Chapter 264: Two hundred sixty-four Isn’t it just stockings? Buy them yourself! _1

Ji Pianran felt both shy and angry, and in response, she stretched out her little fist to punch Gu Chen.

She was naturally slim, and her little pink fist felt like a cat scratching, with no force behind it at all.

Gu Chen knew he had said something wrong as soon as the words left his mouth.

Seeing that she was truly angry, he reached out to grab her slender arm, pulled her in one swift motion, and directly brought her into his embrace.

Then he pecked her on the lips, comforting her in a gentle voice.

"Alright, be good, let’s not be upset, you didn’t eat very much at all."

Ji Pianran didn’t expect Gu Chen to kiss her in front of others.

While she was feeling shy, the slight jealousy she had felt a moment ago vanished instantly.

What replaced it was an indescribable sweetness.

Gu Chen was hers!

No one could take him away!

The girl sat down beside Gu Chen’s bed, then lifted her silk-stockinged leg, completely oblivious to the two people sitting opposite her.

"Oh, are you also going to Huacheng?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran nodded, "Mhm."

If she wanted to chat, she could just talk to herself; she was anyway not allowed to chat with Gu Chen!

"I’m in the clothing business, actually heading to Huacheng to stock up. Looks like we’re on the same path," the woman said, smiling at Gu Chen. She then ran her fingers through her wavy hair, tucking it behind her ear, before lowering her head to start eating her noodles.

She didn’t take more than a few bites before she looked up at Gu Chen with a smile again.

"By the way, brother, you’re so handsome, you’re not going to Huacheng to work in sales, are you? I’ve heard that handsome guys like you are really popular in sales over there."

Gu Chen was handsome, and it was a societal norm for people to enjoy engaging in conversation with good-looking individuals, regardless of gender.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the saying that beauty is pleasing to the eye.

Speaking with attractive people really does lift one’s spirits!

Gu Chen really didn’t want to deal with her, but he also felt that ignoring her without saying a word would look bad, so he casually said,

"We’re going to meet someone."

After that, he took out his phone and began playing Tetris, hunched over. His wife was already feeling jealous, and he didn’t want to make things worse.

Seeing the girl across from her, Ji Pianran’s doused jealousy began to churn again.

Gu Chen had kissed her, couldn’t she see???

Why did she keep finding excuses to talk to Gu Chen!

And smiling at Gu Chen!

Endless chattering, left and right!

Couldn’t she see that they even had a child together?

Seeing that Gu Chen was preoccupied with his phone, the girl stopped talking and focused on finishing her noodles before standing up, apologizing to Gu Chen, "Sorry for taking your bed."

After saying that, she went out to throw away her trash.

Once she left, Gu Chen returned to his own seat, gazing at the compartment door, contemplating his next move upon reaching Huacheng.

He felt that the first step should be to call the police, but whether the police could find what he was looking for was a different story.

After all, there were numerous pyramid schemes in Huacheng.

Chaotic and assorted, what if they couldn’t find it, how should he go about locating this pyramid scheme organization?

Before long, the woman from the upper bunk finished throwing away her trash and came back. She took off her shoes and began climbing to her bunk.

Gu Chen was lost in thought at this moment.

By sheer coincidence, his gaze fell right where the ladder was!

He had no idea that the wife across from him was staring at him.

She pursed her lips and sniffed.

Was that thing really that fascinating to look at?

By now, it was already twelve o’clock, and Ji Pianran lay beside Tangtang with her eyes closed.

She soon drifted off to sleep.

In the dream, they got off the train to find women wearing stockings everywhere, each with legs longer than the last. Gu Chen checked out one after another, and in the end, he even ran off, leaving her and Tangtang behind.

When she awoke, it was already eight o’clock in the morning. She felt the cold sweat on her forehead and made up her mind.

Once they got to Huacheng, she would go buy stockings!

It he wanted to look, she would let him look at her!

She, Ji Pianran, was not physically disabled; she had legs too, right!

It wasn’t long before Tangtang woke up as well. It had to be said, the sleep quality of children is really good; she had slept straight through from last night until now, without waking once.

Now, she slowly opened her eyes in a daze, and upon seeing that she was in a strange place, her eyes widened in alarm, and she looked around in bewilderment. A full minute later, she grabbed onto Ji Pianran’s sleeve and asked, confused, "Mommy, where are we?"

Yesterday, she was clearly on the train.

Seeing her daughter’s nervousness, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but smile, "We are on our way to Huacheng, and we’ll be there in a few hours."

Upon hearing this, the little one lifted her head in curiosity and asked, "Mommy, what is Huacheng? Are there a lot of flowers there?"

Gu Chen, who had also woken up by now, couldn’t help but chime in, "Huacheng isn’t a city of flowers, but there is a large amusement park there and a wildlife zoo. They have really delicious food, and fun things to do."

Since he had agreed to let Ji Pianran take the child with him, he had to make sure they enjoyed themselves.

When the amusement park was mentioned, the little one instantly became excited. Her black, sparkly eyes blinked rapidly, "Wow, Tangtang loves to play!"

Gu Chen looked at his watch.

"I’ll go buy some cookies. Let’s have a bite, and after we get off, we can have some delicious food. I’ve heard that Huacheng’s morning tea is great; we should try it!"

Speaking of the morning tea of Huacheng.

Steamed rice rolls, dry steamed Siu Mai, and Shuhe fried rice noodles all have a unique flavor.

Although Gu Chen had never been there in his previous life, the apartment he rented was located above a Cantonese morning tea restaurant, and it tasted really good.

Now that they were here, he planned to take his wife and child to try it as well.

Ji Pianran had eaten too much instant noodles the night before and wasn’t hungry at all, but she nodded, "Okay."

Seeing Ji Pianran nod, Gu Chen then got up to go buy cookies.

While Gu Chen was out buying cookies, Ji Pianran took Tangtang to the restroom. They washed up quickly because they had left in a hurry and hadn’t brushed their teeth.

When they returned, Gu Chen had bought the cookies, and the family of three had some cookies to fill their stomachs.

...

At eleven o’clock, the train attendant finally made the announcement.

"We will arrive at Huacheng in ten minutes. Passengers disembarking, please prepare in advance."

The Gu family of three hadn’t brought much with them, so they got off the train quickly and headed straight for the door, disembarking seamlessly.

Once off the train, they were greeted with a blast of moist air. It was so damp that Ji Pianran almost felt like she was back in Sichuan Province.

After leaving the train station, the family of three went to the roadside. It had to be said, a first-tier city was indeed much more developed than a third-tier city, the most obvious sign being the number of cars.

All kinds of sedans and taxis with their vacancy lights on.

Gu Chen hailed a taxi, and the family of three got in.

The driver, a middle-aged local, noted Gu Chen’s height of over one meter eighty and his rugged features, and immediately judged that they were not from around here.

In his uneven Mandarin, he greeted enthusiastically, "Young man, are you here in Huacheng for tourism?"

Gu Chen nodded, "Yes, sir. They say that the best morning tea is in Huacheng. Take us to have morning tea first."
