CHAPTER 600: CHAPTER 598: HOW DARE SHE HIT HIS PRECIOUS ONE

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Kechu came back with the children and, after not finding Wan Chu’er anywhere, handed the children over to the nanny to eat and went up to the study on the second floor. As soon as he entered, he saw Wan Chu’er frowning and staring at her computer screen.

Wan Chu’er turned her head somewhat sluggishly and saw Jiang Kechu, "You’re back?"

When she turned around, Jiang Kechu clearly saw the bruises on Wan Chu’er’s face. Although they had already been treated at the Dingling Pavilion, the marks were still noticeable.

Jiang Kechu was startled and asked, "What happened to your face? Did you get into a fight?" And to be left in such a mess, it seems the opponent was quite formidable.

It was then that Wan Chu’er remembered the bruises on her face. She pretended not to care and chuckled, "Don’t worry; it’s been a while since I’ve had some exercise. I found someone to play with today, wasn’t paying much attention, and got hurt, but they are just superficial wounds. Playing like this is more satisfying!"

Jiang Kechu looked at her skeptically, "Really?"

"Yes, absolutely!" Wan Chu’er nodded with certainty, thinking that if Jiang Kechu knew she had been hit by people summoned by the Crown Prince, he would definitely confront the Crown Prince.

Jiang Kechu frowned and reached out to touch her face, asking, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt anymore. After the fight, I had a massage and applied some medicinal ointment. It doesn’t hurt at all; it’ll be fine in a couple of days, and you won’t be able to tell anything happened." Wan Chu’er tried to speak in a relaxed tone.

Jiang Kechu said helplessly, "Next time you want to play, try not to aim for your face."

"Hehe, got it. In a couple of days, I’ll return a pretty face to you." Wan Chu’er playfully dismissed Jiang Kechu’s doubts.

Jiang Kechu rubbed her head and asked again, "What were you just doing? You looked dazed and didn’t answer my question." He looked at the screen and asked, "Why are you looking up the mafia in Country Y?"

Wan Chu’er blinked and said, "I’ll tell you later; let’s go down to have dinner first."

"Okay."

After putting the two little ones to sleep that night, Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu went back to their bedroom. Wan Chu’er briefly explained her encounter with the Crown Prince that day, "The Crown Prince gave me two very advanced gadgets and asked me to accompany his sister on a trip to Country Y, to attend my ex-boyfriend’s wedding."

Jiang Kechu thought for a moment and then said, "Your ex-boyfriend is involved with the mafia? And that’s why you went to find someone for a sparring session?"

She’s so sharp; she had promised the Crown Prince not to tell Jiang Kechu, and now that Jiang Kechu had guessed it, she wouldn’t be considered untrustworthy, would she?

Wan Chu’er ignored the first question and, seizing the opportunity presented by the latter remark, said with a smile, "Yes, I wanted to see what my level is now, and if there’s a chance, to spar with the mafia and see where I stand in their organization."

Jiang Kechu simply stated, "You’re not allowed to go."

Ah? Wan Chu’er was a bit stunned; she had only spoken a few words, and she was already being vetoed, but she was not discouraged and tried to negotiate, "I checked, and there’s actually no danger. Just accompanying the Princess for a trip, and I might not even have to cross hands with anyone. Everyone’s very fond and loyal to the Princess. After this trip, I can swap for two treasures from the Crown Prince and also make him owe me a favor. It’s such a profitable deal!"

"Plus, I can see how the mafia is different from us ordinary people and take the chance to relax. I’ve been worn out from the recent business with Time." Towards the end, Wan Chu’er acted coquettishly towards Jiang Kechu.

Jiang Kechu looked at her helplessly, shaking his head firmly, "No, it’s too dangerous. I’m not comfortable with you going."

"The Crown Prince will send others to secretly protect us, I’m just accompanying the Princess as a friend in public, there’s no real danger, I want to go!"

Initially, Wan Chu’er wasn’t very determined, but Jiang Kechu’s opposition actually solidified her resolve to go.

"Chuchu, you’ve looked at the information too, the power dynamics within the mafia are complicated, not to mention they are unscrupulous in achieving their goals. Just being the sister of the Crown Prince is like a piece of meat on the bone. If any scheming people find out, countless powers will be eager to move, I cannot take this risk," Jiang Kechu patiently persuaded.

"I don’t care!" Wan Chu’er was outright stubborn.

Jiang Kechu could not help but smile bitterly and had no choice but to say, "I will tell Grandpa about this; he will not agree to let you go on this trip either."

Wan Chu’er glared at him discontentedly: "When did you learn to tattle!"

"For you, I’m willing."

Wan Chu’er turned her head away and still threw out a sentence: "I want to go anyway, life is so boring, I want to get out and about."

Jiang Kechu sighed, feeling somewhat helpless with her. He thought for a while and then said, "Wait a few months until I’m not busy, I’ll take you to the west and north of our country. There are fewer people there, hunting grounds, and many interesting places."

"Let’s talk about it a few months later; I want to go now anyway," Wan Chu’er insisted uncompromisingly.

Jiang Kechu’s gaze flickered, tentatively probing, "Then how about you go out and have fun with Jiang Lingling this month?"

Why suddenly bring up Jiang Lingling? As soon as Wan Chu’er thought, she understood Jiang Kechu’s intent. Good gracious! He wanted to know the timing of her trip with the Crown Prince’s sister to Country Y.

Wan Chu’er felt smug in her heart but kept it off her face, still unhappily saying, "Let’s talk about it in two weeks. I’ll make a quick trip and be back in a few days, then I’ll go out with Jiang Lingling, it’ll also help her with her design drafts by getting some inspiration."

Two weeks?

Jiang Kechu secretly thought if it’s two weeks before going to Country Y, he needs to keep a close watch on Wan Chu’er. He also thought that in a couple of days, he needs to find time to meet with this Crown Prince. Does he even ask his permission to have his wife risk her life?!

That night, the two of them failed to reach an agreement, and Wan Chu’er, annoyed, went straight to the guest room to sleep.

Jiang Kechu was adamant; this was a matter of principle, and he must not give in, and he didn’t go to coax her either.

The next morning they woke up still ignoring each other.

Hunter, that little rascal, was circling around his mom and dad with his eyes rolling curiously, suddenly said, "Mom and Dad, are you two arguing again?"

That kid, really sharp, just like Jiang Kechu!

Wan Chu’er deliberately said, "Your dad doesn’t listen to your mom, so mom is angry with dad."

Chuanqi, after swallowing a piece of egg, curiously asked Jiang Kechu, "Dad, why don’t you listen to mom? Did mom spank you, when I don’t listen, mom spanks me."

Jiang Kechu was immediately shocked: "Wan Chu’er, you spanked Little Yaya?!"

Little Yaya is his precious daughter, held so carefully as if she might break, Wan Chu’er actually spanked his treasure, even her bottom is off-limits!
