Chapter 407: Four Hundred and Seven Growing Up Happy_1

Fortunately, as an experienced marketer, Gu Chen’s skin had long become impervious to swords and guns, unaffected by water and fire.

Its thickness would make even the corner of a city wall feel inferior.

A little awkwardness like this only caused him to be slightly stunned for a moment.

Then he greeted his wife with a face that looked as if nothing had happened,

and even enthusiastically asked her if she wanted to take a test drive as well.

After all, every time Tangtang fell asleep, he was the one acting as the driver.

It was a day to make an exception and let his wife experience the thrill of speeding along.

Daughter Tangtang didn’t understand what was going on but was quite happy to see her mother come home early from work.

Then she shook the "reins" she held toward Ji Pianran.

She was ready to let her mother take a turn test driving the "Daddy-branded little donkey."

However, Ji Pianran was already blushing furiously because of Gu Chen turning the tables and taking control of the situation.

If it weren’t for her daughter sitting on his back, making it inconvenient for her to use force,

she would have probably already clenched her Invincible Kitty Fist and knocked Gu Chen’s teeth out first.

So he would stop spouting nonsense all the time, just in case he corrupted their daughter.

Fortunately, the father and daughter didn’t play for too long, and soon Tangtang lost interest in the "Daddy-branded little donkey."

She turned her attention to Tom and Jerry on TV instead.

Gu Chen also got up from the ground and, seeing his daughter’s happy face, couldn’t help but reach out and touch her little head.

Then he took Ji Pianran’s bag from her hand and placed it on the nearby rack.

At the same time, he asked curiously,

"Why did you come home so early today? Did you forget something?"

"Hmm... no, I took the day off at the company on purpose.

I was planning to come home, change into something more comfortable, and then sneak back and give you and Tangtang a surprise.

I didn’t expect that both of you would also be at home; has the school changed its schedule?"

Ji Pianran didn’t admit that she had actually come home desperately seeking the phone book.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that really mean admitting she was a failed mother?

So no matter what, she decided to kick the ball into her husband’s court first.

However, Gu Chen was completely unaware of his wife’s little schemes.

He genuinely thought that Ji Pianran had come home to change clothes and found nothing amiss with that.

Hearing her inquire about the day’s events, he just scratched his head somewhat helplessly,

and told Ji Pianran about the shrew he encountered today and the rescue he performed on the bus.

Once Ji Pianran knew the full story, she was also very angered.

Especially upon seeing the scratch marks along her husband’s arms, she was so heartbroken she nearly cried.

Although she herself would occasionally give Gu Chen a friendly punch, she was his wife,

and Ji Pianran never wanted to hurt him seriously.

Yet today, in just a short while, he was scratched up like this, even bleeding.

This made her feel an itching hatred.

"Don’t worry, husband, I’m going to have someone look into that woman’s background.

You were simply trying to help her son out of kindness, but ended up getting hurt like this.

We can’t just let this go; I don’t care how influential her family is.

Today, I, Ji Pianran, will make sure she pays the price!"

So said Ji Pianran, trembling with anger, as she held Gu Chen’s hand with a determined face.

By the time her words had fallen, she was hastily getting up and ready to drive to the company to settle accounts with the other party.

Gu Chen found himself with even more question marks above his head, deeply touched by how much his wife cared for him.

But the problem was that his words seemed to make him feel like he had become the delicate sweet wife pampered by the CEO, didn’t they?

What the heck, had he been reborn into some strange script called "The CEO’s Intimate Sweet Wife"?

"Hey, hey, Pian Ran, don’t be so impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil.

Listen to me, these are just superficial injuries, I’ll be fine in a day or two by myself, just calm down, calm down."

Gu Chen quickly grabbed Ji Pianran’s arm and forcefully pulled her back from the door.

Looking at her face, red with anger, Gu Chen felt a headache coming on.

Even though the Ji Family held a lot of power in Chuan City now, business wars aren’t something you just dive into, are they?

Moreover, using one’s power to oppress others had never been Gu Chen’s style.

And even more importantly, Gu Chen had never been one to swallow his pride.

True, his arm had been scratched by that woman, but he had taken his revenge on the spot in the bus.

The woman nearly developed a psychological shadow after the resounding slap he gave her.

Now, she trembled all over at the sight of him.

The child had also been successfully rescued, and as far as Gu Chen was concerned, that should have been the end of the matter.

After all, he had never really taken the incident to heart.

The other party was just a troublesome shrew and a confused fool.

Gu Chen had always preferred to spare such people even a second glance.

And now that the incident was over, to go looking into the person’s background and plot revenge...

It might even lead to her bankruptcy or loss of her job.

He knew his wife meant well by being protective of him, but in his view, taking it this far would be a bit much.

"Okay, okay, Pian Ran, you finally got off work early for a day.

Don’t stress yourself over such things; besides, you know I have always been tough-skinned and hardy.

Leave this matter to me, just listen to me this time."

Hearing him say this, Ji Pianran pouted, her face showing clear dissent.

"We agreed from the beginning, the woman handles external affairs and the man handles internal ones.

I’m your wife, now that you’ve been bullied by outsiders, what’s wrong with me wanting to seek revenge for you?

I think you should stop worrying about me. When I get back to the company, I have plenty of ways to deal with that cheap woman."

Gu Chen, at a loss for words, rested his hand on his forehead, once again raising his voice in retort.

"You’re wrong, Pian Ran. Look at me, I’m the guardian for our Tangtang, and the other party is also the child’s parent.

We only had a small conflict on the bus arranged by the kindergarten.

By that logic, this clearly falls within the realm of issues related to the child’s education, which is definitely my responsibility."

As he spoke, Gu Chen paused for a moment, then as if something occurred to him, he continued to add.

"Besides, who said I’ve been bullied? That’s purely fabricated.

Pian Ran, you can’t just make up nonsense just because you’re my wife."

On hearing this, Ji Pianran also became somewhat indignant.

She immediately turned around, intent on debating the issue of whether the "Gu Chen injury case on the bus" should fall under her external duties or his internal duties, with Gu Chen, who was sitting across from her.

One hour later.

After an intense and exciting debate, the two of them in the bedroom had both grown a lot.
