Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 1178 - 1180: Extra Story 13

There’s nothing much to do at home these days, so he decided to visit her house and see Auntie.

She used to always talk about making money to buy a house for Auntie to live in the city.

Back then, he had no money and ability, but now he can afford to buy her a house.

Auntie is used to living in the countryside and wouldn’t move here with them anyway.

Moreover, living here would bring Auntie many inconveniences, as fans often block his neighborhood entrance, causing too much hassle for Auntie’s life.

It’s better to buy a house in the hometown for Auntie to live in; they can work outside with peace of mind.

That’s how it’ll be done!

After making up his mind, he immediately went back to his room to pack his bags and brought all his bank cards.

He didn’t tell Xia Ting that he would accompany her home; she should be on the plane now.

There’s no way to call, so he’ll give her a surprise when he arrives there!

Chen Li bought a ticket at the airport; by the time he boarded the plane, Xia Ting had already landed.

After leaving the airport, she needed to find a hotel to stay in since it was already evening, and there were no buses to get home.

Her home was still far away; she would have to take a coach and then a bus to reach home the next day.

Tonight, she’d first find a hotel here to stay and get a good rest.

Early the next morning.

As soon as dawn broke, she was already on the coach, eager to get home quickly.

After a few hours of travel, she finally arrived home.

Xia Ting’s home was in the countryside, a small two-story courtyard.

The house was very old, and there was no money to refurbish or build a new one.

Luckily, although the house was old, it didn’t leak, so it was safe to live in.

She walked in through the gate with her suitcase, closed the gate, and joyfully shouted, "Mom, I’m back!"

"Why are you only getting here now? The food is almost cold!" Mom Xia emerged from the kitchen, very pleased to see her daughter back.

"The bus was delayed; I’m very hungry. Is the meal ready?" Xia Ting placed down her suitcase, ran to her mom, and hugged her.

She hadn’t seen her mom for half a year, and she really missed her.

"It’s ready; I’ve cooked your favorite dishes." Mom Xia nodded with a smile.

Her daughter called last night saying she would be back today.

Early in the morning, she went to the market to buy groceries, getting all her daughter’s favorites.

"I didn’t eat breakfast today; I came back on an empty stomach just for this meal." Xia Ting squinted with a smile.

"How could you skip breakfast? Hurry inside and eat!" Mom Xia chided her daughter slightly, released her from the hug, and pulled her into the kitchen.

Xia Ting happily ate three bowls of rice, making her stomach round and full.

As soon as she washed the bowls, their neighbor aunt came over to visit, very happy to see Xia Ting at home.

She walked into the kitchen cheerfully, saying to Xia Ting, "Xia, you’re home so soon!"

"Auntie, did you have a meal already? Come, have a seat." Xia Ting offered her a stool.

Auntie took the stool and sat down, looked at Xia Ting, smiled, and said, "Xia Ting, you’re twenty-four years old, right?"

"Yes, I’ll be twenty-five in a few months." Xia Ting was taken aback momentarily before replying to Auntie, realizing the reason for her visit.

Surely she wanted to introduce her to someone for a blind date!

Just as expected—

"You’re already at this age; it’s time to find a boyfriend and get married."

"I haven’t met the right one." Xia Ting laughed awkwardly.

"I was talking to your mom just yesterday, asking her to call you back to find a boyfriend and get married. It’s not good being outside all the time; girls need to get married eventually." Auntie spoke earnestly and sighed long after finishing.

It’s understandable for young women to pursue careers, but one shouldn’t delay their lifelong happiness because of work!

Once a girl crosses twenty-five, she slowly begins aging, and finding a match becomes even harder.
