Chapter 314 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 8
Zhou Zechuan stopped thinking about the man and started pondering something else.
He has to go out of town in a few days to buy some machines, and he's hesitating about whether to take Jiang Zhiyi with him.
He was worried about leaving her home alone if he didn't take her with him. But if he did take her, he wouldn't be able to accompany her when he went out on errands, and she would be bored alone in the hotel.
"Aunt Zhang." Zhou Zechuan walked into the stairwell.
The weather has been very hot lately, and Aunt Zhang, who lives on the first floor, often stays in the hallway to cool off. Sometimes she picks vegetables with a basket, and sometimes she sits on a small stool and takes a nap...
"Hey, Xiao Zhou, you're back! You're back pretty early today..." Aunt Zhang chatted with him for a few minutes as usual.
However, her eyes were somewhat evasive, and her lips moved unconsciously, as if she wanted to say something but forcibly held back.
Zhou Zechuan didn't notice anything unusual about her and went straight upstairs.
There is no elevator in this building, so you have to climb the stairs. Luckily, they live on a low floor, so they can manage.
"Honey, you're back." Jiang Zhiyi was resting on the sofa, with many shopping boxes scattered on the floor beside her. She hadn't started unpacking yet. "I've only been back a short while, less than ten minutes."
"Are you hungry now? I'll go cook." Zhou Zechuan squatted down and neatly arranged the shoes she had taken off in the entryway.
"I'm not hungry." Jiang Zhiyi shook her head. "Let's make it later. Are you hungry?"
"I'm not too hungry either, let's talk about it later."
Zhou Zechuan was a restless person, so he went over to help her pack the things she had bought that day.
"What is this?" He picked up a thin white garment, which looked like a top and a skirt at the same time. The fabric was very soft and had lace trim.
"Never mind that! It's not for you." Jiang Zhiyi snatched it away.
She only bought this slightly quirky dress because she thought it looked nice.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Zechuan suddenly realized what was going on. He touched his nose and said, "You're not allowed to tease me."
"I didn't," Jiang Zhiyi refused to admit.
Zhou Zechuan looked again and saw that she had also bought a lot of cosmetics and skin care products, but they were all for her use and there were no men's products.
She used to buy him skincare products, so why didn't she buy them this time?
"You didn't buy it for me," he complained softly.
Jiang Zhiyi: "Just use what I haven't finished using, since you don't like using it anyway."
The bottles I bought for him last time have all expired and haven't been used up. Buying them was a waste. From now on, I'll let him use the ones he doesn't want anymore.
Zhou Zechuan was still somewhat dissatisfied. It wasn't that he cared about the money itself, but he felt that she no longer cared about him.
"You used to buy all of these for me..."
Seeing his sullen face, Jiang Zhi could only try to coax him, since she was spending his money. "Okay, I'll make it up to you next time."
She reached out and pinched the flesh on his arm. That area hadn't been this dark before, but now it was quite tanned and reddish. "I'll buy you some sunscreen. Remember to apply it when you're working, so you don't get sunburned."
"Have I gotten a lot darker?" Zhou Zechuan touched his face. Would she dislike him?
"No, he looks just as good as before, and even if he gets tanned, it's still fine; he's still very handsome."
“...I’m not handsome,” he said.
"Handsome! How could you not be handsome?" Jiang Zhiyi leaned over and gave him two quick kisses, leaving lipstick marks on both sides of his face. "Honey, you're the most handsome. No other husband is as handsome as you. You're better than them all. They're not as capable as you, and they're not as considerate as you..."
Zhou Zechuan was a little embarrassed by her praise. Although his expression didn't change obviously, it was clear that he was overjoyed.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner."
"Go ahead, honey, you're amazing," Jiang Zhiyi praised him again.
Watching his smug back, Jiang Zhiyi felt that this person was too easy to coax.
She sat there continuing to pack her things when she suddenly noticed a delicate little box.
What is this? She didn't buy this.
Jiang Zhiyi opened the box, inside was a dazzling gemstone bracelet and a small greeting card with her name on it.
She suddenly remembered that when she and Fang Chengwen left the mall earlier, his assistant hurriedly brought over several gift boxes.
Fang Cheng heard that there was no time to prepare anything, so he asked her to accept a small gift and not to be offended. She saw that it was some fruit and snacks, so she did not refuse.
Could this bracelet have been brought in at the same time? That's probably the only possibility.
Jiang Zhiyi frowned and thought for a moment.
Now that the gifts have already been received, it would be awkward to return them. She'll thank Fang Chengwen later, and if she really feels bad about it, she'll buy him a gift in return.
More importantly... she really liked the bracelet; it was really beautiful, with gemstones that sparkled with a dreamy luster.
Jiang Zhiyi looks really good wearing the bracelet.
"Honey, would you like a fried egg or a poached egg?" Zhou Zechuan asked her as he came out wearing an apron.
Jiang Zhiyi hid her hand to the side, "It's fine with either way, I'll make whichever one you want to eat."
"Okay." Zhou Zechuan noticed her little actions just now, but he didn't ask any questions. He figured she was up to something mischievous and wanted to play a trick on him.
When it was time for dinner.
Zhou Zechuan mentioned that he would be going on a business trip for a few days. "Do you want to stay at home or come with me?"
Jiang Zhiyi took a sip of soup. "I'm not going. I'll just stay home by myself."
It's too hot, and she doesn't want to go through all that trouble.
"Why don't you have Xia Yu come and stay with you for a few days? Or you can go to her house for a couple of days." Zhou Zechuan was still a little worried about leaving her home alone.
"I'll ask her later. I can manage on my own, I'm not a kindergarten kid anymore. Don't worry about your business trip, just remember to bring me a gift when you come back."
Zhou Zechuan instructed her, "Okay, then don't wander around. If you go out to buy something or meet up with any friends, remember to let me know..."
He kept nagging, and Jiang Zhiyi got annoyed and stuffed a meatball into his mouth. "I know, I know. You're so strict. Are you afraid I'll cheat on you?"
Zhou Zechuan could tell there was a joking tone in her words, so he went along with it and replied, "Yes, you'd better watch out. If I catch you, you'll see how I teach you a lesson."
