Chapter 365: Chapter 365

Wan Chuer ignored Xiao Bai, hurriedly found a place to call the old man.

When the old man answered the phone, he gave a lukewarm ’hmm,’ making Wan Chuer even more anxious.

"Grandpa, I’m sorry."

Old man: "You’ve grown up, and you’re quite capable."

Wan Chuer: "... No matter how capable, it can’t compare to your little finger. I didn’t mean to hide it from you; it all happened too suddenly, and I haven’t figured out what to do." She felt guilty, not knowing what she was saying.

Old man: "Hmm, you thought about it for nine months, and then came up with two great-grandchildren for me, not bad."

Wan Chuer: "... Grandpa, I was wrong." She really couldn’t withstand the old man.

The old man finally casually said, "Kids grow fast, they change every day, I wonder what I’ll see."

The old man was clearly urging her to hurry back, and Wan Chuer felt the pressure.

Xiao Bai held out for three days, ignoring Wan Chuer, and whenever they crossed paths during those days, he responded with a ’hmph’ from his nose.

Wan Chuer, though itching to react, knew she was indeed at fault this time, so she had to endure it, smiling and hoping this fool would calm down soon.

She thought to herself, I’ll endure you for three days, and after that, I won’t hold back.

Compared to Xiao Bai’s hard stance, Jiang Xiaoxiao was much more lovable; she resumed normal relations with her that very night.

At night, Wan Chuer was feeding the baby, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was next to her, helping burp him.

"Sister-in-law, you’re something else! Canceling the wedding just like that, leaving so cleanly, and the baby just popped out with a snap, and it’s two at once too." Jiang Xiaoxiao was very impressed.

Speaking of canceling the wedding, Wan Chuer felt a bit embarrassed. The Jiang Family had been anticipating and preparing for so long, yet she bailed the day before the wedding. Just thinking about it, she knew how awkward the Jiang Family must have been.

She asked, "Is your mom really disappointed in me?"

She didn’t really care about anyone else, but Mrs. Jiang had always treated her better than her own daughter, and she felt very sorry towards Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Xiaoxiao widened her eyes: "How could you think that? My mom feels very sorry for you. She told me repeatedly to say good things and thank you for not holding grudges and continuing with my brother."

This surprised Wan Chuer. She blinked; what’s going on here? Could it be that Jiang Kechu said something back then?

Jiang Xiaoxiao kept smiling: "You don’t know how happy my mom was when she heard you had kids, eager to announce it to the world, dispelling previous worries, just hoping to see the grandchildren soon."

Wan Chuer laughed awkwardly; she hadn’t finished her studies yet.

That night, Wan Chuer asked Jiang Kechu, "When we canceled the wedding back then, what did you say to your family?"

Jiang Kechu paused and asked back, "Why are you asking this?"

Wan Chuer pushed him, "Just tell me."

Jiang Kechu, a bit unnatural, said, "I told them I was messing around with someone outside and got caught by you."

Throwing dirt on himself?

Wan Chuer didn’t expect this, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment. No wonder Jiang Xiaoxiao said what she did.

"Uncle Jiang, how could you..." Speaking halfway, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Do they just believe that? You’re not usually like that."

She looked at Jiang Kechu suspiciously.

Jiang Kechu smiled and shook his head, knowing his wife wasn’t easy to fool. He said, "I told them I was plied with alcohol."

Being drunk, that’s a bit more believable.

Wan Chuer reached out to hug Jiang Kechu’s waist, moved, and said, "Uncle Jiang, you’re really great."

Always shielding her from the storm, even taking all the blame using self-deprecation.

Jiang Kechu naturally enjoyed the soft embrace, his eyes gleaming, and he took the opportunity to say, "If you’re touched, let’s get married sooner and give me a status."

Upon hearing this, Wan Chuer’s mouth twitched; he was actually asking her for a status.

"Alright, once my confinement ends, we’ll register. It’s quick to register here."

Jiang Kechu laughed and continued, "You know my identity is special; I can’t stay here long-term. It took a lot to get ten days’ leave this time. I’ll miss you and the kids when I go back, and the elders at home will want to see the kids too."

Wan Chuer thought that Xiao Bai would probably urge her once too. But knowing Jiang Kechu would leave soon, she felt a bit reluctant.

"Uncle Jiang, I’ll seriously consider it, just give me some time."

Jiang Kechu didn’t press further, achieving his goal, he said no more. It was rare for his wife to be so gentle, so he couldn’t help but seek some interest.

About returning home, Wan Chuer thought for two days. Returning home was a must; it seemed she didn’t need to continue with the finance master’s degree here. She’d already completed enough credits for computer courses, now just doing some projects with her supervisor.

With the sudden childbirth, Yan Hui had already helped her get a month off. When the leave ended, summer break of three months would start, which was a good time to go back.

After summer break, she needed one more year to complete her studies and earn her degree.

So, she decided to return home once her confinement ended.

The old man was already old, and from the call, she could sense his loneliness. Not knowing how much longer he could interact with the children, she didn’t want to have any regrets.

After she announced her decision to go back, Xiao Bai immediately jumped up and gave her a pat, "Lucky you were smart, or I’d ignore you forever!"

Jiang Kechu was quite displeased seeing Xiao Bai casually pat his wife and immediately grabbed Xiao Bai’s arm.

"Ouch, Jiang, let go!"

"Bro, let go," Jiang Xiaoxiao, not caring about the baby, immediately came to rescue Xiao Bai.

Girls really do tend to side with outsiders!

Jiang Kechu’s face darkened further, and who knew, free Xiao Bai even gloated, "I totally get how you feel now."

With the reconciliation, Xiao Bai could finally speak his mind. He’d long wanted to have a proper talk with Wan Chuer, so everyone could see Xiao Bai following Wan Chuer around, talking non-stop.

He vented his frustration over her sudden disappearance and subsequent silence, then talked about the company’s growth over the year, and asked what Wan Chuer had been up to besides studying.

Riding the wave of the country’s development boom, under Xiao Bai’s exploration, the company’s growth was very promising, showing signs of becoming an industry leader.

Seeing Xiao Bai so proud, Wan Chuer nonchalantly mentioned she made eight million in the stock market, and Xiao Bai was instantly thunderstruck!
