After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 108 help you wash the dishes
Chapter 108: 108 help you wash the dishes
"It’s not about going to the hospital." Mother Gu laughed awkwardly when Gu Fuqiao asked this and said, "The doctor I found for you this time is really amazing. Normally, people seek him out, and he doesn’t necessarily make house calls."
Gu Fuqiao observed Mother Gu and decided not to interject, listening as Mother Gu continued, "It was through a recommendation from an acquaintance that I found out. Since you and Zhen Guo haven’t had children yet, I thought you might want to have a check-up."
"I’ve only been married to Zhen Guo for a short time, why such urgency?" Gu Fuqiao was in good health; she could easily guess that it was just an excuse Mother Gu concocted to coax her out. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
As to why Mother Gu wanted to coax her out, Gu Fuqiao was quite curious and wanted to know what Mother Gu was planning against her this time.
Mother Gu was stunned for a moment after hearing Gu Fuqiao, then said, "As parents, we can’t help but worry about our children. You’ve been married for some time, and only after you have children can your father and I feel at ease."
Gu Fuqiao raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "So where’s the doctor?"
Seeing that Gu Fuqiao didn’t ask anything else, Mother Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The doctor is a traveling practitioner. I once consulted him before, and this time he’s in C City for only two days, then he’ll be headed back to the Capital. So when I came today, I met him briefly. He said he’s available tomorrow afternoon, so you see."
Mother Gu looked at Gu Fuqiao with eyes full of expectation.
This face of a loving mother couldn’t be without ulterior motives.
Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "Alright, then I’ll go and check it out. But I don’t know the way, Mom, shouldn’t you take me?"
"Of course." Mother Gu nodded and said, "I know you don’t recognize the way, I’ll lead you there then. I’ll meet you at the Eastern Hotel tomorrow afternoon at two."
"Alright." Gu Fuqiao agreed without hesitation. She glanced at Mother Gu, saying, "Mom, it’s rare for you to visit, stay for dinner; Zhen Guo will be back soon after." After speaking, she got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Although Mother Gu hadn’t interacted much with Yan Zhen Guo, she instinctively had some aversion to soldiers...It’s not entirely correct to say aversion to soldiers; she instinctively feared Yan Zhen Guo.
Upon hearing Yan Zhen Guo’s name, she quickly stood up and said, "No, no, I have things to do at home. I won’t stay here for dinner." She then hurriedly walked out.
Gu Fuqiao feigned looking at Mother Gu’s back and said, "Stay for dinner, it’s rare to have you here."
"No, no." Mother Gu waved her hand and left her house.
Once Mother Gu left, Gu Fuqiao returned to the living room, took some pears Mother Gu brought, and put them in the kitchen. She scooped some cold water into a basin and then put two or three pears in to chill them.
After completing all of this, Gu Fuqiao quickly prepared some dishes. While she was frying vegetables, someone opened the door outside.
She glanced out, saw a touch of green cloth, and knew Yan Zhen Guo was back. So while continuing to fry vegetables, she said, "Come to the kitchen for a pear; I chilled them, they’re super delicious!" and kept her head down, focusing on the pan.
Yan Zhen Guo typically sweats after training, so he first went to the restroom for a quick rinse and then emerged feeling refreshed. He took a pear from the cold water, shook off the water, and took a bite.
"This pear is quite sweet. Where did you get it?" Yan Zhen Guo looked up at Gu Fuqiao and asked.
After tasting the dish in the pan and finding it satisfactory, Gu Fuqiao plated it and said, "My mom brought them."
After speaking, noticing Yan Zhen Guo didn’t respond, she put the food aside. With no more dishes to prepare, she filled the pot with water, looked at Yan Zhen Guo, and said, "Don’t you also find it weird? She’s always disliked me alone, yet she came to see me on her own and even brought fruit."
Yan Zhen Guo didn’t seem surprised at all; he took two bites of the pear, appearing ready to hear Gu Fuqiao tell a story.
Gu Fuqiao sighed and said, "This is a long story, let’s finish our meal first!" After speaking, she carried the plate with the intent to leave, but Yan Zhen Guo took the dish from her hands and walked out.
Watching Yan Zhen Guo’s back, Gu Fuqiao smiled. She liked someone who preferred actions over words—a commendable trait!
Since Yan Zhen Guo had taken the dishes, Gu Fuqiao went to serve the rice, prepared two bowls, and brought them out.
After having a couple of bites with Yan Zhen Guo, Gu Fuqiao glanced at him, noticing his straight back, serious face, and focus on eating as always.
He didn’t seem interested in what she had said earlier, leaving Gu Fuqiao somewhat stifled, but then again, she realized she hadn’t pointed out the mysterious aspect of it, so it was normal for Yan Zhen Guo to be unaware!
She quickly took a couple of bites and then put down her chopsticks with a dramatic clatter, saying, "Old Yan, this matter is immensely serious, so I must report it to you!"
"Yes." Yan Zhen Guo’s bowl was almost emptied. He served himself another bowl of rice and continued eating, looking as though he was waiting for her to speak.
Gu Fuqiao had thought it through; Mother Gu arranging a meeting was definitely not good news, so she had to share it with Yan Zhen Guo!
It’d be best to have Yan Zhen Guo assist her!
"Are you free tomorrow afternoon?" Initially considering Yan Zhen Guo’s busy schedule, she stood and walked over to sit beside him, asking.
Without hesitation, Yan Zhen Guo replied, "I have an hour available between 2:30 and 3:30 tomorrow afternoon."
2:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon...perfect timing! Mother Gu had arranged to meet her at 3 in the afternoon, right? This worked out well.
Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "Perfect timing! My mom planned to meet me at 3 at a hotel. I suspect she has some hidden secrets, but going there alone feels risky. If you’re available, accompanying me would be great! This way, no unexpected incidents can happen."
After she spoke, she eagerly looked at Yan Zhen Guo, somewhat worried he might disagree, considering how laid-back Yan Zhen Guo could be around her.
To her surprise, Yan Zhen Guo agreed right away, saying, "Alright. Tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, wait for me downstairs."
"Alright!" Gu Fuqiao promptly nodded.
To express gratitude to Yan Zhen Guo, Gu Fuqiao swiftly cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, eagerly washing the dishes with enthusiasm.
Just after finishing the dishes, she saw Yan Zhen Guo leaning against the doorway, saying, "You look worn out washing dishes, should I help you?"
Gu Fuqiao looked at Yan Zhen Guo’s approach with confusion and asked, "I’ve washed the dishes, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Yan Zhen Guo came closer, smiled, and said, "Yes, it was intentional."
