My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 645: Mr. Gu said that he wants it, is it possible?

Chapter 645: Mr. Gu said that he wants it, is it possible?

Lin Tang wrapped her arms around Gu Yingzhou’s neck, with her legs coiled around his waist, and her red-cheeked face pressed against his shoulder, her eyes smiling like crescents.

"To know one’s mistakes and to change oneself for the better is the greatest virtue, I forgive you," she said in a clear, soft voice.

The warmth of her breath sprayed on Gu Yingzhou’s neck, causing goosebumps to rise on the spot, sending a tingling sensation sweeping across his back, making his body tense up.

"...I thank you," the man’s voice was slightly hoarse.

Lin Tang felt he was being quite impolite, how could he say such a line, it was too unrefined.

It caused a song to suddenly start playing in her head, looping over and over...

Placed back in her chair, Lin Tang slipped on her slippers and pulled Gu Yingzhou to sit beside her.

She peeled a chestnut for him.

"Try this."

The chestnut was heated on the stove and was still warm.

As soon as it was peeled, a sweet fragrance wafted out.

Gu Yingzhou grabbed Lin Tang’s hand, leaned forward, and bit into the chestnut in her hand.

He quickly sat back, his clear voice flowing out, "It’s really sweet."

Lin Tang: "Don’t have hands of your own, huh?"

Gu Yingzhou subconsciously touched his face.

Had he become old and unattractive? Why was he being disdained?

"...Are you on your period?"

"Hm?" Lin Tang’s face was puzzled, "What’s come?"

She didn’t quite catch on.

Gu Yingzhou gave a light cough, his composed expression slightly awkward, "Cough...! That, the monthly thing..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the young girl beside him roll her eyes.

"Why don’t I get it every day?!" Lin Tang said indignantly.

After saying that, she wanted to act coquettishly, to put on a show.

With a whine, she covered her face, leaving a small gap between her fingers.

"You don’t care about me, my heart is hurt, it’s broken open..."

A smile blossomed on Gu Yingzhou’s face, his deep voice tinged with laughter, "Broken open, huh? What should I do then?"

Lin Tang put down her hand, seriously saying, "At the very least, a kiss is needed for it to heal."

"No kisses," Gu Yingzhou shook his head.

...Men and women alone together can easily become inflamed.

Remembering the things he brought, he stood up and picked up the large parcel from the doorway.

He took out what was inside.

Selecting a military coat, he held it up in front of Lin Tang.

"This coat is to apologize to you, do you like it?" Gu Yingzhou asked, coaxing in a voice as vast as the night sky, as he watched the young girl.

Lin Tang was surprised to find that the military coat in his hand was smaller than any she had ever seen before, just right for her to wear.

"This size, you didn’t have it specially altered for me, did you?!" she said, but with excitement, she slipped it on to try.

When she wore it, the coat hung just at her calves, perfectly tailored.

"It really fits just right," she said, her tone a bit sprightly.

She wasn’t lacking in winter clothes; she had thermal wear and wool sweaters... but those were for wearing underneath, the only outerwear she had was her mother’s brand of cotton-padded jacket.

It was warm indeed, but not that good-looking.

As for the gifts from Aunt Ruan, those were too fashionable and would stand out too much in this small town.

This military coat would seem very outdated in the future.

But now, it was absolutely cutting-edge.

Who wouldn’t want a piece of green military apparel or a military coat?

Lin Tang remembered she had to prepare a military coat and leather boots for Lin Lu; she had already asked Xiao Heping to get them ready a long time ago. As soon as the first snow fell, she sent the clothes and shoes over, and her father was so delighted.

She was always fair and never played favorites; she had given Li Xiuli frost prevention cream along with a full set of warm clothes.

Now, seeing Gu Yingzhou give her a perfectly fitting military coat, her eyes twinkled with starlight as she smiled.

"It’s really very warm," she said.

"Silly," Gu Yingzhou began, "Of course, you’d feel warm with the house being so warm."

