Gu Qichen just looked out the window, without saying a word.
It was as if he hadn’t heard the sentence at all.
Xia Yangyang felt very embarrassed.
She understood Gu Qichen’s haughty personality in front of others.
So she helped Gu Qichen explain, “He didn’t mean it that way, that’s just the way he is naturally, Sister Xiaomei, don’t take it to heart.”
Gu Qichen glanced at Xia YangYang.
After a little while, they arrived at Lai Shui Town.
Today, Lai Shui Town was particularly bustling.
Although the town was remote, the dragon boat race here was very famous.
People from other cities even traveled long distances to come and watch.
The dragon boat race was held on the Lai Shui River.
The river was crystal clear and connected to the Yangtze River.
The dragon boat race hadn’t started yet, but the banks of Lai Shui River were already crowded with people.
Xia Yangyang was a little upset, “There are so many people already, it looks like we won’t be able to find good spots.”
However, Han Xiaomei said, “I know a place, it has a good view and fewer people.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t expect that Han Xiaomei was taking them to the section of the riverbank where the dragon boat race started.
The location was indeed excellent, so much so that they could see the faces of the dragon boat racers clearly.
The reason why there were fewer people here was that it had been cordoned off because a section of the riverbank had collapsed and had not been repaired yet.
Standing here to watch the dragon boat race, when it got crowded, it would be easy to fall into the water.
Despite this, there were still some people here, though not many.
Han Xiaomei said, “This is the best spot, but you all need to be careful later on.
Due to the damaged fence, it’s easy to fall into the water.”
Xia Yangyang was extremely excited.
She immediately ran to the closest spot and shouted happily with the crowd.
Then she turned her head and said to Gu Qichen, “Ah Chen, look at the bodies of those guys, they all have six-pack abs.”
Gu Qichen’s expression darkened, “Are they that good-looking?”
Xia Yangyang stuck out her tongue teasingly, “Don’t be so stingy, I’m just looking, I can’t touch them.”
This woman even wants to touch them?
Gu Qichen reached out to squeeze Xia Yangyang’s plump cheeks, “No more watching, let’s go home.”
Xia Yangyang quickly hugged Gu Qichen’s hand and begged for mercy, “I was wrong, isn’t it okay that I was wrong? I just want to watch the race.”
Only then did Gu Qichen let go of his hand.
Meanwhile, Han Xiaomei was standing not far away from them, watching their sweet banter.
They looked like a couple deeply in love, making her envious.
Xia Yangyang, who had been pampered since she was young, always found everything exciting when she came to the countryside. Even the chicks and ducklings were like the newest toys to her.
She claimed she loved the countryside for its comfort and peace.
But that was because she didn’t grow up here. A child who lives in a huge villa would find everything in the countryside fresh and interesting.
But for Han Xiaomei, she had gotten tired of this place a long time ago.
Xia Yangyang found the chicks and ducklings cute because she had never seen the disgusting process of cleaning their excrement.
She found the country food delicious because she had grown tired of the delicacies of land and sea.
From a young age, Han Xiaomei had tirelessly pursued her education to achieve one goal: to escape the rural life, to get out of that world, and to be a success.
In fact, she had succeeded. Now, she has a high-paying, respectable job.
But that was still far from enough.
She had only escaped that world but couldn’t step into the circle of high society.
Despite her promising career, she could only ever be an employee for others.
The only solution was to find a stepping stone.
She was beautiful and accomplished, and many wealthy businessmen pursued her.
Despite her cordial interactions with them, these people were middle-aged, potbellied, and reeked of money. She looked down on them.
Until she saw Gu Qichen for the first time…
Han Xiaomei had to admit, she was drawn to this man full of elite charm.
