Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Entrustments Before Departure

Jiang Kechu stroked her hair.

Finally having won the beauty’s heart, but barely spending a few days together, they had to part ways—Jiang Kechu felt somewhat guilty toward Wan Chu’er.

After some thought, Jiang Kechu admonished, "During this period, don’t go anywhere alone. Do everything with Mai Qiqi, and that Mr. Zhang of yours isn’t bad either. If there’s anything, talk to him."

Wan Chu’er nodded obediently. She seemed to always run into trouble and each time Jiang Kechu had to come to her rescue, so in this respect, she had nothing to say but to listen.

Jiang Kechu added, "If anything happens after you get back to Beijing, go look for Xiaoxiao and Xiao Shan."

Upon this, he remembered the pretty boy living at Wan Chu’er’s house and nearly forgot about him, so Jiang Kechu asked,

"The other day when I went to your place looking for you, it was a pretty boy who opened the door. Who is he?"

He had already heard some from Jiang Xiaoxiao, but still wanted to hear what Wan Chu’er had to say.

"Pretty boy?" Wan Chu’er hesitated, "I have a Second Cousin in Wutong County who has been very good to me. Recently, he came to Beijing just to help me. Now that I’m not at home, I am letting him stay at my place to save him the expense of staying at a hotel."

"Is there something wrong? There’s no misunderstanding between you and Second Brother, right? Second Brother is a very good person. When we were in Wutong, he took great care of our family. Even my mother’s funeral was arranged with his help. When there’s a chance in the future, I will definitely introduce you two."

Wan Chu’er obviously felt great affection for the pretty boy. Remembering the punch he threw before leaving, Jiang Kechu touched his nose guiltily, and then composed himself, spilling all the beans.

"What?" Wan Chu’er was quite annoyed, "How could you hit Second Brother without understanding the situation?"

Jiang Kechu quickly explained, "I was just jealous at that time, I certainly won’t be so impulsive again in the future."

"Jealous, my foot!" Wan Chu’er yelled at him.

Recalling how forcefully Jiang Kechu had hit, she asked, "Did you break Second Brother’s nose with that punch?"

Jiang Kechu chuckled, "Definitely not, I wouldn’t hit that hard."

Wan Chu’er glared at him, too angry to even bother with him.

"Don’t you know how good Second Brother has been to me? How could you hit him! You’re making me furious. Second Brother is the best relative I have in this world, I don’t want to see him hurt, especially not by you."

Jiang Kechu listened, quite jealous, but dared not show it, repeatedly apologizing and promising never to lay a hand on the pretty boy again.

Thinking that Jiang Kechu would soon be going away on a mission again, she didn’t want him to be distracted by this, so she just gave him a twist as punishment, planning to make it up to Pretty Boy when she got back to Beijing.

Speaking of Pretty Boy, Wan Chu’er started to miss him, her own little nook in Beijing, and also wondered if her game had launched and how it was being received in the market.

Jiang Kechu let Wan Chu’er vent, then said, "The room you live in is so small, it must be so inconvenient for two people to live there, especially a man and a woman."

Saying that, he put on a pitiful look, "Think about it, I’m already helpless not being able to stay by your side. If on top of that I imagine you and a man coming and going together every day, I’d be so upset."

Wan Chu’er replied irritably, "That’s my Second Brother. Rest assured, once I go back, he will no longer stay at my place. He also complains that my nook is too cramped for two people."

Jiang Kechu immediately brightened up, thinking to himself that the kid finally showed some sense.

"You know, I have an apartment in your complex as well. Once you’re back, I’ll have someone give you the keys. From now on, you can move in there and give your small place to Xiao Bai. That way, he won’t have to look for a place to stay when he’s in Beijing."

He appeared to be considering entirely for the sake of Wan Chu’er and Xiao Bai, his expression earnest to the extreme.

Wan Chu’er squinted and asked skeptically, "Is that really what you’re thinking? You’re not saving that house for... hiding a mistress or something in the future?"

Jiang Kechu nodded immediately, "I wish I could show you my heart. It’s all for you, truly. Even if it were for hiding a mistress, the mistress would be you."

In fact, he had his little schemes. If Wan Chu’er moved into his place, not only was it spacious and convenient, but it would also make his own visits easier.

Plus, it would give him a sense of reality that Wan Chu’er had truly come around and was willing to be with him.

These past days had been as if he was walking in the clouds, always feeling as if he was dreaming, especially after the dream last night.

Maybe once he and Wan Chu’er got their marriage certificate, or even once Wan Chu’er truly became his, he would feel a little more at ease.

Thinking of this, Jiang Kechu stared at Wan Chu’er with fervor, "When shall we get married?"

"Ah?!" Wan Chu’er was stunned. The topic had jumped this fast? How did it get to marriage all of a sudden?

Unsatisfied with not receiving the response he wanted, Jiang Kechu pressed, "What, you don’t want to marry me?"

"How could that be?" Wan Chu’er scoffed, "If possible, I’d have no problem marrying you right now."

After all, they were already husband and wife in their past lives. Wan Chu’er didn’t take the formality of marriage seriously. Since she had decided to be with Jiang Kechu and live a good life together, the sooner they got married, the better.

Jiang Kechu could hardly believe what he heard, blinking his eyes and asking, "Really?"

Seeing such a tall man, so submissive before her and whose emotions she controlled, Wan Chu’er felt a slight softening of her heart.

Without considering the others around, she wrapped her arms around Jiang Kechu’s waist and said tenderly, "Don’t worry. As soon as I reach the legal age for marriage, we will get married without a second’s delay. I’m set on you for this life."

Jiang Kechu’s heart settled at once, seizing the opportunity to get Wan Chu’er to agree to move into his apartment when she returned.

As the two talked at the side, Wan Chu’er saw Mr. Zhang, Principal Yu, and Chen Ke looking at Jiang Kechu several times. Knowing that he was short on time and had many things to do, she reluctantly let go of him.

As soon as Wan Chu’er stepped away from Jiang Kechu, Mr. Zhang and Principal Yu hurried over.

Jiang Kechu shed the tenderness he showed Wan Chu’er and once again donned an authoritative air, saying earnestly:

"Sorry, but I have to leave abruptly due to an emergency. Regarding the donation of one hundred thousand yuan, I won’t go back on my word. Mr. Zhang, give me a bank account, and I’ll have thirty thousand yuan transferred to you when I get to the county town."

He entrusted Mr. Zhang with the oversight of the school construction, and the rest of the money would be sent to Principal Yu’s account according to the progress of the work.

Before leaving, he once again entrusted Mr. Zhang with looking after Wan Chu’er.

Mr. Zhang readily agreed, of course.
