Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 526: Don’t Call Me That
Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Don’t Call Me That
The Qin Family was overjoyed upon hearing the news of Lin Chuxia’s pregnancy.
Especially Mrs. Qin and Zhang Guilan, who kept giving numerous reminders to Lin Chuxia.
If Zhang Guilan hadn’t just finished her confinement, Mrs. Qin would have insisted on going to the city with the young couple to take care of Lin Chuxia.
Zhang Guilan didn’t mind at all and wholeheartedly agreed.
In the end, it was Lin Chuxia who calmed them both down.
Probably due to her good health, Lin Chuxia didn’t have any reactions after getting pregnant except for being sleepy.
She could eat, drink, and sleep without any issues and didn’t need any special care.
Besides, there were Qin Yang and Old Master He.
Back at home, as soon as it got cold, the village’s vegetable greenhouses started getting busy again.
The farming supply store always needed someone to watch it, Qin Han was experimenting with a strawberry greenhouse, and with two kids at home, they needed some help.
Even so, Mrs. Qin brought them a lot of things, reminding her to take care of her health and nutrition.
After leaving the Qin Family, Lin Chuxia went to visit Old Master He.
Old Master He was ready to go, and the Su family hadn’t left yet, as they wanted to see him off.
Making it such an official affair made Old Master He a bit uneasy.
He said to Granny Su, who was holding the little great-grandson, "Look at you all, making it seem like I won’t be able to come back. Don’t think it’s over just because you’re seeing me off. Wait till my dear grandchild is born, I’ll definitely bring him back to compete with you."
Granny Su gave him a sideways glance, "Phooey, phooey, phooey, stop jinxing it. I’ll be waiting for you to come back and compete with me."
Despite his casual words, Old Master He looked back at the small courtyard with eyes full of reluctance.
Lin Chuxia hadn’t seen that expression in his eyes for a long time.
She also remembered how he had looked at a photo for a long time while packing.
She knew why he didn’t want to follow her to the city in the past.
The attachment in his heart couldn’t be let go.
"Master, don’t worry. Even if you go with us to Yan City, I’ll make sure everything here is taken care of. No matter what, we can’t have someone sneak into our home," she said deliberately.
Old Master He glanced at her, "What is there to steal in this worn-out place?"
"How could there not be? This little home is worth a fortune. If you don’t mind, I do, because these will be mine someday," Lin Chuxia said as if it was only natural, which made Old Master He smack her on the head.
"Alright, you little rascal. You’ve had your eyes on my things all along, haven’t you?"
"Ouch..."
Lin Chuxia wasn’t prepared and was hit solidly.
She rubbed her head and shrank her neck, looking at Old Master He with a grievance, filled with accusation.
"What do you mean I’m eyeing them? Didn’t you say so before? When you went to see your old friends, you even told me to take care of everything because it would all be mine. Now you’re going back on your word?"
Old Master He awkwardly touched his nose, as he did indeed say that before.
"Are we going or not? I’m getting in the car first."
Avoiding Lin Chuxia’s gaze, he climbed into the Jeep.
Yet this banter indeed improved Old Master He’s mood.
Sitting in the car, he watched Lin Chuxia detail her instructions to Su Wensong to keep an eye on the house. Even if he was busy, he should send an employee over regularly.
Su Wensong reassured her that he would swing by before and after work from now on.
The Su Family wasn’t far from this place, and passing by on the way to work wasn’t out of the way.
At this moment, all of Old Master He’s hesitation vanished.
This little apprentice of his understood him best.
"Go back now, Lady Su Senior. Take good care of yourself. Without me around, make sure you listen to the kids," he shouted to Granny Su through the car window.
Granny Su waved her hand, "Don’t worry about me, I don’t need your concern. But you, make sure to listen to the kids."
As the car gradually drove farther away, and the figures behind the car along with the small courtyard disappeared, Old Master He finally turned around.
......
Upon reaching the city, they first settled Old Master He in.
Old Master He’s small courtyard was less than a kilometer away from their residential compound, even within walking distance.
Qin Jianjun indeed took care of everything efficiently. The small courtyard was not only warm and cozy, but all necessary items were well-equipped.
From large items like tables and chairs to small ones like a teacup or a pair of scissors.
Even the kitchen was equipped with all the pots and pans needed.
Knowing that Old Master He was coming over today, Qin Jianjun even took the time to turn on the heating, making the room warm and cozy as soon as they entered.
"Master, settle in first. If there’s anything you still need, let me know, and I’ll get it for you," Lin Chuxia said as she unpacked Old Master He’s luggage.
Old Master He didn’t expect his apprentice to be so considerate and thorough.
Though he knew she had her subordinates do these things, if it weren’t for her attention, they wouldn’t have done such a good job.
He placed his cherished potted plants in the room and waved his hand.
"Alright, just take care of yourself. You’re not alone now. Later, call your nephew over so I can take a look at him."
Lin Chuxia had already mentioned earlier that Qin Jianjun had arranged most of this.
She was thinking of having dinner here with the old man tonight, and nodded, "Sure, I’ll have Qin Yang call him over and pick up some groceries on the way."
Qin Yang was busy tidying up things at home. Before going to fetch Qin Jianjun, he reminded, "Leave these for me to handle when I get back. Just chat with Master meanwhile."
Lin Chuxia knew he treated her like a treasure.
"Got it, nagging. You’ve told me this several times today."
Qin Yang smiled helplessly, glanced inside, saw Old Master He still tending to his plants, and leaned over to check on Lin Chuxia’s forehead.
It was still where Old Master He had hit her. Earlier in An City, he already massaged it for her while Old Master He wasn’t paying attention, but was still worried.
Lin Chuxia stifled a laugh and whispered, "Actually, it doesn’t hurt that much. Master wouldn’t really hit me hard."
"Mm," Qin Yang replied while massaging her again.
......
In the evening, not only did Qin Jianjun come over, but Houzi also followed, knowing Old Master He had arrived.
After Lin Chuxia moved to Yan City, Old Master He asked Su Wensong to look after things in An City.
Whenever there was something on Old Master He’s side, Su Wensong would send Houzi over.
Over time, Houzi and Old Master He became well acquainted.
With a cheerful and likeable personality, Houzi won over Old Master He, who, despite his stern face, enjoyed lively company, and the two got along well.
Houzi brought meat and fish, while Qin Jianjun and Qin Yang carried vegetables, indeed buying quite a lot.
Seeing Old Master He from afar, Houzi called out "Master," but Old Master He, with a smile in his eyes, deliberately corrected, "I’m not your master. Stop calling me that."
