Just as Jiang Mingxin was about to retaliate, Xing Haodong pulled him behind him.
He quietly pressed her thumb, signaling her to be patient.
"Auntie, who do you think seduced a married man?"
Xing Haodong is tall and straight, with a heroic posture. Even a slight raise of his eyebrows shows his righteousness.
He looked around calmly, his expression extremely frank.
"I'm single, and this woman is over 18 and has never been married. Putting aside how I actively pursued her to get her to agree to date me, the fact that we dared to hold hands in public should tell you that we're in a legitimate relationship."
As soon as these words were spoken, the patients watching the excitement around them all laughed.
"Yeah, it's obvious that she's in a serious relationship. How dare a married man show off like that?"
"Most of the time, they just don't like the idea of young people dating, so they gossip about it."
Zhang Lu was dumbfounded. "Don't believe his excuses! Aren't there many shameless men out there? My brother-in-law is usually a gentleman, but a few days ago he insisted on divorcing my sister because he found a mistress!"
"That's your sister's family affair. What does it have to do with us?" Xing Haodong retorted, not intending to say more to her.
He simply opened his coat, pulled out an ID from the inside pocket and shoved it in her face.
"I'm from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. If you insist on slandering me, I'll call my colleagues right now and ask you to cooperate with the investigation."
When Zhang Lu saw the blue book with the official seal on it, she was immediately frightened out of her wits.
"I...I recognized the wrong person, the wrong person."
After saying that, he slipped out of the county hospital, crawling and rolling.
Seeing this, the crowd around dispersed. How could a comrade from the Municipal Public Security Bureau have a mistress?
It must be that woman who was talking nonsense just now.
Jiang Mingxin curiously grasped his blue book and turned it over and over for a long time. "It looks real. By the way, how many documents do you have?"
Xing Haodong raised his eyebrows, put away his police ID, and pinched her fingers.
"Not many, maybe five or six."
Jiang Mingxin was very surprised. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is that all true?"
Xing Haodong glared at her unhappily. "What are you thinking? Of course they're all real. Using fake IDs is illegal. But some of my identities are just nominal. To make it easier to carry out my mission, I asked the leaders to make exceptions."
"So he's actually a vest man. I didn't know that before."
She pouted and muttered quietly, but her face didn't look angry at all.
Xing Haodong habitually stroked the back of her hand, and was reluctant to let go even though his thumb, which had just scabbed over, was a little painful.
In addition to the wound on his waist, he felt pain in two places, and his mind became clearer and clearer.
Walking on the path home, his voice was low and tender: "Mingxin, I sincerely apologize to you again. Last night... I shouldn't have said that to you. I am petty and narrow-minded. I was rejected, so..."
"But that's definitely not what I meant, nor did I ever think about it that way. I was just so angry that I said something without thinking. I hope you don't take it to heart, and don't think too much about it. If you're still mad at me, feel free to hit me a few more times."
Then she raised her hand and slapped herself in the face.
Jiang Mingxin sighed, feeling both amused and helpless.
"You're already injured, how could I bear to do that? Besides, I beat you up last night, didn't I? I noticed when I was putting makeup on you. Your left cheek is swollen, and inside your mouth... is everything okay?"
Seeing that she was still willing to care about him, Xing Haodong was no longer so nervous.
He spent several hours by the river last night and figured out everything he could. There were some things he really couldn't figure out, so he didn't plan to think about them for the time being.
"It's my fault. It's indeed a bit hasty to get married now. And I proposed at the wrong time. No wonder you refused."
Jiang Mingxin caught a glimpse of the bloodshot in his eyes, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand.
"Actually, I..."
"It's okay, I understand." Xing Haodong interrupted her hurriedly, fearing that she would bring up breaking up again.
Licking his lips nervously, he said, "What I said to Aunt Hu before wasn't false. It's just that seeing you tormented by a nightmare last night, in so much pain, I couldn't help myself... But I'm really serious. I want to give you a family through marriage, legitimately and legitimately."
Home?
Jiang Mingxin was deeply touched by this word.
At this moment, she was filled with heartache and guilt towards this open-minded man.
She couldn't help but lean her head over and snuggle on his shoulder. "I want to apologize to you, too. Last night... I was outspoken and said a lot of heartless things. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Xing Haodong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s great that my wife doesn’t really want to break up with him!
He immediately held her hand tighter, "Okay, then we'll each do it once, and we'll be even. Let's not talk about the quarrel last night anymore."
Jiang Ming's heart skipped a beat as he stepped up the step he offered. He felt soft in his heart and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Hmm!" Her brows brightened instantly.
"Let's go home. You can't eat the chopped pepper fish head anymore. You can only have fish soup instead."
But just as they reached the door, she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, which river did you rescue the child from?"
Xing Haodong recalled for a moment and replied, "Walk west along the vegetable market. Isn't there a farmers' market there? There's a small river nearby. The water isn't deep enough for an adult, but it could drown a child."
"So that's really where it is..." Jiang Mingxin muttered to herself, then turned around and asked him, "You left after rescuing the child?"
