Chapter 222

Chu Ze really didn't care too much about the wedding house, probably because Xia Anruo didn't seem to pay much attention to this issue either.

The two of them usually think more about what to eat for lunch and whether to wear black or white stockings at night than they think about the house.

After all, they both have plenty of money, so houses aren't something they value as much as ordinary couples.

Xia Anruo is not like many ordinary girls who require the man to have a house before she is willing to marry him.

She had no need to buy a house at all. Her family had plenty of houses, and the two of them lived quite comfortably now. Moreover, since she started living with Chu Ze, the villa they originally owned in Los Angeles was now empty and gathering dust.

In the evening, Chu Ze told Xia Anruo on the video call that he was planning to buy a wedding house.

Xia Anruo said: "Wedding house? Why do we need to buy a wedding house? If you think this house is too small, I have a villa in the north of the city..."

"That's not the question..." Chu Ze shook his head.

"What's the problem? If you don't like villas, we have large flats, apartments, and..." Xia Anruo said again.

"Stop, stop, stop. How many houses do you have?" Chu Ze was stunned.

"I can't remember." Xia Anruo frowned, as if she was trying to count the properties under her name, but she gave up after a while.

"How can you not remember how many houses you have?" Chu Ze didn't believe it.

"Do you remember how many pieces of bread you have eaten?" Xia Anruo said lightly.

For ordinary people, working hard all their lives just to save money to buy a house and get married, so that they can have a home of their own in this huge city, is a big deal.

But for Xia Anruo, this destination seems to be too many, too many to count...

"..."

Okay, you’re awesome.

Chu Ze said that although he didn't remember how many pieces of bread he ate, he knew that Xia Anruo's bread was delicious, especially when it was stuffed with ham.

"So there's no need to buy a wedding house. The house here is too big for us to live in." Xia Anruo continued.

"No matter how many houses you have, they are still yours. My mother means that the wedding house must be mine, and I can't use the woman's house." Chu Ze explained.

"Is that so... Then I'll transfer my house to you, and it will be yours." Xia Anruo suddenly had an idea and thought of a good way.

"Is there such a thing?" Chu Ze was shocked.

"In this way, we don't have to buy a house and can still meet our mother's needs?" Xia Anruo said with a smile.

"Forget it, my mother will definitely not agree if she knows." Chu Ze thought about it and shook his head.

"Why don't you just not tell her? She doesn't know it's my room anyway."

Chu Ze said that this soft rice is really delicious.

I listened to people's advice, had enough food to eat, and indeed married a rich woman, which saved me many years of going astray.

But Chu Ze still decided to live off the fat of the land: "Forget it, I'll buy another one in Ancheng, so that even if we don't live there, I can give it to my parents to live in."

"Alright."

Xia Anruo had no objection either.

Although they decided to buy a house in Ancheng, Chu Ze had to work in Jiangcheng, which was inconvenient, so he left the task of house hunting to his parents.

……

In a blink of an eye, it’s Chinese New Year again.

This year, Xia Anruo will still celebrate the New Year at Chu Ze's house. After all, it is the first year after getting the marriage certificate, so she must celebrate the New Year at the man's house.

Anyway, Chu Ze and his wife have made a plan. This year they will celebrate the New Year at Chu Ze's house, and next year they will celebrate the New Year at Xia Anruo's house, or they can just celebrate the New Year at home. It's fair to take turns this way, so that they won't have to neglect taking care of both sets of parents, as they are very close anyway.

As the New Year was coming to an end, while shopping for New Year goods, Chu Wanqing was listening to Gong Xi Fa Cai on the radio. She jumped excitedly and pointed at the radio: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, that's the song you sang!"

That's right!

After many years, Xia Anruo was finally able to work overtime during the Chinese New Year.

Although Xia Anruo's singing of this song still lacks some of Dehua's charm, it is enough to arouse Chu Ze's DNA.

After being reborn for so long, I finally feel the festive atmosphere of the New Year and feel comfortable.

"Is this why you insisted on me singing this song?" Xia Anruo looked at Chu Ze upon seeing this.

She thought of the scene after the Chinese New Year last year when Chu Ze took this song and insisted that she sing it.

Before, she didn’t understand why Chu Ze was so persistent, but now, hearing her own singing filling the entire mall, she seemed to know the reason.

"Don't you think it's interesting that your singing can be heard everywhere during the New Year?" Chu Ze said with a smile.

"I don't think so. It's very awkward." Xia Anruo curled her lips.

Wherever I go during the Chinese New Year, I can hear my own voice. It feels weird no matter how I think about it.

