After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 147 - 136_3

"Did you lend this to Ah Jiao?" Chen Bajin asked after taking the book.

Wang Yunqing nodded and said, "Yeah, you tell Comrade Ah Jiao to keep it first. When she’s done reading, she can return it whenever she wants."

"Alright." Chen Bajin nodded and tucked the book into his arms.

At this moment, Wang Yunqing asked again, "By the way, Comrade Chen, how’s Comrade Ah Jiao’s relationship with her husband?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bajin felt a bit off. Who would start by asking about someone’s relationship with their husband unless they’re up to something?

Chen Bajin gave Wang Yunqing a glance and asked cautiously, "Why ask that?"

"Oh, here’s the thing." Wang Yunqing leaned back in his chair, smiled, and said, "Previously, I read articles written by Comrade Ah Jiao, and although her talent shines through the thin print, her writing always gives me a rather suffocating feeling. Plus, she married young, so I was a bit worried it might be an arranged marriage. After all, New China advocates gender equality now, and I was concerned that such things could still happen in this new society. If it really is the case, we should rescue Comrade Chen Ajiao."

Listening to Wang Yunqing, Chen Bajin truly felt that Wang Yunqing was a good person but thought too much...

It’s almost impossible to think so much; no wonder Gu Fuqiao doesn’t have a good impression of him. How could someone just come and ponder someone’s marital status, especially when Captain Yan is so nice... Even if it were an arranged marriage, who wouldn’t want it with Captain Yan?

"No way, Ah Jiao’s willing, and her husband is excellent!" Chen Bajin said with a smile.

"Will...willing?" Upon hearing these words, a hint of retreat appeared in Wang Yunqing’s eyes, though Chen Bajin didn’t notice.

Chen Bajin nodded and said, "Yes! So...how can we say it’s forced? Many people want to marry Captain Yan. If Ah Jiao didn’t agree, how could they get the marriage procedures done layer by layer?"

"So that’s how it is. It seems I really overthought it." Wang Yunqing nodded, smiling as he spoke.

"Yes, so Mr. Wang, there’s no need to worry at all. Ah Jiao’s doing great; her life is good." After speaking, Chen Bajin didn’t want to talk with Wang Yunqing anymore. She felt that Gu Fuqiao was right; Wang Yunqing really has some issues with his thoughts—probably read too many books!

Although he’s a good person, his ideas are somewhat old-fashioned.

Chen Bajin picked up the chopsticks and ate the food on the table. After two bites, she heard Wang Yunqing say to her, "By the way, Comrade Chen, remember to give that book to Comrade Ah Jiao; there are two of my poems inside, which she once said she quite liked."

Chen Bajin nodded, assuring Wang Yunqing she would deliver it. She suddenly felt that Wang Yunqing seemed overly considerate towards Ah Jiao.

But Chen Bajin didn’t delve deeper into these matters, and after finishing lunch, she didn’t bother to linger and play; she took a bus and went back directly.

Wang Yunqing was considerate enough to send Chen Bajin to the station, and when she returned to the compound, she immediately went to Gu Fuqiao’s house.

Gu Fuqiao was home alone and was still lying in bed asleep.

Seeing Chen Bajin come, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened the door for her, and sat on the small stool beside, saying, "Bajin, weren’t you going to the authors’ meeting? Why are you back so early?"

Chen Bajin sighed and said, "You know the authors’ meeting is no fun. I initially thought it was novel, so I went, but once there, I found it really boring."

"Haha, yes, I told you before, but if you don’t go once, you won’t know how boring it is." Gu Fuqiao said with a smile.

Chen Bajin also smiled, then suddenly remembered, handed the book in her hand to Gu Fuqiao, and said, "By the way, Ah Jiao, someone asked me to give this book to you."

"What book?" Gu Fuqiao took the book, flipped through a couple of pages, and felt a bit puzzled; this book wasn’t her favorite type.

It looked somewhat dry and dull.

"This book is from Wang Yunqing, also known as Mr. Yun Zhonghe," Chen Bajin said to Gu Fuqiao.

Upon hearing this name, Gu Fuqiao seemed somewhat displeased and said, "Why would Wang Yunqing send a book to me? This person is really strange! I think he may have ulterior motives."

"No way, right?" Chen Bajin laughed.
