Chapter 627: Chapter 626: Diamond-Level Friendship
Jiang Kechu just felt his heart was full, immediately throwing Chen Ke’s words out of his mind. What kind of fool doesn’t cuddle such a good wife and play the cold war instead!
"It’s that kid Chen Ke who gave me the bad advice!" Jiang Kechu immediately and straightforwardly sold out Chen Ke, "Wife, I missed you." Saying this, his hands cheekily moved to his wife’s soft, white calves.
Wan Chuer slapped his hand away, stepped back, and righteously said, "Chen Ke gave you bad advice, and you listened to it? First, take a good look at your mistakes, take your hand away, and stop looking at me like that!"
Well, Chen Ke, you usually look silent and cool, who knew inside you’re such a repressed nerd to think of such awful ideas.
This matter must be talked over with Mai Qiqi, let Mai Qiqi keep a good eye on him.
As Wan Chuer inwardly complained about Chen Ke, she listened to Jiang Kechu sit up and sincerely start to self-reflect.
"I shouldn’t have easily listened to others’ slanders, deliberately not going to the airport to pick you up. Actually, when Li Shan told me you were coming back, I was very happy, couldn’t wait to see you. Even when I saw you at the courtyard, I had to use great effort to control myself from talking to you. Although it seemed like I was being cold, wasn’t I punishing myself?"
Wan Chuer’s heart had already softened as she couldn’t help but complain, "Yet you still listened to him, a guy over thirty still single, if it weren’t for Mai Qiqi’s great kindness in taking him in, he probably wouldn’t know what married life is in his lifetime."
Jiang Kechu hurriedly explained, "When you went to Y Country, do you know how worried I was about you, afraid you might encounter an accident. What would I do with Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Ya? I also wanted to try and see if you would be more cautious in the future, not so reckless. I know you get bored staying at home every day, but the people and things outside are very complicated, how can you outplay them?"
"Chuchu, promise me, don’t take such risks in the future, I can’t bear any bad news about you."
At the end, Jiang Kechu’s earnest and pleading expression turned Wan Chuer’s previous confidence into guilt and shame.
She said, "I’m sorry, truly sorry this time, I won’t be so willful in the future."
Hearing her sincere apology, Jiang Kechu secretly made a V sign in his heart, thinking to himself that you really shouldn’t listen to Chen Ke’s ideas, such matters must rely on oneself.
The couple reconciled as good as new, naturally having a joyful and passionate night, a little separation enhancing the joys of reunion.
The next day, after sending off a refreshed Jiang Kechu, Wan Chuer also sent Chuanqi and Hunter to kindergarten, then packed her things to go to Time.
Everyone at Time was pleasantly surprised to see Wan Chuer appear.
Jiang Lingling was even excitedly hugging Wan Chuer, "Sister-in-law, where did you go? You disappeared for a week without a call. Do you know, my work won an award, it’s one of the three most prestigious events in international fashion, the Aoki Competition."
Awarded in just a week? Wan Chuer was stunned, but naturally, she couldn’t dampen the mood, so she smiled and congratulated, asking, "What place did you win?"
"It was the bronze medal, which is quite good. She’s a newcomer, and a latecomer at that, getting a bronze is already impressive." Yu Zimu said beside her, rare praise for Jiang Lingling.
Praised by her idol, Jiang Lingling couldn’t help but laugh foolishly, "Actually, this time, it’s mostly thanks to Director Yu, who usually guides and helps me a lot."
Mai Qiqi laughed, "Lingling actually hid it from everyone. If it weren’t for the organizers calling the studio, we wouldn’t even know."
Jiang Lingling humbly said again, "I just feared not placing, saying it would be embarrassing."
Ah, learned humility, Wan Chuer pondered, this Jiang Lingling is nothing like her past life’s brash self, indeed, life is full of surprises.
"Great, to celebrate Lingling’s award and make up for my regret of not immediately sharing in Time’s grand event, I decide to give Lingling a gift." Remembering her fruitful trip to Y Country, Wan Chuer said grandly.
Hearing about a gift, Jiang Lingling’s eyes lit up, knowing Wan Chuer as always very generous, she smiled and asked, "What’s the gift?"
Wan Chuer replied, "I’ll give you a diamond, hoping your talent shines as brilliantly as a diamond!"
A diamond? Everyone was taken aback.
Wan Chuer smiled sweetly, "At least eight carats, very pure in color."
Eight carats! That’d be at least a few million, even tens of millions for better quality.
Everyone couldn’t quite believe Wan Chuer would really give such a big gift, thinking she was either joking, or even if she gave a diamond, it wouldn’t be as large.
Jiang Lingling even joked, "Whatever Sister-in-law gives me, I’ll be happy. Now that I have these achievements, being able to strive in what I love, I feel that’s already the best gift from Sister-in-law."
Seeing her so sensible, Wan Chuer couldn’t help but pat her head, "Good girl."
"Sister-in-law!" Jiang Lingling couldn’t help but pout. She felt a bit embarrassed being treated like a child and ran out as she still had a lot of work to do.
Everyone laughed, and Yu Zimu said, "Next time you go out, take me on a trip."
"No problem," Wan Chuer readily agreed. Yu Zimu is, after all, the soul of Time, his presence significantly elevates Time’s level.
After everyone left, Wan Chuer went to Mai Qiqi’s office.
Wan Chuer really took two diamonds from her bag, placing them on Mai Qiqi’s desk, saying, "Pick one, and give the other to Jiang Lingling."
Mai Qiqi picked up the two to carefully inspect, "Are these real diamonds? Where did you go, did you strike it rich with diamonds?" She looked them over and found they really were diamonds, uncut but excellently dazzling in quality.
Wan Chuer laughed mischievously, "Yes, indeed I got a bit rich with diamonds. I even saved one for Xiaoxiao."
Hearing this, Mai Qiqi knew Wan Chuer was truly gifting her a diamond, instantly delighted, choosing a smaller one, "I’ll pass this one on to my daughter in the future."
She and Chen Ke were also hoping for a tender little daughter.
Mai Qiqi pulled out a jewelry box from her desk drawer, took out the jewelry inside, and carefully placed the diamond in.
Recalling how Jiang Kechu had ignored her yesterday, Wan Chuer asked, "Have you not been hanging out with Chen Ke much lately?"
"Why?" Mai Qiqi didn’t understand why the topic shifted from diamonds to Chen Ke suddenly.
"Your Chen Ke is very annoying, going and giving Jiang Kechu some bad idea to suppress me." Wan Chuer said, "I came back yesterday, and Jiang Kechu was actually playing the ignore game with me. Who knew it was your Chen Ke’s... Why do you look so strange? What happened to you?"
Mai Qiqi felt guilty upon hearing this. That idea was born out of her own boredom, coaxing Chen Ke into it. Hearing Wan Chuer discuss this naturally made her expression unnatural.
Wan Chuer immediately guessed, "Could it be you gave the idea? I knew it, Chen Ke didn’t seem like the type."
"Hehe..." Mai Qiqi chuckled awkwardly, "I was just testing Jiang Kechu for you, seeing if he dared to play games with you. I guess you suppressed him, didn’t you? Jiang Kechu definitely won’t dare do such a thing again. You should thank me and Chen Ke."
Wan Chuer groaned, "Can I take back the diamond?"
"No way!" Mai Qiqi tightly held the diamond in her hand, "Chuchu, our friendship is diamond quality, can’t be some fake flower brand."
