199 Meeting His Wife’s Brother
Before Xiaoguo went to bed, she stewed some chicken soup. As she was going to visit Qin Anming the next day, Xiaoguo had specially picked out a few types of Chinese herbs to nourish his Qi and blood. She would boil the soup on low heat for the entire night to bring out the essence from the meat and herbs. When she brings it for him tomorrow, it would taste superb!
After cleaning up, she closed the kitchen door.
When she returned to the house, she saw that Jiang Danhe’s room was still lit. She guessed that they might not have rested yet, so she stood at the door and knocked softly. “Rest early.”
Jiang Danhe was shocked. He subconsciously hid the book he was holding under his pillow.
“Okay, you rest early too.”
As Zhuang Zhuang was sleeping by his side, Jiang Danhe’s voice sounded a little reserved.
Xiaoguo tilted her head, but she didn’t think much about it. She walked back to her room with a candle in hand.
Jiang Danhe waited for the light at the door to disappear before taking out the book again.
He looked at the title of the book and felt a little shy. It was called the Beloved Wife Guide.
This was what he had found when he was working in Feng City. He had glanced at the cover a few times during his free time. Initially, he thought that it was a book that teaches men ways to communicate with their wives. However, the more he read, the more he realized that the book was something else. In fact, it is teaching men various ways to please women, covering both orthodox and unorthodox methods.
However, Jiang Danhe had only started reading officially today, so he did not know that yet. The wheedling that he used today was found in the first few pages of the book. It seemed that it was quite effective. As he went on reading, he realized that something was amiss.
boxn ovel. c0mAfter the first few pages, the book suddenly went on a different trajectory and started to go on about getting onto the bed and taking off one’s clothes. As Jiang Danhe looked at the writing and illustrations, a hint of disgust flashed through his head.
Jiang Danhe frowned and was about to throw the book away when he heard Xiaoguo’s voice. For some reason, he felt like he had a guilty conscience.
At this moment, Jiang Danhe threw the book back into his bag. It seemed that he had to think of a way to get rid of it tomorrow. If Xiaoguo or Zhuang Zhuang found the book, it would be hard to explain himself.
…
The next day, after breakfast, Xiaoguo set off for the county city.
With Jiang Danhe around, there was no need for Xiaoguo to drive. She just had to sit in the back with Zhuang Zhuang.
It was a rare chance for Xiaoguo since she had always been the driver. She could finally sit in the cart as a passenger today.
Looking at the broad shoulders in front of her, Xiaoguo felt at ease again.
Come to think of it, every time she felt at ease, it was always because of Jiang Danhe.
At this thought, Xiaoguo could not help but feel a little stunned.
Jiang Danhe could feel someone looking at him from behind. When he turned around and saw Xiaoguo in a daze, he smiled dotingly and reached out to tuck her hair back behind her ears.
Xiaoguo came back to her senses and realized that a pair of hands with irresistible warmth was fiddling with something near her face.
She didn’t dodge and allowed him to continue with what he was doing.
After Jiang Danhe tucked her hair behind her ears, he retracted his hand and turned back to look ahead.
At that moment, his heart was racing. He could not get tired of looking at Xiaoguo every day. Every time he looked at her, his heart would start pounding like a drum.
Even though she was dressed simply with no accessories in her hair, and her hair was tied up in a bun at the back, with no special adornments, Jiang Danhe just liked her so much. He really liked everything about her.
As he thought about this, Jiang Danhe couldn’t help but laugh. There was a silly look on his face that didn’t match his handsome appearance. But so what? He just wanted to laugh and continue liking Xiaoguo.
Jiang Danhe was laughing in the front, while Xiaoguo was doing the same at the back.
Zhuang Zhuang looked around. Were they being lovey-dovey in front of him?
…
Jiang Danhe followed Xiaoguo’s directions and arrived at the door of the noodle shop.
He looked at the plaque and read out the name a few times.
“Alright, stop studying it. It’s just a random name. We had picked a character from each of our names.”
Seeing how puzzled he was, Xiaoguo was amused. She explained to him how the name came about in Ruyi’s exact words. She even said that the three of them would stay together forever and never be separated.
When Jiang Danhe heard this, he nodded in understanding. It sounded pretty good with the three words symbolizing them being together forever. As long as they were happy, it didn’t matter if the shop name meant something or not.
Jiang Danhe got Zhuang Zhuang out of the car and carried Xiaoguo down shortly after.
Xiaoguo felt a little shy. How could he hug her like this in the middle of the street, it was so embarrassing. Wouldn’t it invite the gossip of others?
Zhuang Zhuang, who had just been casually picked up and put down, felt a little confused when he saw how carefully Jiang Danhe was carrying Xiaoguo. Shouldn’t his father be more careful with him instead?
At the door, Jiang Danhe suddenly hesitated. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to see that person— he was just feeling a little nervous.
“Let’s go.” Xiaoguo watched as he held on to the casserole but did not move. She reached out and dragged him forward. “The ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually. Besides, it’s not like you haven’t met him before.”
“Okay.” Jiang Danhe, who had just mustered his courage, suddenly felt deflated again. He repeatedly asked for Xiaoguo’s confirmation. “Are you sure that you have told him that I’m still alive?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Xiaoguo dragged Jiang Danhe into the house. “It seems like I have to take the initiative.”
Xiaoguo pulled Jiang Danhe up the stairs. When Zhuang Zhuang reached the top of the staircase, he ran in alone.
“Brother!”
Xiaoguo pulled Jiang Danhe into the restaurant. They had come at a time when the peak hour had just ended for the morning. It was break time for everyone at the moment and they were all sitting down. They had left two seats empty between them.
Xiaoguo felt that those seats were reserved for herself and Jiang Danhe, so she led him to those seats and sat down with him.
Jiang Danhe was feeling a little awkward at this moment. He could remain calm and collected under the gazes of his enemy and the soldiers, but why did he feel so uncomfortable under the gazes of these people? The pot in his hand felt a little heavy, so he carefully placed it on the table.
Xiaoguo looked around but did not see Zhuang Zhuang and Qin Anming. She asked the girls curiously, “Where are my brother and Zhuang Zhuang?”
After being budged a few times by Uncle Xu, Ruyi came back to her senses. She rubbed her eyes and said in disbelief, “Sister Xiaoguo, I didn’t expect my Brother-in-law to be so handsome!”
As soon as she said that, the four people, including Uncle Xu, raised their voices in agreement. “Yes! Yes! He is so handsome!”
“Huh?” Xiaoguo smiled. “So you’re looking at him.”
Jiang Danhe was also stunned. He had been nervous for nothing.
“Thank you.”
Jiang Danhe said politely. As soon as he said that, everyone, except for Uncle Xu, started screaming softly. “Ah, his voice is so nice…”
“Brother-in-law is a general, right?”
“Wow, Brother-in-law is really amazing!”
“He’s a general all right. I can tell by the look of him!”
“Not only is he handsome, his voice sounded so nice too. Sister Xiaoguo, you’re really amazing!”
Once again, the others agreed with Ruyi.
The corners of Xiaoguo’s mouth twitched. So that was it. These girls kept talking about the general. The military camp. They must really like this military man. It seemed that Qin Anming had told them about it.
Indeed, deep in their hearts, women had always liked military men. Regardless of which era they came from, women shared the same aesthetics in this case.
Jiang Danhe sat down beside Xiaoguo to show his loyalty to her.
His action made the girls gasp again.
Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo innocently. “I didn’t do anything.”
Xiaoguo sighed at his innocent expression. “You haven’t done anything. It’s just because of your status that you look handsome even when you are just breathing.”
