The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Clearly it’s a very monotonous job, yet it exudes an inexplicable tranquility and warmth.

Gu Jingyuan suddenly recalled the times when they lived in that small house at the foot of the mountain, living such a simple and happy life.

Ah Dian was just handling the medicinal herbs, while he was taking care of the sickles, bows, arrows, and sometimes dealing with the prey.

Life was quite hard, yet truly fulfilling.

Unlike his life in the past half-month, filled with dissipation, pleasure-seeking, seeming lively and extravagant on the surface.

But when all these ended, not only did he feel little joy and enjoyment, but instead, a deep sense of emptiness and loss!

Of course, Gu Jingyuan could never return to the ”past,” he still preferred the perhaps empty but wealthy days.

Yet he wanted to preserve a part of his past happiness, so, he no longer hesitated, straightened up, and pushed the door open.

He Tiantian:...

Long before Gu Jingyuan was pacing outside the backyard gate, He Tiantian had already keenly sensed it.

Following the sound of a thud, it directly told her someone had climbed over the wall.

However, she pretended not to notice, continuing with her own affairs.

She wanted to see Gu Jingyuan’s choice:

Was he just concerned, sneaking over to take a look;

Or was he unwilling to let go, wanting to maintain a lingering connection with He Dian.

Clearly, Gu Jingyuan chose the latter.

This person, indeed as she saw, was selfish, possessing that male inferiority—

Wanted both the fish and the bear’s paw, keeping things stable at home while having flings outside!

Heh, who do you think you are?

Do you think the earth revolves around you?

He Tiantian mocked internally, yet she had to still display a surprised expression on her face.

Initially, she was taken aback, instinctively making a defensive, attacking gesture.

When she realized who the ”intruder” was, she couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief, a glint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Finally, all emotions condensed into one simple sentence: ”...why are you here?”

”I came to see you!”

Gu Jingyuan caught that fleeting surprise in He Tiantian’s eyes, he secretly rejoiced: I knew it, Ah Dian also could not bear to leave me.

”See what? What’s there to see? Aren’t you busy out drinking, hunting, and enjoying hot springs with your pals!”

He Tiantian said sulkily, like a woman miffed at her partner.

”Ah Dian, in my heart, you are the most beautiful! It was wrong of me before, always wanting to quickly adapt to the identity of a Marquis Mansion young master, neglecting you for a moment!”

Seeing He Tiantian ”acting coy,” Gu Jingyuan inexplicably felt a sense of joy.

Not fearing a woman crying and making trouble, but fearing she neither cries nor makes a fuss.

If a woman is still willing to argue and entangle with a man, it shows she still cares for him.

Once a woman becomes numb, and doesn’t care about anything, the divergence of paths is not far off.

Gu Jingyuan licked his face, smilingly apologizing, ”Sorry! Ah Dian, as your husband, I apologize to you!”

While saying this, he deliberately made exaggerated movements like an actor performing in a play!

”I wouldn’t dare!” He Tiantian was nearly amused, yet she tried to maintain a stern face, said in a sarcastic tone, ”I am just a mountain village girl, thanks to your blessing, Third Young Master, that I came to the Capital City, into the Marquis Mansion, witnessing wealth and prosperity I’ve never seen in my lifetime!”

”Just like your family Mozhu said, I should know my boundaries, should know how to keep a distance—”

At the mention of ”keeping a distance,” He Tiantian seemed to recall some unpleasant memory.

Her smile disappeared instantly, no hint of joking, but rather sincerely said, ”What others say is true, between you and me, it is indeed appropriate to keep a distance!”

”Third Young Master, I have already received this shop and a thank-you gift of one thousand taels of silver from the Marchioness, considered as settling my life-saving grace for you!”

”From now on, I have no more ties with the Marquis Mansion!”

”And you, Third Young Master, have a virtuous wife from a well-known family, clever and sensible children, a loving mother, filial children, harmonious brothers, your family couldn’t be more harmonious!”

”I, an uncouth, low-born mountain village girl, really do not deserve someone as noble as you! And even more so, I dare not destroy your blessed family!”

”In the future, please, Third Young Master, don’t come looking for me, let’s lead our lives separately and peacefully!”

As He Tiantian spoke, she furiously stood up, brandishing the medicine pestle in her hand, driving Gu Jingyuan from the room to the courtyard, then opened the gate, pushing him out.

Gu Jingyuan:...
