624 side story 9: life after marriage
in the past few years, shi yan had been focusing on her studies.
according to her learning progress and efficiency in completing the designated topics, she could graduate by the end of her third year, but she delayed it until the end of the first semester of her fourth year.
it was because she had gotten pregnant by accident when she was almost done with her third year of university.
No matter what, Jiang che wouldn’t allow her to study as hard as she had in the past. Without her previous learning speed, she stayed in school for another half a year.
When she finished her master’s and Ph.D. And received her graduation certificate, she was already seven months pregnant.
previously, su wan had said that she wanted to come over and take care of her, but shi yan and jiang che had not agreed. su wan couldn’t persuade them otherwise, so she could only ask su yunzhi to help look after shi yan whenever she was free. she also often went to haicheng and made some delicious food for shi yan from time to time.
Now that Shi Yan had graduated and was in the late stages of her pregnancy, su Wan refused to allow two inexperienced young people like her and Jiang che to live alone. She brought them to the Shi family.
naturally, jiang che also moved into the shi family’s residence.
shi yan was taken care of very well by the entire shi family, and jiang che had been learning all kinds of related knowledge since she was pregnant.
...
in fact, shi yan was physically fit and had some understanding of medicine. she didn’t think it was a problem for her to get pregnant. everyone was just being too cautious.
another two months passed. shi yan gave birth to her and jiang che’s first child at the capital hospital.
it was a son.
There were many people in her family and Jiang che was around, so Shi Yan basically didn’t have much to do after giving birth to the child. After her confinement, she accepted the invitation to be a visiting professor at Jingdu University.
There weren’t many classes, only one public class A week.
it was similar to su wan.
His son was named Jiang Xu, which was given by Shi Yan, meaning the sun rising from the east.
With such excellent parents, Jiang Xu was much more intelligent than his peers at the age of two. Shi Yan and Jiang che, especially Jiang che, were not closely related to each other and naturally doted on their children. However, he and Shi Yan would not dote on their children without a bottom line.
Under their tutelage, Jiang Xu had the calmness and wisdom of the two young men, as well as the childishness that they didn’t have when they were young.
when jiang xu was three years old, shi yan was pregnant with her second child.
she gave birth to a daughter, named jiang jingshu.
...
It was Jiang Xi’s name.
He thought of Shi Yan when he first met her.
When Jiang jingshu turned one year old, Shi Yan began to take on other jobs, mainly because her teacher, li bingfeng, had an archeology project and needed her assistance.
Li bingfeng believed in Shi Yan’s professionalism and knowledge.
He was gone for three months.
every time she was in confinement, shi yan would move into the shi family’s house, and jiang che would follow. after the confinement period, their family would move back to jiang che’s private manor.
hence, during shi yan’s absence for three months, except for the occasional help from the shi family, jiang che had been taking care of the two children by himself.
of course, jiang che wasn’t stupid enough to take care of the child alone and not let others interfere. he hired all the nanny and nanny he needed.
he just wanted to make sure that his children did not lack the love and care that a father should have when they were young.
as for shi yan, although she was working outside, she would video call jiang che every night. In addition to talking to Jiang che, she also asked him to bring his phone to the two children and talked to them a lot, even though Jiang jingshu was still one-year-old and did not know anything.
After this job, Shi Yan would occasionally take on work, but not very frequently. She would only join one project a year and finish it in two or three months. other than that, she only had to attend one public lecture at the capital university every week.
...
she spent the rest of her time at home with jiang che and the child.
When Jiang jingshu was two years old, news of the death of old Madam Jiang came from the Jiang family.
Since the two of them got married, Jiang Qi and Bai Xue had no contact with them, nor did they approach them. The two of them stayed in the Jiang family’s old house and lived the three years when Jiang che was in the Jiang family in Haicheng, not going out easily.
in fact, shi yan and jiang che both knew that every time shi yan gave birth in the hospital, bai xue would walk around the hospital building with her walking stick.
for a long time after that, white snow would always appear at jiang che’s private manor and the yun family’s gate.
however, he did not ask anyone to call the door even once.
