Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1667: Chapter 1669 Heartache for Her

Cheng Cheng was at a loss for words.

Even though their voices were low, Chiang Xiao could still vaguely hear them from the bathroom.

She hadn’t turned on the water yet, and upon hearing Ah Liu’s words, her tears again began to flow.

Was she really pushing him too hard?

But at that time, she hadn’t expected his headache attack to be so terrifying.

Moreover, she truly wanted him to know about their relationship. If he couldn’t remember it himself, how could she tell him?

Cheng Cheng also didn’t know what to say at this moment.

He shared the same thoughts with Chiang Xiao on this.

If Ah Liu hadn’t remembered, and they told him directly, one lie would lead to countless more. If Ah Liu asked about Chiang Xiao’s mother, how would they explain it to him?

Although Ah Liu’s mind was still not quite right, if he knew he had once been in a marital relationship with a woman and fathered a daughter like Chiang Xiao, he would surely want to see Chiang Qingzhu and be responsible for her.

Ah Liu would also inquire about their marriage process and want to know how Chiang Xiao had been living all these years.

By then, how many lies would they have to concoct, how many stories would they have to make up?

They didn’t want to deceive him in that way.

Moreover, he had gradually started to remember many people and events over the past two years, and his behavior was increasingly indistinguishable from that of a normal person. Seeing this, there would inevitably come a time when he recalled everything.

A time for improvement was bound to come.

At that time, if he discovered they had all been deceiving him, it might be another kind of hurt.

So, Cheng Cheng actually understood Chiang Xiao.

However, right now, Ah Liu just couldn’t remember Peace Town, couldn’t remember Siyang Village, so what else could be done?

Forcing him to recall would only lead to outcomes like this.

Besides, is it possible that even if Ah Liu eventually remembered Peace Town Siyang Village, he might still not recall what happened on that day?

He was ill back then, with a high fever.

At that time, what would Chiang Xiao do?

Thinking about all this, Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Previously, he had some blame for Chiang Xiao, thinking she was being excessively harsh and cold to Ah Liu.

But now he felt a deep pity for her.

Such a young girl had it too hard.

With such a background, such a birth mother, such grandparents, and now such a father. Everything was weighing on her shoulders, and she hadn’t collapsed or gone astray, which was already extremely commendable.

Thinking about her tear-streaked face from earlier, Cheng Cheng felt a bit restless.

Had he been too harsh on her as well?

Was his tone too severe when he spoke to her before?

He suddenly felt very sorry for her.

Chiang Xiao roughly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, turned on the water, put her fingers in the basin, mixed some Spirit Spring Water into it, took a towel, and placed it in the water before carrying the basin out.

As soon as he saw her, Ah Liu fell silent and stopped asking.

”Let me do it,” Cheng Cheng softened his tone, reaching to take the basin from her.

Chiang Xiao dodged, ”Let me.”

She placed the water basin by the bedside, wrung out the towel, and gently wiped away the blood from Ah Liu’s face and forehead.

Ah Liu just stared at her in a daze.

The Spirit Spring Water mixed in the water provided a cool feeling on the wounds.

Ah Liu noticed that the wound on his forehead seemed to no longer hurt, and Chiang Xiao’s gentle movements made it seem like she feared he was fragile. Ah Liu had never experienced such tender care before.

Under the light, looking at her this way, he felt she resembled him even more.
