Chapter 290: 283: If you make me pregnant, I will abort it. Chapter 290: 283: If you make me pregnant, I will abort it. On the fifth day, Granny Zhu’s family returned from their hometown.

Next door, Grandma Lin had already started making lanterns, planning to sell them during the Lantern Festival. Xie Shang was skilled with his hands and learned how to do it after watching a few times. Tongtong wanted a little bear lantern, and Xie Shang was making one for her.

Wen Changling’s phone rang, and she checked the caller ID before stepping outside the courtyard to answer.

“How have you been lately?”

Wen Changling did not respond.

“Happy New Year, Wen Changling.” The tone from the other end was very relaxed, as if reminiscing, “Say something, let me hear your voice.”

She spoke, sincerely cursing someone with all seriousness, “Happy New Year, may you reach paradise soon.”

The person on the other end laughed and replied, “Then I wish you get what you wish for.”

Getting what one wishes for, this phrase was a knock reminding her.

Wen Changling hung up and went back to the courtyard, where Xie Shang came over with the lantern.

“For you.”

“Can I make a wish?”

Xie Shang said yes.

Then, wishing Jiang Chengxue would reach paradise soon, Wen Changling “malevolently” made a wish in her heart.

After the seventh day, Wen Changling returned to work, but Xie Shang became idle. Apart from the eight hours she worked, Xie Shang spent the rest of the time with her.

After work, Wen Changling helped Granny Zhu pick out potatoes that had started to sprout, with Granny Zhu saying that it’s best to have two sprouts on each piece, so the potatoes would grow well when planted. Xie Shang, living a life of ease, had never seen how potatoes were grown and watched with great curiosity.

He seemed very free lately.

But just yesterday, Wen Changling saw on social media that Gu Yihuan was complaining about someone being hard to please.

While Wen Changling was cutting potatoes, she casually asked, “Aren’t you working anymore?”

A young master of privilege, pampering a cat and basking in the sun, with skin so pale and fair that it never tans, causing envy casually said, “I don’t want to work anymore, I want to slack off.” He lazily teased, “Miss Wen, how about I take care of the inside, and you take care of the outside?”

Miss Wen rejected the proposal as well as the attempt to live off her, and hummed in response, “If you’re so idle, then come and help me cut the potatoes.”

Xie Shang put down the cat, “Kiss me first.”

Granny Zhu, who was still around, “…” Young people these days really are affectionate.

Wen Changling glared fiercely at him, warning, “It’s broad daylight; don’t be so indecent!”

Xie Shang smiled and moved closer, “Come on, just one kiss, how is that indecent?”

She pushed the chopping board towards Xie Shang, commanding like the head of the household, “Cut the potatoes.”

Alright.
