Unable to accept being rescued by another man, she struggled even more fiercely. This gave Wang Changjiu, who had gone into the water to save her, a reason to grope her.

When he rescued them, both of them were disheveled, and a crowd of onlookers had already gathered on the shore. Even if Fang Qing didn't like Wang Changjiu, she had no choice but to marry him.

Shuning, you don't know, back then, when Wang Changjiu was hugging and embracing the pretty educated youth in the river, many unmarried bachelors on the bank regretted it, and many people muttered about why they didn't get to have such a good thing.

This whole ordeal not only earned him a good reputation for saving lives, but also brought his beautiful wife along.

If I had jumped into the water to save someone, wouldn't I be the one holding that beautiful woman right now?

After listening to Gu Xinyi's story, Chen Shuning thought to himself, "This really is a case of art imitating life. The plots in novels can actually happen in real life."

Well, that's not right either. She transmigrated into a novel, so it's normal for such bizarre things to happen.

But when she gets back, she'll have to have a good talk with Brother He. It's best not to do things like rescuing a young woman from drowning in the future, especially if you know someone, because who knows which one of them might have been part of a pre-arranged scheme.

Turning around again, Chen Shuning saw Gu Xinyi with a look that said, "Praise me!" and immediately burst out laughing.

She found Gu Xinyi in front of her very cute. Even though it was her boyfriend who was being schemed against, Gu Xinyi made it sound like she was telling someone else's story, and she was even recounting it vividly.

Chen Shuning reached out and tapped Gu Xinyi's forehead, laughing as he said, "You're really carefree, aren't you? Didn't you feel scared afterward? If you hadn't finished work early that day and happened to be going to the mountains to pick wild grapes, Fang Qing's plan might have succeeded."

"Your boyfriend is being targeted by so many people, and frankly, the guy you're dating doesn't seem very bright. Aren't you afraid he might get taken advantage of someday?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyi's smile faded, and she said helplessly, "What can we do? To be honest, sometimes I really want to scratch his face so that fewer people will think about him."

At this point, Gu Xinyi seemed to remember something and reached out to tickle Chen Shuning's ticklish spot, saying relentlessly as she tickled, "Who are you calling not smart? My brother Gao is just unconventional, but he is a man of great wisdom."

I think you're just envious of me.

Chen Shuning, scratched repeatedly, begged for mercy, nodded, and said, "Okay, okay, your Brother Gao is the smartest, alright?"

Gu Xinyi then laughed happily and said, "Haha, I knew it! How could my taste be bad?"

Chen Shuning laughed along and said, "Yes, yes, your Brother Gao is the best, you have the best taste, okay?"

Hearing this, Gu Xinyi was even happier. The two girls laughed and joked for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Shuning remembered that someone was waiting at home, so she quickly said goodbye to Gu Xinyi and went back to prepare lunch.
