Chapter 824: The Disabled Young Master 37

“Mm, let's go!” Chu Pan'er gave the two of them a cold glance.

Then she placed a hand on her large belly to support it and deliberately glanced mockingly at Tang Wan's stomach before lifting her chin and leaving.

Only after the two of them had gone did He Jiantong look at Tang Wan with an expression of relief.

“Wife, come on, let me look at you a few more times and wash my eyes.”

Tang Wan: ???

“What happened?” Why did he need to wash his eyes for no reason?

The next moment, however, He Jiantong said with a look of disgust, “Isn't Chu Pan'er way too ugly? She's ugly and fat. What an eyesore! Fortunately, the Chu family broke off the engagement back then. Otherwise, if such an ugly woman had married into our family, wouldn't that have been an insult to my eyes?”

Tang Wan: …

“She only got fat because she's pregnant and has been eating too much. She was actually quite pretty before,” Tang Wan said helplessly.

“What part of her was pretty? Her basic features are right there. Even if she weren't fat, she'd still be ugly! You're the prettiest, Wife!” He Jiantong said seriously.

Although Tang Wan knew perfectly well that he was deliberately sweet-talking her, she was still delighted by his praise.

“How could that be?” Tang Wan said, the corners of her lips curling upward.

“It really is!” He Jiantong looked completely earnest.

The shopkeeper standing nearby was astonished.

This was the first time he had ever seen the master of the household smile.

It seemed that this Madam truly was deeply favored by him.

……

At this moment, Tang Wan said to He Jiantong, “Tongtong, so this shop is yours! You're amazing!”

After all, Chu Pan'er had just said that this was the most expensive shop in the capital.

A shop could only become the most expensive if the products it sold were of the highest quality. Achieving that certainly wasn't easy.

Hearing Tang Wan's praise, He Jiantong suddenly had the urge to proudly wag his tail.

It certainly hadn't been easy for him to build his business into what it was today. But honestly, he hadn't felt anything particularly special about it.

Yet when he saw her current expression—full of admiration and pride in him—for the first time, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

So this was how happy it felt to receive affirmation from the person you loved!

……

However, He Jiantong deliberately acted modest when he spoke.

“It's nothing much. Taking care of you is definitely no problem. So if there's anything you like, just buy it. Our family isn't short of money.”

“Wow! Tongtong, that sounded so cool! I've heard people say that men who are willing to spend money on the women they like are all good men! Then you must be a three-good man, Tongtong!” Tang Wan looked at He Jiantong with admiration.

He Jiantong immediately felt even more pleased with himself.

But he didn't show it on his face at all. He merely wore a faint smile and said, “Spending money on my wife is only right and proper!”

The shopkeeper standing nearby: …

For some reason, he suddenly felt as though he had been subjected to a faceful of public affection.

……

After picking out several outfits for He Jiantong, Tang Wan finally pushed him back to the He residence.

They had just arrived at the entrance when a slender and handsome young man approached them. There was a hint of carefree charm between his brows.

“Seventh Brother, long time no see!” the young man said to He Jiantong with a smile.

He Jiantong merely looked at him indifferently.

“Sixth Brother, what brings you here?”

Hearing this, the other man immediately rubbed his fingers together without the slightest trace of embarrassment.

“It's New Year, isn't it? Hehe… Your Sixth Brother doesn't even have any spare change left to give the servants and maids, so I wanted to ask Seventh Brother to lend me some money to spend. I only need this much!” As he spoke, he spread out five fingers.“Mm, let's go!” Chu Pan'er gave the two of them a cold glance.

Then she placed a hand on her large belly to support it and deliberately glanced mockingly at Tang Wan's stomach before lifting her chin and leaving.

Only after the two of them had gone did He Jiantong look at Tang Wan with an expression of relief.
