The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616: Chapter 612: Asking about Gu Jiaojiao

’Gu Jiaojiao?’

The name instantly shattered Xu Wenwan’s composure, but she managed to steady herself.

She forced herself to speak in her usual gentle tone. "I know who Gu Jiaojiao is, but we’re not close. Why do you suddenly ask about her?"

An Dongyang didn’t seem to read too much into it. "I’m a teacher at the commune, but I haven’t been back since the semester started. Gu Jiaojiao has been substituting for me. I only found out later that she’s also from Qingshan Team. It really feels like fate."

An Dongyang said that last word with particular emphasis, then chuckled to himself.

Xu Wenwan gripped her chopsticks tightly. She knew An Dongyang was a womanizer even before she married him. ’There’s nothing wrong with a man being a philanderer,’ she thought. ’Only poor, incompetent men are faithful, and that’s only because they don’t have the means to cheat.’

So, she had expected that she wouldn’t be the only woman in An Dongyang’s life. But she didn’t care.

What she wanted was the status of being An Dongyang’s wife. As for anything else, she couldn’t care less.

But there was one thing she would not permit. The other women in An Dongyang’s life could be anyone—anyone at all—except Gu Jiaojiao.

Xu Wenwan forced a stiff smile, feigning nonchalance as she said, "Gu Jiaojiao is Leng Yuan’s wife. They’ve been very much in love ever since they got married. Now that they’re both teachers at the commune, it’s become big news in our village!"

As she spoke, Xu Wenwan kept her eyes fixed on An Dongyang’s face, but his expression remained placid, as if he had only been asking out of casual curiosity.

Xu Wenwan couldn’t read anything from his expression. She let out a huge sigh of relief, and the tension in her back finally eased.

’Looks like An Dongyang just mentioned her casually. He isn’t really interested in Gu Jiaojiao. I was just overthinking things.’

With that thought, Xu Wenwan’s expression softened considerably, and she even finished washing the dishes afterward in a cheerful mood.

With An Dongyang at home, even if Mrs. An couldn’t stand Xu Wenwan, she didn’t dare to go too far.

He was her son, after all, and he always protected Xu Wenwan. She didn’t want to drive a wedge between them over some woman.
