The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (18)

In the following days, Jiang Zhe stayed at home, accompanying his parents and his wife.

During this period, Li Ming came several times.

Every time, Jiang Zhe pulled him into the study, no one knew what the two men talked inside. At night, Li Ming would always leave with a heavy face.

Li Cai Wei curiously asked once, but Jiang Zhe only said, Younger Brother Ming was all grown up, had his own ideas, and could think of the future.

Li Cai Wei was dubious, but if asked to say what was wrong, she couldnt tell.

On this Jiang familys side, with Third Master Zheng secretly looking after, no one with eyes would step up to find trouble. The rich and powerful who were ridiculing Jiang Zhes uselessness previously also all shut their mouths.

As for the Jiang estate, Concubine Shu had been angered by them that her mouth developed a bunch of ulcers, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep, and in the end, she decided to wash her hands off the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhe taught his wife english every day, occasionally going out to buy some things to please Mother Jiang, leading a happy and comfortable life.

Father Jiang couldn't help but fall into self-doubt sometimes. Was the son he discussed current issues with back then only something he imagined?

Father Jiang's worries, Jiang Zhe didnt understand.

He asked Shui Gen to buy him three movie tickets, and Shui Gen was puzzled: "Other than Young Mistress, who else does Eldest Young Master want to go to the movies with?"

Jiang Zhe squinted at him. Shui Gen gave a forced laugh and changed the way he addressed him.

Jiang Zhe gave him a ticket, then turned to find Li Cai Wei.

Shui Gen was shocked and flattered. "Eldest Young, Big Brother, you dont need to waste this money on me."

Jiang Zhe: "Its nothing, we don't sit together. You wont be disturbing us."

Shui Gen:

He didn't mean that.

When Li Cai Wei received the movie ticket, she was happily surprised.

Li Cai Wei: "Weve been living well as is, why did you suddenly think of watching a movie?"

Jiang Zhe: "When I went out that day, I saw it and thus let Shui Gen buy it."

Jiang Zhe: "Go change to a cheongsam, with high heels. If were late, we wont be able to enter."

Li Cai Wei was immediately taken aback by his strange logic and didnt continue asking, turning around to go change her clothes.

Before going out, Mother Jiang saw them and asked: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Zhe: "Going out for a stroll. Mother, don't wait up for us tonight."

Mother Jiang nodded.

Out of the door, Jiang Zhe called a rickshaw and paid the money, dismissing Shui Gen.

He brought Li Cai Wei on a slow walk down the lively and busy streets. Li Cai Wei saw some scattered shops opened by foreigners, and was very interested.

Li Cai Wei: "En."

Jiang Zhe: "Not willing?"

Li Cai Wei quickly shook her head.

Jiang Zhe laughed helplessly: "You, ah."

He didn't corner her. He raised his hand and hired a rickshaw, heading to the cinema.

Before entering, Jiang Zhe bought some fried melon seeds and water with a serious face.

He rigidly handed it to Li Cai Wei, a little uncomfortable, "Eating while watching movies. Thats what others do."

Li Cai Wei looked around and saw it was true. However, when she thought of the man in front of her being so formal just to buy her a small snack, she couldnt help but want to laugh.

Li Cai Wei smiled: "Alright, the movie is about to begin, let's go in."

There were already many people sitting in the cinema. It was dark inside, so Jiang Zhe carefully protected Li Cai Wei to prevent her from falling.

The movies of this period were all in black and white, and especially blur. Jiang Zhe looked at it for a while and lost interest. On the contrary, Li Cai Wei watched with relish.

At this time, this dynasty had not completely fallen out with the foreigners, so other than Chinese people, there were also a few foreigners in the movie.

When the movie was about to end, the foreigners looked at his beloved lady and reluctantly boarded the ship returning home. The girl waved her hand desperately, and the foreigner couldnt resist his emotions, shouting: "Luo, l love you, l love you, Luo, don't forget me."

The drowsy Jiang Zhe was instantly shocked awake.

Li Cai Wei turned to look at him.

Jiang Zhe looked back innocently. The light was too dim, and Li Cai Wei couldnt accurately distinguish the man's expression.

She whispered: "You lied to me."

Jiang Zhe coughed.

Jiang Zhe: "I was wrong."

Li Cai Wei raised her eyebrows: "Admitting to your wrongs so quickly?"

Jiang Zhe: "En."

Li Cai Wei gave him a tight smile. Turning her head, she stopped looking at him.

Jiang Zhe's face didnt change, but in fact, his heart was slightly chaotic.

After a while, he felt an itch in the palm of his hand and he gently gripped it. It was the cool fingertip of a woman. Jiang Zhe slightly hooked up his lips.

The movie ended and the crowd dispersed. Jiang Zhe helped her up and walked behind her.

Li Cai Wei waited for everyone to leave, before whispering: "I forgive you."

After that, she hopped away. Jiang Zhe followed her and shook his head, laughing silently.
