The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 135 - 134: Leng Yuan Wants a Divorce?

Leng Yuan, afraid of what might happen if he held her any longer, quickly set Gu Jiaojiao down on the bed. "I’m going out for a bit. You should get some rest."

With that, he strode quickly out of the room.

The moment he stepped outside, a blast of cold wind hit his face, instantly sobering him.

’It’s really cold out at night. He just ran out like that... won’t he freeze?’

’And he still hasn’t told me about that shady loan!’

With that in mind, Gu Jiaojiao decided to wait up for Leng Yuan.

She waited and waited, until she eventually fell asleep.

Gu Jiaojiao simply couldn’t stay awake any longer. She fell asleep, and still, Leng Yuan hadn’t returned.

Meanwhile, Leng Yuan was at the riverbank with a bucket and a fishing net, catching fish.

He knew Jiaojiao’s constitution was too delicate to handle him, so he had come out to catch some fish to help build up her strength.

’This way, we won’t have to worry about this problem in the future.’

In the dead of night, the man finally headed back after catching a large bucket of fish by the river.

Seeing that she was fast asleep, he waited until his body had warmed up before quietly lying down beside Gu Jiaojiao. He then pulled her into his arms and fell into a deep sleep.

「The next day.」 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

For once, Gu Jiaojiao was up early.

Perhaps from sleeping for a whole day and night, her complexion had improved. Her skin looked so tender and supple it seemed water would spring from it if pinched.

But Leng Yuan was already long gone, having woken up even earlier.

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t think much of it. After washing up, she went into the kitchen to start making breakfast.

But when she looked into the water cistern, she saw it was full of fish.

This was their large household water cistern, with a capacity of four hundred jin, and right now, it was filled to the brim with fish.

’So, he spent the entire night catching fish?’

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was happy, but her heart also ached for him.

’This man is practically a jack-of-all-trades. He can hunt and fish.’

’He’s really incredible.’

There was no way they could eat so many fish, and they didn’t have anything to feed them to keep them alive. They might as well kill them, salt them, and dry them to preserve them for longer.

However, she didn’t have the nerve to kill fish, so she would have to wait for Leng Yuan to get back to do it.

Breakfast was simple: corn porridge and savory egg-and-vegetable pancakes.

When Leng Yuan returned from outside drenched in sweat, Gu Jiaojiao stared, stunned.

"You went for a run?"

Leng Yuan nodded. "Yeah."

He wiped the sweat from his brow and, noticing his wife staring at him, couldn’t help but say, "Why don’t you come running with me tomorrow? It’ll build up your strength!"

Gu Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, thinking that her body was indeed too delicate.

To be honest, since transmigrating into this book, she hadn’t done any strenuous work.

When it came time to work in the fields next year, with a constitution like this, she’d probably collapse before she even started.

After some thought, Gu Jiaojiao nodded. "Alright."

’Running is a good habit, after all.’

’But I never would have thought Leng Yuan had a habit like this.’

’How did I not notice it before?’

’No, that’s not right. Before, when Leng Yuan was teaching in the township, he walked many miles of mountain roads every day. That’s far more tiring than just running.’

Putting everything else aside, Gu Jiaojiao was truly envious of his physical fitness.

Leng Yuan glanced down at his own physique. He noticed his wife seemed to be... admiring the view.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and before Gu Jiaojiao could notice, he had returned to their room to wash up.

By the time Leng Yuan came out again, breakfast was already on the table.

He had planned on cooking when he got back, but since Gu Jiaojiao had woken up so early, all he had to do was eat.

After they finished eating, Leng Yuan cleaned up in the kitchen while Gu Jiaojiao sorted some medicinal herbs outside. At the doorway, a head kept peeking in and then disappearing.

Gu Jiaojiao...

"JianShe, come on in!"

Caught, Chen JianShe scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh. "Gu Zhiqing!"

Gu Jiaojiao...

"Gu Zhiqing?"

"Yeah! Aren’t you and Brother Leng getting divorced? It wouldn’t be right for me to call you Sister-in-law anymore!"
