The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 318: Can Be So Narcissistic

Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but burst out laughing at this remark—where did such a narcissistic person come from?

Seeing her laugh so heartily, Jiang Yan’s eyebrows and eyes couldn’t help but dance with joy.

Making his wife laugh heartily, he felt completely content.

Wang Miaomiao gazed at the man in front of her. He was almost forty years old, but looked as if he were only in his thirties, not showing any signs of aging. No wonder people say that men become like blossoming flowers at forty.

In the past few years, his involvement in the political world involved less of the brutal fighting and more of the intricate games of deception and intrigue, significantly changing his temperament.

The former fierce edge already completely imperceptible, perhaps deeply hidden away, replaced by a refined, elegant, and classy demeanor.

In the past, he was always unapproachable to strangers, projecting a cold-god image. Now, he greeted everyone with a smile; she felt like he was walking towards the path of a smiling tiger, embodying the image of a cunning man.

Renovating a house is indeed a major project, and for these houses that could be considered old antiques, the requirements were even more demanding. Wang Miaomiao’s house had been remodeled, so she understood the situation inside. If any old elements were to be retained, it would require some thoughtful planning. That’s why she offered Cheng Xue advice on finding her for assistance if there were any difficulties.

Cheng Xue and Jiang Huilan were still in graduate school at Jing University. But this hardly impeded their growth in their respective fields, and now they are both independent career leaders. Outside, they are respectfully called President Cheng and President Jiang, showcasing exceptional charisma.

The wedding between Cheng Xue and Wang Jia Bao was scheduled for the National Day period. That way, Wang’s friends and family could attend. This time, they also intended to hold a grand ceremony.

With only a month left until the wedding, Cheng Xue had been quite busy lately. Meeting Wang Miaomiao today was perfect, as she indeed had some requests for her...

"Sis, can I borrow your daughter and son for a day?" Cheng Xue smiled brightly, eyes sparkling, seemingly a little excited.

Borrow her daughter and son?

Wang Miaomiao asked with some confusion, "What do you need them for?"

Cheng Xue earnestly replied, "I want them to be our little flower children... for the wedding photo shoot."

Wang Miaomiao responded speechlessly, "What’s the big deal? That’s alright. But not this Sunday. I promised the kids we’d go to the People’s Park for the chrysanthemum exhibition. Do you want two or four of them?"

"Four." Cheng Xue immediately raised four fingers. Oh, mostly because her younger siblings were too adorable, each perfectly carved and polished, making people irresistibly fond of them. She secretly had her own little wish. After getting married, she also wanted to have a pair of twins or a boy and girl duo.

Family planning is strict nowadays, and since Wang Jia Bao is a civil servant, he’s bound to set a good example. As an only child, he can only have one child, which adds a bit of pressure on her.

Fortunately, he carries the gene for twins, and she hopes she can be like Wang Miaomiao, having a son and daughter in one go, perfect. Of course, two sons would be great too.

It’s not that she favors sons over daughters, but if they’re destined to have a daughter, she would naturally love her dearly, give her the best, and accompany her as she grows up. It’s just that it might leave Wang’s parents a bit regretful... sigh...

She’s not even married yet, but she’s thought so far ahead.

Sigh, truly, marriage makes independent women become a bit unlike themselves, constantly anxious.

She hopes those four little darlings will come along for the wedding shoot, borrowing a bit of their joy. Tee-hee...

"Alright, let them all come, and you can shoot however you like." Wang Miaomiao agreed heartily.

"It’s settled then..." Cheng Xue laughed, "I’ll book them for next Sunday, and then you can accompany us."

"Me too?" Wang Miaomiao thought about it; it made sense. If she didn’t go, Cheng Xue and Wang Jia Bao, being the bride and groom, would certainly be busy with makeup and changing clothes, leaving little time to care for the kids. Understanding this, Wang Miaomiao promptly agreed, "Sure, I’ll take them with me then."

"Thank you, Sister Miaomiao, love you... I’m off to class, bye..." Cheng Xue happily achieved her goal; her heart was filled with joy.

"Haha... silly girl." Wang Miaomiao glanced at the bouncing figure running off in the distance, then turned towards her own classroom; she had a mandatory class to attend that morning.

In a blink of an eye, Sunday came quickly. The whole family got up early, and the kids were all the more excited.

Autumn is the blooming season for chrysanthemums, and this chrysanthemum exhibition at People’s Park brought together excellent varieties from all over the country for display; the top ten chrysanthemums competed in vibrant beauty, presenting a dazzling array of shapes and colors.

It left the children amazed and gasping repeatedly. Wang Miaomiao looked at rare varieties, considering buying a pot for home planting, but abandoned the idea upon hearing the prices.

Forget it; she’s just an ordinary person. Things too elegant and delicate are really not suitable for her.

Spending so much on a pot that blooms for just one season, not knowing if it’ll survive next year... she feels it’s unnecessary.

This event is so grandly staged, surely also for a reason.

This chrysanthemum exhibition serves as an advertisement for a new residential area’s sales near People’s Park, as well as to attract developers to the nearby plots.

The Jiang Family thought they came very early, but upon arrival found the place already packed with people.

Sunday—a rare holiday. Who wouldn’t want to go out, especially knowing there’s an event here?

The early birds caught the worms, and there were quite a few smart, hard-working entrepreneurs who came early to grab vend spots and set up stalls.

Such mobile vendors are looking for gaps to exploit wherever they can. As long as they can make money, even under harsh eviction, they can still smile thick-skinned.

Life isn’t easy, as many educated youths returned from rural areas, yet urban job opportunities are limited. With more people unemployed, the country had to relax policies again to support individual enterprises; everything is moving towards better prospects.

As for the Xuelan Clothing processing plant and Xuelan Clothing flag store, opened in partnership by Wang Miaomiao and the other two, things are getting better and better.

Xuelan Group Co., Ltd. has officially been established, with several subsidiaries handling different businesses.

But Wang Miaomiao acted as a hands-off manager with company matters, leaving them to Cheng Xue and Jiang Huilan to handle, as they were the professionals. She is content to simply wait for her annual dividends.

Doing business is too taxing and too busy. She just wants to live a leisurely and comfortable life, a reason why she has firmly resisted outside temptations and decisively remained teaching at Jing University.

Honestly, it’s also fulfilling her initial crossing-over wish—to live as a happy and idle fish.

Being carefree in life, even educating the children is a source of happiness and joy for her.

Moreover, studying and teaching are also enjoyable for her, indulging in the refinement of knowledge, a source of endless joy.
