Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Wei Hongtao also laughed and agreed, "That's right, that's right, it's only right for your uncle to treat you to a meal."

Gu Shuhe blushed instantly.

Shen Tingci also appeared slightly shy.

Wei Hongtao was in a mood for joking around at this time. Since he didn't have a real title yet, he couldn't agree to this, because it would seem frivolous and not like a proper person.

Since Wei Hongtao had already spoken up, Chi Yue naturally wouldn't cook.

If you really made her cook for so many people, she would get annoyed.

The group moved to a nearby state-run restaurant and ate there.

Before going to eat, Gu Yanli brought out the small cakes he had bought at noon.

I gave one to my niece and one to my grandniece.

He gave the rest to Wen Tang.

Wen Tang naturally stuffed it into Chi Yue's hand.

Lin Jiaojiao happily thanked him after receiving the cake, saying, "Uncle, you're the one who loves me the most."

Gu Yanli didn't talk to his niece because she was loose-lipped; if you talked to her too much, she might say something shocking.

She couldn't continue talking by herself, so the conversation ended there.

Since Wei Hongtao had never met Lin Jiaojiao, he smiled and replied, "That's right, what uncle wouldn't love his nephew?"

Lin Jiaojiao stared at the cake with delight, "Really?"

"So, uncles also treat their nephews with a 'spare the rod' attitude, and scolding them is a sign of affection?"

Wei Hongtao “…”

He didn't understand how the topic had shifted to this.

But Lin Jiaojiao answered her own question, "No wonder when my uncle beat my brother, his face turned blue for days."

Everyone "..."

Chen Ying gripped her bag tightly. During lunch, she had been thinking, how could someone so straightforward become a regimental commander at such a young age? If it wasn't because of her eloquence, there must be only one reason: she must have real talent!

What are the true skills of a soldier?

That must be martial arts!

Chen Ying glanced at her son, then stole a glance at Gu Yanli.

You really can't tell anything just by looking at the outside.

Because the two are about the same height and weight.

But Chen Ying had a gut feeling that her son couldn't beat the regimental commander.

Even if both sons were tied together, they couldn't beat him.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

She felt that her son had made the wrong choice in this marriage. As a family of civil officials, why did they choose the daughter of a military general? Wasn't it obvious that they would be manipulated by others in the future?

Filled with anxiety about the future, they arrived at the state-run restaurant.

Before the food was served, Chen Ying took out some money from her purse and gave it to Jiajia.

Chi Yue was surprised that she was being offered money, and her first instinct was to refuse.

Chen Ying said, "It's the first time I'm meeting the child, and I haven't prepared anything. Please keep this and buy something for the child."

Wen Tang gestured for her to keep it.

Chi Yue smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Chen Ying slipped money to Lin Jiaojiao again.

Lin Jiaojiao was pleasantly surprised: "Ah, there's one for me too?"

"Thank you, thank you, Auntie!" Lin Jiaojiao accepted the gift with both hands, stood up, and expressed her gratitude.

Wei Hongtao quickly reminded her to "call..."

Wen Tang kicked his foot under the table. "Call me Grandma!"

Gu Yanli looked at Wen Tang.

Lin Jiaojiao scratched her head and said, "Oh, oh!"

Okay, but Lin Jiaojiao asked, "What's your last name?"

Chen Ying “…”

Wei Hongtao quickly replied, "Your future uncle-in-law's surname is Shen, and your future mother-in-law's surname is Chen."

Lin Jiaojiao thanked Chen Ying, "Thank you, Grandma Chen!"

Chen Ying “…”

Wei Hongtao “…”

Chen Ying forced a smile. "You're welcome. Please... sit down!"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Jiaojiao sat down and started sharing the gift she had received with Jiajia.

Wei Hongtao then looked at his former subordinate: This niece is a bit too fierce!

Gu Yanli didn't have time to look at him because Wen Tang was apologizing to Gu Yanli in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I couldn't see you, I didn't know your legs were stretched out so far!"

Gu Yanli replied, "It's alright, it's not like it's just anyone."

Lin Jiaojiao, being such a chatterbox, was given no chance to continue the conversation. Throughout the meal, she only whispered about crickets to Jiajia beside her.

The aunt and niece were cricket fighting over which food tasted best.

Then the two of them stared at the plate of food.

Everyone else ate quietly, and after finishing their meal, they walked back to the factory under the moonlight.

The accommodation arrangement for the night was that Wen Tang and Gu Shuhe would stay at Chi Yue's place.

Gu Yanli then led Wei Hongtao and Shen Tingci and her son to live in their house.

Wen Tang lives with Chi Yue, so naturally she sleeps with Chi Yue at night.

Jiajia went to share a bed with her aunt and great-aunt.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue slept together, and the two of them inevitably chatted with crickets.

There was something readily available for them to do, and that was Gu Shuhe's job.

Chi Yue asked curiously, "Didn't you say before that this wouldn't work?"

Wen Tang nodded, "I did reject their offer, but that guy is a scheming boy. After I came to Haishi, he transferred Shuhe to work in the county town."

"And it's right next to his workplace."

"And he also took advantage of our absence to go and find the old man who was home alone several times."

“He never gave up,” Wen Tang said, shrugging. “We think it must be genuine.”

"He himself is quite well-off, both in terms of his personal qualities and family background, and he's a sincere person, so we figured it was okay!"

Chi Yue nodded, "She's definitely got some looks!"

Hearing this, Wen Tang couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "Indeed, Gu Yanli himself has certified his good looks."

"He even went to investigate people's character. He also investigated Shi Bin, the one Shu He Xiang had met before, but when he came back, he only said one thing: 'Some people are so ugly that you can't eat just by looking at them.'"

Chi Yue gave a thumbs up, "It has to be the male lead, he's got a sharp tongue!"

Speaking of sharp tongues, Wen Tang immediately thought of Gu Shuhe, and the things Gu Shuhe said that unintentionally made Chen Ying feel depressed when she started talking to Chi Yue about buying things.

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter and fell down together.

Once the laughter subsided, the two leaned against each other, and Wen Tang asked her, "Are you feeling any happier?"

Chi Yue "..."

For a moment, she seemed uneasy; she thought she had hidden it well, but she hadn't expected...

Wen Tang grabbed her hand. "What? You're even keeping this from me now?"

Chi Yue shook her head and touched her belly. "You're already having a hard time carrying two children. How could I possibly bother you with my emotional issues?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Wen Tang immediately turned to face her. "Are you treating me like a fake best friend?"

After Wen Tang finished speaking, Chi Yue fell silent.

Wen Tang waited a couple of breaths before hugging her. "If there's anything that's bothering us, we have to talk about it, okay?"

"Don't keep it all inside. If you keep unhappy things inside, your heart will get sick, you know?" Wen Tang's voice trembled slightly with a hint of tears as she said this.

She hadn't seen Chi Yue for less than ten days, and Chi Yue had become so thin that she looked like a completely different person. If you told her that it was just due to overwork, Wen Tang wouldn't believe you.

Wen Tang didn't believe it, and naturally thought of postpartum depression. Thinking of this, Wen Tang was terrified.

She held onto Chi Yue tightly, refusing to let go. "If running this factory becomes too tiring, we'll stop."