Jiang che went to the funeral with Shi Yan and the two children.
they didn’t stay in the jiang family’s old house for long. after simply paying their respects like ordinary guests, they were ready to leave.
Jiang Yu caught up and said,”Lao Wu, Lao Ai.”
The Jiang Xi of today was no longer as spirited as before.
he leaned on his walking stick with a hunched back.
...
jiang che, who was over thirty years old, was more gentle and reserved than before. his handsome face was still gentle and elegant.
he stopped and nodded slightly.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang che had no intention of disowning his parents. However, he had always addressed them as ” father ” and ” mother.
there was no fluctuation in his tone, calm and distant.
Jiang Qian looked at Jiang che, who was carrying his daughter with one hand, and then at Shi Yan, who was holding Jiang Xu, who looked like a replica of Jiang che when he was young. Jiang Qian’s hand, which was holding the walking stick, trembled slightly.
“Yingluo, y-your mother had already gotten someone to clean up the yard you used to live in a few years ago, and she’s been getting people to clean it on time all these years. Y-you can come back with your wife and child to stay for a few days when you’re free.”
Shi Yan didn’t make a sound. Jiang Xu and the two-year-old Jiang jingshu were also quiet.
the three of them looked at jiang che at the same time.
they had a tacit understanding.
jiang che saw their synchronized actions. he carried his daughter with one hand and held shi yan’s hand with the other. he gently pinched her fingertips, as if to tell her that she was fine.
“no need,” he said to jiang yao calmly.
...
then, he left the jiang family with his wife, son, and daughter.
Jiang Qi was still standing on the spot with his walking stick even after they had disappeared from the main gate of the Jiang family’s residence.
*
When the two children were in primary school, Jiang che took Shi Yan on a world tour. He would occasionally come back to spend time with his children, and sometimes he would go to their villa near Haicheng University to stay.
one day, the two of them returned from their trip and stayed in haicheng.
He planned to stay for two days before returning to the capital.
the summer break was coming.
They traveled all over the world, but they would take the two children out to play every winter and summer vacation.
after knowing that they had returned to haicheng, yu xi came to visit them.
with his wife.
When Shi Yan was pregnant with Jiang Xu, Reina, the eldest miss of the Luo family, finally got married to Yuxi as she wished.
...
the two had given birth to a pair of mixed-blood twins, who were now five years old.
At kindergarten.
therefore, they didn’t bring the child with them.
when the two of them arrived, shi yan and jiang che were watering the plants in the courtyard.
the pot of white-crowned lotus cauldron that jiang che had given to shi yan was still her favorite. she had been keeping it in haicheng and hadn’t brought it to the capital, but she would come back to stay with jiang che a few times a year.
she had left the pot of unkempt lotus cauldron in haicheng, the place where they had first met. every time she came back, she would see it, and it gave her a very different feeling.
seeing the two of them stuck together like glue, reina blinked at yu xi and said in a low voice, ” “miss shi and the fifth lord jiang have been married for so many years. why are they still so clingy? I remember that they’ve been together almost every day since they started dating. Aren’t they tired of each other?”
“Are you tired of being with me every day?” Yu Xi looked at her expressionlessly.
reina,”yingluo.”
“yanyan, we’re here to disturb you again!” she hurriedly waved at shi yan.
it was too obvious to change the topic.
“i won’t disturb you.” Shi Yan smiled faintly.
After giving birth to two children, her figure was still slender, and her appearance had not changed much. However, her temperament was more gentle than before.
“third young master yu, reina, welcome to our house. please come in and let’s talk.”
shi yan led reina into the house, while jiang che and yuxi walked behind.
the two of them mostly talked about work when they met, even though jiang che had been a hands-off manager for many years.
Yu Xi and Reina had dinner there before leaving.
in the evening, shi yan and jiang che stood on the balcony on the second floor and watched the sunset.
under the evening glow, jiang che held shi yan’s hand and the two smiled at each other.
The rest of his life was still long.
