Gu Zi shook her head with a cold hiss. Now, she wasn’t sure if her sister-in-law and Gui Hua could become friends, but it seemed they were on the verge of becoming rivals in love.

Gu Zi had never expected that her brother’s charm was so potent. In the time it took to deliver a package, he had already stirred the emotions of a young maiden. Perhaps this was the trouble of being attractive.

However, this situation was certainly not good news for her sister-in-law, Li Hua.

Before Gu Zi could warn Li Hua, Li Hua and Lin Cheng emerged together. Seeing Gui Hua’s starry-eyed gaze at her husband, Li Hua became alert. She handed Lin Cheng a coat, expressing her concern, “Brother Cheng, you’re not dressed warmly enough. You might catch a cold. Take this coat with you.”

Lin Cheng, who was now working at a pig farm, was busy all day. He and Li Hua only saw each other late in the evening. He missed her greatly, so he had eyes for no one else. Holding Li Hua’s hand, he said, “Alright, I’ll put it on. Thank you, Little Hua. You should eat more too. Don’t follow your sister’s example and eat less. Don’t starve yourself.”

Gu Zi emerged from the kitchen and sat down, pursing her lips. She hadn’t expected to witness her brother and sister-in-law’s public display of affection, making her feel like a third wheel.

However, she wasn’t too bothered. Compared to Gui Hua, whose romantic dreams had just been shattered, she was doing quite well.

Gui Hua, having finished her meal, had planned to pay Li Hua and casually inquire about the handsome man. But now, Li Hua was holding hands with her handsome man, exchanging sweet nothings. What was going on?

Wasn’t Li Hua already married? Why was she still holding hands with another man? It was outrageous!

Gui Hua stepped forward to give Li Hua the money. She glanced at Li Hua, then at the hand Li Hua was holding with Lin Cheng. Finally, she plucked up the courage to ask Li Hua, “Aren’t you married? Why are you openly holding hands with another man? What kind of person are you?”

Gui Hua looked at the couple in front of her with the eyes of someone witnessing an adulterous affair. She had considered all possibilities, but one she hadn’t thought of was that the man in front of her was Li Hua’s husband.

Women are extremely sensitive when faced with such situations, and Li Hua was no exception. She was annoyed by Gui Hua’s gaze at her and her husband’s hand-holding. Li Hua gripped her husband’s hand tighter, a smile of happiness tugging at her lips. She introduced Lin Cheng to Gui Hua in a very domineering tone.

“Gui Hua, I haven’t introduced you yet. This is my husband, Lin Cheng. He’s currently working at a pig farm. He came today specifically to deliver goods and to see me. I’ll take your money, but I won’t be able to entertain you any longer. I need to see my husband off and have a private chat with him. Please excuse us.”

After saying this, Li Hua led Lin Cheng outside. Lin Cheng was momentarily stunned, allowing himself to be led away. His eyes were fixed on his wife. If it weren’t for the many onlookers, he would have asked Li Hua what was going on.

They had been together for many years, and he had never seen Li Hua behave like this. It was quite novel!

“Hahaha, it’s okay, it’s okay. So you’re a married couple! You go ahead and chat. I’ll… I’ll be leaving too.” Gui Hua responded to Li Hua, forcing a smile onto her face.

She didn’t realize that Gu Zi, the two boys, and Lin Hun were watching her. Her expression was worse than if she had been crying. She was still struggling to digest the fact that this man was Li Hua’s husband.

Gui Hua quickly left Li Hua’s restaurant and returned to her own shop. As soon as she turned her back, she retreated behind a stack of cardboard boxes. The shop echoed with the sound of her heartbroken sobs, which didn’t fade for a long time. She hadn’t expected heartbreak to come so quickly. It was so embarrassing…

Back in Li Hua’s restaurant, Su Li watched as Li Hua and Lin Cheng returned after Gui Hua’s departure. He didn’t understand. Weren’t they supposed to be having a private conversation? Had they run out of things to say? He quietly asked Su Bing, “Brother, what just happened? Did Uncle and Aunt finish their private conversation so quickly?”

Before Su Bing could answer, Lin Hun, who had overheard Su Li’s question, teased, “What do you know, kid? Your uncle is over the moon today. Your aunt was just defending her husband! She was playing a ‘Husband Defense War’ game!

“But judging by your uncle’s reaction, I guess he hasn’t figured it out yet. He just made that woman fall in love with him. Hahaha, it’s really funny. I didn’t expect to see this today. This will keep me laughing for a year. Hahaha.”
