Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Chapter 406 – 406 Apologizing

406 Apologizing

He actually said that she had no money!

This was the funniest thing Xiaoguo had heard since she got rich.

Shu Botong hummed from his nostrils with an air of indifference, which truly annoyed Xiaoguo.

She was wrong. She was terribly wrong again!

Shu Botong was a lunatic who deserved a beating. To hell with optimism. His IQ must truly be lacking.

“Why don't you buy me a plot of land?”

Taking a few deep breaths, Xiaoguo looked up at Jiang Danhe and said gently.

She had come to terms with it, she had completely come to terms with it. With the land, she could build whatever she wanted. She didn't have to worry about having another nagging baggage. How nice would that be?

Jiang Danhe was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly nodded and agreed. As he spoke, he tried to pull her up with the intention of leaving.

Shu Botong rolled his eyes and quickly snatched the contract away. He scribbled his name while muttering, “Why are there so many strokes? It's so difficult to write…”

Xiao Guo and Jiang Danhe exchanged a glance and shared a knowing smile.

After writing down his name with much difficulty, Shu Botong came to the finger-printing part, which was much easier.

However, even though it was a simple task, he completely made a mess out of it. The print he made looked absolutely distorted. If one did not look carefully, it would be hard to tell that it was a fingerprint. It could have been mistaken as a drop of blood that had dripped from someone's broken nose.

“Alright.” The private advisor picked up the contract. After making sure that everything was in place, he held it in his arms. “The title deed is yours. You must adhere to the contract.”

As he spoke, he handed the title deed to Xiaoguo.

“Okay, thank you.”

Xiaoguo took it and looked at it. When she saw that there were no problems, she thanked the advisor and put it away.

The private advisor's mission was completed. After seeing her put away the title deed, he left.

Shu Botong looked at the two of them. It seemed like something was brewing inside his head.

“What about him?”

Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo. Since she had promised to take care of him, the problem now was to make arrangements for his accommodations.

Xiaoguo smiled and said, “Just leave him here. I'll go and order his daily meals from Ruyi.”

“No!”

After hearing Xiaoguo's words, Shu Botong objected immediately. She had promised to take care of him, but she was actually going to leave him behind!

“I think it's a feasible plan.” Jiang Danhe smiled and he started analyzing seriously. “He can guard the door if he stays here.”

“That's right. We'll look for the renovation contractor tomorrow. During the renovation period, he can help to supervise the work. It will save us a lot of trouble.”

“You… you… you're abusing a sick man!”

Shu Botong felt terrible when he heard the couple echoing each other.

This was too scary. It was even worse than when he was alone. He could eat and sleep whenever he wanted. Now, he actually had to work.

“Hehe…” Xiaoguo smiled and said, “I wasn't planning to let you continue being a sick man.”

“What… what do you mean?!”

Shu Botong silently hugged his trembling body. “Is she going to ravage me?”

Xiaoguo only smiled at him and said nothing else.

Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo silently, not quite understanding what she meant.

Sensing his eyes on her, Xiaoguo looked at Jiang Danhe and winked at him, indicating that she would talk to him later.

Jiang Danhe smiled and nodded. He was extremely satisfied. He knew that Xiaoguo's gaze would always be on him.

It had been too long since they came out. Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe did not want to delay any longer, so they reminded Shu Botong to eat on time before they left the place.

“Do you understand?” Xiaoguo repeated patiently.

“…”

Shu Botong still looked like he was upset with Xiaoguo. Therefore when he heard her, he didn't say anything. He silently shifted his position and turned his back to her.

“I know you can hear me. Don't wander off. We'll come back here tomorrow.”

Xiaoguo did not pay much attention to Shu Botong's behavior. After saying that, Jiang Danhe carried her onto the horse and the two of them rode off.

Shu Botong looked at their departing figures and slowly clenched his fists. He chuckled. “I'm a lunatic. How can I understand human language?”

The two of them bought a lot of delicious food along the streets. Since they were going back so late, they had to get some treats for the three children at home.

