First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

242 Toss them if you don’t want them

Lu Gui laughed like an idiot again as his heart warmed. The four little ones were such good kids and even remembered to include their uncle.

Lu Jiao glanced at him and wanted to remind him to stop laughing like that. He looked like a true moron.

Before Lu Jiao could speak, Xie Yunjin answered, “Sure. I’ll do as you say.”

He had decided to paint their old home in the Xie Village as the background. Though the house there was tattered, they met Lu Jiao there and Lu Jiao changed their lives.

The house may be gone now, it remains imprinted in their heads. He thought painting the house as he remembered it was a pretty good idea.

Xie Yunjin turned to Lu Jiao and then shoved the cloth bundle into her hands.

Lu Jiao stared at him, weirded out, “What is this?”

Xie Yunjin felt a little shy but he did his best to remain calm, “I bought you some clothes and jewelry.”

The four little ones heard that their dad bought their mom clothes and circled around, “Mommy, open it up! Open it up!”

The children’s excited shouting made Lu Jiao giggle. She opened up the bundle and saw the sets of new clothes and jewelry.

All those new things laid out on the bed appeared extraordinarily dazzling.

Not only were the four little ones stunned, but Lu Jiao was also stunned.

All this stuff must’ve cost a fortune. Why did Xie Yunjin buy her such expensive things? Was he crazy?

Lu Jiao gaped at Xie Yunjin, “Why are you buying me so many new things out of nowhere?”

Xie Yunjin looked at her from head to toe and said, “All your clothes are old. You should buy some new things. Also, you have absolutely no jewelry so I got you something to match the new clothes.”

Lu Jiao naturally knew that. She planned to buy herself some new things soon anyway. Now that she was starting anew in the city, she was going to stop dressing like a poor housewife as she did back in the village.

Apparel makes men look good the way saddles make horses look good. She wasn’t about to get looked down upon by others.

Plus, she had lost a lot of weight and was no longer chubby like before. She was sure that she would look great in clothes now.

She didn’t expect Xie Yunjin to beat her to it.

Lu Jiao bundled up the new clothes to put them in the east bedroom.

Beside the door, Xie Yunjin saw that Lu Jiao showed no sign of excitement. At once, he grew nervous, “You don’t like the clothes?”

Lu Jiao thought about it. She actually really liked the clothes and had to admit that this guy’s got good taste.

Lu Jiao answered, “I like them.”

Happiness arose within Xie Yunjin. He felt accomplished as if his hard work just got validated.

However, once the two of them left the west bedroom, Lu Jiao asked him in a low voice, “How much did you spend on this? I will pay you back.”

Her question dampened Xie Yunjin’s joyous mood. His heart felt like it had just been rained on. He hung his head low and only looked up after several seconds, “Why must you calculate everything down to the tee between us? You’ve bought me a lot of things before and I’ve never done the math with you.”

By the end, Xie Yunjin was so frustrated he stared at Lu Jiao and said, “If you want to bring up money with me, then I will toss the clothes and jewelry.”

He then left in giant steps which made it obvious how furious he was.

Behind him, on the stairs, Lu Jiao watched him go. She didn’t know what to say. She stared at the big bundle in her hands, and a rush of warmness filled her.

All her life, her original life and now, nobody’s ever bought her things just for her, let alone something so expensive. She would be lying for her to claim she wasn’t happy.

She truly was.

Lu Jiao went to the west bedroom to put the things away.

Xie Yunjin didn’t appear again all afternoon. Only until dinner was ready, did he come out. He looked normal and acted like nothing had happened.

Lu Jiao didn’t bring up what happened. The family ate gleefully and the four little ones didn’t even notice the tension between their parents. After all, something exciting was going to happen tonight.

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao thought the children were happy to move into such a big house and didn’t think too much.

After dinner, Lu Jiao and Lu Gui brought the dirty dishes into the kitchen. In this new house, the kitchen wasn’t close by like before. It was now located in the back courtyard very far away. As Lu Jiao carried away the bowls, she vowed to hire some helpers as soon as possible.

There were advantages to having a big house, but big homes meant servants were necessary. Not only was she going to need help cleaning, but she’ll also need help running errands as well.

Lu Jiao and Lu Gui walked together with the dirty dishes while Xie Yunjin followed them a bit further away.

Lu Jiao knew he was angry at her and didn’t talk to him. The three of them ended up washing dishes together in the kitchen.

Lu Gui was in shock as he stared at his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law did housework?! He was also so good at it?! His sister didn’t stop him?!!

Lu Gui couldn’t stop himself, “Brother-in-law, you don’t have to do this. Leave it to me and my sister.”

Lu Jiao ignored him and ordered, “Go boil two giant pots of water. I’m going to bathe the children later.”

Lu Gui glanced at Xie Yunjin, who gave him the okay, “Go ahead.”

Lu Gui had no choice but to go and boil water, leaving behind Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin, who did the dishes in silence.

In the end, it was Xie Yunjin who spoke first, “This afternoon, Classmate Han and I went to transfer the title to the house. I will give you the deed later.”

He was so angry before he forgot to mention it to her.

The mention of the deed excited Lu Jiao. She smiled at Xie Yunjin, “Thank you.”

Though her words made their relationship appear distant, Xie Yunjin knew that was just the kind of person she was. Too lazy to waste his energy being mad, he looked at the gorgeous woman beside him and out of nowhere, felt greedy. Was there a way for him to make up an excuse that would require her to stay?

Lu Jiao wasn’t aware of what he was thinking and smiled at him, “What is it?”

Xie Yunjin reminded himself that he was a man and that if she didn’t want to stay, he had no right to force her to. Most importantly, he had already written her the divorce letter.

Xie Yunjin was quiet. Lu Jiao saw that he didn’t want to chat about it more and changed the subject.

“Now that we’ve moved and got a new place, should we invite your classmates over for dinner?”

Xie Yunjin thought about it. Though he knew he was going to separate from Lu Jiao, nobody else knew. Traditionally, he needed to invite everyone for dinner. Those classmates of his invited him over to their place a lot before.

“Would it be too much trouble?”

He was being very courteous, which made Lu Jiao grin and say, “It’s no trouble at all.”

Xie Yunjin nodded, “Okay. But we’ll only do it once we get some servants. With servants here, you won’t have to cook everything yourself. You can just manage all the work that needs to be done.”
