Chapter 505: Chapter 505

Everyone knew that Jiang Kechu’s words were just an excuse, and Wan Chu’er’s displeasure just now was obvious. After a moment of surprise, Mrs. Jiang said, "Then hurry and take Xiao Chu back." Father Jiang then told his wife, "Pack up for Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Ya."

The adults had to leave, so naturally, the children had to follow.

Wei Feng’s eyes flickered as he lowered his head, yet Grandpa Jiang intentionally pointed it out, "What business? Obviously, it’s because the old man like me is unhappy. Every time she comes here, she throws a tantrum. Let Xiao Ya and Xiao Zhuo stay at home with Ke Chu today."

Jiang Kechu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he called out, "Grandpa, don’t overthink it. Chu’er is not like that."

Hearing his grandson defend Wan Chu’er and retort him, the old man snorted, then asked, "And what about you? Where are you staying tonight? Don’t tell me you’re going to Wan Chu’er’s parent’s house too. I think you should just be the one to move in there."

The more he spoke, the worse it got, with a sarcastic tone, making the atmosphere awkward. The twins looked in confusion at their great-grandfather, and Wei Feng quietly put down his chopsticks, shrinking her presence.

Jiang Kechu’s expression turned cold as he said, "Grandpa, you’re overthinking it. Chu’er and I have a home at Jinse Garden, and we’ll go to our own home tonight."

Father Jiang also spoke up, "Dad, don’t say things like that in the future."

Seeing that neither his son nor grandson sided with him, the old man was so angry that he wanted to throw his chopsticks, but he feared being sent to Second or Third’s house again, so in the end, he just pulled a long face and stopped talking.

Jiang Kechu took a child in each hand and started walking out. Mrs. Jiang, worried, still followed them outside. Wei Feng initially intended to go out as well, but after thinking it over, decided to remain seated.

Outside, Wan Chu’er was already waiting. Seeing the children, she walked over to hold Chuanqi’s little hand.

Although the previous harmonious scene between Mrs. Jiang and Wei Feng still tugged at her heart, she glanced at Jiang Kechu and Mrs. Jiang’s concerned face and adjusted her mood to bid goodbye to Mrs. Jiang.

"Mom, I’m not in a good mood today, so I’ll leave first."

Mrs. Jiang was taken aback. Her son had just said Wan Chu’er had something to do, but it seemed the two of them hadn’t reached an agreement. Could there be some misunderstanding between them?

"Xiao Chu, if Kechu upset you, don’t keep it bottled up. If you can’t tell him, you can tell me, and I’ll talk to him for you." Read full story at novel-fire.ɴet

Hearing Mrs. Jiang’s words, Wan Chu’er felt a mix of heartache and helplessness. Mrs. Jiang had always been good to her, just sometimes too oblivious or too simplistic in her thoughts.

She thought for a moment and decided to clarify, "Mom, I knew before I got together with Jiang Kechu that he and Wei Feng were once in a relationship for four years. So, seeing Wei Feng here, how could I not overthink it? You can call me petty or not magnanimous or purposefully finding trouble; I just don’t like seeing Wei Feng laughing and chatting beside Jiang Kechu."

Jiang Kechu originally intended to stop her but didn’t have time. He felt Wan Chu’er was making trouble out of nothing.

Mrs. Jiang was stunned by Wan Chu’er’s words, taking a long time to react. Was Wan Chu’er’s upset today because Wei Feng came to the house?

After Wan Chu’er finished speaking, she softly said, "We’ll leave first," and led the children out.

In a corner of the living room, Wei Feng stood by the wall, having heard every word Wan Chu’er said. She wasn’t sure if she felt happy or unhappy.

She was just pondering whether Jiang Kechu would be affected, whether the Jiang Family would be affected, or if they could avoid her in the future.

With two children present, Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu tacitly agreed not to discuss what had just happened.

Chuanqi asked his mom, "Mom, when can we play with Brother Yanyan again? And the little brother and Sister Erya?"

"...Do you like Brother Yanyan?"

"Yes, I do. Whatever I ask Brother Yanyan to do, he’ll do it," Chuanqi said happily.

"...Maybe in a while," Wan Chu’er replied, thinking about how long Chen Ke would stay in Beijing. He would probably return to the Northwest with Jiang Kechu.

Hearing their conversation, Jiang Kechu frowned and asked, "Who’s Yanyan?"

"Chen Ke’s nephew, whom we met at the amusement park today." Talking about Chen Ke, Wan Chu’er remembered Mrs. Mai’s contentment with Chen Ke and asked, "Is Chen Ke not on good terms with his family?"

"Why do you ask that?" Jiang Kechu found it a bit strange.

Wan Chu’er answered honestly, "Mrs. Mai seems quite satisfied with Chen Ke, and she seems interested in Mai Qiqi getting to know him better."

Mai Qiqi and Chen Ke?

Jiang Kechu found it odd, picturing the carefree and somewhat clueless Mai Qiqi. Were she and Chen Ke a match?

"What do you think?" Wan Chu’er pressed.

"...If they’re really into each other, nothing else matters. Just don’t get involved," Jiang Kechu said with slight discontent. He hadn’t seen her for over two months, and now that he was back, instead of dealing with her moods, she was concerning herself with other people’s affairs. Her focus wasn’t on him at all.

What does he mean by I’m interfering?

Feeling unhappy, Wan Chu’er gave him a sidelong glance and couldn’t be bothered to talk further.

Just then, she quickly said that her hand was grabbed by Hunter’s little hand, and as she looked down, she saw Hunter trying hard to lean towards her to say something.

Wan Chu’er leaned in and asked, "Mom, are you hungry? I’ve got an apple in my little bag."

Both Hunter and Chuanqi had small bags hanging slantwise from their necks. Hunter, being thoughtful, noticed that their mom hadn’t eaten much today.

Hearing her son’s words, Wan Chu’er was momentarily stunned, a warmth spreading in her heart. She reached out to pat her son’s head, smiling as she said, "Thank you," and then retrieved a small apple from his bag.

Seeing his mom actually take a bite, Hunter’s eyes immediately squinted in happiness.

Suddenly, Wan Chu’er realized the road was wrong and asked Jiang Kechu, "Where are we going?"

"Home, to Jinse Garden."

"...Jinse Garden hasn’t been lived in for a while; it needs a good cleaning before we can stay there. It’s getting late, let’s go to the old house."

"I had it cleaned before I came back," Jiang Kechu said without turning his head. There’s no room to move around at the old house, can’t have fun.

Alright, Jinse Garden it is, Wan Chu’er thought, pulling out her phone to send a text to Li Shan.

Upon reaching home, sure enough, the house was spotless, with new bed linens in the bedrooms.

Wan Chu’er took the two children to the bathroom to wash up, with Jiang Kechu following behind. The two kids loved playing with their dad, making the bathroom quite lively.

Remembering the afternoon’s events at the Jiang Family, Wan Chu’er quietly said, "In the future, you’re not allowed to wash up or play with Chuanqi and Hunter alongside other women."

Jiang Kechu was taken aback, not expecting his wife to still be thinking about what had happened earlier. He felt a bit helpless but didn’t want to upset her again, so he nodded in agreement.
