He really dotes on me so much

Chapter 80: A Deal with Jiang Lao

"I don't want to watch TV; I want to learn to drive."

Jiang Lao changed the channel, pointing to the TV, "Come on, watch this American show. It's good for practicing English and it's bloody and violent, very suitable for you."

"No."

"Then Dad will watch a Korean drama with you! Don't you girls love those heart-throbbing romance dramas?"

"Not interested."

"A Japanese drama, then. The scenery is beautiful, and they are very deep."

"Boring."

Jiang Lao changed the channel again, "Then you must watch this Thai drama. The story of falling in love after marriage is a classic, very suitable for you and Chen Yu. Didn't you two also fall in love after getting married?"

Gu Nuannuan angrily turned off the TV, "Dad, if you really want to watch a story about falling in love after marriage, my husband and I can act it out for you every day under your nose. But you have to give me the car. I need to practice driving. Otherwise, there won't be a surprise for my husband when he returns."

Jiang Lao expressed his concern, "Dad is worried you might cause an accident while driving."

Gu Nuannuan: "...I'm not that bad."

But Jiang Lao remained firm in his refusal.

"How about a meal of stir-fried shrimp tails?"

Jiang Lao huffed arrogantly, "Do you think you can buy me with food?"

"Two meals of stir-fried shrimp tails."

"Trying to bribe your dad with food is an insult to him."

Gu Nuannuan swiftly extended five fingers, "Five meals of stir-fried shrimp tails, plus one barbecue, one spicy hot pot, and one spicy cold dish! Give me the car, or I'll go out and buy one myself. My husband gave me a lot of money, and I haven't spent a dime of it."

Jiang Lao added sheepishly, "...And one more spicy stir-fry."

"Deal!"

Gu Nuannuan raised her hand, clapping it against Jiang Lao's palm with a loud smack, sealing the agreement.

Soon, the butler handed the car keys to Gu Nuannuan, "Second Young Madam, please be careful while driving."

"I will. Don't worry."

Gu Nuannuan grabbed the car keys and dragged Jiang Xiaosu by the collar to practice driving.

Wei Aihua, concerned, followed them to watch.

Jiang Lao, meanwhile, was planning which meal to have first.

When Jiang Mayor came home from work, he too went to the training ground to watch his sister-in-law drive.

On the field, the couple walked behind the car, enjoying the cool breeze and the calmness of the moment.

Wei Aihua chatted about Gu Nuannuan, "Husband, our family needs more kids like Nuannuan. She's lively and makes the house feel alive."

Jiang Mayor, holding his wife's hand, replied as they strolled, "Heaven has sent Nuannuan to bring us that liveliness."

"Chen Yu's frozen heart has been thawed by Nuannuan. He called me at noon, reminding me to watch over her while she's driving. He said if she couldn't manage, he'd rather not have the surprise."

"He knew?"

Wei Aihua smiled, "What can be hidden from your brother? Chen Yu figured out the surprise when Nuannuan crashed into the shed yesterday. He even told me, 'Sister-in-law, don't let Nuannuan know I guessed the surprise. I'm afraid she'll be disappointed if she knows.'"
