Chapter 30: Married a Good Wife

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In her world, Chen Lan was also a foodie, so she had a lot of knowledge about food. Soon, dinner was ready.

Sweet and sour spare ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised chicken nuggets, steamed bass, and a bowl of silky tofu soup.

The table was neatly set with four dishes and a soup.

As they smelled the delicious aroma filling the air, Du Jiang couldn’t help but gulp. “Ol’ Tang, sister-in-law is amazing! These taste incredible, way better than your usual attempts. You’ve married a good wife!”

Song Lian also nodded approvingly, thinking about all the praises his wife had showered on Chen Lan. Initially, he had thought that his wife didn’t understand Chen Lan, but after witnessing today’s events, he realized that perhaps it was he who didn’t truly understand her.

As he watched the reactions of his comrades, Tang Ye couldn’t help but straighten his chest, a hint of pride on his face.

After dinner, they had a few drinks, but they didn’t drink too much due to regulations.

After sending off Song Lian and Du Jiang, Chen Lan stood up to start clearing the table, and Wen Jing quickly offered to help.

“You two can relax; I’ll clean up. Why don’t you go take a shower first?” Tang Ye suggested.

Chen Lan bypassed him, saying, “It’s okay, you’ve got a bit of a smell from the alcohol. It’s still early. Go and wash up first.”

Tang Ye felt a bit embarrassed. Did Chen Lan complain he smelled bad? He lowered his head and sniffed himself but couldn’t detect any strong odor. Nevertheless, he went inside to get a change of clothes. “I’ll go wash up at Du Jiang’s place.”

With Wen Jing at home, Tang Ye felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Chen Lan watched as Tang Ye disappeared, then smiled and mumbled, “You didn’t seem to be so innocent last night.”

“Lanlan, you go take a shower first. I’ll handle the dishes,” Wen Jing said as she began to prepare water for washing. She had some reservations about Tang Ye, wondering how he could leave all the housework to Chen Lan. Chen Lan should not do any domestic chores.

However, Chen Lan walked over and pushed Wen Jing toward the bathroom. “You wash first. I can handle a few bowls on my own.”

“But…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Lan interrupted her. “You’re not disobeying me now, are you?”

Chen Lan pretended to be angry, making Wen Jing wave her hands and say, “No, of course not. I was just…”

“Then you be a good girl and go take a shower!” Chen Lan handed her a new towel and closed the bathroom door.

After her shower, Tang Ye still hadn’t returned. Chen Lan figured it was because of Wen Jing’s presence. After all, it was summer, and they were all in their pajamas, so it might be awkward to run into each other in the house. He probably thought it was more convenient to come back later when it was time to sleep.

In just a few days, Chen Lan had come to understand Tang Ye quite well.

Chen Lan arranged for Wen Jing to stay in the guest bedroom and brought a new set of bedding for her.

“Xiaojing, show me the clothes you’ve made,” Chen Lan said as she helped Wen Jing make the bed and then sat down, looking at her.

She had spent quite a bit of money today, so Chen Lan was even more eager to find ways to earn money.

Wen Jing obediently took out two pieces of clothing from her bag and handed them to Chen Lan.

Chen Lan carefully examined the clothes, flipping them back and forth, while Wen Jing swallowed nervously beside them.

She always took Chen Lan’s words to heart. She had worked late into the night to make these two pieces and delivered them immediately today. She was very worried that her work might not meet Chen Lan’s standards and would upset her.

Wen Jing was diligent in her work. Even though she had rushed these pieces, the stitches were fine and the quality was top-notch. It would be even better if she used better fabric.

“Xiaojing, you are truly amazing. You’ve done such a great job. I’m sure we can sell these without a doubt!” Chen Lan praised sincerely.

Hearing this, Wen Jing, with her simple and honest nature, smiled. “It’s because your drawings are good.”

Chen Lan suddenly realized that most people wouldn’t be able to make clothes so quickly. Wen Jing had probably rushed to finish them. She also remembered the clothes Wen Jing was wearing when she saw her today and frowned. This sudden change in expression frightened Wen Jing, causing her to quickly suppress her smile.

“Xiaojing, what about the clothes you were supposed to make for yourself?”

Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and replied, “I don’t need new clothes urgently. I’ll finish these first, and then use the remaining fabric to make clothes for myself.”

Chen Lan had bought better quality fabric for Wen Jing to make her clothes. She was afraid that this silly girl might use it for the clothes they intended to sell. “No, you must make your clothes first! If I see you next time, and you’re not wearing new clothes, I’ll be angry!”

Wen Jing always put Chen Lan’s wishes first, so if Chen Lan insisted, she would certainly comply.
