Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 906: Still Half a Year

"Hello, I’m Jiang Xue!" Jiang Xue introduced herself again with emphasis, momentarily surprising An Ru, who quickly regained composure and extended a hand to Jiang Xue, saying, "Hello, I’m An Ru."

With these words, the two women exchanged a smile. Mu Qiancheng watched from the side, his gaze flickering, deciding to secretly investigate An Ru.

He was concerned that An Ru might have ulterior motives towards Jiang Xue and feared she might do something detrimental to Jiang Xue. Naturally, he wouldn’t tell Jiang Xue about this; a secret investigation would suffice.

Perhaps Mu Qiancheng’s gaze was too intense, making An Ru uncomfortable, so she smiled and asked Jiang Xue, "Jiang Xue, who is this?"

"He is my husband, Mu Qiancheng!"

"So it’s Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu, hello!"

"Hello!"

After exchanging greetings, An Ru looked at the people coming and going nearby and suggested, "Jiang Xue, why don’t we find a place to sit for a while?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue smiled as she declined, saying, "Sister Ru, sorry, I still need to buy some things. Let’s meet up another day."

"Since that’s the case, I won’t hold you up. Could I have your contact information for future communication?"

Jiang Xue glanced at An Ru and then said, "I’m currently studying at Nan University; you can come to school to find me in the future."

After saying that, she told An Ru her class information and left with Mu Qiancheng. An Ru watched Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng leave, only retrieving her gaze after a long while, no longer interested in shopping, and directly drove home.

Upon returning home, not a single person was there; Jiang Rui hadn’t returned yet. Her joy had no one to share with.

Involuntarily, she thought of Jiang Xue again, then of her own child who missed her, with pain and resentment filling her eyes.

She hated the Jiang Family, hated their heartlessness and lack of empathy. Otherwise, how could her children have been miscarried one after another? To the point that she was now almost forty without any descendants.

Over the years, as long as Jiang Rui was not home, she was always alone like this: eating alone, shopping alone, without even a person to talk to.

This loneliness nearly drove her insane, causing her to suffer from depression at a young age. Today, with a rare good mood, she decided to go shopping, not expecting to run into Jiang Xue.

Thinking of Jiang Xue, An Ru couldn’t help but smile. Even though it was her first meeting with Jiang Xue, she genuinely liked her. She even mused how wonderful it would be if Jiang Xue were her daughter.

No, she couldn’t keep thinking like this, or she’d become obsessed again. She needed to approach Jiang Xue gradually, believing that one day, Jiang Xue would accept her. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

With these thoughts, An Ru’s mood improved again, and she hummed a tune as she went to prepare lunch. Rarely, Jiang Rui, worried about his wife, made time to come home at noon to check on her, and found his wife personally cooking and even humming a song.

This surprised him, and instinctively moved towards the kitchen, curious about why his wife’s mood was so good today.

"Ah Ru!" Jiang Rui stood at the kitchen door, looking at his wife with a broad smile, feeling somewhat disoriented. How long had it been since he last saw his wife smile? A month, two months, or half a year?

Since his wife developed depression, he had never seen her smile again. He had tried countless methods to lift her spirits, hoping to see her smile again, but the results were minimal.
