After Transmigrating into a Novel, She Struck It Rich in the 1980s

Jiang Xia stayed up all night reading a retro-themed novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as the male protagonist’s doomed ex-wife in that very story.

Her storyline began ...

584. Chapter 584 Business Trip

Chapter 584 Business Trip

While eating, Gu Heng said to his wife, "I'm going on a business trip for a few days tomorrow."

Dong Yan: "Where are you going?"

Gu Heng: "In Suicheng."

After lunch, Gu Heng went back to his study for a while, rested at home for a while, and then went back to work.

Gu Yue made an appointment with her friends to go shopping.

Dong Yan asked her daughter: "Where are you going again?"

Gu Yue: "I made an appointment with my roommate to go shopping this afternoon. By the way, Zeng Jing and I share a dormitory."

"Where is your roommate Jiang Xia from, Suicheng?"

Gu Yue recalled: "I don't know, she didn't seem to say. Mom, are you curious about her too? Did you know that she changed her watch again today!"

"I'm curious about what she does. Don't get too close to her."

Gu Yue was confused: "Why? I think they are a great couple. You know what? I saw them standing together with Mr. He and Principal Zhou, talking and laughing. Mr. He seemed very close to them. You know that Mr. He usually looks very serious, but he was very kind to them, smiling all the time."

From a distance, she saw Mr. He affectionately patting Jiang Xia's lover's arm twice.

I guess it’s because I can’t reach my shoulders, so I can only take pictures of my arms.

Once, he held Jiang Xia's lover's arm and talked for half a minute.

If he weren’t a close junior, he wouldn’t be able to do this, right?

"It's none of your business who she's close to. I can tell at a glance that they're low-class people. I knew they had low quality when they stood at the entrance of the mall, tugging and tugging at each other, blocking everyone from entering or leaving. And who would change their watches every day? It's so extravagant. Isn't that a capitalist behavior? You should stay away from people like this, lest they lead you astray! You didn't go shopping with her, did you?"

"No! She has to take care of the kids, so she'll leave as soon as get out of class is over."

Gu Yue didn't listen to her at all. What capitalist behavior? It's all reform and opening up. "Mom, I'm leaving now, otherwise I'll be late."

"You should learn to study hard like your elder brother, instead of just going shopping all day."

Gu Yue ran out quickly.

Dong Yan was furious.

After her daughter went out, she thought of something and quickly went to the study.

The book has been put back where it belonged.

She took it out and looked at it, and found that the photo that was more than 20 years old and had been sandwiched in the book was gone.

Dong Yan opened the drawer and looked through the items one by one.

There's none in the drawer either.

Dong Yan laughed angrily.

Is he going to Suicheng with the photo to find someone to see if the child is his biological child?

*There were no classes in the afternoon. Not long after lunch, Jiang Xia lay on the bed to feed and coax her child to sleep.

As a result, she fell asleep before the child did.

Zhou Chenglei held one child in each hand and coaxed them to sleep.

As he walked, he sang in a low voice: "Unity is strength..."

Usually after singing twice, the children will fall asleep.

After he finished singing, he looked down and saw that both children were asleep.

I walked to the bed and was about to call Jiang Xia for help when I saw that Jiang Xia had also fallen asleep.

My brother was not asleep yet. When he saw my father approaching, he grinned at him.

Zhou Chenglei smiled at his son, with smiles in the corners of his eyes and brows. Every time Jiang Xia coaxed the child to sleep, she fell asleep faster than the child.

He carefully placed one of the babies on the big bed.

After freeing my hands, I used both hands to put my daughter into the crib.

Then he carried his brother to the crib.

After that, she covered Jiang Xia's waist and abdomen with a thin blanket to prevent her from catching a cold, and then silently said to her son who was drinking milk and looking at her, "Go to sleep quickly."

Zhou Chenglei walked away after saying this, otherwise he couldn't sleep.

He felt that his elder brother was the most vigilant among the three children.

