The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 213: Future Plans

Wang Miaomiao knew she probably accidentally annoyed this man who appeared righteous but was actually cunning and petty.

Those who know when to adapt are true heroes, and the wise are real talents.

Wang Miaomiao immediately put on a big smile and said contentedly, "Luckily, I have a wealthy fiancé. Following him, I can just enjoy the good life, eat well, and live leisurely."

Jiang Yan looked at her exaggerated expression and laughed, "You... you’re quite the clever one."

"Hehe, not at all. I’m speaking from the heart." Wang Miaomiao said with a straight face and a serious expression.

Jiang Yan was finally amused by her, "Okay, I believe you. So... shall we buy the biggest one then, is that okay?"

Wang Miaomiao was still a bit hesitant in her heart. She knew that if they bought that house, her little bit of money wouldn’t be enough, they’d definitely have to spend his.

She actually wanted a house completely her own, earned through her efforts, somewhere that could be her last resort, considered as her root.

But she also knew that if she directly rejected his kindness, it would hurt his feelings. He had given her everything, trusted her completely and gave his all, yet she was still hesitating...

"Isn’t that house too big, just for the two of us? It’s a waste." Wang Miaomiao thought for a moment and gently suggested, "Besides, it’s a bit far from here, it might be inconvenient for commuting."

"All these can be solved, I can handle the commuting." Jiang Yan poured the hot water into the thermos and handed Wang Miaomiao a cup of malted milk, "I want to buy that courtyard house because it’s near Jing University, so once you get in, it’ll be close for you to attend classes."

Hearing this, Wang Miaomiao’s eyes lit up, "A school district house, that’s nice."

"As for the population, yes, it’s just two of us now, but once we get married, have a few kids, won’t there be more people? When our son marries and has children, in ten or so years, the place won’t be big enough anymore. Besides, when my in-laws, our brothers and sisters-in-law come to stay, if we don’t have extra rooms, they won’t be comfortable staying." Saying this, Jiang Yan’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, so bright that Wang Miaomiao felt embarrassed to destroy his dreams.

Wang Miaomiao knew that courtyard house would definitely be bought, and honestly, she was quite satisfied with it too. Considering how meticulously he planned for their future and how he had taken care of her through her injury, making daily visits regardless of exhaustion just to be with her, even just for a short while.

They say tough women fear persistent men; she, too, had been gradually softened by his attentiveness.

She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and decided, "In that case, let’s buy the courtyard house. But I also want us to buy that small apartment you mentioned. That courtyard is far, and you just started your new job, you’ll be busy, and I feel bad for you having to come back and forth to take care of me..."

Talking about her feelings made Wang Miaomiao blush; honestly, through all this time in their relationship, Jiang Yan had always flirted with her secretly, but she had never expressed her emotions so openly before. This made Jiang Yan ecstatic, "Miao Miao, really, you feel bad for me?"

Faced with his passionate questioning, she shyly nodded and quickly changed the subject, "That small apartment may not be big, but it’s only two bedrooms and a living room, close by, and it’s enough for the two of us to live in."

Listening to Wang Miaomiao talking about living together, even though he knew she didn’t mean it that way, Jiang Yan’s heart couldn’t help skipping a beat, nodding like a fool, "Alright, it’s up to you. Hehe..."

Seeing him smile so foolishly, Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"But, if we spend all our money buying houses, we’ll really become paupers."

Wang Miaomiao roughly calculated, and buying two houses would indeed deplete their savings, and might not even be enough.

Thinking about this, Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but frown, muttering to herself, "What if it’s not enough? I don’t even know how short we are. My art book is already finished; looks like I’ll have to earn money with a new one. I don’t even know what the current situation is with the publishers..."

Jiang Yan chuckled and rubbed her head affectionately, "Don’t worry about the money, your man has got it covered."

Wang Miaomiao was taking slow sips of her malted milk; his words nearly made her choke.

She coughed lightly, awkwardly, "I’ve got everything done here, shouldn’t you be going to work? You just started your new job, is it right to take a leave to come here like this? You... should be making a good impression, right?"

"Huh... trying to get rid of me? Use then discard..." Jiang Yan looked at her calmly, "Don’t worry, I’ll leave after having lunch with you, so don’t rush me."

After saying that, he stood up to cook lunch, glanced at the ingredients at home, and casually asked Wang Miaomiao, "What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you."

When Wang Miaomiao saw him putting on the apron, she couldn’t help but remember the days when they first came to Beijing together, during their road trip, he always tried his best to take care of her, "Anything you cook, I like. How about making me some noodles?"

Wang Miaomiao felt sorry for him, just wanted him to do something simple, and let them eat casually.

Jiang Yan, hearing her gentle voice, looked up at her in surprise, then put down the rice bowl and turned to open a bag of flour, "Alright, whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you."

But Jiang Yan wanted her to have a balanced diet, even if it was just a bowl of noodles, he prepared several ingredients: shredded meat, young greens, mushrooms, eggs, a full bowl of noodles placed in front of her.

"So much." Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but swallow, struggling, "It’s too much; I definitely can’t finish it."

Jiang Yan handed her a pair of chopsticks, encouraging her, "Eat; if you can’t finish, just leave some, but make sure to finish the side dishes."

Wang Miaomiao pouted, holding her chopsticks without knowing where to start, "Wasting food is shameful."

Jiang Yan, already eating from his bowl, said casually, "How would it be wasting? If you leave some, isn’t there me to finish it?"

Wang Miaomiao’s face turned red instantly, what... he’d eat her leftovers? How embarrassing...

"No, no, that’s not hygienic." Wang Miaomiao hesitated, stammering, "I’ll give you some first, then I’ll eat..."

Saying this, regardless of his objection, she pushed her bowl closer to Jiang Yan’s and, with one chopstick move, gave half of her noodles to him.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan displeased, said, "Too much, let me do it." Then, he took control, took the chopsticks from her hand, and started rearranging, "How can you eat so little? It’s supposed to be a time to nourish the body. I can’t be at ease if I don’t supervise even one meal a day."

Wang Miaomiao’s lips twitched slightly; ah... her boyfriend was really on the path to being a housekeeper man, stepping further and further along.
