical kit under Qin Qings baffled eyes.


    Qin Qing: "Are you injured?"


    She looked a little anxious, wanting toe over to see Jiang Zhe''s situation but also seemingly slightly afraid of him.


    Jiang Zhe held on to her shoulder and pressed her back to the sofa, then lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a bruised knee. "Im not hurt, but you are."


    Qin Qing was embarrassed. "I didn''t feel it previously."


    "Ill do it myself, tsss, lighter, it hurts."


    Jiang Zhe''s hand paused, then softened his movements, and even blew on it.


    Qin Qing was moved to tears.


    Jiang Zhe: "Did you fall during our phone call, causing this injury?"


    Qin Qing:The touched feelings disappeared, leaving only deep shock.


    She stuttered. "You, how did you know?"


    Unless Did he install cameras in her house?


    Meeting the womans suspicious gaze, Jiang Zhes mouth twitched.


    Jiang Zhe: "I just remembered that when I was on the phone with you, there was a sudden sounding from your side, like something heavy fell. Your injury is clearly fresh, I randomly guessed and you confessed to it yourself."


    Qin Qing :


    *Green plum  Apparently, boys would pick green plums to give to girls. They would thus grow up together to have a close and trusting rtionship with each other. It basically refers to his rtionship with the female lead aka childhood sweethearts, or someone he''s been in a rtionship for a long time.


    TN: Im happy! Finally found the word to describe ? aka twitched! Ive been using pursed, but it really bothered me that I couldnt find the proper word for it. Im not going to go back and change the previous chapters, though. I guess it works simrly, if not I tried to express the feeling in different words.

    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (2)</strong>


    Qin Qing: So she sold herself herself? QAQ


    Thegirl hung her head, depressed, looking quite pitiful.


    Jiang Zhe couldnt help butugh, and asked her tentatively: "Where do you want to go to y tonight?"


    Qin Qing: "???"


    The woman''s eyes widened, her face nk, looking very silly, very cute.


    Jiang Zhe almost couldn''t resist teasing her, stroking her face: "Seeing how Qin Qing has suffered such a huge wrong, youll decide where to go tonight aspensation."


    Qin Qing: "Ah!!!"


    She didnt expect to have such an unexpected joy, wanting to jump in happiness.


    Jiang Zhe held her down in time. "Are you a kangaroo? Wanting to jump all the time."


    Qin Qing giggled and didn''t talk.


    She carefully leaned into Jiang Zhe. Seeing that the other party didnt reject her, she boldly pulled on his hand.


    Qin Qing: Youll really listen to everything I say about where to go tonight?"


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    Getting a positive answer, Qin Qing suddenly became happy, a huge smile blooming on her face.


    Qin Qing: "Let''s go to the amusement park tonight." Fearing Jiang Zhe would regret it, she quickly said: "You just promised me, you cant back out of it now."


    Jiang Zhe held her hands, lowly saying: "I wont back out of it. However, we should fill our stomachs before going out to y."


    Qin Qing nodded like a woodpecker.


    At night, the lights swayed and the ck Mercedes Maybach drove by.


    Jiang Zhe looked forward, driving the car seriously. Qin Qing sat next to him, sneaking peeks at him from the corner of her eyes.


    In the narrow space, the faint scent of cologne lingered around her nose. She secretly sniffed it, her every cell trembling in excitement..


    Qin Qing: "Jiang, Jiang Zhe ah"


    Jiang Zhe continued looking at the road, replying: "En?"


    Qin Qing didnt know what to say, finding a random topic to talk about: "Which amusement park are we going to?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Hai Tian, the scenery there is beautiful."


    Qin Qings lips pressed together in secret happiness.Nodding, she smiled: "Oh."


    The car was quiet again.


    After a while, Qin Qing said again: "Jiang Zhe?"


    Jiang Zhe: "?"


    Qin Qing: "I, Im a little bit thirsty."


    Jiang Zhe was helpless, handing over a bottle of water, and said thoughtfully: "Theres still twenty minutes to our destination. You can take a nap for a while, so that youll have the energy when we reach the amusement park."


    Qin Qing thought about it, and found it reasonable. Drinking two mouthfuls of the mineral water, her body tilted and she leaned the chair back and rested.


    Twenty minutes passed by in a sh. When Jiang Zhe stopped the car, Qin Qing woke up.


    Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows and teased her: "You woke up at a really good time."


    Qin Qing slightly widened her eyes, looking confused.


    Jiang Zhe: Wow, shes really blur from sleeping.


    He pulled her hand, "Lets go in."


    Hai Tian Amusement Park had a lot of rides, but the more exciting rides werent open at night.


    Jiang Zhe didnt feel anything about it. To be honest, he didnt like those rides that were too exciting.


    On the other hand, Qin Qing was a bit disappointed.


    Jiang Zhe found it slightly strange. He couldnt tell that such a small and delicate girl would like such stimting rides.


    Qin Qing looked away, her heart thinking: These were all such gentle activities, how could she take advantage of it and be more intimate in such a situation?


    But soon, she cheered herself up, "Jiang Zhe, let''s go to the ferris wheel."


    Jiang Zhe didnt refuse.


    The ferris wheel slowly turned, and two people sat opposite each other. Jiang Zhe clearly noticed Qin Qings nervousness, "Afraid of heights?"


    Qin Qing forced a ha-ha. "No, how could I be afraid of heights? I love exciting rides like these the most."


    Jiang Zhe: Well, it would be better if your smile wasnt so forced.


    He deliberately swayed, breaking the bnce. The small carriage they were riding in also swayed together with him.


    Qin Qing:  (    | | |)


    Mom, she was so scared!


    Going to fall!!!


    Jiang Zhes eyes stared widely at the frozen person across him. He was woken up by the swaying of the carriage, subconsciously opening his arms and hugging her.


    A familiar scent lingered around her nose, and her stiff body was enveloped in warmth. Qin Qing moved her eyes and looked up at him.


    Their eyes meeting, Jiang Zhes eyes arched up, "I still thought you had a lot of courage."


    Qin Qing: "I"


    She wanted to get up, but her limbs had lost all strength.


    Jiang Zhe hugged her tightly, "Just remain like this. After all, Im also a little afraid." Laughter could be heard in the voice that sounded above her head.


    Qin Qing red at him, silentlyining: Liar.


    Jiang Zhe patted her back,ughing lowly.


    The three long minutes finally passed, and Jiang Zhe helped her down.


    When her feet touched the ground, Qin Qing finally felt that she had survived.


    Jiang Zhe looked at her pale face and felt a little sorry for her. "Let''s take a break."


    Hai Tian Amusement Park used a ticketing system. Once they went out, they would have to buy another ticket to enter.


    To y longer, most people would choose to buy food inside, which also led to the prices of small snacks in the amusement park skyrocketing upwards.


    They walked into a high-priced beverage store.


    He casually looked at the price list. Tsk, a cup of milk tea costs more than 60, and adding a little more ingredient would raise the price to more than 90.


    To Jiang Zhe, this couldnt be counted as much, since he was a CEO.


    Its just that he had experienced the good quality and low price in the previous world. Compared to now, there would naturally be a feeling of being cheated.


    Jiang Zhe emotionlessly paid, silentlyining in his heart.


    The clerk was a youngdy who had been secretly looking at Jiang Zhe, "Sir, this is your change."


    Jiang Zhe took it silently and kept it.


    Just nice, the milk tea was served at this moment. He smoothly picked up the tray and walked to Qin Qing.


    Qin Qing drank a mouthful, and was slightly surprised: "How did you know that I like vani-vored ice milk tea."


    Jiang Zhe took a sip of coffee, especially aloof, "I guessed."


    "What?" Qin Qing was not satisfied with this answer,ining quietly.


    The two people drank facing each other. After a while, she felt that something was wrong. When she turned her eyes, she immediately caught someone peeking at Jiang Zhe.


    Qin Qing: Getting angry.


    Jiang Zhe was clearly hers, they were childhood sweethearts, and both parents have already met.


    Its just Jiang Zhe who had never agreed.


    Qin Qing suddenly felt a sense of defeat.


    Jiang Zhepletely couldn''t keep up with the thoughts of the girl sitting opposite her. One moment, she wasughing, the next moment she would be frowning. He didnt know what she was thinking about.


    He was slightly troubled and wanted to light a cigarette, but recalled that he had left it in the car.


    Jiang Zhe knocked on the table, pulling Qin Qing''s attention back, "What''s wrong, you dont like it?"


    Qin Qing: "No, nothing, I like it very much."


    As if to prove her words, she gulped down the remaining half of the milk tea.


    Qin Qing: "See, I drank finish. Let''s go."


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    Out of the drink shop, the two people walked around aimlessly.


    The lights of the amusement park were very beautiful, and lighted decorations of various cartoon characters could be seen all over the roadside. Qin Qing ran forward in a fewrge steps and shouted: "Jiang Zhe, help me take some pictures. Remember to take it more beautifully."


    Jiang Zhe was stunned, his previous irritability miraculously disappearing."


    He took out his mobile phone and opened the camera.


    In the picture, the girl posed in a variety of cute postures. He casually took a few photos, and they were all beautiful.


    Ok, that was what he thought.


    Qin Qing ran over to check, and her mouth twisted for a moment. "You made me look so ugly in the photos."


    Jiang Zhe: "I think it''s not bad."


    Qin Qing stared at him strangely.


    Jiang Zhe was baffled.In the end, the few photos were still deleted by the photos owner.


    Qin Qing had a bit of guilty conscience. Her eyes casually looked around, and saw a w machine.


    Qin Qing: "Jiang Zhe, let''s go y that."


    Jiang Zhe looked in the direction of her fingers and his face turned stiff.


    All around the w machine were young couples. He, an old man, didnt want to join in.


    The original soul was already 28, while Qin Qing was only 22. For these two people to be childhood sweethearts, it was really amazing.


    Still, it was rare to see Qin Qing so interested. Jiang Zhe hid the difort on his face and apanied her, walking over.


    Qin Qing changed ten tokens and put one in. The colourful lights in the w machine shed. She controlled the joystick, and chose her target with a shining gaze. Pinpointing the timing, she pressed the button.


    The mechanical w caught a little bear toy. Qin Qing was very happy.


    As the mechanical w lifted midway, the little bear fell. Her happiness expectedly turned to sadness.


    How could this be, she clearly caught it, the machine is too much


    Qin Qing didnt believe in curses. Putting another token in, she gloriously repeated the previously failure.


    Qin Qing:


    "It doesn''t matter, I still have tokens." She cheered herself on and subsequently seeded in proving herself wrong.


    Qin Qing:


    She looked at Jiang Zhe, embarrassed.


    Jiang Zhe looked back at her.


    Then, he turned and left.


    Qin Qing: TAT


    Jiang Zhe exchanged more tokens and came back. Roughly calcting, there were more than twenty.


    Before Qin Qings dazed eyes, Jiang Zhe leaned over slightly to her ear,ughing softly: "Concentrate, otherwise if you don''t get the prize, you wont be able to go home tonight."


    Qin Qing''s face exploded in redness, "You"


    Jiang Zhe pulled her hand and held the joystick together. Qin Qing stared, focused on the w machine in front of her, her mind already bing the machine.

    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (3)</strong>


    Under the heavy expectations, Jiang  Tyrant CEO  Zhe, failed.


    ..A little bit embarrassing!


    The system couldn''t help but snort inughter.


    System: "Let you act cool, this time you really screwed up, hahahahahahahahaha"


    Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow, and failed many times with the subsequent tokens. Finally, when thest token was put in, he finally seeded in catching a little bear toy.


    Qin Qing jumped in joy, happier than even Jiang Zhe who caught it.


    Jiang Zhe took the prize and handed it to Qin Qing.


    Qin Qings face changed subtly. Wringing her fingers, she stumbled over her words: "Jiang Zhe, is this counted as you giving me a present?"


    While speaking, she looked at him with hopeful eyes.


    Jiang Zhe gently went "En".


    A smile bloomed on Qin Qings face. She hugged the little bear, which was two hand-widthsrge, like it was a treasure and skipped out.


    Qin Qing: "Where are we going to y next?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Ill listen to you."


    Qin Qing looked at the bumper cars in front, her eyes lit up, and her hand pointed: "Let''s y that."


    Then, everyone saw a tall, long-legged, handsome and aloof young man wearing a suit, pitifully shrinking into a bumper car, a cute girl sitting next to him in the small blue car..


    "Wawawa, that handsome guy is so loving, I also want this kind of boyfriend."


    "Apanying his girlfriend to sit in a bumper car is the cutest thing ever."


    "His girlfriend is really fortunate."


    "Every cold-faced handsome guy has a warm gentle heart under their cold exterior"


    "Envy"


    "Envy +1"


    A group of youngdies excitedly gathered while queuing, noisily discussing.


    The two instigators were knocked dizzy in the y area. Jiang Zhe quickly turned the steering wheel, but it was of no use. The steering wheel was just for disy. Jiang Zhe sat in the car, almost being knocked unconscious by people.


    Next to him, Qin Qing kept circling around him, her eyes arched,ughing happily.


    Jiang Zhe:


    Forget it, if it hits, then let it hit.


    Only the heavens knew how he, this tyrant CEO, ended up in this state==


    Late at night, the two walked out of Hai Tian Amusement Park. Qin Qing held on to a cup of milk tea, biting the straw and sipping.


    Jiang Zhe opened the car door and sat in the drivers seat, turning around to say: "Ill send you home."


    Qin Qing paused in biting the straw, her entire face brightening up in happiness. After a long time, she softly said a word Okay.


    Jiang Zhe was expressionless, his eyes calm. Lifting his hand, he stroked the womans ck hair, "Being with you tonight made me very happy. When youre free again, we can go out and y together."


    "Ill be free tomorrow." Qin Qing smiled and looked at him expectantly.


    Jiang Zhe nced at the hand she had stretched over. Qin Qing pulled her hand back, embarrassed.


    "Then, then the next day, is the next day alright?"


    Jiang Zhes face remained expressionless. Qin Qing was a little scared and tried to retain some dignity for herself, "I was just joking around just now, dont take it seriously, haha"


    Jiang Zhe took out a cigarette. He didnt light it, only holding it with his fingertips to y. His eyes drooped as he said: "Qin Qing."


    Qin Qing: "Ah?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Do you like me?"


    Why did you suddenly ask this?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Tell me, do you like me?"


    Qin Qing pinched a corner of her clothes, taking a while to respond "En".


    Jiang Zhe threw away the cigarette and smiled: "Interacting with you tonight, I find it feels good. Just nice, our two families are also very familiar with each other, and we both have good feelings towards each other. So, are you willing to date me with marriage in mind?"


    Qin Qing: "Ah???"


    For that moment, Qin Qing thought that she had an auditory hallucination.


    Jiang Zhe was actually willing to date her with marriage in mind, was this not just a dream of hers?


    Qin Qing pinched herself viciously, painful.


    It was so painful, her tears flowed.


    Qin Qing wasnt hurt, and was happy instead. So this was all real?


    She nodded her head heavily, loudly saying: "Willing, Im very willing."


    Jiang Zhe showed a trace of amusement, wiping away the tears in her eyes with his thumb, "En, let''s go home."


    Qin Qing: "En."


    The ck Mercedes Maybach sped all the way home, finally stopping in front of a vi. Qin Qing reluctantly bid farewell to him, "Then, Im going in."


    Jiang Zhe suddenly called out and stopped her. Qin Qing was unclear, but she still stood in ce obediently, "What, whats wrong?"


    Jiang Zhe leaned in closely, kissing her forehead lightly, "Goodbye kiss. Good night, Qing Qing."


    Qin Qing blushed fiercely, covering her forehead and stumbling over her words, "Good, good night, Jiang Zhe."


    Jiang Zhe leaned against the car door and waved at her: "Ill watch you go in."


    "Oh, oh oh." Qin Qing lifted her feet and ran in the house.


    Jiang Zhe only returned to the car when he couldnt see her figure any more. Qin Qing heard the sound of the car engine starting and poked her head out of the window. She only had time to see a car trunk leaving.


    She rubbed her forehead, seemingly feeling the warm touch lingering there, and smiled happily.


    "Qing Qing." Suddenly, a womans stern voice came from behind. Qin Qing jumped up in fright and almost fell to the ground.


    She turned and upon seeing clearly who the people were, quirked her mouth andined: "Mom, do you know that you can scare people to death."


    Mother Qin rolled her eyes and stood up with her arms crossed over her chest, staring at her from up high, "Where did you go crazy tonight, toe home sote. Do you know how worried Mom and Dad were?"


    Qin Qing ran over with small steps and gently shook Mother Qin''s arm, fawning: "Mom, I went out on a date with Jiang Zhe."


    "Really?" Mother Qin was very doubtful.


    Obviously, she knew that her daughter had always been in a one-sided love.


    Mother Qin said strongly with sincerity: Qing Qing, youd better not lie to Mom.


    "Really." Qin Qing was quick, shaking the little bear toy and telling them the whole story of Jiang Zhe apanying her to y the w machine.


    Mother Qin became even more skeptical.


    Would Jiang Zhe y such a childish game?Definitely impossible.


    Qin Qing: "Really, believe me."


    Mother Qin: "Hehe."


    Qin Qing:


    "If this is the case, then don''t me me."


    She took out her handphone and her fingers moved quickly.


    On the road, a Maybach stopped by the side.


    Jiang Zhe: "Qing Qing? Whats up?"


    "My mother doesn''t believe me. I was clearly with you tonight, you have to testify for me."


    Jiang Zhe paused for a moment in confusion, "Alright. Pass the handphone to Aunty."


    Qin Qings face revealed a smug smile, and Mother Qin received the handphone in doubt.


    Jiang Zhe: "Aunty Qin, hello, I am Jiang Zhe."


    "ItsAZhe." Mother Qins face changed in a second, warmly asking everything under the sun, except she absolutely didnt bring up her previous suspicion of her daughter.


    After two minutes, she hung up.Qin Qing raised her chin, looking like a proud little rooster. "How was it, I didnt lie, right? And you didnt believe me, hmph."


    Then, she turned and left.The footsteps were particrly loud.


    Mother Qin inexplicably felt her hands bing somewhat itchy.


    "Stinky girl." She alsoughed with a pfft.


    Now, her daughter had finally gotten her wish.


    She only hoped that Jiang Zhe was serious.If he dared to y with Qing Qings feelings, then don''t me Aunty Qin for not giving him face.


    Jiang Zhe put the handphone back in its ce and drove straight home.


    Before going to sleep at night, his handphone vibrated with a notification.


    He opened WeChat. A beautiful womans photo was sent, with a paragraph below.


    "I feel that my photography skills are much better than yours [Sticking out tongue]."


    Jiang Zhes lips hooked up. Holding the handphone closer, he deliberately lowered his voice, "I think so too." before pressing the send button.


    He turned off the lights and went to sleep.


    The poor someone who received the reply was so excited that she couldnt sleep.


    Qin Qings old wounds hadnt healed when she once again got new injuries.En, and it was inflicted in the same manner, in the same ce, adding injury to wound.


    But she didnt feel any pain. She sent a message to her girlfriend, telling of her excitement.


    "Ah, ah, ah, I finally caught my male god, [happy] [happy]"


    "We even went out to y together today, he also gave me a gift, [little bear toy picture]"


    "Isnt it so cute, I find it super cute."


    "He even guessed that I love to drink vani ice cream voured ice milk tea."


    "Ke Ke, why arent you talking?"


    "Ke Ke?"


    Ke Ke:


    "Sis, I have to remind you, its midnight right now."


    Qin Qing: "But when you broke up previously, I still apanied you at three in the morning."


    Ke Ke: "That''s all in the past, its annoying that you keep bringing it up. Im going to sleep."


    Qin Qing hugged her handphone, the good mood from getting together with Jiang Zhe reduced slightly.

    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (4)</strong>


    The next day, the spring sunlight shone down brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. It was another good day.


    Jiang Zhe woke up naturally, changed his clothes, and had his breakfast served by his maids.


    When he left the house, he nced back. When he had the time, he would find a new ce to live in.


    After he went to thepany, he spent most of his time integrating the original souls memory and handling documents.


    His efficiency was still not too high. By four in the afternoon, he had only managed to process those urgent documents that needed to be reviewed and approved.


    When the secretary came in to get the documents, Jiang Zhe suddenly stopped him: "Help me to keep an eye out on whether there are any luxury apartments on sale near thepany?"


    The secretary didnt understand his intentions. However, he still smiled and nodded with professionalism.


    "Understood, CEO."


    Jiang Zhe: "En,you maygo."


    The peaceful days passed by. Practice makes perfect. Before long, he gradually started to get skilled at his job, spending his weekends on dates with Qin Qing.


    Qin Qings initial worry gradually turned to sweet anticipation.


    This afternoon, Jiang Zhe had just finished processing the documents on hand when his handphone rang.


    He took the call, "Qing Qing, whats up?"


    Qin Qing pouted over the phone, dissatisfiedly saying: "I can''t find you if nothings up?"


    Jiang Zhe smiled gently, "You can." He asked again: "Do you have any arrangements on tonight?"


    "No." Within a split second, an answer came over.


    Jiang Zhe: "Then, can I trouble Miss Qing Qing for a favour today?


    Qin Qing: "What with?"


    Jiang Zhe: "You will know when you go to my house."


    Qin Qing looked at her handphone and frowned. What was it that he had to be so mysterious about?


    However, when she arrived at Jiang Zhes vi, she was taken aback to see him guiding people to move his things out, and ran with small steps to Jiang Zhes side: "Youre moving house?"


    Jiang Zhe nodded.


    Qin Qing: "Where are you moving to?"


    Jiang Zhe: "This is what I wanted you to help me with. Help me take a look at whether my new house is good."


    Qin Qing: "Ah?!!"


    She stumbled clumsily into Jiang Zhes car. When she took the elevator up, walking into the three room two hall luxury apartment, she couldnt help but widen her eyes in amazement.


    She ran to the full length window, looking down from above at the city scenery and praised it from the bottom of her heart: "It''s beautiful."


    "Not only is the scenery good, but its also close to thepany." Jiang Zhe came up behind her unknowingly, hugging her, his head resting on her shoulder.


    Jiang Zhe: "If you want to see the scenery in the future, you cane over at any time."


    Under Qin Qings dazed eyes, Jiang Zhe handed her a bunch of keys.


    Qin Qing felt a little like she was floating on a cloud, asking faintly: "Jiang Zhe, what do you mean?"


    Jiang Zhe shook the key, his eyes deep like they filled with stars, "Its what youre thinking?"


    Qin Qing: !!!


    The surprise came too fast, like a tornado.


    Her brain has already blown up like fireworks. She couldnt hear anything else.


    What to do?


    Her heart was beating so fast.


    She looked at the man in front of her, her heart putong putong beating like it was going to jump out her chest.


    Qin Qing grabbed the key, and growled: "Youve given it to me, so its mine in the future. You cant take it back."


    Jiang Zhe: "En, I wont."


    Qin Qing smiled sweetly. She ignored the movers who were still moving about in the house, jumping up and hugging Jiang Zhe, burying her head in his neck and whispering: "Jiang Zhe, youre so good."


    After that day, Qin Qing would drop by this apartment whenever she could, asionally sending a message to her circle of friends, showing off her homemade pastries.


    Suddenly, her WeChat notification sounded.


    Ke Ke: "Eh? Something happened [curious]"


    Qin Qing''s smile suddenly paused, her fingers continually typed on the screen. Finally, she looked at her text and deleted it again.


    Qin Qing: "En."


    Soon, another message came in.


    Ke Ke: "So calm?"


    Qin Qing didn''t feel like replying.


    Before long, her handphone sounded that there was a new message.


    Ke Ke: "It cant be that youre dating?"


    Ke Ke: "A fellow with only eyes for her man, throwing her friends aside [contempt]"


    Ke Ke: "What exactly are you doing?"


    Ke Ke: "Why are you ignoring me?"


    Ke Ke: "Qin Qing???"


    Ke Ke: "Where are you?"


    In the blink of an eye, there were dozens of messages on her WeChat.


    Qin Qing felt extremely annoyed.


    Qin Qing: "Im busy. [Goodbye]"


    The messages really stopped.


    Qin Qing pressed her lips together, feeling that her mood was just terrible.


    It was like this since before. When they had a problem, they would look for her. When they had no problems, they would ignore her.


    That night, she clearly said, "She caught her male god", yet they were still asking her now whether she was dating.


    Qin Qing only felt that this stic flower-like friendship was really fragile, really ridiculous.


    When Jiang Zhe returned home at night, he saw the house was inplete darkness. He turned on the light and saw Qin Qing sprawled on the sofa, her whole body screaming sad.


    Jiang Zhe was shocked.Going over and touching her forehead, "Theres no fever. Do you feel unwell anywhere?"


