The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 289: Wedding Invitation
This phone call lasted a long time again, Wang Miaomiao listened to her speak, then gave her some suggestions and advice, whether she would listen to them was up to her.
Actually, Wang Miaomiao felt that Wang Pandi could totally make her own decisions, there was no need to tell her everything and ask for her opinion, she had already told her what she could say more than ten times.
Perhaps it’s because she is unsure, Wang Miaomiao thought that if she went home this time, she must visit her store and highly praise her abilities to boost her confidence.
In the evening, Jiang Yan returned home, and Wang Miaomiao also asked him about his plans for October 1st.
"Miao Miao, I’m sorry, I might not have any time off, I can’t accompany you back home again this time." Jiang Yan was also a bit regretful, but this time it’s the first National Day after ten years, and the national leaders attached great importance to it.
As a grassroots cadre, to be honest, he was quite looking forward to it.
"It’s okay, if there’s no time, then don’t go back." Wang Miaomiao wasn’t really disappointed, she stated flatly, "The two kids are still young, I’m also afraid of not taking good care of them on the road, it’s fine to wait until they’re older."
"Thank you." Jiang Yan felt a bit guilty, places have their own demands, some things can’t be shirked, he had to do them himself. Balancing family and career was difficult, he felt somewhat let down. He wanted to accompany her, to let her live a carefree life, only to realize that he still wasn’t strong enough.
"Thank you for what, you’re just being silly." Wang Miaomiao imitated him, patted his head, and comforted him.
Jiang Yan froze with a handsome face, looking at her with some helplessness and affection as she acted mischievously.
There is a kind of indulgence, it is Jiang Yan facing Wang Miaomiao...
Wang Miaomiao had heard before that touching a man’s head was not advisable. She couldn’t help but defy this today, wanting to test his tolerance towards her.
Apparently, the result was quite positive, the man, though stiff for a moment, ultimately let her play with his hair obediently.
Wang Miaomiao felt as sweet as if honey had been poured into her heart, her eyes sparkled with fine light, and she lazily nestled in the rocking chair humming a happy tune, watching the clear moonlit sky and the splendid star river, her mood was great.
When Jiang Yan came out after showering, what he saw was this beautiful scene.
The autumn breeze was gentle, and there was already a bit of chill in the night.
Wang Miaomiao looked at his dripping wet head, feeling a bit exasperated, "Can’t you just dry your hair a bit before coming out?"
Her words, though complaining, had no harm in them, she didn’t even finish speaking before she got up, ran back into the house, and brought out a big towel, "Come over here."
Jiang Yan obediently sat on a small stool, and Wang Miaomiao circled behind him, starting to carefully dry his hair.
"Done." Wang Miaomiao tossed the big towel onto the back of the neighboring chair, intending to recline back in the rocking chair and continue watching the sky.
A pair of large hands reached from behind, embracing her waist.
"It’s getting late, we should go to sleep."
The man’s warm chest transmitted his pounding heartbeat, resonating and dancing together with hers.
By her ear was his deep voice and warm breath, rushing to her brain, making her dizzy for a moment, her body went soft and half nestled into his arms.
Jiang Yan chuckled lowly, bent his arm, and easily lifted her in a princess carry, "The moonlight is so full, on such a fine evening, we shouldn’t waste it..."
"What do you want to do..." Wang Miaomiao shyly nestled into his chest, her hands naturally wrapped around his neck.
"What do you think..." Jiang Yan chuckled, taking a few big steps and returned to the room.
A cloud drifted across the sky unnoticed, the moon quietly hid its face, seemingly too shy to openly witness this earthly moment of bliss...
They say a woman is like a flower, needing to be watered often to bloom beautifully.
Wang Miaomiao was just like that delicate flower now, glowing with beauty.
Zheng Pingping watched her increasingly graceful sister-in-law, feeling a bitter twinge inside.
The same women, yet some people’s lives are so good it’s hard to catch up, envy fills her already withered heart, causing a tear to unconsciously slip from the corner of her eye.
She composed herself and handed over an invitation, "Sister-in-law, on the third of next month, I’m getting married, the second floor of the Dragon Court Hotel, please come with your family."
"So sudden?" Wang Miaomiao was a bit surprised, she thought she wouldn’t find someone to marry on the mainland.
The last time she sought help, she didn’t provide any substantial assistance, later she often came with Zheng Zhen, but never discussed this topic again.
"No, not sudden, it’s been in the works for two months. Out of all those people, this was the best I could choose." Zheng Pingping laughed at herself, she ultimately couldn’t escape fate, seemingly she had given up struggling.
"What happened? You..." Wang Miaomiao hearing her tone, felt very uneasy. Had she lost hope in life? Such decadence was not a good thing.
"I... this is just how it is, it’s quite good, listening to the family, I won’t have to worry about food and clothing, it’s nice."
Wang Miaomiao frowned, speechless for a moment.
She didn’t know if she should advise her, or how to do so?
Everyone’s experiences are different, the advice we supposedly give, actually cannot empathize fully, so such advice is simply superficial, without any real meaning.
"Sister-in-law and brother-in-law, please bring Zi Han and Zi Hui early when the time comes, I still have to deliver invitations to a few other families, I’ll be leaving now..." Zheng Pingping smiled slightly, yet her eyes were dull, lacking any joy, as if she wasn’t the main focus of this wedding, she seemed insignificant. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Wang Miaomiao squeezed the invitation in her hand, "Okay, we will definitely be there on time."
Now she didn’t know how to help her anymore, watching her desolate departing figure, recalling the first time she met her...
The river of time had unknowingly submerged much youthful fearlessness, leaving behind a scene of desolation.
After Jiang Yan returned, Wang Miaomiao showed him the invitation and told him about Zheng Pingping’s odd demeanor.
He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I’ll ask around..."
When he returned after making inquiries, his expression was grim.
"What happened, tell me..." Wang Miaomiao’s heart was in her throat, if it made Jiang Yan frown, it surely wasn’t good.
"She’s marrying an older divorced man whose daughter is already eighteen. Sigh..." Jiang Yan sighed, "My uncle was never good, we were lucky to shake him off back then, yet he still claims to be related to the Jiang Family for connections.."
"What now? Just let Ping Ping marry like this?" Wang Miaomiao hadn’t expected the person she ultimately chose would be in such poor circumstances.
Besides, she couldn’t understand why she hadn’t left, why not return to Hong Kong... Her family are all there, surely someone would stand up for her...
Actually, Zheng Pingping had tried to escape, but unfortunately, she was stopped halfway by her elder brother Zheng Long. After that, Zheng Long said a lot to her, and Zheng Pingping never managed to leave...
