Chapter 441: Chapter 441

Seeing Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu coming over, Xiao Bai said, "Hurry up, we’re just waiting for you two."

Everyone was in a good mood, and the meal was filled with joy and laughter.

During the meal, Old Sir Zhong said to Father Jiang, "Xiao Bai is no longer young. I thought he would stay single for life, but it turns out he has a chance with Xiaoxiao. Although he’s a bit lively, he’s not a bad person.

Both kids are of age, so if you and Grandma Xiao Ya agree, let’s start planning and let them get married soon."

This was helping Xiao Bai propose to Father and Mrs. Jiang. Xiao Bai immediately sat up straight and looked at Father Jiang with bright eyes, while under the table, Jiang Xiaoxiao held Xiao Bai’s hand.

Father Jiang looked at the hopeful Xiao Bai and his daughter, knowing that his daughter had chosen Xiao Bai. He had also noticed that Xiao Bai was genuinely good to his daughter during this time.

Plus, Old Sir Zhong personally suggested it, so what else could Father Jiang hesitate about? He then smiled and said, "I’ll heed your advice."

Before Xiao Bai could rejoice, Father Jiang sternly said to him, "If Xiaoxiao suffers any grievance with you, hmph!"

Xiao Bai immediately swore that he will grow old with Jiang Xiaoxiao, holding her as his treasure for life.

Old Sir Zhong nodded with a smile and said to Xiao Bai, "Find a time to let the families discuss the wedding."

"Yes, Grandpa Zhong, thank you," Xiao Bai replied respectfully.

Wan Chu’er laughed and said, "When you two get married, I’ll give you a big gift."

Xiao Bai said, "At that time, you can bring back Xiao Ya and Xiao Zhuo to be our good luck charms. Next year, we’ll also have twins."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao blushed slightly and pinched his hand.

This guy, already thinking about having two children before they’re even married—it would be great if they could have two adorable little ones like Chuanqi and Hunter.

Seeing Xiao Bai and Jiang Xiaoxiao’s matters settled, Li Shan felt a bit anxious and quietly said to Old Sir Zhong, "I also want to get married."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and Xiao Yu was so shy she couldn’t lift her head.

Old Sir Zhong laughed and said, "If you want to get married, go talk to your future father-in-law."

"Okay," Li Shan thought to himself and decided it was a good idea to visit the Mao family and seek their consent to marry Xiao Yu.

Everyone chatted and laughed until late at night before parting ways. Father and Mrs. Jiang considerately let Jiang Kechu and Wan Chu’er stay at the old house that night, promising to see them off early the next morning.

The next morning, Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu with their two children set off from the old house, accompanied by Li Shan driving them to the airport. They traveled lightly towards the Northwest, having sent most of their luggage ahead by mail.

On the plane, the two little ones were extremely excited. Wan Chu’er deliberately engaged them in conversation, pointing out various things to teach them.

By the time the plane landed, the two little ones had learned a new word: "plane" (pronounced as "fei ji" in Chinese).

Once they got off the plane, they saw Chen Ke waiting for them at the exit, which pleasantly surprised Wan Chu’er. "So Chen Ke is with you too?" Chen Ke had once saved her life, and she knew he was Jiang Kechu’s right-hand man. The source of this content ɪs novel•fire.net

Jiang Kechu nodded, carrying both children in his arms and a large bag on his back, while Wan Chu’er pushed a suitcase towards Chen Ke.

Upon reaching them, Chen Ke shyly called her "sister-in-law," then without hesitation took the suitcase from her hand.

Wan Chu’er didn’t stand on ceremony with him. She turned around and picked up Hunter, then taught Hunter and Chuanqi to call Chen Ke "Uncle." Hunter shyly glanced at Chen Ke before turning to hug his mother’s neck, while Chuanqi was outgoing and immediately greeted with a "Hello, Uncle."

A big smile spread across Chen Ke’s face as he reached into his pocket and handed toys to both Hunter and Chuanqi.

Hunter’s toy was a bullet shell made into a small car model, and Chuanqi’s gift was a necklace made from a bullet shell.

Upon seeing the gifts, Hunter’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Thank you, Uncle." Chuanqi was equally curious and played with the toy, full of interest.

