Chapter 14: Granny Will Fight You

Tang Guo, dressed in a fiery red tracksuit, her face flushed from exercise, with hair dyed wine-red, looked like a delicate little red flower. She glared at Ye Qiu, her exquisite face full of anger. "Hey, what are you doing sitting by the window half-naked early in the morning? Want to streak? You have the nerve to show off those two ribs in front of me? Good thing I noticed early, or what would happen if Bao'er and Mo Nong saw you?"

Ye Qiu wasn't sitting by the window early in the morning; he had fallen asleep there last night. His alertness was high, and he had heard Tang Guo sneaking towards him, deliberately sitting there to catch her red-handed.

Unexpectedly, this woman had quick reflexes and not only denied peeking but also turned the tables on him.

"You came here to peek, didn't you?" Ye Qiu said, curling his lips.

"Peek? How could I peek? If you weren't naked, how would I see anything?"

"If you weren't looking, how would you know I was naked?"

"I came out for a walk."

"And your walk took you to my window?"

"I—well, this place belongs to me. I can go wherever I want. What's it to you?"

"This body is mine. I can be naked if I want. What's it to you?"

Tang Guo's mouth hung open for a while, unable to find a retort to Ye Qiu's argument. She didn't expect this country bumpkin to use her own words against her, effectively turning her own logic back on her.

"Guo Guo, what's going on? Arguing so early in the morning." Shen Mo Nong, dressed in a white tracksuit with a light blue scarf, came out to see what was happening. She had been making breakfast when she heard the argument.

Tang Guo's face turned even redder. "Change him. He's impossible. I'll be driven to madness by him before I get kidnapped again."

With that, Tang Guo stormed back into the house, leaving Shen Mo Nong standing by the door. She adjusted her hair and expressionlessly said to Ye Qiu, "Breakfast is ready."

Ye Qiu was somewhat moved. This woman knew how to return a favor.

The atmosphere at the dining table was a bit tense. After their argument, both Tang Guo and Ye Qiu were sulking, refusing to speak. Lin Bao'er tried to talk to Ye Qiu but stopped after being glared at by Tang Guo. Shen Mo Nong ate elegantly and silently, not accustomed to talking during meals.

Ye Qiu missed home. Despite the hardship, meal times in the village were lively, with everyone gathering to eat, chatting about various topics. Here, the silence felt oppressive.

After breakfast, Ye Qiu got up to clear the table, but Shen Mo Nong beat him to it. "I'm going to the company later. If you need to buy anything, I can give you a ride."

Ye Qiu did need to buy a lot of things. He hadn't slept on the bed last night because the blanket seemed used. Though not overly concerned with hygiene, he preferred not using others' things.

"Okay, thank you," Ye Qiu replied.

"Guo Guo, Ye Qiu is going out to buy some supplies. Try not to go out without him," Shen Mo Nong advised.

"I don't need him," Tang Guo pouted.

"Remember last night's lesson," Shen Mo Nong said sternly.

Fearing Shen Mo Nong's anger, Tang Guo quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I'll stay home. I'll play games with Bao'er. My WoW character is already level 50."

Ye Qiu knew about WoW but hadn't played it. Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er were engrossed in their game, their characters named 'Sexy Bikini' and 'Cute Little Apron,' respectively, surrounded by followers.

Ye Qiu watched them play for a while before Shen Mo Nong came downstairs. The sight of her made Ye Qiu's eyes light up.

As the ancient saying goes: A true beauty should have a face like a flower, a voice like a bird, the spirit of the moon, bones like jade, skin like snow, the posture of flowing water, and the heart of poetry. Few could meet this high standard, but Shen Mo Nong fit the description perfectly.

With her hair pinned up, revealing her slender neck adorned with a delicate platinum necklace, she wore a light white professional suit that exuded maturity and elegance, captivating the heart.

Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er were undoubtedly beautiful, but one was spoiled, and the other innocent. In comparison, Shen Mo Nong's multifaceted beauty was incomparable.

"Hmph, pervert. Can't take your eyes off a pretty face," Tang Guo muttered, noticing Ye Qiu's reaction.

"There are some people I don't want to look at. Who'd want to see a washboard?" Ye Qiu retorted calmly.

"Tang Tang, he insulted your chest," Lin Bao'er added fuel to the fire.

"Granny will fight you!" Tang Guo, unable to tolerate Ye Qiu's insult about her chest, grabbed a fruit knife and charged at him.
