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

Chapter 16 Gao Qingmiao, I should be under the car

Shanghe Village.

Zhou Zhenghua stood on the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, looking around as if he was waiting for someone.

The villagers passed by the stone bridge at the crossroads and saw that he had returned.

It was a pleasant surprise.

"When did Secretary Zhou get back?"

"Just got back."

"Have you finished dealing with things in the county?"

"Busy working."

"We've killed a chicken at home, come over for dinner tonight."

"No, Uncle, please eat more. I'll visit your home again when I have time."

The villagers said he was being too polite; it was just an elder inviting a younger person home for a meal, nothing to be afraid of.

Zhou Zhenghua politely declined again.

The villagers thought to themselves, "Now that he's an official, his authority has grown."

Seeing that Zhou Zhenghua really refused, they politely invited him to come to their home when he had time, and then drove away with a flock of ducks.

Another elderly woman came carrying pig feed.

"Where are Secretary Zhou and the others?"

Zhou Zhenghua nodded politely.

The older woman's eyes had already seen through the young people's thoughts, and she said sarcastically:

"The eldest daughter of the Gao family went to the city early this morning. The bus back won't arrive for a long time. You've been waiting too long."

Zhou Zhenghua wanted to explain something, but suddenly remembered what happened at the entrance of the county hospital that day, so he just smiled.

The expression on his face clearly showed that he had been caught out and felt embarrassed.

The older woman gave him a look that said, "You've got good taste, kid."

Fearing the old woman would go back to the village and spread rumors, Zhou Zhenghua quickly shouted:

"Sister-in-law, please don't tell anyone. It's not settled yet. It would be bad for her reputation."

The older woman smiled knowingly, "Okay, I know, I promise I won't tell anyone, so don't worry."

That's what they said, but the excited look in their eyes didn't seem to be the case at all.

After being spotted by several people, Zhou Zhenghua realized he had arrived too early.

We parted ways at the entrance of the county hospital that day.

He rushed to the bus station, but still missed the return bus.

He planned to return to the village early the next morning, but unexpectedly, the leader called him for something.

The training at the cadre school was almost over, with only two days left before graduation. I gritted my teeth and persevered until I successfully graduated.

Yesterday, after the training ended, he found a passing truck to go home.

I didn't get home until late at night, and the village had a power outage. The lights in the neighboring house were all off.

He didn't dare to go over and disturb them.

After tossing and turning all night, he thought he would go to Qinghe to explain things first thing in the morning.

Unexpectedly, she, who usually gets up late, took a bus into the city very early in the morning.

Since he couldn't find the person, Zhou Zhenghua had no choice but to go back to the village committee to arrange his recent work.

After a busy morning, I finally have some free time.

He didn't know why, but he felt a strange sense of panic and irritability.

As if by some strange twist of fate, I found myself at the village entrance.

The county bus doesn't return until 3:30 PM, and even if there are no delays on the way, it won't get to the village until 5:30 PM at the earliest.

It's only a little past three o'clock now.

But he couldn't wait to see her immediately and explain things to her.

I don't want to waste another minute!

Zhou Zhenghua waited anxiously, when suddenly he heard the sound of a car driving by.

He looked up.

A red sedan was speeding towards us, kicking up a cloud of dust.

It wasn't a shuttle bus or a large truck.

It's not even a small tricycle or a noodle-making machine.

It turned out to be a private car.

Zhou Zhenghua was a little surprised, as it was rare to see private cars even in the county town.

Just as I was wondering why these private cars would be driving into the countryside.

Zhou Zhenghua's eyes suddenly widened as he stared in disbelief at the familiar figure approaching from the carriage.

A man who looked rather shady sat next to her.

"Mr. Jiang, you can just drop us off at the village entrance," Gao Qinghe said politely. Jiang Baohai nodded, not thinking much of it.

Suddenly, a young man who looked remarkably like old Zhou Zhenghua appeared in their line of sight.

wrong……

The young man standing by the stone bridge is Zhou Zhenghua!
Then he looked at the woman sitting next to him, smiling at him.

Jiang Baohai's originally gentle expression instantly turned gloomy.

"Why didn't you go into the village? Were you afraid people would see me bringing you back and misunderstand?"

Gao Qinghe was in a good mood on her way back.

She didn't notice the change in the man's tone beside her.

She pointed to the stone bridge leading into the village, "The roads in the village are narrow, and cars can't get in."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baohai looked towards the stone bridge. The road leading into the village was less than two meters wide, barely wide enough for a three-wheeled motorcycle to pass through.

Looking at Gao Qinghe again, it seemed that she hadn't noticed the person standing on the bridgehead at all.

Jiang Baohai's gloomy expression softened slightly.

He drove the car to the edge of the stone bridge, and suddenly did a big drift, turning around on the spot.

Zhou Zhenghua realized something was wrong and hurriedly dodged.

But I still got choked by the dust that was kicked up.

Gao Qinghe opened the car door and got out.

He instructed Jiang Baohai, who was in the driver's seat: "Drive slowly on the way back, and be careful."

Jiang Baohai was stunned for a moment.

He then nodded slightly.

"Qinghe!"

Zhou Zhenghua strode to Gao Qinghe's side, glancing warily at the man in the car. "Who is this?"

Gao Qinghe had actually seen him a long time ago.

As soon as Zhou Zhenghua appeared, the system in her mind, which had been silent, immediately became excited.

[Male lead appears! Detected: Current male lead's affection level towards host is 50/100]

[Please cherish this opportunity, host, clear up the misunderstanding between you, and gain the male lead's favorability. Once the favorability reaches 100, you can unlock marriage.]

Gao Qinghe roared inwardly, "Shut up!!!"

The system froze instantly, leaving only a buzzing sound of electricity that gradually faded away.

Gao Qinghe took a deep breath.

I just felt that Zhou Zhenghua's arrival was completely out of the blue.

Then Jiang Baohai's intriguing gaze swept over.

Gao Qinghe didn't want him to misunderstand anything and affect her becoming the wife of the richest man.

She walked to the driver's side, reached her hand through the window, and took Jiang Baohai's hand that was resting on the steering wheel.

He told Zhou Zhenghua, "Jiang Baohai, the chairman of Jianghai Coal Mine, is my girlfriend."

A thunderous roar filled Zhou Zhenghua's mind, making his eardrums ache.

"what?"

He wanted to double-check if he had misheard.

Gao Qinghe was afraid that Jiang Baohai would suddenly shout that he wasn't her boyfriend.

Under Jiang Baohai's gloomy gaze, Gao Qinghe quickly threw his hand back onto the steering wheel.

"The mountain road is difficult to travel, so please drive carefully." Her expression was full of concern and shyness.

I thought to myself, "You'd better hurry up and leave."

Jiang Baohai suddenly grabbed her hand as she tried to pull away.

He peeked out of the window, his phoenix eyes scrutinizing Zhou Zhenghua.

"Qinghe, and who is this?"

He deliberately used the same term of endearment that Zhou Zhenghua had just used for her.

Gao Qinghe felt a chill run down her spine.

But Jiang Baohai doesn't deny that he's her boyfriend?
Gao Qinghe suddenly leaned down and whispered in Jiang Baohai's ear, explaining in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"That's my neighbor's son. You know, it's normal for a beautiful and outstanding girl like me to have one or two admirers. But I have high standards. I'd only be interested in a witty, humorous, and generous man like you, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Baohai felt a gentle breeze blowing by, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

So close, I could almost feel the temperature and shape of her lips with my ear.

Hot, full, and soft, they gave him an urge to tear and swallow those two red lips.

As for what Gao Qinghe said...

I didn't hear a single word clearly.
