If Gu Jiaojiao wanted to change, she had to genuinely build a life with Leng Yuan and stay far away from the novel’s hero and heroine.
Seeing that it was getting late, she forced herself to get out of bed despite the discomfort in her body, ready to make lunch.
But her legs were sore and her back ached, so she had to support her waist as she walked. Just as she stepped outside, she ran right into a man walking in.
She had only caught a fleeting glimpse of him yesterday and hadn’t seen him clearly, but she knew one thing: he was exactly her type.
Looking at him closely today, she saw his features were as elegant as a stroke of ink—subtle yet deep, like a mountain spring or a piece of jade, noble and seemingly untouchable.
His posture was ramrod straight, and he carried himself with the cool elegance of green bamboo.
He didn’t look like a villager at all. Then Gu Jiaojiao remembered his ancestors had come from a prominent family, and it all made sense.
Even though the times had changed, the things instilled in a person from birth never really do.
The man possessed an elegance cultivated from a young age, but mixed within that refinement was a dangerous aura that warned others not to cross him. Coupled with a pair of sharp, ruthless eyes, he was an intimidating sight.
But Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t afraid.
She adored this kind of man.
This was the man her cousin had practically gift-wrapped for her.
When Gu Jiaojiao saw Leng Yuan look her way, a sweet smile immediately blossomed on her face.
Although it was early autumn, the midday sun was still intense. A warm halo of light fell upon the young woman, making her skin seem to glow.
The corners of her mouth turned up into a brilliant smile, one that seemed even more dazzling than the sunlight.
The man’s eyes wavered for a moment. Then, remembering her personality, his expression immediately darkened.
"I was the one who was with you yesterday," he said. "You can go to the commune and report me."
