Chapter 721: You Have to Control Yourself
Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong lifted the curtain at the back of the carriage and looked out.

The two of them did not care when they saw the carriage slow down. They only thought that it was because the village road was too narrow that the carriage was moving slowly.

They didn’t look like they were from Yongfu Village, so they didn’t know Tong Shuitao and the others.

However, she lowered her voice.

“Then the Gu Family Workshop was recruiting yesterday. If we come today, they definitely won’t want you anymore. Tell me, why did you specially make a trip? You’re so tired.”

The woman who spoke looked a few years older than Madam Yang. The person walking beside her should be her son. He looked fair and refined, but his body was a little thin.

From what they said, they were applying for jobs at the Gu Family’s workshop?

However, this young man did not look like he was good at work. It was as if he could not even lift a bucket of water.

When the youth heard his mother’s words, he was a little annoyed. “Mother, that’s enough. I’ve already said that if you heard that the Gu family was recruiting again, you should have told me earlier. However, you just had to hide it from me. If you had told me yesterday, would we have missed this opportunity?”

The woman was a little dissatisfied. “What’s there to tell you? Why don’t you take a look at your own status? You’re an Elementary Scholar and you’re knowledgeable. In the future, you’ll take the High Scholar examination and become an official. You’re not studying at home for no reason, but you have to come to a small workshop in the village to find work. Have you become stupid from studying?”

Gu Yundong was surprised. He was actually a scholar? And an Elementary Scholar?

It was not that Gu Yundong looked down on her own workshop, but based on the current situation, her small workshop should not be able to attract a scholar to work, right?

Gu Yundong was a little confused and could not help but take a few more glances at the young man.

However, before she could take a closer look, a pair of hands suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her vision.

Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment before she heard Shao Qingyuan’s deep voice. “Is he very good-looking?”

Huh??

The voice was very close, and it sounded like he was gritting his teeth.

Gu Yundong could clearly hear the jealousy in his tone. For some reason, she was in a good mood.

She pulled his hand down, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

“Not as good-looking as you.”

Shao Qingyuan’s body suddenly froze. A wave of frustration surged up, making his throat go dry.

He suddenly reached back with one hand to cover the big black eyes that were curiously turning in his direction. His other hand wrapped around Gu Yundong’s waist and pulled her tightly into his arms.

Gu Yundong was surprised. The next moment, she felt a warmth in her ear and was gently bitten.

She suddenly shuddered, and the blood in her body instantly boiled.

F*ck, this man…

However, Shao Qingyuan had already let go of her. He turned his head and said to Tong Shuitao, “Hurry up.”

The carriage arrived at a spacious place and sped up in an instant.

Shao Qingyuan turned around and met Gu Yundong’s shining gaze.

He coughed lightly and felt a little uncomfortable. “I’m just reciprocating.”

If he was jealous, so be it. To hell with reciprocating.

Gu Yundong snorted and reached out to rub his face. “You have to control yourself. I’m not of marriageable age yet.”

Shao Qingyuan was speechless. You were the one who kissed me first.

However, he smiled and said, “You’ll be coming of age next month. You’ll be fine then?”