"What's so awkward about it? I'll hear your congratulations every year from now on. Then you'll become the modern God of Wealth." Chu Ze said as he clasped his hands together and bowed to Xia Anruo.

"Why are you worshipping me?"

"Shouldn't we worship the God of Wealth?"

Xia Anruo was furious and kicked him: "Go to hell."

Chu Ze didn't dodge when he saw this. Instead, he reached out and skillfully grabbed her kicking leg: "It's a good opportunity to hug the God of Wealth's thigh again."

Then he rubbed some oil on her long legs and touched them twice. The flesh on her thighs felt very elastic.

"Okay, now at least two small goals for next year have been achieved." Chu Ze laughed.

"..."

Xia Anruo raised his fist expressionlessly.

"Don't run, the God of Wealth will give you two more big red envelopes!"

……

New Year's Eve.

Although Xia Anruo and he had celebrated the New Year together last year, this year was the first time they truly had New Year's Eve dinner together as a family.

It is a real reunion.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, this year Chu Wanqing took the cards and dragged Xia Anruo to try to use her best game of Landlord to avenge her previous shame...

Chu Wanqing looked at the five remaining cards in his hand, and then at the seventeen cards in Xia Anruo's hand.

Five cards versus seventeen, the advantage is on me.

Can you defeat me in seconds with just seventeen cards?

"airplane."

The next second, Xia Anruo had played all the cards in his hand.

A classic re-imagined.

"Sister-in-law, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala." Chu Wanqing threw the cards and decisively gave up playing cards.

At a young age, he realized the dangers of gambling, and between playing cards and the Spring Festival Gala, he resolutely chose Akaishi.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the sound of firecrackers exploded in my ears one after another, and fireworks outside the window sparkled in the air, making the night sky as gorgeous as during the day.

In front of the bedroom window, Xia Anruo leaned against Chu Ze, watching the fireworks and muttering to herself: "It's gone so fast, another year has passed."

"But this year is a memorable year." Chu Ze said in a low voice, staring at the fireworks in a daze.

After so long, they finally got married this year and will have a family from now on.

call out--!
Snapped--!
Another huge firework shot up into the sky, and the blooming flames covered half of the sky.

"So beautiful! Why didn't I think fireworks were so beautiful before?" Xia Anruo was stunned for a moment by the gorgeous colors reflected in her eyes.

Hearing Xia Anruo's mumbling, Chu Ze said shamelessly: "Because there wasn't a handsome guy like me by your side before."

Xia Anruo looked at the night sky quietly and surprisingly did not refute.

Being with the one you love most is the most beautiful scenery.

"Then how long can we enjoy this scenery together?" she asked.

"Do you still need to ask? Of course it's a lifetime." Chu Ze scratched her delicate nose, feeling that this question was a bit redundant.

"Are you so confident?" Xia Anruo looked up at him.

"Don't you have confidence?" Chu Ze asked back. "Girls are always worried about gains and losses." Xia Anruo pouted.

It is human nature to worry about losing happiness when you are happy.

The happier you are, the less secure you feel.

"Is that so..." Chu Ze pondered for a moment, "Then I have a way to make you not worry about gains and losses and have wild thoughts."

"What method?" Xia Anruo was curious.

"Hehe, of course it's to give birth to a baby!" Chu Ze bent down, skillfully hooked Xia Anruo's legs, and picked her up like a princess.

Xia Anruo exclaimed and patted his chest in a reproachful manner: "Stop making trouble, the wedding hasn't taken place yet, do you want me to get married with a big belly?"

"Don't worry, it's just a joke. I brought it." Chu Ze said that he knew his limits.

Xia Anruo put her jade hand on his chest and shook her head: "That won't work either. Your house is not soundproofed well."

"How do you know?" Chu Ze asked puzzledly.

Have you told her that the soundproofing at home is not good?
"A few days ago, I could hear Qingqing next door laughing while watching videos late at night. What do you think?" Xia Anruo rolled her eyes at him.

Chu Ze smiled and said, "It's okay, just keep your voice down later."

"At that time...how could I bear it?" Xia Anruo said this with great shame.

Can this sound be controlled?

This is a physiological reaction.

"It's okay, I'll shut you up." Chu Ze said, and without waiting for Xia Anruo to react, he threw her onto the bed, then pounced on her like a hungry tiger.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired!
"Word is very big, please bear with it." Chu Ze said.

"It doesn't matter. No matter how big Word is, it still belongs to Microsoft." Xia Anruo replied.

"???"

The sound of fireworks was soon mixed with beautiful music and cries for mercy.

New Year's Day.

New year, new atmosphere.

