The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Lu Yuanbin was so angry he wanted to drag Chen JianShe out and beat him up.

But that was just Zhu Wanqi’s personality—unforgiving when she knew she was in the right.

”You have to give me a proper explanation for this. Otherwise, I’m not going inside.”

Even though Lu Yuanbin was quick-witted, he was at a loss when faced with Zhu Wanqi.

For a moment, the atmosphere grew tense, reaching a stalemate.

When Gu Jiaojiao came out of her room, she saw Lu Yuanbin standing at the entrance. In the background, she thought she glimpsed a familiar face.

She walked to the door, and when she saw it was Zhang Tianming and Zhu Wanqi, she immediately smiled. ”Your face looks like it’s all better! Perfect timing. I made a box of facial masks for you that can repair damaged skin. I’ll get them for you in a bit.”

Zhu Wanqi, who moments ago had been aggressively demanding an explanation from Lu Yuanbin, suddenly broke into a delighted smile. She pushed Lu Yuanbin aside and threw her arms around Gu Jiaojiao.

”Oh, Jiaojiao, you’re the best! I came here specifically to thank you this time, haha. So, where are those facial masks? Can I go see them now?”

With a helpless look on his face, Zhang Tianming had the driver get their gifts from the trunk, then followed them into the courtyard.

He listened to his wife. ’The first half of her sentence was probably just a courtesy,’ he thought. ’The second half was what she really cared about.’

The driver’s hands were full as he carried the gifts directly into the courtyard.

A smile spread across Leng Shuyue’s face. ’This is a perfect opportunity to make up with Leng Yuan,’ she thought. ’And with Zhang Tianming here, Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao wouldn’t dare kick me out in front of their guests.’

She immediately got in line behind the driver, intending to follow him inside.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Lu Yuanbin pulled the driver in, then SLAMMED the door shut and swiftly bolted it.

The driver was completely baffled.

He glanced back at Lu Yuanbin, who had already slung an arm around his shoulder. ”Come on! Let’s go inside.”

The driver was pulled into the house.

As for Zhu Wanqi, the moment she stepped into the courtyard, the aroma of food wafted over, and she instantly felt hungry.

’What in the world is that incredible smell?’ she wondered. She came from a wealthy family and had eaten all sorts of things, but how could the aroma of the food at Gu Jiaojiao’s house be so alluring?

Zhu Wanqi was torn.

She had two great loves in her life. The first was her face, which she cared for obsessively—otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent so much money on two sets of skincare products.

The other was a hidden passion: eating.

Zhu Wanqi had absolutely no resistance when it came to food; she was the type who couldn’t walk away from a delicious meal.

Her father used to say that even though she never wanted for food or drink growing up, she’d always had this shameless craving.

Zhu Wanqi didn’t care. She would even declare that she must have starved to death in a past life, which was why she loved eating so much in this one.

In fact, she had been won over and married Zhang Tianming because he had plied her with food...

Gu Jiaojiao saw Zhu Wanqi’s eyes glued to the kitchen. She had the classic look of a foodie.

Gu Jiaojiao said considerately, ”Wan Qi, the food will be ready soon. Why don’t we wait in the room first? We can look at the facial masks after we eat.”

Zhu Wanqi immediately nodded like an obedient child.

Zhang Tianming followed them into the room. Leng Yuan was in the kitchen, while Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang were tending the fire. Lu Yuanbin was in charge of entertaining Zhang Tianming, and Gu Jiaojiao took care of Zhu Wanqi.

Once inside the house, they noticed a very pleasant aroma. It had a faint hint of medicinal herbs and was incredibly refreshing.

Zhu Wanqi asked curiously, ”What is that scent? It smells like Bai Shu, yet also like flowers. It’s lovely!”

”It’s incense.”

Gu Jiaojiao had made some incense for herself in her spare time.
