Chapter 1078 Do You Have Any Wish



"It means serenity. Your name suits you. When I saw you just now, I also felt that you're serenely beautiful. Why are you here alone so late at night? There are no more public buses," Cheng Gu asked.

This was the first time someone had praised her in this manner. However, she also found it weird that this stranger was strolling around here and behaving so abnormally. Generally, only elderly men and women would take walks in this place and only during the day. Most young people did not want to live in this area.

Tan Jing looked at Cheng Gu warily and asked, "What about you? Why are you here alone?"

"I live in the city and I'm here today to visit my parents. I was on my way back to the city when I caught a glimpse of this place. Since the moon is so bright tonight, I got out of the car to take some photos. I never expect to run into you in this way," Cheng Gu said gently.

"Then where's your car? Where did you park?" Tan Jing asked.

Cheng Gu pointed at a white car in the distance and said, "That's my car. If you don't believe me, I can show you my driver's license. It's in the car."

Seeing that Cheng Gu was so calm and collected, Tan Jing did not suspect anything else. After all, he was just a stranger. After this chance meeting today, they might never see each other again. It would not matter to her at all.

"Why are you sitting here alone so late at night? Is there something troubling you?" Cheng Gu probed.

"Me? I didn't manage to catch the last bus, but indeed I haven't been doing too well recently. It's not a big deal. It's just some family issues. Your family probably has your issues too," Tan Jing said sadly.

Cheng Gu lowered his head shyly and said, "I'm not married yet… But it's obvious to me that you're unhappy. There's no light in your eyes."

Not married yet! Tan Jing looked at Cheng Gu in surprise. He was probably only slightly younger than Xia Zhe, so how was he not married yet? Could it be that there was something wrong with him… Or could it be that there was something wrong with his family…

"I thought that you're already married. People your age probably already have kids who are in kindergarten. Don't your parents nag at you to get married?" Tan Jing asked with a smile.

"I haven't met anyone I like yet. My parents are more open-minded and don't ask for too much from me. They just let me be. The two of them should be anxious for me to get married, but they probably just talk about it behind my back and they don't really force me," Cheng Gu said.

"Then you have to treat your future wife well after you get married in the future. Don't let her down. No matter who the girl is, it's not an easy thing for her to marry someone. Don't let her suffer within your family, do you understand?" Tan Jing said solemnly.

"I swear that I will love her fully and give her everything unconditionally. I will never let her down!" Cheng Gu looked into Tan Jing's eyes earnestly and asked, "What about you? Have you been let down?"

Facing such a frank and sincere person, Tan Jing looked away as she did not know how to answer Cheng Gu's question. Whatever Cheng Gu said just now, Xia Wen had also said the same thing to her before.

After they got married, Xia Wen had never done anything to let her down. It had always been her own family who brought her endless trouble. It was only this year when the problem had intensified that Xia Wen quarreled with her.

If not for Qiao Mei's appearance, they would have continued to live their days in a muddled manner. It was only after seeing how Qiao Mei lived her life and how everyone treated Qiao Mei that Tan Jing realized that she was living an abnormal life and that it was not a good situation to be in.

"I can't say for sure, but you're right about one thing. I'm not happy at all right now. I'm very unhappy, as if there's no happiness in my life at all and that I don't have anything to be happy about. I don't even know what I can do to make myself happy. I guess there's nothing," Tan Jing said helplessly.

Cheng Gu looked at Tan Jing sadly. It was a very regretful thing for such a beautiful person to be crushed and destroyed by the triviality in her life.

"Then is there anything you want to do, elder sister? I can consider helping you fulfill your wish," Cheng Gu said.
