Chapter 194: What covenant is more important than their covenant of reunion?
The next morning.
They then went to the Sang family's ancestral hall to pay their respects.
When she was a child, Sang Qian would go back to her hometown every year to celebrate the Chinese New Year with her grandparents and second uncle.
Previously, her grandparents would bring her to pay respects, but later her second uncle would bring her, and her grandparents' memorial tablets would be placed on top.
She hadn't returned home in the two years since marrying Jin Changyu. This year, she brought Jin Changyu with her to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the two elders.
After Sang Jingshan finished offering incense first, he asked Sang Qian and Jin Changyu to offer incense as well. Then he asked Chen Ma to bring firecrackers, and the two of them went outside the main room to set them off.
They said they should put it a little further away so that the smell of the firecrackers wouldn't bother Sang Qian.
Only Jin Changyu and Sang Qian remained in the ancestral hall.
After Sang Qian finished offering incense and paying respects before the memorial tablets, she turned around and saw Jin Changyu standing in front of her grandparents' memorial tablets, holding incense and offering prayers devoutly.
?
Seeing how respectfully and straight he stood, Sang Qian suddenly remembered that during the Ghost Festival, he had also offered incense so earnestly at his grandparents' graves.
After he finished offering incense, she asked him, "What did you ask your grandparents for this time? Why did you mutter to yourself for so long?"
After offering incense, Jin Changyu clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to the memorial tablet.
Then he turned to Sang Qian and said, "I didn't ask for anything, I'm just fulfilling a vow."
"Fulfilling a vow?"
Sang Qian paused for a moment, then looked at him in surprise, "Your wish from the Ghost Festival came true?"
"Um."
Jin Changyu looked at her gently, "Thank you for your permission and protection, Grandpa and Grandma. My wish has come true."
"Grandpa and Grandma, you're so biased!" Sang Qian pouted as she protested against the memorial tablets of her grandparents.
"I haven't had many wishes granted in front of you in previous years, so how come his wish came true on his first try?"
After saying that, she turned to Jin Changyu curiously and asked, "What did you ask your grandparents for?"
It shouldn't be too difficult, otherwise how could it have been so easy to achieve?
“I asked my grandparents for a precious item at their grave.”
treasure?
He's so rich, he could buy any treasure, why would he need to go to a grave to beg...
When she met the man's affectionate eyes, Sang Qian's heart skipped a beat.
"The treasure you're talking about, could it be... me?"
"Yes, it's you."
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian's breath hitched, and her eyes trembled slightly as she looked at him.
“I told my grandparents that I regretted the divorce and begged them to give me another chance. I promised them that if I am lucky enough to have you again, I will cherish you.”
Jin Changyu glanced gratefully at the memorial tablets of the two elders before looking down at her. "Grandpa and Grandma probably saw my sincerity, so they sent you back to my side."
"They not only gave me the treasure I wanted, but also gave me an extra treasure."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and stroked her pregnant belly with a look of happiness and satisfaction on his face.
"It gave me two treasures all at once."
Seeing that he had just finished speaking and was about to lean down to kiss him, Sang Qian quickly covered his mouth, glanced nervously at the memorial tablet, and whispered,
"This is an ancestral hall, so watch your behavior."
As she finished speaking, a burst of firecrackers suddenly came from outside, and Jin Changyu quickly raised his hand to cover her ears.
He only removed his hand after the firecrackers had finished.
A moment later, Chen Ma came in and said, "Miss, there were just firecrackers set off at the main gate, and there's a lot of smoke. You and your husband can go back through the side gate."
"Okay, Aunt Chen."
Sang Qian pulled Jin Changyu away through the small door.
After leaving the ancestral hall, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jin Changyu.
Jin Changyu noticed her strange expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I never imagined that you wanted to reconcile back then."
Jin Changyu chuckled, "You're pretty stupid. I've chased you all the way to your hometown, and you still don't understand my intentions."
