Chapter 1428: Chapter 1332: Why Didn’t You Tell Me You Were Hurt

Xia Yangyang was dead tired.

It was her first time eating lunch in a radish field without caring about her image.

The lunch was actually quite sumptuous.

But after eating, she still had to persist in pulling up radishes.

When Xia Yangyang finished eating and tried to get up, Gu Qichen wouldn’t let her.

He insisted that she sit and rest a bit longer.

Xia Yangyang said, "At this rate, we’ll be too late."

Gu Qichen spoke up, "Wait a moment, I’ll have a word with the boss."

Xia Yangyang didn’t know what Gu Qichen could possibly do.

But she held onto a bit of hope.

Gu Qichen was, after all, a negotiation expert in the business field.

Maybe with just a little bit of his business negotiation skills, he could be successful?

It wasn’t long before the boss came over again.

Gu Qichen approached the farmer to negotiate.

But due to the language barrier, it didn’t seem to go very smoothly.

Nevertheless, Gu Qichen was very persistent.

The cameraman acted as the translator, going back and forth between them.

In the end, the farmer was so fed up with Gu Qichen that he threw a few radishes at him, seemingly just to get rid of him.

Xia Yangyang and her team somehow completed the radish-picking task in this baffling manner.

Xia Yangyang still remembers the farmer’s look of disdain towards Gu Qichen as they were leaving, saying he couldn’t even handle such a minor job and would never amount to anything in life.

Even if you’re a big CEO who calls the shots in the city, out here, in others’ eyes, you’re just a young laborer.

Where could one possibly go to reason this out?

The last character task went very smoothly.

Soon after, they passed through an apple orchard.

The owner of the orchard was warm and hospitable, giving them a whole basket of apples.

Xia Yangyang felt embarrassed and left the chicken that Gu Qichen was planning to take back to make soup with as a gift to the owner of the apple trees.

Before three in the afternoon, the two of them were almost returning loaded with their bounty.

But they had too many things; just radishes and apples filled a whole basket.

They both found it quite difficult to carry.

Xia Yangyang’s foot hurt, but she had not told Gu Qichen.

Xia Yangyang endured the pain, but halfway through, she couldn’t bear it any longer.

Xia Yangyang said to Gu Qichen, "You go ahead back first, I need to rest for a while."

Xia Yangyang sat directly on the steps leading down the hill.

Only then did Gu Qichen sense something was wrong.

Gu Qichen scrutinized Xia Yangyang: "What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Yangyang shook her head: "No, just a bit tired."

Gu Qichen’s eyebrows knitted together.

He noticed Xia Yangyang’s hand subconsciously resting on her ankle.

Without a word, Gu Qichen squatted down in front of Xia Yangyang.

Then he grabbed one of Xia Yangyang’s feet and began to take off her shoe.

Xia Yangyang was startled: "What are you doing?"

They were in the middle of filming a show, and the cameraman was still following them.

But Gu Qichen looked up sharply, his gaze seeming to carry a warning: "Don’t move, otherwise, I’ll make you even more embarrassed."

Xia Yangyang seemed to be frightened by Gu Qichen’s words.

Gu Qichen removed Xia Yangyang’s shoes and socks.

Xia Yangyang’s ankle was swollen like a bun.

Gu Qichen’s face darkened in an instant.

Gu Qichen looked up, his tone reproachful: "Your foot is injured; why didn’t you tell me?"
