Chapter 273: Two Hundred Seventy-Three Poor Gu Zhigang_1

Seeing that Gu Chen seemed not to like it, she immediately regretted it immensely.

How could Gu Chen not like it?

He explained, "I do like it, as long as it’s from you, I like everything."

Upon hearing Gu Chen’s affection, Ji Pianran’s heart finally settled down. She gave Gu Chen a shy smile, "Then lie down, and I’ll give you a massage."

Gu Chen had been waiting for the massage, so he promptly turned over to expose his entire back, while Ji Pianran sat at the edge of the bed in a slight position, sidewise, and started to massage Gu Chen.

Her hands were very soft and carried a slight chill, her strength also just right, pressing on his shoulders couldn’t have been more comfortable.

Gu Chen was surprised in his comfort, "Have you learned this from someone?"

It was just too comfortable.

Ji Pianran, sitting sideways and very close to him already, spoke with her warm breath hitting directly on his back.

"No, Aunt Zhang is getting older and often has back and shoulder pain, sometimes I just help her massage a bit; over time, I’ve naturally gained some experience."

At this moment, Gu Chen felt all the fatigue in his body fade away, and he was in high spirits.

He asked for more, unable to resist, "Hit it a couple more times; hitting it feels good."

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran obediently clenched her little fists and gently tapped Gu Chen’s shoulders and neck.

Tangtang, who was already having trouble sleeping, heard the two people talking back and forth, tilted her head, and her round, innocent eyes immediately looked over at them.

Seeing her mom hitting her dad, she immediately sat up.

Her face filled with tension, "Mommy can’t!"

How could she hit Daddy!

No, she couldn’t!

Nobody in this world is allowed to bully Daddy!

Having said that, she even pounced onto Gu Chen’s body; she absolutely wouldn’t allow Mommy to bully Daddy!

She had to protect Daddy!

Seeing this, Ji Pianran hurriedly explained softly.

"Mommy isn’t hitting Daddy; I’m giving Daddy a massage. Daddy is tired, and massaging will help him rest better."

Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh, turned his head around, and joined Ji Pianran in explaining, "Yeah, Mommy isn’t hitting Daddy; she is giving Daddy a massage."

The little one was young and didn’t understand what a massage was, but since Mommy and Daddy said so,

she roughly understood the meaning of massage.

"Then I want to help Daddy massage too!"

If Daddy was tired, she wanted to help Daddy massage too!

After saying that, Tangtang, with her soft little body, climbed up from Gu Chen’s body and sat on him, mimicking Ji Pianran’s actions, stretching out her little fists and gently punching Daddy’s body.

"Daddy, does this feel good?"

Gu Chen was at his wit’s end.

Having been reborn for over a month now, nurturing a relationship for that long, just when it was about to culminate, was his daughter really stirring trouble at such a crucial time?

Indeed, with a child around, a couple finding time to do something was truly difficult.

But this was, after all, his daughter’s way of showing love for him.

He really couldn’t refuse his daughter’s wishes.

"Good, good, Tangtang’s massage feels good too, but it’s time for Tangtang to sleep. Why not let Mommy continue to massage Daddy?" he suggested gently.

Hearing this, the little one shook her head and sincerely said, "No, I massage better than Mommy."

She really wanted to help Daddy massage!

Gu Chen was speechless, truly.

Who could blame her, his little lover from a past life, what could he do?

He let out a wry smile, "Okay, then Tangtang give a quick massage and go to sleep quickly, alright?"

Hearing his dad asking for a massage, the little fellow nodded excitedly, his voice clear and crisp, "Okay!"

At this moment, Ji Pianran had nothing to do, so she simply lay down next to Gu Zhi, watching him from the side with an expression on her face that seemed a bit like taking joy in his misfortune.

"It’s not that I don’t want to massage you, it’s your daughter who won’t let me."

Gu Zhi really was at a loss for words.

He pursed his lips and let Tangtang’s little fists thump against his back.

Ji Pianran hadn’t slept well last night either, and now as soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep within minutes.

Her long eyelashes lay on her eyelids and her delicate features, tight and fair skin gleamed, with her jet-black hair spread out on the pillow.

Tangtang was still young after all, and after helping dad for a few moments, she ran out of strength. She pouted and acted spoiled, "Daddy, you should ask mommy to massage."

Gu Zhi: "...."

How could he have the heart to wake Ji Pianran up?

Gu Zhi comforted himself that it was okay, it was only their first night sharing a bed, and they would probably stay in Guangzhou for about a week. There was plenty of time, and sooner or later, he would have a foot in the door!

Gu Zhi shifted his body and cuddled the little one in his arms and began to tell her the story of the little duck.

...

The next morning, Gu Zhi woke up early while Tangtang and Ji Pianran were still asleep.

He went to the bathroom, quickly freshened up, and then entered the space.

The cherries and goji berries had already fallen to the ground, and the newly planted Lingzhi had grown even bigger.

Looking at everything in this space, he deeply understood that these were his tools for cashing in.

After watering every crop, he stepped out of the space.

By this time, it was already past seven o’clock, and Gu Zhi planned to wake up the mother and daughter to go out for breakfast.

He had transferred the money the day before, and it would take at least two more days before he could send another three thousand to the other side, letting them know that it was his headhunting fee.

If he did it too soon, he worried the other party might become suspicious.

If they got suspicious, it would inevitably delay things. The crops back in the village were still growing, and the goods still had to be delivered.

If nothing went wrong, Qiao Hua should have gotten the business license sorted out today.

Everything was waiting for him; he really couldn’t afford to waste any time.

He had to go back and make money!

Gu Zhi walked over and sat down at the edge of the bed. Ji Pianran was sleeping soundly at that time, and Gu Zhi couldn’t help but reach out and touch her tight face, his fingertips brushing her lips.

Her lips were moist, soft, and the touch was all too good.

Feeling something brush her mouth, Ji Pianran, in a daze, stuck out her pink tongue and licked it, closed her eyes again, and drifted back to sleep.

Looking at his wife’s endearingly tempting appearance, he felt a tremor in his heart and couldn’t resist leaning down over her.

His kiss was fiery, instant.

Ji Pianran’s heart uncontrollably began to throb.

She knew, it was Gu Zhi.

Her mind lost the ability to think.

A pair of slender, snowy arms extended out from under the covers, wrapped around Gu Zhi’s neck, and pulled him closer.

Their heartbeats stacked one upon the other.

Becoming more intense with each passing moment.

...

The sun outside was beautiful today, a rare sight in Huacheng.

In a nondescript business room in the narrow paths of the suburbs, screams could be heard.

Gu Zhigang shrank in the corner, pleading with a crying voice with the burly men in front of him, trembling, "Please let me go, I don’t want the money, I just want to go home..."
