The Wife Of The Wealthy Family Is Fierce And Cute. Chapter 340 - A Married Couple Should Discuss Everything Together

Chapter 340: A Married Couple Should Discuss Everything Together

Duanmu Ze quickly explained to the two of them in a complicated and slightly angry tone, “This is my Third Uncle’s younger sister. She was just brought back and no one disciplined her before, so her temper is a little wild.”

After saying that, he added, “If Little Xi messes up later, you can teach her a lesson. You don’t have to be polite just because you think she’s from the Duanmu family.”

Although Duanmu Ze didn’t say it explicitly, one could guess that Duanmu Xi’s ident.i.ty was perhaps something like an illegitimate child.

When Chu Luo heard this, she deliberately glanced at Duanmu Ze but didn’t say anything.

The three of them continued walking in.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at Old Master Duanmu’s residence.

Old Master Duanmu lived at the back. The environment here was especially quiet. There were more than ten pots of various kinds of natal lilies in the courtyard.

Chu Luo scanned the entire courtyard and realized that the potted plants were placed very carefully. This place was very suitable for old people to recuperate.

On one side of the courtyard, there was a stone table and a wooden stool. At this moment, an old man with a head full of silver white hair was sitting there, but his body exuded the aura of a ruler.

The old man looked a little haggard because of his illness, but his eyes were wise.

When the old man saw the two of them, he waved at them and said with a smile, “You’re here. Li Zi, come play a game with me.”

The old man’s voice was like an ancient bell, thick and deep. Then, he said to Duanmu Ze, “Little Ze, go prepare some snacks for the young lady.”

Duanmu Ze went to prepare snacks for Chu Luo, while Li Yan and Chu Luo walked to the old man’s side.

Even when Li Yan arrived before Old Master Duanmu, he still maintained his cold demeanor.

He only greeted, “Old Master.”

Then he shut her mouth.

Old Master Duanmu smiled and said to him, “Kid, why are you still so stuffy after marrying a wife? Be careful that the young lady won’t be able to stand your character.”

“I can stand it,” Chu Luo replied in a crisp voice. “He’s not a stuffy person.”

Hearing this, Old Master Duanmu laughed out loud. He smiled at Chu Luo and said, “You’re indeed a charming girl. I’ve heard your name from my grandchildren many times. With your talent in learning, you’ll definitely be an extraordinary person in the future.”

When Li Yan heard Old Master Duanmu praise Chu Luo, his lips finally curled up a little.

Old Master Duanmu immediately realized his change and continued with a smile, “At that time, I got someone to change your household register to a married one. Looks like it was a correct decision.”

After saying that, he said to Chu Luo, “You’re about the same age as my granddaughter. You should call me Grandpa.”

“Grandpa Duanmu.”

“Haha! Good child.”

Old Master Duanmu asked Li Yan, “When do you plan to hold the wedding? I’m considered your matchmaker. When the wedding is held, you must invite me to the wedding.”

Li Yan nodded seriously. “Okay.”

Then, he looked at Chu Luo. “Luoluo and I will go back and discuss the wedding.”

“That’s right. A married couple should discuss everything together.”

Old Master Duanmu pointed at the seat opposite him. “Don’t stand. Come play with me.”

Li Yan didn’t sit down immediately. Instead, he asked Chu Luo, “Luoluo, do you know how to play chess?”

Chu Luo shook her head. “I know how to play chess, but I’ve never played military chess before.”

“Do you want to play?”

“Young lady, don’t be afraid. If you don’t know how to play, get Young Li to stand at the side and teach you. It’s very easy to learn.”

Chu Luo nodded and sat down.

Before the two of them started playing chess, Li Yan quickly told Chu Luo the main points of military chess.

Before Chu Luo could say anything, Old Master Duanmu said to him, “You’re speaking so quickly. Can you understand, young lady? Don’t speak so quickly.”

Li Yan was almost done and didn’t say anything else.

After Chu Luo and Old Master Duanmu started playing military chess, Li Yan stopped talking and stood behind Chu Luo.

This made Old Master Duanmu especially look at the two of them.

When Duanmu Ze brought over the snacks, he was a little surprised to see his grandfather playing chess with Chu Luo. He even stood there and watched for a while.

What he saw made her even more surprised. “So Chu Luo plays chess so well.”

Old Master Duanmu’s tone was a little complicated. “A top student is indeed a top student. Young Li only taught once, but you actually grasped the key points.”

