Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Young Admiration for Ai 4

Feng Qingxue would have been blind if she hadn’t seen the budding romance between the two youngsters!

But how did Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue come to fancy each other?

What about Li Jun? The Li Jun from the Jiang family’s lifelong friends? Jiang Xiaoyue’s childhood sweetheart? Wasn’t it supposed to be a childhood romance followed by love and a seamless marriage? Bai Xue had even mentioned that the Li Family had secretly ordered the cultural troupe not to let Jiang Xiaoyue perform, thinking it beneath the stature of a Li Family daughter-in-law, although Jiang Xiaoyue and Li Jun hadn’t even confirmed their romantic relationship.

She was sitting and waiting for Li Jun to make a mistake in a year or two, then for the Jiang and Li families to fall out, so she could introduce Jiang Xiaoyue to Lu Tianjun.

It turned out, this couple, who were loving spouses in their previous lives, didn’t need her meddling at all. In just a short period of time, from when they met until now, they had already developed feelings for each other, the how of which remained a mystery.

Though it wasn’t made explicit between them, it was clear to any observant person that Lu Tianjun was interested in Jiang Xiaoyue, and Jiang Xiaoyue had feelings for Lu Tianjun.

When there’s mutual affection and interest, aren’t they a match made in heaven? There was only a thin layer of paper separating the two.

As Lu Tianjun’s aunt, Feng Qingxue saw no reason not to help things along.

So, after packing up the leftover lamb skewers and sending Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue back, Feng Qingxue deliberately had Jiang Xiaoyue sit in the back of the bus, sending Lu Jiang and Lu Tianjun to the front.

"Xiaoyue, my nephew owes a lot to you and your dad for looking after him while he’s been at the Capital’s military region," she began.

After much thought, Feng Qingxue chose this sentence to start the heart-to-heart.

Jiang Xiaoyue blushed and whispered softly, "The military isn’t like other places, where anyone can meddle if they want to. Although my dad holds a high and powerful position, he wouldn’t intervene in matters of the new recruits’ platoon. So, we haven’t really looked after him. It’s just that sometimes, when my dad is free, he would invite Comrade Lu Tianjun over for a meal."

"That’s enough, Xiaoyue. Please thank your dad for us. If we get a chance, we would like to treat him to a meal." Jiang Yun inviting Lu Tianjun to dine with him was a clear indication of his intentions—that while the troops could train as they ought, they shouldn’t think about messing with him.

"No need to thank us," Jiang Xiaoyue said timidly, then looked down and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, "Auntie Snow, may I ask you something?"

"Go ahead, I will hide nothing from you and share everything I know," Feng Qingxue replied.

Jiang Xiaoyue stealthily glanced at Lu Tianjun up front, then whispered, "My dad asked me to inquire whether Comrade Lu Tianjun has a ’revolutionary companion’ or is in a committed relationship that hasn’t yet led to marriage."

Was it truly Jiang Yun who wanted to ask, or was it her own curiosity?

No matter which it was, Feng Qingxue was more than happy to answer, "No, no, Tianjun has always kept himself pure. He didn’t get into any lifetime commitments before joining the forces, and after joining, don’t they have to report up the chain of command? I’m not in your military unit, but your dad is, and he holds such a high position. A casual inquiry would reveal whether there’s been any relationship or marriage reports."

To Feng Qingxue’s surprise, Jiang Xiaoyue responded by punching her left palm with her right fist, her face blossoming into instant joy.

Seeing this, Feng Qingxue had to stifle her laughter.

"Then... what kind of female comrade does Comrade Lu Tianjun admire? Later, let my dad keep an eye out," said Jiang Xiaoyue, still not revealing her own feelings but using her dad as a cover.

Feng Qingxue covered her mouth and laughed, "Well, that, I have to ask Tianjun."

Jiang Xiaoyue bit her lower lip, her eyes darting around as she urged, "Then you better go ask him soon."
