Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1168 - 1170: As Always

"It’s not a bother, I just happened to have some time and came by; I just met Zi Lan and the others at the door, and Zi Lan seems quite seriously ill."

Upon hearing this, Xiaotian’s heart skipped a beat. Hadn’t Zi Lan and the others been out for a long time?

How long has Guo Feng been here? Did he overhear her conversation with Li Fugui?

She couldn’t ask, so she had to keep pretending, "Yeah, Zi Lan has diarrhea, so I asked the coachman to take her to see the doctor. They’ll come back and pick me up to go home later."

"That’s right, you’re doing the right thing. With your pregnancy, it’s not good to run around with them. Just wait here."

Seeing Xiaotian so flustered, Guo Feng feared she was worried he overheard their conversation and continued, "I came up late. I just met some business acquaintances in the lobby and had a few drinks with them."

Indeed, Guo Feng’s words relaxed Xiaotian’s anxious heart slightly, "Hmm."

Seeing Xiaotian like this, Guo Feng felt distressed. Looking at her face, it was obvious she had been crying. He clenched his fist hanging down, "You seem to love going out lately. How about I take you out for a walk next time? The doctor said moving around more is good for childbirth."

"Hmm."

Guo Feng wasn’t too excited about Xiaotian’s promise; he knew she had something on her mind and was merely placating him, "How about we go to the Han family tomorrow? Han Yongsheng is going to be a father too. You can meet his wife. Both of you are pregnant; maybe you have common topics to discuss."

"Okay, let’s do that, I’ll listen to you." Xiaotian agreed because she had long decided that after explaining things to Fugui, she would live well with Guo Feng.

Moments later, Li Fugui came over with the prepared dishes, "Young master Guo, all the dishes are ready, you may start."

"Alright, thank you Chef Jiang. My wife loved yesterday’s pastries; could you make some more to take along when we leave?"

Upon hearing Guo Feng repeatedly call him Chef Jiang and seeing Xiaotian’s reaction, Li Fugui realized Guo Feng hadn’t heard the conversation between him and Xiaotian, and he too felt relieved. He didn’t want to put Xiaotian in a tough spot, "Sure, I’ll prepare them now."

As Li Fugui was leaving, he overheard Guo Feng’s caring words for Xiaotian.

"Darling, this is your favorite dish. Please try it."

Such words pierced Li Fugui’s heart, but Guo Feng was now Xiaotian’s rightful husband, and he wasn’t. He could only watch helplessly.

He returned to the kitchen, burdened with a sense of unwillingness, to make the pastries. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

In the private room, Guo Feng continued to take care of Xiaotian, as if nothing had happened.

"Darling, eat more; if you like it, I’ll bring you back when there’s time."

"Hmm."

The two just ate like this, the atmosphere was very harmonious until Li Fugui brought the pastries, until Zi Lan and the coachman returned.

"Young master, young mistress."

"Zi Lan, are you alright? What did the doctor say?" Guo Feng asked.

"Back to the young master, Zi Lan is fine. The doctor prescribed some medicine, and she feels much better now."

Sitting there, Xiaotian felt relieved seeing Zi Lan was fine; she thought she must treat her better from now on to make up for today’s mistake.

"It’s good that you’re okay, let’s go then."

The group then left the private room, when they were just downstairs, they were stopped by acquaintances from the lobby.

"Young master Guo, who is this?"
