The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

To learn to ride a bicycle well, there's no special method other than practice makes perfect.

After practicing for a morning and an afternoon, Jiang's mother was finally able to ride her bicycle around the yard.

But before you can actually hit the road, you still have a lot of practice to do.

After arranging for her mother-in-law to go out for a one-hour bike ride every morning, Gao Qinghe set off with Jiang Baohai to the county town for their appointment.

The couple first drove to the hotel to pick up Gu Jingzhou, and then went to the Xiahai Western Restaurant for a meal.

Although Gu Jingzhou was the one treating, Jiang Baohai, a local, was the one who chose the place and ordered the food.

We're all from Southwest China, so our tastes are similar and we don't have any dietary restrictions.

Jiang Baohai ordered two local signature dishes and a steak for each of the three of them.

The main focus is on the fusion of East and West.

Gu Jingzhou didn't say anything, only thinking that as expected of a nouveau riche coal mine owner, even his style of ordering food was so fitting for his status.

"Don't you want something to drink?" Gu Jingzhou asked tentatively when he didn't see any drinks being served.

After all, Gao Qinghe had said yesterday that he would have to bleed money, and her wallet was specially stuffed full.

It was a way of indicating that she didn't need to be too frugal with herself.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Baohai glanced at his wife and said, "I won't drink since I'm driving, and Qinghe isn't in a good position to drink right now either."

What do you mean?
Gu Jingzhou looked at Gao Qinghe with suspicion.

Gao Qinghe lowered her eyes and smiled gently, "It's not very convenient during this special period."

Gu Jingzhou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

An incredulous gaze swept quickly across Gao Qinghe's stomach before landing on Jiang Baohai's handsome face, which concealed a hint of smugness.

Jiang Baohai feigned modesty, "Yes, I'm about to become a father."

Two months had passed, and three months was not far off, so Jiang Baohai felt there was no harm in revealing it in advance.

Gu Jingzhou remained silent for a moment, then ordered himself a glass of red wine.

He elegantly sliced ​​the steak with his knife, then suddenly said, "Congratulations!"

His expression was perfect, but his tone sounded somewhat menacing.

Complex gazes—a mixture of hesitation, regret, incomprehension, and respect—fell on Gao Qinghe time and again before being withdrawn.

Jiang Baohai found it strange; why was he so disliked by Gu Jingzhou?

Let's not dwell on the grudges and grievances from our past lives.

Wasn't it quite pleasant when the two of them first met?

Never mind, maybe they're in a bad mood today.

Jiang Baohai took the initiative to greet the elders of the Gu family, which surprised Gu Jingzhou. He didn't know that his parents had actually given red envelopes to Gao Qinghe and the other person.

However, thinking of his elders at home, his expression softened, and he chatted politely for a few minutes.

Gao Qinghe was busy eating and barely spoke during the first half of the game.

Jiang Baohai chatted with Gu Jingzhou while also taking care of his wife.

Decades of interaction in our past lives have long since ingrained subconscious habits.

Before Gao Qinghe could even speak, hot water was already placed in front of her.

Before she could even say she wanted to wipe her mouth, a clean napkin was offered to her and wiped it away for her.

Needless to say, when it came to serving food, Jiang Baohai would take the steak, cut it into small pieces, and then bring it to her.

If she's full and doesn't want to get tired of eating, I immediately put fruit on her plate, just a bite's worth, because she'll feel full if she eats too much.

Finally, he wanted to have a couple more sips of hot soup, but Jiang Baohai skimmed off all the oil with a spoon, stirred it until it was cool enough to drink, and said, "Just two sips, any more and you'll exceed your limit for today."

Gao Qinghe said, not very happily, "I know."

Jiang Baohai didn't believe her "I know" at all. When she was craving something, she didn't care about anything else. He had been fooled several times in his past life.

In the end, it was always him who helped massage her stomach for half an hour before it felt better.
Gu Jingzhou suddenly felt that the meat on his fork was a bit greasy.

He is full.

