Chapter 281: 281 Ji Pianran is Learning Bad Habits! _1

With a tense face, he said, "I, I was not looking at you, okay? So you’re handsome, what’s the big deal?"

This guy clearly knows he’s good-looking and still does this on purpose. He’s really too bad!

Gu Chen was stunned.

He never expected the always composed Ji Pianran to actually compliment his looks.

This was the first time she had ever said he was handsome.

In fact, Ji Pianran had just spoken out of a slip of the tongue.

Seeing Gu Chen’s reaction, she was first taken aback for a moment, and then her heart was completely overtaken by joy.

She raised an eyebrow and took a careful look at Gu Chen’s face.

Is this shyness?

Gu Chen could actually be shy?

Serves him right!

Who asked him to always tease her?

But he also often felt this way!

Gu Chen, seeing the face coming closer to him, was utterly astonished, and his eyes couldn’t help but widen slightly.

What is she going to do?

His body subconsciously stepped back.

Seeing this, Ji Pianran smiled triumphantly and then walked forward with her hands behind her back.

Gu Chen took a deep breath and only after a long while did he catch up.

This girl is getting naughtier and naughtier!

He had to show her who’s boss!

The two of them finished buying clothes and went downstairs to pick up Tangtang.

The little guy was jumping so joyfully on the trampoline with his friends.

He was sweating all over; even the hair at the back of his neck was wet from sweat.

But his youthful little face was filled with unprecedented happiness.

He really liked playing with other kids.

Ji Pianran called out to him several times from outside the fence, but Tangtang was having too much fun to hear.

Having no other choice, Gu Chen had to take off his shoes and go in to pick up the little guy.

When Tangtang saw Daddy, he finally stopped and climbed down from the trampoline, saying in a baby voice, "Daddy, can Tangtang play a little longer?"

It was not easy to find such a fun place; he really didn’t want to leave.

Seeing his daughter enjoying the place, Gu Chen felt a little guilty and also blamed himself.

It seems that he still isn’t making enough money.

He had to move to Haicheng as soon as possible.

After all, Haicheng is a big city. Although it’s not as good as Huacheng, it is still better than the countryside, where there are no places to play, with only sand, dirt, and coal piles as entertainment.

He smiled and opened his arms to Tangtang, shaking his head apologetically, "No, Daddy has something to do later. Tangtang should go home with Mommy first, and we’ll come here again tomorrow, okay?"

Although Tangtang loved to play, he didn’t throw a fit when he heard Daddy say this.

He just pursed his lips, took a reluctant look back, and then agreed in a muffled voice.

"Okay."

After saying that, he wrapped his hands around Daddy’s neck.

"Then Daddy has to remember to bring Tangtang here to play again tomorrow~"

Gu Chen picked up Tangtang and walked out, nodding vigorously as he went, "Okay!"

Seeing his daughter’s obedient demeanor, Gu Chen was even more determined. Once they got back, he’d buy a house in Haicheng!

He might as well build an amusement park if it came to that!

Big cities really are different; they have a lot of fun that the countryside doesn’t, and besides, the kid is almost three years old and ready for kindergarten. Living in the village isn’t ideal.

But all of this still depends on having enough money.

Real estate in Haicheng isn’t considered expensive, but it still costs two thousand yuan per square meter.

If you want to buy a 140-square-meter place, that’s still 280,000 yuan. Factoring in decorations, it’s easily another 80,000 yuan.

So to be safe, I should at least keep four hundred thousand yuan for myself.

Starting a company will require at least another hundred thousand for working capital.

And there’s the capital needed to stock affordable fruit, another hundred thousand is needed for that.

Considering Huacheng’s current real estate prices, this building would probably cost at least twenty million. He squinted his eyes, looking like he had to find a way to bring the price down.

At least by six hundred thousand.

This is Huacheng’s business district where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold.

It’s not going to be easy to negotiate down six hundred thousand. I’ll have to think carefully about this.

...

After leaving the clothing market, the family of three carried their large and small bags, prepared to head back. Gu Chen originally planned to solve the dinner problem for the two of them before leaving, but unexpectedly, as soon as Tiantian got in the car, she fell asleep again.

She really exhausted herself playing at the amusement park.

Gu Chen, holding his daughter, helplessly glanced at his wife beside him.

"How about this, I go downstairs and get you something to eat, you eat first. If Tiantian gets hungry, just give her some bread to fill her stomach, and when I come back later, I’ll take you out for something delicious, alright?" he said, with a distinct baby-talking vibe.

Seeing this, Ji Pianran couldn’t help but want to laugh a little.

"Don’t worry, I’m not a child. I can take care of myself."

Gu Chen pouted, "How are you not a child? I feel like I have two daughters, one big, one small."

Although Ji Pianran wasn’t his daughter, whenever he saw her, he couldn’t help but spoil her.

He worried if she didn’t eat well, if she didn’t dress warmly, if she got tired, if she fell ill, if she was unhappy...

Thinking about it, it really was like looking after his own daughter.

Watching Gu Chen act so sillily, Ji Pianran’s face was full of helplessness, feeling both exasperated and amused at heart,

She felt like she was being bullied.

She immediately grabbed Gu Chen’s hand, baring her teeth and pretending to viciously bite him, to teach him a lesson.

Gu Chen didn’t dodge, boldly sticking his arm by her rosy lips.

His eyes seemed to hide shimmering fragments of stars, bright and beautiful.

The smile at the bottom of his eyes was warm and pure.

"Go on, bite," he said.

He bet that Ji Pianran wouldn’t go through with it, but even if she actually bit him, it wouldn’t matter. Bitten by his wife, the pain is on the body, but sweetness in the heart.

Just as Gu Chen had thought, Ji Pianran really couldn’t bring herself to do it.

She only intended to scare Gu Chen a little, but he had boldly offered his arm for her to bite.

Gu Chen’s skin wasn’t very white, but he always smelled of soapberries, which was clean and comforting.

She really didn’t have the heart to bite him.

But facing Gu Chen’s obvious provocation, she couldn’t bring herself to bite, yet she felt too stubborn to let it go.

So, tentatively, she opened her mouth. Even if she wouldn’t bite, she had to scare him a little.

There was no help for it, her nature was to be perverse and stubborn.

She opened her mouth, feigning fierceness, inching closer and closer to Gu Chen’s arm.

The ferocity that Ji Pianran imagined was maybe convincing enough to scare Tiantian.

In Gu Chen’s eyes, it was completely harmless, without any threat, and it was even a bit cute.

He suddenly thrust his arm towards Ji Pianran’s mouth.

"Bite..." he said.

Before he could finish, he felt a soft and cool little thing lightly graze his arm.

This sensation was truly marvelous.

In an instant, Gu Chen felt as if an electric current passed through his body, causing a faint tingling sensation.
