Chapter 430
Chapter 430 - Commander Xiao was so angry that his face turned green. (1)
Old Mr. Wen found Wen Rugui’s attitude irritating. As the saying goes, the eunuch is worrying more than the emperor.
Oh, pei, he is no eunuch!
“Don’t be so lackadaisical about it. You are turning 26 after the new Year. When I was your age, your dad was already running around in the backyard in his naked butt and you aren’t even engaged yet. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
Wen Rugui, “……”
They were in the same family. Wasn’t that a bit much?
Because of Old Mr. Wen’s nagging, Wen Rugui’s pressure mounted and he lost sleep that night.
The next day, it was customary to wait at home for other relatives to visit or to visit other relatives. Nevertheless, Wen Rugui couldn’t just sit around. He tidied himself up and headed over to the Tong’s again.
Old Mr. Wen, instead of getting upset at him, was happy to see that he finally had it figured out.
Tong Xuelu was still in bed when Wen Rugui arrived.
She had no time off regularly. Naturally, she was going to sleep in on her rare day off.
Wen Rugui had no heart to wake her up so he waited quietly in the living room.
Not expecting that Wen Rugui would be over again and so early, Commander Xiao’s face was long like an old cucumber. “You sure come frequently.”
Wen Rugui, “As I should.”
“……” Commander Xiao was speechless for a second there. “As often as you come over, perhaps you should just marry into the family.”
He felt for certain that Wen Rugui would find his words offensive. Lo and behold, Wen Rugui gave it some serious thoughts.
He pondered over it some and said, “I have no problems with that as long as Grandpa Xiao can convince my grandpa.”
Commander Xiao, “……” That was certainly nonsense if he had ever heard any.
For a while there, neither one of them uttered a word and the living room was eerily quiet.
Commander Xiao looked him up and down with his sharp eyes. “Had Xuelu and I not found each other, her social status did not meet that of the Wen family. Does that not bother you before?”
Wen Rugui shook his head. “She is the one I care about, not her family background.”
Wen Rugui had always found it a strange custom to delve into someone’s background before they get married. It was as though they were marrying the family background instead of the person themselves.
Commander Xiao harrumphed but was at least pleased by the answer. “And after you two are married, are you going to have Xuelu cook for you everyday while you sit around and do nothing?”
Wen Rugui shook his head again. “No, I am learning how to cook at home right now.”
Ever since he heard her saying that a man who could cook was special, he had been cooking whenever he had free time.
Sadly, he was generally very busy and had very little time to be home. He was only able to make some very simple dishes and they tasted nothing like hers.
Commander Xiao harrumphed again. “I hope you are a man of your words and not just the do as I say type!”
Wen Rugui, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Xiao. I will stick to my words.”
Tong Mianmian rubbed her eyes as she walked inside and asked quizzically, “What is Little(Xiao) Grandpa? Is it because grandpa is younger? So who is Big (older) Grandpa? Grandpa Wen?”
Wen Rugui, “……”
Commander Xiao was so mad that he was breathing loudly through his nose. “……”
He was big grandpa. Who was that Old Man Wen that was above him?
Tong Xuelu slept until 10 AM and Wen Rugui and Commander Xiao had already been staring at each other for 2 hours.
She walked out in her new clothes and was a little surprised when she saw Wen Rugui. “How come you are over so early?”
She had guests over today and was going to barbeque in the backyard.
Every since she had transmigrated over, the Wei family, Wen Rugui, Pu Jianyi, Fang Jingyuan and others had helped her a lot. In addition, she had yet to make the announcement after she had reunited with her grandfather. She thought she would take this opportunity to share the news.
In addition to those, she had also invited Jiang Danhung.
Jiang Danhung’s parents and her brother had passed away and her other relatives had either been sent to the farm or do not interact with her. She was alone in Capital City.
That being said, the barbeque wasn’t supposed to start until the late afternoon. She was a little surprised that Wen Rugui was there so early.
