Gong Zhi Jing couldn't help but chuckle, looking at her with amusement and saying, "Now you know how I feel! You silly girl!"
Wen Xuan Xuan looked crestfallen and said aggrievedly, "I know, Zhi Zhi, you are magnanimous, please forgive this petty person of mine!"
She knew Gong Zhi Jing wasn't angry, and that she wasn't video calling to get revenge, but simply to cheer her up.
Just like when she had video called last time, it was also to alleviate Gong Zhi Jing's boredom.
"Let's go, I'll take you all over the ancient city!"
Gong Zhi Jing, full of joy, walked into the city gate with her phone, introducing things as she went.
Ling Yu Chen seemed like an extra, only able to follow behind her, unable to interject.
He could already imagine that if they were to go out together with their girlfriends in the future.
He would definitely be like Li Bowen, following behind to carry bags and pay bills.
This was a romantic spot, the best place for couples to take photos.
Most of the passersby around were in pairs, as if the air itself was filled with the pheromones of romance.
But why was this completely different from what he had imagined?
Ling Yu Chen was very dejected, his brows furrowed tightly, wishing he could snatch Gong Zhi Jing's phone away.
He thought their romantic getaway's biggest third wheel would be Ling Le You, but it turned out to be an unrelated woman.
Gong Zhi Jing was in high spirits and didn't notice Ling Yu Chen's expression at all.
It was Li Bowen who, through the fleeting camera shot, caught his resentful gaze.
He deeply understood this feeling!
When they went out before, Wen Xuan Xuan spent more than half the time with her two girlfriends.
She was either video calling Gong Zhi Jing or inseparable from Qiao Xin Yue, leaving him and his girlfriend with almost no time for romantic interactions.
He shifted his gaze to Wen Xuan Xuan, looking at her in her current joyful state.
He immediately dismissed the thought of disturbing her.
It was rare for her to be so happy since she had been resting at home during her pregnancy.
Since she was happy, then so be it, let her be happy!
Thus, Gong Zhi Jing, with her phone, practically led Wen Xuan Xuan through more than half of the ancient city.
Streets and alleys, famous landmarks, every scenery worth remembering and sharing.
It wasn't until almost noon.
Gong Zhi Jing was so hungry she couldn't walk anymore.
"I'm so hungry, so tired, I can't walk anymore, we need to find a place to eat and rest."
"Then it's settled, bye." Wen Xuan Xuan was also extremely hungry.
Gong Zhi Jing was tired from excessive physical exertion; she was simply hungry.
With three babies in her belly, she consumed energy faster than Gong Zhi Jing.
During this time, she had also been constantly eating fruits.
But she was hungry and couldn't eat much, though she could force down some corn and sweet potato congee.
After the video call ended, Gong Zhi Jing put away her phone.
She scanned the surroundings and then her gaze settled on Ling Yu Chen.
"I'm so hungry, let's find a restaurant to eat!"
Ling Yu Chen let out a cold snort and said with a stern face, "Oh, you remember me now. I thought you had no eyes for me anymore!"
Gong Zhi Jing, no matter how obtuse, knew he was angry, but she didn't know why.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Ling Yu Chen pursed his thin lips, feeling even more resentful.
It had only been a few days, and the morning was wasted like this, with a wedding photo shoot in the afternoon.
Gong Zhi Jing grabbed his hand and shook it coquettishly, saying playfully,
"What's wrong, why are you angry?"
Ling Yu Chen almost broke down, but still kept his face tight and cold.
"Not angry, let's go eat."
Gong Zhi Jing couldn't be appeased so easily and stood rooted to the spot.
"I'm not going. If you don't tell me, I won't eat."
Ling Yu Chen's current state was:
I'm angry, and I won't tell you why. If you don't care about me, I'll be angry. If you ask me, I won't tell you. I want you to guess!
Like a little girlfriend throwing a tantrum.
In any case, Gong Zhi Jing interpreted it this way, she drooped her face and said angrily, "Tell me or not. If you don't tell me, I'll be angry too."
Ling Yu Chen stubbornly refused to say, his heart was simply angry, angry that Gong Zhi Jing ranked him behind her best friends.
Gong Zhi Jing savored Ling Yu Chen's first sarcastic remark and guessed some of the reasons for his anger.
Perhaps it was because she had neglected him all along, and he was jealous.
This man was truly childish!
"Don't be angry, look, I'm here with you now."
Ling Yu Chen's tense expression softened slightly, but he still pursed his thin lips, not intending to forgive her so easily.
"Ling Yu Chen, don't be angry, Ling Yu Chen, Ling Yu Chen, Ling Yu Chen..."
Ling Yu Chen remained unmoved, but his heart was a little buoyant.
As a person of his cold and reserved nature, he naturally enjoyed this kind of persistence.
Seeing that Ling Yu Chen still wasn't appeased, Gong Zhi Jing hugged his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder, saying sweetly,
"Husband, Yu Chen gege~ Don't be angry anymore."
"Stop calling me that."
Ling Yu Chen's breath hitched. His dark eyes fixed on Gong Zhi Jing, a burning desire coiling around them.
If they weren't in public, he surely would...
Gong Zhi Jing pursed her lips and smiled, her smile exceptionally bright.
She considered herself good at coaxing people, and having been with Ling Yu Chen for so long, she naturally knew he was susceptible to this approach.
Seeing that Ling Yu Chen's expression had softened, Gong Zhi Jing finally relaxed.
"Alright, let's go eat, I'm starving."
Ling Yu Chen put his arm around her waist and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, "I'll deal with you later tonight!"
Was this something that could be said in public?
Gong Zhi Jing, unafraid of fanning the flames, said cockily, "Okay, bring it on."
Ling Yu Chen's eyes deepened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You, just, you, wait, for, me..."
Taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't do anything right now, Gong Zhi Jing decided to be arrogant for as long as she could and kept provoking him.
"I'll wait, who's afraid of who? I don't have to exert any effort anyway!"
Ling Yu Chen's eyes were about to spew fire, and his breathing became uncontrollably rapid.
"No more eating, let's go back to the hotel first!"
He put his arm around Gong Zhi Jing and quickened his pace.
Gong Zhi Jing protested, "No, don't mess around, I'm really hungry..."
Seeing that he was serious, Gong Zhi Jing finally felt scared.
Ling Yu Chen gazed at her deeply and said coldly, "I'm hungry too. Let me be fed first, I'll have someone send food to the room, and we'll settle it in bed."
Gong Zhi Jing wanted to cry but had no tears. She could only resist with all her might, but it was all to no avail.
She regretted it immensely, wishing she hadn't been so cocky earlier.
This man could only be coaxed, not provoked, or she would be the one suffering.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now; the fire she had started, she had to put out herself...
