Chapter 306: I will be good to you

~7 min read 1,231 words

Song Jingyu understood Su Ruo's finances, so he let Su Ruo accompany her to always live on the island, and he felt guilty.

But to Song Jingyu, Su Ruo was truly too important and wonderful, so wonderful that he basically did not want to give her up, even though he knew doing so was selfish.

Song Jingyu swore in his heart that he would definitely work harder in the future, striving to give Su Ruo a better life, and would absolutely not let her suffer alongside him.

Bai Xinya and the others all looked at Song Jingyu; actually he had overthought it, because besides Bai Xinya, everyone present had come from hard times, so none of them felt that Su Ruo's situation was suffering.

Moreover, Su Ruo had money in her hands; as long as she had money, she would not suffer anywhere.

But Song Jingyu's words still earned him a wave of goodwill in several people's hearts.

After all, many times women are not afraid to endure hardship with a man; they fear wandering aimlessly with a man, and the man not being grateful, taking everything for granted.

They could see that Song Jingyu was not just a pond creature; at his current age, he could already sit in the position of Regimental Commander.

His future prospects will certainly be limitless; he will not be forever trapped on this island.

Li Zhaodi said with a smile: "We naturally believe Regimental Commander Song's promise; we only hope that one day Regimental Commander Song will achieve something, and not forget today's promise."

In this world there are many Phoenix Men; they hope Song Jingyu is not one of them.

Song Jingyu's deep eyes brightened a bit, because Li Zhaodi saying that proved she had already won him over, the hardest step, and finally crossed it.

Song Jingyu made a more firm promise: "Rest assured, I will definitely be good to Su Ruo for the rest of my life."

Li Zhaodi looked at Song Jingyu; if they could be a couple for life, that would truly be enviable; she has had bad luck in relationships her whole life and cannot find happiness, but she truly hopes Su Ruo can be happy, like her master who is so good, also deserves happiness.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, but Bai Xinya was the first to break it: "Wasn't the plan to go see the sea? Let's go quickly!"

An'an was the first to nod; Qin Xiao naturally had no objection, as it was only a ten-odd minute walk from here to the seaside; after they made the decision, they took their seaside-gathering tools and set off in a mighty crowd.

Today's weather was especially good, with clear skies for miles, golden sunlight sprinkling on the sea surface, everything looking that beautiful.

Song Jingyu set foot on this land, looking at Li Zhaodi and An'an, seeing their excitement and joy at the sea.

This might be the meaning of their guarding here: to defend the nation's peace and territorial integrity, so that those covetous people would never dare to set foot on this land again.

An'an and Li Zhaodi were picking up seashells on the beach; even Su Ruo and Bai Xinya joined in, and the few people together chatted and laughed, very happy.

They had not been together for a long time, and this was a relaxed, happy outing.

At this moment, Qin Xiao, who had been following An'an step by step, walked up to Song Jingyu and, like a little adult, watched together with him the few women laughing and playing not far away.

"Do you want to marry Su Ruo?"

Song Jingyu looked at Qin Xiao, and did not feel offended by his address, nor did he treat him as a mere child because of his young age.

He solemnly said to Qin Xiao: "Yes, I want to marry her, and I swear I will take care of her, protect her, and always be good to her."

"Then will you have your own children in the future?" At that moment, Qin Xiao asked a question that none of Su Ruo and the others had ever considered.

Song Jingyu's facial expression clearly froze for a moment, because during this time his thoughts had been only about how to marry Su Ruo and get her to agree to marry him; as for what happens after marriage and having children, he really hadn't thought about it.

Qin Xiao continued: "If you have your own children in the future, she will be heartbroken."

Qin Xiao glanced toward An'an's direction; no one knows better than him how heavily An'an regards Su Ruo, even though she is desperately suppressing and controlling herself, but Qin Xiao knows Su Ruo has already become An'an's obsession.

Even everything An'an is currently doing is because of Su Ruo, in order to become a daughter who makes Su Ruo proud, to fulfill Su Ruo's offhand remark hoping for national prosperity and peace; she therefore resolutely chose the most difficult subject and field.

Even though she clearly knows that doing this might imprison her freedom, preventing her from seeing her beloved mother for a long time.

But she still resolutely chose it, because this is her mother's wish; as long as Su Ruo wants it, she will unhesitatingly help her achieve it.

Qin Xiao knows that An'an regards Su Ruo as more important than her own life.

Therefore, Qin Xiao cannot even imagine what would happen if one day Su Ruo had her own child, diverting Su Ruo's love away from her, and how An'an would react.

This is also the reason he feels hostile toward Qin Xiao after meeting him; he will not allow anyone to harm An'an.

At this moment, Song Jingyu had already recovered from his initial surprise; he glanced at Su Ruo and the others playing in the distance, and involuntarily thought back to that time at night in a ruin, when Su Ruo desperately helped An'an search for a token to recognize kin.

That was the first time he had been so close to Su Ruo, and it was also because An'an brought their relationship a step closer.

"An'an loves Su Ruo very much, but you should also believe that Su Ruo loves An'an very much; An'an's position in Su Ruo's heart cannot be shaken by anyone, not even me."

"My work is very dangerous; Su Ruo having you all is enough; whether or not we have children in the future, I will respect her choice and not force it."

Qin Xiao knows that what Song Jingyu says is all true; this man fundamentally does not bother to lie.

After Qin Xiao got the answer he wanted, his guard against Song Jingyu lessened a bit, but before leaving he still turned back and said to Song Jingyu:

"Since you have decided to marry Su Ruo, it would be best to treat her well for life as you said; otherwise she will kill you."

The "she" Qin Xiao referred to is precisely An'an, this seemingly harmless little girl who actually possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth.

This power is such that even if Song Jingyu is a Soldier King, he cannot escape it.

She can, because of Su Ruo, create this power to guard this land; one day, she can also, because of Su Ruo, destroy it.
