After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1462: Extra Story—Countdown to the Finale

Afterward, Ou Cong, as he said he would, indeed came to Jiang Shuqin with immense sincerity.

Jiang Shuqin, who originally planned to treat Ou Cong coldly, was infuriated by his persistent "sincerity" like a sticky candy.

"Ou Cong, are you done yet?" When Jiang Shuqin once again was blocked by Ou Cong as she left, she stomped hard on his foot.

"Second Young Master Ou, as a man, you're still young, you can still mess around with time!" Jiang Shuqin glared at Ou Cong, angrily saying, "But I'm a woman, I'm 'old,' almost at the age where others see me as unable to get married!"

Jiang Shuqin recalled the previous blind date with Xiao Chen; wasn't it just because he disliked her for being old?

Hmph, the inequality between men and women is just like this.

This guy Ou Cong, always clueless about feelings, yet no one says anything to him.

And what about her? If she continues to be delayed, in others' eyes, she might be seen as the epitome of "past one's prime," right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuqin couldn't help but sigh, saying: "All in all, Ou Cong, could you please stop bothering me?"

"I seriously want to find someone solid, build a simple family, and be an ordinary woman."

"Ou Cong, I can't afford to be delayed anymore."

Jiang Shuqin spoke seriously.

"In that case, wouldn't marrying me be perfect?" Upon hearing her words, Ou Cong immediately said, "I don't understand, why do you oppose me so much?"

Ou Cong felt especially aggrieved.

Seeing Ou Cong's aggrieved appearance, Jiang Shuqin's previously suppressed anger flared up again, saying: "You don't understand? You still don't understand?"

Shuqin pointed angrily at Ou Cong's nose, saying, "Are you sure you want me to marry you? Do you truly like me, truly want me to marry you?"

"Of course I…" Ou Cong immediately said.

However, Jiang Shuqin didn't give him a chance to finish, directly interrupting: "No, you're not."

"Ou Cong, I know you're someone who values emotions a lot." Jiang Shuqin said, "You value family, friends, and business partners…"

Upon hearing this, Ou Cong was immediately puzzled, saying: "I… I value these things, but it doesn't conflict with me liking you! Shuqin, you have to believe me, I really…"

"Ou Cong!" Jiang Shuqin raised her voice and lifted her hand to stop Ou Cong from continuing.

"Ou Cong, don't speak yet, wait until I'm finished." Jiang Shuqin looked at Ou Cong, her gaze very serious.

"I…" Facing this Jiang Shuqin, Ou Cong felt panicked inside, but he eventually said, "Alright, I'll listen to you first."

Seeing Ou Cong finally quiet, Jiang Shuqin then withdrew her hand, gazing into the distance, her tone suddenly somewhat somber, saying: "Ou Cong, earlier, when I confessed to you, you were incredibly surprised and firmly rejected me…"

Upon hearing this, Ou Cong really wanted to say something.

But thinking it over, he ultimately bit his lip and said nothing.

Because he planned to understand once and for all what Jiang Shuqin was truly thinking.

At this point, Jiang Shuqin continued: "Many times, many things, the immediate reaction is the most genuine response."

"So, your rejection back then was your truest thought from the heart." Jiang Shuqin said calmly, "You… don't actually like me. Everything is merely because you later felt guilty, hence wanted to make amends…"