    Qin Qing rubbed her chest indignantly, "It''s feels bad here."


    Then she told him the history between her and Ke Ke over the past two years.


    Jiang Zhe: #_#


    This girl was really foolish, only realising now that she had been treated as an emotional dump by others for two years.


    He looked at someone who had wilted and gave up his teasing thoughts, touching her face, "Lets go. Since youre in a bad mood, I will take you out for a ride."


    Qin Qing groaned, not wanting to move. A pair of angry eyes even red at him.


    Jiang Zhe could only give in.


    He stretched out his hands, sweeping her up in a princess carry. Qin Qing suddenly felt weightless, and was frightened into hugging her mans neck tightly.


    Qin Qing was embarrassed and afraid: "Others will see, how embarrassing."


    Jiang Zhe: "Thene down and walk on your own."


    Qin Qing: "I don''t want to."


    Jiang Zhe: = =


    They were lucky, there was no one there the entire way to the parking lot.


    Jiang Zhe asked her: "Are you alright with eating Japanese food tonight?"


    Qin Qing lowered her head and didn''t say anything.


    Jiang Zhe stared at the side of her face, raising his eyebrows slightly. Was this a silent rejection?!


    He threw the question over. "Then what do you want to eat?"


    Qin Qing sniffled and coughed a few times. "Up to you, Im alright with anything."


    The car was quiet again.


    Jiang Zhe rested one elbow on the steering wheel, his index finger poking his forehead.


    Up to him!


    This was really


    It wasnt up to him at all.


    He thought about it and asked: "What about Chinese food? Sichuan cuisine?"


    Qin Qing turned her head, her eyes looking exhausted.


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe: "Cantonese food?"


    Qin Qing remained silent.


    Jiang Zhe snorted weakly.Retracting his hand, he tilted his head up slightly and leaned back against the seat.


    "Then lets just sit like this. Once youve thought about it, we can set off."


    Qin Qing looked up at him incredulously, "You"


    She was in a bad mood, but not only did he not coax her, he even treated her in such a manner.


    Qin Qing felt a little wronged.


    Jiang Zhe couldn''t stand to see her sad and could only blindly throw out a ce: "Then lets go to the night market."


    Qin Qing''s eyes brightened in an instant.


    Jiang Zhe coughed softly. "I haven''t gone in a long time. Do you want to go?"


    Qin Qing: "En."


    The car drove directly there and finally stopped at the side of the road, attracting second nces from passerbys.


    At this time, the night market was just beginning. It was extremely lively, with neon lights shining and constant traffic.


    They followed along the squeezy crowd. Seafood stores, dry hotpot restaurants, m soup, fried meat sticks, unending potatos, along with barbecues and kebabs, many unknown delicacys fragrance mixed together.


    Jiang Zhe protected Qin Qing with one hand, lest she got lost in the middle of the flowing crowd, and asked distractedly: "What do you want to eat?"


    Qin Qing sniffed the fragrance of the food in the air, and almost couldnt move. Her eyes looked left and right as if they werent enough to take in all the sights.


    She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tangled: "How about M soup?"


    Jiang Zhe lowered his head to consider her: "Alright."


    They walked into a neat and clean store. Qin Qing ate a bowl of ducks blood and beef tripe in spicy soup full of beef tripe and duck intestines. Her small face turned red, sweat flowing nonstop.


    From time to time, Jiang Zhe helped her wipe her sweat. When the spiciness was too much for her, he stretched his hand towards her ice c and quickly changed it to warm tea.


    Qin Qing disdained it, "Eating spicy food should be paired with ice cold drinks."


    Jiang Zhe didnt answer and shifted the topic, "What are those people doing?"


    Qin Qing immediately looked over and saw a bunch of young people gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.


    She was extremely curious. She quickly ate her m soup, paid and pulled Jiang Zhe along.


    They finally saw clearly what those people were doing around.


    There were many ceramics on the ground. There were cups, yellow ducklings and ceramic cartoon cats*. They were arranged regrly in rows. The further back they went, the more valuable the items were.


    Alright,pared to the things ced in front, the value of those behind as much more.


    Qin Qing had never yed it before, and turned her head to look at Jiang Zhe impatiently.


    Jiang Zhe had a slight headache.


    Thest time was a w machine. This time, besides going to the night market and eating m soup, she still wanted to y this hoop game.


    He was really the most disgraceful fake CEO in the history of all CEOs, he thought.


    *  A kind of cartoon roon in Chinese children''s shows.

 Chapter 33

    Chapter 33


    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (5)</strong>


    Qin Qing held her spoils of war  a ceramic cartoon cat, happily bouncing behind Jiang Zhe out of the night market.


    The night winds blew, dispelling the heat. Jiang Zhe tilted his head to look at her, asking with a smile: "Do you feel better now? Little princess."


    Qin Qing''s face turned red, and she looked up suddenly, staring curiously at Jiang Zhes face.


    Jiang Zhe: "What is it?"


    "Nothing." Qin Qing immediately lowered her head, but the tips of her ears were stillpletely red.


    What little princess, so shameful.


    But she still liked it a lot o (* ////  //// *) q


    Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows, but didnt continue to ask her about it, "Come on, lets go back."


    Qin Qing: "En, en."


    As fast as the night wind, Jiang Zhe drove home.


    In the private apartment that belonged solely to Jiang Zhe.


    Qin Qing looked at the strange but familiar buildings around, extremely nervous.


    Tonight, Jiang Zhe didnt propose to send her back to her home, but instead brought her straight here.


    Jiang Zhe he, what does he mean?


    There was a faint guess in Qin Qings heart, but logically thinking, it didnt seem too possible. However, as the elevator slowly moved upwards, the familiar door opened, and when she stepped through the door, her heart had already jumped into her mouth.


    Jiang Zhe, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped. Qin Qing, who had her head lowered thinking about things, collided into him headfirst.


    Fortunately, Jiang Zhe turned and supported her in time. "What were you thinking about? To be so deep in thoughts."


    Qin Qing: !!!


    Qin Qing: "I, I didn''t think about anything?"


    Jiang Zhe said suspiciously: "Really?"


    Qin Qing nodded like a woodpecker, "Really, truer than real gold."


    Jiang Zhe resisted the urge tough. Pretending to be serious, he coughed with a fist against his lips, "Alright. What do you want to drink, I will get it for you."


    Qin Qing: "Ice water is good."To reduce heat.


    "Okay." Jiang Zhe gave her a bottle of ice water.Then silently, he sat next to her.


    The two people were sitting very close. Qin Qing could almost feel the heat from Jiang Zhe passing through her clothes.


    Although the two didnt speak, the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.


    Qin Qing pinched the bottle, her fingers slightly white.Nervous.


    She swallowed her saliva and shouted: "Jiang, Jiang Zhe."


    "En."


    Thevoice was low and maic.


    Qin Qings legs went soft for a second.


    Fortunately she was sitting on the sofa, so she wouldnt embarrass herself.


    Jiang Zhe had been paying attention to her the whole while. Looking at her changing expressions, he found it quite interesting.


    Its just that, to let a girl take the initiatives when ites to emotions was really a bit of a scum move.


    So he cleared his throat, pulling back Qin Qings attention.


    His expression was hidden under the light, and his thin lips were pressed together tightly. Qin Qing watched him with wide eyes as he came over, unable to move.


    "Qing Qing."


    "Ah?"


    Qin Qing didnt have time to react before her shoulders were held. Warmth was felt on her lips, just a short touch.


    It was different from before when he kissed her forehead and kissed her cheek.


    This time, they were mouth to mouth.Although it was only a peck, the shock brought to Qin Qing was far from what it was before.


    "You, you" Under her shock, she fiercely pushed Jiang Zhe away and huddled into a corner of the sofa.


    With both hands covering his mouth, a pair of big eyes looked at him without blinking.


    Jiang Zhes breath was somewhat unstable, but at this time, he still remembered gentlemans etiquette.


    He didnt go forward, sitting in the previous position, and in front of Qin Qing, he used his fingers to slowly stroke his lips.


    "Do you not like it?" he asked.


    Qin Qing had no expression, but tears were already flowing inside her heart.


    No, she liked it.


    However, at this time, it was like her body didnt belong to her. No matter how, she couldnt say a word.


    Qin Qing almost cried out of anxiousness.If Jiang Zhe misunderstood in the future due to his, he wouldnt be intimate with her in the future


    This was simply bullying her!!!


    Jiang Zhe waited for her answer, but didnt expect to receive the girl''s two lines of tears.


    Jiang Zhe: Cough


    At this time, he can''t help but fall into self-doubt. Did he understand it wrong before, and Qin Qing didn''t like him?


    If that was the case, he had really screwed up big time tonight.


    He was quite conflicted, at a loss of what to do. He wanted to go forward, but was afraid of causing the girl to retaliate. So, he could only take out his handkerchief and hand it to her, "Sorry, I was too impulsive tonight."


    "If youre not happy,I can make it up to you. As long as I have something, I canpensate you. So, don''t cry, okay."


    Qin Qing shook her head, "Its not that."


    "I cried because I was happy, tears of happiness, understand?"


    Jiang Zhe:


    He didnt understand before, but he did now.


    Qin Qing grabbed Jiang Zhe''s handkerchief and roughly wiped her tears. Then, like a hungry tiger hunting its prey, she pushed Jiang Zhe down.


    The lights inside the house exuded a dim warm yellow glow, and the surroundings were so quiet, a falling leaf could be heard.


    Only their heartbeats entered their ears.


    Qin Qing bit her lips, her fingers shaking.


    Jiang Zhe looked at her: "Are you afraid?"


    Qin Qing acted strong: "Im alright."


    "You just said. Youll make it up to me, anything is fine."


    "Ive thought about it. If you really want to make up for it, then give yourself to me."


    After speaking, she quickly lowered her head, kissing his pair of lips.


    This time it was not just a shallow taste.


    Qin Qing clutched his shoulder and tentatively stretched her tongue out.


    Turning around, the two positions were immediately reversed.


    Jiang Zhes breathing grew obviously heavier. He faintly caressed the corner of her mouth, saying intimately, At this time, how can I make a girl do the work? You just need to enjoy it.


    Qin Qings eyes widened: "Jiangwuwu"


    Jiang Zhe heldher face in one hand, hisdamp tongue gently licking across her lips.Without having to put in much effort, she had already opened up.


    The joy from having her wishes fulfilled, along with the sweetness of the kiss, Qin Qing only felt that her consciousness was being conquered.


    Jiang Zhes hand on her face gradually moved down, slowly sliding to her neck, gently rubbing, causing the person below him to tremble.


    He was in a good mood, slowly got up and sat on the edge of the sofa.


    His eyes looked down. Under the light, the woman''s face was flushed, and tears were pooled in her eyes, sparkling.


    Jiang Zhe lovingly wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes, gently asking: "Are you alright?"


    No one responded in the living room. After a long time, Qin Qing finally turned her eyes and showed a happy smile.


    "Jiang Zhe." She called.


    The sound was soft and sweet, just like the honey, drowning people in its sweetness.


    Jiang Zhe leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Im here."


    Qin Qing met his eyes. She could easily see her reflection in his eyes.


    Qin Qing: "Tonight"


    She was very embarrassed. The unfinished words were simply too shameful for her to say it. Her initially red cheeks flushed a further red.


    Jiang Zhe didnt need to touch it to know that her cheeks must be hot, like a fever.


    In fact, love could sometimes make people feel dizzy,their heads hot.


    Because, he also thought that he wasnt normal any more.


    He didn''t hold back, dipping his head to kiss the girl''s mouth again.


    Jiang Zhe: "Qing Qing."


    Qin Qing: "En."


    Jiang Zhe: "Let''s get married."


    Qin Qing: "En, en???"


    She widened her eyes, her disbelieve reaching maximum levels.


    Jiang Zhe stroked her sweat-filled hair, his eyes deep, After being with you these days, I feel that I really like you. I want to marry you, want to sleep with you on a bed every night. I hope that you will be the first person I see every morning after I wake up. So, are you willing to marry me?"


    Qin Qing hadpletely gone crazy.


    Today was a really stimting day!


    Qin Qing: "But why, so suddenly?"


    Other than surprise, there was a deep uneasiness.Happiness that came too fast could be easily broken, not true at all.


    Jiang Zhe: "Because I want to protect Qing Qing. In the future, I will share all your joys and sorrows together with you. So don''t be sad because of an unimportant friend."


    Upon mentioning Ke Ke, Qin Qing''s chaotic brain woke up somewhat. "Jiang Zhe, if you are doing this because you pity me"


    Jiang Zhe: "Theres many pitiful women in the world. If I pitied every woman and wanted to get married with her, maybe I would have a harem of three thousand women by now. Even more so, I would probably have long been split into pieces by people."


    The sudden joke seeded in breaking Qin Qings walls. She lightly hit the man in embarrassment, "Don''t be naughty. Im talking about serious business with you."


    Jiang Zhe: "Im also talking about serious business.


    Would you like to marry me?Qing Qing.


    Qin Qing snorted in dismay and covered her face with her hands. Youve already eaten me whole, could I still run?

    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (6)</strong>


    Jiang Zheughed quietly, and even his chest was shaking slightly.


    He said: "Qing Qingreally is a treasure."


    Qin Qing covered her face in embarrassment, not daring to look at him.


    Why didnt she previously realise that Jiang Zhe was, was so good at sweet talking?


    However, she really liked it.


    Her entire being was as if she fell into a sugar jar, even the air was filled with the scent of candy.


    At this moment, she must be the happiest girl in the world, she thought.


    Jiang Zhe leaned over and took away her hand covering her face, touching foreheads with her. "What are you shy about, my fiancee."


    Qin Qing: (#/.#)


    A sudden critical hit made her dizzy.


    She looked away and avoided the man''s gaze, stammering, "You, you are really"


    Qin Qing didn''t know what to say. Even if she understood it, she wasnt as shameless as Jiang Zhe.


    Jiang Zhes heart trembled at her shy little posture, and kissed her forehead again, "Qing Qing isso cute, wait for me for a while here."


    He got up and walked into the bedroom. Without the man''s imprisonment, Qin Qing could breathe easier.


    "Hu" She patted her cheeks. Till now, her cheeks were still hot.


    After a moment, Jiang Zhe came out again, holding a small red box in his hand?!


    Qin Qings gaze stared at him, her heartbeat elerated and her mind was nk, her breathing quickening a notch.


    "You" She had just said a word when the man suddenly knelt in front of her. Jiang Zhe opened the box, and the diamond shone brightly under the dim light.


    Jiang Zhe: "I didn''t expect to propose tonight. Fortunately, I had this idea before and prepared the ring long ago. Although there are no flowers, my sincerity isnt any less."


    Qin Qingpletely didn''t know how to respond. Her mouth had dropped open. Tonight had been a series of surprises that were close to stupefying her.


    Jiang Zhe took out the ring and gently pulled her hand over, slowly putting the ring on her finger.


    Jiang Zhe: "Do you like it?"


    Qin Qing blinked and nodded with tears flowing. Jiang Zhe reached out and wiped away her tears,ughing: "This time I understand, my little princess is crying in joy.


    "Youre teasing me again." Qin Qing pretended to hit his shoulder, but was caught by someone and kissed.


    Jiang Zhe: "How could I be willing to tease you?"


    "You are my little princess."


    Qin Qing threw herself into his arms, her smile extremely sweet.


    She wanted to take back the words before, that wasnt the moment when she felt that she was the happiest girl in the world.


    Rather, she was the happiest person in the world the entire night today.


    Heaven was really kind to her. She would not forget tonights scene for the rest of her life, she thought.


    The atmosphere became warm and beautiful. Qin Qingid in Jiang Zhes arms and unknowingly fell asleep.


    Jiang Zhe stroked her lips that were still upturned even in her sleep, gently moving her to the bedroom.


    He himself went to the bathroom and took a cold shower, reducing his inner heat.


    The system popped out sneakily: "Tsk tsk tsk, host you also have a day like this."


    Jiang Zhe:


    The veins on Jiang Zhe''s forehead popped out. At this moment he really wished that the system had a physical body, because his fist was already extremely itchy.


    The system had no fear.


    System: "Before, you always gave me the cold shoulder. Now, its toote to regret it. Hehe


    Jiang Zhe: Damn retarded*


    Jiang Zhe knew very well how to deal with stupidity. Never discuss logic with a stupid person. Your cold shoulder is the most fearsome attack on a stupid person.


    He pulled the bathroom towel, wrapped his lower body and went to the room to sleep. In the meantime, he ignored whatever the system painstakingly said.


    System: Angry like a pufferfish


    System: "JiangZhe, you bastard. One day, you will beg for this systems help. When that happens, Ill see what happens to you."


    Jiang Zhe eyelids didnt even move. What to do?Just leave it be.


    In that situation, it was already his good upbringing if he didnt settle his debts with the system.


    The next day, the morning sunlight shone through the full length windows into the bedroom. Qin Qing blinked her eyes, mumbling blurrily, "Strange, when did the smell in my bedroom change?"


    Smell?


    She woke up with a shock, the memory ofst night returning and the ring on her left hand ring finger still shining.


    Qin Qing: !!!


    Heavens, Jiang Zhe really proposed to herst night!!


    "Oh my god!" Qin Qing turned over and went back, rolling around in the bed, venting the excessive excitement in her heart.


    Halfway through, she suddenly realised, this bed seemed to be the one that Jiang Zhe sleeps on, thenst night?


    She quickly flipped open the nket. Her clothes were still worn properly on her body.


    Qin Qing: (_)!!


    Disappointment was overwhelming. ==


    At that critical moment, how could she fall asleep? Angry.


    She hit her head in frustration, then heard a "dong dong" sound. Hmm? She didn''t use any strength, why was there sound?


    "Dong dong dong" the sound rang out again regrly.


    She looked up and realised it was actually the sound of knocking on the door.


    Jiang Zhe: "Qing Qing, are you awake?"


    Qin Qing: .


    She hurriedly tidied her hair clothes, "Oh, Ill, Ill be out soon."


    Jiang Zhe: "Alright."


    Breakfast wasid out on the exquisite rectangr table. Bread, cornkes, ham slices, omelettes, and sds.


    Lastly, Jiang Zhe ced the milk on the table. Seeing that she hade out, the corner of his mouth rose slightly, "Do you want to wash up first or eat first?"


    Qin Qing was shocked by family-like atmosphere, "I, Ill go wash up first."


    Saying so, she rushed into the bathroom, brushing her teeth andbing her hair in one go."


    Ten minutester, she was once again a beautiful girl.


    Jiang Zhe pulled the seat for her. "Come and eat."


    Qin Qing pressed her lips into a smile: "En."


    Walking closer, she found that Jiang Zhes cup was filled with coffee, but in her cup was milk.


    Qin Qing: "Jiang Zhe, our drinks are different."


    Jiang Zhe wondered: "Do you not like to drink milk?"


    Qin Qing: "Its alright."


    Jiang Zhe: "Im used to drinking coffee in the morning, I hope you can understand." He blinked his eyes, his face smiling.


    Qin Qing: "Yes!!"


    Qin Qing first took a sip of milk, then ate a mouthful of fried eggs, eximing: "This egg is really soft, where did you buy it? Its still so fresh after delivery."


    Jiang Zhes face didnt change, calmly saying: "Probably sponsored by CEO Jiang."


    Qin Qing:  (    | | |) _


    "You made it?"


    Jiang took a sip of coffee and wiped his mouth with a tissue paper, "En, is there any problem?"


    Qin Qing: "No, no problem."


    Her heart was crying insanely. Heavens, Jiang Zhe was crushing her at everything. With such aparison, she was simply useless.


    Qin Qing: What use am I??


    She met Jiang Zhes confused eyes, "It doesnt taste good?"


    Qin Qings body trembled faintly: "Delicious, it''s delicious."


    Jiang Zhe: "If you like it, then eat more."


    At that moment, Qin Qing suddenly found her usefulness. She was born to affirm Jiang Zhe.


    Otherwise, with Jiang Zhe being so powerful, what if no one else realised it?


    Such delicious food, with no one to eat it, would be such a waste. How sad would Jiang Zhe be?


    Qin Qings fighting spirit rose, and she identally too much.


    Jiang Zhe shed tears whileughing. Finding a digestion pill for her, he rubbed her stomach, "You ah, youre already so big. You don''t even know when youre full?"


    Qin Qing hadno face to seeanyone, shrinking in Jiang Zhe''s arms like an ostrich.


    Jiang Zhe let her be. The atmosphere was just right when a handphone rung, breaking the atmosphere.


    Qin Qing took a moment to react to her handphone. Pressing the answer button, the angry roar of Mother Qin broke through the sky from her handphone.


    "You damned girl, where did you go yesterday, not even answering your calls or messages. Do you want to worry your mother to death?"


    Qin Qing: "No, Mom, listen to me, yesterday my handphone ran out of battery"


    "Exin your head, where are you now, Im going to find you."


    Qin Qing: "Mom, Mom, listen to me, I"


    "Where are you?"


    Jiang Zhe took the handphone, warmly saying: "Apologies, Aunty Qin. I forgot to inform youst night that Qing Qing is with me."


    "Jiang Zhe?"


    Jiang Zhe: "It''s me."


    "I proposed to Qing Qing yesterday and she agreed. In a moment of happiness, we forgot to message you. Its my bad, please forgive me."


    Mother Qin: ""


    Father Qin was biting a bun when he saw his wife fall off the chair, her face dazed stiff. He was so frightened the bun in his mouth fell out.


    Father Qin: "Dear, dear, what''s wrong with you?"


    Jiang Zhe frowned. "Aunty Qin, Aunty Qin? Aunty Qin, are you listening to me?"


    Jiang Zhe had no choice but to hang up.


    He nced at Qin Qing. "I will go back with you today."


    Qin Qing imagined her mother''s fury, swallowed her saliva and nodded heavily.


    On the other hand, Jiang Zhe was annoyed. He had remembered to charge Qin Qing''s handphone and then boot it, but why didn''t he spend a little more time to look at the iing notifications on the handphone?


    Cough, he remembered. At that time, he was frying eggs and carelessly forgot.


    Too careless.

    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (7)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe envisioned many times how he would visit the Qin family, but not once did he imagine it was because he made a mistake.


    Jiang Zhe: This was probably a novel experience.


    Jiang Zhe snuck to the balcony, called his secretary, and quickly cleaned up the kitchen before changing his clothes.


    Qin Qing saw his efforts and became a little nervous as well. She quickly ran to the bathroom and checked her overall appearance. Other than her clothes being a little wrinkled, there were no other problems.


    She hoped that when she returned home, her moms eyes wouldnt shoot out too many daggers.


    Qin Qing sped her fingers together, chanting with an extremely sincere attitude.


    Jiang Zhe put on a fitting suit, came out, and saw his fiance in that silly pose as soon as he came out.


    So cute.


    Twenty minutester, his secretary brought over what Jiang Zhe had ordered him to buy. Jiang Zhe handed over a paper bag to Qin Qing.


    Qin Qing: "This is?"


    She looked, and there was a dress inside.


    Jiang Zhe rubbed her head. "Although Qing Qing is naturally beautiful, but beautiful people should also be paired with a beautiful dress."


    Qin Qing: o (*////////*) q


    The secretarys eyes turned round.


    God, CEO Jiang was simply following love stories.


    His teasing skills were just perfect.


    Admire!!!


    The two didnt wait for long before Qin Qing came out after changing into the new dress.


    It was a pure white dress. The top was body-hugging, showing off the womans graceful figure, while the bottom was a asymmetric high-low skirt. It was extremely elegant, making her two slim white legs look even more slender and long.


    Jiang Zhe walked over, reaching out to tuck a stray hair floating in front of her face behind her ear, and whispered: "Beautiful."


    Qin Qing lowered her head and pressed her lips tightly together, preventing herself fromughing out loud in happiness.


    Jiang Zhe took two steps backwards, looked over her, and rubbed his chin, saying: "But the shoes have to be changed too."


    He snapped a finger and his secretary immediately handed him a shoe box. After Jiang Zhe received it, he smoothly helped Qin Qing to change her shoes.


    It was a pair of nude coloured high-heeled sandals. It seemed to have a magical power, turning the pure girl into a charming woman instantly.


    Qin Qing had already been confused by his series of actions. Finally, she didnt even know how she followed Jiang Zhe home.


    Qin family.


    Father Qin and Mother Qin sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the direction of the door, waiting sternly.


    Just before Jiang Zhe got off the bus, he received a call from Mother Jiang.


    "I heard you told Aunty Qin that you proposed to Qing Qing?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Yes, Im currently going to visit the Qin family."


    Mother Jiang:


    Her son''s action was really too fast. Mother Jiang simply didnt have time to react.


