Chapter 358: Chapter 357: (1 more update)

This jade finger ring indeed had a connection to Xu Wentian’s wife, with whom he had lost contact,

during the wait, Xu Wentian gazed at the jade finger ring and fell into memories.

Teardrops could blur his vision, but they couldn’t blur his memories; he still vividly remembered the scene when he first gave her this jade finger ring.

It was on an autumn harvester’s evening, that foolish woman was forcing him to marry her.

She stormed in like a local tyrant.

Afterward, she asked him seriously, "Xu Wentian, do you really want to marry me or not? Now I’m giving you two choices, either I marry you, or you marry me, there are no other options, you can only choose one of these."

If Xu Wentian hadn’t already developed feelings for her, how could he possibly let her do as she pleased?

No matter how fierce she was, she was still a woman, and Xu Wentian was not so weak as to succumb to that, not to mention he wasn’t weak at all.

Upon hearing her domineering words, he had actually laughed at the time.

He asked her, "What if I don’t choose either option?"

Xu Wentian remembered that when he asked this question, the woman fell silent for a long time.

At the time, Xu Wentian thought he had hurt her feelings and was silently blaming himself.

Just as he was about to comfort her, he saw her suddenly lift her head, her eyes shining as they stared at him.

She said something even more tyrannical, "It’s okay, if you don’t choose either, I’ll be the one to choose. Okay, I’ve decided to marry you. Just wait for it; you don’t need to make a choice, and you don’t need to do anything."

That was the first time Xu Wentian heard such an unreasonable response.

But he didn’t find her unreasonable at the time, nor did he think she was overbearing; he just found her endearingly adorable.

She also tried to make her eyes bigger, fiercely telling him, "You better not run away from the wedding, if you do and I catch you, I’ll break your legs."

When Xu Wentian heard this remark, he got a bit angry.

His anger wasn’t because of her unreasonableness, but from the thought that if she liked another man, she might also forcefully take hold of someone else in the same way.

Thinking that, Xu Wentian got angry and said, "If you can, then come and hit me."

His little wife was hot-tempered and uncouth, and he had thought that after saying those words, she would certainly get angry and hit him.

To his surprise, just as he finished his words, she blinked at him a few times, and unexpectedly, out of nowhere, she hugged his neck and started crying loudly.

She exclaimed, "You’d rather have your legs broken than marry me, Xu Wentian, how can you be so cruel."

Hers tears splashed down, the first time Xu Wentian had seen her cry.

In the moment, he panicked and hurried to comfort her, "Don’t cry, alright, I agree, I agree, isn’t that enough?"

As he spoke, Xu Wentian took out the sole valuable jade finger ring from his body and placed it in her hand.

He told her, "Stop crying, this is a jade finger guard passed down from my ancestors, meant only for one’s wife. Now I’m giving it to you, don’t cry, I agree to marry you, marrying you is fine, isn’t it?"

His anxious explanation was met with her bursting into laughter; she quickly dried her tears, took the jade finger ring, put it on her hand, and with a hee-hee-hee laughed as she ran away.

At the door, she threw back at him, "Xu Wentian, you fool, do you think I don’t know you like me? Hmph, if you didn’t like me, I wouldn’t be willing to chase after you. After all, I have a good reputation and lots of young men after me; you got lucky, so just secretly rejoice."

At that time, only an oil lamp illuminated the room, not yet electrified, and she just stood there in the doorway of his room.

Even as the light was dim, the smug smile on her face lit up his heart.

Xu Wentian looked at her brilliant smile, and really couldn’t be mad; even being played, he felt happy.

Back then, he thought, marrying her might not be such a bad choice after all.

Xu Wentian couldn’t remember too many memories from the past, only scattered fragments flashed through his mind.

The words that left the deepest impression were her crisp and bright voice calling his name.

She liked to call him, "Wentian, Wentian..." like a little bird, chirping and chattering.

"Wentian, I’m pregnant, it’s your child!"

The woman told him with her big, sparkling eyes, and in the memory, her hair was no longer in braids but pinned up.

She frankly said, "I want everyone to know I’m Xu Wentian’s wife, that I’m married."

In the hospital, after giving birth to the child, she sat on the bed with a troubled frown.

"Wentian, the baby doesn’t look like you, nor does he look like me... so ugly, let’s just throw him away and make another one."

"Wentian, I’m pregnant again, and it’s still yours," she said cheerfully, hugging his neck from behind.

When Xu Wentian heard this, he shook his head helplessly and reprimanded her, "What do you mean ’still mine’? As if there could be one that isn’t mine, are you starting a rebellion?"

She opened her eyes wide in surprise then and grabbing his ear, she yelled, "Xu Wentian, how dare you say the word ’rebellion’ to me. Who’s rebelling, exactly?"

After giving birth to another child.

She still looked distressed, gazing into the baby’s face, "What do we do, Wentian, the baby still doesn’t look like you, nor like me, so ugly, should we just throw this one away?"
