?Chapter 28: Twenty-eight. I’m going into town with my wife and kids!_1 Chapter 28: Twenty-eight. I’m going into town with my wife and kids!_1 But Gu Chen understood clearly.
No matter who she had been before, now, she was his wife.
And it didn’t interfere with his liking and love for her.
That was an unchangeable fact.
The most pressing matter was to make sure she stayed first…
As for her origins, he believed that one day, he would warm her heart once more.
And she would tell him herself.
Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen’s excited face and, with her rosy little mouth pursed, she chuckled.
“I just said it off the cuff, it just happened to be the right guess.”
She truly had just spoken without thinking, not expecting to actually be of help to Gu Chen.
And this, she found quite delightful.
Gu Chen picked up a stuffed pancake and took a big bite.
One word, delicious!
Seeing Gu Chen eating, Ji Pianran also took a bite of the stuffed pancake in her hand.
The chunks of meat inside were large; as she chewed, a rich broth followed, oozing out.
The fragrance filled her throat and nostrils.
Simply superb.
After eating, Gu Chen collected the bowls and chopsticks.
He washed the dishes clean and glanced at Ji Pianran’s room.
After locking the kitchen door from the outside, he then entered the space.
Gu Chen first dug about a dozen small holes and then placed the handful of dry goji berries he was holding into the holes one by one.
He covered them with soil and followed up by pouring some Spirit Spring Water over each planted goji berry.
Goji berries have their seeds inside the fruit.
In truth, Gu Chen wasn’t very sure about this because these goji berries had already dried out.
He didn’t know what the survival rate of the seeds would be.
But just a few seconds after Gu Chen finished watering them, something surprising happened.
One after the other, delicate green sprouts, like little seedlings, broke through the soil.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so had all sprung up.
He nodded to himself, silently impressed.
“Sure enough, it has to be the system, truly miraculous!”
He quickly watered them a second time, then a third.
Watching the sprouts grow bit by bit into the shape of little trees.
Only then did Gu Chen begin to plant the cabbage.
Like yesterday, he had left some seeds from that one cabbage.
This time, Gu Chen didn’t plant all the seeds, instead only planting about twenty.
He was planning to go with Ji Pianran tomorrow.
If he planted all these seeds now, he really wouldn’t be able to carry so many cabbages.
And just these twenty-odd plants would probably take quite an effort to handle.
After planting the cabbage, Gu Chen looked over the quietly growing Spirit Field and breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been planting and watering inside for what felt like an hour.
He wondered if Tang Tang had been looking for him.
With that thought, Gu Chen hurriedly left the space.
Once outside, Gu Chen looked at the clock hanging in the kitchen, only to realize that the hour he had spent in the space was just a mere minute outside.
His brow quirked.
He was inwardly amazed, no wonder the growth rate of things in the space was so fast.
It turns out that even time was different from the outside world.
He washed his hands and, as always, made a bottle of milk for Tang Tang.
He went to Ji Pianran’s room, picked up Tang Tang, and took her back to his own room to sleep.
…
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
Gu Chen woke up even earlier today than yesterday.
Ji Pianran also got up very early, after all, she was still thinking about going into the city with Gu Chen.
To be honest, in the three years she had been married to Gu Chen, Ji Pianran had only been to the city twice. The first time was the day before their wedding, to buy things in the city.
The second time was to take Tangtang to see the doctor.
Today would be the third time, and it was to look for a job!
Although nothing was set in stone yet and it was just a meeting,
she was quite fond of this job opportunity in her heart.
She washed her face and carefully combed her hair, donning her cleanest clothes.
It was a plain light blue cotton-padded jacket embroidered with silvery-white albizia flowers. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
This piece of clothing was bought when she got married, and over the years, Ji Pianran had always been reluctant to wear it, so it still looked quite new.
The cotton-padded jacket was form-fitting, and since Ji Pianran was naturally thin, it did not look bulky on her at all but rather accentuated her figure.
The plain blue color made her inherently fair skin appear even more delicate.
She casually tied up her hair.
Her delicate oval face, hidden behind some stray hairs, had eyes like onyx, with a faint soft light within, extremely beautiful.
Her lips were small and pink, truly a cherry-like mouth.
After getting ready, Ji Pianran put on her shoes, thinking of heading to the kitchen to warm up the meat pies from last night, waiting for Gu Chen and Tangtang to wake up so the family of three could have breakfast before heading into the city.
She stepped out of the room.
Just as she lifted the curtain over the door, she saw Gu Chen coming out as well.
Gu Chen instinctively glanced at Ji Pianran.
The latter had clearly seen him too.
As their eyes met, Gu Chen saw before him the beauty of Ji Pianran, who looked as if she had stepped out of a painting, like a fairy.
Gu Chen felt his heart skip a beat.
She was really too beautiful!
With such a gorgeous wife, why hadn’t he cherished her more in his past life?
He had even admired free love.
With his own conditions, if he really went for free love, he’d be killed before getting someone as beautiful as her!
He really was a fool with no self-respect!
Ji Pianran saw him staring straight at her and felt a bit embarrassed.
She lowered her eyes, saying softly, “You’re up early.”
Gu Chen touched his head, laughed heartily, “Aren’t you up early too?”
After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen.
“I’m going to heat up the meat pies, and I’ll also prepare the milk powder for Tangtang.”
Ji Pianran hurriedly followed behind him, “Then let me help you.”
Lately, Gu Chen had almost singlehandedly taken over the kitchen work, and Ji Pianran felt somewhat embarrassed.
Gu Chen did not stop her, and he smiled, “Alright, then you make the milk for Tangtang.”
Over the past few days, Gu Chen had also figured out Tangtang’s sleeping habits.
As long as he got up, ten minutes later, the little girl would surely open her eyes and then look for her daddy everywhere.
He didn’t want to hear Tangtang’s crying anymore.
Ji Pianran nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
The two entered the kitchen, with Ji Pianran preparing the milk and Gu Chen heating up the pies, their cooperation seamless.
Once the milk was prepared, Ji Pianran went to get Tangtang up in Gu Chen’s room.
The family of three had breakfast, Ji Pianran also brushed the little girl’s teeth, washed her face, and tied her hair.
Only then did the three of them leave the house.
Just as they were leaving, coincidentally, Shen Cuilan and Tian Laosì were heading out to work.
They saw the family of three walking towards the bus station, talking and laughing.
They remembered the various scents that had recently drifted into their yard.
Shen Cuilan couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s really strange, I always feel like their family’s life is getting better, isn’t it?”
Tian Laosì sighed, “Stop eyeing other people’s business all day, focus on living your own life first!”
After speaking, he couldn’t help but look back at the departing figures of Gu Chen’s family of three.
Indeed, their silhouettes exuded a sense of joy and harmony.
