Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1041: This Year Is 1987

Chiang Qing did not know how long she had been crouching in the rain, until a pair of military boots appeared in front of her, along with an umbrella over her head.

”Chiang... Doctor?”

Chiang Qing looked up, took off her sunglasses, and upon seeing the person in front of her, frowned slightly, but stood up.

”It really is you? Why are you crouching here?” Dong Jun reached out to help her up, speaking with a tone of pleasant surprise.

Just a moment ago he thought he had seen wrong, but it was truly her, The Proud Daughter of Heaven, Commander Chiang’s daughter.

He thought he would never see her again in this lifetime, yet here she was again after all these years.

Dong Jun’s eyes became enthusiastic once more, while Chiang Qing’s eyes flickered upon seeing that look.

...

Qi Taiguo held Cheng Su close as they walked home, suddenly turning to look around.

”What’s wrong?” Cheng Su looked at him with a face full of curiosity.

”It’s nothing.” Qi Taiguo’s sharp gaze scanned around but saw nothing unusual, so he continued walking with her, chastising: ”It’s raining, why did you come to pick me up? It’s still quite cold.”

”Hehe, normally you’re the one picking me up, let me pick you up this time. I saw it raining and thought you wouldn’t bring an umbrella, so I came to get you!” Cheng Su said with a smile.

Qi Taiguo felt warm in his heart and couldn’t help but give in, moving the umbrella more towards her, not minding that half of his own body was getting wet.

Cheng Su chattered on about the restaurant’s growing business, then mentioned the Jam Company having conducted a charity event that made it into the newspaper, which opened up their reputation.

Qi Taiguo listened quietly and casually said: ”Charity events are always positive and uplifting with good energy. This time you delivered to the five-guarantee households, next time, you could consider delivering to homes for the aged or orphanages; I bet the children would love these things!”

”Yes, back when I was at the orphanage...” Cheng Su accidentally blurted out, then abruptly stopped.

”What’s wrong?” Qi Taiguo noticed her face change and she stood there, not moving.

”This year, is it 1987?” Cheng Su tightly gripped his hand, trembling slightly.

”Yes, what’s up?” Qi Taiguo saw her face not only looking worse but also holding a trembling voice and hand, furrowing his brows he asked: ”What’s happened to you all of a sudden?”

Cheng Su took a deep breath, slightly curling the corner of her lips, and said: ”Nothing, let’s go home!”

She had forgotten, almost forgotten, that in April of 1987 in her past life, she had been abandoned at the doorstep of Guangcheng Orphanage, and later grew up with support from others. So who abandoned her, and why did they not want her?

In her previous life, she couldn’t find the answer. In this life, she wanted to search for the answer herself. She wanted to know why they didn’t want her.

But if she truly found herself, then who was she now?

Cheng Su’s expression changed again and again. If she found the abandoned self, would she still grow up, would she still be that same self?

So who am I now?

Back home, Cheng Su was still immersed in her thoughts, her mind in a chaotic mess, unable to untangle the lines, the more she struggled, the tighter they seemed to wrap.

Qi Taiguo noticed something off with her, her face pale and somewhat panicked, his eyes couldn’t help but reveal worry as he placed a cup of hot water into her palm.

Cheng Su was brought back to her senses by the warmth in her palm. Seeing his worried expression, she wanted to smile.

”If you don’t feel like smiling then don’t.” Qi Taiguo held her shoulders and asked: ”Susu, what happened? We are husband and wife, speak out, and let’s solve it together, okay?”