Lin Tang balled up her fists and thumped him, "If I say it’s warm, it’s warm."

Her small face was flushed with the red of peach blossoms due to anger, her eyes sparkled brightly, and her lips looked moist and inviting, almost criminal.

"Alright, alright, if you say it’s for warmth, then it’s for warmth," Gu Yingzhou pinched the young girl’s face, the smooth sensation lingering at his fingertips, making him want to pinch it again.

Lin Tang, however, was oblivious to his ’wolfish ambitions’.

She took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack.

She then saw the other items Gu Yingzhou had brought out, which included a normal-sized military coat and several balls of yarn.

"You still haven’t answered my question, where did my military coat come from, who helped alter it?" Lin Tang pressed on with her inquiry.

Gu Yingzhou, hearing her persistence, said helplessly, "A friend helped alter it, you don’t know him, I’ll introduce you later."

In fact, he had asked a friend to make it especially for her after giving them her measurements.

Worried that Tangtang might overthink, he didn’t want to tell her directly.

Lin Tang didn’t express if she believed him or not, and playing with the yarn, she asked, "This yarn, do you want me to knit a scarf for you?"

Gu Yingzhou, who originally intended to give it to his mother-in-law, was caught off guard by her words. His eyes flickered and he immediately said, "You can knit?"

Without waiting for Lin Tang to answer, he looked at her earnestly, "If it’s not too much trouble, could you knit one for me? Mr. Gu says he’d like one, would that be okay, Mrs. Gu?"

The way he lowered his voice to call out ’Mrs. Gu’ was incredibly tantalizing.

Fireworks exploded in Lin Tang’s heart and mind, sparkling with colors, and she couldn’t help but smile.

"...Since you want one, then okay."

Having once been an orphan struggling to survive alone, she had to be somewhat skilled in all sorts of handiwork.

Seeing the girl’s ears turn red, a spark of insight flashed in Gu Yingzhou’s eyes.

It seemed he had grasped the key to the situation.

"...Then thank you, Mrs. Gu."

The blush on Lin Tang’s ears deepened. She sat back in her seat and took a sip of tea.

Once she had calmed down, she gave Gu Yingzhou a sidelong glance.

"Where did you learn that, don’t you know it’s cheesy!"

The cliché Mary Sue scenario hadn’t even appeared yet.

Gu Yingzhou chuckled and said strangely, "Cheesy? Can’t one speak freely in their own home?"

"..."

Whatever makes you happy.

Feeling more at ease, Lin Tang leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and indulged in chestnuts and sweet tea, feeling utterly comfortable.

The combination was delightful in winter.

Gu Yingzhou sat down beside her, pulled the chestnuts toward himself, and began peeling them for the young girl.

He peeled one, fed one, treating her like a little ancestor.

Lin Tang felt the already sweet and sticky chestnuts taste even better.

She took one out and popped it into the man’s mouth.

"Don’t just look after me, you eat too, there’s plenty."

Gu Yingzhou chewed slowly, swallowed, and said, "Delicious."

It tasted even better than the ones he had before.

With that thought, the idea slightly showed on his handsome face.

Lin Tang pulled the man’s hand over.

With her other hand, she grabbed a handful of chestnuts and put them in his hand.

"You peel them if you want to eat. It’s faster that way."

Gu Yingzhou was completely dumbstruck, "..."

What happened to give and take?

He looked over at the girl beside him, munching happily, a look of resignation in his eyes.

Fine then.

Fend for oneself, strive with diligence.

Lin Tang didn’t have much of a sweet tooth, but she did like chestnuts a bit.

Having one now and then, the flavor lingered in her mouth, quite satisfying.

The room was so warm, she suddenly remembered her older brother, Lin Qingshan, who had gone to the Provincial City for the commendation ceremony and had not yet returned.

"...I don’t know when my brother will come back, with the snow being so heavy, I’m worried about their journey home," Lin Tang voiced her concern.
