Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

Fortunately, the door opened in time, saving Lin Jiaojiao's life.

Chi Yue opened the door, and everything Lin Jingshen was carrying fell to the ground with a "thud".

The eggs that Zhong Meixian cooked for them rolled out of the cloth bag and landed at the feet of Gu Jinfeng, who was carrying a child.

Before Gu Jinfeng could even start cursing, her son pouted and threw himself at his daughter-in-law.

He hugged his daughter-in-law and shamelessly shed tears.

Gu Jinfeng swallowed back the curse words that were on the tip of her tongue.

But some people, lacking any sense of propriety, squeezed past a couple who were embracing each other.

Then he rushed in and snatched the child from Gu Jinfeng's arms.

Jiajia was very excited to see her aunt whom she hadn't seen for over a month, and the child bounced around in her grandmother's arms.

Then, without warning, Gu Jinfeng's granddaughter was gone...

Gu Jinfeng's psychological trauma hadn't subsided, and her immediate instinct was to snatch the child back.

But Lin Jiaojiao dodged away while hugging her.

Once Gu Jinfeng realized what had happened, she patted her chest and scolded Lin Jiaojiao with lingering fear, "You brat, you scared me to death!"

"Ever since those dead men robbed Jiajia, I've been terrified. You just come up and try to take her away..." Gu Jinfeng raised her hand, wanting to hit Lin Jiaojiao a few times.

Lin Jingshen stopped crying while holding his wife and instead wiped away his tears, asking, "Who stole Jiajia?"

He will still focus on the key points.

Gu Jinfeng simply recounted the events, including details about the ancestors of those human traffickers, and also retrieved the eggs that had rolled off the ground.

Lin Jiaojiao was quite good at grasping the key point: "If you're with my sister-in-law, how could Jiajia be snatched away?"

"What are you good for?"

Gu Jinfeng quickly made her realize what she was good for.

Watching Lin Jiaojiao sitting to the side, holding Jiajia, sobbing...

Gu Yanli felt much better.

Lin Jiaojiao pouted and sobbed while holding her niece's hand and coaxing her.

Jiajia pulled her hand away and tenderly wiped away her aunt's tears.

Lin Jiaojiao grumbled aggrievedly, "Jiajia, you and your aunt are still the best."

"Don't get along with your grandma anymore. She's never nice to me; she beats me every day..."

What are you chewing on?

When she heard her mother's voice behind her, Lin Jiaojiao immediately shrank her neck even further and whispered even more quietly to her niece.

After calming down, Gu Yanli refused Gu Jinfeng's offer to stay for dinner and took Wen Tang home to his family's residence.

Seeing Lin Jingshen's adorable husband-like demeanor, Wen Tang decided not to stay and disturb the couple's reunion, and got into the car with Gu Yanli and left.

Once no one else was around, Lin Jingshen held Chi Yue's hand and kept rambling on about how he spent his time at home.

On the way, Gu Yanli asked Wen Tang, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Wen Tang sat in the passenger seat, tilting her head and looking at him with a sticky gaze. "Whatever!"

"I enjoy eating simple food with my husband."

"I'm not happy when I'm eating big meals with other people."

Gu Yanli gripped the steering wheel tightly. "I'll make you noodles for dinner tonight."

"Okay~"

By the time they arrived at the family compound, it was already dark.

After dropping off the car, Gu Yanli carried the rest of the way on his back.

Once they reached the stairwell, Gu Yanli turned Wen Tang around so she was hanging in front of him, and carried her upstairs.

He remained calm, while Wen Tang felt a little guilty. "What if someone comes?"

Gu Yanli's voice was also not loud: "At this time, everyone is eating, and no one will go out."

"Shh!"

Gu Yanli was indeed familiar with the daily routine of the family compound, and the two returned to their room without encountering anyone along the way.

Gu Yanli held her with one arm, opened the door with the other, and then pinned her against the door with his other hand.

-

On the third day after Gu Shuhe was transferred to the county town, she met Shen Tingci while at work.

Gu Shuhe was surprised to see Shen Tingci. For a moment, she didn't know whether to greet him or not.

They're not really acquaintances.

They're not exactly acquaintances, but they're somewhat familiar with each other.

Most importantly, Shen Tingci was cold and aloof, and Gu Shuhe didn't have the courage to greet him, mainly because the two weren't familiar with each other.

She wanted to greet people so they wouldn't think she was impolite.

Fortunately, Shen Tingci didn't look at her with a familiar gaze; he simply walked in and said, "Take a bag of Peony tea."

Gu Shuhe quoted a price, and he paid.

When it was time to pay, he suddenly asked, "You work here?"

Gu Shuhe shook her head. "No, we're short-staffed here. I was just transferred here."

"Oh, are you adjusting well?"

"Yes, I'm getting used to it."

After placing the money and tickets on the counter, Shen Tingci picked up a cigarette, opened it, took one out and put it in his mouth. He glanced at Gu Shuhe, then took it away again, his thin lips parting slightly. "If there's anything you can't resolve, you can come to me. I work at the county committee next door."

“…Oh,” Gu Shuhe waited a while before finally saying “Oh,” but even after saying “Oh,” she still felt something was wrong.

She was not familiar with Shen Tingci at all, and their blind date had not even gone well. Under these circumstances, it would be too presumptuous of her to ask him for help.

But Shen Tingci left after saying that.

Gu Shuhe thought again that it was probably just a casual, polite remark.

He casually picked up a rag and wiped the spot where he had just put the cigarette.

It was her habit to wipe the goods after someone else took them.

So although she is good-looking, because of her honest personality, she has never encountered anyone who deliberately made things difficult for her after she started working.

Because she doesn't like to gossip, and she's hardworking, she's willing to do whatever she's supposed to do or not, and she doesn't care, so she gets along well with her colleagues and superiors.

After Gu Shuhe arrived in the county town, she would see Shen Tingci every three days.

Every time Shen Tingci went to the supply and marketing cooperative, he would bring a pack of cigarettes. The second time he went, he asked, "Where do you live here?"

Gu Shuhe said, "I'll stay in the dormitory."

Shen Tingci then asked, "Are you settling in well?"

Gu Shuhe nodded.

The third question was, "Are you used to the work?"

Gu Shuhe nodded.

She doesn't talk much.

They spend less time at home and even less time working outside.

Shen Tingci's thin lips moved slightly, as if he didn't know what to say, so he nodded to her and left.

Then one day, someone from the county committee office went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two baskets of soda and some popsicles. He couldn't carry them all by himself, so he asked Gu Shuhe to help deliver them.

Because she bought a lot, Gu Shuhe went along with them.

When they arrived at the destination, Shen Tingci was also there.

The person who bought the items saw Shen Tingci and said, "Minister, the items have been purchased."

Shen Tingci raised his eyebrows slightly, "Distribute it to everyone."

Zhang Guang nodded, then gestured to Gu Shuhe, "You come here!"

Gu Shuhe nodded to Shen Tingci as a greeting. Shen Tingci always talked to her when they went shopping, so it wouldn't be appropriate to pretend they didn't know each other now.

But as soon as Gu Shuhe nodded, Shen Tingci said to Zhang Guang, "You take the soda in first, and then come out and move this later."

He said, extending his hand to Gu Shuhe, "Here, give it to me."

A box of popsicles, even through the cardboard box, is still icy cold.

Gu Shuhe carried him the whole way, and her fair arms were red from the cold.

Shen Tingci took the box and saw it at a glance, then frowned, "Why are you delivering it?"
