Seeing that Meng Fuyan remained silent, Gu Tingzhi knew that he was right.

"So don't be afraid. I know what kind of girl I like. I will help you. You're married to me, so we're one. Your enemies are my enemies, and I'll fight them with you."

"As for going abroad, you don't necessarily have to contact the Meng family overseas through this human trafficking case. Give me some time, and I'll find a way to take you there."

Meng Fuyan was taken aback. "Take me with you? You're coming with me? Can you even leave the country?"

Gu Tingzhi kissed her again. "If I can't go with this identity, can't I just change it? Besides, what if the higher-ups approve my trip?"

Meng Fuyan was surprised and wanted to ask a few more questions, but before she could open her mouth, the kiss landed. Gu Tingzhi's patience ran out, and he didn't want to delay any longer. Her loose pajamas were easily torn off, and he unbuttoned his own clothes, pressing his skin against hers. This wonderful feeling made him tremble uncontrollably.

The girl in his arms seemed a little nervous, so he quickly reassured her, "Don't be afraid. I told you, I'll give you whatever you want. Just stay with me."

If a man you've liked for a long time suddenly hugs and kisses you, will you be moved?

Of course she would. A girl's body is very honest. If she doesn't like a man, she will feel disgusted if he looks at her too much. How could she allow him to be so intimate with her?

The feeling of their breaths mingling together made her unable to resist reaching out and tightly hugging the man on her body, feeling the powerful strength emanating from him.

"You... be gentle, or I'll stop talking to you!"

The man on top of him instantly felt encouraged, a wave of heat washing over his ears, "Good..."

In the long night, a feeling of ecstasy, as if ascending to heaven, washed over him. In the dim light, he could see the girl he loved, looking so comfortable she was about to cry. Normally, he would feel heartbroken if she shed even a single tear, but at this moment, he adored her tearful face...

The next morning, when Meng Fuyan woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window; it was eight o'clock in the morning.

She had already put her pajamas back on, and Gu Tingzhi was no longer by her side. Meng Fuyan huddled in the blankets, the events of last night flashing through her mind. She remembered a sentence her mother had once told her.

Mom said that when she grows up, she must be with someone she loves. Only a man she loves will make her feel happy.

She sensed it last night.

Perhaps because she drank too much spiritual spring water, although she was tired last night, she slept well and didn't feel too uncomfortable. Meng Fuyan changed into a new set of clothes, washed up, and even put on some simple makeup because she was in a good mood.

After going downstairs, she heard voices coming from the kitchen. When she went to take a look, she saw the same person from last night.

Gu Tingzhi was sitting at the table, making dumplings with Meng Yunji.

"Sister, you're here! Come and eat the dumplings I made. Brother Gu taught me how to make dumplings!"

Meng Yunji's little face was full of excitement, with some flour still on it. She held up the dumplings and looked at them expectantly.

Meng Fuyan smiled and praised, "Hmm, Yun Ji is really amazing, these dumplings are so beautifully wrapped!"

Feeling pleased with her sister's praise, Meng Yunji said, "Sister, Brother Gu came over early this morning and brought me breakfast. I didn't wake you because you weren't up yet."

Meng Fuyan: "..."

You silly goose, you've been fooled by your brother Gu.

Gu Tingzhi, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow at her, his eyes somewhat ambiguous, "You're such a grown-up, and you still like to sleep in?"

Meng Fuyan blushed slightly and glared at him. "I'm happy to sleep. There's nothing special going on. I can sleep as late as I want."

Gu Tingzhi nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“I bought some steamed buns, and Yunji and I have already eaten them. We don’t have anything else to do, so we might as well make some dumplings. In this weather, we can freeze them and they’ll last you for several days. There are only two of you, and it’s too much trouble to cook every meal. With dumplings, if you don’t feel like cooking in the morning or evening, you can just boil some dumplings.”

Meng Fuyan glanced at Gu Tingzhi and, seeing his radiant face and high spirits, couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

He came to see her in the middle of the night last night and barely slept for the rest of the night. Later, she was so tired that she could still feel his resistance in her sleep. At that time, she was lying on the bed with the balcony window slightly open for ventilation. The wind blew up a corner of the curtains, and she opened her eyes groggily. It was already slightly white outside.

She was so exhausted that she had no strength left. Her body was going back and forth between being filled and being emptied. At that moment, she couldn't possibly be dreaming, could she?

He probably didn't get much rest; he left before dawn. When she came downstairs at 8:30, he was already making dumplings.

To be so energetic after not sleeping all night... I have to say Miss Meng is a little envious.

With this kind of energy, what great undertaking can't they accomplish in the future?

Meng Fuyan lay lazily to one side, lost in thought.

Seeing that she seemed listless, Gu Tingzhi thought that he had hurt her by being too excited last night. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you eat something and go back to sleep for a while? There are still some steamed buns in the pot. What would you like to eat? Dumplings or noodles are fine too, I'll make them for you."

Meng Fuyan lay on the table, raised her eyelids to look at the dumplings in front of her, and lazily said like a docile cat, "Eat dumplings."

Gu Tingzhi nodded, "Okay, I'll cook you a bowl of dumplings in a bit."

He got up, took out a thermos from his backpack containing chicken soup he had prepared, poured it into a small pot, put it on the stove to boil, and then put dumplings in to cook.

The aroma of chicken soup is definitely different from that of ordinary water. Meng Yunji was focused on making dumplings, but when she smelled the aroma, she took a deep sniff and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

The siblings turned their heads together and looked in the direction of the stove.

Gu Tingzhi didn't explain. Soon the dumplings were cooked, and he ladled a bowl of them and placed it in front of Meng Fuyan.

Chicken soup dumplings, with two large chicken drumsticks inside.

"Here, drink more to nourish your body."

Meng Yunji was stunned for a moment, "Brother Gu, you even brought chicken soup?"

Gu Tingzhi said without batting an eye, "That's right! Your sister is a girl, she's afraid of the cold, so she should drink more hot and nutritious soup in winter, it's good for her health!"

Meng Yunji nodded seriously, "I see! Then I'll make more soup for my sister in the future."

Gu Tingzhi looked at him approvingly, "Good boy, I'll teach you how to make soup in the future. I can make many kinds of nutritious soups."

Meng Yunji immediately nodded, "Great! Brother Gu, you know so much, you're amazing!"

Meng Fuyan, who was listening from the side, almost rolled her eyes. This guy was really good at fooling people. She clearly remembered that he wasn't very good at cooking at first.

While drinking her soup, Meng Fuyan glanced up at Gu Tingzhi and asked, "When was this soup made?"

Gu Tingzhi could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes, so he didn't hide it and smiled and said, "I stayed up late yesterday afternoon after I arrived here."
