In the car.
Wu Chenjun let out a huge sigh of relief, "Finally, so peace and quiet!"
Shangguan Xi said with a smile, "Cao Xiaoi didn’t seem to talk much, did she? Do you find her that annoying?"
Overall, Cao Xiaoi could still be considered a well-behaved young lady.
Otherwise, Shangguan Xi wouldn’t have been able to tolerate her.
Wu Chenjun said, "I don’t know what it is, but just the sight of her irritates !"
Shangguan Xi teased him on purpose: "Annoyed with her? I think you’re just saying one thing and thinking another! Cao Xiaoi is so pretty, and don’t you guys always go for looks?"
Wu Chenjun turned to look at Shangguan Xi, ribbing her: "Shangguan Xiaosi! If I really went for looks, I wouldn’t have married you!"
"Am I that ugly in your eyes?" Shangguan Xi narrowed her eyes.
Wu Chenjun quickly begged for rcy, "I was wrong! My dearest wife, I was really wrong! In my eyes, you are the most beautiful in the world! Everyone else is just so plain and ordinary compared to you, how can they even compare to you?"
Shangguan Xi said with a chuckle, "Alright, alright, I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t bother arguing with you. By the way, I noticed sothing strange, have you noticed it too?"
"What’s that?" Wu Chenjun turned his head to look at Shangguan Xi.
Shangguan Xi continued, "Have you noticed that grandma hasn’t been rushing to have kids lately? Could it be that she has accepted the situation?" Previously, Mada Wu would talk about having grandchildren almost every day, endlessly repeating it, but one day she suddenly stopped, which Shangguan Xi found quite odd.
And it wasn’t just a little odd!
Wu Chenjun stroked his chin, "Now that you ntion it, it does seem a bit strange."
Mada Wu dread of holding a great-grandchild; was it possible for her to let it go so easily?
This matter wasn’t simple at all...
Wu Chenjun went on, "Do you think she could be up to so mischief?"
Shangguan Xi said exasperatedly, "Who talks about their own grandmother like that?"
As far as Shangguan Xi was concerned, aside from being a bit too eager for grandchildren, Mada Wu didn’t have any other shortcomings.
Wu Chenjun said, "I’m serious. In any case, we should be a bit more cautious these days and make sure we don’t give her anything to hold against us. I’ve lived with my grandma for so many years; I understand her better than you do."
Seeing Wu Chenjun’s earnest expression, Shangguan Xi nodded, "Alright, I’ll be careful."
At the Wu Family’s ho.
Seeing Cao Xiaoi return alone, Mada Wu frowned and asked, "Why are you back by yourself? Where are the others?" She had originally intended for Cao Xiaoi to develop a closer relationship with Wu Chenjun, not expecting that Cao Xiaoi would co back alone.
This was completely unacceptable!
Cao Xiaoi explained, "It seed like my sister-in-law doesn’t really like much, she barely spoke to all the way. And then, I don’t know what she told Brother Chen Jun, so he just sent back."
Upon hearing this, Mada Wu’s frown deepened even more.
She had always thought Shangguan Xi was a generous person, but she didn’t expect Shangguan Xi to be so petty as to not even tolerate Cao Xiaoi.
That was such a disappointnt!
Mada Wu then said, "Well, you go back and rest for now. There will be other chances in the future. Oh, and if you have ti, make sure to practice your cooking skills. Chen Jun loves Cantonese cuisine. There’s a saying: to win a man’s heart you must first win his stomach. You need to understand the principle of catering to his preferences."
Mada Wu was really getting impatient seeing that there was still no progress with Cao Xiaoi.
She was dying to hold a great-grandchild as soon as possible.
Actually, not only was Mada Wu in a hurry, but Cao Xiaoi herself was also anxious. She had been at the Wu Family’s ho for a week, yet she hadn’t seen any progression in her relationship with Wu Chenjun.
If things continued like this, when would she ever beco sobody important?
Cao Xiaoi nodded her head, "Then I’ll go check out the kitchen right now."
Mada Wu waved her off, "Go ahead, I’ve already spoken to Chef Liu."
Cao Xiaoi hurried towards the kitchen - she had to master the culinary skills to make sure Wu Chenjun couldn’t live without her.
She must do it!
But in the blink of an eye, the first month had passed.
On the day of ’Erlong Raising Its Head’, Ni Chengui and Zhou Dawei took Yuanyuan to the Salon to get a haircut.
After the haircut, the two of them carried Yuanyuan to the village to register her household.
Since this was the first child for Ni Chengui and Zhou Dawei, and considering that Ni Yang and her daughter had initially been brought back by Ni Chengui, the process of household registration went very smoothly.
A week later, Ni Chengui got the brand-new household registration booklet. Looking at the completed family of three on the booklet, a smile of satisfaction appeared on her lips.
