Chapter 114 Ambiguous Moments
"What?" Lu Mingzheng turned to look at Jiang Ruzhen in shock and asked nervously.
"My mom came to see you. What did she say?"
Now that Jiang Ruzhen knows Lu Mingzheng's feelings and the two have cleared up the misunderstanding, she will not hide it for Lu Mingzheng's mother.
That's just her personality; she holds grudges and won't back down. Since that Boss Bai dared to send people to insult and teach her a lesson, she didn't need to be polite.
“Your mother sent a lawyer named Wu De to warn me that I am not good enough for you. With her there, I should give up on this idea and not even think about marrying into your family.”
He also demanded 50,000 yuan from Wu De, telling me to disappear from his world immediately.
"What? He dares to talk to you like that?" Lu Mingzheng clenched his fists so hard they cracked. He himself wouldn't dare let Jiang Ruzhen suffer any injustice, so why should she have to put up with other people's bad temper?
His mother is really cunning; she promised him to her face that she wouldn't care, but then she used such underhanded tactics behind his back.
Seeing Lu Mingzheng's livid face, Jiang Ruzhen continued to fan the flames, "Your mother also said that this was your idea, that you have agreed to sever ties with me and never come to see me again."
Lu Mingzheng was furious. No wonder Jiang Ruzhen looked so unpleasant to him when he came back. He thought it was because he had angered her by leaving without saying goodbye.
I never expected so many things to happen in between.
"Ah Zhen, I never said those things, you have to believe me." Lu Mingzheng was eager to confess his feelings, so he grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's arm and wouldn't let go.
“Of course I believe you. I’m just angry with your mother,” Jiang Ruzhen nodded.
"Ah Zhen, you're so kind." Lu Mingzheng felt like a prisoner sentenced to death who was suddenly released without charge.
He excitedly pulled Jiang Ruzhen over, hugged her, and affectionately rubbed his chin against the top of her head.
The two enjoyed a rare moment of quiet intimacy.
After a while, Lu Mingzheng's heart began to stir. He looked down at the unusually obedient woman in his arms and gently nuzzled her chin down.
His lips, slightly tense, slid across her eyebrows, the tip of her nose, and down...
"Bang!"
A huge firework burst open above their heads, dazzling and captivating Jiang Ruzhen's attention.
She pushed Lu Mingzheng's eyes away and looked up at the sky, where huge, colorful fireworks were blooming one after another, eliciting gasps of amazement from Jiang Ruzhen.
She was so engrossed in the beautiful fireworks that she completely ignored Lu Mingzheng's presence.
Lu Mingzheng turned his head angrily to look at the small head peeking out from behind the distant reef.
You little rascal, you're dead meat.
After we got back, we made him run a 20-mile training exercise.
You can't tell the difference in her eyebrows or eyes at all, and she always interrupts him at the most crucial moment.
Jiang Ruzhen looked up at the sky in fascination. The magnificent fireworks rain temporarily calmed her restless mood. She enjoyed the beauty of the world, and much of the resentment in her heart dissipated.
Lu Mingzheng opened his coat and stepped forward to wrap Jiang Ruzhen's entire body in it.
"Do you like it? I prepared it especially for you."
Jiang Ruzhen relaxed, leaning softly against Lu Mingzheng's warm chest, and nodded. "I like it! Thank you!"
Thank you for appearing in my life, thank you for saving me from danger time and time again, thank you for never abandoning me.
In short, thank you so much...
The two snuggled happily together on the beach, looking up to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display.
Afterwards, Jiang Ruzhen felt somewhat disappointed, as beautiful things always seem to be fleeting.
What about her happiness?
Should we hold on tight?
Jiang Ruzhen walked forward in silence, and Lu Mingzheng quietly followed, grabbing her small hand and interlocking their fingers.
The two exchanged a smile and strolled back slowly.
Jiang Ruzhen found it amusing; they seemed like an old married couple, naturally harmonious.
She enjoyed the warm moments she spent with Lu Mingzheng.
