Chapter 542: The 542nd reconciliation, I will never let go of you again Chapter 542: The 542nd reconciliation, I will never let go of you again When Yuan Weicheng saw Jin Jing again, his face was covered with stubble and he looked so haggard it was heartbreaking.
This time, he had completed his mission. After briefing his unit, he hurried over without even sparing time to wash up.
Yuan Weicheng, upon seeing Jin Jing come out, didn’t care if there were others around. He pulled her with him and they walked a long distance before stopping.
He gazed at Jin Jing steadily and asked hoarsely, “Why?”
At that moment, Jin Jing’s heart ached intensely. Unable to bear it any longer, she threw herself into his arms, crying. Yuan Weicheng, who had come to seek answers, suddenly didn’t know what to do.
Though he was quite angry, seeing her cry like that left him no choice but to gently pat her back. It wasn’t until she had cried enough that he asked, “Isn’t there anything we can’t face together? Why did you have to do it that way?”
Jin Jing didn’t care anymore about her sister Jin Li making noise in the background. Since Yuan Weicheng had found her again, she didn’t want to let go. Recently, she too had become terribly haggard.
Through tears, she told Yuan Weicheng what had happened. Yuan Weicheng said furiously, “Why didn’t you come to me when such a thing happened? Did you really think that would help her? Didn’t you think of me at all?”
Yuan Weicheng’s words were a shout, his anger real, but so was his fear.
When he had encountered that woman at the military camp entrance that day, he had felt something was off—the way she spoke, the tone of her voice. She claimed she had a cold and her throat was sore.
Later, when she bent down to tie her shoe, he noticed the lack of a plum blossom mark behind her right ear. When he asked about it, she said she had it removed with medicine recently because people kept teasing her about it. He found it strange, but couldn’t pinpoint why.
Yuan Weicheng really wanted to push this woman away and have her reflect thoroughly, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it, worried she might end up crying alone. So he said, “Tomorrow I’ll come to pick you up, to meet the parents.”
Jin Jing, with red eyes, said, “But what about my family?”
Yuan Weicheng replied, “What can be done about it? Of course, I will handle it. If you dare try to push me onto someone else again, see how I deal with you.”
Jin Jing leaned into his embrace, crying again. She truly felt wronged; her family pressured her, and now this stubborn man was even preparing to scold her.
Yuan Weicheng had no choice but to coax her, “I said that in a fit of anger. I take back what I said just now. Stop crying, otherwise, someone might come over soon.”
Jin Jing managed to stop her tears, but she still sniffled intermittently, which pained Yuan Weicheng deeply.
Once they had talked it out, Yuan Weicheng said, “Alright, it’s all on me now. Go back and put something on those eyes, or you’ll look too ugly to bear, not cute at all.”
Annoyed, Jin Jing felt like hitting someone.
Yuan Weicheng escorted her back to the factory gate and said, “Go inside. I’ll come early tomorrow to pick you up, and we’ll go back home together.”
Jin Jing, somewhat nervously, said, “But my sister has already been to your place. What if your family has opinions about me? And there will certainly be more scenes at my home. You should be prepared.”
Yuan Weicheng pinched Jin Jing’s nose lightly and said, “Don’t worry. I will take care of everything. Who’s like you? You seem smart usually, but at critical moments, utterly foolish.”
Jin Jing pouted, “You’re blaming me now? If you hadn’t looked like that, she wouldn’t have fallen for you. I haven’t even asked you how you know her. This is all your fault.”
Yuan Weicheng pulled her aside and embraced her again, “Okay, okay, okay, it’s my fault.”
Jin Jing suddenly smiled, “Then tell me, what did you do wrong?”
Yuan Weicheng scratched his head, “I don’t know where I went wrong, but since you say I did, then I must have.”
Jin Jing said, “You really know how to sweet-talk. Who else have you said this to?”
Yuan Weicheng helplessly said, “I originally came to seek answers, and now it seems like I’m here to be tortured by you.”
Jin Jing also put away her smile, saying seriously, “Wei Cheng, I’m sorry. I almost lost you. Since fate has brought you back to me, our destiny is sealed. I won’t do anything foolish again, I’ll never let you go.”
