Chapter 188 - 182 So let’s get married
"This, well, it’s a long story." Tian Sangsang rubbed her chin.
"Then make it short," Jiang Jinghuai cast a fleeting glance at her.
Tian Sangsang hesitated for a moment and coughed guiltily, "Actually, you and I were both children once. You should know that a child’s world is beautiful and pure. We can’t bring the unpleasant matters between adults into their lives. At times like this, a little white lie is necessary. I told Yanyan a story. I said you were injured and wandered into a small mountain village, where I rescued you. You were so moved that you, uh, took the initiative... you get the idea."
Jiang Jinghuai seemed to let out a cold laugh.
Tian Sangsang continued, "But you had a mission, so you had to leave. Before you left, you promised to return for me and take me to the city. In this story, you’re like the general on an expedition, and I’m the faithful wife waiting at home day and night. The virtuous wife who scrimps and saves, enduring all kinds of hardships to raise the child by herself. She waits for the general to return in glory, achieving fame and fortune, dressed in finery, and granting her a ten-mile red dowry. Uh, ’That solitary sail carries away all her joys and sorrows. The countless willows by the dike can’t stop the rushing river. She watches spring flowers bloom and fall, autumn winds chase summer’s moon. Winter snow falls year after year. Waiting, she grows thinner than a fading flower.’"
Jiang Jinghuai’s cold laugh turned into surprise. Who would have thought this woman was actually well-read?
"After all, behind every successful man, there’s a woman who supports him silently. A woman who’s aged into bitter despair."
"You could be even more shameless," Jiang Jinghuai said grimly. Twisting the truth, blurring right and wrong!
Tian Sangsang laughed dryly, "Well, it’s not like I have much choice."
Before long, Jiang Jinghuai regained his composure and said, "The day after tomorrow, the rescue mission will end. The disaster survivors will be sent to shelters, and the logistical tasks will be handed over to specialized teams. Our team will also return. Since Yanyan is my son, I will take him with me."
His voice was like a straight line.
Terrifying, as it was only stating a fact.
