Gu Garden.

Shangguan Wu walked into the living room, and Uncle Zhang walked towards him.

"Fourth Young Madam, you're back."

"Hmm, is he asleep?"

As Shangguan Wu walked toward the elevator, he asked.

Uncle Zhang looked at her with concern: "Did the Fourth Young Madam and the Fourth Young Master quarrel? During dinner, the Fourth Young Master looked at his phone several times. I guess he wanted to call you, but was too embarrassed to do so."

Shangguan Wu turned around and glanced at him in surprise, then pressed the elevator button and went inside.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, we didn't argue. You should go to sleep early."

Uncle Zhang nodded repeatedly: "Alright, I'll go to sleep now. Goodnight, Fourth Young Madam."

Goodnight, Uncle Zhang.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Shangguan Wu's lips involuntarily curled into a smile.

Little did she know that in the bedroom at that moment, Gu Yunzhen was listening to Anan's report and frowned at her behavior of ignoring advice and insisting on risking her life.

Shangguan Wu happily entered the bedroom, which was pitch black. By the light from the hallway, he could vaguely see a person lying on the bed.

Is he asleep?

She closed the door gently.

After taking only two steps, a deep, magnetic male voice rang out: "Want to slip and fall flat on your face again? Turn on the lights!"

It was instantly as bright as day.

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched; that mouth was a bit venomous.

However, she looked at the man on the bed with a smile in her eyes: "Honey, you're still awake? Were you waiting for me?"

Gu Yunzhen said in a cool tone, "Want me to wake up while I'm asleep?"

Shangguan Wu: "..."

"I'm going to take a shower."

She went into his walk-in closet, took some clothes, and headed to the bathroom.

Gu Yunzhen watched her walk into the bathroom without looking at him, his brows furrowing deeply. She came back so late without a single explanation.

Also, how did her clothes end up in his walk-in closet?

Gu Yunzhen stared at the closed bathroom door, her thin lips pressed into a straight line.

After taking a relaxing shower, Shangguan Wu was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open. She got out of bed and said, "Turn off the lights."

The room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

Gu Yunzhen suddenly spoke up: "Shangguan Wu."

Shangguan Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she deliberately made a coquettish "uh-huh" sound: "Honey~ I'm so sleepy, can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Gu Yunzhen's Adam's apple twitched slightly.

But the thought that she had the energy to run around all day but didn't have time to say a few words made his handsome face darken even more.

Shangguan Wu held her breath and waited for two minutes. When she didn't hear him speak, she let herself fall into a deep sleep.

A moment later, Gu Yunzhen heard her even breathing. She turned her head to look, but could only see a faint outline in the darkness.

Was she truly exhausted, or was she feeling guilty?

She's tired and doesn't know to come back earlier. Is the Han family really worth all this trouble? She should just tell him when she gets back, and then the Han family won't need to stay in Changteng City.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhen was taken aback.

What is he thinking?

The night outside the window grew deeper, with a full moon hanging in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars.

As the sun gradually rises in the east, a hazy full moon can be faintly seen on the horizon.

Shangguan Wu woke up naturally.

She immediately turned her head and saw the man sitting upright against the headboard, holding a laptop and looking at something. She smiled and said, "Good morning, honey~"

Gu Yunzhen glanced at her with a cool gaze.

Shangguan Wu felt a sudden surge of nervousness: "Honey, what are you looking at?"

Gu Yunzhen turned the laptop screen towards her.

Looking at the screen full of red and green bars, Shangguan Wu felt a little dizzy. She pushed the bar away and placed her hand on him, moving closer to him as if she were hugging him.

Suddenly, she realized that something was missing.

"Where's your cane? Did you take it down?" Shangguan Wu looked at him with bright eyes.

Gu Yunzhen gave a nonchalant "hmm".

Shangguan Wu thought he hadn't placed it in the middle last night, and pouted.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhen lowered his head, his deep gaze sweeping over her: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

When Shangguan Wu met his gaze unexpectedly, it was as if she had crashed into a black hole in the universe, with a mysterious and dangerous look, and a chilling coldness that made her scalp tingle.

"Yes, I want to talk to you a lot every day, but I'm afraid you'll get annoyed with me and ignore me."

As Shangguan Wu spoke slowly, she observed his expression, noticing that his nerves gradually tightened when his brows furrowed.

Just then, her phone rang.

"Wow, honey, I need to take this call first!"

What a kind person, they saved her.

Shangguan Wu turned over to grab her phone from the bedside table. When she saw that the caller was her older sister, she smiled instantly.

"Good morning, big sister!"

Hearing her clearly cheerful voice, Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes darkened slightly.

Shangguan Xue's gentle voice came through the phone: "Wu Bao, have you set off yet?"

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "I'm still in bed..."

Shangguan Xue said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you last night that if you come here to play, your brother-in-law can come along too. You can take a walk around the area; the scenery is quite nice."

Shangguan Wu let out a soft "Eh."

She turned to look at Gu Yunzhen, who was working, and sighed, "I wanted to take him with me, but he just got up and started working. Let's go another time."

Gu Yunzhen suddenly spoke up: "It's not work."

Shangguan Wu's beautiful eyes widened instantly.

On the other end of the phone, Shangguan Xue felt a little embarrassed, thinking that Wu Bao hadn't gotten up yet, and said, "Wu Bao, you guys continue working, I won't disturb you anymore, bye-bye."

"Well!"

Shangguan Wu stared at her phone screen for two seconds before asking, "Honey, did my older sister misunderstand something?"

Gu Yunzhen clenched her right fist where she couldn't see it, then quickly released it.

"I don't know," he said.

Shangguan Wu put down her phone and winked at him: "Is there anything you don't know? Honey, since my older sister has already misunderstood, shouldn't we just stick to the facts?"

Gu Yunzhen's dark eyes grew even deeper.

What do you want to do?

“Of course…” Shangguan Wu climbed on top of him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and offered her lips: “A good morning kiss!”

As the last note faded, her lips touched the corner of his mouth.

She first tentatively kissed him, and when he didn't push her away, she kissed him again, twice, three or four times.

Suddenly, a large hand wrapped around her waist.

Shangguan Wu's delicate body trembled.

She opened her eyes and looked at Gu Yunzhen, clearly seeing the small flame flickering in his eyes.

This... is a bit too much.

Just as Shangguan Wu was about to leave, she heard a snap as Gu Yunzhen closed the laptop with her other hand and then pressed down on the back of her head.

Her instincts told her there was danger; run!

"Wait a minute, honey, we need to get up and go to my older sister's place. She's in the suburbs, mmm..."

Gu Yunzhen was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and sealed her lips with a kiss.
