Chapter 147: 147 I’m back

"Director Liang, I won’t be polite about this, Secretary Hao is troubling you."

"Director Jiang, would you like to stay for dinner? Try the meals at our furniture factory."

"I really can’t stay; the home hasn’t had the fire going all day."

Jiang Xinyu rode her bike home and saw someone leaning against the gate—a man, her boyfriend.

Upon hearing movement, he lifted his head, his eyes filled with smiles and deep affection. "I’m back."

Jiang Xinyu was equally excited, feeling her heart beat loudly. "You’re back." It was not a question, but a statement.

Wei Kaiyun slowly walked closer to Jiang Xinyu, standing beside her, looking down at the girl who made his heart flutter.

"Let’s go home."

"Hmm, let’s go home."

Jiang Xinyu handed him the keys, and Wei Kaiyun opened the door, carrying two large bags.

After Jiang Xinyu pushed her bike inside, the big door closed with a bang, shutting everything outside.

Wei Kaiyun dropped the bags and swept Jiang Xinyu into his arms, striding into the house.

For a couple in love, nothing is more exhilarating than a reunion after a long separation.

"Wife, wife."

The two held each other quietly, trying to calm their racing hearts. But the attraction between them prevented any steadiness.

After about ten minutes, Jiang Xinyu lightly wriggled herself; she hadn’t even taken off her coat yet.

"Wife, I’ll go start the fire. The room temperature is too low. You weren’t home today?"

"Hmm, I was out today. I’ll tell you later. Let me cook first; I’m hungry." Jiang Xinyu felt a bit sorry for Wei Kaiyun; he surely hadn’t eaten.

"There’s braised pork and marinated beef. Shall we have rice?"

"Sounds good; I’ll start the fire."

Wei Kaiyun saw Jiang Xinyu intending to light the stove in the west room and feared she’d send him there.

"Wife, if you heat the west room, you’d better come live with me there. Otherwise, I’m not going back."

Jiang Xinyu gave up. With Wei Kaiyun’s thick skin, this was definitely something he would do.

Wei Kaiyun followed closely behind Jiang Xinyu.

"Sit and start the fire, you’re in the way."

"Wife, you’re kicking me out."

"Go to the side."

An hour and a half later, they finally settled down for dinner.

Wei Kaiyun was very satisfied with the sauerkraut stewed with frozen tofu.

"There’s plenty left; I pickled a big jar."

The braised pork and marinated beef were gone, but Jiang Xinyu was not surprised, having seen Wei Kaiyun eat before.

After the meal, the hot water in the big pot was ready, and the bathroom temperature was warming up. "Wife, let’s bathe together."

"No, you go first."

Jiang Xinyu shooed Wei Kaiyun away, tucked into the bed, and found the pajamas she made for him.

When he came out, he disapproved of bathing in the bathroom.

"Wife, during winter, it’s better to bathe indoors. You don’t want to catch a cold."

"It’s fine; you get used to it. Here’s your pajamas; try them on."

After speaking, Jiang Xinyu took her coat and underclothes and went to bathe.

Wei Kaiyun had already prepared the water and was delighted to see his wife go to bathe. He quickly changed into the pajamas she made for him, feeling cheerful inside.

Timing it, he thought Jiang Xinyu would be done, so he picked up the bedding and waited at the door.

"Wife, I’m waiting outside. Once you’re dressed and open the door, I’ll carry you back."

Jiang Xinyu felt a bit exasperated. This man...

"Alright, you can come in."

By this time, Jiang Xinyu had tidied up the bathroom.

Wei Kaiyun saw his clever wife had wrapped her hair in a towel, wearing her coat. The bedding was unnecessary.

"Let’s go; don’t block the way. I need to run inside."

Wei Kaiyun made way and followed his wife back to the room.

The room was still quite warm. Jiang Xinyu stood on the floor, drying her hair with the coat off.

Wei Kaiyun took the towel. "Wife, let me."

Once her hair was nearly dry, Wei Kaiyun carried Jiang Xinyu onto the bed.

The next day, waking up, Jiang Xinyu felt a little unused to being hugged while sleeping; it was tiring.

In the morning, they had red sausages, egg fried rice, and each a bowl of milk powder.

The two sat on the bed, the stove burning strong, the room warm.

"Wife, this is for you." Wei Kaiyun handed her a known handbag.

"What’s this?"

"Money. I missed going to Russia with you due to a task, and this is commission."

Jiang Xinyu unzipped it, taking a look. Wow, there’s quite a lot of money.

"Why so much?"

"It’s allowed commission."

"Do they know above?"

"Yes, everyone has commissions, but the exact amount isn’t known. Be assured."

"Alright." Jiang Xinyu got off the bed, opened a box, and put the money bag inside. Then, she took out the clothes one by one.

"Here’s your leather coat; it must be really warm. Here’s a trench coat, a shirt, and leather boots for you to try on."

Wei Kaiyun hadn’t stopped smiling, trying on the clothes his wife gave him one by one.

They all fit quite well.

Jiang Xinyu noticed his cashmere underwear seemed a bit thin, and took out what she bought for him in the Capital, letting him wear it, prepared to wash the current set clean.

"Wife, I’ll wash them myself. You chose clothes that fit perfectly; previous outfits weren’t touched for nothing." His words drifted off without limits.

Cozying up like this, sometimes his persistence made Jiang Xinyu a bit frantic.

"Wife, you haven’t said where you went?"

"Wei Kaiyun, I discovered Kong Mengjie and Huang Hongwei together. One morning, I saw her leave Huang Hongwei’s house.

Once, Huang Hongwei’s wife, Dong Wenhua found clues and came to the textile factory, causing a scene. I felt quite sorry for that woman.

Huang Hongwei took his wife away, and the next day, Dong Wenhua came to find me, saying it was all a misunderstanding.

I knew what was going on, so I agreed to help her find a job.

When I returned from a business trip, I got her a temporary job cooking at the furniture factory and went to find Huang Hongwei, only to learn they had already divorced.

So yesterday I went to find Dong Wenhua. She hadn’t come over yet, and begged me to help her find an apprentice job for her son. I agreed."

"Did you find one?"

"Hmm, yesterday, I didn’t go home—I went directly to the furniture factory."

"Wife, do you think I should help Huang Hongwei?"

Jiang Xinyu was also tangled about this matter. The male lead hasn’t appeared yet. Weren’t they supposed to be the official couple?

"Don’t; let things run their course. I don’t think Kong Mengjie would accept it."

"Haha, I have a way."

"But still don’t. There’s nothing she’s done to harm us now."

Jiang Xinyu mulled it over. "Do you know Shen Xueqi? He’s about your age, right?"

"Vice Mayor Shen’s son, I know him. What’s up?"

How does the wife know Shen Xueqi? In her dreams, Kong Mengjie’s man is Shen Xueqi. Does the wife know something?

"What’s his character like?"

"Wife, you’re asking about another man right in front of me?"

"Don’t make trouble; I’m just asking."
