Chapter 194: One hundred ninety-four. Her husband is really good.

Chapter 194: One hundred ninety-four. Her husband is really good.

After writing down the address, Gu Chen handed the receipt to Uncle Guang and said with a beaming smile, "Pleasure doing business with you, I’ll sell you more Cordyceps next time!"

Uncle Guang nodded enthusiastically, rewarding him with a hearty laugh.

"No problem at all, not just Cordyceps but any kind of medicinal herbs, I’ll take them all!"

With the address in hand, Uncle Guang was in high spirits, his tone utterly magnanimous.

"Then it’s a deal!"

"It’s a deal!"

...

Meanwhile, Ji Pianran, with Sugar in tow, for the first time spent two yuan to buy her a cup of fruit juice.

Watching her daughter drink with joy, she felt sweeter than honey.

The mother and daughter walked a bit further and entered a clothing store that looked quite decent.

Ji Pianran didn’t dare enter a department store since the clothes there were frighteningly expensive!

With her own financial means, she couldn’t afford them.

She wanted to use the money she had earned to buy Gu Chen a new outfit!

Although it wasn’t the best, it was the fruit of her own efforts.

"Sugar, do you think that piece of clothing would look good on Daddy?"

Ji Pianran looked around seriously before pointing to a light grey sweatshirt and gently asking Sugar.

In this season, wearing a shirt was a bit cold and a sweater too thick, but a sweatshirt was just right.

Hearing that it was for Daddy, the little girl nodded without hesitation.

"Good-looking, Daddy is the best-looking!"

Sugar was still young and didn’t know the word "handsome," only "good-looking."

Her daddy was the most, most, most good-looking person in the world, better looking than any star, and looked good in anything!

The store owner was a woman in her thirties with short hair.

She was originally engrossed in a novel behind the counter.

Hearing Sugar’s words, the store owner immediately burst into laughter; she looked up at Sugar’s face with a smile.

"This little one, you can tell she really loves her daddy," she said with a laugh.

Ji Pianran affectionately glanced at Sugar and spoke softly.

"Mm, Sugar is very close to Daddy."

Their father-daughter relationship was indeed very good.

Upon hearing this, Sugar wasn’t pleased, her little mouth pouted, "Daddy is also very close to Sugar, Daddy treats Sugar very well!"

It wasn’t just that Sugar liked Daddy, Daddy also liked Sugar a lot.

That’s how it should be.

The little one’s persistence made the store owner laugh even harder.

"That’s wonderful, looks like Daddy has been with her quite a lot."

As she said this, there was a hint of envy in her tone.

She had raised her own child single-handedly since Dad wasn’t around much, and the child didn’t even want to be with Dad.

Although they were father and son, the child was exceptionally resistant to him, not even allowing hugs.

It was tough on her as a mother.

Not to mention the exhaustion, it was also distressing to watch the estrangement between father and son.

"Daddy always tucks me into bed, buys me toys, and he just said he’d buy me a candied haw too!" Sugar eagerly attested to her Daddy’s kindness.

It had to be said, the girl was getting better and better at talking with each passing day; in just the span of a month, she was able to utter longer sentences.

Children really do change every day.

After hearing this, the store owner couldn’t help but glance at Ji Pianran’s face.

Although there was a smile, it looked somewhat forlorn.

"It seems you’ve got yourself a good husband~"

Nowadays, men without a sense of responsibility seem to be on the rise—so many would rather hang out drinking idly than go home to chat with their children, let alone tuck them in every night.

Such good men are truly hard to come by.

At these words, a flicker of happiness passed through Ji Pianran’s eyes, and she softly agreed.

"Mhm, my husband is indeed not bad."

Gu Chen took care of everything inside and outside the house, cared for her and the children, and now she truly couldn’t find a single fault with him.

As she spoke, her face was etched with a faint smile, her entire being radiated an indescribable sense of contentment.

It seemed that just mentioning this person filled her with happiness.

The shop owner laughed heartily.

"It looks like you two have a great relationship, I’m really envious."

She then stood up, walked over to the piece of clothing Ji Pianran had chosen, hooked it down with a hanger, and handed it to Ji Pianran.

"You’ve got a good eye, this garment is of great style and quality. It’s just like the ones sold in big stores, and it has sold out several times here."

Ji Pianran reached out to touch the fabric.

The material was indeed good, tightly woven from pure cotton. Such a garment would be very comfortable on the body, and also durable.

Most importantly, the cut of the clothes was also very attractive—it was a sports style, and Gu Chen would definitely look handsome in it.

"How much is this one?" she asked.

"This one is 150 yuan, as you can see, the workmanship and quality are really good, it would cost four or five hundred in a big store. My shop operates on thin profits," the shop owner replied.

Ji Pianran awkwardly bargained.

"Can you do 120? If that’s okay, I’ll also pick up a pair of pants."

She wasn’t good at haggling, even though she had been learning for three years now, she still wasn’t very adept at it.

The shop owner was a savvy businesswoman and she jokingly agreed, "Alright, for the sake of your pretty face!"

That day, Ji Pianran had her hair tied into a ponytail, wearing just an ordinary sweater. She was thin enough to make it look oversized, coupled with a pair of slim-fit jeans for the bottom.

The shoes were the grey leather ones Gu Chen had bought for her.

Her simple outfit, on her, inexplicably added a touch of chicness.

A garment worth tens gave the impression of being worth hundreds.

And with her stunningly beautiful face, she really was pretty.

Ji Pianran gave a shy smile, "Then thank you."

Having said that, she lowered her head to help Gu Chen pick out pants—a simple and elegant pair of black sports pants.

Dressed in this ensemble, she could already imagine how good Gu Chen would look.

Sunny and handsome, tsk...

After inquiring about the price, Ji Pianran carried the clothes she had purchased, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction to be able to buy things for Gu Chen with her own earned money.

Having bought clothes for Gu Chen, she took Tangtang to a children’s clothing store. This was the first time she had made so much money in her life, and she had to get gifts for both Gu Chen and Tangtang!

That’s how people are. The first time they earn so much money through their own efforts, their thoughts turn to buying things for their most important ones, to make them happy.

Gu Chen and Tangtang were the two most important people in Ji Pianran’s heart.

Meanwhile...

Gu Chen, with the money from selling Cordyceps, sat back in his van, pondering whether to try the car’s interior market, when the phone suddenly rang.

He thought it was Ji Pianran looking for him and quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket.

The name displayed on the screen was actually from someone called Li Aifang.

Gu Chen’s eyes were tinged with confusion, besides Ji Pianran’s number, he hadn’t stored anyone else’s.

Who was this person, and why had he saved their number?

...

As he thought about it, the image from that day at the hospital suddenly flashed in his mind.

The woman with curly hair.

When she returned his phone to him, it seemed she had said her name was Li Aifang.
