Chapter 726: Requesting Reconciliation

# Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Jiang Muye could tell she wasn't joking, and he was also afraid that she'd worry about it and end up feeling miserable. So he pressed her little face in his hands and gave her a long, deep kiss. "I can kiss you like this, so how could I kiss the kid like this? You think a kid could steal my affection for you?"

Even if they had a kid, Jiang Muye felt that Leng Ruoli's place in his heart could never be shaken by anyone.

In Jiang Muye's heart, the ranking was: first was his Dao Companion. After all, a Dao Companion was the one who'd spend the rest of his life with him.

Second were his parents. After all, they'd raised him for most of his life.

Third was the kid. After all, they hadn't even met yet, and would only become family later on. Eventually the kids would grow up, start their own families and careers, and meet someone who loved them.

When Leng Ruoli heard Jiang Muye's words, her face was filled with satisfied happiness.

She whispered, "Wait until the baby's born, then say that."

"I actually hope that once the baby's born, I'll be the one who falls out of favor. I hear that once a mother has a baby, she doesn't care about her husband nearly as much." Jiang Muye sighed.

But Leng Ruoli leaned against Jiang Muye's chest and said very seriously, "How could that be? It's just like you said, you're someone the kid could never replace. You're my husband. Could I kiss my baby like this? So don't get jealous over the kid."

Jiang Muye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "So now I'm jealous over the kid? Who was it that just spread all that anxiety, saying that from now on my place in the family might not be safe?"

"I'm not the same as you~" Leng Ruoli's little face turned red.

"How are you not the same? You and I have the exact same mindset. Just relax and wait for the baby to be born."

As Jiang Muye spoke, he bent down and kissed Leng Ruoli's belly. "Did you hear that? You'd better behave and listen to your mom in there. No getting up to mischief, or else once you two come out, I'm going to spank your butts. Even if my Darling tries to beg for mercy on your behalf, it won't work."

Leng Ruoli burst out laughing. "They're not even formed yet, they probably don't know what you're saying."

"They have heartbeats, they've got to have some kind of feeling. Anyway, I'm putting my harsh words out here, consider it a threat to scare them a bit!"

"Haha, aren't you afraid that when the time comes they'll hold a grudge and really start acting up, being little brats?"

"Then I've got my own ways of dealing with little brats."

"No hitting~!" Leng Ruoli's heart ached immediately.

"The discipline I'm talking about isn't hitting. When I was little I was way too mischievous, and I got beaten by my parents constantly. I have to let my kids grow up in a carefree, healthy and happy environment."

Jiang Muye nodded. "They don't need to be too outstanding, but they absolutely have to be happy. They don't need to take on pressure from all sides, and they don't need to be beaten or scolded. Just let them grow up free and easy!"

When Leng Ruoli heard Jiang Muye's words, she resonated with them deeply.

She also just wanted the kids to grow up healthy and happy. Anyway, the kids would be born rich for generations, and the fortune they'd accumulated would last them several lifetimes without ever working a day.

Besides, for the kids' sake, they'd set up a trust fund too, to keep the family fortune from being squandered.

"I'm the same as you," Leng Ruoli's lips curved up involuntarily, then she began to rub her belly. "Babies, you have to listen to Mom and Dad, okay."

After Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli sat in the chairs for a while, the air grew colder and colder.

Jiang Muye, being more considerate of his Darling's health, said to her, "Darling, let's go home. Time to get a good night's sleep."

"Okay. A few more days and it's New Year. It went so fast." Leng Ruoli saw the world outside all decorated with lanterns and streamers, and her lips curved up involuntarily.

"The days to come are the ones that'll really fly by. That's life, isn't it." Jiang Muye's lips quirked up.

Where did all the time go? It had gone by so fast. He'd gone from a big young guy to a husband, and now he was about to be a father.

But Jiang Muye had gradually come to understand that a man had to stand tall and hold up the sky, to give his all for this family, and to protect everyone in it, old and young.

Leng Ruoli smiled, took Jiang Muye's hand, and got into the car under Jiang Muye's care.

The car drove off toward happiness itself.

……

After catching the bouquet, Xiang Shan was overjoyed.

After the wedding ended, as soon as they left the hotel, she couldn't help but start showing off to Father Leng. "Leng Qihua, did you see that? This is the bouquet I caught. It means the next one to get married is very likely me!"

Faced with her hint, Father Leng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Didn't you always set yourself up as a career woman, with no interest in marriage?"

But Xiang Shan held the bouquet very shyly. "People's thinking changes. Maybe this is fate's arrangement."

"…Alright then." It was her choice, and Father Leng respected it.

Xiang Shan asked in a coquettish voice, "Don't you have any thoughts about it?"

Father Leng: "…" He was a bit panicked now. Where was he, what was he supposed to do?

"Once the wedding's over in a bit, do you have anything you want to do? Let's do it together." Xiang Shan was very eager.

Father Leng was sweating profusely. "I want to be alone for a while."

Xiang Shan's eyes were full of reproach. "Can't I keep you company?"

"The company still has a lot of work. I have to go deal with it." Father Leng made an excuse.

Xiang Shan said, "It's your daughter's wedding, and you still want to work? On such an important day, of course you should go get a good rest."

She said to Father Leng, "I hear you're pretty good at ice skating. How about you take me to the rink and teach me?"

"I started too late, and besides, I haven't been to a rink in a long time. I'm not that skilled. You'd better find a coach." Father Leng refused.

Xiang Shan wasn't discouraged. "Why find a coach? Actually, the two of us could improve together. Sometimes falling down together and getting back up is fun too."

And if a Hero Saves the Beauty happened along the way, that'd be nice too.

"No need," Father Leng refused. "I don't think I'll go."

Xiang Shan kept asking, "Then do you play games? I've gotten pretty good at them now. How about we go play games?"

Father Leng: "I think I'll go work."

Xiang Shan felt a bit gloomy.

She finally understood just how awful she'd been back then. She saw her past self completely in Leng Qihua.

Whenever she got busy, she'd blow Leng Qihua off, no interest in anything, and it was Leng Qihua who kept chasing after her.

That hardship and exhaustion, she'd never taken it seriously, and never mind that Leng Qihua also had to work especially hard and consider her feelings.

Xiang Shan felt that she'd really been too immature before.

For a time, it made her feel a bit ashamed.

This was karmic retribution, she supposed.

Xiang Shan took a deep breath and asked Leng Qihua, "Then besides work, what else do you want to do? I'll go with you. If I don't know how, I'm willing to learn."
