258 Why is There a Scar? (1/2)
General Lin was lifting his cup to his lips when he heard Mingyue's news. Suddenly, the tea stuck at his throat, and General Lin was coughing heavily.
”Dad! Are you alright?” Mingyue passed her father a napkin and then patted him softly on his back.
Soon, General Lin stopped coughing. He turned to look at Mingyue with a frown. ”You're married? How can you be married?” He remembered how small Mingyue was when they found her. Six years ago, she was a teenager! Mingyue was at the age where she was supposed to be in school, studying!
Suddenly, he started to criticized Mingyue's biological parents in his heart. How can they allow a kid to get married?
As if understanding her father's thought, Mingyue smiled. Dad, the legal age in my world isn't like here. In my world, the marriageable age is earlier than in this world.”
General Lin paused in his movement. After giving it a thought, he took a deep breath and exhaled. ”Forget it. I should not find it strange. At that age, you already know so much about medicine and surgery.” However, in a second, the General's expression changed again. ”You said that he had come to find you. Does it mean that you are planning to return to your world?”
”Yes.”
Although General Lin was expecting that answer, he still thought that it was hard to believe. ”You know how?”
”I don't. But, Yang Yun knows how to do it,” Mingyue answered.
General Lin went quiet for a long time. Minutes passed by, and Mingyue was getting worried by his silence. Just as she was about to call her father, General Lin asked, ”When are you leaving?”
”In three months.”
…
As Jiang Mingyue woke up, she wrapped her arms around Yang Yun's waist and snuggled into his embrace. Looking at how his wife behaved, Yang Yun let out a chuckle.
”You're still sleeping?” Yang Yun asked. ”Don't you have to go to work today?”
Mingyue shook her head. ”No. A colleague exchanged her shift with me. So, I'm off work today,” she said. ”Let's stay this way a while longer. Besides, my sister and Brother Xue are planning to get a marriage certificate this afternoon. I wanted to be there with them.”
Yang Yun smiled. He planted a kiss on Mingyue's on top of her head as he ran his finger along her silky, long hair.
”I almost forgot. My parents wanted to meet you again,” Mingyue said. She looked at his confused expression and smiled. ”When I told my dad that you're actually my husband, he said that he wanted to meet his son-in-law.”
”Alright,” Yang Yun agreed quickly. ”You arrange a meeting for us.”
Mingyue nodded before she continued to burrow her face on his chest. After a while, Mingyue sat up abruptly. She pulled the blanket to cover her body and pushed off the sheet from Yang Yun's body.
