Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: A Frank Meeting 2

Lu Jiang wrapped his arm around her shoulders dismissively, "What’s there to be afraid of? I am of upright spirit, easily warding off ghosts and deities. Besides, the ones appearing before my eyes are still people, so there’s even less reason to be frightened."

Though his words were not sweet nothings, they considerably eased Feng Qingxue’s mind.

At that moment, she didn’t need sweet words, but the plain truth from Lu Jiang.

"Ajiang, I don’t know why I’m here, because I come from a world that’s affluent, free, with advanced information, and a colorful life, and I’ve never believed in ghosts or spirits." Feng Qingxue hesitated before starting off this way.

Lu Jiang said in a deep voice, "If you don’t want to say it, then don’t; to me, you are you, no one else."

"If I don’t say it today, I’ll be even more scared to mention it in the future. I might end up hiding it from you for a lifetime, taking this secret with me to the grave." Feng Qingxue mustered her courage, "Ajiang, do you still remember the bet we made? We bet that in thirty to fifty years, the nation’s economy would soar, and the current scarcity of resources would no longer exist."

Lu Jiang immediately nodded, "I remember. Back then, I wondered, you knew nothing about economics, had no understanding of the nation’s financial situation, and you’ve always lived in the countryside or the army. How could you so confidently claim you would win, when even I couldn’t guarantee our country would develop to the unbelievable extent you described in a few decades."

Feng Qingxue laughed, "Because I am from that era!"

"What did you say?" Lu Jiang’s eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape, and Qingxue could see his tonsils.

Feng Qingxue continued, covering her mouth with a laugh, "This year is 1967, but I was born in 1990. I’m a post-’90s kid who lived carefree until the age of twenty-eight. However, when I woke up, I became Feng Qingxue from 1960, who had been kicked out of the Lu Family and relied on her sister to survive. By that time, she had starved to death, leaving only her body behind, and ’reanimation’ might be the best way to describe my situation."

Lu Jiang held his chin, finally closing his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief.

"The ’90s? Twenty-three years later? Wife, are you telling me you’re fifty-eight years younger than me?" His wife had just been born, yet he was already an old man; could there be anyone more miserable than him in this world?

At a time like this, he was actually focused on the age difference rather than the miraculous event of reanimation!

Feng Qingxue said with a laugh, "In my past life, you’re absolutely right!"

Pausing, she continued, "I call the era I’ve been through in my past life, and in this life, with you, our children, and friends and family, it’s my one life where I find happiness, my only lifetime."

Lu Jiang had a morose look, "Old man, little baby...."

As he mumbled on and on, Feng Qingxue hugged his arm, "Why worry about this matter? We live in the present, right? My physical age may be ten years younger than yours, but my soul is as old as yours."

"Yes! We live in the present!" Lu Jiang’s spirits lifted, his mood becoming cheerful.

Seeing his reaction, Feng Qingxue’s nervous heart settled, unaware of how radiant her smile on her face was, "In my last life, I was just an average girl who hadn’t been through any great trials or performed any grand acts of charity. I never understood why I ended up here, meeting you, knowing you, and staying with you."

"It must be the immense good karma my Lu Family has accumulated!" Lu Jiang declared with certainty, "Didn’t blind man Shan say? Without you, the Lu Family’s glory would be nothing but a legacy without descendants."
