Gu Yanshen's gaze swept over the pile of sturdy wooden planks and green bricks in the courtyard, finally fixing on Lin Wanyi's face, which was dust-streaked but smiling like a cat that had stolen cream.
Beside him, Li Yingzhang saw Gu Yanshen and squeezed a sincere smile from his tanned face, rubbing his hands a bit awkwardly: "Mr. Gu, you're back! Your wife said she wanted to tidy up the house, so I... I just brought over some materials we weren't using at home."
Lin Wanyi stepped forward naturally and stood beside Gu Yanshen, her petite figure creating an oddly harmonious effect next to his tall frame.
"Brother Li, thank you so much for today. Next time, I'll have Old Gu bring some wine to your house as a thank you!" Her voice was crisp, and every word smoothly arranged Gu Yanshen's responsibilities.
"No need, no need!" Li Yingzhang waved his hands repeatedly, glancing at Gu Yanshen, and after receiving a nod of approval, retreated as if granted a great pardon.
