Chang Kun was taken aback. What female comrade?

Cheng Min had met Aunt Song, Sister Wang, and Sister Wu at her workplace on her wedding day, and they interacted normally. How could she have misunderstood?

After a moment's thought, Chang Kun understood.

Besides these close colleagues, there was another woman present that day, namely Che Xiaorui.

On the day of the wedding night pranks, she even put on a little performance. Could this be the reason why Cheng Min made sarcastic remarks?

Looking back at Cheng Min's ambiguous smile, Chang Kun understood immediately that his wife was indeed jealous.

"What are you thinking? Your man is very upright." He took Cheng Min's small hand and squeezed it firmly.

"No, someone's here!" Cheng Min forcefully pulled her hand away and hid her small hand behind her back.

These days, even married couples rarely hold hands in public.

As a newlywed, Cheng Min was even more shy and didn't want anyone to see her holding hands with Chang Kun.

"So, are you still going to be jealous? Do you still trust your man?" Chang Kun wasn't going to let her off so easily.

He has absolutely no connection with Che Xiaorui, yet Cheng Min is still jealous of her.

With his handsome appearance and the abilities boosted by the system, he might attract young girls who would be interested in him. Did he really have to explain things to Cheng Min one by one?

In this kind of situation, the couple needs to have a basic level of mutual trust.

He grabbed Cheng Min's small hand and held it tightly in his.

"What's there to be afraid of, my husband and I, holding hands?"

Cheng Min blushed and whispered, "I believe you, I believe you, okay? Don't hold my hand..."

Xiuer, standing to the side, asked in a daze, "Sister Xiaomin, why don't you let Big Brother hold your hand? We're holding hands, aren't we?"

"See how right Xiuer is? What's there to be afraid of when holding hands?"

Holding his wife's hand, Chang Kun walked into the office.

"Wow! Look who's here!" As soon as I entered, Hou Jun came over excitedly.

"Chang Kun's here. Weren't you on holiday for your wedding? Why are you still worried about the office?" Lei Guohong, who was sitting at his desk, stood up to greet him.

"Master, Monkey King, you're both here. I thought you'd be patrolling the platform at this time."

"Hehe, thanks to you, we caught over a hundred thieves at Qianmen Railway Station last time. It's all over the thief community lately. No thief dares to come near our workplace."

Speaking of this, Hou Jun smiled with a relaxed expression, "Now we just patrol the platform and maintain order. My master and I are in one group, and we take turns patrolling with Uncle Zeng and the others."

"That's great! This will make our work much easier!"

"Of course! Haven't you seen that Master and I have time to sit here and make tea?" Hou Jun opened Chang Kun's desk drawer, took out Chang Kun's cup, and made a cup of tea. "Sister-in-law, have some tea."

Cheng Min thanked her and turned to hand it to Xiao Xiuer, who was hiding behind her.

At home, Xiuer is like a little tyrant, fearless of everything. But when she goes outside, even when she sees Uncle Monkey, whom she is somewhat familiar with, she still can't let loose and her little face is timid.

"Little Xiuer, how about Uncle Monkey takes you to play on the platform? Your Uncle Zeng and Brother Xiaoyu are there."

"Hey? Monkey King, where's Xiao Lü? He's not at the platform?"

"Hehe, Xiao Lü has something good to do today, he took half a day off."

"Good news? What good news?"

"He went on a blind date today. It was arranged by some relative. I heard she's the prettiest girl in some village... Tsk tsk, this guy is lucky."

Chang Kun laughed: "He's really lucky. Little Lü is so fortunate to have married such a beautiful wife. Their offspring will be even more attractive after they're born."

"That's right, that guy Xiao Lü has finally come to his senses. He married a beautiful countrywoman and she treats him like a king."

Lei Guohong slowly sipped his tea, then frowned and said, "You young men only know how to find pretty wives. When you get to my age, you'll understand that pretty or not, it's not that important."

"Master, if the wife isn't pretty, wouldn't it be a nightmare to marry her? I wouldn't even be able to bring myself to eat her."

"You monkey, what nonsense are you talking about? It's all the same when the lights are off at night!" Lei Guohong shook his head. "You should know that the old saying, 'Marry a virtuous wife,' is very true."

"Even if you look at a beautiful wife's face every day, when you get to my age, she'll just look the same after a while. The key is whether she's the kind of person you want to build a life with."

Hou Jun curled his lip: "Master, what are you saying? You married your wife because she was pretty, didn't you? Now you're lecturing us..."

Lei Guohong smiled awkwardly. That's true. When you're young, who can listen to these kinds of things?

If a family has even a little bit of means, they will try their best to marry a beautiful wife.

Seeing his master's embarrassment, Chang Kun changed the subject: "Girls in the countryside are mostly simple and honest. Xiao Lü, this blind date of yours, should be able to make a good living together."

Lei Guohong nodded: "That's true. Life in the countryside is too hard these days. Being able to move from the countryside to the city is considered very lucky. I just don't know if Xiao Lü will be interested in her."

"Don't like him? Does Xiao Lü dare?" Hou Jun laughed. "That Xiao Lü guy, he's been on so many blind dates, and every time he scares the girls away with his face. If he dares to say he doesn't like them, his mother will tear him to shreds!"

Everyone laughed when he said that.

Xiao Lü is notoriously ugly in his workplace.

Now I'm able to marry a village beauty thanks to my family's good conditions and the fact that I'm from the city and can afford the government-supplied food.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I reckon Xiao Lü will be at work by noon. We'll ask him about it then..." Hou Jun squatted down. "Xiao Xiu'er, go play on the platform with Brother Monkey and see the big train."

Xiuer's eyes lit up as she looked at her older brother. Seeing him nod, she let Hou Jun lead her out, skipping and hopping.

Chang Kun led Cheng Min to the ticket hall.

"Sister Wu, I'm busy."

"Chang Kun's here! Why didn't you take a few more days off? You're back to work just a few days after your wedding!"

"I haven't started work yet; I'm here to buy two train tickets."

"Buying tickets? Buying them for relatives or friends? Where are you going?"

Chang Kun took out a letter of introduction from his pocket and handed it through the small window: "Sister Wu, please get me two tickets for Nanjing in two days."

While at home, he had already figured it out. His bloodline intuition only vaguely sensed that his mother-in-law was in the south; he would need to get closer to her to know her exact address.

Heading south, Nanjing is a major transportation hub. Once there, we need to sense the situation again to determine our next course of action.

Sister Wu carefully examined the letter of introduction, clicking her tongue in amazement: "Chang Kun, this letter of introduction of yours is amazing! It's valid nationwide. I've been a ticket seller for so many years, and I've really never seen one like it... Wait a moment."

A minute later, she handed out two beige cardboard tickets through the small window.

"These are tickets to Nanjing. I arranged a double sleeper for you and Cheng Min, so you won't have to squeeze into hard seats on the way and will be a little more comfortable."