"Who knew, I thought you..."
Seeing her abruptly stop speaking, Jin Changyu asked, "What did you think I was?"
"I... I thought you liked Zhou Yunshuang back then, and you agreed to the divorce without hesitation. Who would have thought you would regret it before your cooling-off period was over?"
Jin Changyu's eyes widened. "I went out early this morning to avoid talking to you about the divorce, and I tried to win you over with projects. You call that agreeing readily?"
At the time, he thought she wanted to benefit the Sang family, and he even planned to personally fund the Sang family's projects in the southern peninsula.
She couldn't see any sign of his attempt to keep her.
Sang Qian shook her head and tried to cover it up, "I don't know, I don't know anything."
Jin Changyu was amused by her expression and reached out to pinch her cheek, saying, "You blockhead."
"Who's got a blockhead?"
Sang Qian retorted, "It's clearly you who always has a blank expression and rarely says a word, like a silent gourd with its mouth sawed off. Who knows what you're thinking?"
Jin Changyu held her hand and said, "I was wrong before. I will correct my mistakes and never be a silent person again."
Seeing that his attitude in admitting his mistake was quite sincere, Sang Qian raised her chin and said, "That's more like it."
The two talked as they walked toward home.
They stayed in their hometown for a few days, and the doctor came to their home every day to examine Jin Changyu.
The doctor said his condition was recovering well, and with the doctor's consent, Jin Changyu discussed with Sang Qian about wanting to return to the city on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Sang Qian felt that it didn't matter if it was a day earlier or later, so she went along with his wishes.
Sang Jingshan didn't go with them because his foot injury hadn't healed and he needed to rest at home.
They agreed that he would go when the due date arrived.
And so, the two returned to the city on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
When they returned, it was a little after 1 p.m. Sang Qian was worried and insisted that Jin Changyu go to the hospital for a full check-up first.
She was relieved when the examination report came out and confirmed that his head injury had not left any adverse sequelae.
On the way back to Yuting Bay, she sat in the car carefully reviewing his medical report and reminded him, "The doctor said you still need to take the prescribed medication on time, and you can't do any strenuous exercise during this period. You need to make sure you get plenty of rest..."
Jin Changyu sat quietly beside him, listening with a delighted expression.
It feels so good to have a wife who loves you.
After Sang Qian finished speaking, the man next to her did not respond. She looked up in confusion and saw the man staring at her with a silly grin.
She raised her hand and hit him with the report in her hand. "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
"Huh? Uh... I understand, I'll do whatever you say."
Seeing that she still wanted to look at the report, Jin Changyu reached out and snatched it away, tossing it aside. He then moved closer to her and said, "Wife, let's not look at this for now. Let's talk about our date. How about we go to the central square for dinner tonight?"
"no."
Sang Qian refused outright.
Jin Changyu was taken aback. "Why?"
"We just got back, what's the rush?"
"Well... you still need to eat dinner even though you just got back, right?"
"I just told you that you need to rest more. You've been traveling all day coming back from your hometown, so you should rest well at home tonight, okay?"
“…Oh.” Jin Changyu didn’t dare to disobey her. “Then…how about tomorrow night?”
Sang Qian: "Tomorrow night won't work either."
"Why?"
Jin Changyu looked puzzled. "You've already rested for a day, isn't that enough?"
"In short, it won't work."
Seeing that she refused twice in a row, Jin Changyu was shocked. He suddenly grabbed her hand and asked in surprise, "Qianqian, you, you're not going to change your mind, are you?"
"What are you thinking? I'm not," Sang Qian said. "We'll go on the evening of the sixth day of the lunar new year."
The sixth day?
Does that mean we have to wait until the day after tomorrow?
Jin Changyu was a little anxious. "Why? Why can't we do it tomorrow? Do you have to wait another day? Do you have something planned for tomorrow?"
What covenant is more important than their covenant of reunion?
Jin Changyu was somewhat saddened.
