CHAPTER 37: CHAPTER 37: EMBRACED TOGETHER

"You once told me that Cheng Li wasn’t a good person. I always thought you were trying to create a rift between us, but now I realize who truly cares about me. Qian Cheng, I’m sorry for making you sad in the past."

Mu Qiancheng was stunned, hardly able to believe his ears. What did Jiang Xue just say? She understood that he was looking out for her and realized that Cheng Li wasn’t a good person?

If that were the case, it would be wonderful. As long as Jiang Xue knew that Cheng Li wasn’t good, she wouldn’t listen to her anymore, and perhaps they could live a good life together in the future.

However, this happiness came too suddenly, making Mu Qiancheng a bit incredulous. So, he looked at Jiang Xue, confirming once more, and asked, "Xue’er, is it true? You know that Cheng Li isn’t a good person?"

"I know!" Jiang Xue nodded. She had died once; if she still didn’t know Cheng Li wasn’t a good person, she couldn’t live this life again. If she was reborn and remained as foolish as before, then what reason did she have to live?

"That’s, that’s good then!" Mu Qiancheng was truly happy, realizing Jiang Xue knew that Cheng Li wasn’t a good person. From now on, when he wasn’t home, he wouldn’t have to worry about Jiang Xue being beguiled by Cheng Li and used by her again.

This was better than anything for him. After all, he didn’t spend much time at home, and with Jiang Xue having just given birth, she couldn’t immediately follow him, so she’d definitely need to stay at home for a while longer.

And his leave was limited; he couldn’t constantly accompany Jiang Xue. At most, he’d have to leave after another three days.

If there was anyone he’d be most worried about leaving, it would naturally be his wife and child. Now that Jiang Xue realized Cheng Li wasn’t a good person, he felt at ease, at least halfway.

"Qian Cheng, I’m sorry I let you down before. I won’t in the future. I’ll take good care of you, our child, and our family, and be respectful to our parents. Don’t worry."

"Good, good, I believe you!" Mu Qiancheng couldn’t be happier and impulsively got up, embracing Jiang Xue in his arms.

Jiang Xue was a bit stunned being hugged by Mu Qiancheng, and when she came back to her senses, her face blushed. However, she didn’t push Mu Qiancheng away but reached out her hand to wrap around his waist, leaning her head against his chest, a slight smile appearing on her face.

While the two were embracing, Bai Yuhua hurriedly returned and was also stunned upon seeing the pair hugging in the room.

Once she regained her composure, her face turned awkward, and she quickly exited the room, saying, "Continue, I didn’t see anything."

Bai Yuhua’s words startled Jiang Xue, who hadn’t even noticed her entrance, since her head was nestled in Mu Qiancheng’s chest. The moment she spoke, Jiang Xue, like a startled rabbit, quickly released her arms from around Mu Qiancheng’s waist and pulled her head away from his embrace.

With his back unburdened and arms empty, Mu Qiancheng couldn’t help feeling a sense of loss, somewhat blaming his mother for returning at that moment.

If it weren’t for his mother’s return, he might have been able to hold Jiang Xue a while longer.

Once Bai Yuhua left the room, she couldn’t suppress the smile on her face when thinking of the scene of her son and daughter-in-law embracing.

Thinking again about the reason she had hurried back, Bai Yuhua’s expression darkened.

Originally, she had been working in the field when Cheng Li told her that Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue were arguing, prompting her return.
