The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man

Chapter 440: Chapter 436: Reunion

If Wen Ran had other requests, he could still muster the courage to apply, but he really missed his kids.

What to do?

Could he go back and bring Wen Ran’s two kids over?

"I don’t care," Wen Ran lay on the ground, disgruntled, "I’m a college student, not some corporate drone. Send me back right now.

I’ve been out for two months; this isn’t how it works for overseas assignments. There’s not even a rest day; do they really think I’m a mule?"

She, a college student, only gets subsidies, no salary.

Why should she sacrifice herself like this?

Besides.

When they said she would go out, they never mentioned it would be a one-way trip!

"I don’t care!" Wen Ran glared with dead-fish eyes, "I want to go home."

Mr. Gu Sr.: "..."

Someone save me.

What to do now?

Can’t beat him, can’t scold him.

Of course, Mr. Gu Sr. wouldn’t admit that he simply couldn’t beat or scold him.

"You know, I also need to apply for this. Don’t worry, since you’re a freshman, they’ll definitely let you go home and rest when it’s time, okay?"

Wen Ran, wary, "You said it?"

"Yes, I said it."

Looking at the simple old man in front of her, Wen Ran couldn’t quite understand why she felt he was full of bad ideas.

After pondering, Wen Ran licked her lips, "Then, write it down. Give me a result within a few days."

Mainly afraid it will be delayed, dragged on and on, turning into a bad debt.

"...One week."

Wen Ran was silent for a moment, then lifted her head, sincerely, "How about you just mark me as failed, and I’ll secretly run home tomorrow."

Mr. Gu Sr.: "..."

Is there a wall?

His head was itching, wanting to bang against it.

"Three days."

"Deal."

Just when Mr. Gu Sr. was scratching his head, not knowing what to do, a turning point quietly arrived.

The Xiao Family sent someone.

To be precise, Xiao Chengguang came over to take over, bringing along his mom, dad, nephew, and niece.

Mr. Gu Sr.: "..."

He tightly grasped Xiao Chengguang’s hand, feeling like he wanted to bow to him.

Thank you for saving someone old.

The first day the kids arrived, Wen Ran was so fond of them, she wanted to give them everything good in the world.

The second day the kids arrived, Wen Ran still cherished them, but her excitement faded and rationality reclaimed ground.

What can be said.

Never wrong your parents, never wrong yourself.

As for the kids...

The future is long, and their era is quite vibrant and colorful.

Any good things should prioritize herself first.

The third day the kids arrived, Wen Ran was calm, even when the kids woke her up in the middle of the night, she felt somewhat hopeless.

Mrs. Xiao watching this: "..."

What can be said.

Her performance was just as Mrs. Xiao imagined.

Thankfully, the kids hadn’t tied Wen Ran down.

She still went out to have fun.

The Red Army’s mood visibly improved.

Though close to Wen Ran, it was raised by Xiao’s parents. It’s naturally closer to the old couple.

Since the old couple arrived, the Red Army calmed down a lot, no longer trailing Wen Ran all over the mountains.

Just stayed close beside the old couple.

Making the old couple teary-eyed.

Originally thought they couldn’t find it, but who knew, it found its way to them.

"You don’t say, this little thing really is human-like."

Wen Ran nodded seriously, "Exactly, not only human-like, but also really bold."

Knowing nothing, yet dared to leave its survival zone to find someone uncertain.

"By the way," Wen Ran hugged Xiao Bao, asked, "How long can you stay here?"

"Not long, originally thought of going back with you. Turns out, Chengguang got another task and has to leave."

Wen Ran: "..." freewёbnoνel.com

Keep your mouth shut, don’t laugh, or you’ll give it away.

Shutting up, but seems like not quite.

At least, facing Wen Ran’s ambiguous expression, Mrs. Xiao was momentarily stunned.

Is she happy or unhappy?

Can’t figure it out.

"Hmm, take care of yourself here. If time permits, we’ll bring the kids to visit you."

Wen Ran nodded, "Alright, Mom, when are you leaving? I’ll take a day off in advance to send you off."

Mrs. Xiao: "???"

She was shocked, "Aren’t you always taking leave?"

Wen Ran: "???"

That comment left Wen Ran puzzled and dazed, "Uh? No, I’ve been working, haven’t I?"

Working?

Now Mrs. Xiao is completely confused about what a college student actually does.

Don’t you mean running around the ground with a small brush, sweeping here and there, throwing the brush to dash into the woods with the wolf is work???

Wen Ran looked at Mrs. Xiao, squinting, "Mom, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing," Mrs. Xiao said vaguely, "just wondering if you need more people here."

"College degree required."

Mrs. Xiao laughed shook her head, "Never mind!"

Every generation has its own blessings.

Getting older means falling behind in some aspects, meddling about might mess things up.

"Handle your own business, remember your parents’ knowledge is limited. But if you are tired, hungry, want to come home, don’t force yourself, okay?"

Mrs. Xiao cuddled the child, looking at Wen Ran, softly said, "Whenever the time comes, home will always be your haven."

"Mm!"

Those words warmed her heart.

But even if home isn’t a haven, it’s fine.

Useless things don’t deserve to exist in this world; what she built, she can tear down.

The main point is, as long as she’s not okay, then everyone else will be not okay.

The Xiao Family left earlier than Wen Ran imagined.

Watching their fading figures, Wen Ran couldn’t help but feel an inner sigh, goodness, they finally left; those two debt collectors, honestly! With them here, she couldn’t sleep well at night.

When Wen Ran finished being secretly pleased, she turned around to face the shocked look of Cai Xiaowen and Xu Ying.

Wen Ran: "?"

She instinctively touched her face, somewhat uncertain, "Why are you looking at me like this, is there something on my face?"

Both said nothing, just widened eyes, shaking heads in unison.

Wen Ran: "???"

She got more confused, not understanding what was happening, feeling somewhat cautious, "What’s going on? Can’t you just say it straight, why the round-about way?"

"Uh," Cai Xiaowen uncertainly said, "You just seemed to say what’s on your mind."

Wen Ran was dumbfounded, "What?"

"Yeah," Xu Ying asserted, "She did say it, no mistake, I heard it."

Wen Ran: "..."

Alright, if both heard it, then indeed there’s no way to argue.
