Chapter 965: Chapter 0965: Mutual Affection 2 Chapter 965: Chapter 0965: Mutual Affection 2 Lu Tianjun listened to everything, and after going over the words in his mind sentence by sentence, he finally understood Feng Qingxue’s aning.
“Auntie,” Lu Tianjun slowly coaxed out a smile, a smile of ease and confidence, “Competent people never fear the slander of the outside world, only those without ability would fuss over their wife’s family being of higher status than their own, harboring a grudge! For , the Jiang family is the Jiang family, Xiaoyue is Xiaoyue, there’s no comparison. And the one I admire is Xiaoyue, not the Jiang family.”
Well, having said both “wife” and “admire,” doesn’t that make clear his feelings for Jiang Xiaoyue?
This pair of lovebirds is really amusing, each having affection for the other, yet neither able to discern the other’s feelings, and they have to have her diate in between.
Putting aside the class struggle, another great aspect of this era is that many people don’t care about social status. Offspring of officials and children from ordinary workers and farrs getting married are common occurrences.
Of course, there are still so-called high-ranking official families who despise common folk for their humble origins before they have even cleansed themselves of the mud.
“Tianjun, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease,” Feng Qingxue wanted to pat him and call out well done, but her hand was caught by Lu Jiang and didn’t stretch out. After thinking it over, she stopped beating around the bush, “Tianjun, you have feelings for Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue is interested in you, and it’s causing her a lot of distress. So, what happens next is up to you. You guys should talk amongst yourselves!”
Lu Tianjun was overjoyed, “Auntie, do you an…?” Could it be as he hoped?
“She asked to inquire about what kind of female comrade you admire. I think it’s better for you to answer this personally!”
After Feng Qingxue finished speaking, she quickly walked away with Lu Jiang, leaving so privacy for the young couple.
Slowing their pace, Lu Jiang calculated Lu Tianjun’s age and found out he was not even twenty yet; he couldn’t help but widen his eyes, exclaiming, “When it cos to the age of taking a wife, this kid beat by ten years; how is that possible?”
Feng Qingxue glanced back at Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue standing face to face, then turned her head to give Lu Jiang a sideways look.
“What do you an by that? Are you regretting eting ?”
Lu Jiang quickly ca to his senses, shaking his head imdiately, “Of course not, of course I don’t regret it. I’m extrely grateful to have t you when I was twenty-eight, a thousand, ten thousand tis grateful.”
He raised his other empty hand as if almost ready to swear an oath.
Feng Qingxue chortled, “Look at how frightened you are, I’m not the unreasonable type.”
Lu Jiang wiped his forehead where there was no sweat, “That’s good, that’s good. Qingxue, you’re so wonderful, and also, I’m not the least bit jealous that Lu Tianjun has found a wife at such a young age, not at all.”
Feng Qingxue pinched the palm of his hand making him grimace and beg for rcy.
The sight of such a tall and strong man acting like this made Feng Qingxue laugh, her eyes curving into crescents.
“Tianjun getting married, the happiest person will definitely be Dad; maybe in a few years, he’ll beco a great-grandfather.”
Hearing his wife’s words, Lu Jiang nodded, “How ti flies. If Dad becos a great-grandfather, wouldn’t we be great-uncle and great-aunt? Age spares no one.” He was suddenly filled with emotion.
“Yes, age spares no one.” Seven years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Jiang hastily said, “But, you’re still as beautiful as the first ti I saw you, not a bit has changed. No, that’s wrong, you’ve changed for the better, like a blossoming peony, majestic and elegant, in full grace.”
“Peony? Have you ever even seen a peony flower to compare to one?” Sweet nothings always sound like they’re coated with honey.
“Of course I’ve seen one, yet the beauty of peonies cannot compare to even one ten-thousandth of yours.”
