Chapter 138 - Pursue Gu Yuehuan
Early in the morning, Jiang Yan sought out Gu Yuehuan, carrying a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He made a direct visit to West Willow Village where she resided.
He had specifically purchased the bouquet from town. He explained that flowers from other places were quite expensive, and that's why he sought her out today, as she wasn't running her stall.
Coincidentally, her husband was preparing for work, prompting him to drop by the village and find her alone. With the freedom to act as he pleased, he offered her flowers and other items in an attempt to win her favor.
After the recent miscarriage, Gu Yuewei refrained from going out. For a woman, post-abortion recovery was a matter of weeks, during which she remained confined to home. In order to safeguard her health and ensure future pregnancies, she abstained from going out and focused on her recovery regimen. Drinking raw egg and nourishing chicken soup were routine, finally allowing her to step out today. However, the previous sense of isolation had her wanting to stay indoors. Yet, fate seemed to mock her as she encountered Jiang Yan, flowers in hand, immediately after leaving the village.
The sight of Jiang Yan holding flowers was unexpectedly exasperating. She couldn't believe her luck; the very moment she ventured out of the village, there he was!
Catching sight of Jiang Yan, she was positively vexed. It had to be this insincere man presenting her with yet another bouquet. Was he here for her, of all things?
The sight of this man frightened her. If he sought her out and was witnessed by others… It would be humiliating. Those ladies had caught sight of them sneaking about in the woods near the village entrance. If other ladies saw them again, it would spark endless gossip.
Filled with worry, she hurriedly moved closer, grasping Jiang Yan's hand. “Jiang Yan! Have you lost your mind? Didn't we settle this last time? Don't come searching for me anymore. Why are you showing up with flowers? Let's act like nothing ever happened between us. Your pursuit… I can't possibly accept being with you. Just go, and quickly. If anyone spots you seeking me out, I'll have no dignity left. Don't let anyone see that we had a past!”
Today, Jiang Yan had brought flowers, but not for her. So, upon hearing the woman's nonsensical words, he began to question her sanity. And now, she was clinging to his hand.
Swiftly, he pulled his hand free. “If you're unwell, see a doctor and take your medicine! When did I come looking for you? I'm not looking for you. Move aside and don't hinder me.”
Gu Yuewei chuckled upon hearing this. She couldn't believe he could find another girl in the village.
This was the village's sole unmarried pretty girl. How could he not be looking for her with a grand bouquet of flowers?
This insufferable guy couldn't be toying with her by playing these kinds of mind games, could he?
“Fine, I can't be seen with you. Let's just act like nothing happened between us. Go away quickly. I don't want anyone here to witness our connection. You'll stain my reputation if you hang around, got it?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she gave him a shove, anxious that their argument might be observed by others.
Jiang Yan concluded that this woman had lost her marbles. Just as he was pushed aside, she unexpectedly thrust him away. “You need to step out of my way. I've already said I didn't come here for you. Why do you assume that? Do you think I'm into you? I'm interested in your sister! Today, I'm here to pursue your sister, not you. Move it, or else your sister might get the wrong idea!”
Hearing these words, Gu Yuewei questioned her hearing. She couldn't believe he was actually chasing her sister? Gu Yuehuan? Was he blind? Why would he be so keen on someone as heavyset as her sister?
