"..." Why were you all plotting behind my back?!

If Xu Han remembered correctly, he seemed to have been driving... a Bentley?

The farmhouse restaurant was different from their place. People there basically did not recognize car logos. Many of its customers came from the city, and Gu Yanqing driving a top-tier luxury car to deliver vegetables made her feel like she was about to trend on Weibo again.

This time, the headline would probably be: "Farm Girl Exposed Selling Vegetables from a Top Luxury Car—Grow Vegetables to Perfection and You Can Reach the Heavens."

Ahem.

Xu Han had truly been scared by what happened last time. But asking Gu Yanqing to unload the vegetables so she could deliver them on her little electric scooter was probably unrealistic. If she insisted on refusing, she might anger Gu Yanqing enough to make him leave, but he was kindly helping her, and the children were right there...

After thinking it over, Xu Han said, "I'll have a truck deliver the vegetables tomorrow morning. We won't deliver them today. How about you go buy me some cold medicine? My symptoms are a sore throat, weakness all over, and cold sweats. No fever. It's the first day."

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Gu Yanqing said, "You, Koukou, and Yuan Yuan stay home. Let Grandma take me there so I can learn the route. I'll handle the deliveries for the next few days."

"..." That was not the point, hey! And was it really appropriate for a young master like him to stay here and deliver vegetables for her?

People in the village loved to gossip. If he merely stopped by occasionally, they would assume he was a relative or friend. But if he came around too often, it would be easy for rumors to spread through the village!

Seeing her conflicted expression, Gu Yanqing asked, "Is there another problem?"

Xu Han simply said it outright. "Your car is too extravagant. I'm afraid driving it to deliver vegetables will get us on the news again, like last time."

So that was the issue. A faint smile touched Gu Yanqing's eyes. "It's fine. I switched to a Mercedes-Benz this time."

Xu Han: "..."

That was still extremely extravagant, okay?

Xu Han made one last attempt. "Then go later. Wait until it gets darker."

Gu Yanqing said, "We'll go eat in Town first, then deliver the vegetables afterward."

Seeing that Xu Han still looked like she had objections, Gu Yanqing pulled a stern face and said dominantly, "No more bargaining."

Xu Han once again: "..."

In the end, Xu Han compromised. She, Koukou, and Grandma Qiao followed Gu Yanqing's car into Town to see a doctor, eat at a hotel, and deliver vegetables.

They first went to a clinic in Town, where a doctor examined Xu Han and prescribed ordinary cold medicine. Since the doctor said it was best taken after a meal, the group went to a hotel for dinner.

Once it got dark, Koukou refused to be held by anyone unfamiliar. Even Gu Yanqing, his biological father, was no exception. While riding in the car, Xu Han felt a little nauseated, perhaps because of her cold, so she took off her mask to get some air. Afraid of passing her cold to Koukou, she had Grandma Qiao hold him.

The group entered the hotel. The doors here were still the old-fashioned sliding kind. Gu Yanqing politely pushed the door open and let the ladies enter first.

Xu Han had come to this hotel before to promote her vegetables, but she had not succeeded. The greenhouse vegetable supplier was a close relative of the person in charge here, so they would not choose a nearby supplier over one farther away.

As it happened, the hotel manager was talking with the lobby manager in the hall today. When he saw Xu Han enter, his face immediately darkened. "Didn't I tell you not to come anymore? We won't buy your vegetables."

Gu Yanqing, who entered after her, glanced at the man without much expression and said, "What, does your hotel seem to be unwelcoming toward us?"

The lobby manager knew that Gu Yanqing was an important guest staying at the hotel. He had booked the best room in the hotel all the way until the day before New Year's Eve, and according to the gossip from the front desk girls, he also drove a luxury car.

The lobby manager hurriedly shot the hotel manager a look, then stepped forward with an apologetic smile. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. It's purely a misunderstanding."

Gu Yanqing was not someone easily brushed off. He said coolly, "A misunderstanding about what?"

Whenever Gu Yanqing was not smiling, he carried an imposing aura that inspired awe. The lobby manager immediately lost some confidence and looked at the hotel manager.

The hotel manager, however, remained neither servile nor overbearing. "This lady has previously come to our hotel to promote her family's vegetables. I thought she was here to promote them again. I deeply apologize if I offended our guest."

Gu Yanqing opened the door again. "Let's go somewhere else."

Xu Han was practically knocked over by Gu Yanqing's domineering presence. A real-life domineering CEO, wasn't he?

But why did that feel so satisfying?

The group walked out of the hotel again. The hotel manager watched their retreating backs, his gaze darkening.

In the end, they went to the farmhouse restaurant where they delivered vegetables.

The weather was cold, and aside from a few people staying nearby, the farmhouse restaurant had very few customers.

Although Boss Cai was ridiculously stingy, she was generally a decent person. Hearing that they had come to eat, she "generously" offered them a one-percent discount...

How very generous.

"Here's the menu. Come on, see what you'd like to eat."

Boss Cai personally brought over the menu. At a glance, she could tell that Xu Han was the central figure in this group, so she eagerly handed the menu to Gu Yanqing, giving him a chance to curry favor.

Sure enough, Gu Yanqing took it and pushed it in front of Xu Han. "See what you want to eat."

But Xu Han was too dizzy to think about such a difficult question as what to eat. She waved a hand. "Just order whatever. Get me something fairly sour but not spicy."

Boss Cai glanced at Xu Han, then at Koukou in Grandma Qiao's arms, and finally at Gu Yanqing. Her eyes crinkled with smiles as she said, "Sour for boys, spicy for girls. Grandma Qiao, you and your husband are going to have two chubby boys in three years! Oh, and there's already one here. Wow, you're so blessed—three sons!"

People here were somewhat biased toward sons over daughters. They liked boys more, so when they met someone, they liked to praise them for having many sons and being blessed. Boss Cai would not praise customers from the city that way, knowing their views were more progressive and they did not care for that sort of thing.

But when it came to people from around here, her true nature showed without reservation.

Xu Han: "???"

Hey, Boss, didn't you misunderstand something?
