Reborn as a top-notch little wife

He walked over slowly and said, "Teacher Xi, long time no see."

Xi Changchang smiled unnaturally: "I just came back yesterday."

Chen Ran's tone was just that of a colleague he hadn't seen for a long time, and his warmth and politeness were just right: "What's the matter with Mr. Xi's visit this time?"

Xi Changchang nodded: "I'll come over to mention the file."

"File files?" Chen Ran said clearly: "Found a new job?"

"Not yet." Xi Changchang answered honestly: "But it can be considered settled."

"In your hometown?"

"Well, my dad's company."

"That's good." Chen Ran congratulated lightly, but suddenly the topic changed: "I wonder if you have seen Zhong Jiamu when you came back this time?"

When he said this, his tone was still gentle and polite, but his eyes were just looking at her, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.

Xi Changchang felt that his palms were starting to sweat. His guilty conscience was completely different from when he was talking to Teacher Wang just now. When they were together in the past, Chen Ran never mentioned Zhong Jiamu in front of her. Even if she mentioned it occasionally without distraction, he would

Change the topic without looking for traces.

There seems to be some taboo.

Even when he was in the hospital, faced with such an unbearable situation, he didn't even ask who the child's father was.

He asked nothing and said nothing, yet he knew everything.

This thought made Xi Changchang cringe, unable to tell even the worst lie.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ran suddenly laughed lightly: "I should have guessed it a long time ago."

Such words had no beginning and no end. Xi Changchang looked at him and saw his eyes falling on her left hand.

On the ring finger is the ring belonging to Zhong Jiamu.

She drew her hands back almost subconsciously.

Chen Ran raised his eyes, with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "Who can make you come back except Zhong Jiamu?"

Xi Changchang wanted to deny it intuitively, but his gaze and tone were too firm, so she could only lower her head and say softly: "I'm sorry."

From beginning to end, it was always her fault.

Chen Ran was silent before saying: "Actually, you don't need to say sorry to me. From the beginning, I was just looking for a result like you. Now that I think about it, it was just interest, not love."

Xi Changchang just lowered his head and said nothing.

"But just now when I asked you if you have seen Zhong Jiamu again, I was thinking, if you say no, I will believe it." He paused, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips: "Even if you lie,

I want to believe it too.”

Xi Changchang had never heard his tone like this before, with some lingering bitterness. She quickly raised her head, but didn't know what to say. She just called him: "Chen Ran..."

Chen Ran only paused for a moment, but he had returned to his usual calm self-control, as if the gaffe just now was just her illusion. He looked at her and said, "Actually, although you look confused, you actually protect yourself better than anyone else."

, and luckily he is as paranoid as Zhong Jiamu." He smiled: "In this regard, I am far inferior to him."

Xi Changchang was just embarrassed, so he moved his lips and smiled.

Chen Ran continued talking to himself: "I am not as paranoid and stubborn as him, so you will always just like me."

Xi Changchang was silent, he was right, she did like him, but it was like liking clothes in a display window that people couldn't take their eyes away from. Elegant and expensive, she walked by the display window over and over again, sighing again and again. Once

I have dreamed of having it, but even if I had it, I would just put it on the shelf and look at it from a distance, satisfied because of vanity, and happy because of accidents.

But Zhong Jiamu... Just thinking of these two words, his chest swelled up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

She was just sad that the beautiful dress was lost because it was so expensive and she could no longer afford it. But if Zhong Jiamu left her... Just thinking about it made her heart ache.

The former is liked, can be transferred, and can be forgotten.

The latter is love, which cannot be rejected or copied.

Chen Ran's voice still came out word for word: "Although I understand it, I still can't accept it."

Xi Changchang looked at him in confusion. Chen Ran greeted her gaze calmly, still smiling: "It doesn't matter if I can't afford to lose or I have a small belly. But Xi Changchang, I don't want to see her again from now on.

you."

His words were still cold yet gentle, but there was something decisive at the bottom.

Xi Changchang opened her mouth, but finally said nothing. She just looked at him and shook her hand vigorously and said, "Xi Changchang, goodbye."

It was already afternoon when he got home. Xi Changchang originally wanted to read a novel for a while, but fell asleep after reading only a few pages.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside, and I could only hear sounds in the kitchen. Zhong Jiamu, a senior in high school, had self-study in the evening, so she should be the only one at home. Could there be a thief? Xi Changchang increased his vigilance.

