Chapter 83: “Wife, my fault, forgive me.”
“Young Master!”
From afar, Shen Zhuo saw Xia Dou leading a group of maids to greet them at the manor gate.
Most of the Shen family’s servants were boys and girls who had been trafficked into slavery.
They were bought by Shen Xuyin and Jiang Yuening, who then taught them combat skills.
Once they found a partner or reached the age of 25,
They would find them a decent job.
Leaving the General’s residence to live their own lives.
Du Xun parked the car at the entrance and took some gifts from the back.
Shen Zhuo blinked: “When did you buy these?”
Du Xun whispered, “Meeting the in-laws, one must bring some gifts.”
When the two were ushered into the living room, Shen Zhuo’s first instinct was to pull Du Xun away.
Jiang Yuening was sitting on the sofa, head turned towards the balcony.
And beside the omega, half-kneeling—
Was the renowned General Shen.
“Wife…”
“My fault, really my fault, I was wrong…”
“Yue Yue, just look at me, okay?”
“Wife?”
Jiang Yuening remained silent, his brows cold, refusing to turn his head.
The air pressure in the room was extremely low.
Only then did Shen Zhuo understand why Xia Dou and the others were waiting at the door.
No one wanted to stay here.
“Xia Dou,” Shen Zhuo pulled Du Xun back outside the living room and whispered, “What happened here?”
Xia Dou revealed an indescribable expression: “Young Master…”
“I only know it’s because the Madam used his ability too many times, and the Master got angry and scolded him a bit.”
Shen Zhuo and Du Xun exchanged a glance.
Jiang Yuening’s differentiation ability was called [Revival of All Things].
It was a terrifyingly powerful healing ability.
For people with the same or lower gland rank, as long as they weren’t dead, almost any injury could be healed instantly.
The only drawback was that excessive use would damage the gland, leading to gland degradation.
When Jiang Yuening’s rank was tested as an adult, it was S3+, just a fraction away from S4.
But now, it seemed he only had S1 power left.
This was probably why Shen Xuyin didn’t want him to go to the medical department.
It was too damaging to his body.
Shen Xuyin had always been very concerned about Jiang Yuening’s health.
Even a scratch on his hand would make him rush to ask the doctor to take a closer look.
If Dad used his ability too much on the battlefield, it was truly understandable.
“I saw them getting along quite well a few days ago?”
This kind of thing was hard for Shen Zhuo to solve, “How did it suddenly become like this?”
Xia Dou lowered her voice and whispered, “Just this morning, before the Master and Madam came back from the military headquarters, they encountered an attack.”
“The matter was resolved, but the Madam used his ability to resolve it.”
Du Xun squeezed Shen Zhuo’s hand, telling him not to worry.
Shen Zhuo asked: “Do you know what Father said to Dad?”
Xia Dou bit her finger, recalling.
“It seemed to be, ‘If you use your ability recklessly like this again, I won’t bring you out anymore! Every time you have to be like this! You really piss me off!'”
Xia Dou acted it out vividly, then changed her expression: “The Madam replied: ‘What? You want to hit me?'”
Xia Dou paused again: “Then…”
Shen Zhuo: “Then?”
Xia Dou mumbled and pointed to a display shelf in the most conspicuous place in the living room.
There was a jade bracelet, broken on the floor.
Shattered into several pieces.
Shen Zhuo’s face also changed.
That was Jiang Yuening’s favorite bracelet.
He only took it off because he was going to the military headquarters; otherwise, he would wear it even while sleeping.
“Well, let Father pray for himself.” Shen Zhuo directly pulled Du Xun ready to leave, “We’ll go back first…”
Xia Dou obviously didn’t want the rescuers to leave just like that.
Her voice was ten times louder: “Young Master and Commander Du are back!”
Shen Zhuo: …
Shen Zhuo braced himself and addressed Jiang Yuening, whose expression instantly softened upon seeing them: “Dad.”
“Baby!”
Jiang Yuening immediately kicked the alpha away, ran over to hug the boy, and rubbed his soft black hair:
“My baby has lost weight, is school too hard?”
Shen Xuyin coughed a few times, looking around the room.
Awkwardly wanting to interject to mitigate the impression the child just saw.
“Why not guess that Du Xun didn’t take good care of him?”
Jiang Yuening glared directly at him: “Shut up if you can’t speak properly.”
Shen Xuyin: “…”
Fine.
Shut up it is.
Jiang Yuening then looked at Du Xun, eyeing the bags in his hands: “Why did you bring things back?”
Du Xun handed the things to Xia Dou and nodded respectfully:
“Some supplements and gadgets collected from various places, to relieve Shiniang’s boredom.”
“Why still calling me Shiniang?”
Jiang Yuening glanced sideways, his reproaching attitude very gentle.
Du Xun followed kindness like a flow: “Dad.”
Jiang Yuening then happily went to the side to look at those gadgets.
Shen Xuyin walked to Shen Zhuo’s side and kept winking at him.
Shen Zhuo leaned in and heard the alpha whisper quickly: “Little brats, don’t cause trouble here!”
“I haven’t coaxed my wife yet!”
Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Xuyin strangely and replied lightly:
“You coaxing your wife has nothing to do with me.”
The boy was calm, Du Xun remained expressionless, Shen Xuyin gritted his teeth, and Xia Dou watched the drama.
“Okay, okay, consider your dad begging you, put in a good word for me in front of your dad, I’ll definitely get him an identical bracelet!”
Wife is angry, Shen Xuyin doesn’t care about face or dignity anymore.
