Chapter 83: Chapter 74 She is the Little Candy He Loves to Eat

Men and women, as creatures of love, have always manifested differently throughout history.

There are many faithless men, and too few devoted lovers.

Bei Ran naturally used this phrase to hint at Gu Qingchen’s reaction, believing that this man must understand what she meant!

Gu Qingchen is also an old fox with a thousand years of cultivation; he gazed at her, "I hope they can be together, so I asked you to plan and host."

Bei Ran’s lips curved slightly; she understood it as his envy of couples who grow old together.

The two went to Seafood City for seafood and then wandered the night market together.

Bei Ran linked arms with her, strolling down the street at an unhurried pace like the most ordinary couple.

"There’s someone making sugar figures up ahead!" Bei Ran exclaimed excitedly, "Do you see it?"

Gu Qingchen glanced at her; wasn’t that something only children liked? Was she really that excited?

Bei Ran didn’t care about him and pulled him over to the sugar figure seller, and because there were people in line, they stood there and queued up.

"When I was little, I asked my mom why I didn’t have a father?" Bei Ran looked at Gu Qingchen and whispered, "My mom said that my dad was a sugar blower, so whenever I went to the street and saw one, I’d call them ’dad’..."

Gu Qingchen had never heard her mention her family before, "What about your father?"

"I’ve never met him, nor do I know what he looks like!" Bei Ran said with a light smile; she was a child who longed for a father as well! It’s just, she had learned how to adjust her mindset early on; if she didn’t have one, then so be it.

However, she didn’t want little fish to follow in her footsteps, so she wanted to clarify the relationship between little fish and Gu Qingchen.

But, contrary to her wishes, little fish ultimately had no fate of becoming father and daughter with him!

It was always Bei Ran holding onto Gu Qingchen’s arm, and at this moment, he reached out and took her little hand.

Though they’d been husband and wife for four years, he’d never pried into her family matters, nor asked how she spent her money.

His grip on her soft and tender hand, as smooth as scallion segments, the warmth in his palm, like trickling water, slowly seeped into Bei Ran’s fingertips and spread to her heart.

They were both mature individuals, not needing to constantly speak anyone else’s name or offer contrived words of comfort.

But a supportive glance, the warmth between fingers, were enough to express the depth of their feelings.

Bei Ran could certainly feel his affection; she liked his care for her, not just his jealous behavior when competing with Tang Baijin, but also the constant, gentle presence in everyday life.

"Just teasing you!" Bei Ran tiptoed and whispered in his ear: "Did you really believe it?"

Gu Qingchen glared at her; she was always mixing truth with fiction, masterfully concealing her sorrow like a fog.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Bei Ran held on tight, then looked up at him with a smile, "Make a sugar figure as beautiful as me to eat, okay?"

She was willing to be his beautiful sugar figure, not only good-looking but also delicious.

Gu Qingchen gave her a look, which was a silent agreement.

"Master, you can do it, right?" Bei Ran asked with a smile.

The sugar figure master smiled too: "Sure, no problem!"

Soon, the sugar figure master blew a sugar figure that looked just like Bei Ran, with a graceful figure and beautiful features, brought to life in front of her eyes.

After Gu Qingchen paid, Bei Ran took the sugar figure that looked just like her and swayed it in front of him, "Want a taste?"

"For you to eat!" Gu Qingchen’s tone was indulgent.

"No way!" Bei Ran said, "Who eats themselves? If I were to eat, I’d eat you..."

Her face turned red as she said the word "eat".

Although the lights on this night market street were not bright enough, Gu Qingchen still noticed the blush on her cheeks.

Gu Qingchen held her little wrist, bringing the sugar figure to his lips, ambiguously saying, "If I don’t eat, I would not be loving Mrs. Gu properly!"

"It’s sweet..." Gu Qingchen hinted further, "Come on, you take a taste too..."

Bei Ran quickly ran forward, "You get the master to make one of you, and I promise to eat it up bite by bite..."

Gu Qingchen was holding a small sugar figurine, following behind her with composed restraint, savoring the rare sight of her occasional mischievousness, which revealed her adorable side.

