“Upon hearing these words, Jin Long was momentarily stunned, then his inner joy reached a new height.

Su Shen was hailed as a ‘military wolf’ among female soldiers in the army, and now in the village, he was the wealthy and handsome single man in the eyes of women.

His image always elicited admiration and envy, but this girl described Su Shen as old and ugly.

“Hahaha!” Jin Long found it highly amusing; he couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

Just to tease her a bit, he added, “Men all look the same when the lights are off, you shouldn’t judge solely based on appearance!”

Unaware of why he found it so amusing, Gong Xin thought this man was quite affable.

She calmly shook her head. She believed that Gu Zi was probably captivated by the old man’s money, but she refrained from expressing it.

After all, Gu Zi was going to live here, and voicing her thoughts might make her future life difficult.

“I mean, Gu Zi is radiant wherever she goes, right? I still think she deserves a handsome guy.”

Seeing her seriousness, Jin Long stopped laughing and curiously asked, “Have you met our boss? How do you know he’s unattractive?”

Jin Long knew she probably hadn’t met Su Shen, but he found the girl intriguing and couldn’t help asking a few more questions.

“At thirty years old, the boss of a pig farm — I’ve encountered such characters before. Isn’t he just round-faced, with big ears, a big belly, short stature, and balding? But as the saying goes, ‘nine out of ten bald men are rich…”‘

As Gong Xin spoke, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, sending shivers through her body.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open, and Gu Zi entered, followed by a tall man.

The man was tall and handsome, even more appealing than Jin Long. His demeanor exuded sophistication. Gong Xin found it inexplicably fitting for him to stand beside Gu Zi.

Gong Xin hadn’t expected to find so many handsome men in this small countryside.

However, there was a cold aura about this man, making him seem distant and hard to approach.

Comparatively, Gong Xin found Jin Long to be more approachable.

As the man approached, Gu Zi hurriedly covered Gong Xin’s mouth, whispering, “Please stop talking, my dear friend.”

If she continued, Su Shen’s image would be completely ruined, especially since Su Shen was standing right there, overhearing everything.

What made Gu Zi even more embarrassed was that Gong Xin’s description coincided with the image she had of Su Shen before.

Gong Xin was truly an amazing friend.

Gong Xin asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you go deliver food to your man?”

Initially, she wanted to mention ‘old man,’ but when she saw the stern expression behind Gu Zi, she refrained from using the word ‘old.’

Gu Zi coughed lightly and introduced, “This is my fiancé, Su Shen. He’s sorted out things at the water source and I asked him to return to the office to have soup.”

While Gu Zi spoke, Su Shen politely greeted and exchanged pleasantries with Gong Xin.

Gong Xin was completely stunned.

She incredulously looked at Gu Zi, forcing a stiff smile, “Th-this, I must say Gu

Zi has a good eye, you guys look like a match made in heaven!”

Gong Xin felt the air around her suffused with awkwardness. If possible, she wished she could vanish into thin air.

Feeling awkward, she stood stiffly behind Jin Long. She didn’t care if they were familiar or not; he seemed sturdy enough to shield her.

Jin Long didn’t say anything; seeing Su Shen and recalling Gong Xin’s description from earlier, he struggled to contain his laughter.

Su Shen glanced at him, and he immediately quieted down.

To alleviate the suffocating atmosphere, Gu Zi said to Gong Xin, “You’ve seen him now, so you can relax. Let’s go; I’ll take you to the station.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Xin felt a sense of relief. After all, she had spoken ill of someone in their presence and had no intention of staying longer.

In a deep voice, Su Shen spoke, “Let Jin Long take her; he can drive, which is faster than walking.”

Jin Long agreed but mentioned that he needed to take motion sickness pills first.

Could he not see the intention behind his boss’s words? Brother Shen wanted some alone time with his wife.

Gong Xin also consented.

As Jin Long escorted Gong Xin out, he conveniently closed the office door, leaving Gu Zi and Su Shen alone in the room.

Gu Zi blushed and dared not look at Su Shen; she had just witnessed how he reprimanded someone earlier..
