My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 273 - 7 The End
Chapter 273: Chapter 7 The End
After Yang Xiaoli went back to her hometown, Lin Xiaoguai felt quite dispirited for a long time, until she received a call from Su Qianqian.
"Are you guys coming over?" Lin Xiaoguai’s voice could hardly hide her surprise.
"Yep, Han is getting transferred to the Capital, and we’re all moving there," Su Qianqian’s voice was somewhat distorted through the receiver, but the tangle in her tone was still discernible.
Lin Xiaoguai was surprised, "When did this happen?" She had always thought that Chen Han would spend his entire life in Shanghai, especially since Mr. Su’s connections were all there, and Chen Han could expect better opportunities.
Years ago, Chen Han and Su Qianqian had married, and the following year they had a chubby little boy who made the Su Family’s elders incredibly happy.
"It seems that the transfer order came after Shen Chi called," Su Qianqian said with a hint of resentment.
"Um..." Lin Xiaoguai was at a loss for words, realizing that Shen Chi must have orchestrated this. After a moment, she asked, "Your dad must’ve agreed, right?"
"...Yes," Su Qianqian answered reluctantly before hesitantly asking, "Xiao Guai, are the people in the Capital easy to get along with?"
"Is that what’s bothering you?" Lin Xiaoguai laughed and cried at the same time, "Your question is so odd. If I asked you whether people in Shanghai are easy to get along with, do you think they are easy or difficult?"
Su Qianqian paused and responded somewhat unwillingly, "Well, that’s really..."
"Don’t overthink it; after all, Chen Han will take care of everything for you," Lin Xiaoguai sighed.
Su Qianqian as a wife, probably only someone like Chen Han could put up with her. It’s not that she’s disagreeable, but in terms of social savvy, she hadn’t improved for decades, and the only progress she perhaps achieved was a bit more self-awareness.
Thinking back to an incident from the previous year, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her eye. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
——Only Su Qianqian could confront someone because their dog snatched her son’s snack.
If it hadn’t been for Chen Han’s mediation back then, Su Qianqian’s sharp temper may have led to long-term resentment between the two parties.
Over the phone, Su Qianqian continued to gripe about various things before they ended the call.
"Was it your idea to transfer Chen Han to the Capital?" At night, as Lin Xiaoguai lay in Shen Chi’s arms reading a book, she suddenly thought of it and looked up to ask.
"Did Su Qianqian call you?" Shen Chi stole a kiss as he looked down, then answered, "It was my idea. Although he has Mr. Su’s connections in Shanghai, I currently need more helping hands here. Under my command, would he climb the ranks any slower than in Shanghai?"
Lin Xiaoguai glared at him and said with some annoyance, "This is going to be a hassle for me."
"I’ve already told you to keep your distance from Su Qianqian," Shen Chi did not conceal his dislike for Su Qianqian.
In fact, Su Qianqian wasn’t difficult to deal with; on the contrary, she was quite easygoing, but she tended to take things too seriously and liked to stand up for others—the epitome of poking one’s nose into everyone’s business. As her friend, Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but be affected by her involvements.
Lin Xiaoguai actually liked the liveliness typical of young people that Su Qianqian embodied, but she herself preferred tranquility. An occasional commotion was fine, like watching a spectacle, but too frequent encounters would become a real nuisance.
Seeing Lin Xiaoguai frown, Shen Chi felt compassion and decided to reveal something he had originally planned to withhold a bit longer.
"Don’t worry. Although Chen Han will be living in the Military District, he’ll still be a distance away from our house. Even if you wanted to see Su Qianqian often, it wouldn’t be possible." Shen Chi had already taken all factors into consideration when planning to call Chen Han over for help.
"Really?" Lin Xiaoguai pecked Shen Chi on the lips in delight, but before she could pull away, he caught her and showered her with affection. When she finally caught her breath, she remembered something else, "Speaking of which, how’s the search for the shop going?"
"There are plenty, but none that satisfy me fully. Since you’re not in a rush, I’ll keep looking at my leisure," Shen Chi said as he gently rested his chin on her head.
Shen Chi had his personal considerations concerning the shop, not only because of Lin Xiaoguai’s demands, and that’s why his search proceeded slowly.
He foresaw that Wanwan sometimes had her lazy moments and could end up staying at the shop late. He could picture her possibly neglecting to come home, leaving him alone in an empty house.
So, to avoid becoming a proverbial statue pining for his wife, Shen Chi thought it best to find a shop as close as possible to their residence. Even if Wanwan ended up being lazy, he could still go to find her.