    Mother Jiang: "Son, are you hiding anything? Let me tell you, Qing Qing is a good girl, you had better not bully her."


    Jiang Zhe paused. Under Qing Qing''s peaking, he replied solemnly: "Mom, I am serious about Qing Qing."


    Qin Qing immediately bowed her head and didnt dare to look around again, but the ear that was hidden in her ck hair waspletely red.


    Jiang Zhe ended his conversation with Mother Jiang, took the gift, and followed Qin Qing through the Qin familys door.


    The original soul hade to the Qin family many times before, and Jiang Zhe still had some impression.


    He handed the gift over and respectfully said: "Uncle Qin, Aunty Qin, this is a small token of my sincerity, I hope you will ept it."


    Father Qin received Jiang Zhes gift with a smile. "You, this child, since youreing, why did you still buy a gift?"


    Jiang Zhe smiled.


    Qin Qing sat next to him silently, her small face flushed.


    Mother Qin: = =


    Mother Qin: "Qing Qingah, Jiang Zhe is here, why don''t you pour a ss of water?"


    Qin Qing: "Ah?"


    Mother Qin: "You this child, really no manners." Saying so, she pulled Qin Qing away.


    In the living room, Uncle Qin and Jiang Zhe looked at each other. After a period of time, it became a little awkward.


    On the other hand, Mother Qin pulled Qin Qing into the kitchen, and the situation was more intense.


    Mother Qin poked her daughter''s forehead unhappily, andining: "What is going on with you? Once Jiang Zhe proposed to you, you couldnt wait to roll around the sheets with him."


    Qin Qing was fussed over till her face blushed a deep red, "Mom, what are you talking about. Be quiet, what if Jiang Zhe heard that?"


    Mother Qin instantly burst out in anger, "So what if he heard? He has already taken advantage of you, but you dont even let me say two sentences. How could there be such a good thing in this world?"


    "Mom" Qin Qing hurriedly covered her mother''s mouth, whispering: "What are you talking about, I didn''t, cough, do that with Jiang Zhe."


    Mother Qin blinked. Although her mouth was covered by her daughter, her eyes revealed a thick disbelief.


    Qin Qing:


    Qin Qing said impatiently: "Its true."


    "Yesterday, I cut ties with Ke Ke. I was in a bad mood, so I went to find Jiang Zhe. He took me to the night market to y, we"


    Mother Qin: "Wuwuwu"


    Qin Qing quickly let go of her mother.


    Mother Qin could talk again and immediately said: "He is a CEO, but he actually brought you to a night market. Who is he looking down on? Thats not right, I need to ask clearly."


    Qin Qing panicked, "Mom, Mom, don''t be so anxious, listen to me. I asked to go to the night market. Jiang Zhe apanied me the whole way. Hes a big CEO, but he apanied me to eat at a roadside stall, m soup, and even yed hoops with me. Before this, he also apanied me to the amusement park and yed the w machine with me. Mom, Jiang Zhes behaviour is like every young man in love. I can feel it, he is sincere. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have be impatient long ago. How could he give in to me?"


    Mother Qin said doubtfully: "Really, you arent lying to me?"


    "You are my mother, why would I lie to you?" Qin Qing couldn''t help butugh while shedding tears. "I really didnt do anything with Jiang Zhest night."


    "You think about it. We went outside to y for so long. After I went back, he proposed to me. I was too happy, and was exceptionally excited. My emotions fluctuated a lot, and after I rxed, I naturally fell asleep."


    As Qin Qing talked about this, she felt some regret. Mother Qin saw that, and her eyes twitched.


    Qin Qing continued slowly but full of spirit: "This dress was bought for me by Jiang Zhe, doesnt it look good? The shoes were bought by him too."


    She spun in a circle in front of Mother Qin. The back of the skirt was longer and it really looked good when it floated. Mother Qin also couldnt say anything bad about it.


    She squeezed her daughter''s cheeks gently. "Forget it. One of you is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit. What can I do?"


    "Mom" Qin Qing wasnt happy. What kind of analogy was that?


    Mother Qin refused to give in, "Mom knows that you liked Jiang Zhe from young, but it is because of this that Mom is even more unwilling to let you make a decision. You being together, I have no objection. But if he doesnt show any sincerity in his wish to marry you, then we over here will definitely not let him off."


    Qin Qing: "Ah, Mom, Mom"


    Mother Qin asked the maid to bring her back to her room. She herself rushed valiantly back to the battlefield.


    Evening.


    The Qin familys parents sent Jiang Zhe away with a smile, Zheer, set a good date in the near future for your marriage.


    Jiang Zhe: If Aunty Qin doesnt mind me being too quick, then October 1st."


    Mother Qin smiled widely, "Good, good, no problem."


    Jiang Zhe nodded slightly, "Then Uncle Qin, Aunty Qin, Ill be going first."


    Mother Qin waved: "Drive slower on the road."


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    When Jiang Zhe left, Qin Qing still hadnt yet recovered from the shock.


    She only felt that the whole afternoon had passed by like an illusion, not real at all. Her feet were like stepping on the clouds, and she was flustered.


    She went to Mother Qin and asked: "Mom, you agreed?"


    Mother Qin: "Yes, I agreed."


    Qin Qing: !!!


    "Why? In the morning, you were obviously still"


    Father Qin smiled by the side, "Silly child, of course Jiang Zhe showed his sincerity and touched your mother, thats why your mother would agree."


    Father Qin: "Alright, youre probably also tired, go back to sleep."


    Father Qin hugged his wife, "Lets go, dear. Were also going to sleep. The days ahead of us will be busy."


    Qin Qing: = =


    She hurriedly took out her handphone, wanting to call Jiang Zhe. After thinking about it, he was still driving and it was not safe to answer her call.


    She suppressed her anxiety and finally called after half an hour.


    The other side instantly answered, "Qing Qing?" Theman''s voice was low and maic. Even if it was through a handphone, Qin Qing was happy to hear it.


    She patted her face and pulled back her thoughts, asking thoughtfully: "What did you promise my mom today? Her attitude changed a lot."


    At the other end of the call, Jiang Zheughed gently, lightly saying: "Nothing. I just told her that I am willing to hand over half of his worth as an engagement gift, I hope that the two elders will give me your hand in marriage."


    Half of his worth as engagement gift engagement gift gift


    Qin Qing: Oh my god!!!

    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (8)</strong>


    The Qin and Jiang families had a good rtionship with each other since their parents generation. Now that their children are marrying to be inws, both sides parents were naturally satisfied.


    Towards things that align with their own intentions, people would always be 100% supportive.


    Thus, the two young peoples wedding identally became wide-spread knowledge.


    On the wedding day, Jiang Zhe booked thergest hotel in the city. Many well-known figures came to celebrate, and it was extremely lively and crowded.


    Qin Qing looked through the window in her room and saw the crowd downstairs, her hands wet with nervous sweat.


    Mother Qin had been with her the whole way, talking.


    Mother Qin: "Dont be nervous, Qing Qing. Youre the star of today."


    Qin Qing: Im even more nervous now, ok.


    She barely pulled out a smile. Mother Qin helped her to adjust the wedding veil on her head, tears shining in her eyes.


    Qin Qings eyes quickly turned red, "Mom~~~"


    "Hey." Mother Qin responded, and quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Look at me, today is your special day. Smile, dont cry, understand?"


    Qin Qing: "En, en."


    The second hand on the clock ticked regrly. Under the mother and daughters expectations, the auspicious hour finally arrived. Qin Qing held onto Father Qin and walked out from the crowd. Looking through the transparent veil, she could still clearly see the main standing ahead of her.


    That was the person she liked since she was a child. She used to dream of bing his wife at night. Now that her dreams hade true, she actually felt that it was unreal for a moment.


    Under the watchful eyes of many guests, Father Qin gave his daughters hand to Jiang Zhe. I will give Qing Qing to you in the future. You have to take good care of her.


    Jiang Zhes face was solemn: I will, you can rest assured, Dad.


    En. Father Qin responded with a smile and returned to his beloved wifes side.


    Under the priests witness and under the watchful eyes of the guests, the newly wed vowed to each other and exchanged rings.


    When the ring was ced on his ring finger, Jiang Zhe only felt that there was a strange feeling in his heart.


    Night.


    The guests dispersed, and a new couple finally had their own space.


    Qin Qing changed out of her gorgeous wedding dress. Wearing only a small night dress, she sat at the edge of the bed with a shy face.


    Jiang Zhe coughed with his fist on his mouth. "Itste; you should go take a bath first."


    Qin Qing faintly said: "En."


    Jiang Zhe watched her enter the bathroom. He turned at went to the bathroom on the first floor.


    Originally, he had discussed with Qin Qing that after marriage, he would still live in the apartment. However, the two familys parents didnt agree.


    After thinking about it, Jiang Zhe moved back to the original vi.


    At this time, the helpers were all asleep. He took a quick shower and wrapped himself in a bathrobe. Taking a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, he drank it and his clouded mind suddenly became much clearer.


    He patted his forehead, put down the cup, and walked upstairs.Halfway through, he turned back and used a tray to carry a bottle of red wine and two wine sses up.


    His little wife was even shyer than him.


    Master bedroom.


    Qin Qing was wrapped in a white bath towel and was drying her hair with a hair dryer when Jiang Zhe came up.


    Perhaps it was nervousness, she got up too quickly. The bath towel unwrapped and fell to the ground.


    Qin Qing:


    Jiang Zhe:


    Qin Qing: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"


    Jiang Zhe hurriedly turned his back. The man who had always been calm showed some rare panic, "Im not looking at you, wear some clothes."


    Qin Qing: !!!


    An inexplicable anger rose, and Qin Qing forgot her previous shyness. She strode over with big steps, and forcefully turned Jiang Zhes face, angrily saying: "Im yourwfully wedded wife. If you dont look at me, then who do you want to look at?"


    Jiang Zhe:


    Before his eyes were the white tender flesh of a young woman. Jiang Zhes eyes grew darker and he looked down, admitting his wrongs: I was wrong. I want to see you.


    Qin Qing snorted, that was better.


    Jiang Zhe quirked up his lips and handed over the red wine. "Want a cup?"


    Qin Qing: "En."


    Jiang Zhe turned away and took a new towel for her.


    Qin Qing finally realised what she did, and her face turned red.


    Jiang Zhe poured the red wine and handed it to her.


    Alcohol makes a person courageous; this sentence was especially suitable for Qin Qing.


    Her cheeks were red and obviously drunk.The skin exposed outside the bath towel was white and smooth, and almost no pores were visible.


    Without embarrassment, her eyes shimmered with emotions and seduction.


    Jiang Zhe ufortably avoided her sight, unconsciously taking another sip of red wine.


    Qin Qing saw him drinking andughed, taking another wine ss. The red wine touched her lips, outlining its crescent-like smile, extremely red and attractive.


    Suddenly, the woman moved in closer. The distance was too close. Jiang Zhe could even smell the fragrance of her body, not knowing whether it was the smell of soap, or her own natural smell.


    She blew a hot breath at Jiang Zhe''s ear. The ear visibly turned red. Qin Qing giggled as if she had found something fun.


    Jiang Zhes eyes turned slightly red and he grabbed her.He thought that she would behave, but he didnt expect the other party to take the opportunity to extend her hands into his robes.


    Although Qin Qing was drunk, she stilled retained a little consciousness.


    Just like this moment.


    She touched the man''s chest in a daring manner. She could clearly feel the person''s body temperature and smooth skin.Usually, she absolutely didnt have this courage, at most she thought about it = =


    The skin under her hand was soft and supple. She could even feel the faint muscles hidden beneath.


    She didnt need to look to know, this must be the kind of body that looked slim when dressed, but had muscles and a good figure when undressed.


    She really earned a lot, Qin Qing sweetly thought.


    Towards the silly smile on his beloved persons face, some of the restless thoughts that Jiang Zhe had was popped like a balloon, dissipating into silence.


    Jiang Zhe:


    He sighed. If Qin Qing really took the lead tonight, then he was afraid that this wedding night wouldnt happen.


    He gently ced the woman on the bed and turned off the light. He wanted to turn off the bedsidemp, but Qin Qing was unwilling.


    Jiang Zhe could only let it be.


    Anyway, what he would do would remain the same.


    A night full of spring.


    The next day, sunlight filtered into the bedroom. Qin Qing woke up in confusion, groaning.


    Oh, her waist was so sore. A certain unspeakable ce was also in pain.


    Eh, pain?


    She blinked fiercely.Before her eyes was the azure ceiling. She blinked. Across her waist was a hand, and it wasnt hers.


    She tilted her head slightly, and a handsome man''s sleeping face appeared directly before her eyes.


    Qin Qing: !!!


    Mom!!!


    She quickly turned her head around, closing her eyes tightly.


    Jiang Zhe was awakened by her movements. His eyshes trembled and he opened her eyes.


    He wanted to take back the hand ced on Qin Qing''s waist, but he couldnt move. Under the quilt, someone caught him.


    Jiang Zheughed lowly, the lowughter seeminglying from his throat, pleasant to hear.


    Qin Qing only felt herself melting.


    Jiang Zhe stretched out her index finger and poked her face. "If youre awake, why dont you get up? Do you want a good morning kiss?"


    Qin Qing: Pretending to sleep.


    Jiang Zhes mouth rose into a smile and he leaned over to kiss her.


    The next second, Qin Qing opened her eyes.


    Jiang Zhe touched her cheeks and asked, "Can you get up?"


    Qin Qing: "Yes."


    They were going to visit both sides parents today.


    Jiang Zhe got up and got out of bed, picking a set of formal ck suitfrom the closet. As he was about to wear it, Qin Qing opened her mouth.


    Qin Qing: "Were going to see our parents, youll look too serious wearing this."


    Jiang Zhe quickly changed to a ash grey set. Qin Qing pulled the nket over her face andughed secretly.


    Two minutester, he walked to the bed with afortable dress. "Do you think this set looks good?"


    Qin Qing nodded.


    Jiang Zhe: "How about wearing this set today?"


    Qin Qing stared at him for a moment and nodded.


    Jiang Zhe''s face didnt change, but there was a smile in his eyes.


    He was worried that Qin Qing still felt unwell, wanting to stand at a side to help. However, someone was too shy and kicked him out.


    Jiang Zhe knocked on his forehead outside the door, shook his head and went downstairs, smiling.


    After the young couple had breakfast, it was already ten o''clock.


    At the Jiang familys main house, Mother Jiang and Father Jiang waited for the newlyweds toe visit and pay respects. As a result, a whole tter of snacks was eaten, but no one came. Just as Mother Jiang wanted to call, the helper came to report that Jiang Zhe and Qin Qing came.


    Mother Jiang couldnt restrain her happiness, hurriedly asking Father Jiang: "Do I look alright?"


    Father Jiang: "Yes, youre very beautiful today, dignified and generous."


    Mother Jiang couldnt help but smile at him. "Smooth talker."

    <strong>The Tyrant CEOs Small Delicate Wife (9)</strong>


    Walking into the Jiang familys house, Qin Qing face was tinged with embarrassment. She secretly nced at Jiang Zhe, and Jiang Zhe gave her an encouraging smile before she said: "Dad, Mom."


    Father Jiang and Mother Jiangughed and beckoned: "Ah, Qing Qing,e here."


    Qin Qing pursed her lips and moved over with small steps. Mother Jiang took her hand, satisfaction almost overflowing from her eyes. Such an affectionate action, if one didnt know, they would think that Qin Qing was her own daughter.


    A daughter-inw was also half a daughter, this saying was right.


    The Jiang parents gave her a big red packet. After pulling her away to chat a little more, they left after eating lunch. In the afternoon, the young couple went to the Qin family again.


    Rushing around the whole day, they only returned home at night. Qin Qing copsed on the couch in exhaustion, not wanting to move.


    Jiang Zhe asked the maid to cook a light porridge for her, and coaxed her to eat.


    Qin Qing recovered some strength and whispered: "Im exhausted today."


    Jiang Zhe petted her head. "Alright, were done with that now. You can rx tomorrow onwards."


    "But you promised me previously that we would go on a honeymoon." Qin Qing looked up suddenly, fearing that he would change his mind.


    Jiang Zhe was helpless: "Honeymoon also needs energy. In your current state, you wouldnt be able to move even before stepping out of the door."


    Jiang Zhe: "Rest assured, I wont turn my back on what I promised you."


    Qin Qing: "Then okay. Ill rest for a few days. You have to keep your word, not allowed to regret it."


    Jiang Zhe: "Good. Go wash up and go to bed early."


    Qin Qing walked into the master bedroom bathroom. Jiang Zhe turned and went the next door.


    When Qin Qing walked out wrapped up in a bath towel, she found that her husband had already showered, and was wearing a nightgown, sitting on the edge of the bed to wipe his hair.


    Qin Qing walked over and touched his hair, it was already half dried.


    Qin Qing teased him: "Its really convenient for you men, not even needing a hair dryer."


    Jiang Zhe took the opportunity to pull her down to sit, getting up and picking up the hair dryer, "This way I can help my wife dry her hair."


    Under the hair dryers "wuwu" sound, Qin Qing closed her eyes and tilted her head up, her face full of enjoyment.


    Jiang Zhe''s fingertips brushed across her hair, and she felt his movements were gentle.


    Just like him.


    Qin Qing: (*)


    Happy.


    The next day, Qin Qing was still asleep when Jiang Zhe got up. These days, because he was busy with the wedding, his work has already piled up a lot. Since he became a CEO and enjoyed the treatment of one, he naturally had to be responsible for this job.


    Only he didnt expect that on the third day of his newlywed life, he had just entered thepany''s door, when he was stopped by a woman.


    "Jiang Zhe, youre really ruthless, doing as you said."


    The employees who happened to be walking in to work:


    Theres gossip?


    Unfortunately, the CEO was just there. Even if there was gossip, they didnt dare to listen.


    Jiang Zhe was deeply aware of the viciousness of people. The more you hide, the more curious people are, and they start to spread rumours. Hed much rather be honest from the start. Anyway, the original soul didnt have the time to mess around before he took over.


    Jiang Zhes face was cold. He looked at his watch, "Miss Qiao, I still have eight minutes before work starts. If theres anything you want to say, I hope you can make a long story short."


    Qiao Shans face almost slipped a little. She said: "Jiang Zhe, must you treat me this way? Have you forgotten that we used to be "


    Jiang Zhe:" Miss Qiao, be careful with your words. Im already married."


    This sentence seemed to stimte Qiao Shan and she screamed: "Its just a business marriage, theres no love between the both of you. Jiang Zhe, I know, you don''t love that wife of yours.


    Jiang Zhe was angered toughter by her. He looked at her mockingly, Who told you that I don''t love my wife.


    Qiao Shan: "You previously didnt"


    Jiang Zhe interrupted her and deliberately raised his voice. "To know oneself is true progress. Youe here during my newlywed period to talk about unfounded nonsense that causes others to think errant thoughts. I, Jiang Zhe, feel that Im not that incapable to the point that I need to use a business marriage to maintain thepany. I married my wife for only one reason  I love her. If you continue to spout nonsense in the future, then dont me me for suing you for malicious nder."


    Jiang Zhe: "Ive said my piece, goodbye."


    Qiao Shan hurriedly stopped him: "Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe, you can''t do this to me, I, I am preg"


    "Qiao Shan."


    Qiao Shan: "?"


    Jiang Zhe looked down at her, "I have a very good memory. Even if Im drunk, I can still recall the things that happened. Not to mention the fact that societys technology is so developed, whats true and false can easily be found out."


    Jiang Zhe: "Im not a calctive person. But if others are knocking down my door again and again, I also wont be polite with them. Sometimes, politeness is not weakness. I hope you can absorb this sentence. Goodbye."


    Qiao Shan watched the man walking away, stunned. However, there was not much sadness in her eyes. Disbelief filled her eyes.


    No, it should not be like this.


    She was the chosen daughter of this world. All the good men should revolve around her.


    She should be the treasure in the palms of these men. Doing nothing, eating well every day, living in a big vi, wearing famous brands, and then doing up her beautiful makeup, she should be like a princess, living happily for the rest of her life.


    She shouldnt be like this, painstakingly working, the original men revolving around her leaving her one by one.


    "No!!!" She couldnt ept such a result.


    If she still had to slog her life away at work, living at the lowest point, despite transmigrating into a book, then why would she want to transmigrate into a book? At least in the original world, she still had her father and mother who loved her. In this world, she had nothing.


    Qiao Shans sudden outburst shocked the other people. They watched in horror as the woman violently rushing out.


    Employees: (  |||) _ Scared me to death


    But this has nothing to do with the Jiang Group.


    Even if someone wants to make an article about this, Jiang Zhe put the surveince video on the Inte, letting the rumours die out on their own.


    However, Qin Qing was still slightly jealous, because she knew about Qiao Shans existence.


    No matter how much Jiang Zhe tried to coax her, he couldnt.In the end, he could only reduce his working hours, doing his work in advance, and then pack his bags and bring his wife on a honeymoon.


    Who knew that once they went on this trip, he couldnt reverse it. Qin Qing hadpletely fallen in love with travelling. In the future, she would always fuss to make Jiang Zhe bring her out.


    Even if they had children and grandchildrenter on, Qin Qing still likewise enjoyed it.


    Jiang Zhe had always been reluctant to refuse her. Even until thest moment of his life, he agreed to her request and lived a minute more than she did.


    Just because she couldn''t bear to watch her beloved go first.


    After Jiang Zhes death, his soul separated.


    "Jiang Zhe, did you even listen to me? I emphasized it to you many times. I dislike you going alone to help other girls very, very, very, very much."


    Jiang Zhe was stunned for a moment, a series of angry hollering making him dizzy.


    He shook his body and his head, before feeling a lot better.


    However, he wasnt sure how his behaviour had thoroughly angered the girl facing him.


    The girl had her hair tied up in a tall ponytail and wore a cool jacket. But at this moment, her bright eyes were full of tears.


    "This again, youre always like this. No matter how much I say, you dont listen. If thats the case, then do what you want, I dont care."


    Saying so, she turned around and was about to leave.


    Jiang Zhe hurriedly stopped her, admitting his mistakes no matter what happened, "Im wrong, sorry. This is thest time, forgive me, okay?"


    The gentle male voice rang through her ear, a familiar voice. She had heard it for a whole two years. She initially thought that she would be tired of it, but hearing it again now, she was still defeated by it.


    "Jiang Zhe, you bastard, bastard, I hate you, you are a scum wuwu"


    Jiang Zhe pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back, "I was wrong, sorry. Sorry, its my fault.


    Thegirl wailed in his arms, catching the attention of other people. When Jiang Zhe gave an apologetic smile, the others understood in seconds, this was a lovers tiff.They dispersed.


    With this buffer time, Jiang Zhe could also organize his thoughts.


    "Im just friends with her, don''t think too much."


    "Dont make a fuss over nothing and randomly be jealous. Jing Jing broke up in the middle of the night. She has no friends, only me thats why I had to apany her."


    "Ling Ling''s period came and her stomach hurt extremely badly. Her boyfriend was not around, and she had left home miles away to study here. If I dont help her, then who would?"


    "Dont be so selfish and suspicious. I only respect women. Theres nothing between me and them, they all have boyfriends."


    "Yue Yue is just my sister, whos closer to me than my own biological sister. When something happened to her, naturally I have to help her."


    ""


    Finished recalling what happened.


    Jiang Zhe:


    The original soul was really refreshingly scummy.


    Luckily, Pei Yun was blind, otherwise who would keep this garbage for two years.


    Oh, Pei Yun was the original souls girlfriend.


    If Jiang Zhe arrived half an hourter, the two of them would probably have broken up.


    If he had not instantly met that pair of familiar eyes, he might have just let it happen.


    But now, he would put in all the effort that he could.


    Letting his girlfriend go now and then chasing her back would really be like going through hellfire.

    <strong>The Single-Minded Boyfriend (1)</strong>


    Jiang Zhe hugged the crying Pei Yun, continuallyforting her. After half an hour, he finally coaxed her to stop crying.


    Jiang Zhe wiped away the tears on her face, "Look at you, youve cried yourself into a spotted cat."


    Pei Yun red at him, "Isnt it your fault."


    "Yes, yes, it''s my fault. I promise that this will be thest time I make this mistake. There wont be any next time." Jiang Zhe continually showed his loyalty.


    Pei Yun said suspiciously: "Really?"


    Jiang Zhe almost raised his hand to swear to the heavens, "Really, truer than real gold."


    Thinking about it, he continued: "I used to be confused, always feeling that we will be together forever, so I unintentionally neglected you many times. This time, your determination to break up with me really scared me. APei, you can observe me. I really, really will notmit the same mistake again, so dont break up with me ok?"


