After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1423 - 1422: Ou Cong – Extra Story

When Ou Cong thought of this, strangely enough, he felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart, yet at the same time he felt a bit lost.

Just then, he heard Jiang Shuqin curl her lip again and say, "But so what? I just happened to fall for you..."

"Even though you’re dumb in the head and impulsive, you really care about your family and your friends, and you’re very loyal." Jiang Shuqin’s tone, which had been full of resentment just now, suddenly turned into a sigh.

"Actually, I call you stupid, but I’m stupid too," Jiang Shuqin said. "Back then, you never realized I’d already fallen for you."

"It was only later that I suddenly noticed, no matter what you said or did, my mood seemed to be easily affected by you."

"At first, I didn’t understand what that emotional sway was supposed to mean."

"Later, when I saw quite a few classmates and friends around me gradually stepping into marriage, I suddenly thought, if I were to find a man to marry, after thinking it over again and again, there was only you left..."

Hearing this, Ou Cong quietly added a line in his heart: she’s really wronging herself.

For some reason, Ou Cong actually felt quite unhappy listening to what Jiang Shuqin said.

Then Ou Cong suddenly froze.

Wait a second, did this count as his emotions being affected by Jiang Shuqin?

He didn’t have time to think it through, because over on Jiang Shuqin’s side, she was already continuing, "Ou Cong, do you know? I’ve always been waiting—waiting for the day you finally wake up and then confess to me..."

When she got to this part, Jiang Shuqin’s tone turned resentful again.

"But I realized, you, this person, might just be born without that nerve," Jiang Shuqin sighed and went on, "but a woman really can’t wait for you forever."

"Actually, on this trip back to Capital City, I had already decided I would lay everything out with you."

"I just didn’t expect that your parents would suddenly come to my house to talk about a proposal."

Jiang Shuqin sighed again and said, "So now I have no choice but to talk to you in advance."

"Ou Cong, I’m seriously asking you one more time: do you actually like me or not? That kind of liking between a man and a woman." Jiang Shuqin fixed her gaze on Ou Cong once again and asked in an extremely serious tone.

"If you like me, then we’ll go along with what the elders want and get married."

"If you don’t like me..." At this point Jiang Shuqin couldn’t help pausing for a second. She lowered her head slightly, then raised it again to look at him and said, "If you don’t like me, then let’s end this sooner rather than later."

"You can go on living your carefree life, and I can let go of you earlier and go find my own happiness elsewhere." As Jiang Shuqin said this, all kinds of emotions flickered in her eyes.

But thousands upon thousands of emotions finally condensed into resolve.

These words were something Jiang Shuqin had only spoken after long, careful thought.

Feelings can never be forced.

So when it should be cut off, cut it off.

Even if the process of cutting it off is pain down to the bone.

From the moment she decided to lay everything out, Jiang Shuqin had already prepared herself for this.

Looking at a Jiang Shuqin like this, Ou Cong couldn’t help feeling at a complete loss.

"Shuqin, you..." Ou Cong opened his mouth, but still didn’t know what to say.

Jiang Shuqin likes him?

This... this was never something he had anticipated!

Ou Cong himself admitted that he could be pretty stupid sometimes, and pretty impulsive.

So it had never occurred to him that Jiang Shuqin would like him, especially since she’d known him since they were little and knew all those most embarrassing things about his past.