However, both of them were exhausted on the first day of the new year.

Last night, two supreme beings fought to the edge of the universe, and the great road was wiped out, just because of a sentence that no matter how big Word is, it is still a mockery of Microsoft.

They slept until almost noon before waking up.

The first thing Chu Ze did when he woke up:

"Would you like to get up early and do some morning exercise first?"

"Go away." Xia Anruo pushed him away weakly, "Isn't one night enough?"

"A day's plan begins in the morning!" Chu Ze hugged her jade-like body, rubbed her big white bowl, and gave her a kiss.

"It's already noon, and you're still doing morning exercises." Xia Anruo slapped his dishonest hands away, took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was already eleven o'clock.

It's time for lunch.

"It's so late?" Chu Ze was also startled. He looked out the window and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. He was surprised and said, "My mother didn't even call us for breakfast."

Normally, Jiang Huiqin would come and knock on the door and call out regardless of whether they had breakfast or not.

"Maybe he shouted, but we were too soundly asleep to hear it." Xia Anruo didn't care. She lifted the quilt and tried to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground.

However, because the air conditioner was turned off at some point and she was naked, as soon as she lifted the quilt, the cold air from outside rushed in instantly, making Xia Anruo shiver and quickly retreat back into the quilt.

Glancing at the underwear panties that had already flown to the door, Xia Anruo looked at Chu Ze resentfully and ordered, "You, go pick up my clothes."

"Can't you pick it up yourself?" Chu Ze said.

"I'm cold." Xia Anruo said.

"I'm cold too."

"Who told you to throw it so far last night? Whoever throws it should pick it up." Xia Anruo glared at him unhappily.

Chu Ze scratched his head.

Not tearing his clothes at that time was a very civilized act on his part.

They got out of bed, quickly picked up all the clothes on the floor and got back into bed. Then they hid under the quilt and started to change their clothes.

"Where are my underwear?"

"Aren't your underwear here?"

"this is yours."

"Mine? Then whose are these I'm wearing?"

"What do you say?"

"Sorry, it's too dark inside the quilt, I took the wrong one. Why is that so ridiculous?"

"..."

The two of them took their time putting on their clothes. Xia Anruo went to the bathroom to wash up first. When Chu Ze walked out of the room, he happened to run into Chu Wanqing who also came out of the bedroom.

"You got up so late too?" Chu Ze said happily when he saw Chu Wanqing still looking sleepy.

It's not that they just overslept.

"Because I fell asleep very late last night." Chu Wanqing said with a pout.

"Did you stay up last night?" Chu Ze asked.

"No." Chu Wanqing shook his head.

"Then why do you stay up so late? Even if you are young, you should avoid staying up late. It is not good for your health." Chu Ze put on the airs of an older brother and said kindly.

Chu Wanqing looked strange when he heard this: "Brother, why do I sleep so late? Don't you have any idea?"

"Hmm? What does it have to do with me?"

"Can you and your sister-in-law keep down the noise at night and consider the feelings of the innocent girl next door?" Chu Wanqing gritted his teeth.

Do you understand how a pure and innocent little girl feels when she is forced to eavesdrop on what’s going on in the corner next door all night?

Are you trying to get her involved?
Quite kind.

"..."

Chu Ze was embarrassed: "Well, no, well...is the soundproofing in our room really that bad?"

"You've lived at home for twenty years, don't you know?" Chu Wanqing was speechless.

"...Last night was special." Chu Ze scratched his face.

Being heard by his own sister about this, even Chu Ze, who was thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed.

“It’s not only a big noise, but it also takes so long…” Chu Wanqing wasn’t done complaining yet.

Chu Ze coughed and said, "What do you know, little kid? Your brother is actively responding to national policies."

After washing up, I went to the living room. Jiang Huiqin was busy in the kitchen.

Chu Mingtao, who was watching TV on the sofa, looked at Chu Ze with a meaningful look: "Are you up?"

"Get up, get up."

Chu Ze felt inexplicably guilty when being stared at by Comrade Lao Chu.

This...my parents' room is not next to mine, so I can't hear it, right?
"Dad, why are you staring at me?"

"Nothing, let's eat." Chu Mingtao stared for a while without saying anything, just stood up and walked to the dining table and sat down.

The table was filled with leftovers from last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner, plus a few new dishes that Jiang Huiqin had just cooked.

After everyone was seated, Chu Mingtao picked up a piece of fried leek and eggs and gave it to Chu Ze:

"Your mother cooked it specially for you. Eat more to replenish your body."

"..."

Gan!
I knew it……

From now on, you must buy a new house with good sound insulation!
