1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 411 Jiang Wan: How much does he spoil her?

Chapter 411 Jiang Wan: How much does he spoil her?
When we arrived at Tuanjiehu Community, it was only 8:40.

"The changes here are really huge. Last time I came, I stayed at home and didn't get a chance to explore properly."

Jiang Wan admired the surrounding environment and buildings along the way. She vaguely remembered that when she came to Beijing more than 20 years ago, this area was still a large wasteland, and Tuanjie Lake did not exist.

"After all, it is the capital of a country, and now it has entered the reform and opening up period. The changes can be described as happening every day. Just look at the changes in Wangfujing. A new building appears every few weeks. Life is getting better and better."

Xu Yuxiu linked arms with Jiang Wan, and the two chatted and laughed all the way, with no distance or barrier between them, as close as sisters.

Fortunately, my aunt isn't the type of woman to get jealous.

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at her aunt and thought to herself.

"Is your luggage all packed?"

Jiang Ting noticed Cheng Kaiyan looking over out of the corner of her eye and asked softly.

"Everything is ready. My flight is tomorrow night."

Cheng Kaiyan nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "I probably won't stay long this time. My role is very small, and I'll be back soon."

"That's good. Be careful, especially with Zhao Ruixue..."

Jiang Ting seemed calm as she reminded Cheng Kaiyan, but she herself didn't know what her feelings or stance were when she said this, so she added, "Next time you come back, you and Xiaoli will be engaged."

"You really don't trust me?"

Cheng Kaiyan frowned and asked in return, "There's Sister Xiaoli and you at home..."

"I know that writers are always sentimental, but being sentimental and being devoted are not actually two contradictory words."

Jiang Ting turned to look at the distant blue sky, said coldly, and then quickened her pace toward Jiang Wan and the other two.

The icy beauty felt a tremor run through her heart as she brushed past Cheng Kaiyan.

She couldn't contain her joy. Really... I'm still here?
"Amorous and devoted? What does Auntie mean by that?"

Cheng Kaiyan frowned, her expression calm.

Being sentimental means having loved, liked, and cared about many people.

Being devoted means loving only one person.

In summary, what Auntie meant was that you can have liked many people in the past, but in the current relationship, you must be devoted and only love Xiaoli.

This is similar to Cheng Kaiyan's bottom line and principles.

He will only be with Xiaoli, and he will only marry and have children with this girl, growing old together.

This was what he promised her; this was his commitment.

I won't wear a second watch.

Moreover, compared to others, his favorite and most beloved person was this lovely girl.

Cheng Kaiyan suddenly truly understood the meaning behind his aunt's words. It wasn't the meaning of the sentences themselves, but rather that she made him truly understand something before he left home.

Understand who holds a significant place in his heart and who he loves most.

"how about you?"

Cheng Kaiyan silently watched the two figures in front of her, one tall and one short, holding hands like twins, dressed very similarly.

He stared at the two of them, somewhat absentmindedly, for a while.

I don't know if it's telepathy or something else.

The girl with the ponytail suddenly turned around, winked at him, and smiled brightly.

Cheng Kaiyan felt a warm glow in her heart and responded with a gentle smile.

"Life is about living in a daze, and it's good to be dazed."

Soon we arrived at Tuanjiehu.

"The environment is so nice!"

As soon as Aunt Wan entered, she was drawn in and looked around the environment and facilities with great interest.

The large community is home to more than a dozen new six-story walk-up buildings.

The concrete structure, with its exterior walls covered in long white ceramic tiles, is as delicate and beautiful as a young lady from Jiangnan.

The Soviet-style red brick houses and tenement buildings, which are just as rustic as those of the common people, have a completely different aesthetic.

Trees with lush, dense foliage are planted in the flowerbeds downstairs and along the cobblestone paths in the community.

The bright sunshine fell on the bright and colorful spring flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers, whether light or strong, was carried by the cool lake breeze from afar, making people feel fragrant and the environment exceptionally quiet.

Standing downstairs, you can even hear the sound of the lake rippling in the distance.

"This place has a really nice environment; it must be comfortable and peaceful to live here."

Jiang Wan took in her surroundings and sighed a few times.

Thinking to himself, no wonder Cheng Kaiyan and Xiaoli bought the house without even discussing it.

"I came here once when the flooring was installed. Now that the furniture is all set up, it should look great, right?"

Liu Xiaoli held Cheng Kaiyan's arm and gently shook it as she asked, eager to see her own little home in Beijing.

His arm was gently rubbed against the girl's soft, round breasts through his thin spring shirt, the warm, bouncy touch accompanied by a faint fragrance.

Enjoying her lover's intimacy, Cheng Kaiyan smiled and said, "I've cleaned and tidied everything up, and all the household items are ready. You can move in today. I hope you'll be satisfied, Sister Xiaoli."

This house is their marital home, and it was purchased by the two of them together.

Whether the girl likes it or is satisfied with it is very important.

After all, the significance of this house lies entirely in her.

"Of course I like it!"

