Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife - Chapter 717: Tired of Looking?

Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Tired of Looking?

Isn’t that right?

Jia Liang got married and had children in his thirties.

Older men tend to be more nurturing, not just towards their wives, but they’re also more patient with their children.

Not to mention Old Mrs. Jia, who naturally loves children, and as her oldest grandson, she expresses her affection abundantly.

And most importantly, there’s Ningning, the older sister.

The whole family had a lively lunch.

Mrs. Qin planned to stay here for two days, even though her daughter was very capable and didn’t need her care, she still wanted to show her heartfelt gestures.

Old Mrs. Jia was eager for this, as she always got along well with Mrs. Qin.

In the afternoon, Qin Yang had to go to work. Lin Chuxia and Qi Qi planned to go back with him.

While Lin Chuxia was speaking with Qin Juan, Mrs. Qin called Qin Yang aside.

If she didn’t get to the bottom of this, she feared she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

Looking at her tall little son, Mrs. Qin lowered her voice and said, “Our second, your wife brought me here today, but also brought a man along. Do you know about this? She said he’s her employee.”

“Is it Tianyu?”

Wang Tianyu was Lin Chuxia’s assistant, entrusted with many tasks by her.

Previously, Qin Yang felt uneasy about this pretty boy buzzing around his wife.

But with Wang Tianyu present, a significant portion of Lin Chuxia’s workload was lifted, giving her more time with him and their children, easing his discomfort.

“Of course I know Tianyu. It’s not him,” Mrs. Qin said seriously, “That man looks much older than Tianyu, probably about the same age as you. Chuxia said he’s similar to Tianyu, but I don’t quite get how. In my eyes, there’s no way that man and Tianyu could be alike. Whenever you see Tianyu, he’s clean and crisp, reportedly a college student who speaks kindly, whereas that man was in ragged clothes with long hair, looking like a beggar picked up off the streets. Chuxia even said she’s giving him a 200 yuan advance for clothes. I know Chuxia means well; she cared for both Jia Liang and Houzi back then. But one must always be cautious, right? A young girl dealing with a grown man is bound to be at a disadvantage…”

Mrs. Qin was worried her words might be resented, but she truly worried about Lin Chuxia.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang frowned slightly but knew his wife was always prudent, “Mom, I understand. I’ll give Chuxia a reminder later.”

“Okay, talk it over well. Also, you need to stay aware; Chuxia is such a good girl, you can’t let her down.”

Seeing that man today, despite his shabby clothes and unmanaged hair, his face was still quite good-looking.

Mrs. Qin glanced at her own youngest son.

Hmm, maybe he was still a bit inferior to her son.

Though, if it drags on over time, perhaps they’ll get tired of it, huh?

As her youngest son was about to leave the room, something suddenly struck her, “By the way, I heard Chuxia call that man Gu Peng.”

Qin Yang’s steps suddenly halted, and he turned back, “Gu Peng?”

Mrs. Qin nodded, “That seems to be the name.”

“Alright, I’ve got it.”

………………

On the way back, Lin Chuxia once again felt how her older sister marrying Jia Liang was the right choice.

Qin Yang now fully approved of her opinion.

As the saying goes, “Time reveals true character.”

Since Jia Liang married her sister, he has always prioritized her, never letting her sister suffer any grievances.

Old Mrs. Jia treated her sister like her own daughter.

The Jia Family was simple, with little for her sister to worry about.

Thinking of her sister, Qin Yang thought of himself and casually asked, “I heard from mom that you brought a new employee back. Why recruit someone new in An City?”

“Oh, there’s too much work under my charge; Wang Tianyu can’t handle it alone. I plan to train a new assistant so I can have more time with you and Qi Qi.”

Lin Chuxia played with her daughter’s little hand in a playful manner. When she looked up and saw Qin Yang was gazing at her, she waved Qi Qi’s little hand and mimicked a pitch, saying, “Have you been missing us lately? Was Minister Qin tossing and turning sleeplessly alone? Qi Qi also missed daddy, didn’t you Qi Qi?”

Looking into her bright and sparkling eyes, and then at their daughter with similarly big eyes, Qin Yang chuckled softly.

He reached out to stroke her head and then the little head of their daughter, saying, “Good girl.”

……………

Lin Chuxia gave Gu Peng two days off and took two days of rest herself at home.

On the third morning, Gu Peng showed up at the residential compound as agreed.

Lin Chuxia was in the yard playing with Qi Qi; Yuan Bao barked at the door upon hearing the noise.

“Yuan Bao,” Lin Chuxia called out, noticing through the crack that it was Gu Peng, “Come in.”

Yuan Bao was very obedient; as long as the owner gave the nod, even to a complete stranger, it would obediently let them enter, though it remained somewhat vigilant.

Lin Chuxia didn’t pay it much mind, assessing Gu Peng as he entered.

This outfit was clearly newly bought, but…

“Where did you buy those clothes?”

Following her gaze, Gu Peng looked down, tugging at the collar.

“There’s a market near where I live, selling all sorts of things, so I got everything together there,” he added, “I think it’s pretty good.”

It was indeed much better than what he wore before.

Though that market sold only the lowest-grade clothing, with Lin Chuxia’s current status, she definitely wouldn’t be seen wearing those.

And for Gu Peng, who was to be by Lin Chuxia’s side in the future, these clothes were inappropriate.

It’s her fault she hadn’t explained it clearly.

“Alright, it’s fine. We’ll first head over to Xiyang Clothing Factory to take a look.”

Xiyang Clothing Factory now served as the core industry of Lin Chuxia in Yan City.

Over the past six months, both the factory’s scale and achievements were outstanding.

The leaders of Yan City placed great importance on it, even considering it a key enterprise for the city.

Though the factory was managed by Wang Tianxue, there were many times she, as the CEO, still had to step in.

Lin Chuxia hadn’t visited the factory for a while; a few days ago, Wang Tianxue called her to discuss this matter.

With no pressing business today, Lin Chuxia decided to bring little Qi Qi along.

The little one loved going out with mommy, every time they rode in the car, she was as cheerful as a little sun.

“Soon, I’ll get you a mentor, and you can take some time to get your driver’s license,”

Lin Chuxia said to Gu Peng while driving.

And Gu Peng sat stiffly, looking down at the child in his arms.

A tiny girl – her child.

Little Qi Qi was not timid at all, playing with the rattle in Gu Peng’s arms and even offering her moist little biscuit to his lips.

Gu Peng was taken aback for a while, finally grasped her little hand, redirecting the biscuit back towards her own mouth.
