The next morning, Chu Yuanzhi went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. According to the request of He Jihong, he bought the prawns that Tang Weiguo loved to eat. Chu Qiao changed into an old-fashioned shirt and black pants. Her shoulder-length hair was scattered. With her bangs down, her eyes were covered, revealing half of her face which was pale and gloomy.

Chu Qiao looked at Sadako in the mirror with satisfaction. With this ugly appearance, Gu Jianshe should have looked down on her, right?

The routine of Chu family’s breakfast was cooked rice in soup, served with fermented bean curd, a few fried dough sticks, and a small plate of pickles. Chu Qiao ate a bowl of it and was ready to go out.

“Aunt He, I’m going to the tea house.”

Chu Qiao said.

He Jihong, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and saw her old-fashioned appearance. She could not help but frown when she saw it. She took a clip to clip her bangs. As soon as her beautiful and charming face appeared, Chu Qiao’s temperament and appearance changed. No matter how old-fashioned she was, she could not hide the fact that she was a beauty.

“Qingquan Teahouse, meet at 08:30. Be careful when you speak.”

He Jihong gave her a few words of advice and let her go. This vixen’s appearance (Chu Qiao), was the one that would be liked by any man. Gu Jianshe would definitely agree to this marriage, which will save Bilian from thinking about Gu Jianshe all day.

Chu Qiao left the family building. In July, Shanghai was very hot. Cicadas kept chirping, and the heat was rolling. The floor was hot and the sandals were almost melted.

She picked up her umbrella and walked slowly towards Qingquan Teahouse, which was near the family building of the hospital. The family building was behind the hospital, and the outpatient building and the inpatient department were in front. When she came out, she had to go through the outpatient building.

A black shadow rushed out in front of her, and then she was knocked down. Half of her shoulders hurt, and she fell to the ground. Her butt was scalding hot.

“I’m sorry, auntie. I’ll help you up.”

A clear male voice sounded, it sounded familiar. It overlapped with a certain tense voice in her memory. Chu Qiao raised her head, it was really that man.

However, he was much younger, and his handsome face was very anxious. He carried a little boy on his back and held another boy of seven or eight years old in his hand. 

Seeing the true face of “auntie”, Gu Ye was stunned for a moment. The contrast was big.

This dress was more old-fashioned than his mother’s, which made him think that it was more polite to call ‘auntie’. But looking at her face, which was more attractive than a vixen, makes him want to slap himself now.

He was so blind!

“Yes……I’m sorry, m……miss…… I didn’t mean it. Did you get hurt?”

It took a long while for Gu Ye to regain his senses. He didn’t dare to look at Chu Qiao again. His eyes turned down, and he happened to see a pair of delicate and fair skinned feet with pink toes. They were small, and he could hold them with one hand.

Hold in one grip!

A delicate feet!

These two words suddenly popped up in Gu Ye’s mind, he gulped down his saliva. His throat was still very dry, his forehead was sweating. Today’s sun was really malicious, he was about to suffer from heatstroke.

Otherwise, how could you hallucinate and think of a peerless beauty as an auntie?

Everyone, including the Gu family, thought that Gu Ye was not close to women, and even hated women. Even with his mother, he didn’t have a good relationship with. But no one knew that Gu Ye actually had three good requirements——

Slender waist, delicate feet, baby voice

With no particular order, he liked them all.

This pair of delicate feet in front of him, were exactly right for him in his heart. Just like a ray of light, it hit his heart that had been silent for 27 years.

It revived!

Thump thump… Thump thump…

His heart was beating faster and faster, the palms of his hands were itching. Gu Ye used his boundless strength to restrain his impulse to grab the feet of this girl, and warned himself that he was a married man and could not act indecently.
