Chapter 402: Chapter 398: Take a Shot, Whether There’s a Date or Not
This feeling of collective success or failure is really exhilarating.
The only seedling of the whole department.
Even if she falls into a ditch someday, there’s no need to worry, just lie there and wait for the teacher to fish her out.
Otherwise, her personal honor or disgrace is a small matter, it involves the collective.
Ha!
She doesn’t believe the higher-ups wouldn’t be anxious.
The whole department failing!
No matter how many people are in the department, I’m just asking if you failed.
With the emperor as a hostage, Wang Ran played it perfectly.
Luckily, it’s the archaeology department teachers who don’t yet know what a deadbeat Wang Ran is.
If they knew what a troublemaker she is, they’d probably be so mad they’d scratch the walls.
They only know to look at the birth chart and confirm there’s no problem with her background and ignore everything else.
The main thing is those professors, leaders, are dazzled by Wen Ran’s series of honors.
A row of certificates, each with a well-known name and history.
With this gold content, if they say Wen Ran isn’t of impeccable background, the leadership would be agitated with the other party.
Who would have thought underneath the golden exterior is a super lazybones?
Still, she’s willing to go to any lengths to slack off.
Xiao Chenguang fell into silence, even Mrs. Xiao was dumbfounded.
This, is going against the natural order, isn’t it?
Growing up, I’ve only heard of teachers having a hold over students, and now it’s reversed, with the teacher being held by the student...
Growing up, this is indeed the first time.
"Ranran, can this work?"
Regarding this, Wen Ran’s attitude is indifferent, whether it works or not, just try and find out.
Whether there are dates or not, just hit the pole.
"Whether it works or not, let’s try it and find out."
Wen Ran isn’t one to act aggressively, as long as others aren’t being obnoxious and intentionally provoking her, she’ll be quite mellow.
Plus with that somewhat deceptive face, anyone saying she’s a troublemaker would be considered slander by those unaware.
But...
If you do take it seriously, then sorry.
Mellow can also become spiky.
Mrs. Xiao thought for a moment and decided not to discourage her.
The kid has grown up, having her own ideas is one thing, and moreover, Wen Ran rarely does anything unreliable.
Why should I meddle blindly?
Furthermore...
Mrs. Xiao felt that even if Wen Ran didn’t go to school, it doesn’t seem like a significant issue.
Thinking of this, she instantly decided to lay it all down.
Ha!
If the worst outcome is acceptable, the rest are just trivialities.
It’s whatever, as long as it doesn’t cause any fatalities, everything else is minor~
"Alright alright," said Mrs. Xiao, trying to mediate, "let’s not talk about it, let’s eat first, this meal’s been prepared for quite a while, waiting and waiting, finally all the people are here.
If we wait any longer, it’ll actually cool down."
"Okay!"
Wen Ran let out a breath of resentment, managing to move past this topic.
Otherwise, what else could be done, it’s her husband’s elder brother, she couldn’t just strangle him.
Just endure it!
"Let’s eat!"
In the room, the charcoal fire was very strong, and Mrs. Xiao covered each dish with a large bowl after cooking, so when they were uncovered, the dishes were still steaming.
In the center, a copper hot pot was placed.
Charcoal could be added in the middle, surrounded by milky white lamb soup, with such a heat source, and combined with the charcoal fire, the room was fragrant and warm.
Earlier, Wen Ran was entirely focused on nitpicking, but now that she was appeased, her craving instantly took over.
She reached out with her chopsticks and urged, "What are you waiting for, the meal’s ready!"
Starving, starving.
The whole family joyfully enjoyed a meal together.
Once Wen Ran filled her stomach, her eyes began to dart around.
That look...
At least in Xiao Chenye’s eyes, who shared a bed with her, it didn’t seem like she was up to any good.
Xiao Chenye: "...Ahem."
He cleared his throat and reminded, "Eat properly."
"Tsk," Wen Ran discontentedly, "Aren’t I eating? Uh, I can’t reach the duck, can you pass me some."
"Sure."
Having someone like Xiao Chenye, who’s become expert with chopsticks, is very convenient.
His long arms can reach whatever he wants.
He handed over a duck leg noisily, Wen Ran filled her stomach and cuddled with the child.
Initially, she thought it was for the kid’s good, but the kid was quite comfortable in his little crib, actually whimpering reluctantly when Wen Ran picked him up.
Wen Ran: "?"
Damn.
After a couple of days of schooling, you no longer recognize your parents.
Of course, Wen Ran isn’t a saint either.
The child’s reluctance to be held just caused a shallow sadness for a moment before joy took over again.
Hehehe, if the child doesn’t want to be held, it really frees up a lot of time.
Sweet!
After eating and drinking, everyone chipped in to clean up.
Mr. Xiao called Xiao Chengguang away, and the rest each went about their own business.
But, Wen Ran had nothing to do, and to make Wen Ran happy, Xiao Chenye was even generously spared.
"Creak~"
The door closed, and Xiao Chenye said sadly, "When you weren’t home before, I never had this treatment."
Wen Ran smiled helplessly, "Well, now you do."
"Long time no see," Xiao Chenye leaned over, hugging Wen Ran’s shoulders, resting his chin on her head.
Wen Ran: "..."
How should I say, for a moment, she felt like her skull wouldn’t survive.
It was painful.
As everyone knows, Xiao Chenye is quite the looker, where there should be muscle there is, and where there shouldn’t be, it’s lean.
Chin...
"Ow!"
Wen Ran held her head, close to tears, "Are you trying to murder me?"
"Ah?" The warm atmosphere instantly dissipated, Xiao Chenye, guilty, "Hush, hush, hush, I’ll blow on it for you, it’s not painful, not painful."
He made such a commotion, he might end up getting the feather duster in a bit.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chenye guiltily glanced at the door outside.
Seeing no movement, he breathed a sneaky sigh of relief.
Living life at home, it can’t be all smooth sailing.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Once his safety was confirmed, Xiao Chenye quickly reached for Wen Ran’s scalp, "Let me take a look."
"Look at what?"
Wen Ran felt Xiao Chenye’s hair-picking action was like an adult monkey catching lice on a baby monkey.
Xiao Chenye may be willing to be the monkey, but Wen Ran certainly isn’t.
She pouted, slapping Xiao Chenye’s hand away, "Stop fooling around, tell me, at the table just now, what were you trying to say with all those winks?"
Regarding her current life, Wen Ran genuinely felt she was enjoying it.
After all, having money meant no fear.
But, it’s a different case for Xiao Chenye.
He has to take care of his parents, his unmarried sister, his wife, sister-in-law, and his pair of twins not even a year old.
Three whole mountains neatly piled on top of him.
To say there’s no pressure would be nonsense.