Bei Ran ran a few steps, then turned around, walking backwards, waiting for him to catch up, looking at his celestial-like handsome appearance, unbeatable, yet holding a small sugar figurine which, despite his elegance, added a touch of worldly flavor.

It was only when Gu Qingchen came closer that she noticed the figurine’s chest was gone...

"Why did you only eat this part?" Bei Ran asked him, her eyes filled with shy coquettishness.

Gu Qingchen’s brows arched up, and he replied seriously, "I thought you knew where my favorite spot to eat is!"

Bei Ran: "..."

In fact, she really liked it when he spoke seriously, sometimes saying naughty things with unabashed boldness!

"Let’s go, wifey, it’s time to eat at home!" Gu Qingchen reached out to take her hand, heading towards the parking lot.

Bei Ran matched his pace, walking through the bustling street market, with one of his large hands holding her smaller one, the other holding a sugar figurine that resembled her.

"By the way, do you know the origin of sugar blowing?" Bei Ran asked him, smiling.

Gu Qingchen lowered his gaze to look at her. Even though he wasn’t sure if what she said about her father was true or false, seeing her hide her unhappiness and only showing him her happy side made him respond with sincerity, "I really don’t know!"

"Well, you better listen up!" Bei Ran continued as they walked along, "It is said that the progenitor of sugar blowing is Liu Bowen, also known as the Think Tank during the era when Zhu Yuanzhang became Emperor. After Zhu Yuanzhang secured his reign, he started a massive purge dubbed ’once the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked,’ killing many of his founding generals. Liu Bowen narrowly escaped, thanks to an encounter with a vendor selling molten sugar. The two switched identities, and from then on, Liu Bowen took up the craft. Through his own refinement process, after heating sugar, he was able to blow it into shapes of people or animals, which became very popular among children, and this tradition has lasted over six hundred years until today."

As Gu Qingchen listened to her recount these tales, a light smile played on his face. After hearing her out, he finally said, "It’s indeed quite popular with kids, but does my Mrs. Gu like it too?"

"If you don’t like it, then give it to me!" Bei Ran reached out to grab it!

However, Gu Qingchen’s movements weren’t quick, yet Bei Ran still couldn’t snatch it away!

She stood on her tiptoes, huffing and puffing as she looked up at him!

Gu Qingchen replied, "Behave, and I’ll eat it for you when we get home!"

This time, he emphasized the word "eat," pushing the innuendo to a peak.

Bei Ran huffed and shifted her gaze ahead, where not far away someone was playing with toy models: "Wow, look at that, someone’s flying a model plane!"

"Do you like it?" Gu Qingchen was rather surprised.

It seemed that his Mrs. Gu liked things that both women and men enjoyed, including toys that men usually were fond of!

Typically, there were fewer girls who played with model planes.

Bei Ran looked at him, actually it was mainly Bei Dafish, her son, who loved model airplanes and luxury cruise ships, really enjoyed buying them to assemble at home.

And as for her own level of interest? "It’s okay, I guess!"

But Gu Qingchen seemed intrigued, "Let’s go, we’ll buy a luxury cruise ship model and build it at home!"

Bei Ran: "..."

So Bei Dafish and he liked the same thing!

After a brief burst of delight, she felt a sense of loss. The DNA proof had already come out; what was she still hoping for?

Yet, Gu Qingchen had already placed the sugar figurine in her palm, and then went on to buy several toy model kits, placing them in his car.

After the two of them arrived home, he tossed her a bunch of parts: "Bei Ran, let’s start assembling the deck!"

Bei Ran sat down, "Alright, let’s see who can do it faster!"

"You certainly can’t beat me!" Gu Qingchen said, "Before I held a scalpel, I practiced this to improve dexterity, speed, and mental agility."

Bei Ran looked at him, wide-eyed. She had initially thought that Gu Qingchen was just a playful big kid.

However, to her surprise, Gu Qingchen’s kind of "play" was to further his work!

He was trained for his profession, and she definitely couldn’t outmatch him!

In this moment, nevertheless, Gu Qingchen’s lips curled in a wicked smile: "Whoever loses has to obediently make a sugar figurine and let the other person lick and eat it..."

"Hmph, I definitely won’t lose!" Bei Ran immediately started working; no way she would let him have such an easy win!
