Chapter 33.2

Lu Jiayings call was about Su Yans dinner tomorrow. Originally, Lus parents had no such thoughts, but when the family was dining, Lu Jiaying casually mentioned that Su Yan was the sister-in-law of her classmate, Jiang Jingjing. Her parents cared about her daughter and were worried that she would be deceived, so Lu Yang had to explain that Su Yan was Jiang Jingchuans wife, the subtext being that She wouldnt bother deceiving you.

But it wouldve been better had Lu Yang not spoken. Once he did, the familys imaginations started running wild. Everyone knew that his current situation was not too good, and he needed whatever help he could get. Hence, Lu Jiayings father and mother, with the intention of helping their nephew, urged their daughter to call Su Yan and invite her to dinner.

Su Yan maintained the smile on her face after hearing the invitation. She softly said, Jiaying, sorry, I havent had time recently. Im at the airport with my husband now. Ill contact you after I get back.

Jiang Jingchuan felt relieved both physically and mentally when Su Yan called him my husband.

Lu Jiaying was still a little girl herself, so she didnt feel disappointed. On the contrary, she followed up enthusiastically, Where are you going? She liked Su Yan very much and was happy to chat with her.

I dont know myself either. My husband just said that its an island. This was Su Yans mindfulness. When Jiang Jingchuan was present, she must mention him more. As such, he would feel that she cared about him. Otherwise, what was the point of always talking about him behind his back?

Thats so great! I want to go out too, but I dont have any time. By the way, Sister Su, Ive found a part-time job. I give dancing lessons to children. The salary is not bad either. I will treat you when I get my first paycheck! Lu Jiaying was so focused on chatting with Su Yan that she did not even notice her cousins glum expression.

Although Su Yan was amused by the little girl, she felt vaguely lost in her heart.

She had some lingering regrets in her heart. How great would it be if she were born in this peaceful era? Here, everyone was equal. She might even have a warm family, like Lu Jiaying.

Frankly speaking, Su Yan also envied todays women for their self-reliance and working hard for the life they wanted. Still, she couldnt live such a life anymore. Envying them was one thing, but certain concepts had been deeply rooted in her bones. Like when she was in the harem, she had a good relationship with a girl. One day, the girl blushed and told her that she really liked the scholar in a book. This was probably the most private conversation between friends.

In the end, the girl married the son of a general. Her life was not very happy, but it was not bad either. When they met again, the little girl who used to say that she liked scholars had long since disappeared.

Su Yan knew in her heart that she would become an excellent wife and would be in marital harmony with Jiang Jingchuan. But if she were to go out to work, like the women here, she would be the worst employee ever.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yan lowered her head, her mind filled with unknown thoughts. Jiang Jingchuan took her hand and asked, Are you feeling sorry for missing the dinner?

Lu Yangs sister must have called for dinner. Jiang Jingchuan could guess this much.

Su Yan slowly shook her head. No, eh, its nothing.

Dont say it if you dont want to, but well be boarding the plane soon. Dont think about those unhappy things anymore. Since she wasnt ready to share her thoughts with him, Jiang Jingchuan didnt force her. Everyone had secrets they didnt want to tell.

Looking at Jiang Jingchuans face, Su Yan felt that he was without any defects. Anyway, it didnt matter that much. If she didnt want to work, she wouldnt, and that would be the end of it. She would just enjoy a peaceful life.

After Lu Jiaying hung up the phone, she noticed her cousin on the side. She stuck her tongue out and whispered, Brother, Sister Su said that she is not free. She and her husband are now at the airport and are going on a vacation.

Lu Yang had also guessed as such. Although he felt a little disappointed, he didnt show it on his face. He got up, buttoned the cuffs of his suit, lowered his head, and said, I understand. Then wait for her to come back and talk about the dinner, will you? Im going to work, so Ill take you there.

Yay! Brother, youre so kind!
