Gu Yunzhen frowned again.

Are you unhappy?

Shangguan Wu had been observing his expression, her tone both certain and questioning: "But why? You want me to like you for who you are, regardless of whether you're good or bad, and that it has nothing to do with any other factors, right?"

Gu Yunzhen stared at her intently, his eyes deep: "Continue."

Shangguan Wu took a deep breath and continued, "Originally, I wanted to have an open and honest talk with you after your leg healed."

But now that you've asked, if I don't tell you, you'll definitely think I have ulterior motives for approaching you.

Gu Yunzhen opened her mouth to refute, but Shangguan Wu covered her mouth with his hand.

"Let me finish speaking first."

Shangguan Wu's palms itched, wanting to let go, but she also wanted to take this opportunity to break his defenses, so she said very quickly, "I have always said that I like you, and I have always expressed it with my actions. I believe you have felt it."

Because I love you, you became my husband. That's the cause-and-effect relationship between us, not the other way around—it's not that I love you because you're my husband. The order can't be mixed up. After all, marrying you was something I worked hard for.

After she finished speaking, she mentally went over the relationships again, thankfully not confusing herself.

Gu Yunzhen did not speak.

Shangguan Wu didn't say anything, but quietly leaned against him.

Back in the bedroom, Gu Yunzhen stared intently at her: "You've been saying you like me all this time?"

Shangguan Wu sat up straight and nodded affirmatively: "That's right!"

Gu Yunzhen: "What if I had already said that?"

Shangguan Wu: "What did you say?"

Gu Yunzhen: "You don't like me or anything like that."

Shangguan Wu flatly denied it: "Impossible!"

Gu Yunzhen's eyes were calm and still as she slowly said, "If you become tainted, I will never like you again."

Forehead!

Shangguan Wu was completely bewildered.

That sounds so familiar!

She blinked and gave him a flattering smile: "Honey, your memory is just too good!"

Gu Yunzhen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Shangguan Wu: "..." This sounds familiar too!

"Here's a kiss for you."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen's burning kiss was already pressed against her lips.

Shangguan Wu's heart skipped a beat.

It happened very suddenly.

She stared blankly at him, when suddenly a large hand covered her eyes. After she could see nothing, her senses became even more acute.

The next second, the medicine packet in Shangguan Wu's hand fell to the ground, and she gripped his clothes tightly with both hands, feeling as if he was sucking all the air out of her lungs.

Gu Yunzhen's kiss seemed to carry a hint of punishment, lingering on her lips inch by inch...

At some point, Shangguan Wu's skin was exposed to the air.

She trembled.

Gu Yunzhen whispered close to her earlobe, "Are you cold?"

ah!

Shangguan Wu felt a tingling sensation wash over her, and she leaned softly against his chest, but she still insisted, "Go, go to bed."

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to look directly at her wheelchair!

Gu Yunzhen saw the spring water rippling in her eyes and knew she couldn't hold out for long. One hand roamed over her waist, and his low, husky voice carried a seductive undertone: "Didn't you want to test my ability to remain unmoved by a woman's embrace?"

Hasn't this already been tried?

Shangguan Wu pressed her head against his chest: "You lost!"

yes!

He lost!

She's like a poppy, irresistible and addictive.

Gu Yunzhen's eyes grew even deeper, and he spoke in a low, husky voice: "Let's go to the bathhouse."

Go to the bathhouse?

Shangguan Wu's beautiful eyes widened instantly as she recalled her first experience: "You lost, you have to listen to me."

Gu Yunzhen followed her words and said, "Yes, I will serve you."

After saying that, he untied her hair tie, and her wavy hair cascaded down. The slightly parted hairstyle added a touch of mature beauty to her. Her delicate features, especially her swollen red lips, made her look stunningly beautiful to the core, and exceptionally alluring.

Gu Yunzhen held a strand of curly hair in her hand, each strand seemingly possessing an alluring magic that tempted people to fall into its allure and become fascinated.

"Let's start with a bath."

Gu Yunzhen's voice was hoarse as she maneuvered her wheelchair toward the bathroom.

Shangguan Wu was dumbfounded, still stunned by his previous words: "You are going to serve me?"

Gu Yunzhen said in a serious tone, "I lost."

He lost, so he has to serve her?

Holy crap!

Is she dreaming?

Shangguan Wu was stunned, her mind went blank, as if she was dizzy from the kiss and had lost the ability to think.

Gu Yunzhen went to the edge of the bath and started filling it with water.

Hearing the sound of water, Shangguan Wu suddenly woke up and stared at him in disbelief.

Where did he learn this trick?

Thinking of that forum post, she said with a double entendre, "You're really something!"

Gu Yunzhen remained noncommittal: "I've always been very capable."

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched, and she said coquettishly, "Shameless."

After saying that, she got up and left.

But it was too late.

The bathtub was full of water, and Shangguan Wu was pushed into it with a splash.

As Shangguan Wu surfaced, Gu Yunzhen went into the water with another splash.

The splashing water landed on Shangguan Wu's face. She subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was being embraced by the man.

Gu Yunzhen put his arm around her slender waist and led her to the steps of the bath.

"I don't want to move."

Shangguan Wu spoke first, deliberately making things difficult for him: "Didn't you say you were going to serve me? Shouldn't you be the one doing the work?"
