Chapter 80 You are different from other men
Back on the ship, the soldiers couldn't help but shout.
"Xiangying is back!"
Scarface held the two children and squeezed to the front of the crowd: "Look, your mother is back!"
Xiang Yuanlang and Xiang Xiuxiu finally stopped making noise and looked at them with their big eyes blinking.
Scarface was almost tortured to death by these two children.
Since Xiangying was not around, he was worried that the two children were scared, so he took the initiative to comfort them.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuanlang learned this from someone, but he insisted on kneeling on the ground and crawling like a dog, and also asked his sister to ride a big horse.
Scarface believes that a man should stand tall and upright, with gold beneath his knees, so how can he just kneel and crawl for fun?
But he fell for Xiang Xiuxiu's soft and sweet call of "Uncle Scar".
Just crawl, what’s the big deal about being a horse!
The two kids played non-stop until Xiangying finally came back.
"Mom!" Xiang Xiuxiu stretched out her little hand, and Scarface handed the child over.
Xiang Ying held Xiang Xiu Xiu with one hand and touched Xiang Yuanlang's forehead with the other hand.
"Are you two good kids?"
"Good boy," Xiang Xiuxiu shook her head, "Uncle Scar is still playing with us."
Xiangying turned his eyes away, and Scarface straightened his body in embarrassment.
"It's just a small favor. You're welcome."
The rest of the soldiers couldn't wait any longer and crowded over to ask Xiangying questions.
"I heard that you persuaded those pirates to rebel. Is that true?"
"There was a loud explosion before. Skinny Monkey said you were holding the explosive pack and died together with the pirates."
The thin monkey's face changed and he raised his voice: "I didn't say that. Stop messing around here! Sister-in-law, don't listen to them."
He smiled so hard that you could even see his teeth.
But just as he laughed, he saw Jie Chen's cold and gloomy face.
The skinny monkey immediately restrained his expression and quietly retreated to the back.
Jie Chen looked at everyone and ordered, "You all go back, Xiangying, come with me."
He walked in front, Xiangying looked at his back with her eyes slightly narrowed.
She knew that she had to talk to Jie Chen about the child.
Instead of keeping it a secret, I might as well tell him everything.
Xiangying asked Taoxue to take the children back. Just as he was about to leave, Scarface lowered his voice and warned him, "Xiangying, don't get angry with the military supervisor. He took people to the pirates' camp to save you, which is against the rules."
Xiangying pursed her red lips and said nothing.
The two of them came to Jie Chen's room, closed the door, and the light of setting sun shone in, accompanied by the sound of rushing water.
Jie Chen stood in front of the window with his back to her, arms folded, his eyes looking into the distance, no one knew what he was thinking.
Xiangying murmured in her heart, why did this man ask her to come in alone and not say anything? What was he planning?
Could it be that he wanted to kill her?
"About the child..." Jie Chen finally spoke.
Xiangying immediately responded: "Don't worry about the child. I will tell you when I figure it out. I am a little confused after experiencing the destruction of the country."
"But I can guarantee that the child will be yours in the future."
Xie Chen frowned, glanced sideways, and there was murderous light in his eyes.
Xiangying then realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she quickly changed her words: "What I meant is that my child must be yours in the future."
Xie Chen's jawline was tense and his face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out.
Xiangying pinched his brows and said, "Forget it. The more you talk, the more wrong you are. You should speak first."
Xie Chen retracted his gaze, paused for a moment, and then said, "I won't pursue the matter of the child."
Not pursuing the matter? Why didn't you say so earlier!
Just as Xiangying was about to speak, Jie Chen looked at her again, his eyes cold: "But you'd better not lie to me a second time."
"I can understand you. You lied in a hurry to protect your child and yourself, but there is no such thing as a third time. I can forgive you if you behave yourself during the exile. But if you do it again, I will never forgive you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around, opened the door, and signaled Xiangying that he could leave.
Xiangying stood there in a daze, with a hint of surprise in her phoenix eyes.
She looked at him: "You...you are not angry anymore?"
From Jie Chen's perspective, she said that he was the father of the child and that she used the child's existence to keep him safe along the way.
But in the end, Jie Chen discovered that she didn't even know who the father of her child was.
If Xiangying were Jie Chen, he would feel like he was being teased and toyed with.
No one likes to be a father, especially a cuckold of such a big magnitude. Jie Chen wore the same hat for half of the life and was quite responsible.
Jie Chen glanced at her coldly.
"I'm angry."
"The world is not good now, and it is even harsher for women. Whatever means you use to protect yourself are all right."
"I don't care what kind of character you had in the past. I will only mention the times when you helped me during my exile. For that reason, I will forgive you this time. I have nothing to lose."
His voice was cold and he stood by the door, illuminated by a ray of light from the sunset.
A different color slowly rose in Xiangying's eyes.
She slowly walked up to Jie Chen and looked him up and down with a strange look.
Xie Chen frowned: "What?"
Xiangying sighed: "You seem different from the men here."
In this era where women are not treated as human beings, Jie Chen can actually understand her thoughts.
He is a rare man with a good figure, good personality and good kung fu!
Since she was no longer concerned about the child, Xiangying no longer had any psychological burden on him and walked away with a relaxed pace.
Jie Chen stared at her back and slowly frowned.
She just said that he is different from other men?
Compare him with those male favorites?
Xie Chen took a long breath and suppressed his inner unhappiness.
*
The big ship sailed slowly on the dangerous river and successfully left Hulukou.
After about four days of travel, you will arrive in Luzhou.
Xiangying took the children to fish on the deck.
I saw Fang Gan being guarded by two soldiers, squatting on the ground and cleaning the planks.
Seeing Xiangying, Fang Gan the dog looked over and cried for help.
"Princess, please help me. Jie Chen doesn't treat me as a human being. He makes me clean the boat day and night. If this continues, I won't be able to survive!"
Xiangying glanced at him with her phoenix eyes and said, "If you really don't want to live, tell me and I'll help you throw yourself into the water. I don't trust others to do this, and I'm afraid you won't be drowned."
The three little ones covered their mouths and laughed.
Fang Gan was stunned for a moment, then immediately cried out that he was wronged.
The soldiers were annoyed by his noise and urged him: "Hurry up, that side hasn't been cleaned yet!"
Xiangying naturally didn't have a good attitude towards Fang Gan.
She did not forget that day when Fang Gan came to her at night and said he wanted to send her away, but the next thing he said was to ask her to hand over her precious things for safekeeping.
Xiangying is not stupid, so how could he not understand why he came?
To put it bluntly, it was all caused by the imperial seal that I had only heard of but never touched!
Xiang Xiuxiu picked up the fishing net, and three or four fat fish were jumping inside.
The little girl was very happy: "Mom, I want to eat spicy fish fillet!"
Xiangying hugged the children and said, "The pickled cabbage we made last time should be ready to eat. Let's make spicy and sour fish today."
Fang Gan watched Xiang Ying walking away from the corner of his eye, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes.
The soldier behind him pushed him: "Hurry up and wipe it, what are you looking at! That's our sister-in-law."
Fang Gan swallowed his anger and resigned himself to his fate, cleaning the planks diligently.
As the young master of Shadow Hall, he can endure hardships and pain! He will definitely be able to regain Xiangying's trust!
