Jiang Chenyu glanced at her coldly and turned away.
Gu Nuannuan and Mr. Jiang looked at each other, and she pointed at Jiang Chenyu's back, "Dad, I'm going after my husband again."
With that, she ran to catch up with Jiang Chenyu once again.
She and Jiang Chenyu were talking in low voices. People standing far away could only see Gu Nuannuan's mouth moving, while Jiang Chenyu had a cold expression and said nothing. Even if others strained to hear, they couldn't make out what Gu Nuannuan and Jiang Chenyu were discussing.
Mr. Jiang looked at the two leaving and asked the housekeeper, "Was I just ignored again?"
The housekeeper wisely chose not to answer that fatal question. Instead, he cleverly shifted the conversation to something that would pique Mr. Jiang's interest more. "The second young master stayed in the bridal chamber last night."
"What did you say?" Mr. Jiang was surprised. "Chenyu and Nuannuan were in the same room last night?"
The housekeeper nodded.
"Oh, now I understand." Jiang Lao looked at the spot where the two had disappeared. "No wonder Nuannuan was holding Chenyu's wrist just now—that explains it."
Butler: "..." Master, I didn't say that. Everything is just your speculation.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Lao sat in the main seat, casting several glances at Gu Nuannuan and Jiang Chenyu.
Gu Nuannuan continued chattering away to Jiang Chenyu.
She and Jiang Chenyu engaged in a deep analysis of how severely those who violated the three rules would be condemned from the perspective of moral human nature.
After rambling for a while, Gu Nuannuan asked, "Jiang Chenyu, are you listening to me?"
"No."
Gu Nuannuan whispered, "When we made those three rules, one of them was to move out, and you can't just treat it as a verbal agreement and not follow through."
Jiang Chenyu replied, "I promised to move out, but I never promised when."
Gu Nuannuan was so frustrated she couldn't find words, and she puffed up in anger like a little pufferfish. Her eyebrows furrowed, her lips pouted, and her small, fleshy nose looked as if it might shoot flames.
Jiang Chenyu saw how angry she was with him, and naturally smiled at the sight of the girl.
Jiang Lao's eyes widened as he looked back and forth between Gu Nuannuan and Jiang Chenyu.
Had these two progressed this much already?
All it took was a nap, and...
Gu Nuannuan was unaware of what Jiang Lao was thinking. She pretended to be fierce and said to Jiang Chenyu, "Just wait, you'll regret it."
At that moment, Wei Aihua and her husband arrived at the restaurant.
The harmonious atmosphere quickly vanished, replaced by a tense and oppressive mood.
Yesterday, the housekeeper had reminded Jiang Lao, "Master, you need to treat everyone equally. You're not just the father-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law, but also the father-in-law of the second daughter-in-law."
This advice left Jiang Lao unable to take sides, and he tried to stay neutral.
Wei Aihua, who had been humiliated yesterday, grew even more resentful of Gu Nuannuan, especially after her husband's scolding the night before.
As soon as Gu Nuannuan saw her, she became cautious, knowing that Wei Aihua wouldn't miss the chance to humiliate her.
Jiang Chenyu's eyes glinted with amusement as he looked at the girl beside him, who was already preparing herself for battle. She didn't avoid Wei Aihua's gaze, but instead, stared right back at her.
Mayor Jiang, adhering to the principle of harmony, placed his hand on his wife's under the table, signaling her not to cause trouble.
The more he tried to calm her down, the angrier Wei Aihua became. "Gu Nuannuan, Chenyu doesn't love you at all; he loves Rou'er."
Jiang Chenyu had been enjoying the scene, but he hadn't expected to be dragged into it.
He shot a sharp look at Wei Aihua, who sat diagonally opposite him.
The impulsive Wei Aihua ignored the sudden dark look on Jiang Lao's face.
