Xie Lan thought that this time, the two of them would only need to run for a short while before finishing.
The remaining time can be used to go out for a meal, nurture relationships, or something similar.
But who would have thought that Shen Zhihuan could run so fast?
She circled the alley several times, running for more than ten kilometers without stopping.
What Xie Lanshen didn't know was that Shen Zhihuan used to love night running. In her previous life, she loved training with the army and had participated in many marathon races.
From childhood to adulthood, this has always been her best way to vent her emotions.
Whenever she felt wronged or treated unfairly by Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan, she would run away on the mountain to clear her mind.
Running not only exercises her body, but also brings her inner peace; she truly loves this sport.
Xie Lanshen really didn't expect Shen Zhihuan to be so amazing. Her physical fitness was even better than that of many new recruits, which somewhat refreshed his understanding.
But looking at Shen Zhihuan's focused expression and her sparkling eyes in the sunset, he felt that she was just as beautiful.
Xie Lan's deep eyes softened as he stood up and followed behind Shen Zhihuan, exchanging a smile with her.
"I'm not tired. Since you like running, I'll go with you."
-
A large courtyard.
Shen Ling, who rarely received support from Wang Yulian, became incredibly arrogant, practically wanting to walk sideways around the Gu family.
As soon as Gu Yuchuan returned, she couldn't wait to cling to him, wrapping her arms around him tightly as if she had no bones.
"Honey, since it's still early, why don't you come with me to buy some fruit?"
Seeing that Gu Yuchuan was frowning as he listened, Shen Ling was afraid that he would not agree, so she brought out her trump card.
"Eating more fruit is good for your health, so that your child can grow tall and strong."
Gu Yuchuan thought she was talking about Lele, and since it involved his precious son, his expression softened a little.
He is usually busy with his business and doesn't take good care of his family, often overlooking these small details.
It seems that Shen Ling isn't very bright.
But this stepmother did a pretty good job, knowing how to take good care of Lele.
Gu Yuchuan loosened his tie, and only after thinking about this did he finally speak:
"What kind of fruit do you want to buy? I'll give you the money, you can take it and buy it yourself..."
"That won't do!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ling pouted and glared at him, forcefully interrupting him.
“My baby said that he will only eat fruit that his dad buys with him.”
As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly and touched her belly.
Gu Yuchuan then realized that he had misunderstood, and the little bit of goodwill he had finally developed vanished instantly.
Shen Ling's affected and coy manner was utterly repulsive to him.
Is this woman brain-dead?!
Since they got married, they've only slept together once.
It was still Shen Ling's deliberate scheme.
How could she possibly be pregnant so quickly!
Tong Xinyue stood inside the door, watching helplessly as Shen Ling clung to the man who should have been hers, acting all flirtatious. She was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.
These two are already troublesome enough, and then there's Wang Yulian in the kitchen, constantly rolling her eyes and giving you attitude.
Gu Yuchuan suddenly felt a headache coming on. If he had known things would turn out this way, he would never have married Shen Ling in the first place.
These three women are just waiting for him to torment them; he's had enough!
If Gu Yuchuan had to choose between Shen Ling and Tong Xinyue, he would definitely prefer his cousin.
Unfortunately, their identities meant they could never be together openly in this lifetime.
Wang Yulian is very concerned about her image and always considers herself a noble city dweller, unlike those from the countryside who would do anything without any moral boundaries.
She would never allow a mistress to enter her home, and she could not accept that her son's true love was actually his "cousin".
If this gets out, it will ruin their reputation. Not only Wang Yulian, but the Gu family can't afford to lose face like this!
Gu Yuchuan felt extremely irritated just thinking about it.
He readily agreed to go out with Shen Ling to buy fruit, hoping to temporarily escape the oppressive environment at home.
This made Shen Ling extremely happy.
She deliberately gave Tong Xinyue a provocative look, then happily ran back to her room.
"Honey, wait for me a moment, I'll go back and change my clothes."
"It's rare that you have time to go out with me, so I have to dress up nicely and make you look good in front of the neighbors."
Little did they know that the Gu family had already lost all face because of her in the tenement.
Gu Yuchuan didn't care what Shen Ling wore.
If they weren't still married, he would love for her to stay far away from him.
The two finally finished getting ready and were about to leave.
They happened to run into Shen Zhihuan and Xie Lanshen returning from their run.
Because of the hot weather, Shen Zhihuan took off her coat.
When the wind blew, her fair skin revealed a pinkish hue, like a ripe peach, bright and beautiful.
The two were standing very close, and as she spoke, she looked up and smiled at Xie Lanshen.
Her beautiful eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, and unlike her usual scholarly and aloof demeanor, Chen Zhihuan's smile was exceptionally sweet.
Such a beautiful scene can't help but bring joy to anyone who sees it.
When Gu Yuchuan caught a glimpse of this scene, he was momentarily stunned, feeling deeply amazed.
To be honest, the Gu family and the Shen family are not a good match in terms of social status.
The reason he agreed to marry Shen Ling in the first place was not only because he thought she was easy to control.
