The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 123 - 122: Trying on the Wedding Attire

Chapter 122: Your Man Owes a Loan Shark

Yun Hao didn’t even spare Li Hongmei a glance.

Xu Wenwan, on the other hand, watched Li Hongmei, her gaze probing.

She saw how pale and unwell Li Hongmei looked, and that Hu Ziqiang ultimately had to help her away.

She couldn’t help but turn to Yun Hao.

"Yun Hao, what’s wrong with Li Zhiqing?"

Yun Hao was reluctant to discuss Li Hongmei, but since Xu Wenwan was curious, he explained, "She got kicked last night. The injury is pretty serious."

Everyone at the youth dorms knew about this.

No one knew how Li Hongmei had gotten back after being kicked; she was found passed out at the entrance to the youth dorms in the morning.

The other female youths had to help her back inside.

Fortunately, she woke up quickly, and the pain in her stomach had subsided quite a bit.

Just now, Chen Ruoyu and the others had left so quickly that they’d forgotten Li Hongmei.

That was why Hu Ziqiang ended up helping her.

After hearing that, Xu Wenwan understood the situation.

Her reasons for coming were twofold: first, to check on Li Hongmei’s condition, and second, to get the Luck Value.

At the thought of the Qi Fortune Value, Xu Wenwan’s tone softened considerably.

"Yun Hao, I’ve missed you."

As she spoke, she reached out to take Yun Hao’s hand.

Absorbing Luck Value required physical contact.

Xu Wenwan’s plan was to hold his hand.

’Yun Hao likes me so much, he definitely won’t refuse.’

’Besides, for her, holding hands was a perfectly normal thing to do.’

But she had barely raised her hand and touched his palm for two seconds before he snatched it back as if he’d received an electric shock, his face filled with astonishment.

With a wounded expression, Xu Wenwan said, "Yun Hao, you..."

Yun Hao’s expression was grim. He glanced around before admonishing her in a low voice.

"Wen Wan, this is the youth dorms. Be mindful of our reputations."

"It would be bad for your reputation."

Xu Wenwan had been feeling hurt, but after hearing Yun Hao’s explanation, she was no longer upset. In fact, she felt a thrill of sweetness.

’Yun Hao refused to hold my hand to protect me! I couldn’t be happier!’

But if they didn’t hold hands, she couldn’t get the Qi Fortune Value. The sweetness she had just felt instantly vanished.

However, she knew this wasn’t a safe place, so she decided to arrange another meeting.

"Yun Hao, after lunch, let’s meet at the old house on the back hill. I have something to tell you. You have to be there, okay?"

After saying her piece, she ran off with a bashful look.

Hu Ziqiang appeared just as Xu Wenwan was leaving.

He’d had a clear view from the window just now. He saw Xu Wenwan try to take Yun Hao’s hand, only to be rejected.

He walked up to Yun Hao and nudged his shoulder with his own.

"From the way Wen Wan acts, she likes you too. When are you two planning on making it official?"

Yun Hao began to give the matter some serious thought.

He also wanted to make things official with Wen Wan as soon as possible.

That way, they wouldn’t have to sneak around anymore.

"I’ll write a letter home."

He had to get his parents’ approval first.

Hu Ziqiang looked on with envy.

’If only I had a childhood sweetheart like that.’

’Such an innocent, childhood love... it’s really something special.’

As this thought crossed his mind, his thoughts drifted to Gu Jiaojiao, and he felt it was a shame.

’Gu Jiaojiao is a city girl. She could have found an educated youth, but for some reason, she chose to marry a local villager instead.’

’From now on, she’ll be stuck farming in the Qingshan Team for the rest of her life.’

Gu Jiaojiao, of course, had no idea someone at the youth dorms was thinking about her.

At that moment, she was trying to figure out how to deal with Aunt Leng.

That morning, she had been contentedly admiring her Polygonum multiflorum when she heard a knock. Upon opening the door, she found Aunt Leng—the very same aunt with whom Leng Yuan had severed all ties—standing outside.

’How strange.’

Nevertheless, Gu Jiaojiao was still polite.

"Aunt, is there something I can help you with?"

Aunt Leng snorted, putting on the airs of an elder.

"Gu Jiaojiao, did you know that Leng Yuan is in debt to a loan shark!"
