The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 565: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (104)

"Okay! It's not a big deal." Cao Shixun looked nonchalant and said casually, "You are the child's biological mother, so it would be great if you are willing to raise him."

Xie Wanru felt relieved when she heard him say that. A gentle smile appeared on her face. She nodded gently, saying that she was very happy: "I know that you still have me in your heart."

Then she jumped into Cao Shixun's arms like a happy little bird.

However, the moment her face approached Cao Shixun's broad chest, the bright smile on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace, replaced by an indescribable indifference and determination.

Even her eyes turned icy cold in an instant, as if she had become a different person.

Unfortunately, all these changes happened in a flash, and Cao Shixun, immersed in joy, did not notice anything unusual.

Instead, he was secretly delighted in his heart: he felt that his wife, who had always been spoiled and willful, was so understanding and reasonable today, which was really precious.

From then on, the turmoil caused by the concubine of the Cao family finally subsided temporarily.

The peaceful days lasted until a month and a half before the wedding of Su Xiangran and Song Chengjing, when things finally got turbulent again.

The cause of this incident may date back many years.

At that time, Song Chengjing was still studying abroad and met a group of like-minded and passionate young people.

This group of young people are all ambitious people who care about the world. They are wholeheartedly committed to promoting the revolutionary cause and hope to save the country from danger.

And they were all staunch revolutionaries.

At first, Song Chengjing provided them with some material and financial assistance out of friendship between compatriots.

However, as time went on, he was gradually infected by their patriotic enthusiasm and ideas of saving the country, and finally decided to join them.

On the day of returning home, the conversation with the rickshaw driver was actually a secret code for contact.

The several banknotes that Song Chengjing gave to the driver contained intelligence and information he brought back from abroad.

It is worth mentioning that his major abroad was finance. According to the Song family's plan for him, he should have worked in the Ministry of Finance, but he chose to start from a small position in the Executive Yuan.

There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to more conveniently obtain the intelligence needed by comrades.

This time, it was because he knew in advance the arrival time and handover location of a batch of important materials that he was able to pass the news to his comrades in advance.

Although the civil war has not yet broken out in full force, most of the revolutionaries' actions have gone underground. Every action they take is full of danger and must be kept strictly confidential.

Although the civil war has not yet reached a very serious level, many of the revolutionary party's actions must be carried out in secret.

The good news is that the intelligence has been successfully sent and the supplies have been intercepted by their people.

Unfortunately, the comrade in charge of the handover was betrayed by a traitor and his identity was exposed. In order to avoid implicating more people and ensure the safety of the hidden materials, he chose to die together with the traitor when he was arrested.

This directly resulted in the failure to transport this critical material in a timely manner.

But these supplies were crucial to the battle situation on the front line, so he made a difficult decision: to personally deliver these supplies to where they were most needed.

However, in this case, Song Chengjing's own identity is very likely to be exposed.

In addition, the journey is difficult, with countless checkpoints along the way, and you may even lose your life.

On one hand, there is the long-awaited wedding that he has waited for a full ten years, and on the other hand, there are the lives and safety of his revolutionary comrades and many soldiers who are in urgent need of material support. Song Chengjing is caught in a dilemma.

However, time is running out, and the risk of the supplies being recovered increases with every day of delay.

One month and eleven days before the wedding, when Su Xiangran and Song Chengjing were having lunch together, she said, "Brother Jing, if you don't want to marry me, you can just say so."

"Ah!" Song Chengjing didn't understand why Su Xiangran said that, but he immediately explained, "No, Xiaoran, I don't want to marry you."

Su Xiangran frowned and said, "Then why are you getting more anxious as the wedding date approaches? Are you hiding something from me? Or are you like Cao Shixun and have another woman outside?"

Secretly, Su Xiangran always called Cao Shixun by his name, and only called him "cousin" in person, because she thought he was a "rotten cucumber".

"I report my schedule and work schedule to you every day, so how can I find time to look for someone else?" Song Chengjing said helplessly, "I am absolutely devoted to you. Even when mosquitoes come over, I have to distinguish between male and female before letting them get close."

After hearing this, Su Xiangran chuckled, but immediately asked, "Why do you sigh every time you eat recently? Have you encountered any problems?"

Song Chengjing's heart moved, and he wanted to confess to Su Xiangran, but when he thought of the organization's discipline, he felt a little embarrassed.
