Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Chenglin said without the slightest hesitation: "Of course I will support my wife. What she did was the right thing, and the right thing should be supported by everyone."
Xiao Chenglin's words effectively sealed the fate of the entire incident.
The reporters had nothing more to say.
As Jiang Tian's husband, Xiao Chenglin has shown strong support for his wife. As a prominent figure, he will certainly be able to influence public opinion.
The newspaper was published very quickly.
Many people changed their tune because of Xiao Chenglin's support for Jiang Tian.
That's how the world is; you have to be adaptable and flexible to survive.
Of course, there are also a considerable number of extreme people who keep criticizing Xiao Chenglin, saying that he doesn't manage his wife well and even helps the wicked.
Their curses were useless, because the people of the city all knew that Xiao Chenglin was the one who made their lives better.
Jiang Tian seemed completely unaffected and quickly put her girls' academy on the agenda.
She has been so busy lately that Xiao Chenglin has rarely seen her.
Having finally found her at home, Xiao Chenglin stopped her: "Let's talk."
A commanding tone.
Jiang Tian glanced at him in surprise, but finally nodded silently: "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
Xiao Chenglin looked at her: "How are your plans for the academy coming along?"
"Everything is going smoothly. It will take a little more time to complete the framework. Don't worry, with Mr. Shen helping me, there won't be any problems. Of course, I still want to ask why you are speaking up for me. I thought you would be on the opposite side."
“I understand what you want to do. Your insistence does not contradict my values, so why should I oppose you? If you want to build your college, then build it, but shouldn't we reconsider our relationship?”
Xiao Chenglin stared intently into her eyes, his gaze carrying an indescribable sense of pressure.
"Are you talking about divorce? If you're planning to get a divorce, I'll make the preparations as soon as possible."
Jiang Tian seemed very positive.
“…You know perfectly well that’s not what I think.” Xiao Chenglin’s expression became even more serious.
Jiang Tian smiled at him: "I don't know what you're thinking, but I really do want a divorce. Commander, our marriage has been a mistake from beginning to end, you told me that. Do you really think there's any point in us continuing?"
"I want to give it a try. I have too many prejudices and misunderstandings about you before, and I apologize to you. But since we are still husband and wife on the surface, why not give it a try?"
"Your love life is very inexplicable."
Xiao Chenglin's lips curled into a smile.
He knew it too.
But what can we do?
A person's emotions are the most uncontrollable thing.
You can't control who you like or dislike just by reasoning.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken up with Qin Xueyi.
Jiang Tian surprised him time and time again, making him realize that he shouldn't have looked at a woman with prejudice and disdain.
This will only push away those who truly appreciate him.
Fortunately, there is still a chance.
Xiao Chenglin did not want the mistake to become a permanent one.
"We were born in this era, and my identity is rather special. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can do some things that I want to do. I want to tell you that I want to pursue you, and if possible, we can start a relationship first."
Xiao Chenglin stared intently at Jiang Tian, awaiting her answer.
“If you had said this when we first got married, I might have been moved to tears, thinking I had met the right person. But times change, so much time has passed, and we each have our own lives. I don’t have time to pay attention to anyone else. Just like you said, we are born in this era, so of course we should do as much as possible.”
"As for relationships, I haven't thought about them right now. And when the day comes that I do, it won't be you."
"Why?" Xiao Chenglin frowned.
"Does this question even need to be asked? I think no woman would accept her husband being seen with other women after they have married."
Xiao Chenglin was silent for a moment: "That was my mistake, and I apologize to you."
"No need for apologies. There are too many conflicts between people, but now we should stand on the same side. I thank you for not negating my ideas in crucial situations and for choosing to support me. I also thank you for always protecting me and allowing me to pursue my ideals freely. We can be friends, we can be family, but we can't have romantic love."
Jiang Tian's words only deepened Xiao Chenglin's confusion.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Tian: "Why not? I think you know better than me that no one can go through life without making mistakes. If we can correct our mistakes and choose the right person during the best time of our lives, isn't that a good thing?"
"Because I don't like you, and more importantly, love is exclusive. I can't accept someone who has flaws in love. You didn't choose to respect the person I was back then, and I can't use myself as a bargaining chip again to have a relationship with you or to get better resources. It would be irresponsible and a desecration of life."
Xiao Chenglin's expression turned very ugly.
"Commander, I respect and admire you very much. From the moment I married you, I knew I had gained a hero. This hero, with his own abilities, is protecting our country and shedding his blood. I have always wanted to do something for you. At that time, you didn't need me. Later, due to unforeseen circumstances, I was forced to come here by my parents-in-law. Suddenly, I discovered that there are too many barriers on our side. You can't change someone. At our age, we should choose the life we want to live."
You will meet someone better.
Jiang Tian was just saying polite words, but Xiao Chenglin heard them clearly.
He knew he was despicable and worthless, but he didn't want to back down before speaking his mind.
Now that these words have been spoken, Xiao Chenglin has nothing more to say.
He can't possibly pester someone who doesn't like him.
After a long silence, Xiao Chenglin looked at Jiang Tian and said, "Let's postpone the divorce for a few more days. Your career still needs the title of 'Wives of the Warlord.' Forget what I just said to you. Don't worry, I won't bother you or disturb your life. I hope you can fully realize your dreams."
Thank you.
"You're welcome."
