Chapter 399: Chapter 395 Please Spare Me [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes+]
——————
"Xiao Ying, don’t be angry. I, I didn’t mean to..." Xie Jingyang was suddenly sobered by her glare, quickly grabbed her arm as she turned to walk away, and hurriedly apologized.
"Let go!" Jiang Xiaoying felt as if thunder was rolling in her head, unable to believe that Xie Jingyang was this kind of man!
As a result, her face flushed red from this sudden insult, her eyes turning even redder.
Having been widowed for many years, she knew many men wanted to have a ’dewy affair’ with her, which she found particularly detestable.
Who decided that a widow must be loose and casual?
Clearly, it is the men who first degrade women, and yet they end up blaming women for being unchaste?
While one should not paint everyone with the same brush, if it were not for men’s initial lust, would widows be subjugated and forced to submit?
Everyone has their way of living, but there is no one who is inherently depraved. They are merely forced by life, choosing the most beneficial way to live.
Jiang Xiaoying never felt that she had to keep to her deceased husband for life. After all, her emotional foundation with her late husband was non-existent; he was a soldier, and they were often apart. Facing in-laws who were difficult and irrational without his support, how could she harbor any feelings for him?
Moreover, observing mourning for three years was more for her daughter’s sake.
When her husband died, her daughter was just three weeks old. Remarrying and abandoning her daughter would be like throwing her into a den of wolves; she did not bear her daughter out of struggle just to have her degraded by others!
Observing three years of mourning for her late husband would mean her daughter would be nearly seven years old by then. She would earn a good reputation—why not?
Ultimately, remarrying at twenty-two or twenty-five or twenty-six wouldn’t make much of a difference.
Either way, she couldn’t escape the fact of being a divorcee, even if her spouse had sacrificed himself for the country.
If the family of the man she remarried looked down on her daughter, life would definitely be different.
She cherished the daughter she struggled to bring up. She’d rather endure hardships herself than expect a young child to bear them.
This was inconsistent with her family values. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Although her mother was still alive back then, if not for her sensible brother and sister-in-law, she couldn’t have returned to her maternal home for support.
Moreover, when her mother died, she pressed her to wait just three years before starting to look for a good man to marry.
What mother could bear to see her daughter, only in her twenties, remain a widow for a man her whole life?
Jiang Xiaoying was not that foolish.
But a proper matchmaking session and being treated by Xie Jingzi like this were fundamentally different!
She felt that Xie Jingyang was shamelessly playing games with her!
Though a widow, she still had her dignity. How could she not be angry!
"Xiao Ying, I’m sorry! I, I was just confused and didn’t see clearly. Please don’t be mad! I, I’m willing to take responsibility!"
Xie Jingyang didn’t know what to say to make her stay. Seeing Xiao Ying’s eyes full of disdain and anger towards him, he blurted out without thinking.
"What?" Jiang Xiaoying’s anger had yet to subside and was startled by Xie Jingyang’s words—
What did Xie Jingyang mean? He was willing to take responsibility? Responsible for what? Did he mean marrying her just because he accidentally touched her hand?
Or was he suggesting she follow him without any formal status?
"Xiao Ying, I, I think you are quite, quite good, and patient with the children. If you don’t mind that I have two children, I am willing to marry you."
Xie Jingyang, already possessing the determination and shrewdness of the Xie Family, seized the opportunity, despite his flushed face, and spoke to Jiang Xiaoying.
"What are you talking about? Do you know that I have a daughter even older than Xiao Si? You must be drunk..."
Jiang Xiaoying widened her eyes, incredulously looking at him, murmuring back.
"I, I am not drunk!" Xie Jingyang was nervous inside, his tongue almost tying as he saw the disbelief on Jiang Xiaoying’s face, he immediately retorted:
"I truly admire you, and it’s not child’s play." After saying this, he looked at her intently, his eyes conveying his resolve.
He genuinely found Jiang Xiaoying to be a good person and patient with the children, someone who could observe three years of mourning for her late husband and raise her daughter single-handedly, a testament to her character.
Jiang Xiaoying was utterly dumbfounded.
Xie Jingyang was interested in her?
Was this a mistake? Not only was she older than him, but her daughter was also older than his eldest child, and most importantly, she was a widow!
Aunt Xie was friendly to her now because she was responsible for taking care of Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi; if not for the Buddha, also for the monk’s sake, so Mr. Xie and Aunt Xie were quite kind to her.
But, that was a relationship of caretaking.
If she really became Xie Jingyang’s partner, the narrative would definitely change!
Jiang Xiaoying really couldn’t believe that this customer’s younger brother was now saying he took a liking to her?!
My God, she was just a nursing nanny, not a guest. The status was inherently unequal. If it got out that she, while under this employment, seduced the host’s brother, labeling her as lascivious, serving as a nanny while still finding time to seduce men...
Just thinking of the gossips’ words, Jiang Xiaoying felt her future life would definitely be gloomy!
Therefore, seeing Xie Jingyang’s intense and hopeful gaze, Jiang Xiaoying did not feel overjoyed but instead felt her life was going to be terrible!
"Xie Jingyang, do not talk nonsense about this; it would be bad if people misunderstood. I’m just a nanny, I really didn’t do anything to you, please let me off!"
Jiang Xiaoying quickly finished speaking, and even more forcefully shook off his hand, fleeing the scene as if someone was trying to kill her.
Jiang Xiaoying’s heart was pounding; to say she wasn’t moved would be a lie.
Xie Jingyang, tall and handsome, although he had two children, it was undeniable that he was very attractive. Additionally, he was already a formal teacher, receiving government allowances and benefits, making him highly sought after among women!
Despite him marrying and having children early and now divorced, at the school, quite a few colleagues wanted to set him up.
But Xie Jingyang had set his sights on Jiang Xiaoying first, so he obviously wouldn’t go on other dates.
For the sake of giving his two children a complete family, he was determined to get married, and for the upbringing of his daughter, having a mom to guide her was necessary.
He felt that Jiang Xiaoying was the most suitable.
Now, Xiao Si and Xiaoqi both quite liked Jiang Xiaoying. With their current relationship, if they really reconstituted a family, it would not have as many issues as a family formed after a blind date.
He had only heard of Jiang Xiaoying’s daughter and had not met her; thinking of how virtuous Jiang Xiaoying was, her daughter must certainly be well-taught by her. In this way, a family could live together happily and harmoniously.
