Chapter 359: Three Hundred Fifty-Nine Moving Day Journal_1

Ji Pianran, who was at work, was also very happy after receiving a call from her husband, Gu Chen.

Originally, she was worried that her husband might feel awkward for giving up his career to become a full-time dad at home.

After all, if this had happened to a man with a strong career drive, an argument would have been the least of it; divorce might have been on the table.

But to her surprise, on the very first day, Gu Chen had already bought a house.

It was clear that he was willing to stay with her in Chuan City for good.

Thinking that from now on, she wouldn’t have to leave her parents, who were getting on in years, and that she could frequently show her filial piety,

and not have to live apart from her husband and daughter due to this,

Ji Pianran was simply overjoyed. It wasn’t that Gu Chen wanted to buy a villa.

Even if he had wanted to buy a castle, she would definitely be all for it right now.

She then praised her husband and daughter profusely over the phone.

Although she hadn’t seen what the new house looked like yet, no matter, it was right to praise first.

She also said that after work in the evening, she would definitely buy a cake to celebrate.

The couple then sweetly chatted on the phone for a while before reluctantly hanging up.

On the other end, Gu Chen, after getting affirmation from his wife, felt even more energized.

He then started arranging the move with his daughter.

Of course, when speaking of moving, he and Ji Pianran actually didn’t have much to bring.

When Gu Chen came to Chuan City, it was at a time when the rivalry with Xu Qingmu was at its most intense.

He was so focused on how to bring down his opponent that he had no time to care about anything else.

Later, when Ji Pianran and their daughter Tangtang hurried to Haicheng,

after receiving a call from the butler Bai Guang and learning that her husband was missing, possibly dead or alive, she was almost frantic.

Without bringing anything from home, she picked up her daughter from her hobby class and rushed to Chuan City as fast as she could.

Thankfully, in the end, it all turned out to be a false alarm, and Gu Chen safely returned after being missing for one night.

After that, they never went back to Haicheng, and at this point, the thing they had the most of at home... was actually their daughter’s toys.

Gu Chen had never imagined that one day he would get so tired just moving all sorts of toys.

It made him want to criticize his wife’s parents in his heart—they really spoiled the child too much.

Other families buy toys one by one, but Ji Guangsheng would buy them by the shelf.

And if it weren’t for Ji Pianran persuading him, he might have joyfully bought out an entire store.

In principle, given that his father-in-law Ji Guangsheng came from a distinguished family but also experienced hardships in his youth,

and under his leadership, the Ji Family business grew even bigger, surpassing previous generations in status within Chuan City,

he should be aware that spoiling Tangtang like this was not right. Yet, the old man seemed to enjoy doing just that.

Gu Chen had always suspected that it was because Ji Pianran had once run away from home for many years, leaving a sense of guilt in her father’s heart.

So now, whenever he saw Tangtang, he seemed eager to compensate for the years of paternal love his own daughter missed out on.

As well as the guilty feelings he once had, lavishing all on this adorable granddaughter in front of him.

However, the result of this was that the belongings of both Gu Chen and Ji Pianran,

combined, could be packed in just one suitcase.

But for the daughter’s hoard of toys, Gu Chen spent an entire afternoon moving them, nearly filling a small truck before finally settling everything.

Even with Gu Chen’s physically enhanced constitution from the system, it was still exhausting.

Although Tangtang, the little one, didn’t lift a finger throughout the whole process.

She kept clenching her little fists by her side, and her mouth was continuously cheering "Go Daddy!"

Acting as Gu Chen’s cheerleading team, her sense of participation was extremely strong.

By the time Ji Pianran got off work in the evening and came home with a cake in hand,

she saw at a glance that Gu Chen and their daughter Tangtang were fast asleep on the sofa on the first floor, sprawled out in all directions.

Gu Chen had one foot resting on the edge of the sofa while the other stretched out onto the coffee table beside him.

One hand was embracing his daughter on his chest, and the other hand was in a Superman flying pose.

The little one, for some reason, had completely flipped over in her sleep.

Her little head was resting on Gu Chen’s soft belly, and right now, she was opening her little mouth, drooling continuously and forming clear streams.

On Gu Chen’s white T-shirt, one dribble ring after another was drawn.

Her other two adorable little feet were all resting on Gu Chen’s forehead, occasionally pushing down a couple of times in her dreams.

The scene was incredibly heart-warming, and... rather distressing to behold.

Ji Pianran didn’t wake the father-daughter pair but carefully put down the cake and red wine she was carrying.

After that, she took off her coat and high heels, and then quietly headed to the villa’s kitchen to prepare dinner for the two.

Upon opening the fridge door, it was almost filled with a variety of food and fruit.

The top freshness compartment was also full of her daughter’s and her favorite snacks.

This sight warmed Ji Pianran’s heart.

Just when she was pondering what to cook for dinner,

she didn’t notice a shadow had already quietly approached her from behind.

"Wow, wifey’s home, hahaha!"

Gu Chen suddenly shouted from behind her, and then wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

Ji Pianran was startled and turned around only to discover her husband’s mischievously irritating expression.

This made her a mix of mad and affectionate as she punched his chest and couldn’t help but reproach sweetly,

"You’re such a big guy, still sneakily pranking people, so childish!"

However, upon hearing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but break into laughter.

Then he leaned in close to her ear and whispered suggestively,

"That’s right, I am Little Gu Chen from kindergarten big class, Auntie Pianran, I want some milk~"

As he spoke, the hand that had been around her waist started to get unruly.

Upon hearing these words, Ji Pianran felt her face heat up to the roots of her neck.

She slapped away Gu Chen’s wandering hand and picked up a cabbage and threw it at his head.

"Drink your big head ghost, it’s so late, come help me cook," she retorted.

Seeing his wife’s shy and timid demeanor, Gu Chen momentarily felt a tickling in his heart.

But he knew Ji Pianran always had a thin skin, if he kept teasing her, she might ignore him tomorrow.

He couldn’t help but snicker, then picked the cabbage off his head.

With a grin, he said, "As you command, my dear wife.

Today’s your first day off work, so go sit in the living room and rest for a while.

Watch this master chef show off my specialty, I guarantee you will find it so delicious that your jaw will drop!"
