"Let's go. Take me home."
"Okay." Gu Sinian took Su Ying's hand and walked towards the educated youth settlement.
After walking only a short distance, Su Ying's stomach started growling, and the rumbling sound amused Gu Sinian.
His wife is so cute, even when she's hungry she's adorable. "Hungry?"
"Nonsense. Would it make a sound if it wasn't hungry?"
"sorry."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"They treated you so badly the first time you came to my house for dinner."
Su Ying didn't take it to heart at all, let alone feel sad. "Relationships between people depend on fate. I'm not a hundred-dollar bill, how can I guarantee that everyone will like me?"
Gu Sinian was amused by her words. He had been overthinking it; the little girl hadn't taken those harsh words to heart at all.
The argument at the dinner table and the hurtful things they said sounded jarring to him; it must have made the person involved feel even worse.
He kept a close eye on the little girl's emotions, and of course, he also paid attention to whether she had eaten anything.
She only drank a bowl of chicken soup and didn't touch anything else... It's normal for her to be hungry now.
Chicken soup doesn't keep you full for long, so the fact that my stomach is only starting to rumble after a bowl of chicken soup is quite impressive.
He was so angry today that he didn't eat anything, except for a bowl of chicken soup like the little girl. Now he's starving.
Seeing the man rubbing his stomach, Su Ying knew he must be hungry too. She hadn't eaten much earlier, and neither had Gu Sinian.
After all, how can anyone eat when they're being targeted like this?
She cautiously looked around at her surroundings. It was lunchtime, and there wasn't a single pedestrian on the road. Suddenly, Su Ying conjured up two large meat buns out of thin air.
She put one in her own mouth and another in the man's mouth, saying, "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold. You didn't eat much just now, and Ms. Li Yaxian wouldn't let go of you, asking all sorts of questions, just to annoy you."
Gu Sinian took a bite of the steaming hot bun. It was his handmade bun, which he had made that afternoon and was still warm.
The sheer power of the space amazed him once again; the things his mother-in-law had left for the little girl were truly astonishing.
"Your portable space is truly amazing. Not only can you retrieve things remotely, but people can also live inside it. As long as there are enough supplies, it's fine to stay inside for a year or two. With this thing in military campaigns, you'll be invincible and no one can match you."
Su Ying spread her hands, looking helpless. "Unfortunately, there's only one space, and it's a keepsake left to me by my mother. It's bound to me with a blood oath, so you have no chance. There's only one like it in the world, and you won't find another one. The ideas in your mind are impossible to realize."
"I was just saying it to satisfy my craving. Such a magical treasure, there is only one in the world, which is already amazing. How can we expect there to be a second one?"
Knowing that there is only one in the world, and that there is no second one, it is rare precisely because it is so magical.
If everyone had one, the world would be in chaos.
After Su Ying finished eating one steamed bun, she took out two more from her spatial storage. She ate one herself and gave the other to the man.
The man pretended to be angry as he took the large meat bun and criticized, "Taking a bun so openly, didn't I tell you to be more careful? What if someone sees you?"
"If someone dares to take something out of thin air on the street, they'll be in big trouble if they're seen by someone with ulterior motives."
While munching on a steamed bun, Su Ying kept chattering, "You're just too tense and too cautious. You're only twenty-two years old, but you live like an old man, worrying about everything. Can you even keep up with all that worrying?"
"There wasn't a single pedestrian on the road, so I dared to take out a steamed bun from my space and eat it. I'm not stupid; I know how to protect myself."
"I've always known that this space is no ordinary object. I understand the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime, and I wouldn't risk my life. Don't worry."
Su Ying reached out a hand to smooth down Gu Sinian's furrowed brow, which was furrowed from overthinking.
"The Gu family's situation is too complicated. This situation has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it."
"Although you haven't mentioned a word about the second branch of the Gu family, I know you hate them."
"After today's meal, I've come to understand the complicated relationships within the Gu family. The second branch of the family has elderly parents and young children, yet they show you absolutely no respect."
"I don't know what happened between you two, and I don't know how to avoid it. Can you tell me about the second branch of the Gu family? I want to know more about you."
“I didn’t want to ask too many questions before, because of my awkward position. But it’s different now. We are a legally married couple, and I have the right to know everything about the Gu family.”
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. I was raised by my grandparents. I've been with them since I was little, going to all sorts of places. I've seen it all."
"Don't worry too much, don't be picky and say only half of what you mean. What is it that's weighing on your mind, making you so uneasy and unhappy?"
Gu Sinian paused, then stopped abruptly, carefully examining Su Ying's face.
The young girl is Su Mubai's granddaughter, from one of the most prestigious and wealthy families in Shanghai.
She's seen it all; this little thing of his is no big deal to her.
Thirteen years ago, the little girl calmly rescued him from the bottom of the cliff without hesitation. Even though his leg was broken and he was bleeding so much, she didn't show the slightest bit of fear.
She wasn't a coward; he was overthinking things. He always wanted to protect her silently, but unaware of the truth, how could she protect herself when the second wife reached out to her?
The hand hidden behind his back remained elusive, and despite years of planning with his grandfather, there were still no results, which showed just how deeply the person was hiding.
