Chapter 165: Chapter 162 Where Do You Feel Uncomfortable [1300+ Votes]

——————

I don’t know since when, but late at night, snowflakes started to drift down, and outside the window, a series of loud firecrackers suddenly burst forth. Xie Jingchen instinctively covered the ears of the little woman in his arms.

The originally romantic and ambiguous atmosphere turned into a series of actions.

The military’s firecrackers are always plentiful and loud, so they can be clearly heard, even in their residential building located right at the heart of the core area.

"Don’t be scared, wife, it will be over soon." Xie Jingchen burrowed the little woman’s head into his broad chest, as if carefully enveloping her in his own world.

Shanni’s face was still flushed, she just buried it in his chest, too shy to look up, slightly lowering her head as a sign of agreement.

In her ears were the intense sounds of his heartbeat, one after another, surpassing the loud ’crackle and pop’ sounds of fireworks outside, like thunderous drums directly beating upon her heart.

Making Shanni feel like crying... She knew, it was because she was too lonely.

The feeling of having someone by her side, was so wonderful. It caused her to feel frightened, she was truly afraid of guarding the sorrow of being alone in her heart.

Tears unknowingly started to flow, growing more and more... Within just a few minutes, Shanni was sobbing, her face buried in his chest.

At first, Xie Jingchen did not understand what was wrong, as they were just embracing and being intimate beforehand, he thought she had overcome her emotional barriers, but unexpectedly after a pause, the little woman’s tears had drenched his chest shirt!

"What’s wrong, wife? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Xie Jingchen steadied her delicate body, wanting to pull back a bit to see her face better.

But he was only met with Shanni silently shaking her head, then shaking again.

She had already treated him as her close lover, and suddenly realized that the fundamental generational concepts between them made her feel at a loss.

It was also Xie Jingchen’s expression, in Shanni’s view, that to him, she was merely an expression of ’desire’, but not reaching the level of ’deep affection’—Do all men love because of desire?

Shanni, in that moment, deeply doubted love.

If neither spouse feels love, wouldn’t her child have to grow up in a loveless family?

She had been favored by her dad since she was young, and her relationship with her dad was even better than with her mom.

If the child’s dad is not truly sincere to her, his wife, could he truly love the child that he fathered? She had always hoped that this baby would be a lovely little Princess, and then, before the family planning policy came into effect, quickly have a second child.

This way, the age difference between the two children wouldn’t be too large, with the older sister looking after the younger brother—It must be said, after becoming an adult, she particularly wanted a younger brother, and deeply regretted why she had objected to her mom’s idea of having another child back then.

If her mom had really had another child when she was in her teens, the hardships her mom endured wouldn’t have been so severe.

Due to her own family reasons, Shanni’s initial thought was that one child was too lonely, it would be best to have one girl and one boy, making a perfect group, and generally, older sisters tend to be more mature and sensible, hence, ever since she knew she was pregnant, she had been teaching in the direction of a soft, cute little Princess...

What if she ends up having a son? Gosh, can prenatal education really mold one’s temperament? It’s just the quirky interest of a pregnant woman... The baby is in her womb, can’t she just be happy for a while...

You try being pregnant?!

"Wife, what’s upsetting you? Tell me, and I’ll try my best to change," Xie Jingchen, having confirmed that Zhang Shanni’s discomfort was emotional rather than physical, could only gently pat her back while clumsily trying to console her.

They say military men are straightforward and hearty once set on the battlefield, they wouldn’t even frown during a fight, confidently rolling up their sleeves to perform drills. However, when it comes to comforting a woman, nine out of ten would furrow their brows, utterly clueless and headachy.

"..." The little woman didn’t utter a word, just buried her face in his chest, silently weeping.

It was this silence that pained Xie Jingchen even more. Annoyed, he coaxed, "Wife, if you’re unhappy, cry out loud. Keeping it in will only make you feel worse... be good~"

"Sob sob..." Zhang Shanni finally sobbed out loud, instead of silently shedding tears as before.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here," Xie Jingchen said, still not understanding why the little woman had suddenly started crying.

For a man like him, to speak so tenderly was already a rare occurrence!

Seeing that his words could not comfort her, Xie Jingchen had no choice but to hold her like a little Princess, letting her cry all she wanted, hoping she would vent her unhappy emotions and return to normal.

Zhang Shanni cried for almost half an hour, until her voice went hoarse. She then wondered if she was being too emotional today? A small matter was blown out of proportion in her mind, leading to an emotional outburst—

Could this be a pregnancy reaction? Otherwise, she really didn’t know she could be so foolish!

Caught in embarrassment, Zhang Shanni could not face Xie Jingchen and pretended to sleep by his side, just like that.

Xie Jingchen noticed Zhang Shanni’s intention but didn’t expose her; sleeping was better than continuing to cry. Seeing her eyes closed, breath steady against his chest, he was lost in thoughts for a long while.

He always knew, being a Mrs. Rong, the women had a tough life. Thus, he initially chose his wife among the rural village girls.

It’s not that he didn’t love city girls, but he was more rational, knowing what kind of person should lead what kind of life.

City girls were usually self-conscious, delicate, and competitive.

Village girls were generally hardworking, simple, and resilient.

Being called Mrs. Rong meant that a woman would face long periods of managing home alone.

To be strong, endure hardships, withstand loneliness, manage domestic affairs, support a husband, and get along with in-laws—this was too difficult for city girls.

Their perspectives were nurtured from a young age, and few could truly endure the rural in-laws and the long absence of their husbands, unable to comprehend the responsibilities of a military husband, or even maintain the simplest fidelity in marriage.

Xie Jingchen knew that the little wife in his arms, though of a village girl identity, hardworking and plain, had the nature of being kind and compliant, yet possessed the essence and progressive thinking of city girls.

Yet, she played the role of Xie Jingchen’s wife very well, pleasuring his heart immensely.

She did it so well, touching the softest part of his heart, making him want too much, unable to bear letting go.

"Wife, you’re the only one for me," Xie Jingchen brushed the hair off her small face, gazing at her peaceful sleeping face, his chin resting on her forehead, tenderly confessing:

"I’m sorry, my wife. I know I can’t be with you all the time, causing you to worry and fear, and I can’t protect you thoroughly and make life worry-free for you. But as a military man, the basic loyalty and protection for ’home’, I, Xie Jingchen, can swear on my life, I will never betray our marriage."

Zhang Shanni’s originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed...
