Chapter 209 Stealing a Partner
The next day
Gu Yihan yawned as she walked out of the bedroom and glanced at Lu Huailin, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
He said in surprise, "That's strange, it's so late to see you at home."
Lu Huailin put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and walked to his wife's side, taking her hand and leading her to the sofa.
He then put his arm around her waist and whispered, "Wife, I want to kiss you."
Gu Yihan was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Lu Huailin had already held the back of her head and sealed her lips with his.
"Oh my!"
As soon as Grandma Gu pushed open the living room door, she quickly covered her eyes and retreated.
He muttered to himself, "Isn't he afraid that my old woman will get a sty?"
Hearing her grandmother's shout, Gu Yihan pushed Lu Huailin away and glared at him: "Grandma saw me just now."
"Wife, our relationship is legal!" Lu Huailin whispered with a grin as he leaned down close to Gu Yihan's ear.
Gu Yi ignored him, stood up, and sat down at the dining table.
She poured herself a glass of water and deliberately instructed Lu Huailin to serve her rice.
Lu Huailin smiled upon hearing this and walked to his wife's side.
He sat down next to her, served her rice, and even peeled the eggshells for her.
The family finished breakfast.
Lu Huailin took his wife's hand and walked into the yard, patting the back seat of the bicycle.
He said, "Wife, I'll be your driver for the day."
Gu Yihan looked at Lu Huailin suspiciously: "Did you take the day off today?"
Lu Huailin smiled and nodded, offering no explanation.
At the entrance of the courtyard
Just as Gu Yihan got on her bicycle, Aunt Chen's courtyard gate opened.
She watched as a strange man walked out; he was quite burly, probably over 1.85 meters tall.
The stranger glanced at Gu Yihan, who was sitting on the back of the bicycle.
He turned to Lu Huailin and smiled, saying, "Commander Lu."
Lu Huailin nodded slightly and said, "Good morning, Commander Zhou."
"Hey, don't forget to buy food from the cafeteria when you come back this afternoon."
Gu Yihan heard a familiar voice and looked towards Aunt Chen's yard in confusion.
Commander Zhou turned and called out to the courtyard, "Understood, wife."
After exchanging pleasantries for a few minutes, Commander Zhou took his leave.
Lu Huailin narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Wife, what are you looking at!"
Gu Yihan withdrew her gaze from Commander Zhou and patted Lu Huailin's arm.
He said irritably, "You'll be late."
Lu Huailin watched Commander Zhou's departing figure, then raised his hand and touched his face.
I thought to myself, I should secretly apply some of my wife's face cream tonight to take care of myself.
Seeing that Lu Huailin was in a daze and showed no sign of leaving, Gu Yihan slapped him on the back.
He spoke up, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Startled by his wife's sudden attack, Lu Huailin snapped back to reality and quickly spurred his bicycle on, shouting, "Alright!"
Gu Yihan sat sideways in the car, thinking all the way, feeling that Commander Zhou's wife's voice sounded very familiar.
Where have you heard this before?
Textile factory gate
Gu Yihan had just gotten off her bicycle when she saw Hu Shan and Ye Qingqing riding over.
Hu Shan glanced at Lu Huailin beside Gu Yihan and said with a smile, "Xiao Han."
Gu Yihan greeted Hu Shan with a smile and exchanged a few more words.
Seeing that Gu Yihan was pretending not to see her, Ye Qingqing pouted and smiled as she spoke to Lu Huailin, "Are you Gu Yihan's lover?"
Lu Huailin didn't even glance at Ye Qingqing, but turned to Gu Yihan and whispered, "Wife, I'm leaving now."
"Okay." Gu Yihan was very satisfied with Lu Huailin's decision to ignore Ye Qingqing.
"Is that person your lover?" Ye Qingqing asked softly as she pushed her bicycle to Gu Yihan's side.
Gu Yihan looked at her suspiciously: "Is something the matter?"
"Your partner has absolutely no manners!" Ye Qingqing muttered, puffing out her cheeks.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan's expression turned cold. She glanced at Ye Qingqing and said coldly, "Who do you think you are?"
Hu Shan realized the situation was not good.
She quickly pushed her bicycle between Ye Qingqing and Gu Yihan, and said with a smile, "Xiaohan, Qingqing and I will go first."
Before Gu Yihan could answer, he tried to pull Ye Qingqing's bicycle to the other side.
"Why are you pulling me?" Ye Qingqing waved away Hu Shan's hand and said irritably.
Hu Shan was so angry at Ye Qingqing that she almost died.
She had told Gu Yihan to stay away from Secretary Jiang, worried that this brainless woman would cling to her.
Now look what's happened, they're blaming it all on themselves.
Ye Qingqing glanced at Gu Yihan, deliberately stomped her foot, and snorted coldly: "I didn't say anything wrong."
Gu Yihan watched Ye Qingqing's actions, pondered for a moment, and then smiled.
"This is the first time I've seen someone deliberately puff out their cheeks when they talk, and stomp their feet to act young."
Gu Yihan gave Ye Qingqing a meaningful look, then smiled and turned to leave.
Ye Qingqing stared intently at Gu Yihan's back: "What does she mean?"
A female worker in the workshop couldn't help but laugh after hearing Gu Yihan's words.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Qingqing turned to look at the female worker in the workshop, embarrassed and angry.
Hu Shan rubbed her temples and glanced at the crowd of people coming and going.
He walked up to Ye Qingqing and whispered, "Sister Qingqing, I'm leaving now."
Without waiting for her reply, he pushed his bicycle and left.
Ye Qingqing quickly jogged to catch up with Hu Shan and muttered, "Gu Yihan's lover isn't as good-looking as Brother Jiang."
Hu Shan took a deep breath and said bluntly, "Sister Qingqing, how long do you plan to stay at my house?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingqing frowned and looked at Hu Shan: "I had a fight with your cousin and I don't want to live in his rented house."
Hu Shan was furious.
After parking his bicycle, he walked straight to the accountant's office without saying goodbye.
Gu Yihan had just put her handbag into the drawer when Hu Shan walked in with a dark face and kicked the stool.
Gu Yihan heard a sharp sound of the stool scraping against the ground and quickly covered her ears.
She began, "Sister Shan, have you forgotten you're pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Shan subconsciously touched her still-flat belly: "Almost four months."
She pulled up a stool, plopped down on it, sighed, and said, "Xiaohan, what do you think we should do to get rid of Ye Qingqing?"
Gu Yihan looked up at Hu Shan in surprise: "Isn't that Secretary Jiang's business? What does it have to do with you?"
Hu Shan rubbed her face, on the verge of tears, and said, "She insists on staying at my house."
Gu Yihan was stunned upon hearing this: "Go to your house? Where does Officer Cheng live?"
Hu Shan lay down on the table, turned her head to look at Gu Yihan with her arm as a pillow, and said weakly, "Cheng Bo set up a makeshift bed in the living room."
Gu Yihan looked at Hu Shan in disbelief, not understanding what she was thinking. Wasn't she afraid that Ye Qingqing would steal her away?
"Xiaohan, why are you looking at me like that? It's weird." Hu Shan immediately sat up and touched her face.
Gu Yihan thought for a moment and then said, "Sister Shan, your face is very clean."
She then joked with a smile, "Sister Shan, you really trust Director Cheng!"
Hu Shan laughed. As long as Cheng Bo came home, he wouldn't let her do any housework.
She was quite satisfied with this: "Of course, I manage all the money in the house."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan stopped talking and smiled at her.
