Gu Yao's eyes lit up when she heard Wen Lu's words. It was a good thing that Mei Ying was going to come out of the mountains.

"As long as you are willing to come back, those people are willing to follow you. This time, you can do what you want to do without worry. We will definitely protect you."

Gu Yao stared intently at Wen Lu with her swollen, red eyes, her gaze burning with intensity. Now that Mei Ying was back, she felt her former fighting spirit return.

"Wen Lu, Gu Yao, dinner is ready!"

Qian Lailai stood outside the door and shouted loudly. Gu Yao smiled gently upon hearing Qian Lailai's words.

"This little girl is actually quite interesting; she actually dares to call you, her junior uncle, by your name."

Seeing that Gu Yao was in the mood to joke, Wen Lu gently patted Gu Yao's shoulder and said softly, "Go wash your face and then come out to eat."

As she spoke, Wen Lu walked out of Gu Yao's room. She felt that Gu Yao should be in a better mood now that she had said what was on her mind, and she didn't need to worry about him having any accidents.

When Wen Lu came out of Gu Yao's room, she saw that Wang Jinyu had just come out of the study. Looking at Wang Jinyu's somewhat gloomy face, she unconsciously took a step forward, walked to Wang Jinyu's side, and reached out to hug Wang Jinyu's waist.

"What's wrong? You don't look too good."

"It's nothing, just some trouble in F continent, but it's nothing serious."

Looking down into Wen Lu's bright, expressive eyes, Wang Jinyu felt a sudden softening in his heart, as if all his weariness had dissipated.

"Let's go eat first, and then we can deal with the follow-up matters after we finish eating."

Looking at Wang Jinyu's expression, Wen Lu roughly knew that Wang Jinyu was not telling her the truth. After all, since there were some things that Wang Jinyu was not comfortable saying, she did not need to force him to say them.

Wen Lu pulled Wang Jinyu to the dining table, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly as she looked at the takeout Qian Lailai had ordered.

"What? Why are you being so generous today? You actually ordered such a big table of food. It's not like you at all."

In Wen Lu's memory, Qian Lailai was a very stingy person. When they were on the mountain, if some of the senior brothers ate more, Qian Lailai would not be satisfied. Today, with such a big table of food, it can be said that Qian Lailai has really spent a lot of money.

"Hehehe, Junior Uncle, you're underestimating me by saying that. I used to be so stingy because I didn't have money, but today's takeout isn't my money, so of course I'll be more generous."

At this point, Qian Lailai gave Wen Lu a somewhat embarrassed smile. Wen Lu then remembered that Qian Lailai had used her phone to order the food.

"Okay, okay, that's pretty good. You've learned how to spend money. Now we won't have to worry about you feeling bad when you're out there alone. Alright, sit down and eat. We can't waste the money we spent on this table full of delicious food."

Wen Lu pulled Wang Jinyu to sit down at the dining table. Then, Gu Yao opened the door from the room. She was truly amazed by the seafood feast on the table. Such a lavish and comfortable meal was not in line with Qian Lailai's personality.

"Qian Lailai, have you changed your personality?"

"Sister Gu, why are you saying that about me too? You're making me sound like I'm particularly stingy. Okay, eat up. I couldn't resist sneaking a bite of a shrimp when you were plating it, and it was really delicious."

Seeing Qian Lailai's greedy expression, Wen Lu picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of lobster meat on Wang Jinyu's plate. Then she picked up a bowl of rice and started eating by herself. She hadn't eaten properly all day and felt like she was starving.

When Gu Yao was halfway through her meal, she stood up, walked to the refrigerator, looked at the beer inside, grabbed a few bottles, and sat down next to Qian Lailai.

"Little Lai Lai, do you know how to drink? How about I teach you?"

Upon hearing Gu Yao's invitation, Qian Lailai unconsciously looked at Wen Lu. Wen Lu knew that Gu Yao was still feeling resentful, so he nodded to Qian Lailai, indicating that it wouldn't hurt for Qian Lailai to have a drink with her.

With Gu Yao's permission, Qian Lailai smiled happily, like a kitten that had stolen a small fish, her whole demeanor lively and adorable.

Watching Gu Yao and Qian Lailai clinking glasses and chatting, Wen Lu suddenly felt a little tempted, but she still kept her distance and knew what she should and shouldn't do.

After dinner, Wen Lu glanced at Gu Yao and Qian Lailai, but did not stop them from drinking. She just turned to look at Wang Jinyu and spoke with a half-smile.

"I've checked. There are quite a few expensive bottles of wine in your liquor cabinet. I think you should tidy it up. After all, these two don't know their limits when it comes to drinking. If you drink them all, don't come to me for compensation. You know I'm very poor!"

Hearing Wen Lu's words, Wang Jinyu chuckled softly. The dignified Phantom, the invaluable Ghost Hand, actually said he was poor. It was truly laughable.

Looking at Wen Lu's arrogant and smug expression, Wang Jinyu smiled gently. He slowly approached Wen Lu and whispered in her ear.

"It's okay, just give me yourself, everything else is yours!"

Hearing Wang Jinyu suddenly say such cheesy words, Wen Lu's cheeks involuntarily flushed. He gently pushed Wang Jinyu, then stood up and coughed lightly.

"Well, they both have a high alcohol tolerance, so they'll probably go back to rest after they've had their fill. Let's have the housekeeper tidy up these things tomorrow."

After saying that, Wen Lu walked to the living room without waiting for Wang Jinyu's response, picked up his black backpack, and headed towards the bedroom.

Watching Wen Lu's departing figure, Wang Jinyu muttered "scumbag woman" under his breath before heading towards the study.

Wen Lu returned to her bedroom, the blush on her face had faded. She took out her laptop from her backpack, entered a string of code, and directly accessed the internal network of Mingyun Continent. She then browsed the recent events that had occurred in Mingyun Continent, finally focusing on a news article about F Continent.

Seeing that news, Wen Lu immediately thought of Wang Jinyu's headache earlier. She never expected that it was the people from Mingyunzhou who had caused trouble for Wang Jinyu.

Wen Lu made a voice call on the internal network. The call was answered after only a few rings.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you calling at this hour? What happened? I haven't heard from you in so long, and I couldn't reach you. Is something wrong?"

The moment the call connected, a clear, cold male voice came from the other end. Completely different from the previous male voice, this one was noticeably deep and cold.
