Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2603: Chapter 2539: Asking for a House

Does this mean he has to hand over the house now?

This Guan Tiezhu is quite straightforward too.

Cheng Cheng said helplessly, "You sit tight for a moment, I’ll call that girl to check the situation."

He didn’t know what she was up to this time.

When Chiang Xiao received the call, she had just finished eating. She cooked the meal herself, also making portions for Ding Haijing and Luo Yongsheng.

"Little, I just got the stuff..."

As soon as she heard his voice, Chiang Xiao immediately interrupted, "Did you put on the Zhuzhu? I’m telling you, don’t lose it, make sure to wear it."

"Wait, didn’t you say it was a peace charm?"

"I hid the peace charm inside the wooden bead. Brother Lin Zi designed this little bead with a hidden secret. If someone doesn’t know about it, they definitely can’t figure it out."

This was something Xu Lin sent to her, saying it was a little gadget he had come up with. It didn’t seem to have a purpose, but knowing Chiang Xiao liked these intriguing little things, and his specialty was woodwork, he could only use wood to craft something playful for her.

Just like the wooden bookmark before.

Of course, now that wooden bookmark had become another source of his income.

Because of this, he was even more motivated, occasionally researching some tricks, then making a few to send to Chiang Xiao.

This small wooden bead was one of them. Xu Lin felt that his little invention was quite useless, but after Chiang Xiao received it, she discovered that there was a tiny hollow inside the bead that allowed her to roll up a small, thin peace charm and tuck it inside.

Once the wood bead was snapped closed, it didn’t look like there was any secret within.

So, even if others saw the wooden bead that Cheng Cheng was wearing, they wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

This kind of wooden bead peace charm, she also had Guan Tiezhu deliver to Sixth Young Master Jiang’s hands, instructing him to pass it to Old Master Jiang.

Old Master Jiang’s recent actions made Chiang Xiao feel he truly cared for Jiang Liu, and so she didn’t want him to appear either.

The Jiang Family is now surrounded by wolves, she felt quite worried.

"What? Something so interesting..." Cheng Cheng, hearing her explanation, focused intently to look at the wooden bead, finally noticing a tiny seam hardly visible unless examined closely.

The craftsmanship is really impressive.

Chiang Xiao seemed to know what he was thinking and immediately said, "Don’t even think about trying to take it apart. If you dismantle it too many times, it won’t fit together perfectly anymore. Besides, I’ve already told you, inside is just a peace charm."

"Yes, I understand," Cheng Cheng laughed.

He had indeed wanted to take it apart to check just now, but since Chiang Xiao said so, he dismissed the idea.

Chiang Xiao thought of the matter she had asked Guan Tiezhu to convey earlier, and immediately asked, "Did Guan Tiezhu pass on my words?"

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask, what do you plan to do with the house across the river?"

"Just in case, you know, if I ever decide to sneak over suddenly, and going to D state isn’t very convenient, staying in an inn would draw too much attention. After all, a young and beautiful girl like me, staying in an inn with a bodyguard, is too conspicuous. Wouldn’t it be perfect to have a place to stay?"

"You even want to sneak over yourself..." Cheng Cheng’s face immediately darkened.

Chiang Xiao quickly interrupted him, "Didn’t you hear me? I said with a bodyguard, with a bodyguard, not by myself."

"Whether you have a bodyguard or not, you can’t just secretly come over. Before you do, you must contact me and my godfather first."