They arrived at the parking lot, placed their luggage in the trunk, got into the car, and headed towards the city center.

Only then did Jiang Kechu speak, "You’ll temporarily stay in the city. Life is more convenient here. Get used to the environment for a while. If you find it boring, you can come to visit me at the base."

Wan Chu’er was a bit surprised. She thought they would be heading directly to live in the family quarters at the base, but with Chen Ke there, she couldn’t ask Jiang Kechu what was going on.

Moreover, Jiang Kechu was right; the kids need a transition period to avoid any issues adapting to the environment. Living in the city is indeed more convenient if any medical attention is needed.

She thought it over and asked, "How far is your base from here?"

"Four hundred kilometers," Jiang Kechu replied. "If you drive fast, it’ll take six or seven hours. There’s a family shuttle bus that goes back and forth each week between the city and the base."

As long as there’s a shuttle, it should be okay. The journey by this shuttle bus must take seven or eight hours one way. It’s really far, and she’s not sure if the kids could endure such a journey.

Wan Chu’er thought privately that once they settled in, she would buy a car. A sedan is always more comfortable than a shuttle.

After driving for an hour, they entered a nice neighborhood and stopped in front of a medium-high building.

Jiang Kechu smiled and said, "We’re home."

The building had an elevator which took them to the top floor. As the door opened, a spacious and bright living room came into view. The decor was simple yet detailed, with even a play area for children in one corner of the living room.

Chen Ke put down the luggage and said, "Sister-in-law, I had a cleaning service tidy up the place yesterday. You can settle in and freshen up." With that, he turned to leave, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Hunter and Chuanqi waved lively goodbyes as Chen Ke left.

Seeing the clean floor, Wan Chu’er put the kids down, and they immediately bounced off like little ponies towards the play area.

Jiang Kechu took her hand and led her inside the room.

Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but hold her forehead. This man was too eager. She said, "The kids are still here, broad daylight."

Jiang Kechu was momentarily stunned, then he laughed and hugged Wan Chu’er. He whispered, "Alright, we’ll wait until they’re asleep tonight. Let me show you around our new home first."

Wan Chu’er then realized she’d misunderstood. She let out a humph and walked ahead.

The house had four bedrooms, apart from their master bedroom, there were the nursery for Chuanqi and Hunter, a large study, and a guest room.

Furthermore, there was a small storage room, currently empty except for a ladder.

Jiang Kechu pointed at the ladder and said, "There’s a small attic above. In it, there’s a safe where I’ve stored some money. If you need it, you can go get it."

Wan Chu’er laughed, "How much money are you hiding up there with all these secretive measures—an attic and a safe?"

"There’s three hundred thousand in cash and a savings account book, and the password is your birthday."

Wan Chu’er said without reserve, "Good job, keep it up in the future."

Actually, she didn’t lack this bit of money. After selling her shares in Hailang, she bought a bunch of properties in Beijing and rented them out, earning a considerable rental income every month. Plus, she still had a lot of money left in her bank account.

However, Jiang Kechu’s gesture was heartfelt, as the head of the household providing for his wife and children, so Wan Chu’er accepted it gladly without any qualms.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard Chuanqi crying outside. Both of them immediately changed their expressions and rushed out.

They saw little Chuanqi sitting on the floor crying, while Hunter stood awkwardly not moving.

"What’s wrong, sweetheart?" Wan Chu’er picked up little Chuanqi. Jiang Kechu directly twisted Hunter’s ear, sternly saying, "Did you bully your sister, you little rascal?"

Not knowing whether it was Jiang Kechu scaring him or something else, Hunter also opened his mouth and started crying.

Both little ones couldn’t articulate what happened, but after a while, little Chuanqi reached out for her brother, and the two of them made up.

Wan Chu’er seized the opportunity to admonish Jiang Kechu, "In the future, don’t scold Hunter without finding out the facts. Otherwise, whatever you do to Hunter, I’ll do to you."

Jiang Kechu hurriedly replied, "Understood. I’ll listen to you." Yet inside, he thought this little rascal was really pampered; he’ll need some toughening up in the future. A real man sheds blood, not tears!