    He looked with anticipation at Pei Yun, his eyes full of sincerity.


    Pei Yun awkwardly turned her head away and coughed, "It depends on your performance."


    Jiang Zhe nodded heavily, "Right, I just received my sry a few days ago. I remember thest time we went shopping, you liked a bag, let''s go buy it today."


    Pei Yun: "Ah???"


    Really going?


    Jiang Zhe had already pulled her to the side of the road. He stretched out and stopped a taxi. After getting on the taxi, he said to the driver: "Ill have to trouble you to go to Times Mall."


    Driver: "Alright."


    The aircon in the taxi was just nice. Pei Yun had just vented her emotions, and with the right temperature now, shey down on the seat and became drowsy.


    Jiang Zhe reached out to hold her, and Pei Yun suddenly opened her eyes wide.


    Jiang Zhe: "I think youll be morefortable leaning on my body."


    Pei Yun pressed her lips together, stared at him for a while, but still gradually leaned over.


    The fare calctor on the taxi increased regrly. If the original soul was here, he would probably have been distressed by it.


    Jiang Zhes face was expressionless as he secretly calcted how much money he had left.


    The original soul did indeed just get his sry, but he had treated it as small cash and spent it all on his close female friends.


    Not a single dor was left for his actual girlfriend and his parents.


    Not only that, the original souls parents had to add on some living expenses for him every month.


    Jiang Zhe:


    He really shouldnt have any expectations for this scum.


    On the original souls card now, there could only be at most a hundred dors left. And there was still half a month left to the next sry payout.


    Tsk.


    Jiang Zhe: "System, do me a favour."


    System: "Sorry, the user you are calling is not avable."


    Jiang Zhe:


    Jiang Zhe: " I was wrong, I shouldnt have been fierce to you thest time."


    System: "Hmph ^"


    Jiang Zhe: "The system is considerate, kind, cute, clever and big-hearted, the number one system in the system world. Unparalleled in the heavens or on earth, humans love you upon seeing you and flowers bloom upon seeing you. As soon as you appear, all hosts will trip over their feet for you."


    System: "o(*////////*)q"


    System: "Jiang Zhe, youre too much, blindly saying such big truths, how annoying ~~ "


    Jiang Zhes mouth twitched.


    Jiang Zhe: "System is the cutest in the universe, can I ask the cutest for a favour?"


    The system said arrogantly: "Speak."


    Jiang Zhe: "Can you help me convert the gold bars in my space into money in this world?"


    System: "Can. But I have to charge a fee."


    Jiang Zhe had an ominous premonition in his heart.


    System: "I wont cheat you. Your gold bars, how about I use $15 per gram to calcte?"


    Jiang Zhe silently swallowed a mouthful of blood and smiled: "Thank you."


    System: "Youre wee, after all, you are my host (#^.^#)."


    Jiang Zhe: = =


    Jiang Zhe exchanged two kilograms of gold bars, but he only received a measly sum of $30,000.


    He wiped his face. Forget it, its difficult to buy emergency supplies in times of need even with a thousand gold. Having $30,000 is not that bad.


    An hourter, they arrived at the Times Mall. Jiang Zhe paid the bill before gently shaking Pei Yun awake.


    Jiang Zhe said softly: "APei, were here. Lets go."


    "Oh." Pei Yun subconsciously touched her wallet, but Jiang Zhe stopped her, "Ive already paid the fare."


    Pei Yun found it a little strange, but still held back and didnt say anything, following Jiang Zhe into the mall.


    Today was Tuesday, there were not many people in the mall. Jiang Zhe followed the route in his memory, and found the bag shop that they were interested in previously.


    Regretfully, that bag had already been sold.


    Pei Yun secretly pulled on Jiang Zhes clothes, "Forget it, let''s go. I dont want it any more."


    Jiang Zhe patted her hand and scanned the bags in the store quietly, before finally walking over to a small ck shoulder bag.


    He turned back to the staff: "Ill trouble you to pack that bag for me."


    The staff smiled widely, "Yes, sir."


    Jiang Zhe went to the counter to swipe his card, but it was taken from him. Pei Yun bit her lips and advised: "Jiang Zhe, I don''t like the bag very much, let''s go."


    She had just snuck a nce. Such a bag cost 1680, the one she was interested in previously was only around three hundred.


    Both of them were still students. A bag costing over a thousand was definitely over their budgets.


    Jiang Zhe smiled and said: "APei, give me the card, I know what Im doing."


    Pei Yun didnt move.


    The two stood in a deadlock and the staff also felt a little awkward.


    Jiang Zhe sighed and reached out: "APei, give me the card."


    "Didnt I already say it? I just got my sry. If this money isnt spent on you, then Ill spend it on others."


    Pei Yuns face changed immediately, You dare?


    Dont dare, dont dare. Jiang Zhe waved his hand, So give me the card. I feel good spending money on you.


    The staff nearby also persuaded, "Miss, your boyfriend is so good to you, don''t reject his feelings."


    "Yeah, if my boyfriend is willing to spend money on me, I would be so happy."


    ""


    The staff continuously persuaded her, along with Jiang Zhes sincere eyes, Pei Yun still returned the card to him.


    Under the staffs happy gazes, the two people held the bag and walked out of the shop.


    Pei Yun carried the bag, both happy and worried, "Look at you, spending money recklessly again. Youll be eating dirt the rest of the month."


    After a while, she said again: "If you have no money, just tell me. I still have some money on hand. Don''t save too much, its not good to eat poorly and ruin your body."


    Jiang Zhe held her hand and squeezed it, "Rest assured, I won''t go hungry."


    "It''s almost noon now,let''s go to that seafood restaurant to eat."


    Pei Yun hurriedly stopped him, "Jiang Zhe, you really dont want to live for the rest of the month?"


    Jiang Zhe: ()


    "APei, lend me your handphone for a while."


    Pei Yun was confused, but her boyfriend had just forked out a lot for her. Though she felt heart pangs because of it, but to say she wasnt happy was definitely a lie. So, she didnt hesitate to pass her handphone over to Jiang Zhe.


    Jiang Zhe turned his back to her and his hands moved in a flurry of motions. In a short moment, he passed it back to her.


    Pei Yun was speechless, "What are you doing, so secretive." She looked down at her phone. The screen clearly showed that Jiang Zhe had just transferred her five thousand.


    Pei Yun: (  |||)_


    Pei Yun: You


    Jiang Zhe showedher his handphone too. The screen showed that there was still savings left, one two three four five, damn, there was actually over twenty thousand remaining.


    Pei Yun was stunned, blurting out: "Where did you get so much money?"


    Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows, "Naturally, I earned it outside. If not, how could that small bit of cash from that part-time job be enough?"


    The emotions in Pei Yuns heart burst out and she hugged him, "Jiang Zhe, youre so amazing."


    Jiang Zhe patted her back and coaxed: "Can we go eat at the seafood restaurant now?"


    Pei Yun: "En!!!"


    Thetwo walked sweetly into the seafood restaurant. They had to pay first before eating.


    Jiang Zhe spent a thousand dors in one breath. Pei Yuns heart was bleeding, and she vowed to eat her worth.


    Jiang Zhe let her do as she pleased, "Alright, lets eat the expensive dishes first before eating the cheaper ones."


    Pei Yun nodded like woodpecker.She went to the counter and took two abalones, four crabs, and a te of steamed lobsters. Jiang Zhe went to get two steaks and a bottle of red wine.


    Although it couldntpare to the exquisite and expensive meals he ate as a CEO, but listening to the girl vividly talking about some interesting things and tasting the cheap red wine, it also gave him a different feeling in his heart.


    They ate for a full two hours before Pei Yun finally couldnt eat any more and left with Jiang Zhe.


    Jiang Zhe saw that she was really ufortable and helped her to a soft chair to rest, smiling uncontrobly: "Youre really too much. If you cant eat any more, then dont eat any more. Look at how your stomach hurts now."


    Pei Yun pursed her lips, not talking.


    It was rare that she got to eat such a good meal. She only wanted to eat a little more.


    Jiang Zhe gently rubbed her stomach rhythmically in circles.


    Pei Yuny in his arms, her head nodding forward a little, really wanting to take a short nap.


    Jiang Zhe coaxed her: "If youre tired, just sleep. Ill be beside you."


    Pei Yun: "No, its easy to gain weight if you sleep after eating a full meal. I dont want to grow fat, I still want to lose weight."


    Her voice was soft and low. Jiang Zhe had to lean in close enough to hear it.


    He kissed the girl''s hair and said: "APei, be good. Youll only have energy to lose weight after eating and sleeping. Rest a little. After you wake up, well go exercise, guarantee you wont gain weight."


    Pei Yuns mind had already drifted off into a blur daze. Hearing wont gain weight, she couldnt hold on any longer and fell asleep.

    <strong>The Single-Minded Boyfriend (2)</strong>


    Around four oclock in the afternoon, Pei Yun gradually woke up. A mans well-defined and good looking jawline entered her sight.


    Jiang Zhe noticed that she woke up and looked down at her, "Did you sleep well?"


    Their eyes interlocked. The mans eyes were full of tenderness. Pei Yun turned away in embarrassment and got up from his embrace with a quiet cough.


    The stomach that had distended at noon felt much better now. She unconsciously rubbed it, and casually asked, "What time is it?"


    Jiang Zhe blinked, his face filled with sincerity: "4.20pm."


    4.20pm 4pmpm


    They had finished lunch at two oclock, and now it was already 4.20pm. That means, she has slept for more than two hours.


    God, going to sleep directly after eating, how much weight will she put on today!!!


    Pei Yun hit Jiang Zhes shoulder in embarrassed anger, muttering: Its all your fault. If I grow fat, no one will want me anymore.


    Jiang Zhe held her fists and kissed it, Yes, yes, its my fault. Whether APei is slim or chubby, I like it all.


    Pei, youre the fat one. Her mouth spouted rude words, but she didnt take back her hand from his grip, clearly showing that her heart felt otherwise.


    Jiang Zhe also didnt want to reveal her true thoughts, saying, "Lets go to the bowling alley to y next."


    "It consumes physical strength and guarantees that you will not be fat," he added.


    Pei Yun stopped him and whispered, "I haven''t yed that before."


    In short, she didnt know how to bowl.


    Jiang Zhe held her hands and smiled refreshingly: "It doesn''t matter, I know how to. I will teach you."


    Pei Yun: "Ah??"


    The bowling alleys were all charged by rounds. Jiang Zhe demonstrated once before letting Pei Yun try on her own.


    At first, Pei Yun didn''t grasp the skill needed, and the balls she threw out alwaysnded in the gutter. She lost confidence in herself.


    Jiang Zheforted her: "It doesn''t matter, practicing will help you to develop the skills. Youll get the hang of it with a few more tries."


    Pei Yun thought about it and felt that it was true, eventually improving. Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark.


    She rubbed her grumbling stomach and was a bit stunned.


    Pei Yun: "Sorry, I"


    Jiang Zhepulled her right hand over and massaged it gently. "You, ah, youre still so stubborn. After practicing for such a long time, how will you eatter?"


    Before he mentioned it, it was still fine. The moment he mentioned it, Pei Yun finally noticed that her right hand was extremely sore.


    Jiang Zhesquinted at her and teased, "You only realise its sore now?"


    Pei Yun looked back at him pitifully.


    Jiang Zheughed: "You, ah."


    Two people walked sweetly into a BBQ store. After dinner, Jiang Zhe gged down a taxi, and the two returned to school.


    Jiang Zhe walked her to the female dorm and waved goodbye to Pei Yun.


    At this time, a few girls came from afar. Their eyes lit up when they saw Jiang Zhe.


    "Brother Jiang ~~~" The women deliberately adjusted their voices cutely. Jiang Zhe heard it, and felt his scalp going numb.


    In a sh, Jiang Zhe twisted his body and avoided the persons warm hug.


    Lin Yues face became strange, "Brother Jiang, whats wrong? Why are you so cold to Yue Yue?"


    As she spoke, her lips pouted and her eyes were filled withints.


    However, Jiang Zhe really wanted to facepalm. It was really too fake.


    Jiang Zhe''s feet shifted, coldly replying, "Miss Lin, men and women shouldnt be so intimate with each other. I hope you will pay attention to it next time."


    Lin Yues expression looked like she had been struck by thunder, and she even wanted to reach out to touch Jiang Zhe''s forehead, "Are you alright? I havent seen you in a few days, how did you change so much?


    Jiang Zhe felt awkward.Just as he was thinking how to deal with the situation, Pei Yun returned.


    She walked between the two and red at Lin Yue: "What do you want to do to my boyfriend?"


    She had seen everything just now. Jiang Zhe was clearly avoiding Lin Yue, but this woman was still trying to climb up her boyfriend.


    He could bear it, but she couldnt.


    Lin Yue knew about Pei Yun. She was surprised when she saw Pei Yun suddenly appearing out of nowhere, but she soon figured it out.


    No wonder Brother Jiang was trying to avoid her, there was a tigress Pei Yun nearby.


    Lin Yue gave Jiang Zhe an understanding look before bringing her girlfriends back to the dorm together.


    Pei Yun: Angry like a pufferfish.


    Jiang Zhe:


    He couldnt avoid this usation = =


    Jiang Zhe immediately expressed his loyalty, taking out his phone in front of Pei Yun to cklist those that needed to be cklisted, deleted those that needed to be deleted, and those lousy friends of his


    Cough, he forgot. The original soul didnt have any mens numbers other than his fathers.


    However, this was also good. In the future, as long as he doted on Pei Yun and stayed away from those women, no one would know his previous bad deeds.


    Lin Yues words just now really shocked him into a cold sweat.


    Looking at her boyfriends upright behaviour, Pei Yuns anger dissipated. She snorted and pulled his cor, threatening: Im warning you, youre still under probation. During this time, if you dare to mess around,


    Jiang Zhe: "I don''t dare, dont dare. Ill die if I ever broke up with APei."


    Pei Yun hid her smile, Smooth talker. Alright, its not early anymore, go back."


    Jiang Zhe: "En, Ill see you again."


    Pei Yun turned around and happily returned to the dorm. Her roommates were busy reading novels and watching dramas. Seeing that she had returned, they only raised their heads in greeting.


    Ten minutester, a scream of excitement burst out from the bedroom before quickly stopping.


    Three girls were huddled together, taking turns to touch Pei Yuns new bag.


    "My goodness, this is the newest edition of the year. I read on the inte, its actually priced at least a thousand dors. My entire monthly living allowance is only just a little over a thousand."


    "This losers eyes are already weeping tears of blood from jealousy."


    Wuwu, APei, did you win the lottery, please spare some."


    "APei, you found a new boyfriend right? Hes really generous, much better than that previous Jiang Zhe."


    "Thats right, thats right. APei, you should have changed earlier, suffering in vain for so long."


    "Yes, in the future, when Jiang Zhe that scum sees how well APei is living, I wonder if he will die from jealousy, hahahahaha"


    Pei Yun:


    Pei Yun coughed lightly, interrupting her roommates chatter, "That, um, the bag was bought by Jiang Zhe."


    Theroom was silent. Pei Yun seemed to hear a flock of crows flying above her head, going caw caw.


    "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"


    A burst ofughter broke out inside the room.


    "Wow, this is really the best joke I have heard this year."


    "APei, what kind of hallucinatory drug did that scum Jiang inject you with, to make you so, cough, so delusional?"


    "Yes, APei, Jiang Zhe really isnt a good person. Not to mention others, he has a girlfriend yet he still apanies those other women old and young alike, his character obviously fails."


    The world doesntck ofrge upright trees, you dont have to love such a crooked tree."


    Her roommates took turns to advise her, pulling her back from the thorny road.


    Pei Yun helplessly held her forehead, Really, this bag was bought by Jiang Zhe.


    Her three roommates looked at her with an expression of "caring for the mentally handicapped".


    Pei Yun also felt very helpless, and could only show them the receipt.


    Her three roommates:


    Oh my god!!!


    It really was Jiang Zhe, and he even spent five thousand in one go.


    "My God, is this world changing too fast, or am Igging behind society?"


    "The prodigalson changing for the better actually happened in real life, this is the first time Ive seen it in my whole life."


    "First time seen 1"


    "First time seen 2"


    Pei Yun patted them, "Dont be so mean."


    After confirming that the bag was indeed bought by Jiang Zhe, the shock wore off and her three roommates were filled with a deep curiosity.


    They threw aside their novels and dramas, surrounding Pei Yun to witness the miracle.


    "Quick, tell us. How did you  him, let us sisters learn a little something."


    Pei Yun was a little embarrassed, lowering her eyes and chuckled, "Actually, it wasnt much. Its just that I wanted to break up with him and he got anxious, saying no matter what he wouldnt break up. After that, he brought me shopping and eating, even transferring money back to me. In the afternoon, we even went to a bowling alley to y."


    Her three roommates face were filled with a youre lying expression.


    Pei Yun also got agitated, emphasizing: "Its true, Jiang Zhe told me personally. He used to think that I would always be with him for a lifetime, so he neglected me sometimes. Now, hes especially scared of me breaking up with him, so hes being extremely good to me.


    Her three roommates: (o)


    Really expanded their horizons!!


    "No wonder people often say that one doesnt notice whats beside them in their pursuit for the unobtainable*. Indeed, men are all so cunning." Her roommate sighed, a chorus of agreement immediately echoing.


    "APei, this time you must increase your standards, if not, Jiang Zhe will fall back into his old ways.


    Pei Yun thought about it. So thats how it is. Solemnly, she nodded.


    *


    I tried to trante it as best as I can understand it in the Englishnguage. Literally, it means that the one being loved has no fear (of their partner leaving them), and would thus constantly chase after those (people) that they cannot obtain.

 Chapter 40

    Chapter 40


    <strong>The Single-Minded Boyfriend (3)</strong>


    The rtionship between the original soul and his roommates was not very good. Jiang Zhe also did not take the initiative to talk to them, letting everything go with the flow.


    However, even so, his roommates jaws dropped in dazed surprise.


    Roommate A: "Hey, Jiang Zhe actually didnt fool around with those women today?"


    Roommate B: "Yeah, usually when hees back, his phone doesnt leave his hand. Damn, that voice, so fake, making people disgusted."


    Roommate C: "Don''t be happy so quickly. If he gets up in the middle of the night, tsk tsk thats the worst."


    Roommate B: "Damn, Im really exhausted today. If he dares to get up in the middle of the night today to talk to those women, Ill fight him."


    Theother two shrugged, looking helpless.


    Jiang Zheid in bed, his heart feeling very tired.


    However, life was always full of "surprises" everywhere.


    At two o''clock in the middle of the night, Jiang Zhe''s phone suddenly rang. Although he cklisted those women, but there were always those fish that slipped through the.


    In a matter of minutes, his inbox exploded with messages.


    Fortunately, Jiang Zhe muted his phone in advance, otherwise he may have be a corpse in the dorm tonight.


    Apanying Pei Yun to shop during the day, he was also very tired. Since he was sleepy, he might as well shut off his phone.


    The world became quiet and peaceful.


    He got a good nights sleep. Getting up the next morning, he went around his usual morning routine, not even touching his phone once.


    Under his roommates surprised sight, he walked out of the dorm to school.


    In the middle of the road, he was stopped by a few girls. Leading them was Lin Yue, who he saw yesterday night.


    Lin Yue: "Brother Jiang, what''s wrong with you? Why didnt you pick up my calls or reply my messages? What exactly happened to you?"


    "Yeah, Jiang Zhe, we are best friends. If you have any problems, you can tell us. We will definitely help you."


    "Did Pei Yun anger you again? Dont worry, we will go find her and exin it to her clearly."


    "We all have boyfriends and wont snatch from her. How can she be so small-minded, unable to ept anyone?"


    "Thats right, we are innocent and not afraid of being questioned by people. Come, lets go find Pei Yun."


    Jiang Zhe: .


    Jiang Zhe acknowledged their ability to talk to themselves.


    He raised his voice: "Wait a minute."


    It was currently morning. Students walked to and fro about the campus. Because of theplicated rtionship between Pei Yun, Jiang Zhe and a group of women, Jiang Zhe was quite famous in the school.


    Well, the fame of a fool.


    Unknowingly, the five of them were surrounded by a crowd.


    The four girls opposite him seemed to be a little nervous. Jiang Zhe was just thinking about how to phrase his thoughts to save everyones face. After all, women had thinner faces, and for such an ambiguous rtionship, the original soul had to bear arge part of the responsibility.


    But!


    Jiang Zhe never imagined. Surrounded by the crowd, those four girls had a brief moment of anxiousness before they got excited.


    Their eyes lit up, and one of them even started crying.


    Jiang Zhe: [''_'']


    Lin Yue: "Brother Jiang, don''t worry about us. Although Pei Yun is violent, petty and unreasonable, she is still your girlfriend. We will definitely amodate her."


    "Yue Yue is right. After all, Jiang Zhe''s temper is too good, thats why she got used to being so arrogant and getting her way."


    "We are best friends. We will definitely not make things difficult for you."


    "Its nothing to wrong us a little, as long as youre fine."


    ""


    Onlookers: Wow


    Jiang Zhe: !!!


    This y, he gave up.


    Jiang Zhe coughed lightly and caught everyone''s attention. He seemed very troubled, frowning: "APei is a very good girl, you shouldnt nder her."


    Lin Yue: "Brother Jiang, we didnt say that Pei Yun isnt"


    Jiang Zhe raised his hand to stop her, and his frown rxed, "APei is very good, lively, cheerful and optimistic. I was blind before, and didnt see her good points."


    "The old saying goes well, not treasuring what youve obtained. I used to think that I would spend a lifetime with her, so I had no fear. Many times, I neglected her and made her sad. Now, I understand that she is a very important person to me."


    "So, for everyones sake in the future, it would be better for us to maintain a distance."


    After saying his piece, he bowed slightly to the crowd and bypassed the four women.


    Lin Yue cried in anger, "He is really ruthless, to draw a line between us just for a Pei Yun."


    The onlookers rolled their eyes. Who do you think you are, being so ambiguously intimate, even wanting to sneak around the other persons real girlfriend.


    Wei Lingforted her junior sister: "Forget it, men are all like this. For a woman, they can be heartless. Lets observe the situation. When Jiang Zhees back to find us, we wont care about him."


    LinYue nodded heavily: "I won''t recognize him as a brother anymore, hmph."


    Wei Ling: "Let''s go, go eat a good meal. Don''t be upset because of a stinky man."


    Onlookers: -_-#


    The farce ended here, but the consequences continued to ferment.


    At noon, Pei Yuns three roommates came to her with a phone.


    "APei, did Jiang Zhe reallye to his senses?"


    Pei Yun: "Ah?"


    "Look at this. Saying so, they passed the phone over, the screen showing the video of Jiang Zhe and his close female friends rifying the truth.


    Pei Yun listened to the gentle voice of the man in the video, and quietly blushed.


    "Hey, hey, hey, hes really turning over a new leaf."


    Hes not putting on a show, is he?"


    Pei, if hes really putting on a show, when the boat sinks in the future, his face would get pped pa pa pa, even thinking about it hurts."


    Moreover, this time Jiang Zhe even went all in to keep APei by his side, I think the chances that the prodigal son has turned good is quite high."


    "


    Several girls were talking andughing in the cafeteria. Suddenly one of them winked atPei Yun.


    Pei Yun was baffled.


    "APei." A familiar voice came from behind her. Pei Yun looked back. In a sh, her roommates ran away.


    Jiang Zhesat next to her with a te full of food, "Are you free this weekend?"


    Pei Yun lowered her head, not daring to look at him, quietly replying: "Yes, why?"


    Jiang Zhe ced a chicken leg on her te while saying, "Go out with me."


    Pei Yun picked up the chicken leg and took two bites, before saying: "I remember that you have to work during the weekend."


    Jiang Zhe: "About that, I quit that job."


    Jiang Zhe: "I have an idea. I want to start my own business."


    Pei Yun became dazed: "Starting your own business?"


    There were many college students starting their own businesses these days, but not many who seeded.


    Pei Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say a few sentences to discourage him. However, once the words made it to her mouth, it changed, "Ok. Youre still young anyway. Its good to practice more."


    Jiang Zhe bit into a mushroom and gently nodded, a smile surfacing in his eyes.


    No matter who saw it, this was a loving couple.


    Lin Yue carried a te and snorted. "I don''t want to eat anymore." Throwing the te aside, she turned and left.


    The other three peoples faces didnt look too good either. Initially, they thought that Jiang Zhe was just saying empty words. Who knew that even after half a day, the other party actually didnt even send a single message.


    He even spent lunchtime sweetly with Pei Yun in the cafeteria, how infuriating.


    For a moment, they felt that people around them were allughing at them, and they left angrily.


