"Wife, what do you mean by this?"
A few emotions flashed through Xu Zijiang's mind; he felt that his wife's words were a little strange.
"You know what I mean. If you have any questions, just ask them. Don't keep them to yourself. I'm ready to answer them for you."
Yu Jiu happily put the money away. She rested her chin on her hand and looked at Xu Zijiang with a smile. It was time to tell him everything!
"Do you really want to do this? Actually, I don't care. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. I won't force you."
Xu Zi pinched Yu Jiu's delicate and pretty face and gave her a serious lecture.
He had already given her leeway, why didn't this silly wife know to keep it a secret?
"Now I want to say it: I've already had An'an with you, and I'm pregnant with our second child. How could I not trust you? If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be with you."
Yu Jiu's gaze sharpened, and she explained seriously that she hadn't told Xu Zijiang about this before, not because she didn't believe he would tell anyone, but because she was afraid he would be scared of her. But after being married for several years, how could she not know what kind of person Xu Zijiang was? He was incredibly bold; he wouldn't even blink if a ghost stood in front of him.
A truly courageous person might be able to drive away a real ghost with their righteous spirit.
"Then how did you know that the college entrance examination would be reinstated, and how were you so sure that you could do business freely afterward? And that book that you asked me to print, were you also very sure that it would sell well? Even if you predicted that the college entrance examination would be reinstated, how did you know that everyone needed this book?"
Since Yu Jiu had asked him to ask, Xu Zijiang asked all his recent questions. He didn't ask about the old recipes, such as the one for treating chicken plague or the unique recipes for making crab roe pastries. These questions were enough to answer his questions.
Do you believe in past lives?
Instead of answering his question directly, Yu Jiu asked other questions.
I don't believe it.
Xu Zijiang shook his head without hesitation, but since Yu Jiu had brought it up, he had to think about it a bit more. Could it be...?
“I didn’t believe it before either. The idea of a past life was too far-fetched. If I hadn’t experienced it, I wouldn’t have believed it at all. But that’s the truth. I actually lived a whole life. After I died, I returned to the age of eighteen. Then I made a completely different decision than in my previous life, and that’s how I came here, met you, and started my new life.”
As Yu Jiu spoke, she seemed somewhat dazed. She had completely forgotten about her past life. Xu Zijiang's care and love for her were more than enough, not to mention the sense of security she felt. It was as if she had never experienced the blood and tears of her past life.
"this···"
Xu Zijiang's pupils shrank, utterly shocked. How could something so amazing happen! He eagerly pressed for details.
"How did you die in your past life? Were you still young when you died? Why? What happened to you?!"
Even now, Xu Zijiang's first concern was Yu Jiu's safety. He didn't sense any signs of old age in Yu Jiu. Although Yu Jiu was quite steady and meticulous, and had enough experience, he didn't show any signs of being very old. The feeling of an old person is different from that of a young person.
Therefore, Xu Zi was certain that Yu Jiu was not yet thirty years old before she died, and that her recollections of her past life were filled with regret and bewilderment! Who on earth killed his wife?!
"Hey, is this important? Can't you focus on the key points?"
Yu Jiu couldn't help but reach out and punch him, her voice a mix of coquettishness and reproach.
"Tell me quickly, or I won't feel at ease!"
Xu Zijiang pulled the remaining wine into his arms without giving him a chance to refuse, and continued to press for answers, his tone urgent.
"How else could I have died? I was hit by a car. It was just my bad luck. Life was finally getting a little better, and the dawn of hope was breaking, but then..."
Yu Jiu was still somewhat resentful at the end. If it weren't for her deep-seated obsession and heavy resentment, she felt she might not have had the chance to live a second life. Since she was going to be honest, Yu Jiu didn't hide anything anymore. She told Xu Zijiang about her experiences and encounters from beginning to end, and even teased Xu Zijiang as she spoke.
“In our past life, we were just strangers who met by chance. You saved me and were so kind to me, even leaving me money. Did you fall in love with me at first sight? Why didn’t you say so sooner? If you had said you liked me earlier, I would have gone with you. Maybe I wouldn’t have died in my past life and could have come back with you to be your wife.”
She wasn't just saying that casually. Xu Zijiang was handsome, saved her, and treated her so well. Although she remembered his life-saving grace, she wasn't entirely without feelings for him. However, after being deceived by several men, Yu Jiu was wary of him, so it was normal that she didn't dare to develop feelings for him.
But at that time she was already homeless, and he seemed reliable. Even if it was just to repay him, as long as he offered, Yu Jiu would probably still go with him. With some nurturing, feelings would develop, and they might even be able to have a harmonious marriage.
"I'm not that kind of person. Just because I saved you, I don't expect you to repay me with your body. How am I any different from those lecherous men? But if I had known you would suffer so much later, I would have been bolder and taken you away!"
Xu Zijiang held Yu Jiu in his arms, his voice full of regret and remorse.
It's normal for him to save someone given his personality, but to then take good care of them and offer money is just as bad. He must have fallen for Yu Jiu at first sight, just like in his past life! What's more, he was also carrying an injured dog at the time. Normally, he wouldn't go looking for trouble, but Yu Jiu is his sweet trouble!
"It's nothing, I was just teasing you. We met in this life, didn't we? In fact, the beginning was even better. I prefer our meeting in this life; it's safe and secure enough."
Yu Jiu patted his hand, signaling him to abandon business; that was a thing of the past.
"So you were just trying to repay my life-saving grace from the beginning, right? No wonder you always wanted to help me make money and cooperate with me. I thought you had your eye on me, and I was so happy."
As Xu Zijiang spoke, he became a little jealous again. He didn't know if he was jealous of himself from a past life or someone else, but he was a little unhappy. He squeezed Yu Jiuying's fair wrist again, but not with much force, just like a massage.
"Yes, that's right. I only wanted to help you get rich to repay your kindness. I didn't expect you, you scoundrel, to be so greedy. You even want my body! And you deliberately seduced me!"
Yu Jiu glared at him, seemingly a little displeased. She remembered that when she first went to the countryside, she clearly intended to cut off all emotional ties and focus solely on her career! But not long after she arrived, this jerk ruined everything!
"So, do you admit that you actually quite like my seduction?"
Xu Zijiang raised an eyebrow and put Yu Jiu's hand inside his clothes, feeling the well-defined abdominal muscles. Yu Jiu couldn't resist and touched them a couple more times. They felt so good, she liked them!
Xu Zijiang found it amusing to see her instantly become infatuated. Luckily, he wasn't skinny, otherwise it was hard to say whether Yu Jiu would be willing to marry him.
"Ahem, don't interrupt! There's something else I haven't told you yet! It's a secret bigger than being reborn!!!"
