He chuckled, "I didn't realize you were so fond of your wife and child!"

As a man, he personally didn't care for fruit.

He always felt that fruit was something only women and children enjoyed.

Having said that, he placed the packed fruit on the scale to weigh it.

Gu Chen watched the shopkeeper, his smile full of teasing.

"You're only seeing the surface. Actually, my wife is especially fond of me, too."

His wife, Pian Ran, was just easily embarrassed, but when it came to action, she was unhesitating!

At these words, Ji Pianran was taken aback.

She had not expected Gu Chen to come out with such a statement, and she looked toward him instinctively.

The youth's facial features were distinct, and with the light behind him, his well-defined face appeared somewhat darker due to the lighting, but this wheatish skin tone somehow added to Gu Chen's charm.

Her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

How did he know that she cared for him?