    Jiang Zhe reported his future ns to his girlfriend. In the afternoon, he bought a newputer. The original one was too slow, and not good for doing more precise work.


    In the evening, the roommates returned one after another. They saw Jiang Zhe in front of theputer, and sneakily made an expression like they saw a ghost.


    Chatting on the phone cant satisfy Jiang Zhe that hopeless romantic any longer?


    The eldest, Qiang Zi, braced himself to go over and take a look, vowing to make their grievances known.


    However, what entered his eyes were strings of dazzling and confusing coding.


    Qiang Zi:


    He looked at Jiang Zhe, looked at the screen, and looked at Jiang Zhe again.


    Silence.


    The rest of them were signaling Qiang Zi with their eyes, but Jiang Zhe didn''t care about any of them.


    Time flew, till the weekend arrived. Early in the morning, Jiang Zhe cleaned himself up and waited at the school gates.Pei Yun dressed up beautifully and carried the bag that Jiang Zhe bought for her.


    Jiang Zhe walked over and grabbed her hand. "The bag looks good."


    Pei Yun was dissatisfied: "Only the bag looks good?"


    Jiang Zhesmiled softly and poked her nose, "Teasing you. Our APei is the most beautiful. At most, this bag is only 10% as beautiful as our APei."


    "If you say so." Pei Yun patted him, but the smile lingering in her eyes betrayed the true thoughts in her heart.


    She followed Jiang Zhe along the roadside, walking to the bus stop ahead.


    Later, she would need to protect her bag well, she thought.


    Then, she saw Jiang Zhe gging down a taxi.


    Pei Yun: = =


    Jiang Zhecalled her over: "What are you doing, get into the car."


    Pei Yun was still a little dazed, she wanted to say that taking a taxi was expensive.


    Their college was a little remote. Though there were buses that go straight to the city center, it was always packed and was time consuming, as it needed to stop at various bus stops. It would take an hour or two to get into the city. If they were unfortunate enough to encounter a traffic jam, that feeling


    In contrast, taking taxi was much better.But the price also made most students despair.


    Although Jiang Zhe had more than $20,000 remaining, this was not the way to spend it.


    Jiang Zhe seemed to know what she was thinking. He patted her hand and whispered: "I know what Im doing."


    In the afternoon.


    Pei Yun and her boyfriend sat in Starbucks drinking coffee. Around her were newly bought clothes and shoes. For half a day, she couldnt regain her senses.


    Looking at all those items, those were all money wasted. Was this what Jiang Zhe meant by he knows what hes doing?


    At this moment, Pei Yun strongly became aware of the need to manage the finances.


    If she really gave her money to Jiang Zhe to manage, they would eventually have to eat dirt to survive.


    In the end, it was still better for women to manage the finances!! Like this:LikeLoading...

    <strong>The Single-Minded Boyfriend (4)</strong>


    It goes without saying that after Pei Yun returned to the dorm that day, her roommates squealed in envy over the small andrge shopping bags.


    After Jiang Zhe came back, other than meeting and apanying Pei Yun to eat every day, he spent the rest of his time either at the library or in his room.


    No one knew what he was doing, but inferring from his low-key behaviour, he had indeed broken ties with those sisters and was single-mindedly dating Pei Yun.


    The days passed, and his disciplined life went by quickly.


    Jiang Zhe''s college was located in the north. That winter, snow floated down leisurely and covered the whole sky.


    He stood below the female dorm and called Pei Yun on his phone.


    At that time, Pei Yun was crazily revising her work, so she was a little unfocused when she picked up his call.


    Pei Yun: "What''s up?"


    Jiang Zhe: "Can you spare some time? I have good news to share with you."


    Pei Yun nced at the mountain of review materials on her desk as the mans voice travelled across the phone, full of anticipation.


    She didn''t hesitate much. Gritting her teeth, she agreed.


    Her roommates sharing the same bedroom worried, "APei, look at the time now, its better not to go out."


    "Yes, exams are important."


    "Youre a couple, after all. You can meet any time; theres no need to meet now."


    "


    Pei Yun acknowledged her roommates good intentions, but humbly expressed her own thoughts and ran out of the dorm carrying a bag.


    Downstairs, Jiang Zhe wore a smoky gray windbreaker, making his whole body look slender and tall.


    Pei Yun saw him and sped up her pace.


    Once she was closer, Jiang Zhe pulled her and walked out of the schoolpound.


    Jiang Zhe: "APei, I am very happy today."


    Pei Yun didnt know what was happening, but she was influenced by Jiang Zhes good mood, asking: Why? Did something good happen?


    Jiang Zhe opened his mouth, but changed his words at thest minute: Its a secret. I will tell youter.


    He knew that Pei Yun was very busy these days, so he found a Chinese restaurant near the college to eat. He handed the menu over to her, "APei, what do you want to eat?"


    This was the first time Pei Yun came to this restaurant. Flipping open the menu, her heart raced when she saw the prices written on it.


    Just a random vegetarian dish already cost over $20, not to mention the meat dishes.


    Compared to the cheap food in the cafeteria, this restaurant was way too ckhearted.


    Her heart silently spit blood, but a slight smile hung on her face, "I am not hungry. Ill just a drink."


    Jiang Zhes eyes shed. Taking the menu, he ced an order for seven or eight dishes with the waiter.


    The smile on Pei Yuns face almost fell.


    Once the waiter left, she immediately rushed over. In the end, she was countered by Jiang Zhe and ended up in his embrace. With their bodies melded together, he whispered quietly in her ear.


    Pei Yun''s face changed colours a few times, before settling into an excited red. She grabbed Jiang Zhes shirt, trembling as she suppressed the agitation in her voice: "Really?"


    Jiang Zhe sighed, intentionally making a distressed face: "APei, you hold so little trust towards me in your heart?


    Pei Yun stared at him silently.


    Jiang Zheughed helplessly and pinched her face: "You, youre really persistent."


    Jiang Zhe showed her the transaction on his phone, "I divided it into two. $100,000 is reserved for our daily expenses, and the remaining money will be the start-up funds."


    Pei Yun mouth became an o-shaped, "Jiang Zhe, pinch me, am I dreaming?"


    Jiang Zhe kissed her Face, "Can you feel that?"


    Pei Yun: !!!


    "My goodness." She covered her mouth, but still didnt manage to hide her excitement.


    She knew that the future ofputer science was bright, but she did not expect Jiang Zhe to be so amazing.


    One million!


    How many books did she have to trante in order to earn a million dors?


    And ording to Jiang Zhe, this was only the beginning.


    Pei Yuns breathing was hurried and her face flushed red. She was even happier than the time she won $500,000 in the lottery.


    Jiang Zhe wrapped his arms around her, "I only received this sumst night. Originally, I wanted to call you immediately, but it was toote, so I endured till today. APei, Im really happy."


    Pei Yun nodded heavily.Right now, she was more than grateful for the choice she made previously.


    This kind of happy asion, no matter how joyful it is, it wouldnt be the same without someone to share it with.


    That''s nice.She could share all of Jiang Zhes happiness and sorrows.


    Pei Yun smiled sweetly.


    The two of them ate a good lunch. As they were leaving, Pei Yun suddenly said: "Jiang Zhe, pack a few desserts to bring back."


    Jiang Zhe didnt question her, directly instructing the waiter.


    He waked Pei Yun back to her dorm and rubbed her head, "Ill watch you go up."


    Pei Yun looked around and found that there was no one around. Holding back her embarrassment, she lightly kissed Jiang Zhes cheeks before running away without looking back.


    Jiang Zhe touched his cheeks with his fingers and smiled suddenly.


    A girl who came out for a breather upstairs saw this scene, and angrily snorted, so shameless.


    Pei Yun carried a stic bag into the dorm. Her roommates were quiet surprised to see her, "Why are you back so soon today?"


    Pei Yun: "We had lunch at the restaurant near the school. It doesnt take a long time."


    "Wait a minute, the restaurant near the school Youre not talking about that stupidly expensive Chinese restaurant, are you?"


    Pei Yun took out the takeaway box and said coolly: "Yes, why?


    Her roommates looked at each other.


    After a while, someone finally said: "APei, who paid for the meal?"


    Pei Yun: "Jiang Zhe did, is there a problem?"


    Cough"


    Pei Yun: "Why do you all look like that?"


    APei, actually, I think Jiang Zhe treats you really well now. If you really want to continue dating him, then, then"


    Pei Yun was confused: "What are you talking about?"


    Her roommates looked at her and braced themselves, saying, "APei, we have been friends for more than three years. Some things, we are just speaking from the standpoint of a bystander."


    Pei Yun: "En."


    Back then, you were good to Jiang Zhe but he didnt treasure you. Afterwards, you brought up the topic of breaking up in anger, and he suddenly woke up and turned over a new leaf. At that time, we encouraged you to set your standards higher, right?"


    Pei Yun: "Uh huh."


    While dating, its normal for a boyfriend to spend on their girlfriend. However, that also needs to have a limit."


    You said that Jiang Zhe has money, so we wont mention how he treats you meals and buys you items every other day. The problem is that hes still a student right now. Even if he does part-time jobs to earn some money, it isnt going to amount to much. Ultimately, he still relies on his parents. Spending so much on you, Im afraid that he only can afford instant noodles when he goes back to his dorm."


    If you only want to fool around and take revenge for his previous mistreatment, then we have nothing to say. But looking at you right now, youve already fallen. Then in the future, you"


    Her roommates voices became smaller and smaller. This kind of thing was originally already difficult to mention. If they didnt get along so well usually, who would be willing to say such things, to put in so much effort, just to end up offending someone.


    Pei Yun:


    She snorted inughter, and under the three stupefied gazes, she walked over  and hugged them.


    Pei Yun: "Thank you for thinking about me. Im very touched."


    "APei"


    Pei Yun: "I do want to continue dating Jiang Zhe.


    PeiYun: "I didnt want to bring this up originally, but seeing how worried you are about it, I will reveal a little bit. Youre not allowed to spread it."


    She leaned over and glossed over it, telling them how Jiang Zhe sold his software for money.


    Her girlfriends heard it, and their hearts started pounding.


    "Is this true?"


    Pei Yun nodded.


    "APei, you really struck gold, hugging onto a golden thigh."


    Pei Yun smiled, but didnt answer. Turning around, she picked up the takeaway box, "Oh, I guessed you were studying too hard and forgot to eat, so I purposely brought this back for you."


    Crystal wintermelon dumplings, almond tofu, fried shrimp, cmari, and yam jujube cake.Every snack was fragrant and delectable.


    The souls of the three people who were originally starving almost flew out.


    "My God, it''s so delicious."


    "Sure enough, theres a reason why its so expensive X_X."


    "APei, youre so good to us, I love you the most."


    Pei Yunughed helplessly: "Alright, eat quickly. It wont be as fragrant when it cools down.


    En, en. The three little girls turned into tigers in an instant, eating frantically.


    "So delicious, hey, another one"


    Pei Yun shook her head and went back to her desk to revise.


    However, the scene of the goodbye kiss swirled around her mind.


    Pei Yun, calm down. If you continue thinking about it, youre a goner.


    Calm down, calm down

    <strong>The Single-Minded Boyfriend (5)</strong>


    Jiang Zhes changes during this period of time were most obvious to his roommates.


    They were no longer awakened by his phone ringing in the middle of the night or a mans weirdly entedforting voice.


    On the contrary, Jiang Zhe became even more disciplined than them, getting up and sleeping on time.


    It was another regr afternoon. Jiang Zhe had just eaten his takeout meal, and was just about to go back to work when someone walked up behind him.


    Jiang Zhe looked back. It turned out to be his roommate, Li Fei, nicknamed Airne.


    Li Fei was unprepared when their eyes met. He felt slightly ufortable and shifted his eyes away, quietly saying, Jiang, Jiang Zhe.


    Jiang Zhe: "Yes?"


    Li Fei: "I heard that you sold a piece of software a few days ago."


    Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows. He didnt expect this piece of news to spread so fast.


    He was very low-key when he sold that software.


    In fact, Jiang Zhe misunderstood. That day, Li Fei coincidentally saw him and a man wearing a western suit walking out of the caf, talking andughing. His heart felt that it was suspicious, and after listening to his friends in theputer science field, he found out that recently, someone sold a piece of software in their field and earned big bucks.


    On top of that, Jiang Zhe had been staying in the dorm during this period of time, busily typing away on hisputer. With this connection, he inferred this conclusion with around 80% confidence.


    Asking Jiang Zhe today, is only to gain more confirmation. He had already thought it through. If Jiang Zhe denied it, how should he rebut, however


    Jiang Zhe was unexpectedly happy, nodding: "Yes, I sold it."


    Li Fei: "You don''t have to wait, what did you just say?"


    Jiang Zhe: "I said that I sold a piece of software a few days ago. Is there any problem?"


    Li Fei: !!!


    He waved his hand and said quickly: "No, no."


    After a while, he seemed to be talking to himself, but at the same time, he seemed to be deliberately saying it for Jiang Zhe to hear.


    Li Fei: "Weve already been roommates for three years, yet I never knew you were so amazing. I couldnt tell previously, haha."


    Jiang Zhes fingers continued typing furiously, while saying carelessly, "I used to be confused and couldnt tell what was important. Not to mention my dropping grades, I almost lost my girlfriend. His voice trailed off at the end, bringing a sense of self-mockery and unconsciously making others believe his words.


    Li Fei was stunned. Looking at the atmosphere getting colder, he gave a haha and avoided the topic.


    Li Fei: "Aish, its not toote to change now. Look, youve been self-studying these past few months, yet you canpete against people whove studied for two to three years. This talent is simply unmatchable."


    Jiang Zhe smiled and didn''t answer.


    Only the sound of his keyboard typing reverberated around the room. Li Fei nced at Jiang Zhe. The other party didnt even have any superfluous movement. He rubbed his nose in embarrassment and left.


    Jiang Zhe was left alone in the bedroom. He stopped typing and rubbed his forehead.


    He doesnt know why, but theres this persistent feeling that this matter isnt over yet.


    Just as the holidays were approaching, the school held a social gathering. Jiang Zhe wasnt interested, but Pei Yuns roommates wanted to go. Helplessly, she went along.


    Even his girlfriend had gone for it, could Jiang Zhe just sit there?


    Everything went smoothly. Jiang Zhe apanied Pei Yun, the two of them perfectly blending into the background.


    Seeing the end of the gathering, Jiang Zhe wanted to leave with Pei Yun, but were stopped by people.


    A seemingly familiar face, a familiar environment, Jiang Zhes heart jumped.


    "Brother Jiang, youre really ruthless!!" The womansint rang in the quiet and peaceful ce. The people who were about to leave also gradually came over.


    Pei Yun red at Lin Yue, fire almosting out of her eyes. Jiang Zhes face twitched, his hand was really hurting from APeis grip ah QAQ


    Jiang Zhecoughed lightly, putting on a serious face: "ssmate Lin, were not familiar with each other, why would you use me of being ruthless?"


    Lin Yues lips curved downwards, looking like she was about to cry, but she still didnt speak. The surrounding crowd didnt know what was happening, and began to whisper.


    Jiang Zhe felt his head throbbing. He never expected the other party to y smart this time, only speaking halfway and leaving the other half to peoples imaginations.


    Jiang Zhe: "Everyone!"


    Onlookers: ???


    Jiang Zhe: "Can you be quiet? Thank you."


    Without the surrounding noise, everything became very quiet. Jiang Zhe held on to Pei Yuns hand, raising it up for everyone to see.


    "This is my girlfriend next to me. We have been together from the first year of college."


    "But Im, um, how should I put it, in todays words, I had a slight central air conditioning problem previously, not wanting to see girls suffering.


    I usually treat the female friends around me very well, so these ssmates misunderstood. My girlfriend also couldnt stand it any longer, and we almost broke up. I naturally didnt want to, so no matter how much it hurt, I was determined to change my ways." His tone was serious, but somehow it was humorous in a different way, making many people press their lips together to hide theirughter.


    He faced Lin Yue and said: "I said it clearly previously, and I also achieved it. These few months, I havent had any contact with you, so why would you say Im ruthless."


    Lin Yue cried pitifully, "Brother Jiang ~~


    Jiang Zhe: Stop it.


    ssmate Lin, dont put me in a spot. It wasnt easy for me to gain back APeis feelings. Having done this, Ill have to kneel on durians in apology when I go home.


    Pfft" the surrounding crowd couldnt hold back theirughter.


    Pei Yun also huffily red at her boyfriend. If he had things to say, he should say it properly. What was this?


    However, the death grip on her boyfriends hand had greatly rxed.


    Wei Ling huffed: "Jiang Zhe, youre really willing to draw a line with us for such a woman?


    Jiang Zhe frowned, stressing: "APei is my girlfriend. Other than my parents, shes the closest person to me. Naturally, I will follow her wishes."


    Wei Ling gritted her teeth: "OK, I got it. Ill return this to you; I dont need it."Saying so, she threw a ne at him.


    Jiang Zhe thought it was a weapon. He hugged Pei Yun and dodged it. The silver ne fell on the ground with a soft sound.


    Wei Lings eyes were already red from anger, "Jiang Zhe, you bastard.I hate you."


    She stomped her feet and angrily ran off.


    The other three took note of the situation, and began throwing things too. Jiang Zhe protected Pei Yun and avoided it busily.


    Pei Yuns face had already turned ck, "You actually gave out so many things."


    Jiang Zhe: Innocent, he was really innocent.


    Probably, he would have to carry this usation around forever.


    Giant abuse.


    Jiang Zhe begged for mercy in a low voice, "APei, I was wrong.I will not dare to do so in the future."


    Pei Yun: "Hmph ^"


    Jiang Zhe: "In the future, Ill leave the money matters to you. Without money, itll impossible for me to give things to people."


    Pei Yun thought about it, and found it true, "Then, Ill let you off for now."


    No one expected that this social gathering would end with this farce.


    Pei Yuns roommates were quite apologetic; after all, they were the ones who pulled Pei Yun into going.


    To apologise, the three girls cosyed as spies, and went around finding out why Lin Yue and her friends chose the day of the social gathering to make trouble.


    The situation had blown up rather big, and the three girls didnt need to spend too much effort to find out. However, the results stunned them.


    In the dorm.


    Thefour girls gathered, ate snacks and drank coca c while gossiping.


    I thought of many possibilities previously, but not once did I think the trouble urred because of Jiang Zhe selling his software.


    Pei Yun: "Why do you say that?"


    This news started spreading from theputer science field. At the start, it only said that Jiang Zhe earned a few tens of thousands, but afterwards it became just above a hundred thousand. Passing on and on, in the end, it actually became that Jiang Zhe earned a few hundred thousand from it, enough for a down payment for a house. That was the key point, having sufficient for a housing down payment without even stepping into society."


    "Yours cantpare to how outrageous the one I heard was, actually hearing that Jiang Zhe earned up to a million. Isnt that a joke?"


    Pei Yun lowered her head guiltily, took a piece of potato chip and slowly ate it.


    "Lin Yue that group originally didnt want to pay any attention to Jiang Zhe. However, after hearing those evil gossip spread by others, and seeing how our APei is living so well, they instantly believed it. Aiyo, do they not use their brains? There are so many people in theputer science field. If anyone could make a piece of software and sell it for a million, then thosergepany bosses must be fools.


    "Yeah, but then again, normal people arent able to do such things. Despite knowing that the guy already has a girlfriend, they repeatedly tried to hold on to him in public."


    "Exactly. APei, dont be distant from Jiang Zhe because of this incident, otherwise only you will hurt, and your enemies will rejoice."


    Pei Yunughed helplessly: "How can it be as exaggerated as you said?"


    "No exaggeration, no exaggeration. In fact, strictly speaking, this trouble arose because of us. If we didnt drag you along, you wouldnt have gone, and you wouldnt have lost face.


    Her three roommates stood up, APei, sorry.


    Pei Yun didnt know how to react, and could only stand up with them, You all, aish. Really, Ive never ced it in my heart. Youre making things so serious, even Im starting to feel embarrassed."


    Ok, ok, not serious, not serious. Lets chat about something rxing.


    The holidays start tomorrow. Are you going straight back home or staying in school for some time?"


    "Im going home. My mom called a few times. She said she misses me a lot, hehe.


    "My dad also nags on the phone, saying how hell prepare this and that good food for me to eat when I go home. You also know that I cant resist the temptation of food!"


    The few people quickly started chatting about different topics. Pei Yun looked at them chatting excitedly, her heart moved, and she sneakily sent Jiang Zhe a message.


    [When are you going home?]

 Chapter 43

    Chapter 43


    <strong>The Single-Minded Boyfriend (6)</strong>


    A reply came not long after the message was sent.


    Jiang Zhe: [Ive been too busy recently. I might only go home in the twelfth lunar month*.]


    Pei Yun squeezed her phone tightly and looked up at her roommates chatting about what they were going to do when they went home, her heart souring.


    Her parents had also called her, asking her when she would being back. She had initially nned to apany Jiang Zhe for a few days after the holidays arrived, but since he was so busy now, she would go home.


    Pei Yun: [I understand.Im going home the day after tomorrow.]


    Jiang Zhe: [OK.]


    Pei Yun:


    Pei Yun grumpily packed her belongings and took the train home on the third day.


    On the other hand, Jiang Zhe was still bitterly cooped up in the library. No sess is achieved overnight. Moreover, he did not have much foundation previously, as he wasnt aputer science major in his original world.


    Everything was thanks to the guidance of the system and his own diligence.


    Li Fei said something right. He was indeed more talented than others.


    With an intelligent mind and hard work, he gradually overtook his peers.


    However, if he wants to further improve, he had to continue studying.


    He typed in thest character,pleting the office software before taking out his phone and booking a ticket to the capital.


    He wanted to see for himself how mind-blowing this eras capital city was, where everyone gathered.


    Jiang Zhe took his office software and embarked on a new journey.


    However, he never imagined that he was ultimately "scammed" into apany in the suburbs of the capital.


    Fortunately, he had only promised to do it for a year.


    He told this to Pei Yun, but unexpectedly, she was happily surprised by the news.


    Perhaps in her mind, having a proper job was much less risky than starting up a business and it made her more reassured.


    Jiang Zhe didnt borate on his ns.He always felt that before seeding, any promises were like bubbles that could be popped at any moment.


    After seeding, all doubts and cynicism would be like morning dew, evaporating cleanly when the sunes out.


    With the ten days he spent in the newpany, along with selling the office software he developed at a low price, he finally had a little money on hand.


    Closer to the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, he returned to his hometown.


    Father and Mother Jiang had long been looking forward to his arrival and were waiting for him at the door.


    When they saw him carrying many bags home, they immediately went forward to help him.


    Father Jiang took the bags from his sons hands while Mother Jiang nagged him, "You, this child, are really too much. Youre still a student, why are you so desperate to work?"


    Father Jiang: "Yeah, you dont know how much your mother looks forward to youing home."


    Mother Jiang: "Mom has prepared a lot of delicious food for you. Theres your favourite braised pork, stir-fried lobster, steamed fish, and"


    Father Jiang: "When your mom found out you wereing home today, she went out to the market before the sun even rose to buy the freshest seafood for you."


    Mother Jiang: "Youre the one to say, arent you the same? I just bought the lobster when you moured to prepare it. Luckily, I stopped you for an extra half hour, otherwise by the time our son came home, that lobster would have cooled already.


    Father Jiang: Yes, yes, I cant win you.


    Mother Jiang: Hmph.


    Jiang Zhe listened to the two of them bickering, their sentences full of love towards their son, and his heart felt moved.


    So after returning home, he immediately removed the wrapping and revealed a ck down jacket.


    Jiang Zhe: "Mom, Dad, try if it fits."


    Mother Jiang: "Son, youre still a student. Why would you buy such items, such a waste of money."


    Father Jiang: "Yeah, son. You should eat it well and live well in school, dont think about saving money to buy us things. Your mom and I are already so old, when will we use these?"


    Jiang Zhe appeased the two of them: "I dont scrounge on my living expenses. Didnt I tell you over the phone? I found a job in the city and also sold a piece of software. I have a few thousands on hand so its only right for me to buy something for you.


    Mother Jiang expressed her happiness, My son is really capable.


    Father Jiang also felt touched by it.


    Jiang Zhe secretly wiped away his cold sweat. Luckily, he had the foresight to cut the price tags after he bought the clothes.


    Otherwise, if the two of them knew that the two sets of down jackets cost more than $10,000, they would surely argue.


    Compared to the down jackets, the items Jiang Zhe took outter were not so eye-catching.


    For Mother Jiang, some high-end skincare products. For Father Jiang, some wine and local specialty.


    The wine was not allowed on the train home, so Jiang Zhe calcted and sent it by delivery. When he got home, he conveniently picked it up and brought it home.