As majestic and strict as he was back then, he is just as humble now.
Wife, face.
Of course, wife is important! Isn’t that obvious!
Shen Xuyin hurried off to get a new bracelet, while Du Xun whispered agreement to help put in a few good words.
Jiang Yuening just finished looking at the things Du Xun brought, and Shen Xuyin was already nowhere to be found.
His lips moved twice, but he still snorted stubbornly and didn’t ask anything.
“Dad?”
Du Xun shook his head at Shen Zhuo and went up to help Jiang Yuening pick up the bracelet fragments.
Until all the fragments were collected into a sealed bag.
Jiang Yuening lowered his eyes, looking at that bag of fragments.
“You have an answer, right?” Du Xun smiled, “Dad.”
After a long time.
The omega finally said slowly:
“This isn’t something priceless.”
“This is the first gift your father gave me when he was nineteen.”
Jiang Yuening was always gentle, with a calmness after concealing his sharpness.
The slender back, the hair brushing past his brows, had a sense of a broken story.
“Your father has a quick temper and is straightforward. I was surprised myself that I actually followed him, and for twenty-five years.”
Jiang Yuening’s fingertips stroked the bracelet fragments through the bag.
“He is good in every way, except he doesn’t want me to fulfill my dreams.”
Shen Zhuo paused: “Dreams?”
Right, how could an S3 nearly S4 omega not have dreams.
“I want to kill enemies, but I can no longer use a sniper rifle.”
“I want to save people, but your father stops me time and again.”
Jiang Yuening closed his eyes and sighed.
“I know, your father wants me to be well, but I… also have things I want to do.”
At this point, Jiang Yuening paused for a moment:
“This was my thought five years ago.”
Jiang Yuening smiled at Shen Zhuo:
“Now, I am willing to give up some things that I must risk my life to do.”
“In exchange for your and your father’s peace of mind.”
“This is my choice.”
Jiang Yuening raised his palm towards Shen Zhuo, and the boy placed his hands on his palm.
Jiang Yuening wrapped the boy’s hands.
The soft and dry touch, unchanged for so many years.
“What I want to say is—you will be the same in the future.”
“Lovers, family, dreams, and responsibilities, maybe one day will become chips on the balance scale where you can only choose one.”
Jiang Yuening spoke slowly, giving Shen Zhuo plenty of time to think.
“Baby, you have to think clearly about what exactly you want to grasp.”
Shen Zhuo’s expression froze slightly.
Jiang Yuening seemed to be able to read minds better than him.
He was indeed wavering at several crossroads.
Like the volunteer for the special task force—
He chose dreams and responsibilities.
Du Xun spoke up at this moment: “Dad.”
Jiang Yuening turned to look at him.
“I will support all his decisions.” Du Xun looked solemn, “He won’t have any worries.”
“Shen Zhuo just needs to move forward.”
Du Xun said seriously: “I’ll handle everything else.”
Jiang Yuening’s expression moved slightly, and he said something Shen Zhuo didn’t understand yet:
“Can you bear it?”
Du Xun smiled faintly: “I’m not important.”
Jiang Yuening seemed to sense something.
He shook his head at him.
“You are very important.” Jiang Yuening said, “The future you will be more important than his father and me.”
“Things you don’t want to happen to Xiao Zhuo, he won’t want them to happen to you either.”
Shen Zhuo saw Du Xun lower his eyes, eyelashes obscuring his gaze.
Jiang Yuening’s voice was gentle and soothing, brushing past his ears with the cool breeze in the room.
Shen Zhuo squeezed Du Xun’s hand.
Noticing the man’s gaze turning towards him, he met his eyes.
Du Xun smiled and stroked Shen Zhuo’s hair.
At this time, Shen Xuyin burst in from the door:
“I found it! The stone used to make this bracelet is still there! I’ll go have someone make another one right now!”
Jiang Yuening’s expression instantly reverted to icy coldness.
“That’s not the original one either.”
Shen Xuyin looked distressed: “Oh wife, just consider that I didn’t mean it, my hand really slipped! I swear!”
Jiang Yuening turned his head away: “Not listening.”
Shen Xuyin went around to face him again:
“Wife, wife, listen to me, I just bought the white jade vase you always wanted, it’ll be delivered home soon.”
Jiang Yuening’s brow twitched, and he turned his face back.
“Only this?”
“Of course there’s more! You’ll know later.”
Shen Xuyin looked excited that “wife finally paid attention to me”, but when he spoke again, his expression turned serious.
“I want you to be well, wife.”
“I can do without anything else, I just want you healthy. The incident five years ago, I really… can’t accept it happening again.”
Jiang Yuening turned around, sighed, and raised his hand to touch Shen Xuyin’s face.
“Won’t happen, no next time.”
Shen Zhuo was a bit confused.
He knew nothing.
He only remembered that one time five years ago, Jiang Yuening said he was on a business trip and didn’t come back for two whole months. When he came home, he was sickly and recuperated for nearly two years before getting better.
“Two years ago, Shiniang almost couldn’t be saved because of overusing his ability.” Du Xun explained softly.
“I was at the military headquarters at the time and saw it.”
Shen Xuyin’s hands were covered with blood flowing from Jiang Yuening’s gland and mouth.
The general who was so heroic on the battlefield.
Collapsed completely on that day.
Shen Zhuo’s heart suddenly contracted.
He subconsciously looked at Du Xun.
After a few seconds, Shen Zhuo suddenly tightened his grip on Du Xun’s hand and pulled him upstairs.
“I have something to give you.”
