Chapter 458 A Kiss Will Make You Feel Better

Jiang Zhizhi held onto Jiang Zhenhua's arm and said, "Dad, don't be sad. No matter what, Luojia is doing well now. If she really is your and Mom's child, then treat her well and give her more love."

Jiang Zhenhua wiped away his tears: "Yes, Zhizhi. I've been searching for so long and have seen many similar people, but none of them have made me feel this bad."

Jiang Zhizhi comforted him, "Dad, think about the future, we have plenty of time. And when do you plan to tell Mom about this?"

Jiang Zhenhua calmed himself down and said, "Let's wait for the results. If something goes wrong, your mother will be happy for nothing."

Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Okay, that's what I meant too. You said my mother isn't feeling well, so I'll go back with you to see her now."

Jiang Zhenhua looked at Li Simin and Shen Luojia, who were already preparing to cross the road: "What about them?"

Jiang Zhizhi glanced at them and said, "They can go back on their own. With Brother Simin there, Luojia is safe."

The two quickly went over and told Li Simin.

Li Simin led Shen Luojia away. Jiang Zhenhua watched as Shen Luojia walked happily beside Li Simin, their arms occasionally touching, exuding an indescribable intimacy.

Moreover, he could also tell that Shen Luojia relied heavily on Li Simin. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Jiang Zhizhi, "Simin and Luojia, they..."

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, Brother Simin takes good care of Luo Jia."

Jiang Zhenhua wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and went home with Jiang Zhizhi.

...

Shen Luojia didn't eat enough at noon because Jiang Zhenhua's gaze made her afraid to eat properly.

Following Li Simin, he ate pea flour cake, tripe, and two door nail sesame cakes before he felt full.

She held the bottle of soda contentedly, drinking it as she walked home with Li Simin, forgetting that she still wanted to eat red bean popsicles.

When I was almost finished with my soda, I suddenly remembered, "I'll buy some for Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang too, they like it too."

Li Simin naturally had no objection and bought two more bottles of soda and two packs of honey-glazed pastries that Xiao Zhouji and the others liked.

Shen Luojia's eyes lit up when she saw the honey-coated sandao (a type of fried dough), which looked incredibly tempting: "I want to eat some too."

Li Simin smiled, opened the paper bag, and let Shen Luojia make one herself.

However, with a soda in one hand and a biscuit in the other, Shen Luojia didn't have a spare hand to hold the honey-flavored skewer.

Without any hesitation, she took a step closer and opened her mouth to let Li Simin feed her.

Li Simin had gotten used to her carefree attitude. He picked up a honey-glazed pastry and stuffed it into her mouth. Shen Luojia was immediately satisfied and smiled happily with her eyes crinkling.

Chen Limin, who was coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, happened to see this scene.

She hated Shen Luojia so much that her teeth itched, and she got beaten up for no reason.

Later, I heard that Shen Luojia was an idiot, and this idiot was actually going to marry Li Simin!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Even if Song Man was remarrying, she was still better than a fool. She wondered what Shang Shiying and Li Simin were thinking.

It's as if they're deliberately trying to disgust her; they'd rather marry a fool than Song Man.

Chen Limin felt increasingly resentful and walked over: "Simin, out shopping? Isn't this the girl from the Shen family? She's still staying at your house."

Li Simin could tell that Chen Limin was deliberately picking a fight, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

When Shen Luojia saw Chen Limin, she instantly remembered that this was the person she had hit. The sweetness in her mouth suddenly turned sour, and she clenched her fists, ready to strike.

Chen Limin glanced at Shen Luojia with disdain: "Simin, you have such a bright future ahead of you, how come you ended up marrying a fool? Do you think this fool and you can even have anything in common?"

"Can I take care of your daily life? Can I accompany you to various events? It won't just be you who will be embarrassed, your whole family will be embarrassed."

"Besides, who knows if her stupidity is innate or acquired? If it's hereditary, it would be such a pity for someone as intelligent as you to have a child with a mental disability."

Li Simin frowned and said sternly, "Auntie! Watch your words! What kind of wife I choose is my own business and has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Besides, I didn't marry a wife to hire a free nanny. As for attending events, Auntie doesn't need to worry about her at all. With me around, who would dare to laugh at her?"

"There's another point: you only see her silly side, but you don't know that she has many more good qualities. She is a hundred times purer in heart than those who claim to be shrewd."

Chen Limin choked for a moment, staring at Li Simin with wide eyes. She never knew that Li Simin could be so eloquent.

They're protecting her so fiercely!

Somewhat unwilling, she said, "Have you forgotten that you used to like Song Man, and were even willing to risk your life for her? You really don't like her at all now?"

Li Simin frowned and looked coldly at Chen Limin: "Auntie, you said it yourself, it was back then! And you were strongly opposed back then, so I guess I did what you wanted. From now on, Song Man and I will have our own lives, so there's no point in bringing up the past."

Chen Limin exclaimed, glaring at Shen Luojia: "Fine, fine, let's see how you manage to live with this idiot."

After saying that, she didn't give Li Simin a chance to speak and turned to leave angrily.

Even Li Simin, who is usually mild-mannered, was angered by Chen Limin and sighed as he looked at Chen Luojia.

Shen Luojia was frowning, looking very unhappy.

He reached out and ruffled her hair, his voice gentle: "Were you scared? It's okay, do you still want some honey-glazed pastries?"

Shen Luojia shook her head. She didn't want to eat anything; she just felt incredibly sad.

She didn't know why she felt so bad. She could understand some of what Chen Limin had said earlier, which was that Chen Limin kept calling her an idiot.

They even said she was a disgrace, and that she made Li Simin lose face.

She understood what he meant, because Shen Qingping had said she was shameful, and Liu Li and Shen Yuzhi had also said she was shameful.

Her understanding was that being with her would make others laugh at her.

Li Simin noticed her low spirits and, recalling Chen Limin's words earlier, guessed what was causing Shen Lu Luojia's distress. He then ruffled her hair and asked, "Shall we go boating?"

Shen Luojia shook her head, still feeling sad. She didn't want to go out and play; she just wanted to go home and crawl into bed.

Li Simin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go home first and take the bus home."

Shen Luojia nodded and followed Li Simin to take the bus.

On the way back, Shen Luojia remained quiet and did not drink the remaining half bottle of soda.

Only after entering the compound did Li Simin gently and patiently ask, "Are you feeling very upset?"

Shen Luojia didn't try to hide her feelings and nodded honestly, "It hurts."

Li Simin thought for a moment and said, "Then... how can you cheer up? How about I take you to play with Xiao Zhouji?"

Shen Luojia pouted: "I'm not a child anymore, I can't play all the time."

Li Simin's eyes crinkled with amusement: "Well, Luo Jia is a young lady, so how can we make her happy?"

Shen Luojia stared blankly into Li Simin's eyes for a long while, then touched her forehead: "Kiss, it won't hurt here anymore, right..."

In the past, when she was bullied, her grandma would kiss her here and tell her that she was the best and most obedient child.

Thinking of her grandmother, her eyes welled up with tears, and she felt like crying...
