Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

Two days passed in a flash, and the renovation of the old house was progressing steadily. The construction team had a clear division of labor and worked efficiently. Zhao Yutian stayed at the construction site every day, which was truly dedicated. He strictly controlled the quality and was meticulous in every detail.

Lin Chen completely abandoned his duties, spending his days doing nothing but wandering around the village streets and alleys, enjoying the breeze. When he got hungry, he would just grab a bite from a small pot at the door with Yu Tian.

"Oh my god, Chen-ge, you're eating instant noodles again? I smell like braised beef all over."

Lin Chen glanced at him:

"Do you want some? You can cook, right?"

Zhao Yutian shook his head:

"I won't……"

"What a complete bastard!"

"But my partner knows how..."

"Come on, Brother Yutian, take a seat!" Lin Chen's mood changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

Lin Chen bought a lot of things, and Zhao Yutian brought them to Liu Ying, so the two of them finally had a decent meal.

Lin Chen thought that this approach wouldn't work, and he had to think of a solution. He couldn't just make do like this every day. It seemed that he really needed to learn how to cook and how to use this big iron pot in the countryside.

……

The sun was gentle that day, much milder than usual, and the breeze was soft and pleasant.

Lin Chen tidied up his car with nothing to do and found a pair of leather shoes he used to wear. The leather was delicate and soft, and the design was very high-end. They were quite expensive when he bought them in Shenzhen, but he didn't like wearing them anymore.

The village was full of dirt roads, and wearing leather shoes would not only get you dusty but also cause blisters, but it would be a waste to throw them away.

With a sudden idea, he casually picked up the shoebox and strolled slowly to the Big Foot Grocery Store at the village entrance.

The shop was completely empty and quiet.

Xie Dajiao's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she immediately stood up and said:

"You're here just in time. I'm going to the back room to change my clothes. Can you watch the shop for me for a bit?"

"Don't rush to watch the shop, take this back with you too."

Lin Chen placed the shoebox on the counter with one hand, leaned lazily against the edge, and casually looked at the woman behind the counter, saying:

"I'm not used to wearing these shoes. The roads in the village are too bad, and it's a waste to leave them here. Here, take them. If Li Fu can wear them, let him wear them. If he can't, keep them and do whatever you want with them."

Xie Dajiao curiously bent down and opened the shoebox, seeing the delicate cowhide upper. She could clearly feel the texture of the high-end upper with her fingertips, and could tell at a glance that the shoes were expensive.

Her eyes were full of surprise as she looked up at Lin Chen, her voice tinged with astonishment:

"My goodness, this leather is amazing! It feels so soft. These shoes must have been incredibly expensive! You're so generous, giving away something so valuable just like that?"

"You're reluctant to give these shoes to others, but you're reluctant to give them to me? Give these shoes to Li Fu and say they're a gift from me. It's better if he treats you better than anything else."

"He doesn't deserve to wear such nice things."

Xie Dajiao politely declined, but she was secretly delighted. Finally, someone remembered her. Not wanting to damage her fine shoes, she quickly closed the shoebox, carried them to the backyard, and carefully put them away.

Not long after, Xie Dajiao came out after changing her clothes.

She completely changed her outfit, shedding her usual capable boss lady demeanor. A silk cheongsam fit her curves perfectly, the cinched waistline outlining her round and full figure, and the slit in the skirt revealing a section of her fair and slender calves. She was both charming and alluring.

Her black hair was all neatly tied into a bun, with two strands of hair falling naturally on either side of her forehead, revealing her slender neck and delicate ears.

Today, she lightly drew her eyebrows and applied a layer of moisturizing lip gloss, shedding her usual rough and rugged look. Her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and her eyes were full of the unique sexiness of a mature woman. Every move she made was exceptionally alluring.

Lin Chen had just opened a bottle of chilled soda and taken a sip when he looked up and saw her clearly. His gaze instantly settled on her ample figure, slowly sweeping over her curves. He was genuinely amazed, and then a playful smile appeared on his lips as he softly whistled.

"I never expected that you would look so charming when you dressed up. No young girl in the city can compare to your mature style. You look so beautiful."

A direct and intense gaze was fixed on her, scrutinizing her entire body without any attempt at concealment. Xie Dajiao felt a surge of heat throughout her body, but she was also very satisfied with her own charm.

The image of the two of them embracing intimately at night, their skin touching, instantly flooded her mind, causing a surge of heat in her heart. She wished she could immediately close the shop door and rush into his arms.

She suppressed the longing in her heart, her eyes glistening with tears, and gave Lin Chen a coquettish glare, her voice slightly nasal:

"You're so irresponsible, talking nonsense in broad daylight. It's not good if others hear you."

Her chest heaved slightly. Although she was scolding him, her body betrayed her by his gaze, and she deliberately struck some sexy poses for Lin Chen, her eyes filled with undisguised adoration and longing.

The atmosphere inside the store gradually warmed up, and the air became sticky. Just then, the door of the grocery store was gently pushed open, and Xie Dajiao quickly returned to normal.

Wang Changgui, carrying a black work notebook, strolled leisurely into the store. He originally intended to buy a pack of cigarettes, but the first thing he saw when he looked up was Xie Dajiao, dressed in a cheongsam and exuding charm.

His feet froze on the spot, his eyes fixed on Xie Dajiao. When he noticed someone else was there, his eyes immediately started to dart around, pretending to look elsewhere, but glancing at her every now and then, almost drooling.

Upon seeing that it was Lin Chen standing in the room, Wang Changgui coughed awkwardly twice, straightened his back, adopted the serious demeanor of a village cadre, and quickly walked to the other side to sit down, deliberately pretending to be calm.

Knowing that Lin Chen was rich and capable, he dared not offend him, so he fawned over him with a smile and tried to strike up a conversation.

"Xiao Chen, I've been busy with village affairs lately and haven't had a chance to visit your construction site."

How's the house renovation going? Is the construction team reliable? If anyone in the village causes trouble, or if you're short of materials or manpower, just tell your uncle. I'm the village head, and I can take care of everything for you.

Lin Chen remained calm, smiled slightly, took a sip of his soda, and spoke politely without engaging in further pleasantries.

"Director, everything is going smoothly. Yutian is keeping an eye on the construction site every day, so I don't need to worry about it. We're just missing some home appliances or something, but I'll have Liu Yishui go to the county to run errands for me in a couple of days."

Wang Changgui chatted for a while about trivial matters concerning the village's fields and neighborhood disputes, then couldn't help but turn to look at Xie Dajiao, his eyes still filled with longing, while he kept praising her:

"Big Foot, are you busy today? Why are you dressed up so nicely?"

Xie Da subconsciously adjusted the hem of her cheongsam, gently brushed a stray hair behind her ear, and casually said:

"What's there to see? I'm getting old. This afternoon, Xiao Meng and Da Guo are going on a blind date. I'm the matchmaker, so I have to dress presentably."

No sooner had Xie Dajiao finished speaking than the sound of brakes came from the doorway, and then the curtain was suddenly pushed open.

Li Daguo walked into the grocery store with his head held high and chest out, deliberately putting on a cool and aloof demeanor.

The top two buttons of her floral shirt were undone, revealing her dark neck. She wore a pair of dark sunglasses and exuded an inexplicable arrogance. She was determined to make a good impression on Wang Xiaomeng on their blind date.
