Chapter 582: Gu Yuan Through the Photographer’s Lens (2)

Chi Yu answered naturally: "My wife is so beautiful, who else would be mesmerized but me?"

Then he asked, "Are you mesmerized by my wife?"

The photographer shook his head vigorously, about to say no, but quickly realized he shouldn’t say he wasn’t mesmerized, but should answer: "I didn’t notice, I was just focused on adjusting the camera lens."

Nice!

The answer was perfect!

Chi Yu’s expression was indeed normal.

However, the photographer suddenly had a lapse and asked a cheeky question: "Isn’t President Gu your ex-wife? Why do you keep calling her your wife?"

Chi Yu: "..."

Unable to explain, Chi Yu gave the photographer a look to figure it out himself, then stepped toward the pavilion.

There were only about five or six people under the pavilion, including Gu Yuan.

Chi Yu didn’t care so much, he walked over and leaned against Gu Yuan, his tone accompanied by some minor complaints: "Before you left, you said you’d just stay outside, so why did you come here? I had a hard time finding you, even fell on the way."

The photographer standing behind: "...It was me who fell, alright?"

Gu Yuan hadn’t spoken yet.

The villagers from Ancient Water Village sitting around were looking toward Chi Yu behind her.

Aunt Wang at the forefront asked: "Yanyan, is that your husband?"

"Yeah." Gu Yuan replied with a smile, then nudged the man behind her with her elbow, signaling him to be more proper.

After a few nudges, the man behind her not only did not step away but leaned in even more.

Hearing her affirmation, the villagers showed friendly smiles, occasionally eyeing Chi Yu.

Aunt Wang said: "Your husband is quite handsome."

Pausing, she added: "Just a bit thin, doesn’t look very sturdy." And then gave Gu Yuan a knowing woman’s look: "A man needs to be more robust, surely he doesn’t eat enough. Yanyan, you must look after your husband’s appetite."

Aunt Wang’s words were village women’s typical playful but harmless jokes; Gu Yuan completely understood.

Not only understanding, with everyone listening, she felt her cheeks slightly warm.

As for Chi Yu, she clearly knew how capable he was.

However, she naturally couldn’t say such things, she just nodded in agreement with Aunt Wang: "Yeah, he’s usually too busy, I’ll take care of it from now on."

Aunt Wang beamed with joy.

Chi Yu didn’t quite grasp what ’husband’ meant, but he understood the latter part. After Gu Yuan’s third elbow nudge, he finally released his hold on her and looked towards the group of curious ladies.

The village didn’t have the sound system for square dance music; after dinner, people gathered to chat about life, from the village entrance to the end, from the mountain top to the base, Chi Yu couldn’t believe Gu Yuan was interested in these topics.

Although he was no longer clinging to Gu Yuan, his hand was still on her slender waist.

Gu Yuan introduced each person and how to address them.

He followed Gu Yuan’s introductions and addressed each person one by one.

After the introductions, he whispered in Gu Yuan’s ear: "What does ’husband’ mean?"

He had only heard about ’couple,’ but hadn’t connected the two.

Gu Yuan solemnly bluffed: "It means ’shut your mouth.’

Chi Yu: ?

So these ladies thought he was chatty?

He had just arrived, and they already wanted him to shut up. Were they serious?

Apparently, he wasn’t welcomed wherever he went.

Though Chi Yu felt displeased, he showed nothing of it and mentally told himself to shut up, since he had nothing to say to them anyhow.

Beside Aunt Wang, Aunt Li chimed in: "They say feelings tend to fade after having kids, but look at you two, even after your child is three and running errands, you are still very much in love. That’s truly wonderful."

Chi Yu listened keenly to this.

His mouth, previously shut, let words escape, answering for Gu Yuan: "Not only are we in love now, but our feelings will only grow stronger."

This comment incited giggles from the ladies.

Gu Yuan kept her smile intact.

Polite and appealing men were always the ideal son-in-law in these women’s eyes, but the fact was clear that he was Yanyan’s husband, yet they didn’t feel regrets.

Because everyone liked Yanyan, and such an excellent girl deserved a matching partner.

Aunt Wang carried on, starting to urge them to have a second child.

Gu Yuan replied: "No hurry, Suisui is still young."

Aunt Li smiled and said: "It’s best if the ages aren’t too far apart; now’s a good time for a second child."

Chi Yu remained silent on the side, observing Gu Yuan’s reaction.

While watching, he thought these women, despite being chatty, each had wisdom in their words.
