Chapter 73: Even the most carefully planned plans have loopholes
I drove home in silence.
Jiang Yunhui's heart was in turmoil, but he didn't know how to break the silence. It was not until they reached the door of their house, about to get off the car and go back to their rooms, that he slowly spoke.
"I really want to say that this is my life. If you can't stand it and want to escape, I can understand. But..."
Xiang Nuan had already opened the car door halfway, but after hearing this, she silently closed the door and sat back.
"But how can I shirk responsibility? This is obviously my problem. I was the one whose halo backfired and I was destined to live in a cage. Now I have to impose it on you as a matter of course, making you feel that only by following my standards can you be right or even just. I don't understand what PUA is, but I think your anger must be related to this."
Is this an apology?
Sorry is only three words, why make it so complicated?
She closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and suddenly said, "The people who just confronted the videotapers in the restaurant don't look like they are willing to stay in a cage."
Jiang Yunhui was stunned, even doubting that he had heard wrongly. The atmosphere was already so affectionate, shouldn't you say something like "I didn't know you were having such a hard time, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position", or "It's okay, I'm willing to face it with you"?
He held Xiang Nuan's face with both hands and pulled her closer to him, wishing he could take a closer look at what was going on in this guy's head.
Xiang Nuan's mouth was squeezed into an O shape, and she blinked several times before she realized what had happened.
"You don't want to kiss me?!"
She mumbled, but Jiang Yunhui heard it clearly enough.
He suddenly let go of her hand and sat back down. Xiang Nuan wiped the saliva that was about to flow out and said disdainfully: "That's another price."
you……
I just don’t believe it!
Jiang Yunhui suddenly put his arm around her neck and turned her over. Xiang Nuan subconsciously closed her eyes and mouth, almost feeling his warm breath.
But, one second, two seconds, three seconds... nothing happened.
Xiang Nuan slowly opened one eye, then the other, and the guy's flushed cheeks were right in front of her. She reached out and slapped him hard on the forehead, causing him to quickly let go and cover his head in pain.
"Sure enough, I'm still in the cage and can't break free."
Xiang Nuan said this contemptuously, then opened the door and left.
Is this... contempt? Provocation? Jiang Yunhui was so angry that he slammed the steering wheel while roaring. This woman, this crazy woman! In his frenzy, he slammed the horn, and a piercing sound rang out just as Xiang Nuan opened the door.
Jiang Yunhui saw her looking back with a smile in his regretful eyes. Suddenly, she stretched out a finger and pulled her eyelids: "Lililililililil..."
He suddenly lost his temper and raised his hands in surrender.
"Mrs……"
Seeing Xiang Nuan's brisk steps, Uncle Huo didn't know how to react for a moment. He glanced at Jiang Yunhui's car out of the corner of his eye, and quickly estimated what happened in his mind.
Complete defeat, needless to say. He didn't get out of the car for such a long time. What else was he doing if not hiding his "wound"? !
"Have you had lunch?" Uncle Huo's tone couldn't help but become cheerful.
“I ate, but I wasn’t full.”
The two of them actually went to the kitchen while chatting, not taking Jiang Yunhui seriously at all.
…
In the next two days, Xiang Nuan seemed to be in a good mood. She was busy preparing for her new job and she was full of energy.
"Is she planning to leave us?"
Jiang Ranran finally realized that something was wrong. Although it was true that he was obsessed with robots these days, it was also true that Xiang Nuan was always elusive.
Moreover, his father, who was usually so busy that he forgot what home was, was unusually idle these days. He would stare blankly in the living room from time to time just to watch her come in and out.
"Isn't it a matter of time? How many episodes have you filmed?"
Jiang Ranran counted on her fingers: "Two phases for the farm, one phase for selling things, and four phases for the school!"
Jiang Yunhui nodded. It was almost the fifth episode. As usual... he suddenly remembered something and turned over abruptly: "Did Director Zhang say how many episodes you guys would shoot for this show?"
