But Gu Chen understood clearly.
No matter what kind of person she was, now, she was his daughter-in-law.
And it didn't prevent him from liking and loving her.
This was an unchangeable fact.
The priority was to keep her.
As for her background, he believed that there would come a day when he would warm her heart again.
Let her tell him herself.
Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen's excited face and smiled.
'I was just talking nonsense, and it turned out to be right on the mark,' she said.
She really was just talking nonsense, and she never expected that she would actually help Gu Chen.
She was very happy about that.
Gu Chen picked up a pie and took a big bite.
One word: delicious!
Ji Pianran saw that Gu Chen had started eating, so she took a bite of the pie in her hand.
The meat inside was very big, and when she chewed it in her mouth, the rich soup juice flowed out.
The fragrance filled her throat and nasal passages.
It was absolutely delicious.
After eating, Gu Chen put away the bowl and chopsticks.
He washed the dishes and looked towards Ji Pianran's room again.
He locked the kitchen door behind him before entering the space.
Gu Chen first dug ten or so small pits before placing the handful of dried wolfberries he was holding when entering the space into the pits one by one.
He buried them with soil and then fetched some spirit spring water to water each wolfberry.
With wolfberries, the seeds are all in the fruit.
In fact, Gu Chen didn't really know what to expect, after all, these goji berries were already dried.
He didn't know how many seeds would survive.
But just seconds after Gu Chen finished watering, something surprising happened.
One by one, like little saplings, tender, green, slender things broke through the soil.
In the blink of an eye, there were more than ten, and they all grew up.
He nodded, secretly exclaiming,
'It really is the system, it's truly miraculous!'
He then watered the seedlings a second time, followed by a third.
He watched as the seedlings, which looked like little blades of grass, gradually grew into the shape of little trees.
Gu Chen then began to plant the broccoli.
As with yesterday, the broccoli flower that was left behind had produced quite a lot of seeds.
Gu Chen did not plant all the seeds this time, but only about twenty.
Tomorrow, he would go with Ji Pianran.
If he were to plant all the seeds himself, there would be so many broccoli flowers that he really wouldn't be able to carry them.
And just these twenty or so seeds would probably require a lot of effort.
After planting the broccoli, Gu Chen looked at this quietly growing spiritual field and let out a sigh of relief.
He had been planting and watering in it for about an hour.
He wondered if Tang Tang had looked for him.
Thinking about this, Gu Chen hurriedly exited the space.
Once he was out of the space, Gu Chen looked at the clock hanging in the kitchen. It turned out that the hour he had spent in the space was only one minute outside.
He frowned.
He sighed inwardly, no wonder things grew quickly in the space.
It turned out that even the time was different from the outside world.
He washed his hands and, as usual, made milk for Tangtang.
He went to Ji Pianran's room to hug Tangtang and take her back to his room to sleep.
Time flew, and it was already the next morning.
Gu Chen woke up even earlier than yesterday.
Ji Pianran also woke up very early, after all, she was still thinking about going into the city with Gu Chen.
To be honest, in the three years since marrying Gu Chen, Ji Pianran had only been to the city twice. The first time was the day before the wedding, when she went to the city to buy things.
The second time was when she took Tang Tang to the doctor.
Today was the third time, and she was going to look for a job!
Although there is no sign of success yet, she just wants to have a meeting.
However, she really likes this job.
She washed her face and carefully combed her hair, and changed into her cleanest clothes.
It was a plain blue thin cotton jacket with silver-white silk flowers.
She bought it when she got married, and over the years, Ji Pianran has never worn it, but it still looks brand new.
The cotton-padded jacket was form-fitting, and coupled with Ji Bianran's naturally thin figure, it didn't look bulky at all when worn by her, but rather accentuated her figure.
The plain blue colour brought out the delicacy of her originally fair skin.
She casually tied up her hair.
Her delicate oval face was hidden behind some stray hair, and her eyes, like dark jade, were suffused with a faint soft light, looking extremely good.
Her lips were small and rosy, a proper little cherry mouth.
After tidying up, Ji Pianran put on her shoes and thought about going to the kitchen to heat up last night's pie, waiting for Gu Chen and Tang Tang to get up, so that the three of them could have dinner and go into the city.
She went out of the house.
As soon as she lifted the curtain on the door, she saw Gu Chen come out as well.
Gu Chen subconsciously glanced at Ji Pianran.
And the latter obviously saw him as well.
Their eyes met, and Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran in front of him, who was as beautiful as a fairy in a picture scroll.
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
She was really beautiful!
Why hadn't he treasured such a beautiful daughter-in-law in his previous life?
And he had worshipped free love.
With his own qualifications, if he really had free love, he would never have married someone as beautiful as her!
What a cheap person he was!
Ji Pianran felt a little embarrassed when she saw him staring at her.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, 'You're early.'
Gu Chen touched his head and laughed, "You're early too.'
Then he walked towards the kitchen.
'I'll heat up the pies and prepare some formula for Sugar Plum.'
Ji Pianran hurriedly followed behind him, "Then I'll help you.'
Recently, Gu Chen has been doing almost all the work on the stove at home, and Ji Pianran is really a little embarrassed.
Gu Chen doesn't stop her, he smiles, 'Okay, then you can prepare the milk for Tangtang.'
In recent days, Gu Chen has figured out Tangtang's sleeping habits.
As long as he gets up, ten minutes later, the little girl will definitely open her eyes and look around for her father.
He doesn't want to hear Tangtang's crying anymore.
Ji Pianran nodded in agreement, 'Okay.'
The two of them went into the kitchen, Ji Pianran heating up the milk formula while Gu Chen washed the baby bottle.
After the milk formula was ready, Ji Pianran went into Gu Chen's room and woke up their daughter.
After the family of three had breakfast, Ji Pianran brushed the little girl's teeth, washed her face, and fixed her hair.
The three of them then left the house.
When they left the house, it so happened that Shen Cuilan was leaving with Tian Laosi to go to work.
She saw the family of three laughing and chatting as they walked towards the bus stop.
She thought about the various fragrances that had recently drifted into the courtyard.
She couldn't help but mutter, 'It's really strange. I always feel that their family is really getting better and better.'
Tian Laosi sighed, 'Don't keep your eyes on other people all day long. First, take care of your own family!'
Then he couldn't help but glance at the back of the Gu Chen family of three.
It's true that the sight of their backs really does give a feeling of togetherness.
