Even though the Chiang family had made their explanation, everyone's attitude at the banquet remained ambiguous.
As darkness fell, Jiang Qing and Jiang Guofu saw off the guests who had come to attend the banquet one after another.
The hired workers also cleaned up the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and soon the courtyard was empty.
Jiang Qing felt no joy at all about the banquet. "During the banquet today, everyone was talking about whether Shen Mingzhi was a widow who married our Shao Chen. How do you explain that?"
After all, they've already had two children... Shen Mingzhi had a past relationship with Zhang Ping; they could find out by asking around.
“Even if you explain, they might not listen. Zhizhi’s baby is already a few months along, don’t they have eyes to see?” Jiang Guofu walked to the rattan chair in the yard and sat down, his tone grave.
Jiang Qing sat down next to him and glanced into the room.
The lanterns were festive, but they were nothing like the lively and joyful atmosphere they had imagined.
The Song family's visit ultimately had a negative impact on the banquet.
"What we're worried about now is Shen Mingzhi's attitude after she finds out the truth. As for what's going on outside, that's not our concern for now." The reason Jiang Guofu held a banquet and even had Jiang Shaozhen give Shen Mingzhi a dowry of three thousand yuan was to make up for her.
I also hope that after she and Shao Chen hold their wedding banquet, and she finds out the truth in the future, she will still have some feelings for each other and won't hate them for keeping it from her.
Jiang Qing leaned back in her chair, remained silent for a while, then got up and went back into the house to see her granddaughter and grandson.
The night grew deeper.
Shen Mingzhi washed her face, took off her wedding dress, and sat in front of the mirror, her heart pounding with anxiety.
Jiang Shaochen walked in and saw that she was still fixing the hair clip in her hair. He walked behind her and reached out to help her take the hair clip off.
Shen Mingzhi's heart was beating very fast, especially when his slightly rough fingers touched her skin, she felt as if she had been burned.
She quickly withdrew her hand and coughed lightly, "Is everything outside tidied up?"
"Well, it's getting late, let's go to sleep..." Jiang Shaozhen said, secretly glancing at Shen Mingzhi in the mirror.
She looked just as beautiful in the mirror, illuminated by the light.
Jiang Shaozhen felt feverish all over and turned to walk to the side to unbutton his clothes.
Shen Mingzhi sat on the edge of the bed, dressed in her wedding gown.
Jiang Shao Chen clenched his fist, turned around and walked to the bedside, leaning down to look at her: "Are you scared?"
Shen Mingzhi looked at him with her clear, black and white eyes.
His eyes were sparkling, looking brighter and more captivating than ever before.
This magnified handsome face is right up close.
Shen Mingzhi's heart was pounding like a drum... In modern times, she was just a single woman, and had never experienced anything like this before.
She licked her lips and looked away. "What are you afraid of? We're husband and wife now, why are you saying you're afraid—hmm."
Before she could finish speaking, he kissed her lips.
Jiang Shao Chen held her as they lay on the bed, gently kissing her for a while before letting go. "Zhi Zhi, I will be good to you. I will only be good to you in this life. Trust me."
Shen Mingzhi looked at him leaning against her, her throat tightened, her thoughts were completely in disarray... and she felt unbearably hot.
"Are you really not bothered that I have two children? I'm not a virgin anymore..."
"Tonight is our special night, and it has nothing to do with anyone else or anything else," Jiang Shaozhen interrupted her in a hoarse voice.
Shen Mingzhi's cheeks flushed slightly. She turned her head away and pursed her moist lips.
Looking at her exceptionally fair neck, Jiang Shaozhen wanted to tell her at this moment that the man in the cave last year was him.
But he was afraid that if he spoke of this beautiful moment, Shen Mingzhi would fly into a rage and the night would be over.
Jiang Shaochen could find a way to overcome any hardship or even life-threatening danger.
But when it came to his relationship with Shen Mingzhi, he no longer had the decisive mindset he used to have, and he couldn't even be honest with her.
He thought timidly, what if Shen Mingzhi didn't want him anymore if he told her?
She strongly desires a divorce, and he will agree; there's no way he'll keep her by his side.
"I'm going to sleep if you don't start." Shen Mingzhi muttered to herself when she saw that he didn't move, and then reached for the blanket.
I don't know if it was because she had been drinking, but I felt a little joy and anticipation in her heart.
Jiang Shaozhen held her hand down.
His eyes were filled with a strong possessiveness towards her. His breathing was heavy and rapid as he slowly moved closer to her again, taking off his suit jacket.
Although Shen Mingzhi was afraid, she was also somewhat looking forward to it.
She never experienced this in her past life, so she'll make up for it in this one. Besides, Jiang Shao Chen is good-looking and has a good physique, so she's not really at a disadvantage.
Jiang Shaochen kissed her lips again, his kisses careful and tender.
Shen Mingzhi's head soon became dizzy.
The meticulous kisses, and the hand that ignited passion within her... made her feel as if she were immersed in it.
I felt lightheaded, and the excitement in my heart was indescribable.
Last time I was in the cave, I felt fear and panic, but this time, it was truly sweet.
The next morning.
Jiang Shaochen woke up at the same time as usual.
Shen Mingzhi had been tormented by him for too long last night, and her eyes were extremely heavy.
As soon as he woke up, he hugged Shen Mingzhi into his arms.
The two were in close physical contact.
He looked down at the woman in his arms, his voice low and husky, "Zhizhi, what do you want for breakfast? Meat buns, or soy milk and fried dough sticks, or I'll have Aunt Wang cook something else for you to nourish your body."
Hearing his words, Shen Mingzhi opened her eyes and saw his handsome face so close to hers. She thought of everything that had happened last night, and her cheeks flushed. She closed her eyes tightly and said, "Just... buy something casually. Aren't you going to the construction site today?"
"Hmm, but I'm a little reluctant to part with her." Jiang Shaozhen really wanted to stay in bed with her longer.
And now, when he thinks back on it, he feels like everything that happened last night was a dream.
Last time in the cave, he was unconscious and didn't know what it felt like.
But last night... he felt like he had entered paradise.
It's addictive.
I originally intended to be gentle with her last night, just once.
But in the end, he couldn't control himself.
"Get up quickly, I want to sleep a little longer," Shen Mingzhi said, shifting her body slightly before feeling discomfort.
She got angry thinking about how many times she had asked him to stop last night, but he wouldn't stop, and he kept coaxing and begging her for what she wanted.
She kicked him, frowning as she said, "It's all your fault, I feel awful!"
Jiang Shao Chen hugged her tightly, "Wife, how did I behave last night?"
Shen Mingzhi didn't answer, but blushed and burrowed into the blankets.
As expected of a soldier, he's physically strong and skilled in his job.