I've had my fill of watching that lovey-dovey couple across the way!
Gu Jingzhou had met many couples and also seen gentlemen who took special care of their partners at the dinner table.

But this was the first time Gu Jingzhou had ever seen someone treat Jiang Baohai like a useless person. Gu Jingzhou had no doubt that if Gao Qinghe hadn't been so disgusted, Jiang Baohai would have chewed the food up and fed it to her mouth-to-mouth.

"Do you two do this every day?" Gu Jingzhou asked tentatively. He needed to confirm that Jiang Baohai wasn't deliberately being clingy.

Jiang Baohai replied naturally, "No, such opportunities are rare."

If he could, he would love to be with his wife every single day.

Gu Jingzhou looked at Gao Qinghe, who was all smiles, a stark contrast to her demeanor when they first met.

Got it. She's useless in front of her husband, but a shrewd and capable superwoman in front of others.

high! It’s really high!

Gu Jingzhou secretly gave Gao Qinghe an admiring look.

Gao Qinghe remembered the reply he hadn't received. Having finished her meal and with nothing else to do, she tentatively asked:

Did Mr. Gu go to school today?

Jiang Baohai, who was busy serving his wife a full meal and showing off his food, looked up curiously at the sound.

Gu Jingzhou coughed twice and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm going."

The couple's eyes lit up instantly, gleaming with gossip.

Gu Jingzhou: "." He regretted inviting these two to dinner!
Gao Qinghe asked curiously, "Did you ask?"

Gu Jingzhou nodded and silently cut his steak.

The couple exchanged a glance; it seemed things weren't going well.

Jiang Baohai, harboring a desire for revenge against Zhou Zhenghua, actively encouraged Gu Jingzhou to steal Zhou Zhenghua's future golden opportunity.

Unexpectedly, my wife pinched me as a warning.

The girl is a person, not an object. Although she also felt that Zhou Zhenghua was not good enough for her, if they encouraged Gu Jingzhou to pursue Hao Huaping relentlessly, things would change.

In addition, Gao Qinghe knew that Hao Huaping was being watched by a system, so she was even less willing to let Gu Jingzhou be the unlucky one.

Jiang Baohai leaned over and patted Gu Jingzhou on the shoulder, comforting him, "Brother, your good fortune is yet to come."

Gu Jingzhou forced a smile, but felt a tightness in his chest.

It's not so easy to forget someone you love.

If he were to make Jiang Baohai forget Gao Qinghe, could he do it?

Jiang Baohai definitely couldn't do that. Even if he died, he wanted to be buried with Gao Qinghe!
For Gu Jingzhou, that unforgettable first love carried all the youthful passion and sincerity of his younger days.

Unfortunately, despite a good start, they failed to have a good ending.

Gu Jingzhou ordered another glass of wine and drank until he was dizzy.

However, he didn't forget to pay the bill.

Gao Qinghe and her husband took him to the hotel, helped him to his room and settled him in before going home.

Jiang Baohai felt that his relationship with the future bigwig had taken a step further, and he was in a particularly good mood.

Upon learning from Gao Qinghe that Gu Jingzhou would be staying in the county town for two more days, he immediately arranged for someone to drive his car over the next day to entertain him with food and entertainment.

Gu Jingzhou was speechless; he looked down on that kind of hedonistic lifestyle.

If it weren't for Gao Qinghe's sake, I would have driven them away long ago.

However, having a local around would be quite convenient, so she didn't completely refuse Jiang Baohai's offer.

Keep the person behind as a driver.

Gao Qinghe thus learned this from the driver.

The night before Gu Jingzhou left Qing County, he picked up Hao Huaping from the county's No. 1 Middle School. The two then went to the Xiahai Western Restaurant for a deep conversation.

The driver was unable to enter the store, so it's unknown what the two discussed.

Less than ten minutes after entering the store, Hao Huaping left alone, tears streaming down her face.

Holding the returned gift in his hand, Gu Jingzhou sadly chased after the gift to the door, but then stopped.

Men know men best.

The driver said the two had gone their separate ways for good. (End of Chapter)
