Based on a woman's intuition, she knew that something was definitely wrong with General Guo's youngest daughter, but she couldn't guess how far it had developed, and she didn't want to continue investigating.
She kept telling herself that maybe it was just the woman's wishful thinking, but Li Jingchen didn't have any other thoughts. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding that day.
When they got home, it was already late. Li Jingchen stood at the door holding Yubao, waiting for her to come back.
When he saw her shadow, Yubao called out "Mom" in a baby voice. This brought Jiang Tuantuan back to reality. She forced a smile and kissed Yubao.
Li Jingchen asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"
Jiang Tuantuan said coldly, "Some things have delayed us. Let's go eat."
Because Feng Xiaoli saw that she came home very late every day in the past few days, she thought she was very busy, so she specially prepared a large table of food tonight, all of which were Jiang Tuantuan’s favorites.
There are candied sweet potatoes, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and fish porridge.
But today she had no appetite at all, and Feng Xiaoli couldn't help but frown.
Yubao seemed to sense that his mother was unhappy, so he ran to her with a piece of dessert in his hand.
"Mom, have some snacks, they're sweet~"
Looking at his lovely big baby, he felt much better. After eating a bowl of porridge, he went back to the house.
Normally, Jiang Tuantuan would play with Yubao for a while at this time, and play until Yubao was supposed to go to bed, but he behaved out of character for the past few days.
"Mom and Dad, I'm a little tired these days, so I'll go back to the house first. Yubao, be good. Mom will play with you tomorrow."
Li Jingchen didn't bother to accompany Yubao anymore, and quickly followed Jiang Tuantuan back to the house.
After entering the room, I saw Jiang Tuantuan sitting alone on the edge of the bed, with his head lowered and a look of loss between his brows.
Li Jingchen asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so unhappy?"
Jiang Tuantuan turned her face away, not looking at him, and said calmly, "If you have something to hide from me, just tell me now."
He thought about it carefully and it seemed that there was nothing to hide.
But seeing Jiang Tuantuan's serious expression, he suddenly remembered that it might not be because of the Guo family's daughter, but he still said, "I really didn't do anything."
The light in Jiang Tuantuan's eyes dimmed. "I saw it all that day. You hugged General Guo's little daughter, right? She even came to see you today."
Suddenly, he was struck by lightning. It turned out that all these people knew about this. Li Jingchen quickly explained, "These are all misunderstandings. I thought you guys would be back soon, so I went to the street to buy some walnut cookies. When I was about to leave, I ran into the little girl from the Guo family. She asked me if I bought them for your wife, and I said yes."
He said, "The little girl from the Guo family said that Madam Jiang was so lucky to have such a perfect husband, and she wished she had one too. As she said that, she came up to me and hugged me. I was confused at the time, and my hands were full, so I didn't hug her."
Although what he said was true and Li Jingchen did not hug the little girl of the Guo family, Jiang Tuantuan was still angry.
Li Jingchen continued, "She came to me today and wanted to invite me to go on an outing together in the next two days when I'm off, but I've already rejected her and made it clear that there's no way we can have any further progress."
"Tuantuan, you have to believe me. I really don't like her. The only person I love is you."
After listening to Li Jingchen's explanation, she felt a little better, but she did not believe what Li Jingchen said directly.
"It depends on your performance in the future. I hope you won't lie to me. If you want freedom, I can set you free."
When he heard this one day, Li Jingchen panicked and thought to himself, I'm not going to be divorced, am I? He even hated himself for not being more decisive and stopping the Guo family's little girl from having any thoughts about him.
Why didn’t he tell Tuantuan right away? In fact, he was afraid that Tuantuan would be angry if he knew, so he kept it a secret.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "When did you two meet? Tell me the truth."
Li Jingchen explained everything in detail: "We met three months ago. General Guo had been back from the frontier for ten days. During these ten days, he came to the military camp. When he came, the little girl from the Guo family also came with him."
"That's when they met, but he didn't say anything to the Guo family's daughter, and they didn't have any conversations after that. He didn't know why the Guo family's daughter suddenly became so enthusiastic towards him."
After hearing this, Jiang Tuantuan looked at Li Jingchen carefully. His handsome face and strong body would indeed attract many women.
But Li Jingchen was usually very cold towards outsiders, so most women didn't dare to approach him easily, especially since he already had a wife and children.
That night, Jiang Tuantuan still didn't let Li Jingchen hold her, and the reason was still that she was hot.
Now I finally understand that the heat is really an excuse.
After thinking about it, I finally figured it out. Could it be that Tuantuan came back so late these days because he was investigating this matter?
Otherwise, how could she know so much, especially knowing that the little girl from the Guo family would come to see me in the evening.
I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
It’s better to be honest in the future. You really can’t hide it from the people around you.
In fact, when the little girl of the Guo family saw Li Jingchen for the first time in the military camp, she fell in love with this man. His majestic temperament was exactly the type she liked.
After returning home, she pestered her father to tell him about Li Jingchen. General Guo couldn't stand his daughter's constant pestering, so he said, "Li Jingchen made great contributions on the battlefield two years ago and was awarded the title of Lieutenant General Li. He is also a promising young man."
He was handsome and talented, and the little girl of the Guo family liked him even more. She began to wait secretly at the gate of the military camp, watching Li Jingchen go home after work.
Later, I found out that Li Jingchen often bought some snacks and delicious food on his way home, and sometimes he would buy a bouquet of flowers. After learning more about him, I found out that Li Jingchen already had a wife and a two-year-old son.
She was extremely disappointed for a moment, but she didn't want to give up, so she began to investigate Jiang Tuantuan's background.
After spending a lot of money, she finally found out that Jiang Yue Pavilion in the capital was opened by Jiang Tuantuan, and the pearl cream she used was actually sold by Jiang Tuantuan. She suddenly didn't know whether she should continue using it.
Later, she went to Jiangyue Pavilion to customize a skirt and bought jewelry. The little girl of the Guo family thought that perhaps Li Jingchen would also like the style of this skirt.
Later she found out that Jiang Tuantuan's family came from Daping Village, Fujiang County, Jizhou, and they were just farmers. It seems that it was thanks to Li Jingchen that they were able to open the Jiangyue Pavilion shop.
Moreover, her family background was completely incomparable to hers, which gave the little girl of the Guo family some confidence. After all, her father was a general, and she was the general's daughter, so her status was no less noble than Jiang Tuantuan's.
It just so happened that her mother started arranging a marriage for her, but those men were not her type, so she decided to take a chance and pursue the person she loved.
After becoming Li Jingchen's wife, she stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her wife in the mirror. She thought she was extremely beautiful. Although she had never seen what Jiang Tuantuan looked like, she felt that she must be more beautiful than Jiang Tuantuan.
