Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038: Pressuring to Marry (9)

Jiaojiao thought for a mont, then excitedly followed along.

After knocking on the door, she twisted the handle and walked in. Shu Wen was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

Jiaojiao climbed up and laid down beside her, mimicking her posture.

Putting on a little serious look as if ready for a heart-to-heart: “Auntie, do you still like Uncle Jiang Bin?”

“Little Jiaojiao, how old are you, already talking about liking or not liking? Don’t you feel embarrassed?” Shu Wen turned toward her after hearing this, pinching her small cheek.

Jiaojiao made a muffled sound but didn’t brush away her hand, letting her continue to pinch while she kept asking, “Auntie, are you worried about Uncle Jiang Bin’s two sisters?”

This ti Shu Wen genuinely laughed, pulling her in close and tapping her tiny nose: “Well then, Jiaojiao, first tell Auntie—do you have soone you like?”

“Sure!” Jiaojiao nodded, dramatically counting on her fingers: “I like Mom and Dad, Granny, my brothers, Brother Xu, Grandpa, Uncle, Auntie, Godmother…”

“Hahaha…” Shu Wen chuckled, pinching Jiaojiao’s little face again and said, “Jiaojiao, my silly girl.”

After that, she turned back to her original position, lying down to look at the ceiling. Perhaps thinking Jiaojiao was too young to understand, she sighed deeply and said, “The issues between your Uncle Jiang Bin and … they’re more than just that.”

Two people being together isn’t just about the two individuals; it’s about two families.

I wouldn’t abandon my principles for him, and similarly, I can’t make him sacrifice his for . Two such people, even if there is love, can’t last for long.

Rather than dragging it out, it’s better to cut it off early.

Shu Wen was soone who could see things clearly. She turned her head to pat Jiaojiao’s little head and said, “Jiaojiao, when you grow up and have soone you love, you’ll understand.”

As she said this, she suddenly thought of the little boy who often followed her niece around and chuckled at herself.

She thought that perhaps Jiaojiao would never truly understand. After all, how many people in this world could be as fortunate as she had been?

Seeing Shu Wen looking a little sad, Jiaojiao didn’t quite understand. She could only reach out and hug her, hoping to give her so comfort.

Later, when Jiaojiao left Shu Wen’s room, she saw Shu Wen’s grandfather standing guard outside the door. Like a thief, he was peeking into the room, craning his neck. As soon as Jiaojiao opened the door, he guiltily stepped back.

Feigning an air of casualness, he sneaked a glance into the room where Shu Wen had already fallen asleep and quietly asked Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, did your Auntie say she’s dating soone?”

“No, Auntie seed a little sad, and now she’s asleep,” Jiaojiao said innocently, deliberately shielding Shu Wen: “Grandpa, Auntie’s heart might be hurt. Please don’t push her, alright?”

Upon hearing this, Shu Wen’s grandfather furrowed his brow, pursed his lips, and snorted, “Who… who’s forcing her? I couldn’t care less!” With that, he leaned on his cane and shuffled away with small steps.

Standing behind him, Jiaojiao let out a soft laugh. Beside her, Shu Lang suddenly appeared and waved to her. Jiaojiao walked over to him, and Shu Lang asked her, “Jiaojiao, is Uncle good to you?”