Jiang Ranran shook his head and said "oh" as if he suddenly understood something. Both the father and son showed expressions of success.
"Dad, do you like Aunt Xiang Nuan?"
Jiang Ranran suddenly changed her expression and asked seriously.
You little idiot, what do you know about love? ! Jiang Yunhui slapped him on the back of the head, which was considered an answer. But his heart was also pounding, and he asked himself the same question secretly, and finally wanted to clear his mind.
Jiang Ranran looked at him unhappily. It was the first time she realized that her father could be so cowardly.
"Don't you still have to rely on me?!"
Hey, boy, your wings have grown strong!
Jiang Ranran rolled to Xiang Nuan like a ball of fur and hugged her thighs without saying a word.
Jiang Yunhui looked at her and held his forehead. What kind of operation was this?! Didn't he know that this crazy woman would not give in to any tricks? He had suffered greatly from her. If being cute could work, he would have already - eh?
She, she, she actually picked up Jiang Ranran and pinched his little face hard.
Jiang Yunhui stared with his eyes wide open, and even after he rolled back to his feet, he still looked at him in disbelief.
"It's done, give it to me." Jiang Ranran stretched out her chubby little hand.
"What?"
"Contract! She promised me to re-sign the contract and help you beat those bad women out, but the three of us signed it together."
Jiang Yunhui's head buzzed, as if someone was driving a supercar through his head.
Aha! He jumped up and gave Jiang Ranran a loud bang on the head.
"You've been duped, you little fool!"
Oh, he, too, is a complete fool!
He looked at Xiang Nuan smugly, making an expression that said "I'm watching you," as if he had seen through her evil plan.
Oops! Xiang Nuan secretly spat in her heart, but her expression was still just right.
Are you sick? She glanced at Jiang Yunhui with disdain, as if she was looking at a fool. But in her heart she felt extremely annoyed and remorseful.
Jiang Ranran was still young and inexperienced. It was all my fault for overestimating his ability and placing the most important bet on him. This was a failure, and Jiang Yunhui had to raise his alert level even higher!
"Do you need my help?" Jiang Yunhui had completely opened up his Ren and Du meridians, and he looked like a ruffian and deserved a beating.
"Does your new boss know that you are going to move your entire home to work? Well, everyone else brings work home, but you use magic to defeat magic and simply move your home to the company. Is he moved to tears by hiring such a dedicated employee like you?"
"Ran Ran came to beg me just now, saying that we can re-sign the contract as long as I don't abandon you and your son, and you can set any conditions." Xiang Nuan was trying hard to make up for himself.
"Re-sign? Sure, but your salary from work will be deducted from the contract. I signed you to let you concentrate on accompanying Ranran on the show, and I didn't say you could slack off and make some extra money."
"Making money through illegal means? I'm not going to make money from you. I'm doing a legitimate job, okay? Where in the contract is it written that I can't do anything other than the show? If you have the guts, show it to me, and we can talk it over!"
You confessed yourself, didn't you?! Jiang Yunhui smiled even more brightly, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. It turned out that it was all a conspiracy, a trap, all about anger, grievance, tears, and burying sugar-coated bullets for Jiang Ranran, all to trick her into signing the contract.
Now, no matter how you perform, in my eyes you are just a "clown" and a spent force. I will never be fooled by you again!
Seeing that she had failed, Xiang Nuan was so angry that she pounced on him like a lion. Jiang Yunhui had no sympathy for her this time. He grabbed her arms and tied her to the suitcase.
"I'll take you there. I, Jiang Yunhui, am definitely not the kind of person who hides his wife in the house as a decoration. I fully support your desire for space and freedom! From now on, your husband will be the first to pick you up when you go to and from get off work."
Jiang Ranran hugged the robot, unable to bear watching this scene. He shook his head helplessly: "Alas, I'd better dismantle my robot honestly!"
