Qin Huai turned his head and saw that not only Qiao Qiqi was looking around, but also the men working in the fields, whose eyes kept glancing at Qiao Qiqi.
She was wearing a light pink shirt with a few small flowers on the collar, which made her fair face look even more delicate.
Although she was wearing a sun hat, her naturally delicate skin was already rosy from the sun, making her look very endearing.
Qiao Qiqi was wearing a white skirt with small floral print, which Lin Chunying had made for her a few days ago. It was made of gauze and reached below her calves, making it extremely cool and comfortable to wear.
The umbrella-shaped skirt made her waist look even slimmer, and as she walked, the skirt swayed in the wind, creating a captivating arc.
Qin Huai's face darkened instantly upon seeing this!
He immediately dropped what he was holding, quickly walked up to Qiao Qiqi, and under her surprised gaze, asked with a dark face, "Who sent you? Why aren't you at home? What are you doing in the fields? Go back now!"
Qiao Qiqi opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she met Qin Huai's dark face.
This was the first time she had seen Qin Huai's face look so grim.
Even if I forced myself on him that night, this man wasn't this fierce!
Qiao Qiqi was a little confused. After thinking back and confirming that she hadn't offended him, she assumed that he had been upset by someone else.
So she gently comforted him, "Qin Huai, I brought you water because the sun was too strong. I've made it..."
Just as she was about to tell him that her water was made with sugar, Qin Huai didn't give her a chance to speak and continued with a dark face, "I'm not thirsty! You should go back now!"
"Qin Huai, are you worried that the weather is too hot and you're afraid I'll get sunburned? I'm not afraid of the sun!" Qiao Qiqi quickly understood what Qin Huai meant.
Knowing that this man must be feeling sorry for her, she felt a surge of happiness.
Seeing that his head was covered in sweat, Qiao Qiqi didn't mind at all. She grabbed her sleeve and raised her hand to wipe his sweat.
"Look at you, all sweaty! I bought you a sun hat but you won't wear it. You have to wear it tomorrow, or you'll get so tanned you'll look like a lump of coal, and I might leave you!"
She was just joking when she said that. She had made a similar joke before at home when she asked Qin Huai to wear a hat and he refused.
Qin Huai looked at her with dissatisfaction, a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Qiao Qiqi liked his desire for something but his inability to express it.
She thought that after she said that, he would act the same as before, but to her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Huai's face darkened even more, and even his voice became cold.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to go back quickly?"
Qiao Qiqi had been trying to win him over for a long time, only to be met with even more disdain in return. She immediately lost her temper.
"Why are you suddenly getting angry with me?!" Her gaze subconsciously swept in the direction Qin Huai had come from. Only Zhang Qing was there. Although people could hide in the cornfield, Qiao Qiqi knew that men and women were working separately during the autumn harvest, so there couldn't be any women here.
If Qiao Qiqi hadn't confirmed this, she would have almost suspected that Qin Huai was hiding a woman here, and that she had come to disturb his good time, which was why he was so disgusted with her.
Although this possibility was ruled out, Qiao Qiqi was still very angry that she had been scolded for no reason.
"I came to bring you water under the scorching sun, and instead of thanking me, you even dared to swore at me! Someone as ungrateful as you should die of thirst!"
Qiao Qiqi was annoyed, but she still shoved the thermos and cucumber in her hands into his arms.
Just as they were about to turn and leave, a teasing voice suddenly came from the field: "Look everyone, newlyweds are so different! The new bride knows how to take care of people. She even came to the field to personally bring water. We married people who have been married for several years are so envious!"
Qiao Qiqi scoffed inwardly: Envy my ass, they're actually disgusted by it.
She increasingly felt that she shouldn't have felt sorry for this ungrateful man!
She was about to turn and leave, but when she saw Qin Huai frown, Qiao Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she stopped in her tracks.
She thought to herself: If Qin Huai apologized to her now and explained why she was angry, she could still forgive him. After all, Qin Huai had always been good to her and had given her all the money he earned. She could forgive him for those reasons.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi felt a little better.
But to her surprise, the man's next words were: "Go back quickly and don't come back again."
Qiao Qiqi suddenly frowned.
Seeing that Qin Huai was still looking at her coldly, her anger flared up instantly. She pointed at his nose and said, "Fine, you said it yourself, so don't regret it!"
With a cold snort, Qiao Qiqi turned and left.
After taking a few steps, I suddenly saw several figures appearing at the edge of the field diagonally in front of me. One of them, a yellow figure, looked very familiar.
Just as Qiao Qiqi stopped to take a closer look, the woman also saw her and immediately ran towards her with a look of surprise.
"Qiao Qiqi, I've finally met you!"
The person rushing towards Qiao Qiqi was none other than Fang Ke from Beijing.
Qiao Qiqi had given up hope, but seeing that she had finally met him, she could only suppress the urge to leave, and stood there smiling, saying, "It's nice to see you again."
As they were talking, the others came up behind them.
One of the men, who was around 50 years old, was the man who was injured in town yesterday, and was also Director Sun, whom Fang Ke mentioned.
Sun Shengli turned his head and asked Fang Ke, "Do you know him?"
Only then could he tiptoe and whisper something in the other person's ear.
A knowing glint flashed in Sun Shengli's eyes. He smiled and looked in Qiao Qiqi's direction, his gaze lingering on her dress. He asked meaningfully, "You also work in the fields? Can you do your job well wearing a dress?"
Today is actually the first day that Qiao Qiqi has worn a skirt since she transmigrated into the book. Usually, she is either busy at home or going to town to buy fruit. It is inconvenient to wear a skirt while riding a bicycle, so she has never had the chance to wear one.
So she took advantage of the opportunity to wear it today, and seeing that the other person had misunderstood, she was about to explain—
Qin Huai suddenly stepped forward, half of his body blocking her way, and explained on her behalf: "Boss, this is my wife. She came to bring me water. She's not in good health and can't do heavy work."
Sun Shengli's gaze fell on the man's handsome face, and he immediately laughed, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already protecting him? You're a good young man, responsible, and you look like someone who loves his wife."
Qin Huai pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Sun Shengli's gaze fell on Qiao Qiqi again. Seeing that her face was flushed and her body was thin and frail, he believed Qin Huai's words.
