Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479: Chapter 506: Gathering with Wang Dan

"You’re living well too," Sun Chan said with a smile, "You’ve gotten so much fairer."

"Fair and chubby, just like a big bun!" Wang Dan laughed heartily, "My biggest headache now is losing weight. I’m too fat."

"Not at all," Sun Chan replied, "A bit of flesh actually makes clothes look better."

Wang Dan laughed and pinched Sun Chan’s waist, "Don’t be so fake, your waist is about as big as my thigh. I’m so jealous!"

The two women laughed together. Despite being married for years, this girl still had the bright cheerfulness of a child.

Wang Dan’s husband’s attitude was very warm as well, exchanging pleasantries with Gu Junming.

At Wang Dan’s house, the couple enthusiastically entertained Sun Chan and her husband. The two of them had already bought a new home and didn’t live with their in-laws. This place was spacious, and had all the appliances and such.

Wang Dan told Sun Chan, "My in-laws aren’t too fond of me; they think I’m being wasteful. But I don’t want to save money like they do. I want to buy whatever I want, so I don’t regret it later."

"That’s a good mindset," Sun Chan responded. She thought the same way; earning and spending is the right way to live—just saving money while living miserably is meaningless.

Their young son could run around everywhere now, appearing lively and adorable. Sun Chan gave the child fifty yuan as New Year’s money.

Wang Dan didn’t refuse, and with a smiling face said, "When will you have good news? Have a daughter, and we’ll be in-laws!"

"Sure," Gu Junming smiled, overhearing this, "I approve."

Sun Chan also smiled, "Okay, no problem."

Wang Dan’s husband went to prepare a meal, and Gu Junming helped out.

Sun Chan and Wang Dan held hands and talked about topics related to clothing business.

Wang Dan said, "Don’t worry, your store is pretty good. You wouldn’t know, our little county alone has over seventy clothing shops now. Business isn’t easy these days!"

Sun Chan nodded. There were lots of people and a large market, but there were also many people doing business. Without being a bit diligent and thinking of ways to expand the market, business would only become tougher.

Wang Dan further suggested Sun Chan buy a house, "You have money now, don’t foolishly put it all in the bank! A few thousand yuan may seem like a lot now, but in the future it won’t be worth much; owning a house is more practical."

This aligned with Sun Chan’s thoughts. She believed in living through the present, while Wang Dan was indeed far-sighted.

Sun Chan nodded with a smile, "Wang Dan, you really know how to live well."

Wang Dan laughed, "You have it better. Your husband really cherishes you and has a promising future. My husband isn’t bad either but spends his life hiding under my wings. But that’s fine too; I find it okay."

Wang Dan’s husband didn’t harbor any ambition for his career nor did he know anything about doing business; he simply followed his wife’s lead.

Wang Dan once felt quite frustrated, feeling they didn’t have a solid foundation. But later she thought, oh well, if he were truly insightful and ambitious, dealing with him would be more exhausting, and if he turned bad, it would be terrible.

Sun Chan deeply agreed, "These days, how many men are as understanding as your husband? You should be satisfied."

Wang Dan chuckled, "Honestly, are you pregnant now? Hurry up! Your husband Gu Junming isn’t getting younger."

"Hmm," Sun Chan nodded, a bit bashful.

Wang Dan exclaimed in surprise, "That’s great! Wonderful, Gu Junming may be old, but he’s still quite good."

Wang Dan smiled and agreed, "I’ll think about it, maybe make some more money for two years." Despite some issues like residence registration, with Gu Junming around, what was there to worry about?

After seeing Sun Chan and her husband off, the couple returned home together.

Wang Dan said to her husband, "Those two have a great relationship."

"Don’t we have a good relationship too? No need to envy others."

Wang Dan laughed, "I mentioned arranging a marriage between the kids and regretted it immediately—I’m a bit worried. Nowadays, soldiers are all single children; we can have another child by just paying a fine, but they can’t. What if they have a daughter? Look at Gu Junming, he truly doesn’t care—this is wonderful."

Not to mention, if Wang Dan had a daughter, her in-laws probably wouldn’t be happy.

Her husband didn’t care at all, "I like girls too; should we have another one?"

"Pah! You give birth if you want; one already exhausts me. I’ll go sleep now, don’t bother me." She rolled her eyes at her husband and went into the bedroom.

Her husband saw the way she rolled her big eyes, feeling inexplicably charmed, and he followed her in, grinning.

This New Year, Sun Chan felt very fulfilled. But others were not as fortunate.

Yang Yun had a dispute with her parents over her choice of husband, so she didn’t celebrate with them. On New Year’s Eve, everyone except Yang Yun went to wish Mr. Yang a happy New Year.

However, Mr. Yang wore a sullen face, and nobody dared say much. The atmosphere at home was comparable to a temple.

Wang Guihua initially planned to visit her husband in the military for the New Year, so Gu Juntao and his wife decided to take their child to her family home. Yang Hongying was delighted and promptly prepared for it.
