Su Wen cleaned her hands with a wet rag and stepped out. When she reached the well, she saw He Changming washing the rabbits that had been cleaned with his sleeves rolled up high. On the other hand, Zhou Hengyang had his hands in his pockets as he looked down and occasionally said a few words.

Su Wen was speechless. Hmm? Things were progressing in a way she had not imagined.

Indeed, Zhou Hengyang was a two-faced person.

He had said he would help with the food prep, but in the end, He Changming, their guest, was doing all the work!

“Hengyang! How could you let our guest handle the food prep?” Su Wen wandered closer to Zhou Hengyang, mortified by the revelation. “That’s not right.”

Zhou Hengyang turned sideways and offered her a wry smile that gave her goosebumps. “Brother Changming offered to help. It was hard to refuse his kindness; I couldn’t help it.”

What did he mean by saying it was hard to refuse his kindness?

Su Wen did not believe a word.

“Come with me.” Zhou Hengyang suddenly grabbed Su Wen’s hand and pulled her away from the well.

Zhou Hengyang was too strong, so Su Wen had no choice but to follow him. He stopped when they reached their room. “What are you doing? What is it that you couldn’t say outside? Why are we in our room?” Zhou Hengyang’s inconsiderate actions caused her imagination to run wild.

“What are you thinking about?” Zhou Hengyang eyed her in confusion. He even felt Su Wen’s forehead, muttering, “Hmm… You do feel a little warm.”

“It’s nothing.” How else could she respond? It was not easy changing habits so ingrained in her time reading the novel, especially those portions describing how attractive Zhou Henzvaæ was.

“Why have you dragged me back here?” Su Wen swatted his hand away in embarrassment. However, as she was not as strong as Zhou Hengyang, she failed to push his hand away and lost her balance, falling straight into his waiting arms.

Zhou Hengyang reacted quickly, catching her before she could fall face-first.

Su Wen gritted her teeth, furious. Puffing up her cheeks, she cursed Zhou Hengyang from the depths of her heart. Hadn’t she done her best to make him happy? Yet, now he was so black-hearted that he would not even help her! Was he afraid she would fail and make him look bad?

How could he treat her like this?

It was too unfair!

Humph! Su Wen knew it would not be easy to please the male protagonist of the novel she fell in love with, but that did not mean she was going to give up! There was nothing she could not do or overcome if she put her mind to it.

Zhou Hengyang’s eyes radiated warmth. Cheekily, he poked her angry, puffed-up cheek.

“Stop that.” If he poked her again, she would show him what it meant to make her angry!

Although she wanted to cling to a golden thigh, she still had something called dignity and a bottom line. If Zhou Hengyang pushed her buttons too much, she was prepared to fall out with him.

“I hear you want to establish a partnership with He Changming,” Zhou Hengyang began, his voice carefully devoid of inflections.

“Yes, I do.” Su Wen had nothing to hide. “You’ve seen Su Qing and me hard at work making bags. He Changming can provide us with top-quality furs; the partnership should be self-explanatory.”

“It is.” Zhou Hengyang nodded.

The furs and leather He Changming provided were pretty good. It would not surprise him if He Changming had a secret method of tanning passed down by his ancestors. Being a businessman, Zhou Hengyang had a sharp eye for good deals. Su Wen’s business looked promising.

As long as she managed it well, the value of the bags she and Su Qing produced could go for a hundred or even a thousand times their original cost. Su Wen had given him plenty of surprises in recent days. Staring at the woman who glared at him angrily, Zhou Hengyang felt his heart fill with love.

Now that he thought about it, it was simply unbelievable. Three months ago, he and Su Wen were still unwilling to look at each other. Every time Su Wen saw him, she would look at him with disgust and fear..
