Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 94: Jiang Yexun’s Trial from Su Hongchen
"Thank you," Su Hongchen sincerely thanked Jiang Yexun, letting go of his guarded demeanor.
Jiang Yexun regretfully said, "I should have arrived earlier. That way, Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have fallen into the river in the first place."
"Accidents happen, and gratitude should not be the foundation of a marriage. Although the slogan says that both boys and girls are equal, the bias toward males is very serious in the countryside. However, our family’s beliefs are entirely different. I don’t want my sister to feel pressured when it comes to having children," Su Hongchen emphasized.
"There won’t be any pressure. None of the children we have will be surnamed Jiang. One can have Xiaoxiao’s surname, and the other can have my mother’s surname. Moreover, my mother loves my sister more than me since I was a child. The bias towards males doesn’t exist in our family. As for my father... whatever thoughts he has, it has nothing to do with me, and he can’t control me," Jiang Yexun said confidently.
Although he couldn’t find any fault with Jiang Yexun’s background, Su Hongchen was still surprised. While he didn’t see a problem with it, he knew that almost everyone would be unable to accept such an arrangement.
"Are you sure you’re not just saying what sounds good and trying to deceive us? If you truly mean what you say, I will make you sign it with a thumbprint," Su Hongchen emphasized again, clearly not willing to let Jiang Yexun off easily.
"Okay," Jiang Yexun agreed readily.
Su Hongchen didn’t know what to say about the young man anymore. He had already decided that he wouldn’t let him off with just words.
"Let’s talk about your and my sister’s relationship later, at the very least after I’ve recovered," Su Hongchen said sternly.
This essentially meant that once he was in better health, he would give Jiang Yexun a thorough beating.
Su Xiaoxiao looked displeased, but Jiang Yexun remained calm and agreed. He had mentally prepared himself for this beating long ago, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to avoid it.
Afterward, Su Hongchen accepted a glass of water from Jiang Yexun and took a sip. He was then placed back onto the bed to lie down.
Su Xiaoxiao received a glass of water too, and she gazed sweetly at that young man.
Her endearing behavior almost drove her brother mad.
Su Hongchen broke the silence by asking, "How long did you take off this time?"
"Only a month. After all, I’ll be here to take care of you. Once you’ve fully recovered, don’t even think about sending me back.” Su Xiaoxiao said, her round, determined eyes staring firmly.
Su Hongchen was slightly amused by his sister’s apparent fear of being persuaded to return. He said, "I have my army comrades and hospital staff looking after me here. You don’t need to come and go so often. Go back to Shanghai for a while, our parents would certainly miss you."
"No need. I’ve already discussed it with Yexun. I took this month off specifically to visit you. During the upcoming winter, when it snows and the roads get blocked, we can’t even get trains in or out there. It’s the perfect time to take an extended break at home for two or three months," Su Xiaoxiao explained.
After she finished speaking, Jiang Yexun put the neatly sliced apple pieces into a lunchbox and handed it to her. She then took a pair of chopsticks and fed Su Hongchen. Her attentive and natural manner made it seem like she had done this countless times before, much to Su Hongchen’s discomfort. He allowed himself to be fed two bites of apple before he glared at Jiang Yexun, obviously unhappy.
"If I hadn’t been injured, were you planning to stay here for a month as well?" Su Hongchen asked.
