Soft Fragrance

Chapter 75: You’re not allowed to go

Chen Xiang is very outstanding, at least in the family gatherings, every elder likes her.

Liao Jun’s parents always watch these two from afar. When Liao Jun personally peels shrimp for Chen Xiang and the two whisper to each other, Liao Jun would always show an uncontrollable smile.

In Liao Jun’s parents’ hearts, there are mixed feelings. Since that phone call, Liao Jun hasn’t called home once. He didn’t even come home for Mid-Autumn Festival or Chinese New Year.

If it were just that Chen Xiang hadn’t attended school, it would be one thing. But now that she’s been accepted to the polytechnic university, Liao’s father even went to the school to check Chen Xiang’s exam results. From freshman to junior year, she ranked first in every subject in her class and even received a scholarship.

As soon as Liao’s father arrived, he left. The next day, he came as usual, carrying a pot of bone broth made by Chen Xiang.

Liao’s mother could tell with just one taste, but she didn’t reveal it. She just felt a little more fondness towards Chen Xiang. Liao Jun sat down and didn’t say a word. After peeling oranges, he started to peel apples and bananas, placing them in front of his mother.

It had been a long time since Liao’s mother had spent quality time with her son. She just stared at him for a long time before finally sighing and saying, “You’ve grown so big now.”

Liao Jun fell silent for a moment.

“I’ve actually accepted Chen Xiang a long time ago. We were just waiting for you to take the initiative and bring her to meet us,” Liao’s mother sighed softly. “You’re just as stubborn as your father. Neither of you is willing to back down.”

“It’s not her that you can’t accept. It’s me, the way I am,” Liao Jun placed the peeled apple on the plate. “I’m not a prosecutor, not a lawyer, not a professor. I’ve brought shame upon you.”

Of course, Liao’s mother had reservations in her heart. She and Liao’s father, both professors, couldn’t understand where they had gone wrong, causing Liao Jun to turn out like this. But now, regret was useless. Liao Jun was already thirty-five years old, and they couldn’t change anything.

“I don’t need your acceptance,” Liao Jun wiped the knife clean and put it in the dish. “Chen Xiang and I are doing well. I don’t need anyone’s approval.”

As he walked out, he met Liao’s father at the door. The two exchanged a brief glance, and Liao Jun didn’t say anything before leaving straight away.

The next day, he didn’t want to come again. Even though Chen Xiang had prepared the soup, when she called him to go, he refused. Chen Xiang simply changed her clothes and prepared to go by herself.

Liao Jun angrily grabbed her wrist, his whole expression full of anger. “You’re not allowed to go!”

Since they got married, this was the first time Liao Jun had gotten so serious. Chen Xiang wasn’t scared, but she felt indescribable sadness and grievance. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Liao Jun let go, pulling her into his arms. “Don’t make me angry, be good, don’t go.”

“I just hope that when our child is born, they can see their grandparents,” Chen Xiang sniffled.

Liao Jun was stunned for a moment, then pulled her away and asked, “What did you say?”

“I said you’re a big villain,” Chen Xiang burst into tears.

Liao Jun hurriedly wiped her tears away. “Don’t cry, don’t cry, wife, I was wrong! Damn it! I was wrong! Don’t cry! Don’t cry! Damn it, do we have a child?”

Chen Xiang nodded, tears still streaming down her face.

He stared at her belly in shock and joy, behaving like a fool for a while, then repeated, “Do we have a child?”

Chen Xiang nodded again.

Liao Jun hugged her tightly, kissing her lips deeply. “Wife, am I dreaming? Do we really have a child?”

For some reason, tears welled up in Chen Xiang’s eyes again. Both she and Liao Jun were children lacking love, so their desire for love was much greater than others.

But Liao Jun was willing to give her all his love.

In return, she was willing to love him wholeheartedly for the rest of her life.