Quietly, he picked up the most lethal weapon around him - a heavy glass and walked over.

I quietly poked my head outside the kitchen and saw that the person busy in the kitchen was Zhong Jiamu.

Zhong Jiamu happened to turn around and saw Xi Changchang's little head leaning towards the door, holding a heavy glass in one hand. He raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?"

Xi Changchang also felt embarrassed and quickly explained: "I didn't know it was you, I thought there was a thief."

Zhong Jiamu glanced at the water glass in her hand and frowned: "So you took this to hit him?"

Looking at his disapproving expression and then looking at the "weapon" in his hand, it was true that he was not strong enough in combat. Xi Changchang smiled and did not forget to suggest: "Why don't you buy a knife for self-defense tomorrow?"

Zhong Jiamu frowned even more tightly, walked over and took the cup from her hand, and said seriously: "Honey, it seems that you can't judge the situation between us and the enemy clearly. If the person here today is really a thief, you

Do you think you can stop me with a cup and a fruit knife?"

Xi Changchang thought that he was indeed impulsive today and was really dangerous. He quickly changed his ways and made up for his mistakes: "Then if I encounter someone in the future, I will call the police first."

Zhong Jiamu immediately objected: "No." How much time does it take from making a call to when the office staff comes? What's more, in such a small place, the sound of the alarm can easily be heard by gangsters.

Xi Changchang cursed and couldn't help but reply: "Do you have a better way?"

Zhong Jiamu looked serious: "If a thief really enters the room, you have to find a way to sneak out."

What's the theory behind sneaking out and leaving the thief at home?

Xi Changchang couldn't help but put a look of contempt on his face. Zhong Jiamu crossed his arms across his chest, glanced at her coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember?"

Caught by his glance, Xi Changchang bowed her head to the powerful and replied vaguely: "I remember." However, her pouted mouth faithfully expressed her reluctance to be angry and not dare to fight.

Zhong Jiamu glanced at me again: "Answer again."

Xi Changchang suddenly didn't even dare to get angry, and said with a flattering smile: "Remember."

The voice is very clear, like a child in kindergarten answering questions loudly and waiting for candy to be given out.

Finally, when it was time to eat, Zhong Jiamu's cooking skills were average, but he cooked the porridge extremely well.

Xi Changchang drank three bowls in a row and still handed the bowl to Zhong Jiamu: "One more bowl."

Zhong Jiamu filled it for her silently, watched her continue to wolf down the leftover food for a while, and then reminded her unhurriedly: "Honey, don't you think you've been eating more and more recently?"

His tone was joking, but Xi Changchang was shocked when he heard it and stopped moving.

Zhong Jiamu thought she was afraid of getting fat, so he comforted her in a dumbfounded voice: "It's better to eat more. It's soft and comfortable to hold."

Xi Changchang was not in a joking mood. He put down his spoon and looked up at him: "Zhong Jiamu, I will go back in a few days."

Zhong Jiamu's face changed and his tone became colder: "So fast?"

Xi Changchang explained: "I went to school today to submit files, but the school said that I would have to go to the Personnel Bureau and Education Bureau to submit files. I will go there in two days, and I will go back when the files are submitted."

The Zhong family was stunned and just asked: "Did you go to school today to pick up files?" As if this was the most important part.

Thinking that he was talking about him, Xi Changchang continued: "Zhong Jiamu, we have agreed that I will accompany you back for a few days, but I still have to go back."

Zhong Jiamu seemed to have come back to his senses, and his face seemed to be much more relaxed and happy for some reason. However, when he saw Xi Changchang who was waiting for his answer, he immediately put on a resentful expression and complained: "You are so quick

Do you want to leave me alone?"

Xi Changchang looked at him seriously for a few times and confirmed that he and the pitiful people were not equal at all. He showed a rare firm will and said: "Yes."

She answered without hesitation, but Zhong Jiamu was stunned for a moment. The bitter trick didn't work, so he changed it to a threat: "If you are not here, I can't learn."

Speaking of studying, Xi Changchang's face was a little tense: "You don't study at school in the evening, why are you back at this time?"

Zhong Jiamu raised his chin to the table: "I brought the book back."

