Ren Jin and Gu Yueji walked into the canteen side by side, and for a moment almost everyone in the canteen looked at them.
Everyone at the construction site knew that Ren Jin was married, but they rarely saw his wife. Now that the two of them were appearing hand in hand, everyone couldn't help but be curious.
With so many eyes watching, it was hard for Gu Yueji to pretend to be calm. She regretted saying she wanted to eat here. Her fingers clenched slightly, ready to let go of Ren Jin's hand, but just as they were about to slip out, he grabbed her hand tightly, preventing her from letting go.
Gu Yueji frowned and looked at him, only to see that he was not at all flustered, and even leaned down affectionately towards her with a smile, saying, "Once you're in, don't even think about running away."
Gu Yueji retorted in a low voice, embarrassed, "I didn't mean to run away."
But it can't stand here as a sculpture for people to visit forever.
Thinking that I should find an empty seat, someone in the crowd shouted, "Sister-in-law!"
Gu Yueji looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qian Mingjun sitting by the window, grinning and waving at her. She immediately smiled.
Unconcerned about the stares of others, he pulled Ren Jin along and strode towards Qian Mingjun.
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here? Didn't my brother say he'd take you out to eat?"
"No need to trouble yourself, you can eat here."
Qian Mingjun paused for a moment, glanced at Zhu Xiaohong in the distance, and worried that it might not be appropriate for her to run into Zhu Xiaohong. "There's nothing good to eat in the cafeteria. Why don't you go out to eat with my brother?"
Gu Yueji shook her head, "No need, isn't your brother busy? He can go straight to work after he finishes eating, no need to run around."
Seeing that everyone was eating with their own lunchboxes, she turned to Ren Jin and asked, "Where's your lunchbox? Bring it to us so we can get our food."
When she asked this question, Ren Jin glanced at the lunchbox in front of Qian Mingjun, which contained the breakfast that Zhu Xiaohong had prepared, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Gu Yueji found it strange that Ren Jin was sitting still. "Why aren't you going? Don't you have a lunchbox?"
Ren Jin thought about it again and felt something was wrong. He hadn't done anything, so why was he trying to cover it up?
He raised his chin at Qian Mingjun and said, "What Mingjun eats is mine."
"Huh?" Gu Yueji was taken aback and looked closely at the lunchbox in front of Qian Mingjun. One of them really did have Ren Jin's name written on it.
“Mingjun has such a big appetite, he needs two lunchboxes,” Gu Yueji joked.
Seeing that Ren Jin had brought it up himself, Qian Mingjun wanted to take the opportunity to speak well of Ren Jin, "It's all because of my brother. He won't eat the food other women bring him, but he eats it all for me, so don't worry, sister-in-law..."
"Cough cough! Just shut up and eat!"
Ren Jin coughed twice, interrupting Qian Mingjun, wondering whether Qian Mingjun wanted to help him or harm him.
Gu Yueji blinked in surprise, rested her chin on her hand, and gave a meaningful "oh," "So, this breakfast was made for him by another woman?"
Qian Mingjun was stunned. He thought that Ren Jin brought it up because Gu Yueji knew about the lunchbox, but he didn't expect that she didn't know. He quickly tried to smooth things over, "No, sister-in-law, all the staff serving food in our canteen are women. Not only my brother's food, but all of our food is served by women."
Gu Yueji looked back at the female workers serving food, one of whom was Zhu Xiaohong. Workers came one after another to eat breakfast. Each of them had a lunchbox, and Zhu Xiaohong would use a spoon to put whichever dish they wanted into their lunchbox.
Gu Yueji looked around for a while, then turned around and pointed at Ren Jin's packed lunchbox. "Others get their lunchboxes packed when they arrive, but your brother must have had them packed in advance. The treatment is definitely different."
Ren Jin pretended to sniff Gu Yueji, then leaned closer and said, "Why do I smell a sour smell? Is someone jealous?"
Gu Yueji denied it, "No, I was just thinking that I could save myself trouble in the future. I wouldn't have to go out early in the morning to buy groceries, make soup, and drive so far to deliver it to you. You'll have someone specially prepare your meals for you, so why would I worry that you'll go hungry?"
Without giving Ren Jin a chance to speak, she got up to get her food, saying, "No one's getting me any, looks like I'll have to fend for myself."
Seeing that Gu Yueji seemed to be heading straight for Zhu Xiaohong, Ren Jin seemed to understand why she came to the cafeteria to eat.
Qian Mingjun looked worried. "Is your sister-in-law angry?"
Ren Jin smiled happily. Gu Yueji was not a weak woman who would hide behind a man and cry. She would solve problems when they arose.
He liked her just the way she was.
Gu Yueji walked up to Zhu Xiaohong, staring sharply at her. "Hello, do you have any shared lunchboxes? I need to get breakfast."
Zhu Xiaohong relied on the fact that the canteen was contracted by her cousin, and that everyone on the construction site sided with her fellow villagers. Moreover, Gu Yueji rarely came to the construction site to accompany Ren Jin, so their relationship didn't seem very good. Therefore, she always believed that she had a chance, and she didn't care if she became a mistress. Ren Jin was handsome and rich, so he didn't pay much attention to Gu Yueji.
However, Gu Yueji's current demeanor caught Zhu Xiaohong off guard, and she handed her a plate with averted eyes.
Gu Yueji stared straight at her, "Give me another serving of the breakfast you just got for Ren Jin."
Zhu Xiaohong was stunned, not expecting Gu Yueji to be so direct, and stood there dumbfounded, holding the plate.
Gu Yueji smiled dismissively, "What? You can call my husband but not me?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Seeing this, the aunties around quickly came over to speak up, "Young lady, don't misunderstand. Xiao Hong is young and doesn't know any better. Don't be angry with her. She was getting food for Boss Ren because she was afraid he would go hungry."
Gu Yueji refused to budge an inch. "There are so many people on this construction site, isn't she afraid that others will go hungry?"
The aunt was speechless after being rebuked. She didn't approve of Zhu Xiaohong's attempt to interfere in other people's marriages either. Now, seeing the two of them standing together, she felt that Zhu Xiaohong was just daydreaming.
Gu Yueji has delicate features, with doe eyes that are slightly upturned at the corners, giving her an alluring look. Her plain face and clean, light pink lips contrast sharply with Zhu Xiaohong's heavy makeup and red lips, making her look as pure and elegant as a lily with dewdrops.
