Chapter 345 - 335: Family and Career
This morning was filled with cheerful laughter. With the addition of mom, the atmosphere became even more lively.
Because Wang Miaomiao stayed up late, Jiang Yan didn’t call her to get up for exercise and asked the kids not to be noisy so they wouldn’t wake her up.
After a lively workout, Wang Miaomiao helped Xiao Xuanxuan take a bath. Preschool kids aren’t exactly big, but they’re not that little either. Once parents resolve to let go, they’ll realize kids have a strong ability to learn, and there’s nothing they can’t pick up.
Nowadays, Wang Miaomiao usually just follows her into the bathroom to accompany her and keep an eye on things. For anything she can do by herself, Wang Miaomiao wouldn’t give her any help.
"Mom, I still love having you with me for a bath... are you done? Can you always join us for exercise from now on?" Xiao Xuanxuan was dressing and her little mouth kept going, seemingly having endless things to say.
Because Wang Miaomiao has been lying in bed these days, Aunt Li and others have been helping with the little girl’s bath in the morning.
Listening to her daughter’s words, Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but reflect on herself, wondering if she had her priorities wrong.
She came to this world unexpectedly, hadn’t she planned to just live a happy, carefree life as a ’salted fish’? How come she’s started staying up late now...
Recalling the cause of her death in her past life, sudden death from overwork, she shivered and felt uneasy.
Graduate thesis defense, so what if it’s delayed? It’s originally planned for graduation next year, why rush to finish early...
Seeing her daughter’s expectant gaze, a "Sure" slipped right out of Wang Miaomiao’s mouth.
"Oh, that’s great, Mom can join me again..."
Seeing Xiao Xuanxuan’s joyful look made Wang Miaomiao smile knowingly, realizing she should indeed turn over a new leaf.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, why are you so happy? Is there something good you’d like to share with Daddy?" Jiang Zixuan, having just finished his bath, saw Jiang Yan leaning at the bathroom door.
She blushed brightly, grinning like a sunflower, "Mom said she will join us for exercise from now on."
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.
The bathroom has good soundproofing; although he hears well, leaning there he only heard some laughter coming from inside.
"Well, that’s indeed good news to be happy about, quickly go tell your brothers." Jiang Yan waved to Xiao Xuanxuan and she, eager to share her joy, dashed off like a little rocket after hearing his words.
Watching her retreating figure, Jiang Yan chuckled lightly and, recalling what she just said, his eyes deepened as he turned and knocked on the door.
Wang Miaomiao, in the midst of tying her hair, heard the knock and asked casually before going to open the door.
The door opened to reveal her husband squeezing in and casually locking the door behind him.
"What are you coming in here for?" Wang Miaomiao, half-dressed in her thermal innerwear, felt her face heat up in the steam-filled bathroom...
Looking quite appealing...
"Hey, you... what are you doing..." Wang Miaomiao, watching her husband staring at her and starting to undress without a word, felt her mind explode.
"What else, taking off clothes naturally for..." Jiang Yan, unhurriedly, undid his buttons one by one with a deep glow in his eyes, "... bathing."
Staring at her, Wang Miaomiao’s throat went dry as she swallowed with difficulty, "But I haven’t showered yet..."
"I know, otherwise why would I come in..." Jiang Yan couldn’t help but laugh, finding his little wife unbearably adorable.
"I, you..." Wang Miaomiao found his presumption exasperating, how could he be so shameless.
"Enough with the ’I’ and ’you’, come here..." Jiang Yan stepped forward and scooped up the blushing Wang Miaomiao into a princess carry.
The bathroom’s soundproofing was indeed good; any hums and hawing were kept inside.
When Jiang Yan emerged with Wang Miaomiao in his arms half an hour later, if not for having to go to work and school soon, he wouldn’t have had to settle for a quickie, leaving him only half-satisfied.
Wang Miaomiao was too embarrassed to lift her head as Jiang Yan carried her out.
That man, in broad daylight, in a short time had her so worn out she could barely stand, truly infuriating.
Jiang Yan carefully half-carried her into their room, thankful that the bathroom was just behind a wall from their room, and no one was in the courtyard at this time to see them. Otherwise, she’d surely have punched him.
As soon as they entered the room, Wang Miaomiao pushed him away and glared, "You’re awful, don’t you know what time it is, doing this in broad daylight, shameless."
She continued, ignoring him while opening the wardrobe to pick out clothes for the day.
Jiang Yan, satisfied, leaned against the vanity, "You’ve been keeping me at bay for so long, now that there’s finally some free time, how can I miss it."
Hearing his nonsense, Wang Miaomiao rolled her eyes hard, too lazy to respond.
Seeing his wife ignoring him, Jiang Yan rubbed his nose, tapping rhythmically on the vanity top.
Though she ignored him, he still had things to say, "So why did you decide to join the kids for exercise from now on, are you sure you can get up?"
This topic was what Wang Miaomiao wanted to discuss, "Yeah, I’ve decided not to rush for graduation this year."
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. Just last night he had been thinking about how to persuade her, and now she’d figured it out by herself in one night? How subtle... "Why so sudden?"
"Not sudden at all, I’ve been thinking for quite a while." From the time her little daughter asked to when Wang Miaomiao figured it out, about a minute?
Mmm... making such a big decision was no small feat.
"A while? Haha..." Jiang Yan couldn’t help but laugh, finding his wife’s thought process so wondrously quirky.
"Well... I’ve realized I want to spend more time with the kids over work. They only have one childhood, and I hope each day is without regrets. Our time with them is limited, and each day counts..." Wang Miaomiao expressed her heartfelt thoughts while changing clothes, though there were also other unspeakable secrets.
Listening to her, Jiang Yan nodded thoughtfully, "It’s good that you think this way, I’m very happy. You’ve worked too hard lately; from now on, take it slower. You’re already outstanding, admired by many, and could leave others a bit of space to chase."
His words amused Wang Miaomiao. It was rare for her husband to be so straightforward with compliments, making her feel a bit elated.
