32: You Can Stay With Us

You Can Stay With Us

"But I didn't see Chi Yang for a month. I miss him too, so I want to sit with him."1

Zhong Qianqian was aggrieved. "Nuannuan, are you still unwilling to forgive me? We were so close before! What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like a stranger with me just because we haven't seen each other in a month?"

"You're overthinking. We're always around each other. But because of Chi Yang's work, I can't see him that often. Sis, please forgive my loneliness after not seeing my boyfriend for one whole month. I'll agree to whatever sitting arrangements with you after Chi Yang's return to the military base."

"This kid is so shameless," Jiang Shuwan said in a doting way to Zhong Nuannuan after coming out of the kitchen. 

"Uncle Zhong, you're the master of the house. I can't be sitting here. This is not right." Chi Yang firmly stood his ground. He did not sit down.

Zhong Kuijun was afraid that Chi Yang would get mad, so he chuckled and said, "Alright, Qianqian. Even if you're close with Nuannuan, you still have to consider Chi Yang's feelings now that he's here."

"..."

Zhong Qianqian bit her lips aggrievedly. She did not want to let Zhong Nuannuan sit with Chi Yang. She wanted to say something, but when Zhong Kuijun noticed that she did not want to move, he said to Zhong Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, you and Chi Yang should sit here."

"Alright."

Zhong Nuannuan quickly got up and pulled Chi Yang over to the other side of the table, acting as if Zhong Qianqian was infected with a deadly virus.

Chi Yang held Zhong Nuannuan's hand in his. His face was filled with satisfaction now that he could sit with his wife and eat while holding her hand. 

Zhong Qianqian's face that was full of spite was the total opposite of Chi Yang's. 

"Come, Chi Yang, taste this. This is the wine that your aunty chose from Château Margaux. I wouldn't even open it if you were not here today."

Zhong Kuijun was about to pour the wine for Chi Yang.

"Uncle Zhong, I have to drive back to the military base later, so I'm afraid I won't be able to drink tonight."

Zhong Kuijun was startled. His face was filled with regret. 

After seeing this, Zhong Nuannuan said, "Chi Yang, just have a few glasses with my dad. Both of you are from the same military base. If you really can't drive, you can just stay here and return to the military base with my dad tomorrow."

The whole family agreed with Zhong Nuannuan's suggestion. 

Jiang Shuwan agreed with his daughter and said, "Nuannuan is right. Just stay here tonight. We're a family now, so you don't have to be shy."

Zhong Kuijun replied, "My car is in the workshop now. I can follow you to the military base tomorrow."

Zhong Qianqian chimed in, "Yeah, Big Brother Chi Yang. Just stay here. We have plenty of rooms anyway."

Chi Yang was happy just staying here with his wife. It did not matter if they were sleeping on the same bed or not. 

"Alright, then I'll drink with Uncle Zhong."

"Hahaha, good to hear! Come, let Uncle Zhong pour some wine for you."

The atmosphere really started to lighten when Chi Yang began to drink with Zhong Kuijun.

Chi Yang did not eat much as all he did was to take food for Zhong Nuannuan.

Everything on the plate was the food that she liked. Zhong Nuannuan felt touched after seeing this and was quickly finishing up her food.

Chi Yang and Zhong Nuanuan had only been engaged for three months. They did not really spend a lot of time together during this period, but Chi Yang knew everything that she liked and was taking really good care of her. 

He had been treating Zhong Nuannuan in the same loving way for the past six years they've spent together, but what about her? Zhong Nuannuan had no idea what Chi Yang's favorite food was.

"Chi Yang, you don't have to keep taking food for Nuannuan. You have to eat as well," said Zhong Kuijun. Suddenly, he noticed something. "Eh? You're left-handed?"