Chu Luo said modestly, “My chess skills are inferior to yours for the time being.”

When Old Master Duanmu heard this, he laughed out loud again.

Then, she added, “Not only is the young lady good at studying, but she’s also good at medicine. I heard that you cured Old Master Sun’s illness.”

Chu Luo’s expression was calm. “I cured it with Professor Tang.”

“Not bad still.”

Duanmu Ze suddenly glanced at Chu Luo.

The two of them continued playing chess.

Half an hour later, Chu Luo lost to Old Master Duanmu.

However, Old Master Duanmu said in dissatisfaction, “Young lady, I feel that you’re deliberately going easy on me.”

Chu Luo said seriously, “No.”

This made Duanmu Ze, who was standing at the side, want to laugh. However, Old Master Duanmu glared at him and Duanmu Ze quickly retracted the smile on his face.

He straightened his face and said, “Grandfather, the banquet in the front yard is about to start. Li Yan and Chu Luo are guests. You can’t let them stay here forever.”

Old Master Duanmu was a little dissatisfied and said to Chu Luo, “Young lady, come and play chess with me when you’re free in the future. We’ll play chess then.”

Chu Luo nodded. “Okay.”

Duanmu Ze went over to help Old Master Duanmu up. Old Master Duanmu said to Li Yan, “Young Li, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Come to my room and talk to me.”

After saying that, he said to Chu Luo, “If you’re bored, you can go to the front yard with Little Ze first. I heard that the Sun family will also come tonight. You can play with them for a while.”

Chu Luo glanced at Li Yan, who nodded at her before she left with Duanmu Ze.

As Old Master Duanmu watched her leave, he said to Li Yan with a smile, “Young Li, you’re blessed to have such a beautiful wife who knows how to protect you.”

Li Yan finally responded with an “Mm”.

Seeing that his expression was still cold, Old Master Duanmu said to him, “Since you have a girl you like, change your personality. Don’t keep a cold face. No matter how warm a girl is, she won’t be able to stand facing your face every day.”

Li Yan only responded with an “Mm” and walked over to get his walking stick. The two of them walked in.

…

Chu Luo followed Duanmu Ze to the front yard.

Duanmu Ze was probably worried that Chu Luo would be bored along the way, so he asked some questions about Chu Luo’s studies.

Chu Luo didn’t really want to answer. She said, “They’re all good.”

Seeing that her interest in talking wasn’t high, Duanmu Ze could only tactfully shut his mouth.

When the two of them walked into the courtyard, Duanmu Tian happened to come out from the corridor beside them.

He sized up Chu Luo with his lazy and flirtatious eyes and said with a smile, “Isn’t this Li Yan’s little wife, Chu Luo? Why did you come out from Grandfather’s place alone?”

Duanmu Ze gave him a warning look and said, “Grandfather has something to say to Li Yan. I’ll take Chu Luo to the living room first.”

“That’s too bad a coincidence.” Duanmu Tian raised his eyebrows and said to Duanmu Ze, “Uncle asked me to look for you to see if the violinist is here yet, and also why he isn’t at the banquet hall at this time?”

Duanmu Ze was about to speak when Duanmu Tian hushed him and said with a smile, “I’m not free. It’s impossible for me to help you take a look.”

Displeasure flashed across Duanmu Ze’s eyes. He knew that Duanmu Tian was doing this on purpose, so he turned to Chu Luo and said, “Chu Luo, I’m going to check on the violinist we hired today. You can go straight to the banquet hall in the front yard along this path.”

Chu Luo nodded at him and left.

Duanmu Tian looked at Chu Luo’s back and was about to follow her when Duanmu Ze extended his arm to stop him and warned in a low voice,

“Third Brother, you’d better put away your tricks. Chu Luo is Li Yan’s wife and our esteemed guest tonight. Don’t have any designs on her. Stay away from her.”

Duanmu Tian had an innocent expression. “How could I have designs on her? I just want to go to the front yard too.”

“Since you’re here, come with me.”

Duanmu Ze didn’t believe him at all, nor did he give him a chance to object. He grabbed his arm and walked to the side.

Chu Luo walked for a few minutes and saw the brightly lit, bustling, and flickering living room.

She was about to walk over when two girls walked out of the door.

When the three of them met, one of the girls asked loudly in surprise, “Chu Luo, why are you here?”

After saying that, she glanced at the door and said, “Brother Tianhao and the others are looking for you.”

Another girl standing beside the girl asked, “Yang Lu, are you close to Chu Luo?”