When they returned to the front of the small building, Lu Mingzheng did not go upstairs, but instead led them directly to the car.
Opening the trunk reveals a large quantity of various gift boxes.
Lu Mingzheng waved to the small head that was slowly peeking out from upstairs, "Come down and help me move my things."
As soon as the children saw it, they rushed downstairs. They were overjoyed to see so many good things in the car.
This place not only contains food and drinks, but also various precious tonics, wines, and teas—it includes everything from firewood and rice to oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.
After moving, the children discovered several game console boxes, which made them even more excited.
A video game console? That's such a rare thing these days.
"You spoil them too much," Jiang Ruzhen said with a smile.
“I’ll spoil you too. Come with me!” Lu Mingzheng led the person to the passenger seat and, as if by magic, pulled a television set out of the car.
"A television? Where did you get that?"
"I had someone import it from abroad," Lu Mingzheng said casually.
As soon as the things were moved into the living room, everyone in the house rushed over.
"A television? That's a rare find!"
The elderly couple touched this and that with great interest; they were very curious about this thing.
"Wait a minute, I'll install the antenna first, and we'll be able to watch it right away."
Lu Mingzheng acted swiftly and decisively, quickly assembling the antenna with the help of several children. The antenna was then tied to a huge piece of wood and placed in a corner of the house.
The weather was perfect today, not a breath of wind. The antenna spun around and picked up the picture in no time.
The national television station is currently broadcasting a very popular TV series from back then, called "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp".
It tells the story of Jiang Bo, who, before liberation, went alone into the lion's den for eighteen years to complete the glorious and arduous task assigned by the Party.
Disregarding his personal safety, he skillfully maneuvered against the enemy, made decisive decisions at crucial moments, and used his quick wit to evade the enemy's surveillance, repeatedly sending out intelligence safely, thwarting the enemy's conspiracies and tricks, and finally ushering in liberation.
This was the first domestically produced TV series in China. It only had 9 episodes, but it caused a huge viewing frenzy when it premiered, and once set a record of 99% viewership.
Even after returning from the future, the plot remains incredibly compelling.
Jiang Ruzhen sat on the sofa watching TV with her family. As the plot unfolded, she felt tense, proud, scared, and excited all at once.
In the evening, everyone gathered together to make dumplings and stay up all night to welcome the New Year. The atmosphere was lively and bustling.
Jiang Ruzhen was surrounded by a lively atmosphere, smiling, but deep down she felt a little dazed.
Is this really the happy life she can have?
Is all of this a dream?
A burning heat came from her palm, and Jiang Ruzhen came back to her senses, only to find that Lu Mingzheng had sat down next to her at some point and was holding her hand tightly.
She instantly understood what he meant and gripped his hand tightly.
No matter what difficulties or obstacles she encounters, she is determined to protect this peaceful and tranquil land.
Jiang Nian'an and Tian Rong couldn't help but smile at each other when they saw the two of them being so affectionate.
At the dinner table, in high spirits, he invited everyone to drink.
As a result, they drank too much, and Jiang Ruzhen also drank too much.
Jiang Zhengyu and the eldest son helped the elderly couple back to their room to rest, while Lu Mingzheng, in front of everyone, picked up Jiang Ruzhen and carried her to the bedroom.
The fourth brother was about to get up and stop them when he was suppressed by the second brother and Xin Xin, who continued playing their game console as if they hadn't seen anything.
Lu Mingzheng carried Jiang Ruzhen back to bed, then went to the bathroom to wet a hot towel and gently wiped Jiang Ruzhen's face, hands, and even feet.
He was worried that she wouldn't be comfortable sleeping, so he took off her coat. The whole process was incredibly gentle, but there wasn't a trace of lust in his eyes.
He genuinely just wanted to make Jiang Ruzhen more comfortable, out of a sense of care.
But when she got to her pants, Jiang Ruzhen, still half asleep, grabbed his large hand and mumbled, "No, you have to take responsibility if we sleep together..."
