Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1164: Are You Stupid...

At this moment, Ye Zhi, while hating Gong Juechen for his bad mouth, also began to loathe his wealth.

”Zhizhi, wait for me!” Gong Juechen, not at all angry about being hit in the face with a silver note worth a thousand taels, hurriedly picked up the thousand-tael silver note that fell to the ground and chased after Ye Zhi.

The devilishly handsome face even had a particularly big smile on it.

”Hey, you...” It was one thing for Ye Zhi to leave without washing clothes, but the Embroidery Building’s owner was unhappy when Gong Juechen left with the thousand taels silver note as well; he wanted to call them back, but one look from Gong Juechen, a casual glance from his peach blossom eyes as if stained with blood, made one’s heart skip a beat. Upon seeing that, the Embroidery Building’s owner immediately silenced himself, not daring to call them back again.

Once Ye Zhi left the Embroidery Building, she walked briskly down the street, angrily muttering a continuous stream of curses directed at Gong Juechen, not caring that he was actually following her and calling out to her.

Seeing a steamed bun shop on the side with lots of steaming hot meat buns and realizing she hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, Ye Zhi immediately turned her steps and sat down at an empty table in the bun shop.

As soon as she sat down, Ye Zhi called out loudly, ”Boss, give me two meat buns!”

Gong Juechen caught up and, grinning cheekily, sat opposite Ye Zhi. He didn’t start a conversation with her right away but instead said to the owner delivering the meat buns to Ye Zhi, ”Boss, four more meat buns for this table.”

”Alrighty!”

After the bun shop owner brought over four meat buns to him, Gong Juechen started speaking to Ye Zhi with a playful smile, ”Zhizhi, you won’t have to work so hard in the future.”

”Get lost.” She had lost her job because of this man, and she really couldn’t stand him; it would be strange if Ye Zhi showed Gong Juechen a friendly face.

While munching on the meat buns, Gong Juechen looked at Ye Zhi with a pathetic expression, ”Zhizhi, I’m doing this for your good...”

”I don’t need it!” Ye Zhi took a fierce bite of the meat bun, as if biting into Gong Juechen himself.

”Zhizhi, I really do have your best interests at heart. Seeing you do such heavy labor, it breaks my heart...” Gong Juechen’s tone even started to sound a bit tearful as he spoke.

The corners of Ye Zhi’s mouth twitched. A grown man always looking like he’s about to cry, it’s really...

”I can only find such heavy work to do, you know?” Ye Zhi said through clenched teeth. It was truly difficult for a woman to find a job here.

The problem was she couldn’t do needlework, which made it even harder for her to find a job.

And she had finally managed to find work doing odd jobs at the Embroidery Building, but now, she didn’t need to work there anymore.

She had no idea where her next job would come from...

Ye Zhi was really getting angry.

”So,” Gong Juechen very smoothly continued the conversation, ”you don’t have to look for a job anymore. Just stay in the mansion every day, and we can play together all the time. How great would that be?”

”Go to hell!” Ye Zhi cursed as soon as she opened her mouth, feeling fiery inside, ”Who wants to play with you! I have to earn my own living!”

Gong Juechen looked at her as if she were silly, and he even said it out loud, ”Zhizhi, are you being silly? I’m giving you money, but you don’t want it; instead, you insist on doing this kind of dirty, laborious work?”

Ye Zhi turned her head away and said with the back of her head facing him, ”Talking to you is useless; don’t talk to me!”

Gong Juechen, looking at the back of Ye Zhi’s head, thought her angry demeanor was really too cute, making him want to tease her even more.

”Zhizhi, don’t be angry,” Gong Juechen said with a smile as he ate his meat buns, speaking to the back of Ye Zhi’s head.
