Chapter 1643: Otherwise, How Would I Cheat

~4 min read 706 words

After receiving her copy of the agreement, Wei Ruhua's eyes reddened; she stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Chuxue: "Thank you."

But as soon as she straightened up: "Could you keep this matter confidential for me? At least don't let my second brother and second sister-in-law know yet."

Liu Chuxue nodded in agreement: "Sure."

Wei Ruhua looked at the agreement again: "Could I leave this with you for now? I'm afraid someone might find it and cause trouble again."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "To use your own words, as long as you trust me."

Wei Ruhua handed over the agreement: "Please keep it for me. I'll take it back once I leave that home and have a place of my own."

In just this short while, for some reason, Liu Chuxue liked this Miss even more.

Wei Ruhua didn't dare stay any longer: "How should I address you in the future?"

Liu Chuxue looked at her: "We're about the same age; just use our names."

A smile appeared on Wei Ruhua's face: "Alright, then I'll go first."

Liu Chuxue saw her out to the main gate: "Once I have news, I'll find you."

Wei Ruhua nodded, glanced outside to check that no one was in the alley, and only then walked out.

She didn't tell anyone else about Wei Ruhua's matter; she simply put both agreements into her spatial storage.

After returning to the room and spending a cozy while interacting with the triplets, Liu Chuxue said to Wei Dainiang: "I'm going out to buy some things. Tomorrow we'll make something delicious to celebrate the little ones' birthdays."

Before Wei Dainiang could say anything, Wei Wenbin stood up first: "Auntie, I'll go with you; I can help carry the things."

Liu Chuxue naturally couldn't agree, or else how would she cheat: "Wei Wenbin, your kindness is appreciated, but Auntie will go alone. Your grandmother is busy enough taking care of the three of them at home; you stay and help. I'll feel more at ease outside if you're here."

Hearing this, Wei Wenbin didn't expect he was so important: "Alright then, Auntie, go with peace of mind; I'll definitely take good care of the three of them."

Liu Chuxue reached into her pocket and pulled out a bar of chocolate, though it was actually taken from her spatial storage: "Here, consider it a reward from Auntie."

Seeing the chocolate, Wei Wenbin was still a child; his eyes were full of surprise: "Auntie, can I give this to the younger brothers and sisters to eat?"

Liu Chuxue looked at the triplets staring intently at Wei Wenbin: "No, they're too small; their bodies can't metabolize this yet. Besides, they just got their teeth, and chocolate is too sweet; it causes cavities easily. You shouldn't eat too much at once either; remember to rinse your mouth after eating."

Wei Wenbin glanced at the triplets: "I'll give this to Grandma. She's an adult, so she can eat a bit more at once. I'll stay with you; none of us will eat it; we must protect our teeth."

Liu Chuxue didn't expect Wei Wenbin to do this, but since the item was given, how he handled it and what he did was his business; she wouldn't interfere.

Having lived together for so long, they were no different from a real family; she knew Wei Wenbin wasn't saying this deliberately in front of her, but that he truly loved the triplets.

After saying goodbye to Wei Dainiang, she picked up the cloth handbag she had made herself, which contained two net bags, and went out the door.

With the New Year only a few days away, the department store was crowded; Liu Chuxue walked around and used up all her nearly expired coupons.

Thinking about making a birthday cake for the little ones tomorrow, but there was no place selling cream now, she ran to several locations before finally finding tinned condensed milk for export-to-domestic sales at the Friendship Store.

Fortunately, she had a few high-grade supplementary food coupons awarded by the Ministry of Machine Building earlier; she bought two cans directly, so she wouldn't have to be stingy and run short tomorrow.

With everything ready, she finally prepared to head home.
