Chapter 177 Jiang Wan Prepares a "Special Gift" for Shang Shixu
Seeing that her father was unmoved, Shang Lingyue had no choice but to temporarily suppress her ulterior motives.
Di Zeqian leaned close to her ear and spoke in a voice he believed only the two of them could hear.
"Moon, I'll have my mother secretly teach you."
Shang Lingyue covered her mouth with her hand, speaking in a voice that she also thought only they could hear.
"No, Brother Xiaoqian!"
"My dad will be unhappy if he finds out."
"You can start learning when Yue'er gets a little older."
Di Zeqian nodded, revealing his small white teeth.
"Okay, Yue'er, let's eat then."
The two little ones sat back down as if nothing had happened.
What they thought was a private conversation was overheard by Jiang Wan and Shang Shixu.
Jiang Wan leaned close to Shang Shixu's ear and made the same gesture as her daughter, but in a whisper.
"Did you hear that, brother?"
"The moon loves you very much~"
Shang Shixu smiled and held the freshly peeled shrimp to her lips.
Jiang Wan instinctively bit down.
The man lowered his head and gently touched her forehead.
"good."
I love you very much too.
Jiang Wan forgot to chew the food in her mouth.
A touch of crimson crept up the tips of her ears.
......
After lunch, Jiang Wan prepared to go back to her room for a nap with Shang Shixu.
However, the two energetic little ones wanted to go play on the trampoline in the yard.
They circled around Jiang Wan, insisting that she come with them.
Jiang Wan couldn't resist the children's coaxing and looked at Shang Shixu.
"You go upstairs to sleep first, I'll play with them for a while."
Shang Lingyue and Di Zeqian: ٩(*´◒`*)۶
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she took one of them by the hand and left, leaving Shang Shixu with a face full of displeasure.
He took out his phone and called Di Wenjun directly.
The call was answered quickly.
"What's wrong?"
"Take your son away."
Di Wenjun was taken aback for a moment, then regained her composure.
"Xiao Qian likes to play at your house."
"Anyway, the kids are on summer vacation, so let him stay a couple more days."
Shang Shixu coldly scoffed.
"Does he like my family? He likes Xiaoyue!"
Di Wenjun understood his father's feelings.
"Growing up together as childhood sweethearts, isn't that wonderful?"
"Didn't we grow up together?"
Shang Shixu ignored his question and instead issued an ultimatum.
"Pick them up tonight."
He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
The beauty of childhood sweethearts is undeniable.
But if something is too easily obtained, it is easily taken for granted.
Shang Shixu decided to teach that brat a lesson about what scarcity marketing is.
......
At 2 PM, Shang Shixu went to the company.
After saying goodbye to him, Jiang Wan took the child back to the villa.
The two little ones went to play with the puzzle, while she went back to her room.
Opening the WeChat group chat, I saw classmates discussing their plans after graduation.
Some people plan to pursue a doctorate, some prepare for employment, and others choose to start their own businesses.
Jiang Wan watched their comments for a while, put down her phone, lay down on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in thought.
She didn't want to pursue a PhD.
I've had enough of school and enough of my research projects.
As for jobs, there aren't any companies I particularly want to apply to.
I have even less interest in starting my own business.
Jiang Wan followed her heart and decided to become a freelance writer.
Write what you want to write, and take on the work you want to take.
I have flexible hours and can occasionally indulge in travel-style writing.
That's settled for now; we'll see what happens later.
Jiang Wan sat up in bed, went to her desk, and opened her laptop.
Click on the document titled "Gift".
Upon seeing the content displayed on the screen, a faint dimple appeared on her face.
The document was filled with stories based on her and Shang Shixu's romantic relationship.
Jiang Wan plans to publish her work as a book.
This idea suddenly came to me two months ago while I was working on a research project.
For the past three years, whether it was their wedding anniversary or Shang Shixu's birthday, Jiang Wan never knew what gift to give him.
However, Shang Shixu is someone who loves rituals.
He liked whatever she gave him.
But Jiang Wan always felt that her gift was lacking.
This year, she will give this "special gift" as a memento of this current stage.
To commemorate the joys and sorrows of the past, and to remember their growth in love.
I imagine he would really like it.
Jiang Wan glanced at the date on her phone.
It is currently late June, and Shang Shixu's birthday is in early September.
The novel is more than half finished.
If she puts in a little more effort, she'll definitely be able to give it to him on his birthday.
Jiang Wan composed herself and began her creative work for the day.
......
Six o'clock in the evening.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Ming Sao Da Bai E: [Baby, I have a work engagement tonight, I'll probably be home around 10 PM]
Go to sleep if you're tired, don't wait for me.
