"Hehe, I don't know..."

Gu Yingying smiled and begged for forgiveness.

Glancing at Ye Yun's stomach, she suddenly shuddered and covered her mouth, letting out a scream: "Wait a minute! Didn't she already give birth? I even attended the full moon celebration, was it a fake one?"

Gu Jin: "Can't she get pregnant again?"

"That's true." Gu Yingying chuckled again, glanced at Ye Yun's belly, and gave a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

Ye Yun couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, "..."

The moment she saw Gu Yingying, she felt like her good days were over.

She gave Gu Jin a resentful look. "You said you were coming, so why did you bring her along?"

Gu Jin shrugged helplessly.

He had originally gone back to his house in the county town to get some things, and Gu Yingying happened to be there too. When she learned that he was currently in the county town with Qin Zheng, she insisted on coming over to visit him.

She insisted that she hadn't seen Ye Yun's home in the county town yet and had to come and see it.

How could he refuse?

Gu Yingying's commotion was quite loud and reached upstairs. Qin Zheng also carried Xiao Chuqi out of the room.

"Oh! It's a little baby!"

Upon seeing Xiao Chuqi, Gu Yingying's attention immediately turned to the child, and she couldn't wait to reach out her arms to hug him.

Qin Zheng simply avoided her.

Gu Yingying: "..."

Oh, damn it.

Ye Yun couldn't be touched, Xiao Chuqi couldn't be touched, and Qin Zheng was even more untouchable. Feeling bored, she simply plopped down on the sofa and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Brother! I'm hungry! I want to eat stewed chicken with potatoes!"

Gu Jin glanced at her, sat down on the sofa, and placed the helmet on the coffee table.

"Do it later, take a break."

"No, I'll eat it now!"

"..."

"I want to eat! I'm hungry! Stewed chicken with potatoes takes a long time!" Gu Yingying protested, stomping her feet and whining, her lips pouting so much they could hang a sesame oil bottle on them.

Gu Jin: "..."

"elder brother!"

"Alright, alright, stop it." Unable to bear Gu Yingying's relentless whining, Gu Jin reluctantly got up, picked up the ingredients, and went into the kitchen.

Gu Yingying smiled contentedly and called out to Gu Jin's retreating figure, "Brother, you're so good!"

Gu Jin's back visibly trembled.

Ye Yun and Qin Zheng: "..."

The door to the upstairs guest room was ajar. Ye Yun glanced at it discreetly, gave Qin Zheng a look, and then followed him into the kitchen.

Gu Jin is peeling potatoes.

The chopped chicken pieces have been soaked in a small iron basin to remove the blood and maintain freshness.

The older sister stood to the side, somewhat at a loss.

As the family's nanny, she wanted to help Gu Jin, but Gu Jin wouldn't let her. He insisted on doing it himself and wouldn't even let her peel a clove of garlic. She didn't know whether to leave or stay, so she looked at Ye Yun with pleading eyes.

Ye Yun waved for her to do other things.

The eldest sister breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the kitchen.

Ye Yun reached out and closed the kitchen door.

The kitchen is always smoky, and the door needs to be closed when cooking, so Ye Yun's actions did not arouse suspicion from others.

Qin Zheng guessed that Ye Yun must have something to talk to Gu Jin about. As for what it was, he would ask Ye Yun when he got back to his room that night and no one was around.

Anyway, it's inextricably linked to Tang Shu.

Yeah, there's some juicy gossip tonight!

In the kitchen, Gu Jin turned his head and saw Ye Yun standing next to him. He subconsciously dodged to the side. "Damn, when did you come in?"

Ye Yun said innocently, "Just now."

"Are you a ghost? You're not making a sound!"

"Bullshit, you're the one who didn't make a sound." Ye Yun rolled her eyes at him. "I just told my older sister to leave. You were the one who was staring at the potatoes in your hand, not even looking up. What, are these potatoes your lost childhood sweetheart?"

Gu Jin was taken aback. "What is a white moonlight?"

"..."

Okay, okay, okay.

"Alright, I can't argue with you. A good man doesn't fight with a woman. The kitchen isn't a place for you. It's filthy. Go out and play with Gu Yingying." He raised his arm and shooed Ye Yun outside.

Ye Yun is not going out.

Gu Jin tried to shoo her away, but she dodged to the side, leaning against the cabinet, and got straight to the point: "Mr. Gu, how are things going with Ms. Tang lately?"

Gu Jin paused.

He stopped chasing Ye Yun, withdrew his hand, continued peeling potatoes, lowered his eyes, and said indifferently, "It's fine as it is."

"What do you mean by 'like that'?"

"Why are you asking these questions?" Gu Jin looked up at her, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

Ye Yun smiled and said, "Of course I'm curious."

"As you know, I haven't seen you and Tang Shu since I returned to the county. I don't know how far things have progressed between you and Tang Shu. You and Qin Zheng are brothers who have risked their lives for each other, so naturally I care about your marriage."

Gu Jin clicked her tongue. "Don't worry about it."

"..."

How heartless.

Ye Yun refused to give up and continued to press, "Why are you running away?"

"No escape?"

"Is it not going well?"

"..."

If you don't answer, I'll just have to take that as a yes.

"..."

Ye Yun pursed her lips, sensing that something small had happened between him and Tang Shu.

Otherwise, he shouldn't have reacted this way.

Given Gu Jin's personality, if his relationship with Tang Shu had gone smoothly, he would have already been showing off to her in a very cheeky way.

Just like back then, he dared to propose to Tang Shu directly at Tian Xiaohui's wedding.

"Hey, stop asking me about my affairs. What could possibly happen between Tang Shu and me? It's all an arranged marriage anyway, so whether there's something going on or not, I still have to marry her, don't I?"
