Chapter 1048: A Frank Meeting 2
Lu Jiang wrapped his arm around her shoulders dismissively, "What’s there to be afraid of? I am of upright spirit, easily warding off ghosts and deities. Besides, the ones appearing before my eyes are still people, so there’s even less reason to be frightened."
Though his words were not sweet nothings, they considerably eased Feng Qingxue’s mind.
At that moment, she didn’t need sweet words, but the plain truth from Lu Jiang.
"Ajiang, I don’t know why I’m here, because I come from a world that’s affluent, free, with advanced information, and a colorful life, and I’ve never believed in ghosts or spirits." Feng Qingxue hesitated before starting off this way.
Lu Jiang said in a deep voice, "If you don’t want to say it, then don’t; to me, you are you, no one else."
"If I don’t say it today, I’ll be even more scared to mention it in the future. I might end up hiding it from you for a lifetime, taking this secret with me to the grave." Feng Qingxue mustered her courage, "Ajiang, do you still remember the bet we made? We bet that in thirty to fifty years, the nation’s economy would soar, and the current scarcity of resources would no longer exist."
Lu Jiang immediately nodded, "I remember. Back then, I wondered, you knew nothing about economics, had no understanding of the nation’s financial situation, and you’ve always lived in the countryside or the army. How could you so confidently claim you would win, when even I couldn’t guarantee our country would develop to the unbelievable extent you described in a few decades."
Feng Qingxue laughed, "Because I am from that era!"
"What did you say?" Lu Jiang’s eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape, and Qingxue could see his tonsils.
