Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 655: Chapter 656: Gu Qichen, What Kind of Ruffian Are You Playing?

Gu Qichen’s method sounded good.

Xia Yangyang didn’t object either.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Thus, the three of them began to divide the work and cooperate.

Xia Ye also showed interest.

He usually slept for long periods, and even when he woke up, he mostly spent his time quietly reading and studying.

They rarely participated in such rural recreational activities.

Indeed, after they divided the work, their efficiency increased dramatically.

It was as if they were secretly competing with each other.

Everyone was working as quickly as they could.

In just half an hour, Gu Qichen had already filled three baskets.

However, Xia Yangyang was the slowest, sitting on a small stool choosing and picking vegetables.

His attention was mainly on the two people racing in the yard.

Therefore, the work in his hands naturally slowed down.

“Mom, you’re the slowest.” Xia Ye said, laughing.

Xia Yangyang also laughed, brushing off the snow from Xia Ye’s hair: “Do you find it fun?”

Xia Ye was seldom excited: “It’s very fun, I’ve never picked wild vegetables before.”

Xia Ye had little free time as a child, even when awake, he spent most of his time coding with Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was introverted and didn’t enjoy talking much.

Therefore, Xia Ye also developed a mature personality.

They had never seen him so happy before.

Xia Yangyang felt that this was how a child should look.

Gu Qichen spoke up: “You take Xia Ye inside. It’s cold outside, and his shoes are soaked in snow water. Get him inside to change his shoes.”

Xia Ye’s shoes were indeed wet, but Gu Qichen’s shoes were even more drenched.

Xia Yangyang felt a little distressed and told Xia Ye, “Go in by yourself and change into a pair of slippers, I’ll come in right away.”

Xia Ye obediently went inside.

Xia Yangyang indeed stayed outside to pick vegetables with Gu Qichen.

Thinking that the two of them could speed up the process.

Without saying anything, Gu Qichen agreed.

The two of them did indeed pick the remaining vegetables much faster.

They picked and washed all the remaining shepherd’s purse within ten minutes.

Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang went indoors together.

Xia Yangyang’s shoes were soaked through and her toes were numb from the cold.

As she stood up from washing the vegetables by the well, she felt her footing give way and started to fall backward.

Fortunately, Gu Qichen was right by her side.

He stretched out his arm and directly pulled Xia Yangyang into his embrace.

Xia Yangyang’s forehead bumped against Gu Qichen’s chin.

Their bodies were held tightly together.

Xia Yangyang was a little stunned and extremely uncomfortable.

Despite the freezing weather, Gu Qichen’s hand was warm.

He had a clean and cold fragrance.

Whenever Xia Yangyang smelled this scent, which was unique to Gu Qichen, her heart rate would accelerate.

Xia Yangyang whispered a “thank you,” intending to back away.

However, the hand Gu Qichen had wrapped around her waist did not loosen.

Instead, it held her tighter.

They were pressed so close together they could feel each other’s breaths.

Xia Yangyang was a little annoyed and tried to break free.

However, Gu Qichen held her in his arms like shackles, refusing to let her escape.

Xia Yangyang barked angrily, “Gu Qichen, what are you playing at?”

He hadn’t heard those words in many years, almost considered her catchphrase.

Seeing Xia Yangyang’s frustrated and blushing appearance, Gu Qichen shamelessly realized how much he had missed these moments.

Lowering his head, he kissed Xia Yangyang’s lips.

Xia Yangyang froze, her eyes wide open.

It was a lingering kiss before Gu Qichen let go of Xia Yangyang.

Xia Yangyang barely breathed, stiffened still as a statue.
