Chapter 219 I treat you as my lover, but you treat me as your father
"I don't know the details yet."
Jiang Xiangbei changed the subject, "If you insist on staying in the village, have you ever thought about the consequences of your marriage?"
She is not young anymore. If she waits a few more years, she can really be called a leftover woman.
Ye Jiao smiled in relief and asked, "Is it really important to get married or not? Does a woman have to get married in this life?"
Jiang Xiangbei smiled in surprise, somewhat surprised that in this era, he would meet a girl with thoughts like Ye Jiao.
He said, "Of course not."
Ye Jiao gazed at the lone moon in the night sky and sighed, "I came to this world not to get married, have children, or reproduce, but to observe the world, how flowers bloom, how water flows, when the sun rises, and how it sets. I think this is the meaning of my life. Those worldly things are just one of the choices in life."
Perhaps half a year ago, she was like other girls, thinking that the most important thing for a woman in her life was to find a good man to marry, give birth to a big fat boy, and take care of her family.
But when she studied medicine seriously, successfully cured one patient after another and received their praise and gratitude, everything became different.
She felt that only in this way could she truly realize her own value and her trip to this place was not in vain.
"Master, why haven't you ever married?"
Many people have asked Jiang Xiangbei this question.
Jiang Xiangbei’s answer is always that he is too busy.
But when facing his young apprentice, he said: "I won't fill in random answers just because others are handing in their papers."
What does it matter if he ends up living alone if he doesn't meet the right person?
Ye Jiao asked again: "What kind of girl does the master like?"
Jiang Xiangbei looked at the innocent look of the little girl, and a gentle and intoxicating smile appeared between his eyebrows. He whispered, "You are like this."
'You're like this'
These four words penetrated into Ye Jiao's limbs and bones like an electric current, making her whole body numb and her heart tremble and weaken.
Master, he...
How could he...
Ye Jiao hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye, and muttered, "Master...Master, are you kidding?"
Jiang Xiangbei pursed his lips, put his arms around her slender shoulders, and forced her to look him in the eye. "What if what I said is true?"
Ye Jiao was slightly startled. Looking at the man's gentle and affectionate eyes, her heart beat faster involuntarily. She forced herself to calm down and took a deep breath. "Master... this is not funny at all."
The man suddenly loosened his grip and let her go free.
"Hasn't your mind been cleared yet?"
And Jiang Huaichuan?
Ye Jiao bit her lip and stammered, "Yes... and no."
"Um?"
"He... he's already married. Naturally, I won't continue to harbor wishful thoughts about him, and I won't disturb his life. But... to me, he's more than just a simple crush. He's my savior."
Ye Jiao never told anyone about this.
A big part of the reason why she likes Jiang Huaichuan is because he saved her life.
Jiang Xiangbei's deep and cold eyes were instantly shocked. When did this happen? Why didn't he know?
