Gu Yuheng, who had just left the supermarket, was unaware of the girls' gossip about him after he left.
He walked back the way he came, looking at the scenery in the distance.
In early autumn, the maple forest in Brocade Valley stole a piece of cloud from the horizon, turning it a fiery red. Meanwhile, the sunset clouds on the horizon had darkened, tinged with a hint of indigo.
Dusk fell.
Gu Yuheng returned home before the last rays of sunlight faded.
The supermarket is not far from the Lin Family Manor, but it still takes quite a bit of time to go there and back.
When Gu Yuheng returned, Lin Chuxia was barefoot on the floor, wiping her hair.
She didn't turn around when she heard the door open, but the next moment, a pair of hands appeared around her waist.
"Why are you barefoot?" Gu Yuheng carried her to the bed, then took the towel from her hand and naturally began to dry her hair.
The two were standing close together, and Lin Chuxia sensed something in his pocket. She casually asked, "What's in your pocket? Food?"
This thing isn't edible, but you can use it to enjoy delicious food. Gu Yuheng lowered his eyes and smiled, asking her, "Hungry?"
That's true, she must have used up a lot of energy this afternoon, so it's normal for her to be hungry.
"Sorry, I forgot about that and didn't buy you any food."
"Hmm? You went out to buy something?"
"Yes, I went to the supermarket."
"What did you buy?"
"It's in my pocket. If you're curious, look for it yourself." Gu Yuheng opened his arms, gesturing for her to take it out herself.
Lin Chuxia glanced at him thoughtfully, then buried her head in his pocket, muttering as she did so, "What is this thing? It's so amazing..."
The rest of the sentence stopped abruptly when the speaker saw what was in his hand.
"Don't tell me you went out just to buy this?"
"Otherwise what?" Gu Yuheng looked back at her with an expression that said, "If I don't buy this, what should I buy?" and said with a smile, "This is all we need right now."
"You..." Lin Chuxia looked at him, then at the box in her hand, "Aren't you going back tomorrow? Why did you buy this?"
Gu Yuheng wrapped a towel around her head and gently dried her hair at her temples. The girl's delicate face, wrapped in the clean white towel, looked exceptionally charming.
A hint of amusement flickered in Gu Yuheng's deep eyes as he said slowly, "You know I'm going back to Jincheng tomorrow, so you can't expect me to be a sheep tonight, can you?"
Before Lin Chuxia could reply, Gu Yuheng's fingertip slid down to her crimson lips and rubbed them lightly twice.
The girl's skin, which had just been bathed, looked so delicate and tender that it seemed as if you could squeeze water out of it. It was incredibly tempting.
Gu Yuheng's eyes were deep as he looked at her and said, word by word, "Listen carefully, I'm not going to be a sheep, I'm a wolf." He wanted to eat meat.
Perhaps it was because Gu Yuheng's gaze was too intense, Lin Chuxia couldn't help but blush, looked away and muttered softly, "...You just finished eating, and my back is still sore..."
Upon hearing this, a smile flashed across Gu Yuheng's dark eyes. He placed his hands on her waist and gently squeezed it. "It's okay. I'll be gentle and won't hurt you... Besides, you need to exercise more."
Lin Chuxia covered her face, collapsed onto the brocade quilt beside her, and asked with a look of utter despair, "When you went to buy this thing, did no one see you?"
Gu Yuheng wouldn't have tried to hide anything while shopping; he most likely only bought these two boxes. The image was too surreal… she couldn't even imagine it.
"Don't worry, there was no one in the supermarket when I went there." Actually, there were people there, but after glancing at the girl who wished she could bury herself completely in the blankets, Gu Yuheng told a white lie, "There was only one cashier lady."
"That's good..." Lin Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, lifted her head from under the covers, but then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked nervously, "By the way, that old lady probably doesn't know you, right?"
"I didn't pay attention." Gu Yuheng thought carefully for a moment and realized that he couldn't remember what the person who paid him at the cashier looked like. He only remembered that she was a woman... So, he felt even less guilty about making things up. "Judging from her reaction at the time, she probably didn't recognize me."
As he spoke, Gu Yuheng chuckled softly again: "I'm not some big star, how could everyone possibly know me?"
Lin Chuxia glanced at him expressionlessly: You may not be a big star, but your fame is much higher than that of a big star.
However, the people of Brocade Valley don't pay much attention to the news, and Gu Yuheng himself doesn't like to appear on television. Furthermore, when he and she are in Brocade Valley, they rarely go out, so it's not surprising that the people in the valley don't recognize her.
Thinking it over, Lin Chuxia finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
However, just as she felt relieved, Gu Yuheng's voice rang out again—
"However, I did run into someone who recognized me when I went out a couple of days ago. He was an older man who greeted me warmly when he saw me from afar and asked if I was the husband of the Lin family girl." As Gu Yuheng said this, the smile in his eyes almost materialized.
It's obvious he was in a great mood at the time.
And that was indeed the case. Because of the way the uncle addressed him, Gu Yuheng chatted with him for quite a while in a good mood.
Lin Chuxia didn't understand where his good mood came from, and asked him in confusion, "Are you so happy that someone knows you?"
“Of course.” At this moment, Gu Yuheng’s eyes were sparkling, as if something radiant was shining within them. “I like this identity.”
He wasn't the president of the Gu Group, nor was he the richest man in China; he was simply her husband.
Lin Chuxia was stunned.
After a while, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl upwards.
Suddenly realizing that she looked a little silly, Lin Chuxia turned her head away, turned her back to him, and pinched her cheek hard before smiling and saying, "Alright, considering that you're leaving tomorrow, I'll reluctantly allow you to... well, you know, tonight."
"Thank you for your blessing, little fairy." Gu Yuheng rested his chin on his hand and looked at her with a smile.
Lin Chuxia felt her face was still a little hot, so she turned around and kicked the person next to her, putting on a serious expression: "Let's go, it's getting late, let's go to the kitchen and see if we need any help."
After saying that, Lin Chuxia got out of bed, put on her shoes, and left the room.
Yes, she needs to go outside and get some fresh air to cool off.
...
Dinner was lavish, as Gu Yuheng was leaving the next day, and Grandpa and Grandma Lin wanted to put all the best things on the table.
After dinner, everyone chatted and relaxed in the courtyard for a while before going back to their houses.
