Chapter 526: Chapter 517: Do Husband and Wife Still Need to Sleep in Separate Beds?

Three days, seventy-two hours, absolute peace.

When Jiang Wenhu saw her daughter and son-in-law sitting together on the sofa, the words of concern that were on the tip of her tongue suddenly became hard to express.

She had been thinking that her daughter, having been filming for so many days in the desert of Liangchuan, would certainly look quite worn out, and she had planned to put in some extra effort to replenish her daughter.

But now, what she saw was not only radiant skin but also an overall aura that was remarkably good. How should she put it? It was as if the whole person had been washed in the purest water, and just looking at her made Jiang Wenhu feel at peace.

Not a hint of weariness.

So, the words that came out changed to: "Our Xixi is getting more and more beautiful!"

This time, Jiang Lingxi called Shen Yunqing to come home together. She knew that Jiang Wenhu would be more pleased to see her visiting with Shen Yunqing.

Hearing this, her eyebrows curved slightly, "Mom, you look younger too."

"Really?" Jiang Wenhu touched her own face, "One of my new employees, Little Liu, said the same thing recently. I thought she was just flattering me, but now that you, Xixi, also say so, it seems to be true."

"But I have been in a pretty good mood lately. Your dad has probably learned his lesson thoroughly. Ever since he had his head hurt that time, he completely stopped messing around with that Liu Chengyun and even deleted him from his contact list. Just recently, he found a small company to work as a consultant. He’s still got some capability, just was unwilling to settle down before, but now he seems to have come to terms."

"I also got promoted half a month ago. I was doing hotel room cleaning before, and now I am kind of a small leader, overseeing a whole floor. I just need to check out the standard of the room cleaning under my charge and guide the new employees. My salary also increased by fifteen hundred."

Jiang Lingxi listened carefully and nodded, "That’s nice."

Jiang Wenhu held her daughter’s hand, "In the past few years, your dad, your brother, and even you went through hardships, but now they have become stable and sensible, and you, Xixi, need to be well, too. I don’t really understand the entertainment industry, but I’ve seen the trending topics lately. This industry is always full of controversies. Those harsh words and people’s jealousy, you should treat them as nonsense. Holding onto them would just fulfill their intention. Life is just this one chance; we should strive to be happy. Oh, I only understood this truth when I was nearly fifty. Yunqing, you listen too..."

The two individuals, whose actual age added together wouldn’t be less than Jiang Wenhu’s, exchanged a silent glance, listening to her earnest counsel and nodding obediently.

"However, our Xixi is so smart, seeing how unaffected you are by those words is proof; living with a big heart is a good thing."

"Yes, I understand."

After Jiang Wenhu’s chatter, she glanced at the time and then got up, "Your dad is almost off work, I’m going to call him. There’s a new deli that opened outside our community. Their roast chicken and marinated dishes are just as good as those from big restaurants. I’ll have your dad grab some on his way back."

Watching Jiang Wenhu head into the bedroom, Jiang Lingxi also got up and walked to the balcony, taking the watering can from the shelf next to her to water a few pots of flowers and plants on the windowsill.

Hearing footsteps, she turned to see Shen Yunqing walking over.

"Don’t worry, I’ve recovered well this time."

"Yes, I can see that. Do you want to raise some flowers there too? The balcony there is quite large."

Jiang Lingxi was tempted but still shook her head, "I don’t have time to take care of them."

This time, although she rested for three consecutive days, she never even left the house. However, given the nature of her work, taking care of plants or raising small animals was something she couldn’t personally manage.

Since there was no time to care for them, it was better not to have anything.

Shen Yunqing opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing more.

Jiang Wenhu came out of the bedroom after making the call, saw her daughter and son-in-law whispering on the balcony, smiled knowingly, and headed to the kitchen without stopping.

Just as the rice was steamed and Jiang Wenhu was stir-frying, Shen Yunqing was peeling scallions when the doorbell rang.

The only one free was Jiang Lingxi, so she went to answer the door.

Jiang Runcheng stood at the door holding a bag of hot deli food, seeing his daughter open the door, "I forgot my keys when I went out today."

Jiang Lingxi took the bag of deli food, glancing at Jiang Runcheng as he changed shoes upon entering.

His gray hair was neatly combed, and the style of his suit was somewhat outdated but well-tailored, likely made before the bankruptcy.

He indeed looked more spirited than before, with a calmer demeanor.

"Dad, I bought you a wristwatch."

It was rare for her to return home, so it was impossible not to bring something.

For Jiang Wenhu, it was a set of high-end skincare products. For Jiang Runcheng, it was a watch—both practical gifts for their age.

Yet, Jiang Runcheng looked a bit surprised.

"Why buy a wristwatch? It’s too expensive; you can see the time on your phone."

"It’s not an expensive brand," Jiang Lingxi handed the box from the coffee table to him, "We picked it out together, Yunqing and I."

Shen Yunqing, who was peeling garlic at the moment, looked up and called, "Dad."

"Oh," Jiang Runcheng took the box, recognizing the brand from the logo on it, knowing it wasn’t very pricey—around thirty thousand yuan. Compared to what he wore before the bankruptcy, it was nothing, but it was a suitable accessory for his current situation to add a bit of presence.

He opened it and touched the watch face, "It’s beautiful."

After mixing the final plate of cold dishes, dinner was served.

Jiang Lingxi took the chopsticks Shen Yunqing handed her, "What’s my brother doing now?"

Apologies for only remembering there was an empty chair at the table, it was because she hadn’t contacted him for a while.

Jiang Wenhu paused in the middle of serving, "Didn’t Yunqing tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

Jiang Wenhu put the chicken leg she picked into her daughter’s bowl before saying, "Your brother wants to study music and is aiming to get into Nancheng No.1 High School’s art class. Yunqing helped to pull some strings to get a nod from their side, but he needs to meet the cultural entrance criteria. The usual tutoring classes won’t do, so Yunqing also found him a strict full-time boarding school where he can’t even bring a phone. Once there, it’s all about studying hard, but it guarantees the scores needed."

Shen Yunqing nodded at Jiang Lingxi’s gaze, "Though strict, the management methods are very scientific, as long as Xiao Xu can endure the hardship."

Jiang Lingxi picked a piece of stir-fried yam for him, "Thank you. If he can’t pass even with this, then maybe studying isn’t his thing."

Jiang Wenhu and Jiang Runcheng nodded in agreement, "We told him before he left, if it doesn’t work out, he might as well learn a skill to earn a living. We don’t expect him to achieve great things, as long as he can support himself."

After dinner, Jiang Runcheng didn’t act like a loafer this time, instead getting up on his own to wash the dishes.

Shen Yunqing took on the task of clearing the table.

Jiang Wenhu pulled Jiang Lingxi to tidy up the bedroom, "It’s getting dark outside, you two shouldn’t drive back. Stay here for the night and leave after breakfast tomorrow."

Having just relaxed for three days, Jiang Lingxi didn’t feel like contradicting Jiang Wenhu. She obediently helped make the bed once inside the room.

But seeing Jiang Wenhu close the cabinet and looking at the single blanket on the bed, she couldn’t help asking, "Is there only one blanket?"

"Are you both still sleeping separately as a couple?"

Jiang Lingxi: "..." She had no words!
