Chapter 399: Mingyue's Thoughts 2

Mu Cheng hadn't expected that Jiang Mingyue, who usually seemed cheerful, actually carried such a heavy burden in her heart. She immediately comforted her, "Sister-in-law, you're overthinking it. Big Brother's feelings for you are real. Even if we have nothing in the future, he will still love you and protect you, because you are his lover, his wife, and the mother of his child."

Jiang Mingyue smiled and shook her head. "That's not the case. Cheng'er, you and Xiaonuo are already engaged, and you both have repeatedly stated that nothing can separate you. If that's the case, why doesn't Xiaonuo let you stay home and support you? And why don't you take the initiative to stay home and let your man protect you?"

"I..." Mu Cheng pursed her lips. What should she say?

Tell Jiang Mingyue that she wants to fight alongside him instead of being a burden to him?

If she said this, Jiang Mingyue would just think she was too fake. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone. Would Jiang Mingyue be willing to do that?

"Because Xiao Nuo needs a woman who can fight alongside him at any time, not a woman who will just hide behind him and wait for him to protect and take care of her. And you don't want to be a burden to anyone, you want to fight alongside him."

Jiang Mingyue paused after finishing her words, then continued, "Cheng'er, I can't be like you, and I may not be able to fight alongside my husband, but I can take care of myself and our child, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything."

Mu Cheng shook her head and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, you're wrong. I work so hard because I don't want to be a burden to anyone else. I want to fight alongside him."

"But what he needs is a woman who loves him, understands him, and supports him at all times. The reason he supports me and even helps me time and time again is not because he hopes that I can fight alongside him one day, but because he doesn't want me to lose myself and doesn't want me to change for him."

Mu Cheng put down the iron net in his hand, took Jiang Mingyue's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, changing yourself for a man and living a life that is not like yourself is the most painful and difficult thing."

"Cheng'er, I understand, but I still have to change myself, no matter how hard it is, no matter how painful it is. I do this not only for him, but also for myself, and even more so for my baby."

Jiang Mingyue grabbed Mu Cheng's hand and pleaded, "Cheng'er, please help me. I've told my parents about my idea. They support me very much, so they agreed to let me go out with you. They're also afraid that one day when they're old, I won't even have anyone to rely on."

"My dad said that if you want someone to treat you well forever, you must first have the capital to make them treat you well. I have nothing now, let alone the capital for my husband to treat me well all the time. I want to work hard to change myself and become the pride of my parents and my husband."

The current Jiang Mingyue reminds Mu Cheng of her past self. In fact, if she had been willing to change herself in her previous life and not be a burden to others, but was as outstanding as she is now, she believes that even if Cheng Jiang was acting with her, he would have acted for the rest of his life and deceived her for the rest of his life, instead of tying her up outside the city wall when the zombie tide came.

This is true for couples who have no feelings for each other, and it is also true for couples who have feelings for each other.

Feelings will become dull and turn into family affection after time. If a woman makes a man too tired and the novelty wears off, no matter how good the relationship is, it will eventually become a burden and people will get tired of it after a while.

She didn't want to get bored with Tang Nuo for too long, and Jiang Mingyue didn't want to either. She really shouldn't have denied Jiang Mingyue the opportunity to learn just because she was worried about taking responsibility.

After figuring it out, Mu Cheng withdrew his hand, took out a pair of gloves and handed them to Jiang Mingyue, then picked up the wire and carefully taught her.
