Chapter 1744: Red Plaid Skirt 1
With the music guiding her steps, Feng Qingxue suddenly felt as though she had returned to a modern dance ball.
Gentle music, elegant dance steps, men and women with shoulders touching and speaking in whispers, the aroma of liquor wafting through the air, all blending into what could be called the splendor of luxurious attire and rich fragrance.
Lu Jiang hooked her slender, soft waist with one hand, "What are you thinking about?" She even stepped the wrong way and trod on his foot.
Feng Qingxue snapped back from her wandering thoughts, quickly changing her dance steps to match Lu Jiang’s rhythm. Everywhere she looked, there was only a dim black, gray, blue, and green, none of the vibrant colors she had glimpsed in her daze.
Lu Jiang asked again, and she curled her lips into a smile and said, "It’s my first time attending a dance like this, a bit nervous."
Lu Jiang didn’t believe her, but he knew the environment they were in didn’t permit further questioning, so he said, "If there’s a chance, I’ll bring you to the next dance again."
"It has to be when there’s a chance." When work is busy, she felt embarrassed leaving her post.
Sometimes she felt work was important, maintaining her economic independence while also contributing to rescue and healing. Sometimes she felt work was troublesome, for being busy she had neglected her family, neglected her loved ones, and time spent with her husband was scarce, leading to a monotonous married life over the years.
Luckily, she was born in an era where purity coexists with absurdity, where a sense of responsibility outweighed later generations, and social conduct was managed very strictly. Though some had affairs, they were ultimately a minority.
Luckily, Lu Jiang wasn’t like others, wholeheartedly devoted to her, otherwise she would still have to worry about the seven-year itch and such.
Lu Jiang naturally understood the implication of his wife’s words and whispered in her ear, "This phase is too important; neither of us can act impulsively. Let’s wait, wait until the new generation of successors comes, then we’ll step back and live a life that’s just the two of us."