Jiang Wan typed a reply—
Maruko with permed hair: [Okay]
Just as Jiang Wan finished replying, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by her daughter's voice.
"Mommy, open the door!"
Jiang Wan put down her phone and hurried forward.
As soon as the door opened, the two little radishes looked up at her.
Shang Lingyue said in her childish voice, "Mommy, dinner is ready."
Jiang Wan touched her face. "Let's go eat now."
7 PM.
Jiang Wan was on the lawn with her two little ones, playing frisbee with the dog.
A white SUV drove into the gate.
Tao Mengshu got out of the car.
The two little ones' eyes lit up, and they scurried towards her on their short legs.
"Mother!"
"Godmother Tao Tao~!"
Tao Mengshu picked up Shang Lingyue and swung her around once, then put her down, picked up her son and swung him around once as well.
This is how the three of them greet each other.
The two little ones smiled contentedly.
Jiang Wan stepped forward, puzzled.
"Didn't you say you'd pick me up the day after tomorrow? Why are you here now?"
Tao Mengshu told the two little ones to go play somewhere else first.
After they left, she relayed the contents of Shang Shixu's phone call that afternoon in detail.
He shrugged after saying that, making a joke.
"Shang Shixu is the kind of person who can't stand anyone taking away your attention."
So they focused their attention on the two younger ones, trying to keep them at a distance.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan smiled but did not reply.
As a father, Shang Shixu must also be thinking about his daughter.
After Tao Mengshu finished speaking, he waved to his son.
"Xiao Qian is gone."
When Di Zeqian heard that she was leaving, he asked her anxiously.
"Why are you leaving?"
"Mom, didn't we agree to go back the day after tomorrow?"
Tao Mengshu patted his head, like he was patting a watermelon.
"Your grandma misses you."
That's true.
I've been talking about it at home for two days.
When Di Zeqian heard that it was his beloved grandmother who missed him, he could only obediently say goodbye to Shang Lingyue.
"Moon, I'm leaving."
I'll come visit you again in a couple of days.
"Remember to put that bear puzzle together when I get back!"
Shang Lingyue nodded her little head.
"Okay~"
Di Zeqian: ( ̄∀ ̄)
Watching the two adorable creatures say goodbye, Jiang Wan and Tao Mengshu both smiled.

In the evening, Jiang Wan finished her writing for the day.
After washing up, I went to bed at 9:30.
In a WeChat group, Zhou Feiyan encouraged everyone to start a voice chat.
The other three responded in unison.
Although they have been separated for three years, the four of them still chat frequently in their group chat.
As soon as the voice call was connected, multiple voices appeared on the phone's speakerphone.
Jiang Wan was engrossed in chatting with them and didn't hear that someone had already returned to the bedroom.
The first thing the man did when he got home was to come to the bedroom looking for her.
Before Shang Shixu even opened the door, he could hear people chatting inside.
The girls chattered excitedly about their lives and work.
Shang Shixu withdrew his hand, turned around, and went into the bathroom.
Inside the bedroom, the four girls were still chatting.
The conversation drifted to romance.
Zhou Feiyan shared her bizarre blind date experiences.
Wang Yurong shared that she is currently trying to conceive.
Li Zhile shared that she is dating a young boyfriend who has just started college.
Jiang Wan listened with great interest.
She was startled when the bedroom door was pushed open.
Seeing Shang Shixu wearing a bathrobe, I realized he had already returned.
Jiang Wan turned off the speakerphone, connected her Bluetooth headphones, and whispered to the man beside the bed:
"Brother, let me chat a little longer."
She couldn't bear to turn off the gossip when she heard something interesting.
After speaking in a low voice, Jiang Wan put on her headphones.
Through the earphones, Li Zhile is sharing her terrible kissing experience with her younger boyfriend.
He complained that the other person didn't even know how to kiss properly, and that he bumped into her tooth right away.
The pain brought tears to her eyes.
Jiang Wan grinned, when suddenly a shadow fell over her head.
She instinctively looked up, only to have her mouth covered.
"...Um..."
The chatter in the headphones continued.
The man's wet, slippery tongue was recklessly sucking away.
A burning hot palm pressed against...
"Um!"
Jiang Wan let out a sound.
She heard three people's puzzled voices coming through the earpiece.
"Wanwan?"
"Was that Wanwan's voice just now?"
"I don't know."
Jiang Wan bit her lower lip hard, quickly took off her earphones, reached for her phone from the side, and turned it off.
The moment I turned it off, the sound could no longer be suppressed.
The prairie fire burned ever brighter.
With tears welling up in Jiang Wan's eyes, she reached out to hug his neck.
"elder brother......"
The timing of the business is coordinated with bowing one's head.
"Call me husband."
