The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

”Teacher Gu, Mr. Leng is coming over.”

Zhao Zhengfei watched Leng Yuan walk over and cautiously reminded her.

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

’I already saw him, okay?’

’Besides, why does Zhao Zhengfei look so scared of Leng Yuan? That expression... he looks like he has a guilty conscience.’

’Seriously, we were just discussing business. Can he not look so guilty? He’s going to give people the wrong idea, making them think we were up to no good.’

Gu Jiaojiao sighed in resignation. She took a couple of steps forward as Leng Yuan arrived in front of her. ”Are you cold?”

”Even though it’s spring, the wind is still chilly.”

As he spoke, he took off his own scarf and wrapped it around Gu Jiaojiao.

The scarf still held Leng Yuan’s body heat. A pleasant warmth instantly enveloped Gu Jiaojiao’s neck, spreading through her entire body.

Only after taking care of his wife did Leng Yuan look up and glance at Zhao Zhengfei.

That one glance made Zhao Zhengfei even more flustered.

He let out a dry laugh. ”Brother Leng, I didn’t do anything, really!”

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

’Would you please just shut up? If you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything at all.’

’Isn’t this just asking for a misunderstanding?’

Gu Jiaojiao quickly grabbed Leng Yuan’s arm and said with a smile, ”Teacher Zhao was just telling me that you offered to help make the desks and chairs.”

Leng Yuan then remembered he hadn’t told his wife about this yet. He immediately explained, ”The school’s desks are all unusable. The application we sent up still hasn’t been approved, so I promised the principal I’d help make a new batch. I just haven’t had a chance to tell you.”

Leng Yuan’s expression rarely changed, but right now, Gu Jiaojiao could sense that he was a little nervous.

She smiled. ”Making desks is fine, but don’t start just yet. Wait a few days before you begin.”

Leng Yuan didn’t know what Gu Jiaojiao had planned, but he agreed nonetheless.

”Alright, a few days it is.”

”It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”

Gu Jiaojiao nodded. The two of them said goodbye to Zhao Zhengfei and left.

Zhao Zhengfei waited until they were far in the distance before he left as well.

’I didn’t even do anything, so why did Leng Yuan’s glare seem so dangerous just now?’

’My calves were trembling in fear, and they still feel a little weak.’

The reason Gu Jiaojiao told Leng Yuan not to start yet was because of the application.

She planned to find Zhu Wanqi to see if she could help get the application approved as soon as possible.

This was for a considerable sum of money.

Once it was approved, Leng Yuan could still make the school desks. That way, they could save a large portion of the funds to purchase other necessities.

If Leng Yuan started working on them now and those people found out, they might think the principal had already solved the desk problem.

Then they would have a legitimate reason to reject the application.

Gu Jiaojiao knew that Zhu Wanqi loved her beauty products. The face mask she had given her before was probably used up by now, so she decided to make another jar and bring it over.

「The Zhang Family Home.」

Zhu Wanqi gazed at her own dewy, supple skin, feeling absolutely wonderful.

She opened the jar of face mask and saw there was only a tiny bit left. With a pang of regret, she applied it to her face.

She only used this mask twice a week and couldn’t bear to waste a single drop each time. But even being so frugal, she had finally run out.

’It looks like I’ll have to find Gu Jiaojiao and buy another jar of face mask.’

Ever since she started using Gu Jiaojiao’s facial soap, skincare products, and this mask, her skin had become incredibly hydrated.

Recently, her colleagues at work had been pestering her with questions every single day. Zhu Wanqi wanted to brag, but she couldn’t say a thing. It was the classic case of having a secret you were forced to keep, but she rather enjoyed it.
