The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Chapter 435: It turns out that he was giving me face

Jiang Tingxia washed her hands, took out a towel to dry them, and wrinkled her nose. "I wanted to, but I'm embarrassed. That's your eldest sister. This is the first time we meet."

Li Changpu led Jiang Tingxia out the door, "So you're giving me face."

Jiang Tingxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're just being sentimental."

"I just don't want to leave a bad impression on others the first time we meet."

Li Changpu raised her eyebrows. If Jiang Tingxia was the kind of person who would worry about leaving a bad impression on someone she met for the first time, she wouldn't have been like that when she first met him.

Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia walked side by side, "No more jokes."

He said: "My sister is a timid person with a heavy heart. If you had really pushed her hand away, she would have been thinking about it for several days and would have felt very uncomfortable."

"That won't be good for your future relationship."

Jiang Tingxia raised his chin, with a joking look in his eyes, "I am not the kind of person who does things without considering the situation."

Her tone was playful, but her words to Li Changpu were truly comforting, "Put your heart in your stomach."

Li Changpu also said: "Don't worry, I'll talk to my sister when I get a chance, and tell her that you don't like physical contact with others, and ask her to be more careful about this kind of thing when she's with you."

Jiang Tingxia said, "Forget it. Your eldest sister's family has such a big problem. It's a mess. If you tell her about this at this juncture, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. Even if you say it in a tactful way, she will inevitably have opinions about you and me. Why bother?"

"Anyway, I won't come back to your hometown often, and we won't see each other much, so there's no need to say these things to annoy others. Besides," Jiang Tingxia looked at Li Changpu with sparkling eyes, "I don't hate your eldest sister."

Jiang Tingxia suddenly said, "You two siblings really look a bit alike, I can't really explain it." Jiang Tingxia looked carefully at Li Changpu's eyebrows and said, "The shape of your eyes is very similar."

Hearing what Jiang Tingxia said, Li Changpu put his fingers over his eyes and smiled. He nodded, "Yeah, my sister said that our eyes are like my mother's."

Speaking of his mother, Li Changpu's eyes revealed a little sadness, "Tingxia, when we get to the village, we won't go home yet. I want to take you up the mountain to visit my mother's grave first."

Perhaps it was because he was thinking of his family, Jiang Tingxia saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly bitter, "I didn't even tell her in person about our marriage."

Jiang Tingxia had no objection. She had taken a few days off and traveled all for Li Changpu's family matters. For her, it made no difference whether she went back to his home or to his mother's grave. It all depended on how he arranged it.

Jiang Tingxia nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you."

……

Li Changpu and Jiang Tingxia drove all the way to Gaoshan Village.

The car stopped. There was a mountain in front and the car could not drive in. Li Changpu took Jiang Tingxia out of the car. They walked slowly together. When they encountered a steep part of the mountain road, Jiang Tingxia felt a little unstable.

After walking along the winding path, there was a path about six or seven meters long in front. Although it was a road, it looked like it could not even accommodate a person's foot. The ground below was suspended in the air, and there were pits and rocks underneath. When Jiang Tingxia saw this, his legs trembled, and for a moment he didn't want to move forward.

Li Changpu was walking in front and turned back, "Pull me."

Jiang Tingxia hesitated, looked at the pit more than ten meters deep, and shook his head, "This road cannot be taken."

"I can walk."

Li Changpu walked on this path as if it were flat ground. He walked over and back, walked to show Jiang Tingxia, then stood on the narrow path, holding onto a protruding stone next to him with one hand, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Tingxia, "Don't be afraid, just hold my hand."

He said, “It’s definitely not going to fall.”

Looking at Li Changpu's big hand reaching out to her, Jiang Tingxia closed her eyes, stretched out her hand as well, and gave herself to him.

Jiang Tingxia didn't dare to look at her feet, so she closed her eyes. She only felt her hand being tightly held by Li Changpu's warm big hand, and half of her body was lifted up. She tapped her toes twice and walked across the path. Before the momentum was over, Jiang Tingxia fell on Li Changpu.

Li Changpu was walking backwards, so he opened his arms and took Jiang Tingxia into his arms, "Come here."

He called her, "Tingxia, open your eyes."

Jiang Tingxia opened his eyes and saw Li Changpu's face close to him. He smiled gently and confidently, and said, "Don't be afraid. Trust me. You won't fall as long as I'm here."

