Wen Lu slept at home for a day and a night before waking up. She knew that Wang Jinyu fed her during that time, but no matter what she did, she couldn't wake up.

Hearing the commotion from Wen Lu's side, Wang Jinyu, who was in the room with her, turned around and looked at Wen Lu. Wen Lu reached out to Wang Jinyu, wanting a hug.

Looking at Wen Lu's confused yet adorable appearance, Wang Jinyu gave her a doting smile, put the tablet computer in his hand on the table next to him, walked to the bedside, and reached out to hug Wen Lu in his arms.

Are you awake now?

"Hmm, you're awake now. How are things? Have you heard anything about Yan Hao? Was the surgery successful? Did he get an infection?"

Wen Lu nestled in Wang Jinyu's arms, finding a comfortable position, and drifted off to sleep again.

Wang Jinyu held Wen Lu in his arms and told her about Yan Hao's physical condition. Not long after, he heard the person in his arms breathing steadily again.

Looking at Wen Lu sleeping peacefully in his arms, Wang Jinyu couldn't help but frown. For some reason, he felt that something seemed off about Wen Lu's condition.

He remembered Yan Luo saying that the more sleepy Wen Lu was, the worse her health was. He was conflicted and wondered if he should contact Yan Luo about this.

Just as Wang Jinyu was considering whether to ask Yan Luo to come back and check on him, his phone rang. When he turned over to get his phone, he woke up Wen Lu, who was in his arms.

Wen Lu opened her eyes and looked at Wang Jinyu. Her brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, as if she was a little irritated. She turned over and wanted to roll to the other side.

However, before he could turn over, Wang Jinyu pulled him back by the waist and pressed his face against Wen Lu's face, gently rubbing against him.

"Honey, are you feeling unwell? If you are, I'll take you to the hospital. I'm really worried about you sleeping like this."

Hearing Wang Jinyu's soft yet nervous voice, Wen Lu became a little more awake. Her bright, hazy eyes stared intently at Wang Jinyu before she slowly spoke after a while.

"I feel pretty good. I don't have any discomfort. I'm just sleepy, and there are no other problems."

Wen Lu reached out and grabbed Wang Jinyu's hand, placing it against her heart so that Wang Jinyu could feel her heartbeat.

"I feel much better than I was a few days after I came back. I've been feeling much more energetic lately since I haven't had any IV drips. If there's anything wrong with me, it's that I was too tired from the surgery the other day, so I was a bit sleepy."

Wen Lu suddenly stretched, grabbed Wang Jinyu's hand, sat up from the bed, pounced on Wang Jinyu, and kissed his lips, making a muffled sound.

"I want..."

After they finished their playful antics, Wang Jinyu carried Wen Lu to the bathroom for a shower, then changed her into a set of pajamas, adjusted the air conditioning, and gently kissed her lips.

"Sleep a little longer, come on I'll go buy you some food. There's still some seafood in broth that Grandma Xiao gave you in the fridge, I don't know if it's still edible. If you don't want it, I'll just throw it downstairs."

"Just throw it away, I don't really want to eat it. I suddenly have a craving for beef noodles, could you bring me back a bowl of beef noodles?"

Wen Lu suddenly had a strong craving for beef noodles, but she didn't know if the beef noodles would taste like the ones she was imagining, and she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to eat them.

Hearing that Wen Lu had something she wanted to eat, Wang Jinyu was quite happy. If she had something she wanted to eat, he wouldn't have to worry about her not having a good appetite.

After Wang Jinyu left, Wen Lu got out of bed and dialed You Ge's voice call. The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Xiao Jiu? What's up calling at this hour?"

Hearing You Ge's groggy voice, Wen Lu picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to realize that there was a time difference between her and You Ge. However, since the voice call had already gone through, she didn't plan to hang up.

"I wanted to ask you, did the group of people who went to F Continent return? Did they get what they wanted?"

"No, they've lost contact. Those old guys in Mingyun Continent are getting restless and want to send people to F Continent, but for some reason, it's stalled again."

"I heard a rumor that those people might have been dealt with by the local thugs in F continent, and they probably won't come back alive."

As You Ge said this, he couldn't help but laugh, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"They knew there were tigers in the mountains, yet they still went to the mountains they knew were dangerous. They deserved to die, and there was nothing they could do about it."

Wen Lu's emotions were complicated as she listened to You Ge's words. She wasn't worried about the people from Mingyun Continent, but rather that more and more of them would emerge, which would inevitably cause trouble for Wang Jinyu's men, since the weapons they used were somewhat despicable.

“Hey, Xiao Jiu, why aren’t you saying anything? You said last time that you were assassinated. Are you alright? Where are you? When are you coming back? Have you heard about something about the research institute? There’s a laboratory in Qingmochuan that’s researching the same things as the research institute in Mingyunzhou. The elders have already sent people over to investigate.”

Wen Lu listened to You Ge's words and smiled gently. She didn't expect Ming Yunzhou's nose to be so long. She had hidden the laboratory in such a remote place as Qingmochuan, and they still managed to find it.

"When did this happen? I've never heard of this before. How much do you know about Qingmochuan?"

"I don't know much. I only heard it from my father. As you know, the people in the Elders' Council don't have much credibility. I'm afraid it's just a gimmick."

You Ge didn't say it explicitly, but it was quite clear. Wen Lu understood the meaning behind his words; he was hinting at something to her.

"You Ge, you're starting to play mind games with me, aren't you? Did you tell your dad about me contacting you? Did your dad deliberately leak this to you so you'd ask me if that lab is connected to my parents? You Ge, you've changed. You're no longer my best friend?"

Wen Lu spoke with a hint of disappointment. She really didn't expect that her friend, who had climbed out of the mud with her since childhood, would turn out like this.

"Forget it, I'll pretend I never made that call, and I'll act like I don't have you as a friend anymore. You Ge, I guess I misjudged you."

Wen Lu smiled in disappointment. She didn't care whether You Ge did this for the benefit of the family; she just hoped that their relationship could be pure, but now it seemed impossible.

After Wen Lu finished speaking, she hung up the voice call immediately. She closed her eyes sadly. Sure enough, everyone changes when faced with interests.
