Chapter 20
The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (20)
Jiang Zhe quietly looked at Li Cai Wei, "Want to know?"
Li Cai Wei: "If its about you, I want to know everything."
Jiang Zhe sighed and pulled her to his side, the lights was dim as he leaned closer to the woman's ear.
Li Cai Wei subconsciously shrunk her neck, evoking the sound of a mans light chuckle.
Jiang Zhe lovingly rubbed her earlobe, but his tone had a rare seriousness.
Li Wei Cais pupils shrank, stunned for a long time, before suddenly turning her head, sighing: Jiang Zhe, your guts are too big.
Jiang Zhe returned her gaze, Is it?
Li Cai Wei looked serious, solemnly nodding. "You are the only one I have seen so far, who has the biggest guts."
Jiang Zhe: "Afraid?"
Li Cai Wei nodded.
Disappointment flashed through Jiang Zhes eyes, but he soon recovered to normal, I still have some money to arrange a good future for youyou
His lips were blocked, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck. The alcohol rushed to his head, ill-timed, almost making Jiang Zhe unclear whether he was hallucinating, or whether it was reality.
He touched the woman's face, but only felt wetness beneath his hand, "Cai Wei?"
Li Cai Wei: "So thats what you think of me, that Im afraid of death and not willing to stay by your side?
Jiang Zhe: "Cai Wei, I"
Li Cai Wei: "Jiang Zhe, I am a woman. I have been sheltered for the past 20 years. How could I not be afraid?"
Jiang Zhe hugged her. "I'm sorry, Im sorry. I thought wrongly, its my bad."
Li Cai Weis eyes were blurred by her tears, making Jiang Zhe feel even more regretful. He held the sides of her face, and lowered his forehead to hers, whispering softly: "I was wrong, I shouldnt have thought that way. Can you forgive me?"
Li Cai Wei did not respond.
Jiang Zhe said helplessly: "In the future we will be in the same boat, standing together to face any difficulty. I will not let you go again."
Li Cai Wei: "Really?"
Jiang Zhe smiled and nodded: "I swear."
Li Cai Wei pursed her lips and laughed. Just that, her tears were still there, flowing along her smiling expression, it added a few laugh lines, making it seem true.
Jiang Zhe held her, kissed her forehead, cheeks, and then slowly moved to her lips, unexpectedly soft.
He tentatively tried to open the gap, and easily attack her mouth.
The bed creaked gently, unable to hide the spring glow in the room.
The next day, Jiang Zhe got up early. Shui Gen was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast, and was surprised to see Jiang Zhe.
Shui Gen: "Eldest, Big Brother, what are you doing here? If youre hungry, breakfast will be done in a short while."
Jiang Zhe said simply: "I will do it."
Shui Gen almost bit his tongue, "Wha, what?"
With the addition of Jiang Zhe and others, their casualties plummeted, not to mention that Jiang Zhe occasionally gave them some so-called "enlightenment" in their weaponry.
Without so much painful bloodshed sacrifices, this initial small force, broke through the ground and grew all the way, establishing a new country ahead of the original plot, ending this troubled era.
Coincidentally, that year, Li Cai Wei was finally pregnant.
Jiang Zhe seemingly had some kind of intuition. After discussing with his wife, no matter if it was a girl or boy, they would name him Jian Guo, Jiang Jian Guo*.
Jiang Zhe lived happily ever after, and even after Li Cai Wei passed away, he was filled with gratitude. He personally sent off his most beloved person, suffered from grief alone, before he finally closed his eyes and fell into his final rest.
The system gave him sufficient time to for him to adjust his emotions.
After an undeterminable amount of time, Jiang Zhe woke up in a sea of white.
Jiang Zhe: "How am I here?"
System: "This is for you to adjust your emotions. Now that youre awake, let's go to the next world."
Jiang Zhe: "Wait."
System: "What?"
Jiang Zhe: "How is she?"
The systems tone was slightly proud, "Much better, so you better work harder. Lets go.
Jiang Zhe: "En."
The next second, the two disappeared from their spot.
"Quick, quickly, don't let Jiang Zhe run."
The sky was already dark, surrounded by weeds, tall trees and branches intertwined to form distorted shadows.
A group of tall men with torches kept searching on the mountain road.
Suddenly, a clear voice in the crowd shouted: "I found Jiang Zhe, quickly come."
Everyone rushed over. The torch dispelled the darkness, and under the orange glow, a thin young man laid on the ground, it was unknown if he was alive or dead.
The leading man kicked him, "Hey, Jiang Zhe, dont you fucking pretend to die."
Someone nearby echoed: "Yeah, Jiang Zhe, don't think that you can escape punishment by fainting."
After a while, when the person on the ground still didnt react, the crowd finally felt there was something wrong. Someone immediately squatted down to carefully pull open Jiang Zhes collar.
"Ah, blood, theres blood."
The leading man's pupils shrank and he squatted down to carefully look at it. The crowd found out then that Jiang Zhe's forehead was full of blood.
Just because he was lying down, they didn't see it.
The leading man picked up Jiang Zhe and ran to the village, the others following closely.
Although Jiang Zhes was terrible for escaping selfishly, now that it was a matter of life and death, it was better to treat him first, then talk.
*Jian Guo Meaning to establish a country or build up a country
TN: End of the first arc. Second arc may start late next week due to CNY break! Need to entertain my relatives, so I'm not sure if I have the time to translate it. At least there's closure for this arc ?