Jiang Tingxia was so scared that he held Li Changpu's hand extra tightly. Jiang Tingxia looked down and saw several deep nail marks on his palm. Jiang Tingxia felt a little sorry and was about to let go, but as soon as his hand left his hand, it was grabbed back by Li Changpu.

"Just lead me away."

Jiang Tingxia was unwilling, "I've scratched your hand, I'd better go by myself."

She was too nervous and scared just now, and she didn't pay attention and didn't control the strength of her hands well, so she hurt him. She felt bad about it.

Li Changpu held Jiang Tingxia's hand tightly and smiled, "It's okay."

He looked at the road leading up the mountain and said, "I will lead you along the way from now on."

……

When they arrived at the place, they saw a low mound of grave in front of them, covered with weeds. It was empty and looked very desolate and lonely.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Tingxia noticed Li Changpu's sadness, because he held her hand tightly and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Jiang Tingxia didn't have any thoughts at first about the strange mother of Li Changpu whom she had never met before, but at this moment, Jiang Tingxia's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable along with Li Changpu's emotions.

Li Changpu took Jiang Tingxia forward, walked to the tomb, and knelt down.

He said to the grave mound: "Mom, my son is getting married."

He smiled again, "I'll bring my daughter-in-law back to see you."

Li Changpu looked up at Jiang Tingxia, reached out and grabbed Jiang Tingxia's arm, and Jiang Tingxia knelt down as well.

The two of them knelt side by side in front of the grave and kowtowed, as if making up for the kowtow they missed to their parents when they got married.

Li Changpu rested his head on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

Jiang Tingxia stood up and saw that his shoulders were shaking, and knew that he was crying.

It was the first time that Jiang Tingxia saw Li Changpu like this. In the past, he always looked like a man of steel and never cried in front of her even when he was injured or sick.

Jiang Tingxia felt uncomfortable. She grabbed Li Changpu's arm, hugged him to one side, and leaned against him gently. She didn't say anything and stayed by his side silently.

There were tears in her eyes, and she actually cried with him.

……

Li Changpu felt uncomfortable because he missed his mother and he was heartbroken. The place was overgrown with weeds and it was obvious that no one had cleaned it up for a long time. He felt that he was unfilial and had not taken good care of his mother's grave when he was away for so many years.

He has always been a man of action, so he simply started cleaning up, rolling up his sleeves and pulling out the nearby weeds.

Jiang Tingxia also bent over and pulled a handful of weeds from time to time. When Li Changpu saw this, he asked her to sit aside.

Jiang Tingxia followed behind Li Changpu, "I'll help you clean up together."

Li Changpu walked towards Jiang Tingxia and said, "You can't do it."

Li Changpu took the weeds from Jiang Tingxia's hand, patted her palm, and squatted down to brush the dirt off Jiang Tingxia. She had just knelt down and there were two traces of yellow soil on her knees.

Li Changpu took off his coat again, spread it on a large rock on the side, and asked Jiang Tingxia to sit down.

"Just sit there and wait for me. I'll finish this little job in no time."

"I'd better go with you." Jiang Tingxia tried to stand up but was pushed back by Li Changpu.

"No need." He looked at Jiang Tingxia who had walked such a long mountain road with him, with her hair slightly disheveled, and felt a little distressed, feeling sorry for her embarrassment.

"When we left the hospital, my sister asked me to take care of you. But in just a short while, you followed me and looked so dirty. She was blaming me for not taking good care of you."

He looked at the grave again and said, "My mother is watching too. If she knows that I let her daughter-in-law do the work, she will feel bad for you."

Jiang Tingxia sat on a rock. Li Changpu had taken off his coat and was only wearing a white shirt, so Jiang Tingxia reached out and rolled up his sleeves. He said, "If your mother saw this, she would definitely blame me for being mean to her son. I let you do so many things by yourself, and I just sat there and watched."

Li Changpu immediately said, "No, my mother definitely wouldn't think so."

Jiang Tingxia looked up at him and asked with a smile, "How did you know?"

"I just know it." Li Changpu said.

When he saw Jiang Tingxia being well-behaved and looking up at him, he felt infinite tenderness in his heart.

"You are so good, they must love you and care about you."

He had one more thing he hadn't said out loud, but was just thinking about it in his mind.

You are so nice, they must love you and care about you, just like me.
