You have a man who buys you a watch. If I had a watch, I wouldn’t have been late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao glanced at Xu Wenwan and chuckled. \"You just won’t be happy until I snap back at you, will you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are so many people on this ox-cart. I’m the only one with a watch, yet everyone else managed to be on time except for you. And now you’re trying to drag me into this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can’t see the time, can’t you ask someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want a watch that badly, go find a man of your own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I just wonder if Yun Hao would be willing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan was fuming internally, but she put on an innocent expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Zhiqing, how can you think that way? We women should be independent. We can’t rely on men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao feigned surprise. \"Oh? So when you get married, you won’t want a betrothal gift or the ’three big items’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course she wanted a betrothal gift.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she remembered that the watch on Gu Jiaojiao’s wrist was apparently a betrothal gift from Leng Yuan, so she steeled herself and said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re women of the new era. As long as two people love each other, that’s all that matters. A betrothal gift isn’t important. What’s most important is the other person’s feelings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speech about being a \"woman of the new era\" left everyone stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people on the cart stared at Xu Wenwan as if she were an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yu Fangfang couldn’t help but cover her face, wishing she could pretend she didn’t know Xu Wenwan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t bear the second-hand embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao, however, wasn’t surprised in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, Xu Wenwan, you’re so progressive. As expected of the village chief’s daughter. You really are in a class of your own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan lifted her chin, shooting Gu Jiaojiao a disdainful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does she think everyone is as unsophisticated as her? It’s just a watch. Is that really something to show off?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan grew even prouder. She’d argued Gu Jiaojiao into silence. Her foul mood finally lifted a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a man with bird’s-nest hair rode his bicycle to the foot of the mountain in Qingshan Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the locked iron gate, he knew Leng Yuan wasn’t home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited at the gate for a while, but Leng Yuan didn’t return. He had no choice but to scrawl a few words on a note, stick it to the gate, and hurry away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Gu Jiaojiao got back, the sky was already growing dark. She returned home to find that Leng Yuan still hadn’t come back, and she couldn’t help but worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xu Wenwan, who had also hurried back, was informed by her system that the man had already left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan: ...!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, were you sent by my enemies to torment me? Were you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was on the verge of a breakdown. She desperately wanted to unbind from this garbage system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system, knowing it was at fault, remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Xu Wenwan had a sour look on her face the moment she got off the ox-cart, as if someone owed her a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Xu couldn’t stand his daughter’s sullen attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why the long face? You go out and have fun all day without doing a lick of work, and you still have the nerve to give everyone a dirty look? I see I’ve spoiled you too much. Starting tomorrow, you’re helping sweep the courtyard. If you don’t do a good job, you don’t eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan’s eyes instantly turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her day had been unlucky enough, and now she had to come home to a scolding from her father. This isn’t how she wrote it at all.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why was everyone’s attitude toward her completely different from what she had written?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan burst into angry tears, ran straight to her room, slammed the door shut, and threw herself onto the bed, sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaoli was not pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter shared a room with Xu Wenwan. With the door shut, how was her daughter supposed to get into the room to sleep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consequence of Chen Xiaoli’s anger was that Xu Chongfeng had to take his quilt and go sleep with their son. She was too annoyed to even look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>",818,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.759Z",1,"novelbin.me","f362e73bd499fa4641168ec5d2e6f3337e368da5483551eb878f7ac8d43c5f94","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-337","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-336",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