    In so many years, this was the first time Father and Mother Jiang received so many gifts from their son, feeling both surprised and happy. The three people chatted enthusiastically for a while. Suddenly, Mother Jiang eximed, Oh my, its been so long since our son returned. If we dont have lunch soon, the vour of the dishes will gradually decline."


    This lunch, the Jiang family ate together warmly.


    The atmosphere was very good, and under Father and Mother Jiangs encouragement, Jiang Zhe identally ate too much.


    After lunch, he went back to his room and sent Pei Yun a message while rubbing his stomach.


    Jiang Zhe: [What are you doing?]


    [Watching dramas.] The reply was virtually instantaneous.


    But the tone was slightly cold.


    Jiang Zhe slightly raised his eyebrows, and guessed the reason, not knowing to cry orugh.


    It was his fault for being too busy during this period of time.


    Real men are brave enough to face the storm.


    Jiang Zhe: [I know my wrongs.]


    Pei Yun: [Wrong where?]


    Jiang Zhe: [I should not have neglected you.]


    Pei Yun: [ ^ ]


    Jiang Zhe: [Pitiful.jpg.]


    Pei Yun held her phone, imagined a certain someone''s pitiful look, and couldnt hold back herughter.


    Mother Pei had just walked in to ask her if she wanted to eat fruits. Seeing her smile so sweetly, curiosity bubbled up in her heart.


    Mother Pei: "What are youughing so happily at?"


    Pei Yun smiled silently.


    Mother Pei took a measured gaze at her, "Even if you dont say it, Mom can guess. Its your boyfriend, right?"


    Pei Yun was shocked for a moment, then nodded shyly.


    Mother Pei was at a loss: "There really is a boyfriend ah." She had guessed casually ==


    Mother Pei put down the te of fruits and sat down next to Pei Yun, "Do you have a photo of the boy, let Mom see how he looks like."


    Pei Yun: "Mom~~~"


    Mother Pei: "Whats wrong with that? Even an ugly son-inw will have to meet his mother-inw eventually."


    Pei Yun: -_-#


    She couldnt win against her mother and could only helplessly flip through her gallery. Her phone was snatched out of her hands by her mother, and with a fwoosh, her mother ran out the door.


    Pei Yun was shocked into a daze, "Mom!!!"


    "Mom, return my phone to me."


    In the living room,Mother Pei shrank behind Father Pei, "Old Pei, quickly look. This is our future son-inw."


    Father Pei shifted his eyes from the newspaper and nced at the phone, happily, "This young man is rather handsome."


    Mother Pei sighed: "I also think he looks good. Look at how good he looks together with our APei."


    Pei Yun was both embarrassed and annoyed.


    However, in the end she still felt a little sweet. At least Mom and Dad were very satisfied with Jiang Zhe.


    It was such a work of fate that a miraculous ident urred.


    Jiang Zhe waited for a while, but still didnt get a response from Pei Yun, and thought she was really angry.


    So, he sent a video chat, intending to apologise to her face-to-face.


    However, once the video connected, two unfamiliar middle-aged people entered his view.


    Jiang Zhes mind worked quickly, and he greeted politely, "Hello Uncle, hello Aunty, I am Jiang Zhe, APeis boyfriend."


    Pei family: !!!


    APei furiously leaped forward to snatch her phone back, but Mother Pei was one step ahead of her and avoided it.


    She smiled, "Jiang Zhe ah, Ive heard APei talk about you."


    Jiang Zhe: Dont need to say anything, just smile.


    Mother Pei: "Has APei shown you our photos before?"


    Jiang Zhe shook his head: "No, but APei is a very careful person. I think other than Uncle and Aunty, no one can obtain her phone."


    Mother Pei was so happy, her eyes arched into slits, Yes, our APei is wonderful, gentle and kind, thoughtful and considerate. She has been especially lovable since she was a child.


    Jiang Zhes lips hooked up, elegant like jade, giving people a refreshing feeling, Yes, APei is a very optimistic and cheerful girl, lively and lovely."


    Mother Pei: "Our APei is both beautiful and smart, winning many medals from young."


    Pei Yun:


    Mom, bragging about your daughter like this, dont you feel embarrassed?


    However, not only did the other party not feel awkward, he even followed suit.


    Pei Yun: ( -  )


    Both sides supporting each other, cant afford to touch them.


    *  Not sure which month this is, especially since the lunar calendar doesnt follow the western ones and changes every year.

    After many exchanges of praising each other, Mother Peis goodwill towards Jiang Zhe went through the roof. In the end, Mother Pei was very reluctant when ending the video call.


    Pei Yuns mouth twitched. Taking back her phone, she rushed back to her room and locked the door.


    Mother Pei rolled her eyes, "So petty. Jiang Zhe is much more open-minded than her."


    Father Pei lowered his head and read the newspaper, not expressing any opinions.


    Jiang Zhe enjoyed a festive New Year at home. Father and Mother Jiang were both good people, and there were quite some friends and rtives who came to visit for the New Year. No matter who it was, they would praise Jiang Zhe when they saw him.


    Even if Jiang Zhes face was thick enough, he couldnt help his ears from turning red.


    He secretly sent a message to Pei Yun, telling her about this, only to receive a schadenfreude expression.


    Ill give you a good talking to when we go back to school. Jiang Zhe put down his phone and lowered his sharp gaze.


    After staying at home for ten days, he picked up his bag and returned to the schoolpound.


    The Jiang parents were very reluctant to see him go, and prepared arge amount of homemade snacks for him.


    Using the original words of the two elderly, it wasnt easy for their son to leave home. Since they werent able to help out much, they could only put in effort to prepare food and essentials for him.


    Jiang Zhe didnt know whether tough or cry, and epted the two elderlys good intentions.


    He could only walk to an isted corner before putting the items into the system space.


    The train moved quickly and Jiang Zhe fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he had already reached the destination.


    The school was still clean and quiet. Along with the slight drizzle, it seemed a ltitle bleak.


    He walked straight in. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.


    When you cane to work


    The message was from thepany in the city.


    Jiang Zhe touched the screen, tapped a few times, and sent a message over.


    Soon.


    He was still in his third year of college. It was best tomunicate with the school before going out to work.


    However, it shouldnt be such a huge problem. After all, the school encouraged students to go for internships.


    Still, before all that, he still had to consolidate his foundations.


    Within half a day, he had dealt with everything. The second day was spent just like he did before the holidays, either in the library or in his room.


    By the time Pei Yun and the other students came back to school in crowds, Jiang Zhe had started to be busy again.


    However, on the day she returned to school, Jiang Zhe spared a little time to pick her up from the station. After all, girls always brought too much things, making it inconvenient to rush for transportation.


    Pei Yuns heart was filled with honey, and became especially receptive to Jiang Zhes actions. She couldnt help but secretly stretch out her finger and tickled his palm.


    JiangZhe turned his head to look at her and said amusedly, "Don''t y around."


    Pei Yun didnt listen to him.


    Jiang Zhe couldnt do anything about it, and could only endure it. Otherwise, if he said any more, she would be angry with him.


    No matter what year the students were from, school beginnings were always the busiest.


    Pei Yun only met Jiang Zhe on that day and chatted a little. Afterwards, they were both busy. By the time everything settled down, Jiang Zhe was going to the city again.


    Pei Yun was angry.


    But this was obviously good for Jiang Zhe. Emotionally and logically, she couldnt prevent it.


    Therefore, she became even angrier.


    Jiang Zhe also guessed the unhappiness in her heart, and used a variety of tricks to make her happy, going to an amusement park, going shopping, snacking on the streets. Pei Yuns heart finally felt a little better.


    On the day that Jiang Zhe was leaving, Pei Yun sent him off at the station, When you arrive at in the city, remember to send me a message.


    Jiang Zhe:Alright.


    Pei Yun: Youre alone over there, make sure you eat your meals on time and dont overwork yourself, you understand?"


    Jiang Zhe nodded.


    Pei Yun "That, you must think of me every day, dont look at other beautiful girls. I, I"


    Jiang Zhe hugged her and sighed, "APei, don''t worry, the city is so close to the school. In the future, Ill visit once every half month, ok."


    Jiang Zhe took half a step back, gently and tenderly stroking Pei Yuns face.


    Pei Yun almost couldn''t hold back her tears.


    How did she not notice previously that she was so reluctant to let him go?


    She sniffed and pushed him without much strength, "Alright, the train is about to leave. You should quickly let them check your ticket."


    Jiang Zhe rubbed her head, softly answering "En."


    Finishing his words, he dragged his luggage and left without looking back.


    Pei Yun stood behind him and looked at his back getting further away, a form of panic emerging in her heart.


    Without thinking, she ran over and hugged him from behind.


    Jiang Zhe was stunned, "APei"


    Pei Yun buried her face in his back, her voice muffled, "Jiang Zhe, promise me. After you reach the city, you definitely, definitely must not look at other girls."


    "I beg you."


    Jiang Zhe''s heart trembled, and his eyes became gentle and soft.He was too careless, not realising how uneasy APei felt in her heart.


    He didn''t look back, only solemnly holding on to the hand hugging him around his waist, sighing softly, "I know."


    Pei Yun let go of him embarrassedly, stuttering, "Go quickly, I wont stop you."


    Jiang Zhe picked up his feet and continued walking forward. Pei Yun silently watched him.


    He will look back, he will not look back, he will look back, he will not look back, he will look back


    Pei Yun watched as Jiang Zhes silhouette disappeared around the corner, disappointment and loss showing clearly on her face.


    In the end, he didnt turn back to look at her, not even a nce.


    Pei Yuns nose turned sour, and she especially wanted to cry.She felt that she was really pitiful. Her boyfriends actions were a clear sign of an impending break up ah qaq


    She listlessly walked back, but before she even took three steps, her phone rang.


    She subconsciously turned on her phone to look, it was a message.


    The sender was Jiang Zhe.


    Attached was a photo of her previous appearance, when she was looking at him expectantly and waiting for him to look back. Without saying, it looked foolish.


    The sourness disappeared, and a sort of awkwardness slowly climbed into her heart.


    There was even a row of text below the photo, Im scared that if I turn back, I cant bear to leave you.''


    Pei Yun


    The so called finding a light in the darkness. That was what this was.


    She was just feeling that this was it between her and Jiang Zhe. After that move, she was once again full of hope towards their future.


    Jiang Zhe definitely likes her.


    Pei Yun put away her phone, feeling much better, even going to a convenience store to buy an ice cream.


    Sweet.


    Jiang Zhe stayed in thepany for a full year. Using the excuse that he hadnt graduated, thepany tried all means to reduce his sry.


    This made Jiang Zhe mad.


    Holding the spirit of Real men takes revenge, not only did he resign from thepany, but he also snatched up thepanys two most powerful backbone.


    Jiang Zhe also didnt mistreat them. He extended the funds to create apany and gave them a portion of the shares.


    If they could be a boss, who would be willing to work for others?


    The three young fellows did as they said. They relied on their excellent technology and Jiang Zhes many worlds of business experience.


    They remained in the city, where hidden dragons and crouching tigersy, growing a tiny unknownpany into a huge corporation.


    After Pei Yun graduated, she followed her boyfriend into the field. Initially, because her major wasnt rted, she was confused for a while. Thanks to Jiang Zhes timely discovery, his guidance, and cough, hisfort. This helped Pei Yun regain her self-confidence, and tried again.


    Everything developed quickly. In the eyes of the industry people, Jiang Zhes start-up experience was unbelievably smooth.


    He had almost never taken the wrong path; his every decision was correct. Even if there were a few mistakes, he could correct it quickly such that the losses were negligible.


    This kind of business style, how does it resemble a small boy that just stepped into society? It was obviously a sly old man whos been fighting in the business world for years.


    However, no matter how they investigated, they couldnt find even a slightest w.


    This also became the biggest mystery in the industry.


    As Jiang Zhespany continued to rise by the day, he also began to consider marriage.


    After working overtime till 10 oclock again, Pei Yun and her colleagues packed up and prepared to go home.


    Suddenly, the lights went out, plunging them into sudden darkness. Before anyone could react in surprise


    A flickering light approached them from afar.


    When the other party came closer, she finally saw clearly who it was.


    Pei Yun: "Jiang Zhe, you"


    "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Pei Yun, happy birthday to you."


    Theemployees sang in unison. Pei Yun was speechless. She covered her mouth, her eyes firmly fixed on the man.


    Jiang Zhe pushed aside the cart in front of him and got down on one knee. His hands slowly opened the red box, revealing the shiny ring inside.


    Jiang Zhe: APei, today is your 24th birthday. I hope to celebrate it with you every year in the future. Will you give me this opportunity?"


    Pei Yuns tears covered her face and she almost couldnt see the scene in front of her eyes clearly. She was afraid that this would all be a part of a beautiful dream, which would disappear when she woke up.


    However, looking at the earnest gaze of the man before her, she couldnt reject. She nodded strongly. The feeling of a ring slipping onto her left hands ring finger felt so real.


    She couldnt hold back her emotions and whispered, "Is this a dream?"


    Jiang Zhe went over and kissed her, whispering, "Dont be afraid, trust me. Whether its in a dream or in reality, I will always be with you."


    Trantor notes: Hey guys, some of you were wondering why I ghosted in Feb. My grandma passed away just one day after I posted my update. It was a brain aneurysm, and was really sudden, so I was hardly in the mood to trante. Its taken me a long time toe to terms with it, though Im still affected even now. Just today, I received news that a friend of mine lost his fight against cancer. Nheless, I hate leaving arcs upleted, so heres thest chapter of the arc, and the missing chapters for the story.

    <strong>The Crazy Dog Who Became A Loyal Hound (1)</strong>


    "Youre just the wife I bought with money. What qualifications do you have to manage me?"


    "Don''t forget, who was the one who helped your family pay the debt your father owed the loan sharks."


    "You eat my food, use my items, spend my money, what right do you have to educate me?"


    "Do you believe that I can kick you out of the house any time if you make me angry?"


    ""


    Theend of the memory.Jiang Zhe opened his eyes, desperation and turmoil in his eyes.


    Jiang Zhe: "System."


    System: "En?"


    Jiang Zhe: "You really arent ying with me on purpose?"


    The system''s little voice was especially pure, with a tinge of naive innocence: "No. Host, youre thinking too much ~~~"


    Jiang Zhe: Ok, he understood now.


    Being plotted against such a capable person, he was afraid he couldnt hold back very well.


    If the original soul of the previous world was secretly scummy, then the original soul of the world was openly and publicly scummy.


    The Jiang family could be said to know the Mo family long ago. At the start, they were both workers. Later on, they lost their stable job.


    Father Jiang made a desperate attempt to go to the sea to do business. He took advantage of the opportunities from the reform, riding the winds to wild sess, bing the richest man in Dragon City in one shot.


    Father Mo was more cautious, continuing his original footsteps.Later, he learnt that his former friend had be sessful and his mind was disturbed. Using alcohol to deal with his frustrations, he met a group of shady friends and embarked on the road of gambling without looking back.


    It was reasonable to say that there was no connection between the two.However, while Father Jiang was sessful, his son wasnt. He didnt have any capabilities, but had learned a lot of bad habits.They were also a family of new-found wealth. Anydy with a slight discerning eye, good character, knowledge and appearance would all look down on his son.


    On the other hand, Father Mo was a rotten tree that bore good fruit. Father Mo himself was ipetent, Mother Mo was weak and helpless. However, their daughter, Mo Ling, was brave, strong and kind.


    It could be said that without Mo Ling, the Mo family would have copsed long ago.


    Father Mo owed loan sharks, and the Mo family had borrowed from everyone they could borrow from.In the end, Mo Ling had no choice but to find Father Jiang, exin her reasons foring, and write down an IOU.Although her attitude was sincere and respectful, it was not one that belittled herself due to her circumstances.


    Father Jiang appreciated her very much.In addition, he had carried Mo Ling when she was young. The Jiang and Mo families could actually be said to know each other thoroughly.


    As for Father Mo''s gambling addiction, in fact, it was not impossible to cure, but the Mo family couldnt bear to do it. Father Jiang might as well make more from it.


    Once he had that idea, Father Jiang could not sit still.He privately sent people to investigate Mo Ling, and the news that came back made him more satisfied.


    In the end, he asked people to pick up Mo Ling and put out his conditions, directly showing his hand.


    The Jiang family helped the Mo family repay the debt that Father Mo owed, and bought a house and one million cash as dowry.At the same time, as an additional condition, Father Jiang came out to help Father Mopletely quit his gambling addiction. It didnt matter how he did it as long as the results were good.


    What Mo Ling had to do was to marry the original soul and bear children for the Jiang family. It would be better if they got along, if not, she had to stay in the Jiang family for at least ten years.


    This condition was not considered harsh, but it also wasnt anything good.


    Mo Ling struggled on her own and graduated from a prestigious university.It can be said that without Father Mo dragging her down, she would definitely have had a promising future.


    Instead, for the sake of the original souls familys help, she married a rich yboy.


    In fact, the two still had a honeymoon period after marriage, but the original soul was used to ying around.Mo Ling was moved by him at that time, and naturally disagreed with him going out to drink and y.


    As the one with absolute authority between the two, the original soul was as arrogant as they could get, casually spouting out hurtful words.


    Then Jiang Zhe came.


    Jiang Zhe:


    There was never a pot of food that was so far from him before ==


    It was now two years after they had gotten married. The young couple was only sweet in the first half year of their marriage. The days after were filled with small quarrels every three days andrge arguments every five days.


    The original soul had a big temper, always winning the argument at the end. Consequently, whenever Mo Ling saw him now, shepletely ignored him, neither hearing nor asking.


    However, the original soul once again did more wrong. He felt strange in his heart when Mo Ling ignored him, so he would provoke her. His attitude was cold and hot, making Jiang Zhe not know what to do.


    The two still had no children yet, and Father and Mother Jiang were in a hurry, often urging Mo Ling.


    Mo Ling could only swallow her bitterness.The onlyfort was probably that Father Mo finally quit gambling.Although his whole person exuded "dejection", as long as he stayed at home obediently, the Mo familys mother and daughter were extremely grateful, praying to Buddha.


    Jiang Zhe looked at the empty room and turned on his handphone to check the day. It was Sunday, Mo Ling should be back in the Mo familys home.


    Sigh, dont know what to do in the days toe.


    The original soul had blocked all his roads. ==


    Now, even if he treated Mo Ling well, Mo Ling would only be more wary of him.


    Extremely heartbreaking.


    It would be better if Mo Ling wasnt the person he was looking for. If she was, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.


    Heid down on the sofa, his whole person the epitome of "depression".


    Suddenly, there was a movement in the doorway. Jiang Zhes eyelids moved, but he couldnt lift his spirits.


    Mo Ling put down the bag, walked in and saw the man on the sofa.


    The man''s eyes were drooping, a shadow forming under his eyshes, making people unable to see his eyes.


    Giving people a sense of mncholy.


    However, Mo Ling did not have any unusual expression. She was used to Jiang Zhes periodic strange behaviours.


    The maid came over and asked her what she wanted to drink. She shook her head.Turning, she went upstairs. However, when she passed by Jiang Zhe, she unexpectedly paused and unexpectedly opened her mouth, "Mom asked me about you today, if you have time" She thought about it, but still didnt say the remaining half of the sentence.


    After returning home today, her mother asked about their rtionship. Mo Ling couldnt avoid it, only briefly telling her about it. Even so, she was still nagged by her mother, telling her to be warm and considerate, that the Jiang family was their great benefactor, not to be an ungrateful wolf etc.


    She couldnt be more annoyed and found an excuse to run out.


    Passing by Jiang Zhe, she initially wanted to ignore him like she used to. Its just that her mothers words still rose to her mind.


    [Men all want face. You cant always oppose him, you just have to follow him.]


    Mo Ling snorted at that. Her mother was too deferent to her father, thats why their family ended up the mess it was today.


    Not knowing what happened to her today, once she took a second look at him, the words were already out of her mouth without going through her brain.


    Mo Ling pursed her lips, already anticipating how Jiang Zhe would ridicule her.


    It would undoubtedly be about how she was reaching above her means, like a toad that wants to eat swam meat, daydreaming every day. After that, he would despise and badmouth her family.


    She was used to it.


    However, this time, she waited for a long time, but didnt receive the cold ridicule she expected.


    She was surprised and looked down at him, their eyes meeting. She unexpectedly found that the mans eyes had a little, cough,plex emotions.


    This was really strange.


    Since Jiang Zhe didn''t want to care about her, she also didn''t have to rush headfirst into his abuse. Turning her head, she headed upstairs.


    After she left, Jiang Zhe helplessly covered his face with his hand, his heart dying from sadness.


    Although he had guessed it earlier, but during the moment when it was confirmed, he still heard something breaking inside.


    That pair of eyes were too familiar.


    System, youre too vicious!!!


    Since his set personality was a rich yboy, he also didnt have to be proper. Taking off his shoes, he flopped over and slept on the sofa.


    He was quiet.


    But.


    Ten minutester, Jiang Zhe gave up and got up, going to shower in the bathroom. His OCD or whatever, it was really frustrating.


    He took a quick shower, wore a bathrobe, and went to the room to sleep.


    Any troubles could wait till he was awake.


    At night, Mother Jiang knocked on the door. Jiang Zhe sleepily got up and changed into a set of fitting casual clothes.


    He followed the original souls habit, rolling his sleeves up to the middle of his arms, and opening his cor slightly, revealing his wheat-coloured skin.


    His eyes were deep and forceful, his nose was high, his lips were sexy. Dressed in such an unrestrained manner, his body exuded an unbridled and arrogant air.


    Jiang Zhe:


    Other people didnt find it strange, but Jiang Zhe himself actually found it quite ufortable.


    The Jiang family had no rules about talking while eating. At the dinner table, Father Jiang reprimanded his son as usual. Ask you to find a proper job, but you dont listen. Every day, you only know how to eat drink and have fun. One day when Im dead, what would you do?


    If it was the original soul, he would have probably have rebutted with a single sentence: If theres wine today, then Ill get drunk today, let tomorrows worriese tomorrow.


    Then Father Jiang would be extremely angry, flinging his hands to hit him, Mother Jiang would try to dissuade him from doing so and Jiang Zhe would dodge, another chaotic night.


    However, now that the core had changed, Jiang Zhe simply couldnt say such words, only lowering his head to ate and reduce his sense of existence.

    <strong>The Crazy Dog Who Became A Loyal Hound (2)</strong>


    But!


    Jiang Zhe thought that a quiet chicken could escape being stolen, but his idea was broken.


    His old man nevercked any reasons to quarrel with his son ORZ


    Father Jiang put down his chopsticks and hit the table heavily, angrily scolding: "Why, youre giving your old man the attitude now that Ive said two lines about you."


    Jiang Zhe: !!!


    He looked up fiercely, his eyes wide and his face stunned.


    Why can''t he eat a meal honestly?


    Father Jiang caught his son and fiercely tore right into him.


    Jiang Zhe:


    In fact, think about it carefully, the original soul also didnt have it easy As if.


    After the meal, he went back to his room. His handphone rang, and his group of shady friends asked him to go out to y.


    He refused without thinking. The other party didnt give up, sending him a message and even attaching an indescribable picture.


    Jiang Zhe couldnt stand their disturbance, and was about to turn off his handphone. Mo Ling came upstairs.


    The two pairs of eyes met and Jiang Zhe thought about what to say. Mo Ling walked past him as if she didnt see him.


    Jiang Zhe rubbed his forehead helplessly.


    Looking down at the picture on his phone, a dangerous idea came to life.


    If he didnt go mad, he couldnt live. Since he had caused such a situation, then he would have to face the consequences. Only with effort would he see results.


    In a certain suburb in Dragon City.


    Jiang Zhe drove over his car in a rush. A group of wealthy kids were gathered together, dancing wildly.


    When he walked close for a look, he found that two of them were shaking and swaying, their eyes unfocused. It was not normal at first nce.


    He lowered his eyes and had a guess in his heart.


    After a while, someone came to greet him.


    "Young Master Jiang,e,e, lets y a bit more exciting today."


    Jiang Zhe returned with a puzzled look.


    The person had a head of ash-grey hair smiled slyly, "Young Master Jiang, just follow me and youll know. I guarantee that youve never seen this before."


    Jiang Zhe followed him over to a group of people in front, pping and shouting "good". He was still wondering what was happening when he leaned over for a closer look, and almost vomited in disgust.


    Other peoples car sex was done in the car. On the other hand, theirs were done outside, going at it rhythmically shallow and deep.


    Jiang Zhe hurriedly looked away and turned away without looking back.


    The ash-grey haired youth was anxious, "Hey, hey, Young Master Jiang, don''t go. If you don''t like this, we have something else."


    "Today, Young Master Qi returned to China and sent a message in the group. He willeter to race with us."


