CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 160: COMING TO VISIT AGAIN

The next morning, Gu Yiyi started accompanying Ye Qian to scout shop locations.

They first went to the one near the school.

But they arrived a bit early, and the landlord hadn’t arrived yet.

"Qianqian, let’s grab something to eat, check out a few other places, and come back later since we need to pick up some things anyway."

Gu Yi suggested.

Ye Qian had no objections, so they followed Gu Yi’s suggestion, had a bite, and started looking at places further away first.

Though it was further away.

Ye Qian, being alone, didn’t dare to go too far from the school, so it was just a few blocks away.

After running around for half the morning, they checked out all the places Ye Qian was interested in.

"Sister-in-law, which one do you think is better?"

After they finished looking at the one next to the school, the two returned home.

Ye Qian hastily asked Gu Yi.

"I still think the one near the school is nice. It’s close to home, easy for you to get to the shop, and since it’s near a school, the students should be quite interested in cakes, so business won’t be too bad in the future either."

Gu Yi thought the location near the school was the best.

Although it was smaller than the other places and a bit more expensive, the return wouldn’t be low.

Ye Qian felt the shop was smaller, but everything else was fine. After Gu Yi’s analysis, she decided to choose this location.

"Sister-in-law, should we go pay the deposit later?"

The more Ye Qian thought about it, the more she liked it and wanted to finalize it quickly. If someone else got it first, she’d regret not acting sooner.

"Alright, it’s good to settle it early."

Gu Yi originally thought of deciding with Ye Qian after returning from the army base.

Seeing Ye Qian’s eagerness, she also felt it was fine to finalize it now.

Gu Yi saw it was still early, so she quickly called Ye Hao, saying she and Ye Qian would go for lunch at the army base and asked Ye’s mother to cook more dishes.

They packed up their things.

Then went back to the shop, Ye Qian paid the rent and signed the contract with the landlord.

Gu Yi and Ye Qian hurried to the bus station to head to the army base.

Once they sat down on the bus.

Ye Qian felt much more relaxed.

Finally, she felt she took a step forward; otherwise, she’d keep worrying and wandering aimlessly every day.

Now she had something to do.

When they reached the army base, Gu Yi knew something must have happened.

The people around them looked the same as before.

Ye Qian also sensed something was off.

"Sister-in-law, what’s with those people? Why are they pointing at us?"

After all, Ye Qian was just a young girl who had never experienced such a thing, and she felt a bit panicked instantly.

"It’s nothing, just ignore them. I’ll take you home."

Gu Yi might have seen this often and didn’t take it to heart.

She took Ye Qian directly home.

Ye Family’s parents were quite happy to see the two of them arrive.

"Hao Hao came back and said you were coming over for lunch, so I made a lot of dishes you like. Are you hungry? We’ll eat when Hao Hao gets back."

Ye’s mother was once cautioned by Ye Fu.

Today, seeing Gu Yi, she acted as if nothing had happened and smiled while talking to them.

"I’m hungry. My sister-in-law and I ran around all morning without resting, but at least the shop business is settled now."

After putting down her things, Ye Qian shared the news with her parents.

"Got the shop settled? Where is it?"

Ye Fu hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It’s settled, right next to my sister-in-law’s school. It’s not a big place, but the location is pretty good."

When talking about the shop, Ye Qian was beyond excited.

"That’s pretty good, it’s close to Yiyi, so it will be easy to take care of. I’ll be in charge of your meals from now on."

Ye’s mother was quite pleased to hear that.

"That sounds great. I won’t have to worry about what to eat after class every day."

Gu Yi replied with a smile.

Right after she spoke, Ye Hao returned.

Gu Yi noticed Ye Hao seemed like he had something on his mind, perhaps there were rumors outside?

But she didn’t directly mention it in front of Ye Family’s parents.

After lunch, Gu Yi and Ye Hao returned to their room.

"Ye Hao, did something else happen with Yang Lin and Li Dongxiang?"

Gu Yi asked directly.

Looking at Gu Yi’s expression, Ye Hao didn’t intend to hide it from her.

"Yang Lin found a guy the other day and caused a scene at the army base."

Ye Hao stopped there, feeling that saying more would only insult Gu Yi.

"Claiming I have someone outside?"

Gu Yi continued.

Ye Hao glanced at Gu Yi and nodded.

"So you’re worried about this?"

Ye Hao nodded again.

"Ye Hao, do you trust me?"

"I believe you, I just feel like I’ve wronged you. All this trouble started because of me, and now you have to endure all this injustice."

Ye Hao spoke earnestly to Gu Yi.

"We are husband and wife; we are one. There’s no such thing as burdening each other."

Gu Yi snuggled into Ye Hao’s arms.

It seemed like she also had some matters she needed to hasten.

Ye Qian quietly asked her mom what was going on.

"What happened? Why are you asking like this?"

Ye’s mother was taken aback.

Ye Qian recounted the situation when she entered with Gu Yi.

"Don’t know which scoundrel caused a scene with a man at the army base."

Ye’s mother was incensed at the mere mention. Initially a bit muddled herself, she later realized, thanks to Ye Fu’s elucidation, that Gu Yi couldn’t have done such things.

Moreover, Gu Yi was her daughter-in-law. Anyone harming Gu Yi was essentially harming Ye Hao.

Ye’s mother thought if she ever found out who was so wicked, she would definitely tear into them.

"My sister-in-law would never do such a thing; those people must be bored to death to plot such malicious schemes."

Ye Qian was equally angry upon hearing this.

She felt fortunate to have someone as good as her sister-in-law, thinking it was truly a reward from past life’s good deeds.

So hearing anyone stirring a scene at the army base was surely intentional harm.

Ye Qian and Ye’s mother cursed to no avail, still feeling unsatisfied.

Who knew that evening the same hooligan showed up again.

But the guard at the gate didn’t let him in.

He seemed to know Gu Yi was there.

He stood outside loudly calling Gu Yi’s name.

The Ye Family heard it all.

Ye Hao opened the door, and everyone followed to the entrance of the army base.

By the time the Ye Family arrived, quite a number of people had already gathered around.

"Yiyi, why didn’t you tell me you came here, made it hard for me to find you."

The moment the man saw a woman standing beside Ye Hao, he guessed she was Gu Yi.

That day, Yang Lin had told him Gu Yi was at the army base and to create another ruckus.

Seeing the man’s fake expression of affection made Gu Yi want to laugh.

She turned her head and indeed saw Li Dongxiang watching the drama from the side.

"Do you have something to discuss with me?"

Gu Yi asked him seriously.

The man was taken aback; this wasn’t quite what he had imagined.

"Didn’t you say yesterday you’d accompany me? Why did you come here instead?"

The man quickly recovered.

"I said that yesterday? Where exactly?"

"In the city, at your home. Are you denying it because your husband is nearby?"

The man remembered Yang Lin mentioning Gu Yi living alone in the city.

Even if he said this, people couldn’t verify the truth of his words.
