Gu Yilou was stunned and apologized to her, "I'm sorry, I forgot what holiday it was yesterday."

Jiang Yu's expression stiffened slightly: "Yesterday wasn't a holiday."

Sitting opposite, Shangguan Wu secretly nudged Gu Yunzhen's arm.

When Gu Yunzhen looked over, she blinked: Is Big Brother really that much of a straight man?

Gu Yunzhen's gaze sharpened slightly. What did that mean?

Shangguan Wu looked at his eyes and her lips twitched. Saying that her older brother was straight was like saying that her husband wasn't straight. She should just feel sorry for herself.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu frowned, looking puzzled, and asked, "How come the perfume is in the trash can?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the maid raised her hand and swore, "I swear, I really did pick it up from the trash can. If I didn't, may I die a horrible death!"

Jiang Yu suddenly frowned, her aura becoming increasingly imposing: "Are you implying that I'm lying?"

The maid, pale with fright, waved her hands frantically, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say I didn't steal..."

Jiang Yu's eyes flickered, and she said coldly, "There are no cameras in the bedroom, so you can say whatever you want."

The maid was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. She regretted picking up the perfume and was about to explain herself when...

Shangguan Wu suddenly spoke up: "Big brother, sister-in-law, let's eat first. The food won't taste good if it gets cold, and my husband and I haven't had breakfast yet. We're so hungry!"

She carefully observed their expressions and figured out what was going on, but once she exposed the truth, she couldn't eat the meal.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes. He glanced at her, then picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Seeing this, Gu Yilou instructed Uncle Qiao, "Uncle Qiao, take her away."

"Yes, young master."

Job took the maid away. The maid kept explaining to Job that she hadn't stolen it, but she didn't know why the perfume was in the trash can.

Job reassured her, "Don't worry, the young master won't send you to the police station."

The eldest young mistress definitely doesn't want to see her again. Uncle Qiao believed her words; she wouldn't be stupid enough to steal perfume and dare to use it at the Gu residence. Besides, the Gu family's servants are all strictly screened; those with dirty hands wouldn't be allowed in.

But either she stole it, or the eldest young mistress threw it away. In that case, the eldest young mistress and the fourth young mistress would be in an awkward position.

The way the Fourth Young Mistress acted just now was very magnanimous.

This avoided embarrassment and also saved face for the young mistress.

Thinking of the young mistress's words, Uncle Qiao shook his head, looked at the maid, and said regretfully, "However, you can no longer work at the Gu residence."

The maid had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what George said, and she was stunned.

"According to the employment contract, if we dismiss you, we will pay you an extra six months' salary. We wish you find a good job," Job said.

The maid, who hadn't expected to receive six months' salary, said earnestly, "Thank you, Uncle Joe."

But today's events taught her a lesson: even if the owner discards something, she can no longer take it back!

The atmosphere in the dining room was somewhat awkward at that moment.

Jiang Yu opened her mouth, wanting to say that the matter had not been investigated yet, but looking at the expressions of the other three people at the table, it seemed that this was just a trivial matter. Besides, investigating it would not do her any good, so she simply kept quiet.

Shangguan Wu didn't have anything to say.

She was certain that Jiang Yu hadn't opened the bottle, but she figured if she threw it away, it was Jiang Yu's fault for not recognizing its value.

Of course, that won't happen again.

Shangguan Wu wouldn't give her a second chance!

Suddenly, a piece of shrimp appeared in her bowl. It was already peeled and dipped in sauce, ready to be eaten.

Shangguan Wu turned her head in surprise and saw Gu Yunzhen peeling shrimp. His fingers were long and nimble, and even the way he peeled the shrimp shells was so beautiful. It was really amazing.

But he was peeling shrimp for her?

Gu Yunzhen actually peeled shrimp for her?

She was utterly incredulous; she was utterly shocked!

The couple opposite were also stunned.

Gu Yilou: "..." Is this really his cold and heartless younger brother?

Jiang Yu: "..." Fourth brother is already captivated by Shangguan Wu. Does she really want to become Shangguan Wu's sister-in-law?

Gu Yunzhen noticed Shangguan Wu's gaze, peeled the shrimp in her hand, put it in a small dish, pushed it in front of her, and moved the dipping sauce over.

In an instant, Shangguan Wu couldn't stop smiling and asked him with a smile, "Honey, you've given me everything, what are you going to eat?"

"Don't you like to eat it?"

Gu Yunzhen spoke of it casually.

Looking into Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes, Shangguan Wu had a strange intuition that he was trying to make her happy in his own way.

This discovery made her feel as if she were eating honey while eating shrimp; her mouth was filled with a sweet taste, and it gradually melted into her heart.

If this were Gu Garden, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist sitting in his lap, kissing his eyes, kissing his lips, kissing his Adam's apple...

Unfortunately, no.

Shangguan Wu could only eat while gazing at him with tender affection.

Gu Yunzhen's ears burned under her intense gaze. He took off his gloves, wiped his hands clean, and said four words to her: "Focus on your food."

Shangguan Wu smiled sweetly and said, "Okay!"

The atmosphere between the two seemed to be filled with invisible pink bubbles.

Gu Yilou sighed inwardly, "My youngest brother has grown up too!"

But Jiang Yu was unhappy, thinking that Shangguan Wu was deliberately showing off his affection in front of her and stealing her thunder!

After dinner, the four of them went to the living room.

Gu Yilou glanced at the time and said to Gu Yunzhen, "I have to go to the company. Are you going to have dinner before going back, or what are your plans?"
