Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239: My Lucky Little Wife
As Jiang Jingheng sat down to continue playing chess with Jiang Wenhao, Liu Xiangqing looked at Mu Yan with a teasing smile, "Jing Heng really can’t stay away from you for a moment. He’s playing chess with his brother, yet his eyes are glued to you. Tsk tsk."
Mu Yan felt a bit embarrassed and a bit shy, and couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Jingheng. He still wore a calm and light-hearted expression, as if Liu Xiangqing’s teasing wasn’t directed at him.
She felt that her mental resilience was far inferior to his.
This game quickly came to an end, with Jiang Jingheng winning over Jiang Wenhao with an overwhelming advantage. Liu Xiangqing sighed, "Mu Yan is practically a good luck charm. As soon as she arrives, Jing Heng wins. No wonder he’s been eagerly looking forward to your arrival."
Mu Yan, "..."
Is this never going to end?
Jiang Jingheng calmly said, "Even if she is jealous, my sister-in-law has no choice. She is my personal good luck charm."
Liu Xiangqing and the others were speechless; they hadn’t even eaten dinner yet but were already force-fed dog food. It was a bit uncomfortable!
Before long, dinner was ready. Tonight’s focus was Jiang Wenhao, and everything catered to his preferences.
Normally, a birthday is a day to be joyful, but the atmosphere in the restaurant was unusually downcast.
However, both Jiang Wenhao and Liu Xiangqing wore expressions of happiness because it was their first birthday after getting married.
Yes, they have already registered their marriage; it’s just the wedding that is pending.
After dinner, considering Jiang Wenhao’s health, Liu Xiangqing accompanied him upstairs.
The rest of them chatted with the elderly gentleman for a while, and after he left, they also dispersed.
Jiang Jingheng and Mu Yan, as usual, did not stay overnight at the Jiang Family’s house. However, before they left, Jiang Zhenghong suddenly came downstairs and asked about Yin Manqing.
"Has she contacted you lately?"
Jiang Zhenghong, now in his fifties, perhaps due to his earlier military service, looked handsome and seemed just over forty. Yet, at this moment, his gaze carried much fatigue and world-weariness, indicating that life hadn’t been easy lately.
Jiang Jingheng replied indifferently, "Do you think she would contact me?"
Jiang Zhenghong considered the strained relationship between mother and son, his heart momentarily tight, eyes showing a complex expression.
"Take care on the road," he advised, turning to go upstairs.
Mu Yan watched his departing silhouette, frowning slightly. He didn’t quite understand the relationship between him and Yin Manqing. If you truly love a woman, why would you never give her a status, letting her endure the disdain of others? But if he didn’t love her, then why would he still act this way?
Perhaps one realizes what’s precious only after losing it?
"Let’s go," Jiang Jingheng took her hand, saying gently.
"Mm." Mu Yan looked at him, nodded, and the two walked outside together.
On the way, Jiang Jingheng noticed Mu Yan frequently looking at him, kissed her hand near his lips, and asked, "Why do you keep staring at me?"
She asked, "I’ve never made our relationship public. Do you ever feel uncomfortable?"
Jiang Jingheng glanced at her, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"
"Of course, the truth."
Jiang Jingheng calmly said, "Uncomfortable is an overstatement, but it does feel lacking in confidence. Occasionally, I do feel uneasy. However, as long as you don’t intend to leave me, it’s fine."
He spoke calmly, as if talking about someone else’s affairs.
But the more he spoke like this, the more Mu Yan felt a pang in her heart.
"I’m sorry."
He looked at her, his light brown eyes seemingly filled with starlight, extremely dazzling, "Silly, you haven’t let me down. You being with me is already my fortune."
Just then, at a red light, the car stopped, and Mu Yan suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him.
"Let’s find a chance to go public."
Jiang Jingheng wrapped his arm around her, a slight smile on his lips, "Okay."
