Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1518 - 1519: She’s Trying to Get on Your Good Side
Previously on Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife...
After hearing Cheng Su explain the reasoning for much of the day, Hualing's mind cleared up in a flash. Truly, people require guidance, and they benefit from friends who possess straightforward and upright principles.
The most valuable tip she got emphasized that a harmonious marriage needs thoughtful handling. As a wife, avoid extreme temperaments; choose gentleness instead. Don't let words slice like blades—even if said without malice, can they ever be retracted once out?
Frequently, damaging remarks slip out amid unchecked feelings. Wasn't that exactly the case between her and Chen Shouwang?
Having decided to keep their life together, making it work demands boosting emotional smarts across the board.
This isn't about pandering to men, but securing one's own happiness. Who wouldn't rather stay near a soft-spoken, warm woman over one with a biting tongue?
"Your guidance beats ten years of book learning. Sadly, chances to hear you again will be scarce," Hualing sighed.
Cheng Su grinned and replied, "Did you jot down my number? Ring me anytime for a talk when you're free."
Hualing nodded her assent.
Just then, Mother Cheng approached with the now-awake Qi Xiaoqi, handing him to Cheng Su for feeding.
Gazing at the fair-skinned, spotless baby with eyes resembling dark grapes, Hualing voiced her envy, "Your little Xiao Qi looks so radiant and undemanding. Your mom mentioned he skips night feeds?"
"Yeah, he's thoughtful toward me," Cheng Su beamed.
"That's fantastic. Our Zhuangzhuang woke twice nightly, turning everything chaotic," Hualing envied, remembering her grueling postpartum days with a grimace.
Cheng Su made sure to laud her own child before shifting gears, inquiring, "Got all your stuff packed? When's the move?"
"All packed up—we'll hire a truck for the day after tomorrow," Hualing answered.
Cheng Su wondered aloud, "Curious who'll take the place!"
Hualing chuckled, "No more clue than you have."
"Fingers crossed it's someone agreeable. Makes life smoother for all since we're in the same building. Endless racket and fights would sour everything," Cheng Su hoped.
"Relax—in a few months, you'll have your new place sorted and can move there," Hualing comforted.
"Oh right, good point. Yeah, no real worry now!" Cheng Su brightened at the thought of her upcoming home, realizing her short stay ahead.
Hualing lingered chatting a bit more, toyed with Xiao Qi briefly, then mentioned leftover bits to organize and headed back.
Once gone, Mother Cheng arrived holding a basket of snow peas, plopped down, and remarked, "That Sister-in-law Chen sure loves chatting—two full hours here. Not worn out? Thirsty?"
Cheng Su responded, "She's off the day after tomorrow, meetings will be tough later. Better catch up now."
Mother Cheng murmured, "Worried you'll forget her once she's gone? Hoping for your backing?"
Cheng Su laughed it off, saying, "Mom, come on. No backing involved. Years as neighbors—even animals bond after that time, people more so."
"So what? You're thriving more than her; her leaning on you is natural!" Mother Cheng boasted.
Cheng Su cautioned, "Keep that quiet outside; sounds off."
"I get it, I'm no fool," Mother Cheng rolled her eyes, nodding at her grandson, "Full month soon. Celebration planned? How? Talked to your husband?"
Cheng Su frowned lightly and said, "I'll check with him when he returns."
