The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 351 - 341

Wang Miaomiao, half-asleep and half-awake, vaguely felt something staring at her, and suddenly something was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

She squinted her eyes slightly and then noticed a blurry figure in front of her. This startled her awake, and she quickly blinked twice to adjust to the light, finally seeing the person in front of her clearly.

"Ah, you scared me. Why are you sitting here?" Seeing it was her husband Jiang Yan, she glared at him with feigned annoyance.

Then, lowering her head to look at her sweet daughter in her arms, she saw her little face buried in her embrace, sleeping soundly and occasionally snoring softly. She couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Looking at her chest again, there was an extra blanket. Ah... no wonder it felt oppressive.

Jiang Yan casually changed his sitting posture, glanced at the sky, and said, "Sleeping outside without a blanket, what if you catch a cold? It’s getting late. Do you want to get up?"

Wang Miaomiao glanced at Xiao Xuanxuan and said somewhat guiltily, "The weather has warmed up. It shouldn’t be cold, right... She’s still sleeping soundly..." As she spoke, she carefully tucked the blanket around Xiao Xuanxuan.

"How about I take her back to the room to sleep?" Jiang Yan suggested after glancing at Xiao Xuanxuan.

Wang Miaomiao felt her arm had gone numb from being pressed. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded. The sun was setting, and a slight breeze had started outside, indeed not suitable for sleeping outside anymore.

Jiang Yan got up, carefully picked up Xiao Xuanxuan, and walked towards the room.

After they left, Wang Miaomiao tried to move her arm, feeling a tingly soreness at the touch, causing her to wrinkle her brow and grimace, sucking in a sharp breath.

Damn... It’s such a pain.

She got up, gently massaging her tingly arm, and headed towards the room.

Just as she pushed open the door and walked in, the next second, she was pulled directly into a warm embrace. Before she realized it, she was pinned against the door.

Leaning against the door panel, at the instant she was pressed up, a warm hand was placed behind her head. In a flash of light and shadow, she was enveloped, and a slightly cool, domineering kiss fell brazenly on her lips.

The overwhelming scent was unique to him.

The scent of wood mixed with a hint of ocean mint, smelling clean and crisp, mesmerizing her deeply.

After a gentle bite and a turn and grind, the large hand that passed through her arm to her waist lightly supported her body, which could collapse at any moment, pressing her against him as if he wished to meld her into his bones.

All the blood in Wang Miaomiao’s body rushed to her head instantly, her whole body became scalding, nearly breathless.

His palm was very hot, with a searing temperature that, through the clothes, touched the skin on her waist, unbearably itchy.

After a long while, her breathing became slightly rapid. Just when she was almost out of breath, Jiang Yan finally released her.

He slightly crouched, resting his chin on her shoulder blade, his slightly heavy breathing blowing on her neck and behind her ear, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

Wang Miaomiao took deep breaths, her chest heaving violently. Her lips were slightly numb, and his hand was still on her waist, gently caressing through the fabric.

Her voice was still laced with unsteady breaths, soft and tender, she called out, "Hubby..."

Jiang Yan let out an "Hmm," low and hoarse, like a hum from his nose, carrying a lazy tone.

His breath lightly blew behind her ear, with a warming temperature that made her legs weak, making her shift her head slightly.

Still catching her breath, her voice had a hint of confusion as she asked, "What’s wrong?"

She felt that he was unusually emotional today, not knowing what had happened.

Jiang Yan chuckled lightly, slightly mocking yet somewhat dejected, "Just went to the grand courtyard with Dad to see Mom..."

"Hmm..." Wang Miaomiao relaxed her body, leaning into his embrace wholeheartedly, quietly listening to his story.

It turned out that this time Zheng Zhen called them over, it was still about the Zheng Family’s affairs.

After Grandmaster Zheng returned, he surprisingly didn’t stay at his son’s place but moved into Zheng Zhen’s, which was in the military district courtyard.

From the day Cheng Xue and Wang Jia Bao got married, seeing the Jiang Family’s attitude towards the Zheng Family, he knew that the Jiang Family wouldn’t be taken advantage of, so they had to find another way.

Knowing that Zheng Zhen lived alone in the courtyard after her divorce, Grandmaster Zheng started plotting, claiming lovingly that he wanted to live with Zheng Zhen for a while to talk about their father-daughter relationship, missing for years.

Zheng Zhen agreed after thinking about it. Over the years, living alone, she felt a bit lonely and quiet, and having her father live with her didn’t seem bad.

And so, Grandmaster Zheng smoothly moved into the courtyard, starting a life of diplomacy, waking with the sun and resting with its setting.

He knew that all the residents here were prominent, and if he won any favor, the Zheng Family would benefit immensely, rising further.

Therefore, the small park in the courtyard became his outpost. Unfortunately, not everyone is a fool, and intentional flattery with motives buys little favor.

Only those of similar ilk could converse amicably with him, grouped together, what good could come of it.

And his health worsened. Not long ago, when Old Master Jiang suddenly passed away, he mysteriously fell ill too.

After waking, he felt his time might be limited, growing more urgent. His temper got worse, becoming stubborn and difficult to please.

This made Zheng Zhen miserable and regretful.

Regret? Obvious enough. Over the past year, serving him had been quite enough. It’s easy to invite a deity but harder to send one away; once here, not leaving.

Today, bringing Jiang Zhongyi and Jiang Yan over was still about the Zheng Family’s matters. A few days ago, a fatal accident occurred at a construction project site contracted by the Zheng Family. As the person in charge, Zheng Long was legally detained. The cause of the accident was under intense investigation.

With the incident, the Zheng Family naturally sought connections everywhere, and the Jiang Family, as in-laws, was one inevitable choice.

Grandmaster Zheng, lying in bed and unable to move, pleaded tearfully with the Jiang father and son to lend a hand to help the Zheng Family through the crisis.

Unfortunately, both Jiang Zhongyi and Jiang Yan, in the face of significant issues, were not ones to abuse their power for personal gain, resolutely refusing his request.

This hit a hornet’s nest, and when Grandmaster Zheng saw they were impervious to reason, he shamelessly resorted to obstinacy.

Originally physically frail, having lived with Zheng Zhen for so long, it was enough. After all, this wasn’t his home; he wished to return to the Zheng Family’s old residence, to spend his remaining years in peace and complete that final journey.

But now...

He left the words there that if the Jiang Family didn’t intervene, he wouldn’t leave, staying there until his death.
