Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Extra (Final)

Wang Tianxue had no choice but to recount last week’s events to Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia glanced at He JianShe and then at Granny Su, seeming to understand something.

Then she looked at the still clueless Wang Tianxue, smiling somewhat mischievously.

"Since you have someone here to help, I’ll go and attend to the guests for you."

Wang Tianxue wanted Lin Chuxia to help make He JianShe leave, but Lin Chuxia didn’t even give her a look.

The meal was quickly prepared.

She had to admit, Wang Tianxue gained a new appreciation for He JianShe’s cooking skills.

If he hadn’t stayed in the cooking squad, she wouldn’t have believed it.

Old Master He saw He JianShe busy in the kitchen, smiling so widely his eyes curved into slits.

During lunch, he even brought out two bottles of his treasured wine.

The meal was lively and joyful, and after everyone was full and satisfied, Granny Su suddenly spoke up.

"My dear girl, today I came not only to warm your home but for another matter."

Wang Tianxue instinctively sat up straight.

She had known about Granny Su before; all the landmark factory names in Xiyang came from Granny Su’s hands.

Speaking of Granny Su’s works, Wang Tianxue, who grew up in An City, had heard many stories.

But she had only heard of her by name; today was the first time she saw her in person.

"What is it, Granny Su?" Wang Tianxue asked politely.

Granny Su glanced at Old Master He and then at He JianShe.

"It’s like this, today I was also entrusted by someone to make a matchmaking introduction. It’s about He JianShe beside you. This child, I’ve watched him grow up, he’s a good kid, just that he’s still all alone now. Yesterday, he came to An City to tell me he has a girl he’s fond of but didn’t know how to approach her, so here I am to help him."

Old Master He looked somewhat disdainfully at his son, then expectantly at Wang Tianxue.

Granny Su continued, "I know speaking out suddenly today is abrupt. I’m only here to speak on his behalf; whether you agree or not, it’s completely up to you. There’s no need to pay attention to us; marriage is a lifelong matter, whether it’s suitable or not, you have to decide for yourself."

Wang Tianxue really didn’t expect Granny Su to say such things to her and instinctively glanced at He JianShe.

Sitting at today’s table, there were two empty chairs left; she and He JianShe naturally ended up sitting next to each other.

Only now did she notice that at some point, He JianShe had put on his uniform again.

Sitting there upright, like a new recruit waiting for a leader’s speech.

"Alright, I’ve said what needed to be said, the meal is over, and we should be leaving," Granny Su said, standing up after she finished speaking.

Old Master He wanted to wait for an outcome, but with just one look from Granny Su, he had to follow along and leave.

Soon, the room was left with just He JianShe and Wang Tianxue; even Xiao Long was taken out by Wang Tianyu on the pretext of helping to see the guests off.

He JianShe stood straight, lowered his head to look at the woman still somewhat bewildered, and spoke slowly and calmly.

"I’m sorry to talk about this so suddenly today. Tianxue, whether you believe it or not, from the first time I saw you, I’ve had you on my mind. It’s not about the saying ’three years in the army makes even a sow attractive,’ but because I have a very strong intuition that I want to face the future with you. I had intended to approach you slowly, develop feelings gradually, but I found I couldn’t wait. Tianxue, can you understand how I feel?"

Hearing him mention that saying about the army, Wang Tianxue couldn’t help but laugh.

She looked at the man with disdain, "Do you dare say you haven’t been inching closer to me step by step?"

She always felt something was odd before.

Previously, they were just acquaintances who nodded to each other, at most, she addressed him as a senior through Lin Chuxia.

Yet after their chance encounter at the department store, she kept feeling indebted to this man, which made her feel quite guilty.

Really, she was sold and even helped count the money.

He JianShe chuckled, "You’re worth all my efforts. So, what do you think of me?"

He suddenly stood upright, loudly declaring, "I, He JianShe, stand 1.86 meters tall, weigh 76 kilograms, don’t smoke or drink, have no bad habits, currently serve as the director of the Yan City Police Department, with a monthly salary of 867.54 yuan. Comrade Wang Tianxue, are you willing to date me?"

Wang Tianxue suddenly covered her eyes with laughter, unable to watch.

She believed this big goofball had never dated anyone before.

Her wrist was gently grasped and pulled down, forcing her to meet those sincere eyes.

Wang Tianxue couldn’t suppress her laughter, "Granny Su said she wouldn’t force me, to just follow my own wishes."

He JianShe seriously nodded, "I won’t force you, but you have to tell me yes or no, I’m a bit anxious."

Wang Tianxue, "..."

Suddenly, she found the idea of living with this big goofball quite interesting.

He JianShe could see the woman’s hesitance, "If you’re too shy to say it, just nod, otherwise I’ll take it as you agreeing."

Wang Tianxue, unable to hold it any longer, rolled her eyes, "I don’t think you were in the army; you must have been a bandit."

He JianShe laughed heartily, pulling her into his arms, "I knew you’d agree, I’m just impatient. Since I’m in a hurry, being a bandit isn’t out of the question, I’ve got a lifetime to treat you well, treat you right..."

Suddenly embraced, the unique scent of the man filled her senses.

His embrace was broad and strong.

Wang Tianxue found a sudden sense of contentment.

This feeling seemed long absent in her life.

.............

Downstairs, Lin Chuxia first saw off Su Wensong and Granny Su and then helped Old Master He into the car.

Wang Tianyu came over, "Mr. Lin, I received a letter this morning that was meant for you."

Lin Chuxia took the letter, its cover clean, but the handwriting was familiar.

She opened the letter directly, finding only a few short lines inside.

Qin Yang noticed her expression change and asked, "Whose letter is it?"

Lin Chuxia raised her gaze, "It’s from Gu Peng, he’s left."
