What should we do now?
I pondered for a moment, but I was still clueless; my mind was a bit of a mess.
One thing is certain: she would never bow down or curry favor with Yang Qiuxia and Zhang Xiuhong.
But this would put Gu Chengfeng in a difficult position.
He was only 25 years old, and at such a young age he became the regimental commander. His future was limitless.
If her career is affected, she will never forgive herself for the rest of her life!
She considered giving up, taking advantage of the fact that they could still be separated before getting the marriage certificate.
But then he thought about it again. Their affair had caused quite a stir, and if it didn't work out in the end, it would be even more difficult for Gu Chengfeng to find a wife in the future.
Oh well, it's just a minor setback.
She will find a way to make it up to Gu Chengfeng.
Right now, we need to focus on her money-making plans.
"Gu Chengfeng, I..."
The rest was still stuck in her throat when she was ruthlessly interrupted by someone.
"Enough!" Gu Chengfeng's face was very ugly, his eyes were cold and sinister, and he vaguely guessed what she wanted to say.
His voice became incredibly hoarse: "If you want to talk about breaking up, then I advise you not to even think about it."
"What?"
Shen Sisi's eyes were filled with great confusion, then she finally came to her senses and poked him angrily with her finger: "What are you thinking about!"
"Then you are..."
"I mean, I want you to help me kill a chicken, and once the soup is simmering, you can come with me to buy something."
Gu Chengfeng tilted his head slightly and said, almost in a whisper, "That's it?"
She was both amused and exasperated: "Of course, what else did you expect me to say?"
His emotions were fluctuating, and his voice was tinged with uncertainty: "I thought, I thought you..."
"Did you think I was going to leave you and break off the engagement?" Shen Sisi asked, feigning anger.
Gu Chengfeng remained silent, his heavy breathing slightly labored, a hint of guilt in his voice as if he had been caught out.
This was the first time she'd seen Gu Chengfeng so nervous, and she chuckled, her eyelashes fluttering playfully. "Alright, just kidding. Go help kill the chickens..."
Hearing that she didn't want to break up, Gu Chengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and happily grabbed the chicken and put it into the kitchen.
Soon, a chicken's scream rang out from inside.
Gu Chengfeng boiled water to scald the chicken's feathers, quickly cleaned the feathers, rinsed it twice with clean water, and then put it on the cutting board.
Hearing the sound of chopping meat, Chen Sisi was worried about his injury and rushed to the kitchen.
As soon as I entered, I saw Gu Chengfeng holding a knife with his uninjured left hand and chopping the chicken into pieces of moderate size.
He was turned to the side, his arms strong and powerful, his muscles slightly bulging. She even had the illusion that he was more agile in holding the knife with his left hand.
"Let me do it, don't reopen the wound."
Just as Chen Sisi was about to take over, Gu Chengfeng said it wasn't necessary; it was just chopping up a chicken, and he wasn't that fragile.
After a moment of reflection, he realized that the chicken was indeed chopping quite easily. He then turned around, lit a fire, heated the wok, and stir-fried the chicken until the skin was slightly golden and oily before putting the chicken into the casserole.
Add water, ginger slices, and a little salt. Once the soup boils, simmer it over the lowest heat.
Whether it was from exhaustion or the cramped kitchen, Chen Sisi was sweating profusely, with damp strands of hair clinging to her cheeks.
In that tiny space, Gu Chengfeng was very close to her, and almost all his breath was taken away by the fragrance emanating from Shen Sisi.
Watching her bustling around with her face flushed, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality.
The happiness feels too real...
Gu Chengfeng leaned lazily against the stove, one leg on the ground, his fingers unconsciously reaching out to wipe the sweat from her face.
While Shen Sisi was busy tending to the fire, she suddenly paused slightly, and a blush immediately spread across her face.
Feeling the rough fingertips gently caressing her face, she seemed to hear her own heartbeat.
Those deep, burning eyes stared at her silently, as if trying to draw her in...
Perhaps it was because the fire in the stove was too strong, or perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too ambiguous, but Chen Sisi felt that the air around her was too hot.
Just then, a small head suddenly peeked in, its big, curious eyes twinkling as it secretly chuckled.
Dad is touching Mom's face!
Just like when her mother touches her face, it's so loving...
Seeing Niu Niu's mischievous little head and her beautiful starry eyes, Gu Chengfeng let go of her hand and coughed twice in a fluster: "Um... you had sweat on your face just now."
She nodded and fled from his side as if her life depended on it, quickly picking up Niu Niu.
"What's wrong, my sweetie?"
Niu Niu smacked her lips and looked at the bubbling soup pot: "The meat smells so good, Niu Niu is hungry."
Sisi patiently told her, "You have to wait a little longer, the chicken isn't cooked yet. Mommy will cook you some egg noodles first, okay?"
Niu Niu nodded obediently: "Egg noodles, smells delicious!"
At this moment, Gu Chengfeng also walked over and opened his arms to her: "Give me the child, and you can focus on cooking."
Chen Sisi moved the little soft and cuddly girl in her arms to Gu Chengfeng's arms.
The child has gained some weight recently, making her a bit prickly to hold, but Gu Chengfeng held her with ease, lifting her up with one hand as if she were a kitten.
Still worried, Chen Sisi reminded Niu Niu again, "Don't touch the wound on your father's shoulder."
Niu Niu obediently moved her little hand away, then lowered her head and leaned close to Gu Chengfeng's right shoulder, her little face puffed out as she blew air into him.
"Daddy, let me blow on it for you, then it won't hurt anymore."
Gu Chengfeng's heart was almost melting. He had truly experienced the benefits of having a daughter; she was indeed a sweet and considerate little girl.
"Thank you, Niu Niu, Daddy's pain is gone..."
Soon, Chen Sisi finished making the noodles.
After feeding Niu Niu, she asked Hei Zi to watch the fire on the stove, and then took Gu Chengfeng and the child out the door.
Following the address given by Jiang Hongmei, they arrived at Pier 9.
Gu Chengfeng followed behind, and when he saw that their destination was the dock, his brows furrowed slightly.
Lost in thought, she remained oblivious, carrying the child as she continued forward.
Looking at the bustling dock, she randomly grabbed a man who had finished unloading cargo and asked, "Brother, is Brother Dao here?"
The older brother pointed to the big, fat man directing people to unload cargo on the side of the cargo ship: "That's him."
After thanking his elder brother, Chen Sisi led Gu Chengfeng to stand behind Brother Dao, under the scrutiny of the crowd.
"Brother Dao!"
Wang Xiaodao was busy when he suddenly heard a soft, delicate voice, and he immediately perked up.
Looking back, I saw a young married woman with fair skin and red lips; she was truly beautiful.
"You were looking for me..."
He was all smiles, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; yet, one could sense a murderous aura emanating from him.
