"Even if we wanted to investigate, we are powerless to do so; we no longer have the authority."
"I'll stop thinking about things that I can't find out for now; thinking about them will only cause me more trouble."
Gu Sinian hugged her even tighter; only she would care whether she was tired or happy.
"Okay. I don't want to think about it anymore. The truth will come out when the time is right."
"It's good that you think this way. Let yourself off the hook, make yourself happier, and live a less stressful life."
"Things that we can't investigate now, you might be able to investigate when the time is right."
"Thank you for your kind words."
She wasn't bragging; Gu Sinian would become a high-ranking official in the future, otherwise Qiao Xiyan wouldn't have gone to such lengths to come to the countryside and insist on marrying him.
They brought up the engagement that had already been annulled.
Speaking of Qiao Xiyan, a scene suddenly flashed through Su Ying's mind, a scene that she couldn't shake off: the scene of her bending down to help Qiao Xiyan pick up her things.
She hugged the man's waist tightly, feeling a sense of panic.
"The medicine packet that Qiao Xiyan dropped when she came back is very suspicious. If she had nothing to hide, why would she be so guilty? I'm afraid she bought that thing to deal with you."
Gu Sinian felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary, so he hugged her back, taking it as a little girl's unique way of showing concern, and he was still quite happy inside.
"Have you forgotten what your man did before he was sent to the countryside? Don't worry too much, I have my own judgment. Qiao Xiyan is not qualified to scheme against me."
Su Ying was filled with worry, and a sense of unease spread through her heart. "Anyway, I don't care. Don't touch anything that has been handled by Qiao Xiyan these next few days, or I won't be responsible for anything that happens."
Having grown up in Shanghai, Su Ying has seen all sorts of dirty tricks and has been through it all.
Sometimes, when women get ruthless, men really have nothing on them.
She was 100% certain that what fell out of Qiao Xiyan's pocket wasn't anything good.
Gu Sinian frowned, recalling the scene of getting on the bus at the supply and marketing cooperative; Qiao Xiyan's expression was indeed very strange.
He's too guilty.
If you have a clear conscience, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.
Holding Su Ying tightly in his arms, Gu Sinian's voice, tinged with a hint of coquetry, rang out, "Yes, ma'am. I'll do whatever you say."
“I won’t eat at the same table as her, I’ll stay far away from her, I won’t even let her get close to me, and I will resolutely refuse to touch anything she offers me, is that alright?”
Su Ying chuckled, pushed away Gu Sinian's warm embrace, and pinched his cheek with a punishing rub.
"Men with a sense of boundaries are particularly attractive."
When it comes to a sense of boundaries, no one can compare to him. Apart from Su Ying, no woman can get close to him.
"I've upheld male virtues quite well, shouldn't I get a reward?"
"What? What kind of reward do you want?"
Gu Sinian stared intently at Su Ying's lips, licked his lips, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
His hand unconsciously caressed Su Ying's lips, "I want..." and he kissed her directly...
The sudden kiss caught Su Ying off guard. Since it was offered to her, she might as well enjoy it.
She responded passionately to Gu Sinian's kiss; since they became a couple, kissing had become a trivial matter for them...
Between breaths, Gu Sinian's lips moved to his neck, then lower and lower, his eyes glazed over with passion, "Call me A-Nian, didn't you say it so naturally today?"
"Why aren't you calling anymore? I want to hear it."
Su Ying pushed the man away in shame, straightened her clothes, and thought that Gu Sinian was getting more and more outrageous, constantly starting fires and never taking responsibility for putting them out.
Every time he left her hanging in mid-air, neither here nor there, Gu Sinian would do other things besides kissing her, making her feel restless and unbearable, but he would never take responsibility for extinguishing her desires. Every time, Su Ying would get angry and push him away.
"Hurry home, I have to go back to the educated youth settlement too."
Gu Sinian lifted Su Ying's chin, "I'm discussing such a serious topic with you, don't change the subject."
“If you don’t call me ‘A-Nian’ today, I’m not going back, and you won’t be able to go back to the educated youth settlement either.”
"The most shameless of all."
"I'm just that shameless, are you going to yell or not?"
Su Ying had no choice but to whisper "A-Nian" in a voice barely above a whisper, and then nothing more...
"I can't hear you. You ate a lot of meat for dinner, you shouldn't be speaking so weakly."
Su Ying gritted her teeth and shouted, "A-Nian!"
This time, Gu Sinian nodded with great satisfaction, gave her a light kiss, and took Su Ying's hand.
“Let’s go out. I’ll take you back to the educated youth settlement. We need to get up early tomorrow to pick peaches on the mountain. I’ll come pick you up in the morning.”
Su Ying declined the man's offer; she didn't want to be the center of attention so early in the morning.
She didn't want to live under the scrutiny of others before marriage. She just wanted to wait until next month, when the red brick house was finished, and then quickly marry Gu Sinian and live her own little life. She didn't want to be treated like a monkey and watched by others.
"No need. Didn't we already agree to meet on the mountain? Comrade Sun and Sister Cui'e are also waiting for us on the mountain. I don't want to make an exception, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."
"The moment your face appears, it becomes the focus of the entire room. Tell me, why do you, a grown man, need to be so good-looking?"
He couldn't agree with that, because in his eyes, Su Ying was the dazzling existence, an unattainable star.
He desperately took on missions just to climb higher and be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, wanting only to bring the distance between them closer and closer.
Gu Sinian pinched her cheek in a fit of pique, "You have no idea how popular you are. Your appearance will cause a sensation throughout the entire place."
