Chapter 409: Sure enough, like attracts like

"Wife, pack up simply, take out a gift from there; our lunch is settled."

After Jiang Ye returned, he pushed open the door and smiled as he picked up the two children who pounced on his legs, his words full of relaxed laughter.

It could be seen that he had chatted very happily after reuniting with an old friend after a long time.

"Alright, alright, alright, I know, I'll pack up immediately."

Shen Man could tell that the "there" the man referred to was the sub-space, which always had the dried seafood she collected from time to time.

On the Sea Island, it might not be very eye-catching, but here in the Capital, with a little packaging, it was a decent return gift.

Jiang Ye picked up the children and walked around the hallway for a while, freeing up time for his wife to prepare.

"In a while, Daddy and Mommy will take you to eat at Daddy's friend's house. You should be sweet-mouthed; call those who are younger 'Uncle,' and call those who are older 'Grandpa and Grandma,' understand?"

"Understand!"

Xiao Mantou nodded first, followed by Xiao Nuomi nodding as well.

Did he even need to say it?

She would just call whatever her brother called; following her brother's lead would definitely not go wrong!

Jiang Ye looked at the two children and helplessly tapped his daughter's nose; she was really a little smart aleck.

It was just that they were too young and didn't know how to hide their thoughts; whatever they were thinking was written on their faces, which was really cute.

Such a cute daughter was his, you know.

A moment later, the couple carried the children downstairs.

At the entrance of the guesthouse, Han Mingguang, who had been waiting for a long time, was stunned.

Good heavens, Lao Mo had said before that his sister-in-law was beautiful, hmm, like a movie star, but he hadn't believed it!

Now that he saw the real person, only one "holy crap" was stuck in his throat.

Brother, brother, I know you eat well, but haven't you eaten a bit too well?

"Sister-in-law, hello, I am Han Mingguang, Lao Jiang's good brother. May I ask if you have a younger sister?

The kind who isn't married and doesn't have a partner!"

"Ah? Sorry, I don't have a younger sister."

Shen Man was stunned, and after reacting, she explained with a laugh:

"I only have one older brother, and he's already married, oh."

"That's a pity. If you had a younger sister, I would have shamelessly pursued her, no matter what, to become brothers-in-law with Lao Jiang."

Han Mingguang said with some regret, and then his attention was attracted by the children held in the two people's arms.

"Good heavens, you must be Xiao Mantou and Xiao Nuomi. I am your father's best brother; you can call me Uncle Han."

Jiang Ye inexplicably felt that this dialogue was a bit familiar; he hugged the children tighter and looked at his brother with a different look.

He remembered; he had used a similar line to introduce himself when he first met his wife—

"I am not your brother Lu Xiu Bai; I am Jiang Ye, your brother's best brother. Your brother is injured, so he asked me to pick you up."

The dead memory suddenly attacked him.

Inexplicably, he felt a bit guilty and glanced at his wife involuntarily.

Shen Man also felt that this line was very familiar and looked at her husband, as if to say, truly worthy of being good brothers, the opening lines are similar too.

"Alright, alright, you two don't feed me dog food in front of me.

Go, get in the car; I'll drive you home.

My parents have always wanted to see Lao Jiang; it's just right that your family of four has come, so it would be inexcusable not to eat a meal at my house."

Han Mingguang didn't know what the couple was hinting at; he only felt his heart had been shot by another arrow. He was the only one injured; the world of singles had been achieved!

His good brothers had all gotten off the single market, and even Lao Jiang already had two children!

Never mind, let's get the two of them and the two children home first and let his parents be happy.

Because of this interruption, the two children didn't call anyone and were curiously sizing up this strange uncle with their eyes.

After getting in the car, Shen Man and the two children sat in the back seat, with the seafood gift she had packed from the sub-space stuffed in the gaps.

Jiang Ye sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.

Han Mingguang got into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and twisted the ignition. In the gap while the engine was warming up, he chattered endlessly—

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. My parents are very easygoing. If they are too enthusiastic when we arrive, don't be afraid, okay?"

"Sigh, it's all my fault; I'm still single.

My peers are already married and have children, and their kids can already go buy soy sauce; I'm the only one still single, and my parents are worried to death..."

"By the way, I heard from Lao Jiang that you want to find time to take photos at the Chairman's Memorial Hall. When we arrive at my house, go to my study and pick a camera; use whichever one feels handy..."

"If my parents give the children red envelopes later, just take them; don't be soft-handed, and don't be polite. Our family isn't short of money."

Jiang Ye blatantly picked his ears, a bit annoyed by his brother's talkative attribute.

Not having seen each other for a few years, this person had become even more long-winded.

Shen Man nodded and said "mm" from time to time to respond.

She thought Ah Ye's brothers were all very loyal, without that kind of uncomfortable gaze, and without any scheming, only joy from the heart.

Sure enough, like attracts like.

People with clean circles hang out with people with clean circles...

Because their father and mother were by their side, the two children weren't that afraid of this strange uncle.

Occasionally they also listened carefully, and although they couldn't understand, it didn't hinder their interest in the camera the uncle was talking about.

About half an hour later, the sedan stopped at a residence that was obviously heavily guarded.

Although Shen Man was prepared, she was still shocked.

She had thought that since Han Mingguang drove a sedan, his family conditions should be quite good, but she hadn't expected them to be this good. This wasn't an ordinary family courtyard; this was clearly...

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. My father was the Minister of Foreign Affairs before he retired, and my mother was a translator. They have both retired now.

Because their identities are special, they live in a heavily guarded public building, with the purpose of protecting their personal safety, but they are very amiable and approachable, so you don't need to be nervous."

Han Mingguang didn't feel his identity was anything special; anyway, there were very few people he recognized as friends.

"Okay, thank you for the introduction."

Shen Man's lips twitched; she didn't know whether to call the other party "Versailles" or say her husband was too calm.

That was a retired Minister of Foreign Affairs and a translator; could they really be this casual?

She finally knew why her husband had contacted this comrade-in-arms, Han Mingguang. Wasn't this a proper "Red Second Generation"?

No wonder he lent a camera worth over a thousand yuan without hesitation; it turns out this person really isn't short of money! ===== CHAPTER 410 =====