On the way, she came across a stall which sold sour plums, so Xiaoguo bought a catty of it for Mrs. Yang.

She could imagine the resentment on her friend's face when she goes back later.

She could use the sour plums to placate her.

On the way.

“Are there any bathhouses in the county?”

Xiaoguo asked Jiang Danhe out of habit.

Jiang Danhe thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes, there are several nearby.”

He knew the reason why Xiaoguo was asking him about that, so he told her about the few shops that were located around Shu Botong's residence.

Xiaoguo smiled. She really liked the telepathic connection between them. He could give her timely feedback without her having to say anything.

She really couldn't stand Shu Botong's greasy appearance anymore. For the sake of her eyes and Ruyi, that man had to wash up.

God knows how much effort Xiaoguo had put in to get Ruyi's agreement, so that Shu Botong could take his three meals in the noodle shop on a daily basis.

“Tomorrow…”

“I'll throw him in there.”

Jiang Danhe continued.

Xiaoguo nodded and held onto his arms that were around her waist.

Jiang Danhe knew that this was her happy expression, so he pulled her back until she was resting against him.

Xiaoguo leaned into his arms and they started chatting casually.

The two of them were thinking of going back later. They were enjoying their time alone while traveling on the horse's back.

However, the journey will eventually come to an end. No matter how slowly they tried to travel, it was already as slow as they could get.

As soon as they arrived at the house, they could hear the sound of running footsteps when the dogs in the courtyard started barking.

As soon as Xiaoguo was carried off the horse, the door opened.

Zhuang Zhuang was the first to run over. Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling jumped in front of her and asked her excitedly about where she had gone for the day.

While Xiaoguo was being pestered by the few kids, Jiang Danhe thoughtfully brought the food into the house on his own. His back looked extremely lonely.

It couldn't be helped. It was the same everywhere else in the world. A mother is the most important figure in the family, while a father plays a more arbitrary role.

This scene made Xiaoguo feel very uncomfortable. Her heart was aching badly for the man.

Hence, she lowered her head and urged Zhuang Zhuang to look for Jiang Danhe. She didn't want the man to feel left out.

Zhuang Zhuang had actually noticed it too. When he heard Xiaoguo's words, he immediately chased after Jiang Danhe.

As he ran, he called out to his father affectionately.

When he heard the boy, all of Jiang Danhe's haughtiness disappeared. It was instantly replaced by indulgence and tenderness.

Xiaoguo did not want to fight over the job of distributing snacks. She would let Jiang Danhe show his fatherly love.

Just as she was sitting at the side and smiling as she watched the rest distribute the snacks, Zhuang Zhuang said something that successfully petrified Xiaoguo.

“Auntie Yang came over a few times today to look for you.”

Xiaoguo's smile froze. She perked up and asked, “Did she say anything?”

“No.” Zhuang Zhuang shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, “In any case, she stomped her feet when she heard that you had not come back yet.”

“Give me the sour plums.”

Zhuang Zhuang handed the paper bag to her in a daze and asked hesitantly, “Mother, what's wrong?”

Xiaoguo shook her head. Before she could answer, she ran out anxiously.

Zhuang Zhuang looked at the departing figure and looked at Jiang Danhe in confusion, hoping to hear his explanation.

Jiang Danhe shrugged, indicating that he was none the wiser. Then, he continued to distribute the snacks.

On the other side, Xiaoguo arrived at Mrs. Yang's house. She picked up a branch from the ground and hid it behind her before knocking on the door.

When Mrs. Yang heard the sound of knocking, she immediately started walking out and muttering to herself, “Okay, Xiaoguo, you're the best. You've left me hanging for the entire day. Watch how I am going to deal with you…”

Although her posture didn't look so friendly, it was not difficult to tell that she was pleased.

She had been waiting the entire day for Xiaoguo. How could she not be happy?

“You are…” Mrs. Yang opened the door. Before she could stop smiling, she was shocked by Xiaoguo's actions. “What… what are you doing?”

“Sister-in-law, I'm here to apologize.”
