Gu Zi felt she wasn’t experiencing an illusion; it was Gong Xin who seed to be in a daze.

Gong Xin waved away Gu Zi’s hand and said, “It’s a long story. Hurry, take to your place for a drink, and we can talk slowly.”

She didn’t want to admit she got lost on her way to find Gu Zi; that would be embarrassing. Nonetheless, her body did crave hydration at the mont.

Gu Zi observed Gong Xin’s parched lips and felt a touch of helplessness. How did Gong Xin, the pampered Miss, get herself into such a state?

Gong Xin seed to have co here specifically to look for her. Could she have gotten lost?

Without mocking her, Gu Zi led her ho, and Gong Xin stood in astonishnt before the two-story building.

She knew the man Gu Zi was to marry was a pig farr, and he likely had so money, but she never expected such luxurious living conditions—a two-story house with a front yard.

No wonder Gu Zi was willing to marry and beco a stepmother to three kids in the countryside. Even city dwellers couldn’t match these living conditions.

It seed Gu Zi had tad both humans and animals here!

“Have so water; I’ll prepare so dessert for you,” Gu Zi offered, handing her a glass of water before heading inside.

Gong Xin gulped down the water, simultaneously scanning her surroundings with wide eyes, remaining in a perpetual state of surprise, unable to articulate her thoughts.

The living room was spacious and bright, adorned with imported tiles that reflected clear images. It was furnished with a television stand, sofas, wooden tables, and chairs—a complete set of furniture. Various modern appliances adorned the space as well.

There were not many people in the city who could et this condition. She did not expect the Su family in the countryside to be so ahead of tis. They must be extrely wealthy!

Suddenly, Gong Xin felt her ager gift seed inadequate. Seeing Gu Zi approaching with sothing, she was unsure whether to present it.

Gu Zi placed the grass jelly dessert she had prepared in front of her, explaining it was a cooling and thirst-quenching dessert.

Gong Xin had not completely quenched her thirst after drinking the water. When she heard Gu Zi say this, she imdiately picked it up and ate it.

Su Li, who was doing his howork nearby, watched her with surprise. Were city folks this greedy?

Su Bing reminded him in a hushed tone not to get distracted from his howork, so Su Li continued writing.

Seeing Gong Xin enjoy the food, Gu Zi felt genuinely content.

How should she put it? Although Gong Xin had never been on good terms with the original owner since she was young, she never harbored any ill intentions.

Especially after Gu Zi sold her job to Gong Xin, their relationship seed to have naturally beco harmonious.

Gu Zi hadn’t expected Gong Xin to visit her in the countryside.

After finishing the dessert, Gong Xin sighed, “I feel so good after eating this.

My parched throat finally feels relieved.”

“Why didn’t you bring a bottle of water with you?” Gu Zi was a little speechless.

Gong Xin pouted. “Do you know how hard it is to find your place?”

She had arrived around noon and intended to have lunch here, but she couldn’t find the location. She had even run out of water.

Gu Zi then rembered that Gong Xin was terrible with directions. She had gotten lost many tis in the city during her childhood.

Teasing her, Gu Zi said, “Missy, you’re quite sothing. Not recognizing the way yet daring to co to the countryside alone. What brings you to find ?”

Gong Xin Iw she had let slip, fearing the woman’s mocking gaze, which made her blush slightly. But knowing her purpose here was serious, she refrained from engaging in verbal banter.

“I was serious just now. You’re not married yet, so it’s not too late. Co back and be my sister-in-law. I an it. I can tell my brother acts tough, but he cares about you.”

Gong Xin acknowledged the older man’s wealth but felt he was too old! And being a pig farr— who knows how intimidating he might look!

Her once arch-nesis, this flower-like beauty, couldn’t possibly bow down to wealth alone. She felt that although Gu Zi might have given up on Gong Zhan, having liked him for so long, if she knew he truly cared, she might reconsider.

Gu Zi’s lips curved into a faint smile, her eyes slightly narrowed. “My dear, did you co all this way just to say that?”

Gong Xin felt a chill run down her spine for so unknown reason. Holding her arms, she said, “Yes, I think you and my brother are well-matched. As for the old man from the Su family, he’s wealthy but not a suitable match..”
