Chapter 1038 - Wine In Hand

Wine In Hand

Lin Ruoxi’s eyes gleamed with excitement. This would be her first time celebrating festivals with her in-laws after her wedding. It was obviously a big thing for her, given how much she valued her family.

“How about this?” Yang Gongming said, “We didn’t use to celebrate the festival so we haven’t prepared for it. But now that everyone’s around, we should buy some mooncakes. Xuehua, why don’t you go out with Pojun after lunch? We should buy the stuff ourselves since we’re the ones celebrating it. It wouldn’t feel festive to have the servants get it for us.”

“Alright, got it.” Guo Xuehua responded cheerfully.

Yang Pojun was astonished to hear this. “Dad, why do I need to follow along?”

Yang Gongming raised one of his eyebrows. “Aren’t you unemployed now? It’s not like you’re busy when the classes in the military school haven’t started. Why can’t you do such a small thing?”

“I don’t mean it that way…”

Guo Xuehua wasn’t pleased with his question. “Why? Is it a waste of time for you to accompany me?”

Yang Pojun waved his hands while laughing awkwardly. “I don’t mean it that way, I was just asking.”

“That’s much better.” Guo Xuehua sounded kind of proud and she blinked her eyes at Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi understood her hidden message. She found it amusing to watch Yang Pojun cower in front of Guo Xuehua.

Back when Yang Pojun was still the commander for the Jiangnan military base, he was so authoritative and frightening but now that he had retired from his job, he had become much softer.

It mostly had to do with the change of his mental state. After having suffered continuous blows and experienced plenty of life-changing events, Yang Pojun had given up much of his convictions. As a result, Yang Pojun reverted back to his original personality.

Being brought up by Yang Gongming itself, obviously, Yang Pojun wouldn’t be too bad of a person.

“Oh yeah.” Yang Gongming turned to look at Yang Chen who was still devouring his food. “Yang Chen, bring Ruoxi along and follow them. It’s nice to have a company while shopping. You can be their driver and carry the bags for them.”

Yang Chen caught on immediately.