Recently, Jiang Xia has tried twice to coax him to sleep. Whenever he approaches, he will open his eyes wide and look at him even though he is almost asleep while drinking milk.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or he was born to be very alert.

My younger brother and sister can't do that.

Moreover, my younger brother is very much like Jiang Xia, and he is particularly good at falling asleep in seconds.

After falling asleep, I can't wake up no matter what I do.

My sister is probably a combination of both of them.

Zhou Chenglei came to the desk and sat down, taking Jiang Xia's professional book to look through.

He was not interested, but Jiang Xia liked it and was studying it, so he went to find out more.

He reads fast and can skim through ten lines at a glance. He can finish reading a thick book in just over ten minutes.

When I went to see my brother again, he had also fallen asleep.

He carefully carried the older brother to the crib, moving more gently than he did with the other two children, and let the three siblings sleep together.

Then he pulled Jiang Xia's clothes on and covered her abdomen with a quilt.

This way you won’t be hot or cold.

After doing all this, he continued to sit at the desk and took out a foreign book to translate.

Jiang Xia couldn't sleep well, as he was worried about feeding the baby, and woke up with a start.

His arms were empty, and the three children were sleeping soundly on the infant bed.

Zhou Chenglei was sitting at the desk translating.

The light from outside the window shone in, falling on his soft hair and cold profile.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The way he lowered his head and wrote seriously was heart-warming.

This man gave up everything and stayed at home to take care of the baby so that she could go to college.

In this era, men like him are rare.

After Zhou Chenglei finished translating a page, he seemed to realize something and looked back.

Sure enough, Jiang Xia had woken up and was lying on the bed, looking at himself lazily.

Long hair covered his pillow.

Jiang Xia asked him, "How long have I slept?"

Zhou Chenglei raised his hand and glanced at the time. "I've only slept for ten minutes. I'll continue sleeping for a while."

"You're not sleepy anymore. Go to sleep and I'll translate. You sleep less than I do every day." Jiang Xia sat up and tried to get out of bed.

Zhou Chenglei closed the pen, returned to the bed, and laid down with her in his arms: "Stay with me and sleep for a while."

It's only 1:30 in the afternoon, and she has to get up to breastfeed at night. He said he would only feed the baby with formula at night, but she disagreed.

She said that every child is already fed little breast milk, and the midnight meal cannot be omitted.

How could she get up twice every night to feed the baby without taking a nap at noon? Jiang Xia was in his arms for five minutes, but she still couldn't fall asleep. She took a long nap during pregnancy, but she would be very energetic after sleeping for a few minutes.

"I couldn't sleep, so I remembered."

Zhou Chenglei didn't let her, and she fell asleep in a short while.

He moved his hands up from her back and lowered his head to find her lips.

Jiang Xia was startled and dodged, "Grandma and the others are outside."

"They live in the east room and won't come into our room."

When Jiang Xia woke up again, it was already half past four.

The three children were still sleeping soundly while Zhou Chenglei was quietly translating at the desk.

She propped herself up with her arms, and the movement still caused a slight throbbing.

Zhou Chenglei noticed that she was awake and turned around: "Second aunt stewed papaya and milk, I'll give it to you?"

As he said this, he put down his pen and stood up.

Jiang Xia also stood up, his legs still trembling a little.

Zhou Chenglei noticed and took a quick step to hug her in his arms: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The frequency has been a bit high recently.

Jiang Xia glared at him.

Zhou Chenglei smiled when he saw her blushing.

It's not uncomfortable, it's the opposite.

He picked her up, put his forehead against hers and smiled, "Me too, it's worth it."

No need to be so cautious.

“…”

Jiang Xia didn't understand what it was worth for a moment, and then his eyes widened.

Zhou Chenglei's smile grew even brighter, and he bent down and kissed her.

Then he put Jiang Xia down and was about to say that he would go and stew milk for Duan Mugua, when he saw that his brother had woken up in the crib and was looking at them with his eyes open.

Zhou Chenglei: “…”
