Countering the "Green Tea" with Perfect Coordination

Seeing that no one around was paying attention and everyone was busy, Li Feifei boldly approached Gu Si.

Her voice was soft and carried a hint of grievance, mixed with a slight sob.

If it were anyone else, they would have been moved long ago.

But Gu Si was as stiff as a block of wood, not swayed in the slightest. He pretended not to hear and focused solely on his work.

Li Feifei bit her lip and risked grabbing his sleeve.

"Brother Gu Si, are you still mad at me? If you are, then hit me. As long as you stop being angry, you can do anything to me."

As soon as she finished, she tried to grab Gu Si's hand.

Finally, Gu Si looked up.

"What you said that day truly had a negative impact on me and my wife. If you really want to apologize, then go before the Village Head and the Village Secretary and perform a public self-criticism, instead of lingering here with me and making others think there's something wrong with your character."

His voice was cold and distant, even carrying a few hints of disgust.

Li Feifei had never been rejected so bluntly by a man; her face instantly turned pale.

After speaking, Gu Si didn't give her a single glance, turning to walk toward where there were more people.

A clear child's voice called him back: "Dad! We brought hawthorn tea for you!"

The two little ones came trotting up to him.

Gu Si instinctively looked into the distance. Seeing the familiar white-clothed figure, his brow relaxed.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Gu Si, carrying his two little "leg accessories," walked toward Du Yuerao.

"In the future, if you make refreshing water, just let me bring it. It's too sunny in the fields; it's hard on you to make the trip."

Du Yuerao shook her head slightly, her gaze casually sweeping over Li Feifei behind him.

"Did I come at the wrong time? Did I interrupt your conversation?"

Li Feifei's face turned red, and she lowered her head to apologize: "Sister Du, I'm sorry you misunderstood. Brother Gu Si and I were just talking normally."

A normal person seeing this scene would find it hard not to suspect something between her and their man. Facing Li Feifei's headache-inducing "Green Tea" explanation, Du Yuerao frowned slightly and let out a "hmpf."

"You call me Sister, and you call my man Brother. What? In your heart, are he and I not one family?"

Du Yuerao's question was so sharp that Li Feifei was stunned for several seconds before she could react.

With a forced smile, she finally called out: "Sister-in-law..."

Du Yuerao nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Gu Si spoke up: "Don't go claiming relatives randomly. I only have one younger sister, Gu Wan."

The couple's perfect coordination made Li Feifei's expression extremely ugly, and she froze in place.

Du Yuerao had to try very hard not to burst out laughing. Indeed, only a blunt man could deal with a Green Tea.

She ignored Li Feifei, opened the bottle of hawthorn tea she had brought, and handed it to Gu Si.

"Taste it. Your son tasted it and even praised it."

"That's right, Dad! Taste it, it's delicious, really sweet!"

Gu Si took a large gulp. Under the expectant gazes of Du Yuerao and the twins, he nodded, his eyes lingering on Du Yuerao.

"It's a bit sour."

"Complaining it's sour? Then I'll take it for someone else to drink."

How could Du Yuerao not hear the meaning behind his words? She gave a light huff and walked toward the elder Gus.

Gu Si immediately chased after her, no longer showing any of his usual cold, murderous aura as if he were rejecting the whole world.

Li Feifei watched the scene before her, clenching her teeth so hard they almost broke.

It must be because Gu Si saw Du Yuerao's figure that he intentionally said those words to her.

Usually at work, Gu Si's gaze would also accidentally linger on her; there must be a place for her in his heart.

No man could refuse a woman who actively threw herself at him; Gu Si was no exception.

It's just... that's right!

Li Feifei suddenly remembered Gu Si mentioning the issue of conduct.

Then it was best not to show too much in front of others. She began to calculate in her head how she could meet him privately.

In any case, whatever belonged to Du Yuerao, she had to steal it back.

***

After dinner, Du Yuerao went into the inner room. Under the candlelight, she sat studying how to teach the two children to read.

The two little ones were at the age where they should learn to read and write. Du Yuerao understood very well that education was extremely important for a person's future.
