Yu Mingxiang took a deep breath.
She lived in the front and back yards for almost a month, and apart from helping Gu Guanhai add things to his house before, she never easily stepped into his house.
But this time, she's here to confront him.
Yu Mingxiang pushed open the door and entered, but the next second...
She was stunned when she saw Gu Guanhai packing his luggage in the room.
"you……"
She stammered, "What is this...?"
Gu Guanhai turned to look at her.
"I'm leaving."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang said: ...
The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
The rumors started because they lived under the same roof, and once Gu Guanhai left, the rumors disappeared on their own.
Her carefully prepared words naturally made it unnecessary to continue, but...
For some reason, Yu Mingxiang felt a strange sense of loss.
"hehe."
She forced a smile and said, "You still have black market business to attend to. You've been staying at home for so long, it's really time for you to go."
Gu Guanhai heard this: ...
silence.
Remembering the help he had given her family during this time, Yu Mingxiang stepped forward and said, "Let me help you pack your things!"
However, as soon as she reached out her hand, Gu Guanhai grabbed her wrist.
A burning sensation came from her wrist, and Yu Mingxiang looked up in a panic.
Their eyes met.
Gu Guanhai looked intently at her and said, "There's no question of whether I should or shouldn't leave. I'm leaving only because I'm afraid you'll kick me out."
His gaze was as fiery as fire.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
My heart was instantly filled with panic.
She came to him intending to confront him, but...
"I didn't mean to get rid of you, I just..."
She just wanted to talk things out with him, but...
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Guanhai interrupted her.
"I was just kidding."
Gu Guanhai was afraid she might say something inappropriate, so he released her hand at the right moment and said in a relaxed manner, "You're right, I did leave because of the black market. Speaking of which, this matter is related to you. Didn't you donate money to the research institute before you went to the countryside?"
The topic shifted so quickly that Yu Mingxiang was a little confused.
She looked puzzled. "Huh?"
Seeing that he had successfully diverted her attention, Gu Guanhai breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.
"The research institute placed a large order for supplies with me. Now that the supplies have been procured, I need to go back and hand them over."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang said: ...
They stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Isn't the black market something that can't be done in the open? How come you're doing business with research institutes?"
In her eyes, the research institute was a legitimate state-owned institution, and even if it needed to raise supplies, it shouldn't have resorted to black market channels...
"hehe!"
Gu Guanhai chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If it exists, it has a reason. Otherwise, do you really think the authorities can't shut down the black market?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
I was deeply shocked.
But before she could think any further, Gu Guanhai pushed her toward the door, saying, "Alright, Weiguo and the others will be off work soon. I'll pack my own luggage. You go and cook!"
