Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Why haven’t you gone home yet? Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Why haven’t you gone home yet? Su Meixi stared at Bao Min, completely baffled.

This girl… Well, it’s probably because Gu Wei is too outstanding; too many girls like him. That’s why many of them are displeased with her, as if everything she does is wrong.

Bao Min continued, “Don’t think that just because Captain Gu has a high-ranking position, you don’t need to work. Men won’t always like a housewife. Even if being a military wife requires sacrifice, you can’t just stay at home and cook all the time. Besides, you don’t even have children yet. Staying home all day will ruin you.”

Su Meixi could only respond, “Thank you for your concern, Xiao Bao. I’ve actually found a job and will be starting the day after tomorrow.”

Bao Min was taken aback for a moment, then said, “Right, finding a job is the proper thing to do. Are you going to be a cosmetics sales guide or sell clothes? Give us an address, and we’ll come to support your business when the time comes.”

Su Meixi looked at Bao Min speechlessly. Why did she assume she could only be a cosmetics sales guide?

“I studied medicine and am planning to work at a hospital.”

Bao Min: “…”

If there was a competition between professions, being a doctor seemed a bit higher in status than being an elementary school piano teacher.

And this teacher got her job because her uncle is a brigade commander.

Bao Min glared at Su Meixi resentfully. “Doctors are busy, right? If you become a doctor, who’s going to take care of the house?”

The sisters-in-law couldn’t stand it any longer. Bao Min despised housewives one moment, and then when someone decided to work, she worried about who would take care of their home.

Sister Hong said, “Xiao Bao, you really demand a lot. You’re a woman too. Do you expect a woman to be able to work, do housework, bear children, and also take care of them? Isn’t that asking too much?”

Bao Min pointed at Su Meixi, “But Captain Gu is so outstanding; she should be excellent at everything, right?”

Mrs. Feng also said, “Captain Gu isn’t a great soldier while also managing housework and childcare at the same time, right? A person’s energy is limited. One can only take care of one end; if you try to take care of both ends, both will suffer.”

After being reprimanded by the sisters-in-law, Bao Min, unable to refute, just stormed off.

Sister Hong said, “That Xiao Bao, I think she’s eyeing Captain Gu. She’s always been circling around him. And now she’s targeting Xiao Su too.”

“That’s true. The other day, when Captain Gu returned home and she saw him, she called out so coquettishly.”

…

After Su Meixi went back to work, only Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuan were left at home.

In the morning, Gu Cheng awaited Zhou Yuan’s wake-up on the sofa.

Zhou Yuan walked to the dining table and, seeing two bowls of noodles, reflexively said, “Sister Su cooked the noodles so early?”

Gu Cheng looked at her morosely, “Is it possible that I made them? Your Sister Su has already gone to work.”

Zhou Yuan: “…”

Right, Su Meixi had told her about it last night, but she’d forgotten after sleeping.

She looked at the bowl of noodles Gu Cheng had cooked, topped with a misshapen fried egg.

She was indeed hungry; her stomach was already 5 months along, and her hunger was fierce, so she sat down at the dining table to eat the noodles.

However, as soon as she swallowed a mouthful of noodles, she involuntarily threw up.

It was too disgusting.

How could someone cook noodles so terribly?

Seeing Zhou Yuan vomit, Gu Cheng was puzzled for a moment, then he tasted a bite himself.

He was usually very picky about food, demanding perfect flavor, aroma, and presentation, but after cooking for Zhou Yuan a few times over the past few days, he had lost all those quirks.

The very noodles that Zhou Yuan could not stomach, he found somewhat edible because he made them.

“If you think they’re good, then you finish them. I’ll go out and buy something,” Zhou Yuan said.

Gu Cheng took a few more bites and realized he could not go on; the noodles were bearable for no more than two bites, and eating another would make him vomit.

He reluctantly went out with her.

As they exited the residential area, they encountered many residents returning from their shopping.

Gu Cheng felt somewhat embarrassed and once again suggested, “Yuanyuan, you see, we aren’t really from this Military District compound, and now that Ah Xi is at work, it’s not quite appropriate for us to stay in the house here. What do you think about us finding the right time to go back? Otherwise, people might gossip behind our backs, thinking we’ve come here because our family went bankrupt and we’re relying on Gu Wei.”

Zhou Yuan had also considered this issue, as after all, this was a Military District, not a regular residential area, with strict access control. She felt uneasy every day seeing the guards at the gate, in their eyes, she was like someone idle.

She retorted, “Going back to Feng City is fine, but I want to stay at my parents’ home.”

Gu Cheng felt this was manageable; at least she was willing to return to Feng City.

“Alright, as you wish. If you’re willing to go back, I’ll book the flight tickets right away.”

Zhou Yuan said, “Let’s go tomorrow, after Sister Su finishes work. We’ll treat her to a meal before we leave.”

…

Su Meixi was relieved when she heard they were heading back.

It was fine for Zhou Yuan to stay here; two women could chat together, but Gu Cheng staying here every day was somewhat uncomfortable. She had to wake up early to go to work, and passing by the sofa where Gu Cheng slept made noise, and she felt embarrassed.

Zhou Yuan caught the expression on Su Meixi’s face and couldn’t help saying, “Sister Su, do you also wish we’d go back?”

Su Meixi smiled, “It’s time to go back. Your stomach’s over 5 months along now; you should be getting prenatal care. It’s really inconvenient here, isn’t it? Back in Feng City, at least you’ll have a nanny to take care of you.”

The three of them had a meal together, after which Gu Cheng and Zhou Yuan flew back to Feng City.

On the plane, Gu Cheng posted a photo, and after landing, posted another update on his social media: “Finally brought my delicate wife back home!”

This was followed by a page full of likes.

However, Zhou Yuan was going to her parents’ home first.

Thus, Gu Cheng asked the driver who came to pick them up from the airport to take them to the Zhou Family home.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou had been waiting a long time, worried ever since they knew Zhou Yuan had gone to Yun City.

Later, they were even more anxious when they learned she was pregnant, to the point where they couldn’t eat, always urging her to come back.

Zhou Yuan’s return was partly because of Gu Cheng and partly because of her parents.

At home, she was always the little princess.

“Oh my baby, never leave home without telling us again,” Mr. Zhou embraced her as soon as he saw her.

Mrs. Zhou also joined in the hug, and the family of three sobbed as if they had been apart for ages.

Gu Cheng followed with a smile.

This family of three shared a great bond; Yuanyuan truly was a happy little princess, and he decided to continue spoiling her, letting her be a princess for life.

Once Zhou Yuan had finished hugging them, she turned around, saw Gu Cheng still there, and couldn’t help asking, “Why haven’t you gone home yet?”