Without hesitation, Liu Xiaoli said, "Let's come up and take a look, see how Kaiyan has done."

"Let's go! It's on the third floor."

Jiang Wan, Xu Yuxiu, Jiang Ting, and the others responded and hurried upstairs.

When I got to the door, I saw that it was closed.

Jiang Wan smiled at her daughter and teased her meaningfully, "Xiaoli, hurry up and open the door, we've come to your house as guests!"

"Welcome everyone to my and Kaiyan's home. Welcome Mom, welcome Aunt Xiu, welcome Auntie."

Liu Xiaoli looked at her mother with some surprise, but the girl quickly realized the meaning behind her mother's words.

The girl smiled slightly, walked to the front with grace and poise, took out her key, and opened the door.

It's like a hostess bringing guests to her home.

"Welcome everyone... Oh, and you should have bought a string of firecrackers."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled and clapped her hands in welcome.

As they were talking, they glanced around the front door and noticed that several rooms that had been empty before the Lunar New Year were now occupied.

"Let's look around first, and then buy the groceries when we go downstairs later."

Liu Xiaoli had already taken on the role of the lady of the house, and she decided to cook herself in a little while.

With a click, the door opened.

The whole house came into view.

The entrance is clear at a glance, and the sunlight streaming through the window makes the house bright and clean, with the solid wood floorboards sparkling and spotless.

To the left of the entrance is a custom-made TV cabinet, on which sits the imported color TV that cost a couple thousand yuan.

Opposite them were classic wooden sofas neatly arranged, with a few pillows on them for people to lean on.

A transparent plastic sheet was pasted on the wooden coffee table.

To the right of the entrance is the kitchen, with iron pots, bowls, chopsticks, dishcloths, and other items on the counter.

The dining area is right next to the kitchen, with a square table set up.

The whole house has a wonderful environment.

"Your home is beautifully decorated!"

Jiang Wan walked in first, looked around the house, and said with some surprise.

It seems everything is ready; my daughter just needs to bring her luggage and move in.

The others followed behind.

Jiang Wan walked to the television, fumbled around for a while, and then turned it on. The picture immediately appeared, and it was in color.

Jiang Wan asked her daughter calmly, "This TV is in color, right? Color makes gray and white feel more comfortable... Oh! It's a Venus brand color TV, it must be expensive, right, Xiaoli?"

"One thousand four hundred and eight... foreign exchange certificates."

Liu Xiaoli felt a sense of pride in showing off to her mother, and even paused for a moment when explaining the cost.

"So expensive?!"

Jiang Wan was taken aback, then noticed Cheng Kaiyan smiling at her. She quickly suppressed her surprise and coughed twice to calm herself down.

We can't let this kid get too cocky.

However, as she walked into the kitchen, she immediately noticed a large, silver-white box next to the cabinet.

"Is this a refrigerator?!"

Jiang Wan exclaimed in surprise, "I've never seen this anywhere near my superiors at work!" "Yes, Kaiyan said it's great for chilling watermelons in the summer and for storing vegetables, so I bought it."

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly, somewhat troubled by Cheng Kaiyan's extravagant spending habits.

"..."

Jiang Wan looked at her composed daughter and didn't know what to say.

Just how much does Cheng Kaiyan spoil Xiaoli?
I bought a refrigerator just to store watermelon and vegetables. It's an imported one, so it must have cost at least a thousand or two foreign exchange certificates, right?
However, Jiang Wan composed herself and wanted to see what good things Cheng Kaiyan had prepared!
"hehe."

Xu Yuxiu, standing to the side, watched her close friend, whom she hadn't seen for many years, so surprised. She recalled how the woman had seemed unwilling when they first discussed marriage, and then looked at her now.

In comparison, Xu Yuxiu felt as comfortable as eating an ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day, and the anger that had been weighing on her heart slowly dissipated.

As she walked further, Jiang Wan became increasingly alarmed, yet also increasingly satisfied.

The house has a color TV, a refrigerator in the kitchen, hot water available 24/7 in the bathroom, an imported washing machine, and all the furniture is made of good wood, such as mahogany and nanmu.

These days, people demand three turns and one sound when their daughters get married, but my own daughter has everything.

Moreover, once women marry into their husbands' families, their main tasks are housework.

There's no escaping housework like washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning.

But my own daughter is different. She doesn't even need to wash clothes anymore. She just throws them in the washing machine, spins them dry, and hangs them out to dry on the balcony. It's so easy.

"Tsk tsk... He really is a great writer, his wealth is astounding."

After looking around for a while, Jiang Wan was truly amazed. She silently calculated that the furniture, appliances, and renovations in the house were enough to buy another house.

"Aunt Wan, are you satisfied?"

Seeing Aunt Wan's surprised yet delighted expression, Cheng Kaiyan couldn't help but smile.

There are probably very few houses like this in the whole country.

"Satisfied, satisfied."

Jiang Wan glanced at Cheng Kaiyan. What else could she say? She was convinced.

"That's good, that's good. Aunt Wan, you and Xiaoli can stay here tonight."

