Chapter 4

The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (4)

The solemn traditional room was matched with crystal lamps, phonographs and other western decorations, giving it a disharmonious atmosphere.

After Li Cai Wei gave Cui Xi the signal to retire from the room, she carried a bowl of plain porridge and stepped in with a pair of embroidered cloth shoes.

Jiang Zhe was lying on the bed. His eyelids didnt even twitch when he heard the footsteps; he was just too tired.

Li Cai Wei tentatively called out twice, "Jiang Zhe? Jiang Zhe?"

No response.

In the empty room, only a gentle and soft female voice reverberated.

Li Cai Wei gave up calling him. Jiang Zhe thought that she would leave, so he could finally relax and rest.

Suddenly, the bed beside him sank down. Thanks to his many years of training, Jiang Zhe was a master of acting and did not give anything away.

Therefore, Li Cai Wei only heard the man's light snoring, which was inexplicably a little cute.

She wiped the mans face with a handkerchief, her eyes roaming across the familiar, yet unfamiliar face.

Jiang Zhe unconsciously became nervous.

Briefly, he felt dampness on his lips, and a mouthful of soft porridge was pushed into his mouth.

Again and again, the sweet light porridge slid down his throat and into his stomach, filling his empty stomach.

Jiang Zhe could no longer tell whether it was the porridge, or the soft gentle lips that was sweet.

In his mind, he could even clearly depict the graceful curvature of that soft lips.

There wasnt much in a bowl of porridge. In merely a few minutes, Li Cai Wei was done feeding him.

She carefully got out of bed, and when she was going to leave, she accidentally saw the man's hand firmly clenched by his side.

Instantly, it felt like freezing water poured over her head, cold to the bone. Her body trembled, and she saw black spots before her eyes.

Did he hate her that much?

That he needed to be so patient, so restrained.

Her sight gradually blurred, and without her knowing, tears were already flowing from her eyes.

Jiang Zhe: "Yes."

Father Jiang looked at him confused, Does your mother know about this?

Jiang Zhe: This son will coax Mother.

The father and son duo were conflicted for a while, but Father Jiang eventually gave in, Okay. Youre all grown up now and can make your own decisions.

A small smile bloomed on Jiang Zhes face, "Thank you Father."

Father Jiang: "Oh, Dad is Dad, what Father? You scholars like to blindly follow the books. Calling me Father, how distant.

Jiang Yan pursed his lips, Dad.

Father Jiang was satisfied, "En."

The two men got on the car. Father Jiang opened his mouth again, "Zheer, Dad isnt deliberately picking at your sore spots. Dad knows that you scholars have very high esteem, and look down on businessmen like Dad."

Jiang Zhe lowered his eyebrows.

Father Jiang: "But this is life, not something you can get through by knowing words or creating poems. The daily food you eat and clothes you wear, which one doesnt need money, am I right?"

Jiang Zhes gaze sharpened, "Dad is right."

Father Jiang patted his shoulder with relief, "Its good that you understand. You are my son, I wont hurt you. When youre out of the comforts of home, its nothing to be defeated sometimes. After you recover from the setbacks, you are still the Master of the house, do you understand Dad?"

Father Jiang said it in a roundabout way, but Jiang Zhe understood. Father Jiang was worried that when he conducts his business in the future, he would be unable to put down his status, and thus used this opportunity to explain it to him.

If it was the original soul, he would probably argue vehemently about it. Jiang Zhe, on the other hand, understood the meaning in Father Jiangs advice.

He didnt dare to put it too seriously, in case he triggered his sons rebellious heart. However, he didnt dare put it too lightly, in case his son suffers losses in the hands of others.

It was a perfect example of the pitiful, misunderstood hearts of all parents around the world.

Jiang Zhe face was solemn, but his eyes continued to look forward, "Thank you for your teachings, this son will remember it in his heart."

Father Jiang was happy, and his eyes were full of smiles. He took Jiang Zhes hand and patted it, You are undoubtedly Dads good son.

TN: I couldnt resist doing this chapter, largely because the first 3 chapters seem to be more on setting the stage for the story. This chapter gives us more information on Jiang Zhes internal conflict and his relationship with Li Cai Wei (as well as a bit more action) and that makes me happy.

Last chapter for the week! Probably.
