Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 135: Encouraging Progress
"I heard you're going back in the next couple of days?" Now that the Jiang family is gone, he'll also go back to town to spend the New Year there.

But for some reason, he didn't say it, and the words he did say changed.

"Yes." Bai Jing was happy that he came to see her, but thinking that she had personally sent his father to prison, she wondered if he would hate her.

"Jiang Chen, will you hate me?" If he hates her, she will not regret it, but their relationship may need to be reconsidered.

Hearing her words, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "I don't hate her, and I won't hate her."

Hatred? How could he? He should thank her; if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been able to escape that quagmire.

"Why?" Bai Jing asked, puzzled.

Seeing her curiosity, Jiang Chen smiled and patiently explained to her.

As Bai Jing listened, she began to sense that something was amiss.

This development is completely different from her previous life.

Although the two of them didn't have a deep understanding of each other in their previous life, they still knew each other to some extent. But how could his background be so exaggerated?
“No,” Bai Jing interrupted him. “So, Jiang Huaifang isn’t your biological father.”

She felt a little sorry for Jiang Huaifang.

None of the children she raised were her own. If she remembered correctly, the son that woman gave birth to wasn't his either.

What about all that scheming of his life?

In the end, it all came to nothing?
Jiang Chen understood her thoughts and smiled, saying, "Yes."

He also felt a little sorry for Jiang Huaifang.

Sadly, they could never see each other again.

Although some things had nothing to do with him, a lot of things were leaked from his mouth. If he doesn't die, who will?

This time, Bai Jing couldn't hide the pity in her eyes.

"He's really pitiful."

Jiang Chen smiled but didn't reply.

"In that case, his affairs are none of your business anymore, right?" Bai Jing suddenly thought of something and looked at him excitedly.

"Hmm, it has little to do with me."

Seeing her so worried about him, Jiang Chen's lips curled up, as if he had eaten a happy fruit.

"That's good, that's good." Bai Jing was clearly happy.

She had taken a liking to him, so naturally she hoped he was doing well.

I don't want to ruin his future because of myself.

What Bai Jing didn't know was that some people were also shaken by her actions, who might have previously thought that they would just accept their fate for the rest of their lives.

But when he met the right person at the right time, his thinking changed.

And so, Jiang Chen's attitude changed. Not only that, he wanted a more definite answer, which is probably what someone who is not loved most desires.

"Jiang Chen, I like you. Would you like to date me?" Bai Jing had given him the thrill of both her past and present lives, and she wanted to have a good ending in this life as well, so she wanted to try one more time.

After all, she had said back then that it was best not to see him again, and if they did, she would definitely not let him go.

Unexpectedly, their reunion would be like this, which made her feel somewhat apologetic and insecure. However, since he had come to her, she naturally did not want to miss the opportunity.

Jiang Chen couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, but he had been aloof for so long that he had forgotten how to respond to someone else's affections.

He wanted to tell her loudly that he was willing and able.

But his mouth was as if it were glued shut, and he couldn't utter a single word.

When he didn't answer her for a long time, Bai Jing wasn't discouraged. She took two steps forward and left a light kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, no one saw what they were doing, otherwise they would definitely have thought they were being indecent.

"Jiang Chen, I'll give you time to think it over. I'll write to you. I'm seventeen this year. If you still can't accept me before I turn twenty, then I'll give up." After saying that, Bai Jing didn't give him a chance to reply and turned to run away.

Three years was for him, and also for herself. Of course, she was also confident that it wouldn't take that long to win him over.

Jiang Chen is cold on the outside but warm on the inside; otherwise, he wouldn't have saved her in his past life.

Watching her retreating figure, a glimmer of starlight flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

It grew brighter and brighter, and the smile on his lips deepened and became more and more pronounced.

"Bai Jing," he murmured her name, then gently touched the spot where she had kissed him.

He couldn't tear his gaze away until her figure disappeared into the guesthouse.

After standing there for a long, long time, Jiang Chen slowly moved his legs, which had long since gone numb.

Then they walked back laughing.

Bai Jing's face was also flushed when she returned to the guesthouse.

It's clear that no matter how bold she appears, she's still shy inside.

She gently covered her mouth, her heart churning with turmoil.

They say it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and she refused to believe that he wouldn't be moved at all by her initiative.

At this moment, Bai Jing no longer seemed like someone who had been reborn; she was clearly just a young girl in love.

Xiao Jin couldn't stand it anymore. [Host, stop gushing over your crush! Your system space is about to overflow again. Do you want to expand it further?]

This host is mentally ill; I really don't know if her little heart will explode.

Startled by Xiao Jin's mental shout, Bai Jing snapped out of her daze. "Why is Xiao Jin shouting so loudly? It scared me to death." Xiao Jin really needs a good scolding.

[Host, your system space is about to burst. Do you want to expand it?] Xiao Jin rolled its eyes invisibly in the system space and spoke in a resentful tone.

Bai Jing naturally heard clearly, "No need, just help me sort out the items. Except for complete sets or high-value antiques, exchange the rest for system funds. As for gold, exchange half of it."

She has far too much gold; she might as well make some money to spend.

Her expenses are quite high now.

"Xiao Jin, don't try anything like embezzlement, or I'll audit the accounts."

Every item redeemed through the system can be viewed, but there are too many to bother with in detail.

[Host, you can doubt your character, but you cannot doubt the system's character.] Xiao Jin was very angry, and as a result of Xiao Jin's anger, a series of announcements rang in Bai Jing's ears.

Bai Jing had a headache from listening to this.

The dog system is quite vengeful.

As the system announced its message, Bai Jing slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

When she woke up the next day, she could still hear the system's announcements, which showed that Xiao Jin had set the announcement speed to the lowest possible level.

It's been a whole night and they still haven't finished exchanging the money. Bai Jingzhen is truly impressed with herself for being able to sleep soundly in such an environment.

"That's enough, hurry up, Team Leader Lin and the others will be here soon." Little Gold, I'm really impressed with it.

[Hmph. This is just so the host can hear me clearly, lest they later think this system stole your good stuff.]

damn thing.

"I was wrong. How could my dear system possibly be interested in such a small thing as mine? What kind of treasures hasn't the respected Little Jin seen? Why would he care about such a piece of junk?"

I have to coax her, I absolutely have to coax her.

She didn't want to be bombed.

"Little Jin, my dear Little Jin, please let me go."

[Hmph, if this happens again, I won't serve you anymore; you'll be left to guard the AI.]
