Chiang Qing did not know how long she had been crouching in the rain, until a pair of military boots appeared in front of her, along with an umbrella over her head.
"Chiang... Doctor?"
Chiang Qing looked up, took off her sunglasses, and upon seeing the person in front of her, frowned slightly, but stood up.
"It really is you? Why are you crouching here?" Dong Jun reached out to help her up, speaking with a tone of pleasant surprise.
Just a mont ago he thought he had seen wrong, but it was truly her, The Proud Daughter of Heaven, Commander Chiang’s daughter.
He thought he would never see her again in this lifeti, yet here she was again after all these years.
Dong Jun’s eyes beca enthusiastic once more, while Chiang Qing’s eyes flickered upon seeing that look.
...
Qi Taiguo held Cheng Su close as they walked ho, suddenly turning to look around.
"What’s wrong?" Cheng Su looked at him with a face full of curiosity.
"It’s nothing." Qi Taiguo’s sharp gaze scanned around but saw nothing unusual, so he continued walking with her, chastising: "It’s raining, why did you co to pick up? It’s still quite cold."
"Hehe, normally you’re the one picking up, let pick you up this ti. I saw it raining and thought you wouldn’t bring an umbrella, so I ca to get you!" Cheng Su said with a smile.
Qi Taiguo felt warm in his heart and couldn’t help but give in, moving the umbrella more towards her, not minding that half of his own body was getting wet.
Cheng Su chattered on about the restaurant’s growing business, then ntioned the Jam Company having conducted a charity event that made it into the newspaper, which opened up their reputation.
Qi Taiguo listened quietly and casually said: "Charity events are always positive and uplifting with good energy. This ti you delivered to the five-guarantee households, next ti, you could consider delivering to hos for the aged or orphanages; I bet the children would love these things!"
"Yes, back when I was at the orphanage..." Cheng Su accidentally blurted out, then abruptly stopped.
"What’s wrong?" Qi Taiguo noticed her face change and she stood there, not moving.
"This year, is it 1987?" Cheng Su tightly gripped his hand, trembling slightly.
"Yes, what’s up?" Qi Taiguo saw her face not only looking worse but also holding a trembling voice and hand, furrowing his brows he asked: "What’s happened to you all of a sudden?"
Cheng Su took a deep breath, slightly curling the corner of her lips, and said: "Nothing, let’s go ho!"
She had forgotten, almost forgotten, that in April of 1987 in her past life, she had been abandoned at the doorstep of Guangcheng Orphanage, and later grew up with support from others. So who abandoned her, and why did they not want her?
In her previous life, she couldn’t find the answer. In this life, she wanted to search for the answer herself. She wanted to know why they didn’t want her.
But if she truly found herself, then who was she now?
Cheng Su’s expression changed again and again. If she found the abandoned self, would she still grow up, would she still be that sa self?
So who am I now?
Back ho, Cheng Su was still imrsed in her thoughts, her mind in a chaotic ss, unable to untangle the lines, the more she struggled, the tighter they seed to wrap.
Qi Taiguo noticed sothing off with her, her face pale and sowhat panicked, his eyes couldn’t help but reveal worry as he placed a cup of hot water into her palm.
Cheng Su was brought back to her senses by the warmth in her palm. Seeing his worried expression, she wanted to smile.
"If you don’t feel like smiling then don’t." Qi Taiguo held her shoulders and asked: "Susu, what happened? We are husband and wife, speak out, and let’s solve it together, okay?"
