Chapter 344: Waiting for You to Come Back and Marry Me
"It seems your good news with the Si Family is drawing near!" Hu Fang said with a sour tone, "You're already calling her 'Mom'."
Today, her sister had only told her to come help cook to entertain the future daughter-in-law; she hadn't expected it to be the daughter of the Si Family.
Although they were capitalists, they were "red capitalists" who had helped the motherland during times of crisis.
What is so good about this dull fellow Jiang Cheng? If she had known it was so easy to hook up with the daughter of the Si Family, she would have brought her own son today.
"It should be soon," Hu Qian did not act modest; the young girl was already calling her 'Mom', so she was a member of their Jiang Family.
Hu Fang pursed her lips, "By the way, my Xiao Jun also wants to join the army; could you ask your brother-in-law to help look into it?"
"You've mentioned this several times. I've always said to let Xiao Jun lose some weight; how could he handle military training at over two hundred jin?"
Hu Fang was unhappy at these words, "Listen to you, what's wrong with being a little fat? Being as thin as a hemp stalk isn't good-looking either."
If you don't want to help, just say you don't want to help.
In the evening, Jiang Cheng sent Si Rong home, riding a "twenty-eight" bicycle.
"When are you going back to the army?" Si Rong pinched the corner of his shirt and asked with some reluctance.
Jiang Cheng rode steadily, "In two days. I will apply to be transferred back as soon as possible."
"Good, then marry me when you come back?" Si Rong did not want to wait any longer; waiting for Jiang Cheng to pursue her was truly too difficult.
The bike wobbled, but Jiang Cheng managed to steady it with effort; at this moment, Si Rong's arms wrapped around his waist.
They rested softly against his lower abdomen.
Jiang Cheng felt the blood in his entire body boil instantly, as if every drop had gained a mind of its own and was surging toward one spot in unison.
"Rongrong," he propped one foot on the side of the bicycle, then looked down at her snow-white hands wrapped around his waist.
"You're holding me so tight, I can't catch my breath."
Moreover, he couldn't spread his legs too far apart.
Fortunately, he was wearing loose trousers today.
Si Rong released her hands in surprise, then got off the seat, "Then, let's walk!"
She didn't want to get home so quickly.
Jiang Cheng pushed the bicycle on the right, and Si Rong walked on his left.
"Jiang Cheng, do you believe in past and present lives?"
In her past life, Jiang Cheng appeared in her life too late; in this life, she would manually pull Jiang Cheng into her life ahead of time.
Past and present lives?
Jiang Cheng frowned, not quite understanding why she suddenly brought up this topic.
"Perhaps," he replied.
But whether they exist or not isn't actually very important, because for people, the past life doesn't hold much significance; the present life is what matters most.
"They really do," Si Rong walked backward, which allowed her to see Jiang Cheng's face perfectly.
This Rebirth was worth it; Jiang Cheng, twenty years younger, was so, so handsome.
"Actually, in our past life, we were husband and wife," Si Rong saw his lips tighten into a straight line, "That's why I took the initiative to find you in this life."
Jiang Cheng smiled, feeling that Si Rong was teasing him.
Could it be that this playful version of her was the real her?
"Really, don't laugh," Si Rong saw his disbelief and wanted to convince him even more, "It's just that some people remember their past lives, while others don't."
Suddenly, her heel kicked a small stone, and her body lost its balance.
"Ah—"
Just as Si Rong thought she would fall, the bicycle clattered to the ground.
And she fell into Jiang Cheng's arms.
Just like in her past life, his embrace was broad and warm, his muscles hard, giving one a great sense of security.
Si Rong wrapped her arms around Jiang Cheng's neck, "Jiang Cheng, thank you for saving me."
"If I had tripped over that stone just now, I might have hit my head and died on the spot, but you saved me, so this counts as you saving my life."
"For Company Commander Jiang's life-saving grace, this young woman has no way to repay you, so I can only offer myself in marriage."
Si Rong looked at his trembling eyelashes and slowly moved closer to him.
His pink cherry lips magnified in her vision; Jiang Cheng's Adam's apple rolled rapidly, and just then, an exasperated shout came from behind them.
"What are you two doing?"
Shen Lan felt as if he had been cheated on.
On the side of the road, these two were actually hugging and kissing; if they were in a secluded place, who knows what they would be doing!
He hadn't even touched Si Rong yet!
Seeing him, Si Rong narrowed her apricot eyes slightly, then straightened her clothes and stood up.
"Yelling and screaming, do you think the road is your home?"
Shen Lan:...
"You still know this is a road?" He was speechless, "Cuddling and hugging another man, what kind of decorum is that!"
"Another man? You're referring to yourself, right? You still know about decorum!" Si Rong only regretted that she had to maintain her image because Jiang Cheng was here, and she couldn't curse him out according to the personality she had in her old age in her past life, "So decorum means having children with someone and then hiding them in a Fuliyuan? It's truly laughable."
She took Jiang Cheng's arm, "As for me, I have already canceled the wedding with you and found a new boyfriend. We will be married soon, so don't appear in front of us again. It's bad luck!"
"What?" Shen Lan was incredulous, "You're going to marry him?"
No! Absolutely not!
"Is it because of those two children?" Shen Lan had already discussed it with Li Xuan again; they would stabilize Si Rong first, as those two children could not be brought to Si Rong to be raised in the short term.
"It was all because I drank too much that day that I mistook Li Xuan for you. I don't love her, and naturally, I don't love the children she bore. After we marry, we will have our own children; I will absolutely not let those two children affect the feelings between us!"
Slap—
"Whether you drank too much or not, you know that in your heart," Si Rong said, taking out a tissue to carefully wipe the palm she had used to slap Shen Lan's face. "That is your business; it has nothing to do with me. I will not forgive you. Please roll out of my world—do you not understand human language?"
How could Shen Lan leave so easily? Just as he wanted to step forward and grab Si Rong's arm to talk to her properly, he was kicked to the ground by Jiang Cheng the next second.
"Get lost!"
"Jiang Cheng! I'm warning you! Don't think about taking advantage of the situation!"
Shen Lan realized that this matter had to be handled through Jiang Cheng. "Si Rong only sought you out because she was heartbroken for a moment!"
"The person she truly loves in her heart is me. She was too heartbroken after leaving our wedding, which is why she found you. You are nothing but my substitute! Even if you are married, you are not in her heart! She just wants to use you to make me angry! You are nothing but a joke!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes were slightly stunned.
Li Xuan finally walked out from the shadows. She didn't quite dare to look into Si Rong's eyes, only looking aggrieved. "Si Rong, the matter with the children is all my fault. I truly cannot bear to watch you and Shen Lan, a pair of lovers, be separated because of me and the children. How about this: after you and Shen Lan reconcile, I will take the two children and leave Huaiyang. I will never disturb your lives again, how about that?"
Her job—Si Rong actually hadn't helped her get it sorted out yet; without a stable salary in the future, she wouldn't be able to live.
Therefore, rather than hiding in the shadows forever, it would be better to let Si Rong vent all the emotions she needed to vent.
As long as Shen Lan could be guaranteed a meteoric rise, only then could she and her children enjoy a good life in the future.
