The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Chapter 266: Gu Jiaojiao Has Become Even More Beautiful

The three of them arrived at the brigade entrance, each lost in their own thoughts.

They had already arrived, but Hu Ziqiang still hadn’t figured out a way to turn down Li Hongmei.

He let out a melancholy sigh. ’It’s all my fault for being too exceptional.’

"Once we get our share of the pork, how are you planning to cook it?"

"Braised, I think! Soft and tender, served with some wild vegetable pancakes... it’ll be heavenly."

Just as Hu Ziqiang was sighing to himself,

he heard people nearby discussing ways to cook the wild boar meat.

’At this moment, all that nonsense about love and romance didn’t matter.’

’Pork was what mattered.’

Hu Ziqiang craned his neck to look at the table up front. He saw Leng Yuan butchering the pig with movements that were as smooth as flowing water. They were rhythmic and seemed unhurried, yet he worked with incredible speed.

He quickly finished butchering the wild boar.

He had separated everything neatly—bones in one pile, pork in another, and entrails in a third.

His movements were so clean and precise, an uninformed observer might have thought he was creating a work of art.

Hu Ziqiang was speechless.

’There must be something wrong with my brain,’ he thought. ’How could I compare butchering a pig to creating a work of art?’

His gaze shifted from Leng Yuan to the piles of pork, and his eyes lit up.

His family was relatively well-off and sent him a care package once a month, which made his life a little easier. Still, eating meat was a luxury for him.

’I wonder how much pork I’ll get this time. If it’s not much, I’ll just stir-fry it with cabbage. But if I get a decent amount, I want to make red-braised pork, too!’

Just thinking of the aroma made Hu Ziqiang swallow hard.

Yun Hao, on the other hand, was much better off.

His parents had good jobs—his father was a factory manager and his mother a director. As their only son, he received more than enough money for living expenses each month; he could never even spend it all.

The same went for his ration tickets.

As a result, Yun Hao wasn’t particularly craving pork.

Wanting a better view of the spectacle, Hu Ziqiang couldn’t resist pulling Yun Hao a little closer to the front.

His eyes scanned the crowd, and he soon spotted Gu Jiaojiao.

Hu Ziqiang was taken aback.

Hu Ziqiang, of course, had also noticed the way Gu Jiaojiao was staring at Leng Yuan. She looked exactly like a smitten fangirl. He couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"Don’t tell me she’s actually fallen for Leng Yuan!"

He knew Gu Jiaojiao’s character better than almost anyone.

She was a spoiled, self-important young lady who, after being sent to the countryside, had utterly looked down on the local villagers.

And yet now, she had married one. He had assumed she would keep pestering Yun Hao endlessly.

After all, she had even gotten married just to get a reaction out of Yun Hao.

But as time went on, Gu Jiaojiao had only approached Yun Hao once, and she hadn’t even managed to stir up any trouble.

Eventually, Hu Ziqiang was forced to believe that Gu Jiaojiao truly didn’t like Yun Hao anymore.

Now, seeing her gaze at Leng Yuan with such adoration...

’Is she really planning to settle down and live a proper life with him?’

’Can a princess like her really endure the hardships of country life?’

Hu Ziqiang’s jaw nearly hit the floor.

Yun Hao’s thin lips tightened as a pang of discomfort spread through his chest, and his expression darkened.
