Chapter 49 Improper Affairs
Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Improper Affairs
Seeing Gu Fuqiao so adamant, Ouyang Qing was almost driven crazy, but given the situation, she had no way to explain.
Gu Fuqiao turned her head and said to the army wives, "I apologize for today."
"It’s fine, it’s probably just the youngsters squabbling. We’ll leave now." With Gu Fuqiao speaking like that, the family members were embarrassed to keep watching, so they said a couple of things and left. Once these people left,
Su Jili said to Gu Fuqiao, "I really didn’t expect your sister to be so bold. I think she might not be able to get married in the future."
"What nonsense are you spouting! It’s more likely that people like you will stay single forever!" Ouyang Qing retorted, attempting to hit Su Jili again, but this time her hand was directly seized by Gu Fuqiao.
Gu Fuqiao gave her a cold glance and said, "Enough? It was you who spied on Su Jili and made a scene. What more do you want to do? Keep making a fuss so everyone knows you have a boyfriend in the military district?"
If this matter reached the Gu Family, even if Mother Gu loved her dearly, the fact that gossip can spread like wildfire would leave her speechless.
Seeing Gu Fuqiao like this, Su Jili clapped his hands and said, "Well said! Keep being so reckless, and you might not find a parental home in the future!" With that, Su Jili bid farewell to Gu Fuqiao and went back to the cafeteria.
Once Su Jili left, Gu Fuqiao released Ouyang Qing’s hand, moved closer, and earnestly said, "Things have blown out of proportion, you better go back and lay low. These spouses are quite formidable at gossiping."
Ouyang Qing had already seen the army wives’ demeanor; though they were silent, their eyes seemed to be calculating something, likely pointing fingers at her behind her back.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Qing didn’t want to stay in this place any longer, she cast a hateful glance at Gu Fuqiao and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"
"You’re welcome." Gu Fuqiao smiled mischievously.
After the incident, Ouyang Qing packed her things and returned to the Gu Family. When Yan Zhen Guo returned home in the evening, only Gu Fuqiao was leisurely sitting at the dining table with a book.
Yan Zhen Guo saw there was no food on the table, his eyes slightly narrowed, "Where’s dinner?"
After Ouyang Qing left, in celebration, she specifically found two nice books to read, totally forgetting about cooking, "I forgot, but there’s some leftover food in the house, do you want to settle with that?"
Gu Fuqiao watched as Yan Zhen Guo stood at the doorway, unmoving, remembering King Yan didn’t like her being so lazy. Fine! Time to get up and cook! She put away the book on the table and walked into the kitchen to have a look.
Ouyang Qing hadn’t yet used up all the vegetables she bought today, only the empty heart greens had suffered any loss, the other vegetables were fine, and the fish in the basin was still swimming leisurely. Gu Fuqiao remembered there was a pickle jar in the house, if there were pickles inside, she could make pickled fish.
She put her hand in the basin to catch the fish, but it was nimble; as soon as she touched the fish’s back, it swam away quickly. The basin wasn’t big, so catching it was feasible, though she’d never killed a fish before. Luckily, Yan Zhen Guo came in right then, and she waved at him, "Brother, a little help, with this fish?"
Yan Zhen Guo watched Gu Fuqiao crouching by the basin with a raised eyebrow, and said with a hint of skepticism in his voice, "You know how to make fish?"
Gu Fuqiao knew Yan Zhen Guo was blatantly doubting her abilities! She turned her head and said, "Of course I do, hurry up so I can cook." With that, she stood up to wash some rice first.
As she was rinsing the rice, Yan Zhen Guo took action, pulling the fish out of the basin and putting it on the chopping board. Holding the fish’s back with one hand and a kitchen knife with the other, he swiftly chopped down! A loud bang was heard, and the fish was split in two, with a mixture of blood and water flying from the knife’s impact.
Gu Fuqiao watched as the fish’s eyes hadn’t even closed before Yan Zhen Guo chopped it in half.
As Yan Zhen Guo raised the knife preparing to butcher the fish further, Gu Fuqiao was frightened, fearing he’d turn the fish into mince, making dinner impossible! She hurried over and grabbed the knife from Yan Zhen Guo’s hand, "Stop."
Yan Zhen Guo looked at her puzzlingly, "Can you handle this fish?"
"You’ve already killed it, of course I can handle it." Gu Fuqiao pointed to the fish split in half on the chopping board.
Yan Zhen Guo thought for a moment and offered, "It’s getting late, I’ll help, otherwise it’ll be really late before we eat."
"No need." Gu Fuqiao hid the knife behind her, as timely dining was secondary, preventing Yan Zhen Guo from turning the fish into bits was primary.
Today, when she saw the fish at the market, she was eager to try making it herself. After coming to this era, although the cafeteria food was passable, it was far from the full-flavored dishes of her own time.
Seeing Yan Zhen Guo’s tall figure still standing in the kitchen, she understood he genuinely wanted to help, but with Yan Zhen Guo’s skill in boiling noodles and chopping fish... Gu Fuqiao dared not let him handle major tasks.
She sighed softly, "I’ll slice the fish later, it’s delicate work, let me handle it. You go light the fire, so we don’t delay any further."
This arrangement seemed reasonable to Yan Zhen Guo, so he moved behind the stove to kindle the fire.
After cooking the rice, Gu Fuqiao put it in a wooden bucket to steam, washed the pickles from the pickle jar, sliced them finely, and set them aside. She boiled a pot of fish soup, added the fish head, and once the fish head was cooked, added fish slices.
Yan Zhen Guo sat behind the stove watching the busy little woman, his lips curved into a slight smile. "Did you chase your cousin away today?"
Yan Zhen Guo’s sudden remark nearly scared Gu Fuqiao to death, she looked up at Yan Zhen Guo behind the stove and asked, "How did you know that?"
Yan Zhen Guo remained silent, with an expression suggesting he knew what she was thinking.
Gu Fuqiao decided to let it go, crossing her arms and saying, "Since you figured it out, I won’t say much more. I’m just protecting you."
"Protecting me?" Yan Zhen Guo didn’t expect that answer, and he seemed puzzled.
"Yes." Gu Fuqiao nodded, saying, "She attempted to tempt you into something wrong, and I decisively stopped her! So I’m protecting you!"