Cheng Kaiyan breathed a sigh of relief and spoke gently.

"This won't do. I can just find any guesthouse. This is your wedding room. This isn't right."

Jiang Wan gently shook her head. She wouldn't do such a thing. How could she let just anyone live in the bridal chamber? It wasn't allowed after marriage, and it was even more unacceptable before marriage.

"It's alright, there are two rooms here, you can stay in the master bedroom."

Besides, we'll all be family from now on, and I'll still have to call you "Mom."

Cheng Kaiyan smiled, not caring about this at all; only Aunt Wan, her aunt, and her mother received such treatment.

"Yes, Mom, let's stay here together for a while. I want to tidy up the house these next few days and see if there's anything we're missing."

Liu Xiaoli nodded quietly and gently advised, "Besides, Kaiyan is going on a business trip tomorrow. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay here with me? You don't need to waste money by staying at a guesthouse."

"Sister Wan, just stay here. What's there to worry about? Kaiyan, why don't you call her 'Mom'?"

Xu Yuxiu also spoke up.

"Mom, please stay here."

Cheng Kaiyan quickly changed her tune.

“Good boy, Mom will shamelessly stay here for a few days.”

Jiang Wan's eyes softened, and her gaze toward Cheng Kaiyan finally showed more affection and fondness.

As the saying goes, a son-in-law is like half a son.

Their two families are so close, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're like sons!

As she thought about it, Jiang Wan finally let go of her past grievances and truly accepted Cheng Kaiyan.

"By the way, you're going on a business trip tomorrow?"

Jiang Wan suddenly asked.

"It's about making a movie. A project is going to be made into a movie, and I'm the screenwriter and the male lead. I'll be working on it for about a month."

Cheng Kaiyan answered truthfully that she would find out about this sooner or later.

"Can you come back on May 5th?"

Jiang Wan hurriedly asked, "We can't miss the engagement!"
"I'll definitely be able to get back. I'll be back on May 1st."

"Then it's alright. What movie is this? Love Letter?"

"He's going to Japan to film."

Liu Xiaoli remained as calm and composed as ever, but her tone seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

Cheng Kaiyan was shocked and felt very guilty upon hearing this.

Fortunately, Sister Xiaoli is an understanding and intelligent girl. Some things need to be said, and some things need to be kept in mind.

This is a woman's wisdom.

A TV series was playing on the television in the living room, and five people were chatting animatedly on the sofa, mainly about Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan, as well as their daily lives and studies.

At 11 o'clock, Liu Xiaoli and Cheng Kaiyan went downstairs together to the nearby vegetable market to buy groceries.

Eggplant, tomatoes, green peppers, eggs, a bag of Northeast rice, and pork, etc., enough for about three days.

Liu Xiaoli naturally took charge of cooking lunch, while Cheng Kaiyan went to help out.

Seeing the respectful and loving relationship between the two in the living room, Jiang Wan was very pleased.

In typical families, housework falls entirely on the woman's shoulders, and men rarely help.

"Kaiyan and Xiaoli are so loving! That's wonderful! They need to support each other like this to go further in life."

Jiang Wan looked tenderly at the two people in the kitchen and murmured.

"People like the two of them are extremely rare."

Jiang Ting was sipping a cup of hot tea when she suddenly spoke.

"Ah Ting, you and Ning Ruzheng are now..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan thought of her sister's marriage and asked in silence.

If she had known things would turn out this way, she would never have agreed to the marriage.

Jiang Ting shook her head and said calmly, "I have no relationship with him."

"Is that so? Actually... if you really can't accept it, I support you, but... what will you do in the future?"

Jiang Wan hugged her sister's shoulder tenderly and whispered in Jiang Ting's delicate ear.

"Is there a difference?"

"..."

"With Xiao Yan... that's enough for me, I don't need much."

Jiang Ting turned her head, her cold and indifferent phoenix eyes looking at the man busy in the kitchen, a hint of tenderness and longing flashing in her eyes.

"They are all good kids and will take good care of you."

Jiang Wan suddenly felt that her younger sister's attitude towards Cheng Kaiyan was unusually close, not like that of an aunt and niece, nor like that of a nephew-in-law.

Perhaps it's because the two of them saved each other's lives?
……

The table was laden with food, six dishes including fish, meat, and vegetables—a truly sumptuous meal.

The family ate their food and drank chilled beverages from the refrigerator while discussing the details of their engagement in May.

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious and pleasant.

After lunch, everyone sat on the sofa for a while to digest.

Then Liu Xiaoli, Aunt Wan, and her mother went to tidy up the two rooms.

Cheng Kaiyan then took her aunt back to the teachers' compound to get some of Xiaoli's clothes so that she could stay for a few days.

The midday sun was quite hot.

On the street, a bicycle was being ridden slowly.

Jiang Ting sat in the back seat of the car, one of her delicate hands around Cheng Kaiyan's waist, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Jiajia's birthday is in a few days, have you prepared a gift yet?"

The icy beauty suddenly asked a strange question.