Xi Changchang disagreed very much: "School is the place for learning, how can there be a learning atmosphere at home?"

"From seven o'clock to five o'clock, ten hours." Zhong Jiamu slowly calculated: "This is already my limit."

Xi Changchang was startled, then realized that he was talking about the time when he would come back from morning to afternoon. A little sweetness came out of his heart. However, he still forced himself to glare at him: "If I find you at home, don't study hard."

If so, go back to school immediately!"

Zhong Jiamu raised his eyebrows, with an indifferent attitude.

Xi Changchang threatened in a dark tone: "Don't think you can pass the test by being confused. While you are reading, I will sit aside and watch you."

Zhong Jiamu's face suddenly looked a little bitter, he didn't say anything and just drank his porridge with his head down.

Xi Changchang thought that the shock was successful and smiled proudly.

The Zhong family laughed happily as the villain's treacherous plan succeeded again.

Xi Changchang didn't expect that Zhong Jiamu actually read the book with great concentration. She was almost shocked by his concentration.

Putting down the "Strange Legend of Martial Arts" in her hand, she raised her eyes and looked at her watch. It was already ten o'clock.

In other words, Zhong Jiamu studied without moving for nearly four hours.

Xi Changchang looked out the window. The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, thousands of houses were lit up, and there was no sign of red rain.

Xi Changchang naively believed that Zhong Jiamu was just showing off like she did when she was watching Xi Juan in class.

As expected, things did not surprise Xi Conan.

She picked up the densely written book in front of Zhong Jiamu. Just by looking at the layout, she knew it was not a textbook or material for the third year of high school.

Xi Changchang grabbed it angrily and saw a few large black characters on the cover: The investment habits of Buffett and Soros.

After flipping through a few pages, uh... I don't understand it at all.

However, this did not prevent Xi Changchang from raising an angry eyebrow at Zhong Jiamu, who was still looking leisurely: "What kind of book is this?"

"Financial investment." Zhong Jiamu answered sincerely.

It was much better than the novels and comics she expected, but Xi Changchang was still angry: "You don't read the textbooks, and you just read these messy things?"

Zhong Jiamu sighed, and hugged Xi Changchang, who was as angry as a little lion with a pom-pom, on his lap and held him down: "It will be five years until I graduate from college. I don't have that much time." Seeing Xi Changchang want to

With a look of protest, he continued unhurriedly: "Besides, even if you get into a so-called good school, you may not have a good job after graduating in four years - I don't have time to spend on those futile things."

What he said was true. Xi Changchang could not refute it, but still insisted dullly: "But you have to go to college."

Zhong Jiamu nodded: "I will get a university degree, but I don't expect to rely on university. What I have to do now is to have a skill. Fortunately, I have some money now, so I might as well start learning from financial investment. Then

Start working hard to make money and support you well."

Xi Changchang, a big woman in the new era, immediately made her decision: "I have a job, so I don't need you to support me."

"No, you can only be raised by me." The grown man Zhong Jiamu said, and deliberately made an oppressed face: "From now on, I will work hard to make money as a cow, a horse, and a skinny person. You can just enjoy the breeze at the beach.

Let’s bask in the sun and play with the poodle in my arms.”

Thinking of that scene, Xi Changchang got goosebumps all over his body and complained unkindly: "Am I so tasteless?"

"Then you do something classy. Let's buy a big house. One room is filled with novels, and in another room is a big beautiful man. From now on, you can get up as late as you want, open your eyes, no matter what

Whether it's novels or whatever, I can read them casually." Over the past few days, he had already figured out her preferences.

Xi Changchang was stunned before he realized that the beautiful man in his mouth was referring to himself. He did not reveal it and deliberately angered him: "Then you have to buy a big, big house because I want to build a harem of beautiful men."

"Okay." Zhong Jiamu was actually very generous. Looking at Xi Changchang who was a little surprised in her arms, he smiled and pecked the corner of her mouth: "East Palace, Zhong Jiamu." He pecked again: "West Palace, Zhong Family

Mu." Then he pecked: "Beigong, Zhongjia Mu."

Before she could finish speaking, she was pushed by Xi Changchang. She looked at him with both shame and smile in her eyes: "You really want to be my concubine?"

Zhong Jiamu looked very serious: "Then when will the emperor turn over his concubine's name?"
