Though it was old, it was still warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan draped a military greatcoat over Gu Jiaojiao, shielding her from the cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatcoat was Leng Yuan’s and carried his faint, clean scent of soap. It was a pleasant smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng ManCang gave a shout, and the donkey cart lurched into motion. The road was rough, causing the cart to sway back and forth like a cradle. Gu Jiaojiao grew drowsy and couldn’t help but lean against Leng Yuan, closing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was hardly anyone on the main road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a day with such heavy snow, no one would venture out unless they had shopping to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan wrapped an arm around Gu Jiaojiao’s shoulders. He gazed down at her peaceful sleeping face, his own expression softening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even pulled the greatcoat tighter around her, not letting a single wisp of cold wind find its way in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng ManCang watched how Leng Yuan doted on Gu Jiaojiao, feeling utterly amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cousin had been cold since childhood, treating everyone with the same detached attitude, as if he were incapable of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought Leng Yuan would go his whole life without ever experiencing human feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that after marrying Gu Jiaojiao, Leng Yuan would become more and more human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng ManCang’s gaze rested on Gu Jiaojiao for a moment, and a chill suddenly shot up his spine. He couldn’t help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head and met Leng Yuan’s dark, brooding eyes, which held a ruthless glint in their depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng ManCang was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a nervous laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just curious seeing you two together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cousin of his was a ruthless man; the memory of being beaten half to death by him was still fresh in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan coolly looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warning had been given. Leng ManCang now knew where to keep his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Leng ManCang certainly did. He focused on driving the donkey cart, even deliberately slowing his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes remained fixed on the road ahead, not daring to glance back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang also wisely kept quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey, which should have taken just over an hour, ended up lasting more than two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the System’s directions, Xu Wenwan arrived at the East Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went inside only to find that there was no one there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the deserted East Market, completely bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There’s not a single person here. Why did you make me come?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System had originally wanted Xu Wenwan to see a scene of Gu Jiaojiao together with Lu Yuanbin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, it would have told her that Gu Jiaojiao, by getting close to Leng Yuan, had already stolen her fated opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Xu Wenwan’s jealousy of Gu Jiaojiao, she would have surely found an opportunity to absorb the good fortune from Leng Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was clearly a step too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, it decided that wasn’t a good plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be better to force Xu Wenwan into a desperate situation. Once she was backed into a corner, she would naturally stop hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, the System had her cross through the East Market to the street on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan was getting impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she figured the System must be doing this for her own good, so she suppressed her irritation and followed the street out of the East Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she stepped out, she caught sight of Leng Yuan on the cart, draping the military greatcoat over Gu Jiaojiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s handsome face, usually so cold and cruel, was now exceptionally gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In the novel, Leng Yuan clearly didn’t like Gu Jiaojiao, and he certainly hadn’t married her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But now, not only were they married, they seemed to be getting along very well.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One look at Gu Jiaojiao’s fair, supple face, and it was obvious she hadn’t suffered any hardships.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’At first, she’d assumed it was a butterfly effect caused by her transmigrating into the book.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But now, it was all starting to feel increasingly strange.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After Gu Jiaojiao married, her life just kept getting better. Meanwhile, ever since she herself had arrived, she had only become more and more unlucky.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her own family was only nice to her when they were absorbing someone else’s good fortune; otherwise, they treated her with utter disdain.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Xu Wenwan’s heart constricted with resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There’s something very wrong with this Gu Jiaojiao.’\u003C\u002Fp>",875,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","d515cb9eee18b5b5e708ce635d104332bf804455139728ced700f7c0cce3d16f","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-108","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-107",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
