Chapter 48: Warmth

Zhang Jie looked at the small objects that appeared in Li Jingcheng’s room, as well as the fresh flowers placed there, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is the first time I’ve seen Li Jingcheng’s room decorated like this!”

He remembered what his mother had told him: “If Li Jingcheng hadn’t been in a coma, and if Xiao Miaomiao had wanted a child, maybe she wouldn’t have chosen to marry Li Jingcheng at all!”

Thinking about this, Zhang Jie’s approval of his sister-in-law deepened.

After all, Xiao Miaomiao was a daughter of a wealthy family, she didn’t lack money, and she didn’t need to rely on the Li family to improve her status.

Zhang Jie walked to the bedside, opened the music box, and the beautiful music flowed through the air.

He couldn’t help but pick up his phone, record a video of the changes in Li Jingcheng’s room, and then send it to their group chat with his brothers.

Ouyang was the first to reply: “Having a wife is different! Look at my Jingcheng brother’s room, it’s become so warm and cozy now.”

Soon, the brothers in the group chat replied, expressing their agreement and envy. The others followed suit, expressing their blessings and expectations for Li Jingcheng.

However, Zhou Yi seemed a little worried. He asked, “Zhang Jie, why are you still going to see Li Jingcheng so late? Are you going out on a mission again? How long will it be before you come back this time?”

Zhang Jie smiled and replied, “No, I just came back from a mission and I’m on a two-day break. I came to see Jingcheng on my way back from dropping off my sister-in-law, to tell him the news of someone trying to steal his girl.”

This news exploded in their circle.

“Who is so reckless as to dare to steal Jingcheng’s girl? Tell me, I’ll go deal with him.” Ouyang said indignantly.

“It’s not true, is it? Your sister-in-law has been staying at home, not going out much, how could anyone come to steal her?” Zhou Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

“It’s true, Zheng Yan, the big lawyer next to Jiang Chen.” Zhang Jie told them about the dinner gathering at the restaurant today.

“And Zheng Yan actually knew your sister-in-law for a long time.”

“So he’s a homewrecker then, regardless of who came first, Jingcheng and your sister-in-law are legally married, they have a marriage certificate, and he’s a lawyer, he knows how to restrain himself.” Ou Heng thought Zhang Jie was overthinking it.

“Regardless of Zheng Yan’s reason for not telling your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law doesn’t know about his feelings. In the future, unless your sister-in-law really wants a divorce, Zheng Yan wouldn’t dare to pursue her. As long as your sister-in-law doesn’t think about leaving the Li family, Zheng Yan wouldn’t dare to express his feelings.” Ou Heng said seriously.

After hearing Ou Heng’s words, everyone calmed down. They knew Zheng Yan, and they agreed with Ouyang’s words. He was a lawyer himself, how could he do something illegal?

Xiao Miaomiao had no idea that someone was worried about her pursuer.

Before leaving, Zhang Jie held Li Jingcheng’s hand, “We will help you guard against other men approaching your wife.”

Not long after he left, Li Jingcheng’s hand moved.

Li Jingcheng wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn’t. He had known his situation for days now. He had been in a coma for half a year. His grandparents even believed the master’s words and found him a wife, saying she was a lucky star.

Li Jingcheng didn’t know whether to believe it or not. It was just a coincidence that he regained consciousness the day after he consummated his marriage with Xiao Miaomiao.

He also learned about the subsequent events. His wife was actually Jiang Chen’s cousin, Xiao Miaomiao, his arch-rival.

He had been passively acting as Xiao Miaomiao’s sounding board, listening to her amusing stories. He had initially found it boring, but later he actually started to look forward to it.

He listened to the music box she bought him, he thought she bought it because she liked it, because she would fall asleep while listening to it.

It was a good thing it was set to stop, otherwise he felt like he would have to listen to it with her all night.

And her painting, she would tell him about the meaning of the paintings, where she got the inspiration. Even though he couldn’t respond, she was still like a little sun, positive and optimistic. She didn’t have any complaints about him being a vegetable, instead, she praised his face.

And the paintings sold for a thousand yuan each, even though she lost money, she was still so happy, like a silly little girl. Li Jingcheng was even worried that the child she gave birth to would be dragged down by her intelligence.

Li Jingcheng was also surprised that Zhang Jie and the others accepted Xiao Miaomiao so quickly, which showed that she was really excellent. Of course, she just talked a little too much in front of him. He even suspected that she had been saving up all her words to tell him.

Li Jingcheng never had the idea of being alone for life. When he reached a certain age, he would follow the routine, find someone with a similar family background, someone with good character, a good wife and mother, someone who was filial to her parents, get a marriage certificate, get married, have a child to inherit his property. As for love, he never thought about it, he only cared about his career.

He would give her the respect she deserved, but he wouldn’t be able to be as loving as his parents.

But he didn’t expect to marry Jiang Chen’s little chatterbox. Jiang Chen came to see him once, and he remembered what he said.

When she was three years old, she had indeed saved him once. At that time, she was still a chubby little girl, and he saved her from falling out of a tree. His hand was broken in the process.

He had to endure her nagging all the way to find Jiang Chen, and he was almost mistaken by Jiang Chen for kidnapping her.

He never imagined that his wife would be related to the Jiang family, and even more so, the spoiled brat of the Jiang family.

Li Jingcheng’s initial helplessness had turned into a sense of relief about his little wife. It would be even better if she could stop nagging him about having a son to inherit his property soon, and also stop praying for him to stay in a coma forever.

But now, Li Jingcheng was a little worried when he heard about Zheng Yan liking Xiao Miaomiao. After all, Zheng Yan was a truly capable person, he had achieved his current position through his own efforts, he was a truly talented person, not a fool like Hong Wenbin who relied on his family.

The only thing he was grateful for was that Xiao Miaomiao hadn’t noticed Zheng Yan’s feelings, and Xiao Miaomiao didn’t really have any feelings for Zheng Yan.

Li Jingcheng was a little anxious now, why wasn’t Xiao Miaomiao coming up to talk to him yet? If she came up to talk to him, she would definitely tell him about what happened at dinner, and then he would know what Xiao Miaomiao thought of Zheng Yan.

Xiao Miaomiao had told him about going out for dinner that night.

Xiao Miaomiao gave her grandmother and mother the hairpins. They both knew how to use hairpins to tie their hair, and Xiao Miaomiao was learning from them, so it took some time. She didn’t expect Li Jingcheng to be so eager for her to come up.

But with someone teaching her step by step, Xiao Miaomiao wasn’t stupid, she actually learned how to do it. Although it was simple, it was still good. Xiao Miaomiao was very satisfied.
