"Because you care about me, right?" Gu Yibei asked again.
Feeling the hands encircling his waist tighten slightly, Ji Zhinan nodded.
"Um."
Having received the answer he wanted to hear, Gu Yibei grinned, as happy as a child.
Ji Zhinan was even more embarrassed and tried to run away while shrinking his neck.
However, Gu Yibei didn't give her a chance to escape. He put his hands on her shoulders, lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.
Ji Zhinan subconsciously closed her eyes, and then felt a large hand on her head, but it affectionately ruffled her soft hair and replied in a good mood.
"Don't worry, she likes you a lot."
"But..." Judging from Madam Gu's attitude towards him, she didn't seem to like him much.
"She's testing you. If she doesn't like that you don't go for a walk after dinner, she should block me and make me break up with you."
Just now at the dinner table, Madam Gu did indeed test Ji Zhinan.
Madam Gu disliked those pretentious, two-faced women; they were the most cunning and difficult to guard against.
She can accept that her future daughter-in-law is not a noblewoman or a lady from a prestigious family, but she absolutely cannot accept a scheming woman entering her Gu family.
Today, while deliberately making things difficult at the dinner table, Madam Gu was carefully observing Ji Zhinan. Seeing that Ji Zhinan did not act coy or try to please her in the face of her difficulties, Madam Gu was quite satisfied with Ji Zhinan.
Gu Yibei lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers: "I like the real you. Just be yourself."
Ji Zhinan smiled, pursing his lips.
………
The next morning, Madam Gu got up early and trained in the back garden in her sportswear. Ji Zhinan bumped into her when he returned from his morning run.
"Madam, it seems that's not how the teacher taught it."
“Madam, you have no strength at all, how could you possibly harm anyone?”
"lady……"
Madam Gu punched him, while the maid offered various suggestions from the side.
After a while, Madam Gu inevitably started to get a little impatient with the situation.
"Nonsense, that's how the teacher taught us." Madam Gu felt she had hit the target quite well.
"lady……"
The maid standing next to her was almost in tears.
My wife has recently become obsessed with Chinese kung fu, so we hired a special teacher to teach her when we were in Y country. Although she has been learning for a while, she is too slow to grasp the techniques. Her punches are weak and powerless, with no lethality whatsoever.
"The five most commonly used straight punches in sports are the straight punch, the swing punch, the hook punch, the chop punch, and the whip punch. Taking the left straight punch as an example, stand in a left stance, push off the ground slightly with your right hand, shift your body center slightly to your left foot, turn your shoulder at the same time, and punch straight forward with your left fist, which is effective for the whole body. Your right fist will naturally return to your chin."
Upon hearing the sound, Madam Gu and the maid turned around and saw Ji Zhinan walking over.
Because she was going for a morning run, Ji Zhinan dressed very simply, in a gray tracksuit and sneakers. She had only brushed her teeth and hadn't washed her face or put on makeup. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail.
Because she had just finished running, her cheeks were still slightly flushed, which made her look the most authentic.
Madam Gu glanced at her in surprise: "You know martial arts?"
"I wouldn't say I know how." Ji Zhinan smiled and stepped forward. "I watched from the side for a while. Madam, you are actually very smart, but there are a few things you don't understand, which is why you didn't show your best side."
These words greatly pleased Madam Gu, and her expression towards Ji Zhinan softened considerably.