    "You know, Young Master Qi has great car skills, many people dont even have the opportunity to race with him."


    "Young Master Jiang, Young Master Jiang"


    Jiang Zhe stopped.


    Half an hourter, the Young Master Qi mentioned by the ash-grey haired youth arrived.


    The other party also didnt waste any time, directly getting into the car topete.


    The sound of the sports car engine roared. Suddenly, a silver sports car flew out into the dark night like an arrow from the string.


    Jiang Zhe followed closely.


    The onlookers shouted loudly and cheered. "Young Master Jiang is very fierce today."


    "Yeah, he has been following closely behind Young Master Qis car. It looks like he wants to catch an opportunity to reverse the tides."


    "Tsk tsk, these two are really cool. Look at how they have left the rest of thepetitors in the dust."


    "It seems that in order to catch up with Young Master Qi, Young Master Jiang trained very hard in private."


    "Today is really a blessing for my eyes."


    "Don''t talk nonsense, quickly look, they are going to turn soon. Hearing their engines, Young Master Jiang probably wants to overtake him at the corner."


    "Shh, don''t talk, the exciting moment ising."


    " Quick, quickly look, Young Master Jiang has overtaken, overtaken"


    In the drivers seat, Jiang Zhe mmed on the gas pedal, "System, my life and death depends on you."


    The system wanted to swear: Crazy bastard!!!


    Everyone saw the red sports car suddenly rushing towards the cliff like a wild dog off its leash.


    After a short silence, a sharp scream broke the silence.


    "Quick, call the police, call the police!"


    "Screw you, moron! Call what police at this time, call 120, 120."


    "Save him!"


    The Jiang family had all gone to sleep when Father Jiangs handphone suddenly rang.


    He picked up the phone blurrily, "Hello. May I ask if theres anything up?"


    "May I know if this is Mr. Jiang? We are from xx hospital. Your son had an ident, falling off a cliff. His situation isnt very good, I hope you can rush here."


    Father Jiang subconsciously didnt believe it, but when he rushed out of bed, his legs had unexpectedly gone soft.


    He almost crawled to his daughter-inws room, mming on her door, shouting forcefully with anger: "Mo Ling, Jiang Zhe, that wild child, is he still sleeping at home. Watch how this old man deals with him today."


    He rushed directly into the room, but other than Mo Ling, there was no one else in the room.


    Father Jiang: "No, no. It must be someone with the same name. Jiang Zhe that stinky boy treasures his life the most, nothing will happen to him."


    Mo Ling heard it, and her heart dropped, her lips trembling as she asked: "Dad, what happened?"


    Father Jiang simply couldn''t hear anything. He turned and ran down hurriedly, personally driving out.


    Father Jiangs emotions were out of control, how could Mo Ling dare to let him drive.


    She was still wearing pajamas as she drove the two elderly to the hospital.


    At this time, she finally found out that Jiang Zhe had an ident. She heard that he fell off a cliff and his life was in danger.


    She took a deep breath and forcefully restrained her tears.


    Jiang Zhe was a scourge, and they say that scourges live a thousand years.How could something happen to him?


    Mo Ling still held on to herst hope. But when the nurse handed them the patients handphone, it copsedpletely.


    Mother Jiang almost passed out, and Father Jiangs back slouched at the same time, sitting on a chair, motionless and expressionless.


    Mo Ling apanied them, her heart extremely chaotic as well, but she could only hold on to herst strand of strength.Otherwise, the Jiang family two elderly would be in even more despair.


    They didn''t know how long they waited, until the day turned bright, before the red light in the emergency room went out.


    The nurse pushed a person out, and Mo Ling recognized him at a nce. The man with a scar on his face was her husband, Jiang Zhe.


    At this moment, heid there, his life and death unknown.


    Mo Ling pressed her lips together, and her vision became blurry as two lines of tears fell without warning.


    Father and Mother Jiang were awakened by this movement. When they saw their son lying there, they almost fainted again, but fortunately, Mo Ling helped them in time.


    Mother Jiang held the doctor''s hand and cried silently, "Doctor, doctor, how is my son, how is he? Is his life out of danger?"


    The leading doctor''s face was a little amazed. He dragged the three to one side, "The patient is out of danger, just that"


    "What is it?"


    Doctor: "Just that after the patient''s left leg recovers, it may not be as flexible as before."


    The Jiang family was stunned: "What do you mean by that, doctor, can you say it more clearly?"


    Doctor: "The patient may be slightly disabled in the future."


    The scene before Father Jiangs eyes went ck and he could not hear anything else.Mo Ling struggled to support him while Mother Jiang, who was next to her, was grabbing her chest and crying heartbrokenly, "God, isnt this just asking for my sons life? Jiang Zhe is such a proud person, how could he ept his own disability."


    The doctor looked at Mo Ling in a dilemma.


    Mo Ling barely pulled out a smile. "Doctor, you should send my husband to the ward first. I willfort my father-inw and mother-inw."


    Mo Ling, this patients familys unexpectedly rare understanding undoubtedly let the group of doctors and nurses heave a sigh of relief.


    Mo Ling helped the two elderly and looked at the nurses and doctors who were walking away, sighing heavily.


    Jiang Zhe, you were really born to collect debts in this life.


    In the ward, Jiang  Patient  Zhe,y on the bed peacefully while the system in his mind was about to explode.


    System: "Host, do you have a tumour, is your head really alright? Host, are you still the original host? You really have not been parasitized by other creatures?"


    Jiang Zhe:  Damn retarded


    But for him to keep his small life this time was all because of the system, thus he didnt say anything out of kindness.


    Jiang Zhe: "Rest assured, Im still me, I have no problem with my mind either, don''t worry."


    System: "Do you think Ill believe you?"


    Jiang Zhe: ""


    Jiang Zhe: "Its up to you to believe."


    System "Okay, I believe."


    System: "But why are you doing this?"


    Jiang Zhes tone had a faint mncholy: "In order to give [me] a reason to change naturally."


    Without a major incident happening, everyone would be instantly suspicious of him if he suddenly changed his character.

    <strong>The Crazy Dog Who Became A Loyal Hound (3)</strong>


    The system asked Jiang Zhe: "Scaring people like this, doesnt your conscience hurt?"


    Jiang Zhe: "a little bit."


    System: ..


    The system thundered angrily, "You knew that it would scare them, but you still did it. You did it intentionally."


    Jiang Zhe coaxed the system: "Didnt I already say that I was also forced to do so."


    System: "As if you were forced to. You just had to make an ident, of all ces, you just had to do it off the edge of a cliff."


    Jiang Zhe: "Isnt this just showing how much I trust you, system is the best."


    System: o (*////////*)q


    System: "Dont think that your shallow words can move me. Let me tell you, this time I will not forgive you easily."


    Jiang Zhe faked a few words, and then let the system be.


    Although he knew that he had the system to save his life, but having such a brush with death was really something else.


    But he had to say that it was very exciting.


    The negative effects of non-stop transmigrations had also vanishedpletely in that car ident.


    The system was ultimately only a machine after all.It didnt understand human nature.


    There was a saying that the Jiang Mountain was easy to change, but it was difficult for a person to change his nature, and Father Jiang deeply understood this.


    If he didnt participate in that gathering with his shady friends and almost lost his life, how would he make up his mind in the future to stay away from terrible friends,pletely turn over a new leaf and be a good person?


    He was not the original soul; he was Jiang Zhe. Even if he had the same name and the same surname, it couldnt change the fact that they were twopletely different souls.


    The original soul couldnt learn his rational restraint, and he couldnt learn the free and easy, uninhibited ways of the original soul.


    Without a breakthrough, he would destroy himself one day. Perhaps, he himself couldnt take it, thats why the original soul took the initiative to leave.


    Both results were not what he wanted.


    The sun slowly dipped in the west, as red as blood.


    Jiang Zhe faintly opened his eyes. The sky outside the window was filled with clouds shining red like fire, gorgeously fiery.


    Jiangs family kept guarding over him. When they saw that he was awake, they came together. Mother Jiang couldnt stop crying and choked: "Zheer, how are you, do you feel pain anywhere?


    Jiang Zhe shook his head slightly, spitting out a word with difficulty, "Water."


    Mother Jiang: "Ok, ok, Mom will pour you some water."


    A cup of warm water flowed into his stomach and the burning in his throat was relieved. He sighedfortably.


    Father Jiang had been both shocked and afraid sincest night and his heart strings had already been pulled taut. Seeing his son in a good condition now, the fire in his heart immediately exploded.


    Father Jiang: "How many times have I told you not to hang out with those shady friends, but you just dont listen. I ask you to learn some capabilities so that you can take over thepany in the future, but you also dont listen. Even if you don''t want to do anything, can you at least be a little more obedient. This old man was sleeping well in the middle of the night when I received a call from the hospital saying that you were dying. Do you know your old man, I, what I felt in my heart?"


    The ward was silent.


    Jiang Zhey in bed, pretending to be guilty, "Dad, this was just an ident."


    "Huhu" Father Jiang was so angry his heart hurt. He didnt care anymore, opening the nket and pointing to Jiang Zhes left leg, "ident? Take a good look at your leg. The doctor said that even if you recover in the future, your leg will have a lifelong disability. Youll be a cripple in the future, and you tell me this is only an ident?"


    Jiang Hao was "stunned on the spot". The others also avoided his gaze. His voice was a little erratic, "Dad, what did you just say happened to my leg?"


    Father Jiang froze. His son had just woken up and the doctor also instructed them not to tell him his situation immediately in case he couldnt take the blow.


    He was simply too angry just now. Hearing his sons question now, he calmed down, and a cold fine sweat had already gathered on his back.


    Mother Jiang couldnt bear to be harsh,forting him: "Zheer, your dad was just spouting nonsense, don''t listen to him. When you heal up properly, this leg will be fine."


    Jiang Zhe didnt listen, stubbornly saying: "Mom, can you help me call the doctor over?"


    Mother Jiang stood still without moving, only continuing persuading him.


    Jiang Zhe suddenly turned over and pressed the bell by the bed. Mother Jiang wanted to stop it, but was toote.


    Not long after, the doctor came.


    Under the Jiang familys eyes, Jiang Zhe maintained an unusual calmness. He meticulously asked about his own injuries, and the doctor told him everything after some hesitation.


    Ten minutester, the doctor left.


    The elegant ward was so silent, a falling needle could be heard. Even breathing became more difficult with the heavy pressure.


    Jiang Zhe lowered his head and his expression couldnt be seen: "You all go out, I want to be alone."


    "Zheer"


    "Jiang Zhe."


    "Get out!" No one expected him to suddenly explode, throwing the cup on the cab, the ss shattering into pieces.


    "Get out!!!"


    Mo Ling guarded the two elderly. She knew that ording to Jiang Zhe''s temper, he was definitely on the verge of copse right now, refusing to listen to anyone persuading him. It would be better for them to leave, preserving thest of his dignity.


    Mo Ling dragged Jiang Zhes parents away. The door had just closed when the sound of things falling came from within, mixed with the desperate roar of a man.


    Mother Jiang covered her mouth and cried continuously. If it wasnt for Mo Ling holding her back, she would have rushed in already.


    Mother Jiang hit Father Jiangs chest, "Its all your fault. The doctor already said not to stimte Zheer, but you still told him. Do you even have your child in your heart.


    Father Jiangs face was ugly, but he didnt refute.


    That stinky boy was really too infuriating. He couldnt supress his anger for a moment, but now he was also extremely regretful.


    They only had this single seedling that they had spoilt since young.


    Jiang Zhe also grew up getting what he wanted, his character was extremely proud.Now that he had to face a huge change, they didnt know if he would be able to get through it.


    Father Jiang was worried, and deep in his heart, he also absolutely hated that so-called club.


    His healthy son had be like this today, those who encouraged him couldnt get away scot-free.


    The Jiang family teamed up with the police. In a short period of time, not only did they investigate the so-called second-generation wealthy club, they also seized a lot of drugs. Those who deserved to be arrested were arrested, those who needed to enter the rehab centre entered the rehab centre.


    Fortunately, their speed was timely, and they even saved a pair of sisters who were about to be raped.


    The police charged those rich second-generations with the crime of attempted rape.For a time, Dragon City was full of police sirens.


    Father Jiang did not stop at this. He also dealt heavy blows against the businesses of the families that had encouraged Jiang Zhe.


    Towards this matter, the several old established families in Dragon City didnt intervene to stop it.


    This wasnt a joke!


    The Jiang family only had a single seedling. Now that Jiang Zhe was seriously injured and had a future disability, the upper circles all knew about it.


    Father Jiangs crazy revenge was all reasonable.If this happened to anyone else, they also wouldnt be able to withstand it.


    Although, it was also Jiang Zhes fault and what he deserved.However, this kind of thought only lingered in their minds, no one would be stupid enough to say it out loud.


    Of course, there was another reason being that the Young Master Jiang really wasnt careful in selecting his friends.The families that Father Jiang suppressed all had bad reputations in Dragon City. With Father Jiang taking care of them, it gave the local smallpanies a chance to breathe.


    Therefore, Young Master Jiangs injuries werent entirely worthless 23333 (hahahaha)


    The storm raged outside, but the Jiang family was silent like still water.


    After Jiang Zhe came home, he shut himself in his room every day, not even turning on the lights. He only ate a few mouthfuls of rice when he was starving. After a few months, he had already be so thin his bones were jutting out, looking extremely like a weak patient.


    Father and Mother Jiang were extremely distressed, and Mo Lings heart was also ufortable.


    Once again, she gave Jiang Zhe a meal. Seeing the untouched dishes outside the door, the anger that had been lingering for a long time in her heartpletely ignited.


    She took out the spare key and opened the door. While Jiang Zhe tried to stop her, she forcibly opened the curtains.


    The bright sunshine outside the window shone in instantly. Like a vampire who couldnt be in the sun, he desperately shrank in one corner.


    Jiang Zhe was very weak, "What are you doing, close the curtains, get out, get out."


    Mo Lings face was cold. Not only did she not leave, she even switched on the room lights.


    Jiang Zhe screamed hoarsely: "What are you doing, don''t turn on the lights, get out."


    Mo Ling turned a deaf ear.She was wearing high heels. "Dong dong" walking to him, she violently dragged him into the bathroom despite Jiang Zhes weak struggles.


    The mirror reflected an unkempt, bearded and indescribably thin man.


    Jiang Zhe suddenly took a look and got a shock, retreating continuously.


    Mo Ling grabbed his head and pressed it into the sink. Turning on the tap, cold water poured over his head, freezing cold.


    Mo Ling: "Are you awake now?"


    Jiang Zhe just struggled.


    Mo Ling hardened her heart, taking the showerhead down, and spraying cold water on Jiang Zhes body.


    "Are you awake?" she asked again.Listening carefully, her voice trembled slightly.


    Jiang Zhe roared and broke free of her, falling to the grown. Water continued to drip down his face, looking like tears.


    JiangZhe: "Why are you still managing me?"


    Mo Ling: "You are my husband."


    Jiang Zhughed lowly, thenughed louder and louder, saying in self-ridicule: "You have a ten-year contract with my dad. Its just a matter of buying and selling, how am I your husband."


    Mo Ling''s pupils shrunk, "You know"


    Jiang Zherubbed his chin, "Im already a cripple, that contract is also voided now. You can leave."


    Mo Ling remained silent.


    Jiang Zhe: "Leave!!"


    Mo Ling: "I said before, you are my husband."


    "At least within these ten years, I have seen you as a husband. For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part, we will be husband and wife."


    Jiang Zhe''s throat was blocked, and a warm current flowed into his heart.That warmth almost made him want to cry.


    The vows he had made were vividly in his memories, but now he had already changed.


    He took a deep breath and calmed down a lot, "Youre talking about ordinary couples, we are not."


    Mo Ling was also frustrated to anger by his stubbornness, "Jiang Zhe, your brain is moldy, do I still need to wash it for you again? I said that we are husband and wife, no matter how it starts, the process and oue will not change. In the eyes of outsiders, we are one."


    After a long silence.


    Mo Ling couldn''t stand the atmosphere and went to pull Jiang Zhe up, but he only fell weakly to the ground again, his eyes unfocused.


    His cracked lips opened and closed, as if chanting.She went closer and listened.


    "Mo Ling, I really like you."


    Mo Lings hand that was about to help him up froze mid-air and her mind went nk.


    Mo Ling, why isnt the "Ling" in your name not the "Lin" from ice cream (bing qi lin)?


    I like to eat ice cream the most.


    ALing, I really think were verypatible.You have talent, I have the looks. Doesnt that make us have both talent and appearance?


    One by one, the past scenes shed past her heart and head. Mo Ling closed her eyes weakly.


    Jiang Zhe, this is really thest time Ill believe in you.


    Jiang Zhe listened to the system describing the current situation, his heart heaving a sigh of relief. Thankfully the original soul knew how to flirt, constantly vowing his unchanging love.


    In fact, the original soul had long known about the contract, but he didnt care about it so he hadnt mentioned it. Just nice, it was now taken advantage of by Jiang Zhe.


    Later on, his rtionship with Mo Ling broke down solely due to his inability to refuse the temptation of the outside yboy world. After that, when he couldnt stand Mo Ling ignoring him, it was probably due to his heart ying tricks on him.


    The original souls anticipated marriage status was probably: The colourful gs flutter outside, but the red g in the house doesnt fall.


    Thats why he left early ?

    <strong>The Crazy Dog Who Became A Loyal Hound (4)</strong>


    On the autumn morning, there was already a slight drizzle.However, on such a morning, a man held onto a crutch and walked with difficulty, beside him stood a woman in a set of tight-fitting sportswear.


    Mo Ling ran a few steps, turned and looked back, pping her hands at Jiang Zhe, encouraging: "Do your best, AZhe, you walked one meter more than yesterday. I believe that youll recover soon."


    Jiang Zhe smiled and nodded. Large beads of sweat dripped down the side of his handsome face, his eyes shining brightly like the rising sun.


    Mo Ling quietly watched him walk step by step towards her. When he got close, he gave her a big hug.


    She hooked her lips up, and her eyes hadughter within them too.


    During these days of recovery, they were together from morning to night. Mo Ling truly experienced that Jiang Zhe had really changed.


    The willfulness in the past had been kept. Overnight, he had grown up and be matured.


    Its nice.


    She pushed the man away and took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, smiling: "Todays practice shall end here. Lets go home, ok?"


    Jiang Zhe: "En."


    Jiang family.


    Mother Jiang had long instructed the maids to make a rich breakfast, and was waiting anxiously in the living room.


    Father Jiang looked up from his newspaper and looked at her from the side of his eyes, "What are you anxious about? Xiao Ling is watching over him, Zheer will be fine."


    Mother Jiang rolled her eyes at him. Youre not anxious? If youre not anxious, then why did you get up so early?


    While the two were talking, the door opened and Mo Ling helped Jiang Zhe to walk in.


    Although Father Jiang felt heartache at how thin his son had be, but seeing that pair of bright spirited eyes, his mood instantly brightened as well.


    Now, he was working hard to recover and actively cooperated. The doctor said that although the probability of recovery was minimal, as long as he continued to maintain this good mood, and with a little cover up, he would look like a normal person.


    This was undoubtedly good news for Jiangs family.


    What''s more, after the ident, Zheer no longer went out to fool around, and also broke contact with his shady friends.He stayed at home every day, practicing and learning.


    His effort when he was serious made him finally look like an heir.


    How could Father Jiangs heart not feel gratified?


    The heavens didnt treat their Jiang family poorly.Sure enough, the old saying goes, if you survived a big misfortune, there would be a blessing waiting at the end.


    It also allowed him to see how good a daughter-inw Xiao Ling was.


    His life was really worth it.


    Father Jiang kept away his gratitude in his heart and red at his son habitually, "Only knowing how to show off, making your mother wait for so long."


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" Mother Jiang immediately defended her son.Her son had now be so well-behaved and motivated, dont know what that old man was unsatisfied about.


    Jiang Zhe and Mo Ling didnt take it to heart.


    After eating breakfast, Jiang Zhe returned to the room, turned on theputer, and started to study.


    Mo Ling carried a bag and stood behind him, greeting him, "Jiang Zhe, Im going to work."


    Jiang Zhe turned back, his mouth had a trace ofughter, and slightly nodded, "I know, go."


    Mo Ling subconsciously smiled back, turned and left.


    Such days were calm and peaceful.Time passed by unknowingly.In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.


    In the past, Mo Ling always celebrated the New Year at the Jiang family, and only returned to her maternal family on the third day.


    However, there were some exceptions this year. At the dinner table, Jiang Zhe suddenly suggested: "Since our home is big, why dont we invite father-inw and mother-inw over to celebrate the New Year?"


    Mo Lings hand that was reaching out for a dish paused, and she turned to look at him with amazement.


    Father Jiang didnt immediately express his position and asked Jiang Zhe instead: How did you suddenly have this idea?


    Jiang Zhe held Mo Lings hand. Im Mo Lings husband. Her parents are my parents. Gathering together as a family would be a lively reunion, wouldnt it?


    Mo Ling looked down and felt the temperatureing from the back of her hand. Sourness, bitterness, sweetness and saltiness mixed together in her heart, extremelyplicated.


    Father Jiang smiled heartily, Deal, this year we will invite our inws over. Zheer is right, our one family should gather together.


    Jiang Zhes lips hooked upwards. He buried his head and ate silently.


    In the original souls memory, Father Mo was ambitious beyond his capability, looking high and far away. After being forced to quit gambling, his heart died, and he watched his days pass in a daze.


    Mother Mo was timid, without any opinion of her own, and very quiet, the kind of person that couldnt be found in a crowd.


    However, when Jiang Zhe really saw the two, he discovered that the original souls evaluation of Father and Mother Mo was biased.


    Rather than saying that the two were timid, it was better to say that they had a general public mentality*.


    When they walked into such a rich house, they were definitely clumsy, unable to adapt to the sudden change in environment. Coupled with Father Mos previous lesson from his failure, it was naturally difficult to have a good impression.


    Jiang Zhe followed Mo Ling and personally picked up the two, making the old Mo family couple surprisingly ttered.


    In the car, Mother Mo took out a live chicken from a woven bag, scaring Jiang Zhe.


    "Son, son-inw, I heard Xiao Ling say that your legs arent well yet. This is the chicken I bought from the countryside. It can nourish you."


    Mother Mo stuttered, holding chicken, but not having any spirit like the chicken.


    At least the chicken was still clucking, voicing its happiness.


    Jiang Zhe:


    Mo Ling''s face slipped a little, advising: "Mom, what can''t the Jiang family buy? You dont need to trouble yourself to bring it."


    Mother Mo tried to exin, "This is a little gift of sincerity."


    "This chicken, is one that your father found someone to inspect."


    Father Mo sat by the side, looking down and minding his own business. Of course, if his hands werent trembling it would be more perfect.


    Mo Ling was very tired emotionally.She knew that her parents had good intentions, but Jiang Zhe may not think so.


    She cleared her throat and tried to regain some dignity for her parents, "AZhe, my parents they"


    "Thank you for Mom and Dads good intentions, I like it very much." He suddenly voiced out, interrupting Mo Ling''s unfinished words.


    Father and Mother Mo sat even more properly, an embarrassed smile on their faces, looking like primary school students who had just been praised by their teacher.


    Mo Ling: (x;)


    Never mind her mother, after all she was especially self-deprecating and couldnt listen to praises. But why is her dad also


    Jiang Zhe was more clear than Mo Ling. Thinking about why Father Mo started gambling, it was nothing more than the difference between reality and his ideals causing him to lose his confidence.They didn''t need an especially materialistic lifestyle, they only needed a little praise to regain their confidence.


    Alright, it also depended on whose affirmation they received.


    The original soul didnt like Mo Ling much before, let alone respect her parents. The huge contrast now thus made the two feel ttered, liking it a lot.


    When they got off the car, Jiang Zhe was inconvenienced by his legs. Mother Mo picked up everything and pushed her old man, Go help our daughter to support our son-inw. Son-inw is still injured but he still came to pick you up.


    Father Mo happily gave a "hehe" and didnt get annoyed. Together with his daughter, one on each side, they helped Jiang Zhe out of the car.


    Jiang Zhe: !!!


    A line of people entered the house, and the maid served tea. Jiang Zhe turned his head and asked, "Father-inw, what would Mother-inw like to drink?"


    Father Mo smiled and waved his hand, "Nothing special, anything will do." Mother Mo hurriedly agreed.


    Jiang Zhe looked at Mo Ling.


    Mo Ling ced a fist to her mouth, covering the smile on her lips, "My dad likes to drink green tea. My mom likes to drink orange juice."


    Jiang Zhe: "Alright. Ill have to trouble Aunty Ning to bring a cup of green tea and a cup of orange juice."


