Xia Yangyang quickly explained their purpose: “Auntie, actually, we came to borrow the bathroom. You know my grandmother’s house doesn’t have a bathroom and my husband just finished fixing the sheep pen, so his clothes are dirty. He was hoping to use your bathroom to take a bath.”
Miao Shuhui quickly replied: “Not a problem at all, go ahead! Yangyang, you come here often, you’re familiar with the surroundings. I’ll have Uncle Han start preparing dinner. You both have to stay for dinner tonight. Later, I’ll bring your grandmother over, and we’ll all eat together.”
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen headed to the second floor.
There is an independent bathroom upstairs in the Xia family home, but it’s hardly ever used.
Yangyang sometimes borrows the bathroom and heads there.
As they were walking down the corridor, a bedroom door suddenly opened.
Han Xiaomei came out from inside.
Seeing Xia Yangyang, she was delighted: “Yangyang, when did you get back?”
Yangyang greeted her happily: “I just got back last night. Sister Xiaomei, it has been a while since you’ve been back too.”
Han Xiaomei then noticed Gu Qichen, who was standing behind Xia Yangyang.
She seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
Then a surprised expression appeared on her face: “And who might this be…”
Xia Yangyang introduced him with a smile: “This is my husband.”
Han Xiaomei was equally surprised: “You’re married.”
Xia Yangyang’s face turned a shade of crimson: “Yes, for quite some time now.”
“Right, we came here to borrow the bathroom. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
“Not at all, go right ahead.”
Yangyang showed Qi Chen to the bathroom, gave a brief introduction and then said, “I’ll step outside first. When you’re done, I’ll come back and take my bath.”
Actually, Xia Yangyang had brought her clothes too. She didn’t take a bath last night and she was starting to feel uncomfortable.
Gu Qichen, however, laughed and said: “After coming here, I’ve come to realize how precious water is. Every single drop counts.”
Xia Yangyang was confused: “What are you trying to say?”
“In the interest of conserving water, how about we bathe together?”
Xia Yangyang blushed: “You’re such a rogue, I don’t want to. I’ll come back after you’re done.”
As she finished speaking, Xia Yangyang had already slipped out of the bathroom.
Sister Xiaomei had happened upon them coming over together.
If the two of them stayed in there together for a long time without coming out, it might lead to unnecessary speculation.
Xia Yangyang isn’t as bold as Gu Qichen.
After leaving, Xia Yangyang went to chat with Xiaomei.
Han Xiaomei seemed very curious about Gu Qichen and kept asking about how they met and got married.
Of course, Xia Yangyang wasn’t going to tell the whole truth. After all, the beginning of their relationship wasn’t exactly honorable.
So she vaguely commented that they met while she was interning at a company and that they fell in love over time.
Han Xiaomei said: “Oh, so you were colleagues.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t deny it.
It was indeed true; though at the time, Gu Qichen happened to be her superior manager.
At first, Yangyang was worried that Han Xiaomei might know Gu Qichen.
But looking at it now, it seems like she doesn’t.
It makes sense though, as Han Xiaomei used to work in the United States. She only switched jobs to a foreign company in Sea City this year, so it’s no surprise that she doesn’t know Gu Qichen.
But this is better, as Yangyang doesn’t want everyone to treat Gu Qichen specially.
After a while, Gu Qichen came over.
Xia Yangyang picked up her clothes and said, “I’m going to take a bath, you go downstairs and wait for me.”
Gu Qichen nodded.
After Xia Yangyang left, Gu Qichen was about to leave the room.
However, Han Xiaomei approached him with a delicate smile: “Yangyang and I grew up together. I never expected her to be married so soon.. By the way, may I call you Brother Gu?”
