Chapter 14: Honesty



"Why not? The Chairman taught us to be united and friendly, and to be people with a strong sense of social responsibility. As the head of a group, you set an example by adopting poor children. You should be praised. As a family member, I should also follow your example and take good care of the two children."

Lin Jiaojiao had prepared these words in advance, waiting for her island fiancé to examine her so that she could show her awareness!

Ji Huaian's eyes darkened, and hidden in his ink-black pupils was a surge of love.

"You're better than I thought!"

Faced with such a straightforward confession, Lin Jiaojiao's heartbeat accelerated and her face turned red.

It's not shameful, it's embarrassing!

No, no, no, she's really not that good.

She does it all for herself.

"There's actually something I want to tell you about the child."

"?"

Since you have chosen a life partner, you should be honest with him/her from the beginning so as not to let him/her down!

Thinking of this, Ji Huaian said in a deep voice.

"Although I adopted both children, their situations are different. The eldest daughter, Ji Linxue, is six years old this year and is actually my sister's child."

“…”

This shocked Lin Jiaojiao.

Speaking of this matter, Ji Huaian's mood became obviously depressed.

"My sister was abducted by human traffickers when she was fifteen. This has always been a source of worry for my mother and me. Over the years, I have been asking people in the army to help find her."

"Six years ago, I finally found my sister who had been sold to the mountains. But by then, she had already married a local man in his sixties and was pregnant with his child, about to give birth."

"She had a very difficult life. She was often beaten and scolded. When I saw her, she seemed a little abnormal. I took her to the military hospital for recuperation. My mother was old, so we didn't tell her about it. We thought we would tell her after my sister recovered. But she had another difficult birth and only left this daughter."

"I was afraid my mother couldn't bear it, so I haven't told her the truth yet. She always thought the child was from a comrade I adopted."

Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect things to turn out like this.

She nodded.

"It was a white lie."

Ji Huaian said in a light tone.

"Do you think I did the right thing?"

Lin Jiaojiao nodded hesitantly.

After all, she really didn't know whether adopting a child was right or not.

However, if this happened to her own sister.

She would make the same choice as Ji Huaian.

After receiving Lin Jiaojiao's affirmative answer, Ji Huaian no longer had any concerns.

Tell everything about yourself.

"Ji Linxue has a younger brother named Wang Xiaofeng, who is four years old. During a previous mission, his father died to protect me. When his mother found out, she eloped with someone else."

"I tell you this because I hope you'll think it over carefully. After all, marriage is a lifelong thing."

Lin Jiaojiao didn’t know whether Ji Huaian was a good husband.

But what is certain is that Ji Huaian is a good person.

In the original book, even though the original owner eloped with someone, Ji Huaian still felt that it was his own recklessness that forced the other person to elope.

A betrothal gift of 600 yuan was also sent to the Lin family as his apology.

Now that he could tell her all this without reservation, Lin Jiaojiao was very touched.

I already had a good impression of Ji Huaian, and now my impression of him has increased by three points.

"That's all my information. Do you have any other questions?"

"there is none left."

"In that case..." Ji Huaian tried his best to make his tone sound more natural.

"Will you marry me?"

After saying this, he felt as if every inch of his breathing had stagnated, his limbs were extremely stiff, his heart was beating like a drum, and he could only hold the edge of his pants tightly with his hands to stabilize himself a little. He didn't notice that a thin layer of sweat had already covered his head.

This was the first time he had confessed his love to someone in twenty-six years.

He himself felt it was awkward, but he disdained to use those messy methods.

He just wants the best girl in the world to feel his most sincere love.

Lin Jiaojiao looked at the man in front of her whose eyes were locked on her, and felt his nervousness, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

"I agree."

Lin Jiaojiao's gentle words were like a ball of fire, hitting Ji Huaian's chest hard, burning his already restless heart, and the smile on his angular and overly serious face instantly melted away.

Lin Jiaojiao was amazed and her ears burned even hotter.

Ji Huaian took a step closer, the emotions in his eyes were no longer suppressed. He saluted Lin Jiaojiao again, and his voice became louder.

"Please rest assured, I will be as loyal to you and protect you as I am to my country and my people."

Listening to the man's most sincere promise, Lin Jiaojiao's heart was moved again.

My face got hot unconsciously.

"This is for you."

"What?" Lin Jiaojiao looked blankly at the small square iron box that Ji Huaian stuffed into his hand.

When I opened it, I found it was a passbook, as well as food coupons, oil coupons, industrial coupons... dozens of bills of all kinds, large and small.

"This is all the money I've saved over the years. I mail 20 to my mom every month, and the rest is all here."

This man is too honest.

Lin Jiaojiao always feels guilty for bullying honest people.

She pushed the iron box into Ji Huaian's hands.

"I can't accept this. We're not married yet. Aren't you afraid I'm a liar?"

Thinking of the several times he had accidentally heard Lin Jiaojiao confess her love to him before, Ji Huaian shook his head with a firm look in his eyes.
