Chapter 595 - 591: Chen Ru
Startled when Sun Yeshu spotted the hickey on her neck, Xu Wenwan immediately backed away a few steps. But she feigned nonchalance and said, "Thank you for telling me this. I understand."
Sun Yeshu gave Xu Wenwan a long, hard look before turning and walking away.
’In her opinion, this situation was going to be difficult to resolve.’
’Xu Wenwan and Yun Hao have slept in separate rooms ever since they married, yet here she was, involved with another man.’ Just thinking about the marks on her neck made Sun Yeshu blush.
She was lost in thought and wasn’t paying attention, bumping right into Leng Qingtian.
Leng Qingtian and Sun Yeshu were already engaged, so they didn’t need to be overly formal. He immediately reached out and steadied her.
A man who worked the fields year-round had plenty of strength; the muscles in Leng Qingtian’s arms felt especially hard.
Sun Yeshu barely brushed against him, but the thought of those intimate marks made her face turn beet red.
She shyly pushed Leng Qingtian away, stammered a frantic excuse, and ran off.
Leng Qingtian was a bit baffled.
’All I did was catch her when she was about to fall. I didn’t do anything else, did I?’
’But her waist... it was pretty soft.’
Sun Yeshu returned to the crowd of gawkers and found her little clique, only to see them walk away the moment they spotted her. They clearly wanted nothing to do with her.
Sun Yeshu: ...
’Whatever. If they won’t talk to me, I’ll just go find Chen Ru.’
’That chubby girl, Chen Ru, had a great temper. No matter how I bullied her in the past, she never made a peep.’
But who would have thought that before she even reached Chen Ru, the girl would back away in a hurry. She moved so fast that she accidentally bumped into Gu Jiaojiao.
Just as they were both about to fall, the person beside Gu Jiaojiao calmly steadied her.
Once steady, Gu Jiaojiao saw Chen Ru about to topple over and quickly reached out to catch her.
In the end, neither of them fell.
Knowing it was her fault, Chen Ru lowered her head and apologized. "Gu Zhiqing, I’m sorry. I didn’t do that on purpose, I really didn’t."
The girl’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. She kept her head down as she spoke, not daring to look at Gu Jiaojiao.
Gu Jiaojiao didn’t mind.
"It’s alright. It wasn’t on purpose. You almost fell, too. Just be more careful when you walk next time."
After speaking, Gu Jiaojiao patted the girl’s shoulder, then turned and flashed a brilliant smile at her man.
’If it hadn’t been for my man, I really would’ve fallen.’
At that moment, Chen Ru cautiously raised her head. Seeing the smile on Gu Jiaojiao’s face, she felt it was both radiant and warm.
Far off, Sun Yeshu was dumbfounded.
’What, am I the plague or something? How could these people treat me like this?’
’All I did was speak a little truth last time!’
’Besides, Chen Ru’s face is round as a pancake, and she’s as fat as a ball. Just looking at her is disgusting.’
’And yet, wasn’t I the one who generously accepted her and let her hang out with us?’
’Now even Chen Ru dares to give me attitude. Fine. She can forget about me ever forgiving her.’
Sun Yeshu was furious now and refused to even look at Chen Ru.
Meanwhile, Chen Ru stood beside Gu Jiaojiao and spoke cautiously.
"C-can I stand next to you and, and watch?"
Gu Jiaojiao noticed the girl, Chen Ru, was unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes.
"Of course! You can watch right here next to me!"
With that, she reached into her man’s pocket, pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds, and handed them to Chen Ru.
"Eat while you watch."
Chen Ru cupped the sunflower seeds in her hands, stunned for a moment. After a long pause, she placed them in her pocket as if they were a priceless treasure.
Then she asked in a low voice,
"When do you think Xu Wenwan will be back?"
Gu Jiaojiao: ...
’I don’t know, either!’
But seeing that the girl had likely mustered all her courage to speak, she thought for a moment before replying.
"Probably in a little while! After all, it’s almost dark."