    Father and Mother Mo became more embarrassed, but smiles remained on their faces.


    Father Jiang saw this and raised his eyebrows. Looking at the situation, Zheer had really be sincere.


    Quite good.


    During the idle chat afterwards, Father Jiang deliberately avoided some professional problems and turned to recall the past with Father Mo.


    Two people, like the most ordinary old man, sat together reminiscing.


    Mother Jiang dragged Mother Mo to chat.The four people talked about their own topics, extremely lively.


    At lunch time, Father Mo looked like he still wanted to chat more, butpared to the original souls impression of his dead appearance, there was more energy and smiles in his eyes and face.


    Mo Ling secretly turned her head away and quickly wiped her eyes. Jiang Zhe held her hands and gave her a soothing look.


    The meal was eaten in happiness.


    After the meal, Father and Mother Jiang took the Mo parents out for a walk in the garden. When they were tired, they moved some chairs over and sat there, drinking tea, chatting and enjoying the scenery, veryfortable.


    Jiang Zhe pulled back Mo Ling who was watching from the window, and kissed her forehead gently.


    "Don''t worry, Mom and Dad are very good people."


    Mo Ling nodded heavily. Her eyes were red and she clung to the man in front of her, choking out: "I know. Thank you, AZhe."


    Jiang Zhe patted her back and sighed, "Silly, you said that we are husband and wife. Husband and wife are one, why would you need to say thank you."


    Mo Ling sniffed and replied: "En."


    For Father Jiang to reach such heights today, other than his own personal efforts, he also had the support and help of his good wife. Both of them were people with high EQ.


    As long as they had the intentions, the average person would feel heartfelt pleasure when talking to them.


    Under the Jiang parents urging, Father and Mother Mo stayed till the fifteenth day before returning.


    Jiang Zhe and Mo Ling personally sent them back. When they separated, the Mo parents even gave their daughter a big hug.


    Father and Mother Mo: "Xiao Ling, your father-inw, mother inw and AZhe are all good-hearted people. You have to get along with them in the future, understand?"


    Mo Ling nodded.


    Mother Mo was pleased, "Knowing that youre doing well, Mom can also rest assured."


    Mo Ling: "Mom"


    While the mother and daughter were talking, Jiang Zhepulled Father Mo to the side, chatting quietly.


    On the way back after saying goodbye, Mo Ling asked Jiang Zhe: "What did you say to my dad?"


    Jiang Zhe wasserious: "Nothing."


    Mo Ling:


    Do you think Im blind?


    Forget it, seeing that her parents'' mood was so good, she was also relieved.


    At most, she could call her mother to ask when she got home.


    However, the face pping came too fast.


    No matter what she said on the phone, her mother denied it.


    Mo Ling couldn''t do anything.She hurriedly hung up the phone.On the other end of the phone, Father Mo secretly asked Mother Mo, "You didnt say anything right?"


    Mother Mo: "No. Hu, how dangerous. I didnt know Xiao Ling was so smart, I almost couldnt resist."


    Father Mos face was serious, "If its like this, Ill answer the next time Xiao Ling calls. Wait till weve prepared the things, then well give her a big surprise."


    As for whether she would be more surprised or happy, it was a matter of opinion.


    On the Jiang familys side, Jiang Zhe had mostly recovered. Father Jiang specially customized shoes for him. The shoes worn on his left foot were covered with ayer of thick velvet. When he walked, he was no different from others.


    Under Father Jiangs urging, Jiang Zhe finally entered thepany.His body was perfect, and after this period of hard training, his arms and lower abdomen had vague muscle lines, tall and slim.When he wore an expensive tailored suit and proudly walked through thepany''s door, he shocked many employees and their jaws hit the floor.


    The employees'' inner thoughts: FMLLLLL, that proper, intimidating and spirited man was their little Jiang boss, that ignorant and ipetent second-generation. Oh my god, the world was bing unreal!!!


    *General public mentality  Examples include: Calctive, only caring about the benefits to themselves, bully the weak but afraid of the strong, always using money to look at things,cking in goals, narrow-vision, short-sighted. More or less putting themselves first before anything.

    Chapter 49


    <strong>The Crazy Dog Who Became A Loyal Hound (5)</strong>


    The entire Jiang Group building was full of high-tech facilities.


    Young CEO Jiang and Director Jiang both have their own designated elevators. Raising their hands, they pressed the button for the floor in the middle of the building.


    Director Jiang was a person who had gone through hardships, thus their offices were not panoramic or trendy at all.


    On the contrary, it followed the 19xx tradition ofst century. The office was filled with a veteran atmosphere, not seeking beauty or grandeur, only seeking one thing, which is the convenience of working while having an escape route if anything happened.


    Every time a big client came to the Group to discuss business, they would always silently criticise the office in their hearts. Over time, Director Jiangs "stinginess" becamemon knowledge.


    However, Jiang Zhe adapted well.It was probably because he also preferred a simpler style.


    With a "ding" sound, they arrived.Young CEO Jiang walked out of the elevator. A man and a woman were holding documents and standing at the door.Seeing him, they were shocked, "Greetings, Young CEO Jiang."


    This scene was entirely recorded by a camera and sent back to the Jiang family.


    Father and Mother Jiang sat together and watched their son''s savvy andpetent aura, extremely satisfied.


    Father Jiang: "One can lose to people, but not lose to themselves. Zheers imposing aura has long left the rest of his peers in the dust. It''s not bad, not bad."


    Mother Jiang had a smile on her mouth, "Of course. I told you earlier that our son is talented. Its just that he didnt follow the right path. Look at what happened, he grew up overnight, bing matured. As his mother, I can also rest assured."


    Father Jiang strongly agreed.


    Jiang Group.


    "Young CEO Jiang, this are the documents Director Jiang specifically instructed for you to review."


    "Young CEO Jiang, Director Jiang instructed you that you have an important meeting at 11 o''clock this morning, I will remind you at 10.45a.m."


    "Young CEO Jiang"


    Towards Young CEO Jiang adaptability, the two secretaries were somewhat surprised.


    Sure enough, ginger was spicier when older.When Director Jiang announced that the Young CEO Jiang wasing to thepany, many people secretly ridiculed Director Jiang for being muddled.Now it seems that Director Jiang had clearly considered everything already, training his son well before inserting him into thepany.


    Dont know how many people who wanted to see him make a fool of himself had their faces pped swollen, hehe.


    The two secretaries reported their work and left quickly. The heavy door closed gently and the room was quiet again.


    Jiang Zhe sat in the office chair, skillfully turned on theputer, and swept through the information.


    At 10:45a.m., the male secretary came in to remind him.He packed up and lifted his foot, walking to the meeting room.


    Throughout the day, Jiang Zhe was busy like a spinning top. At night, when the employees were gone, he this Young CEO Jiang still had to work overtime.


    He looked at the dense information on theputer screen, and suddenly thought that he had returned to the original world.When he first entered thepany, it was the same. He worked overtime every day, trying to finish his unending work.


    Sometimes he thought, working so hard, being so busy, what exactly was he doing it for?


    Jiang Zhe massaged between his eyes and leaned back on his chair.


    After a long while, he opened his mouth and sighed silently, it was all for life.


    Others only saw his morous surface, but didnt see the amount of effort he had put in behind the scenes.


    Jiang Zhe shook his head, sending a message to his parents at home as well as Mo Ling.


    At midnight, he finally took his car keys and went home tiredly.


    The house was dark. The others were probably asleep.Jiang Zhe treaded lightly and took a quick shower before climbing into bed gently.


    "Wu." Mo Ling whined. Rubbing her eyes, she switched on the bedsidemp and sat up halfway on the bed.


    Jiang Zhe paused and whispered: Sorry, Xiao Ling, I woke you up."


    Mo Ling shook her head, Youre also tired, quickly go to sleep.


    Jiang Zhe took off his shoes and climbed into the bed. Mo Ling went back to sleep.Jiang Zhe turned off the light, ced a hand on her waist like a half hug, and quickly fell asleep.


    The next day, he got up early again.Treading gingerly, he washed and dressed up, casually eating something before driving to thepany.


    The two secretaries who had followed Father Jiang for a long time were really convinced.It seemed that the rumours were wrong.Young CEO Jiang was such a hardworking person, yet had been called a rich yboy by others. Then what were they, waste?


    However, a small piece of news quickly spread, saying that the Young CEO Jiang had an ident and almost lost his life. This finally prompted him to change himself, turning over a new leaf and being a good person, cough, turning over his prodigal behaviour.


    No matter how others looked at him, Jiang Zhe went to work on time every day and often worked overtime.After getting familiar with thepany''s processes, he was finally able to get off work on time.


    Father Jiang listened to the report from his confidant, his grin stretching from ear to ear.


    Mother Jiang took a picture of him, "What are you doing, smiling so, cough, creepily."


    Father Jiang was not happy, "What are you talking about. How am I creepy."


    Mother Jiang secretly rolled her eyes.


    Father Jiang pretended he didn''t see it, happily saying, "Zheer can finally independently face everything. My old bones can also rest now."


    Mother Jiang said unhappily: "Arent you just trying to oppress your son?"


    Father Jiang: "You don''t understand this. Theres a saying that capable people do more work. Im just giving our son more space to expand his horizons. Right, havent you always wanted to travel overseas? Now that Zheer can manage thepany, since we are free now, why dont I go buy some ne tickets and we go overseas to y?


    This Mother Jiang was moved, but she was still a little hesitant, Although Zheer has learnt how, but without your supervision, Im afraid


    Father Jiang: "What are you afraid of, thepany still has that group of old things, nothing will happen."


    Mother Jiangs mouth twitched, but she ultimately agreed.


    At this side, the Jiang parents were sparing no efforts to go against their son. On the other hand, the Mo parents gave their daughters a big surprise.


    Mo Ling looked at the pictures on her handphone and simply couldn''t believe it.


    Soon, the phone rang and she pressed the answer button.


    Father Mo: "Xiao Ling,are you happy, are you surprised, hahahahahahahaha"


    "Your mother and I are now more or less a boss hahahahaha."


    "This is all thanks to Son-inw. If he didnt help us sponsor some capital, I would still be idling at home with nothing to do. How could I be the way I am today, very active every day?"


    Mo Ling hadnt spoken yet when her dad bombarded her with his words.


    Mo Ling:


    Mo Ling: "Forget it, as long as youre happy."


    Father Moughed out loud, "Of course Im happy. Your mother is also happy. Sheughs every day while counting money. Your mother is that kind of person, with long hair but short vision, happily counting that small amount of money."


    "If you have the capabilities, then dont count it." Mother Mos voice of dissatisfaction sounded through the phone.


    The phone seemed to be taken away. After a while, she heard Father Mo say: "However, your mom is bing fiercer, not as gentle as before."


    Mo Ling quietly listened to her dad''s ints". For the first time, she didnt feel that her familys long story was annoying.


    More than ten minutes passed, and Father Mo concluded, saying: "Alright. You two young couple enjoy your days together. Your mom and I are doing very well, you dont have to worry about us, bye bye."


    "Beep beep -" the phone was hung up. Mo Ling lowered her eyes, hiding the smile in her eyes.


    Before going to bed at night, Mo Ling suddenly hugged her man from behind, softly saying: "The thing with Dad and Mom, thank you."


    Jiang Zhe paused for a moment, and then patted her hand, "Its nothing, as long as our family is happy."


    Back then, he had gotten someone to buy a piece ofnd and encouraged Father and Mother Mo to do some farm work. He initially just wanted to find something for the two people to do, and if they ran into any problems, they could give him a call and he would help out as much as he could. He didnt expect that Father and Mother Mo would be greatly encouraged, and actually start doing farm work. With a semnce of regrity, at least when they were busy working, the two of them wouldnt have any room to think errant thoughts.


    Jiang Zhe thought, this time he performed so well. If he invited Mo Ling to go out and y, Mo Ling probably wouldnt reject him.


    Unfortunately, before he even opened his mouth to ask, the next day at the dining table, Father Jiang took the lead and announced that he was going to apany Mother Jiang to go overseas.


    Jiang Zhe:


    He felt that he needed a bottle of fast-acting pills for heart pain now = =


    Jiang Zhe said goodbye to his parents with a wooden face and then went home.


    He saw Mo Ling sitting on the sofa watching TV.The maids went about the house cleaning up, and he had an idea.


    Who said that a two-person world could only be done outside?


    Jiang Zhe waved his hands in a flourish, giving the maids a week worth of leave. In the day, he quickly handled thepanys business, in the afternoon, he rushed back home. Single-handedly, he arranged the room, red wine, candles, steaks, etc.


    When Mo Ling returned home, the house was pitch ck.When she was about to turn on the lights, she was stopped by someone.


    "Don''t move." In the dim environment, the deliberately lowered male voice lingered, instantly creating an ambiguous atmosphere.


    "Shua", the candles on the square table were lit, and the orange-yellow fire jumped slightly. Jiang Zhe walked to her step by step, with his back against the candlelight.


    Jiang Zhe: "Youve worked hard today, take a break." He led Mo Ling to the square table, pulled out the chair and let her sit down.


    Turning around and setting up the phonograph, music sounded slowly in the air.For a moment, Mo Ling thought she had gone back to the past.


    Jiang Zhe: "Try my handicraft."


    The steak was cooked just right  tender, juicy and fragrant. Mo Ling ate a few mouths, picked up her wine ss and took a sip. However, she heard a strange sound.


    cing it under the light, she took a closer look. There turned out to be an actual ring inside.


    Jiang Zhe had walked over at some point of time, "I was constantly thinking that since were starting over again, then this marriage proposal is indispensable."


    "Xiao Ling, are you willing to spend a lifetime with me?"


    Mo Ling looked at him, her eyes moved slightly and her tears fell.


    She said: "Im willing."


    Five yearster.


    On the bustling street, a man sat in the driver''s seat, ck sunsses covering half his face. Under the straight bridge of his nose, his thin lips were slightly curved upwards, and the tailored suit outlined his sculpted body.


    No matter which angle one looked from, this was a very attractive man.


    However, he was only handsome for three seconds.


    A cute toddler wearing a cartoon top suddenly jumped up from the back seat, his small hand patting the mans shoulder, "Dad, younger sister is peeing again, quicklye and change her diaper."


    Under the sunsses, the mans mouth twitched. The system saw it andughed out loudly, gloating at his situation.


    System: "Hehe, Jiang Zhe, you also have this day ah, hahahahahahaha"


    Jiang Zhe took off his sunsses, revealing his handsome face.Then he gave into his fate and changed his little daughters diapers.


    At this time, the car door opened, and a stylishly dressed woman sat in. The toddler suddenly rushed over and acted cute, "Mom, did you buy my favourite ice cream?"


    Someone who had just changed his daughters diaper also looked up, drawling meaningfully: "Yeah, the ice cream that I ate a few days ago was so sweet."


    Mo Ling blushed and red at him with shame. He was already a father of two, yet he was still so inappropriate.

    Chapter 50


    <strong>Ending Chapter</strong>


    Jiang Zhe blurrily opened his eyes. He only saw the white light above his head swaying brightly, making his eyes dizzy.


    A nurse came over to help him, and asked with concern: "Sir, are you alright?"


    Jiang Zhe shook his head.The nurse saw that he really wasnt in any difort, then turned and left to do her own things.


    Jiang Zhe staggered over to a row of seats by the wall and sat down.Leaning against the wall, his eyes went nk.After waiting for a long while, he finally covered his face with his hands andughed lowly.


    Laughing andughing, two lines of clear tears spilled out between his fingers.


    [The g host transformation is sessful, returning to the original world. As a reward, the lofty system can fulfil a wish of yours.]


    [ My wish, my wish is, save Lin Xuan. I want her to be healthy and alive.]


    [<strong>Ok</strong>, your wish has beenpleted, <strong>goodbye</strong> O ( _ ) O ~ ~] Although it was still a mechanical voice, but Jiang Zhe still heard a trace of joy in it.


    Then he came back.


    The red light in the emergency room went out and the door opened. Jiang Zhe quickly went forward, his lower lip trembling as he asked: "Doctor, how is thedy inside?"


    The doctor smiled lightly: "Fortunately, she was sent here in time. After the emergency treatment, she is stable.


    Jiang Zhe only felt that for a moment, his body strengthpletely flowed out.


    He stood to the side and gave way to the doctors and nurses.When he saw the woman who was being pushed out from the emergency room, his eyes turned red uncontrobly.


    The nurse thought they were husband and wife, and whispered to herpanion: "This is the first time Ive seen a man so worried about his wife, and hes handsome to boot."


    Thepanion poured cold water over her, "Wake up, even if hes handsome, he belongs to others."


    Little nurse: QAQ!


    Lin Xuan was sent to the general ward. Jiang Zhe paid the medical bill and kept watch over her in the ward.


    The next day, when the morning sun shone through the ss window, Lin Xuan woke up weakly. She looked at the man who was still sleeping on the bed, her eyesplex.


    Was what happened in those worlds her daydream, or did it really happen?


    If it was a dream, it was too much like reality.But if it was true


    Lin Xuanughed bitterly, how could that be?She had known Jiang Zhe for more than ten years. She pursued him since they were students. Towards his aloofness, his coldness and his serious attitude, she was only too familiar with it.


    To be so close to each other, and even sleeping unguardedly by her side, was really incredible.


    She reach out tentatively and touched the man''s head gently.


    Jiang Zhe''s eyshes trembled and he opened his eyes.


    Lin Xuan who was caught doing bad things:


    Lin Xuan licked her lips and said in a difficult tone: "Jiang Zhe, I"


    Jiang Zhe had not fully awakened when he smoothly pulled over the womans hand and rubbed it on his cheeks.


    This action made both of them stunned.


    Lin Xuan suddenly had a bold guess. She swallowed her saliva and asked: "Jiang Zhe, do you know a woman named Li Cai Wei?"


    Jiang Zhes pupils shrank violently.


    Lin Xuan: "What about Xu Qing? Do you know Xu Qing? Qin Qing? Pei Yun, or Mo Ling?"


    Jiang Zhe remained silent.


    Lin Xuan suddenly felt a powerless sense of defeat. Shey in bed dispiritedly, her eyes nk.


    Sure enough, it was all her delusion.How ironic, even in her dreams, all she could think about was that man.


    She was immersed in her own grief when suddenly a shadow loomed over her head. Jiang Zhe leaned closer, his eyes sparkling with emotions that she couldnt understand.


    She heard him say, "I didn''t expect you to remember too."


    Lin Xuans pupils shrank, "You"


    Her forehead felt a little moist, just a quick peck. By the time she had reacted, her entire person had be silly.


    She heard the man''s lowughter lingering in her ear, "AXuan, whether it was in those so-called worlds or in reality, youre always so cute."


    "It''s nice," he sighed.


    Lin Xuan: !!!


    Lin Xuan: "You"


    Jiang Zheheld her hand and said softly: "Im sorry. Because of some hypocritical reasons, Ive dyed you for so many years. Could you give me another chance now, a chance to pursue you anew?"


    He stood there against the light. Lin Xuan couldn''t quite see his expression, but she still remembered his pair of deep eyes.


    She had never refused him, she knew.


    Lin Xuan closed her eyes and smacked him in embarrassment, "Jiang Zhe, youre really the bane of my existence."


    After Lin Xuan was discharged from the hospital, both of them resigned from their originalpany. Theirpany boss tried to persuade them for a very long time, but unfortunately they had made up their minds and hardened their hearts, walking away without even looking back.


    Lin Xuan still couldnt believe that this was all reality, so after the two resigned, they immediately went to register for marriage.


    Jiang Zhe was deeply sorry, "I cant give you a grand wedding right now, Ive really wronged you."


    Lin Xiao gave a loving smile and raised the red book in her hand. "It doesn''t matter, this is enough."


    Jiang Zhe huggedher waist and kissed her mouth, whispering: "Two years, as long as you give me two years, I will be able to give you a grand wedding and a prosperous life."


    Lin Xuan lowered her forehead to his, their eyes meeting and she suddenlyughed, "Okay, Ill wait."


    In order to support Jiang Zhe''s business start-up, the two took out all their savings.


    In the worlds that the system created for him, he couldn''t differentiate what was real and fake. There was just one thing he could differentiate  the knowledge that he had umted were all real.


    He had also been a CEO in several worlds. In addition to his current world''s originalwork and his own strength, he already had a head-start. It was simply a small issue.


    Two yearster, Jiang Zhe elevated his status to a new upstart. He was handsome, rich and knowledgeable, and just as the various wealthy families were tripping over themselves to rush to him.


    Jiang Zhe  Director Jiang suddenly announced that he was going to hold a wedding. It was simply lightning on a clear blue sky, alright??


    The lines of wealthydies queuing up to attack Jiang Zhe were all about to cry. They still thought that the gossip about Director Jiang having a lover was just a rumour.


    Their faces were all being pped right now, dont you think so?


    On the wedding day, the groom was dressed in a tailored suit. Under the witness of their respective rtives and friends, he made a moving vow with his beautiful bride.


    But howe there was no ring?


    Eh!!!What kind of wedding was this, where the bride was already wearing the ring? What were they doing??


    There were a lot of people talking about it.Jiang Zhe took the microphone, "Everyone."


    The crowd quieted down.


    Jiang Zhe pulled his wife''s hand and intertwined their fingers. He smiled and said: "This wedding is actually a bted one. My beloved and I had already registered our marriage two years ago."


    Onlookers: (  || |)_


    Jiang Zhe: "At that time, I was still a nameless man, however she still married me without hesitation."


    Jiang Zhe turned his head to look at Lin Xuan and moved the microphone away. Using a volume only the two of them could hear, "I hope you dont disdain this bted wedding ceremony."


    Lin Xuan hooked her lips up and whispered: "I dont disdain it. However, Im afraid that those butterflies watching Director Jiang from outside would have a new topic to talk about now."


    Jiang Zhe couldnt help but shed tears whileughing. His wifes jealousy was really exceptionally big, but who asked him to like it?


    Jiang Zhe hugged her waist in one smooth movement and covered her soft lips.


    Lin Xuan was shocked for a moment before responding enthusiastically. The crowd was screaming and cheering in excitement.


    The next day, the city''s entertainment news was filled with the grand wedding of this couple, attracting the envy of countless people.


    The days after marriage were sweet and happy, but Jiang Zhe couldn''t help but want to treat Lin Xuan better.


    One day, he carried a suitcase and said to his wife who just woke up, "Let''s go out and travel."


    Lin Xuan touched his head. "No fever ah."


    Jiang Zheughed while crying. "ALing, Im serious. I have finished dealing with thepany''s affairs. We can leave this morning."


    Lin Xuan gently hit him and smiled, "Why so sudden? I havent prepared anything at all."


    Jiang Zhe kissed her mouth, hoarsely saying: "Because I still remember the birthday wish you made on your fifteenth birthday, to travel around the world with your favourite people."


    Lin Xuan was shocked: "You still remember that?"


    Jiang Zhe hugged her and sighed: "I thought I didn''t remember. But when I really faced my heart, I found out that I had unknowingly imprinted you on my heart long ago."


    "I remember all the tiny details about you very clearly. I even remember the first time you confessed to me, how red your face was and how jittery your words were." His voice was soft and gentle, like a flowing stream, soothing people with its magic.


    But!


    No matter how good the voice was, it couldnt cover up that the content of his words was so, so teasing.


    "Youre not allowed to talk about it anymore." Lin Xuan shrank in his arms, her ears red. After waiting for a long time, she finally said moodily: "You know how to bully me. For all I know, you wereughing at me back then."


    "I didnt." Jiang Zhe patted her back gently, his voice soft and peaceful, "What I really thought at that moment was, how could there be such a cute little girl in this world. Youre like a little sun, you should y with those sunny boys and not with a gloomy and indifferent person like me."


    Lin Xuan was anxious: "No, Jiang Zhe, youre very good."


    Jiang Zhe: "So thank you, ALing. Thank you for always being around me, letting me experience how warm the little sun is."


    Fortunately, I realised in time.Otherwise, if I couldnt be with you in this life, Im afraid that I could only live in a cold and deste world for the rest of my life.


    TN: END! So we have some questions answered now. His mission was to treat the FL well in each world. The synopsis is that he''s a g man because he treated the FL poorly in the past, which we don''t know about because it was before FL got into the car ident, and the system was to reform him to be a good lover.


    Anyway, my own personal opinion is that I didn''t actually really like this story. It''s kinda nd, not much plotline as one reviewer on NU mentioned. I prefer those with more tear-jerking moments like Face pping Devil or Heroic Death System (my favourites!! I also think BL seems to be more developed and sweeter). Nheless, since I started it and also since there wasn''t much chapters anyway I just decided to go through with it ? It''s really fluffy though, that''s all I can say.


    The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and
