After saying that, Qin Yichen looked at Gu Yunzhen provocatively.

Gu Yunzhen remained calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned.

But Qin Yichen clicked his tongue and ate with great pleasure.

After the meal, his good friend kicked him out of the tent, saying, "She's been worried sick these past few days and hasn't been sleeping well. She needs to rest early."

To ensure his younger cousin could sleep well, Qin Yichen had no choice but to leave.

Shangguan Wu felt that this was a bit too much.

But looking at the man's rather unpleasant expression, she thought of a saying: "Better to die for your friend than for yourself."

She is now a frail little white flower, needing care and protection.

As for her third cousin, there was nothing she could do to help him!

Gu Yunzhen had someone come in to clear the table and then instructed someone to prepare hot water.

Upon hearing the word "hot water," Shangguan Wu's mind conjured up some inappropriate images. When Gu Yunzhen looked over, she quickly shook her head and pursed her lips, saying, "I don't want to take a bath here!"

She held the down jacket in her arms.

Gu Yunzhen was slightly taken aback.

After a long pause, he chuckled softly, "Of course, the bathing scene that Madam is so looking forward to won't be in such a shabby place."

puff--

Shangguan Wu had no doubt that if he drank water, he would definitely spit it out!

"What bathing scene? I don't know what you're talking about!"

Shangguan Wu looked up and down, left and right, but never looked at Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow.

His deep eyes were fixed on her as he strode toward her, saying, "My lady is so smart, how could she not understand what I mean? But don't worry, even if I were to lose my humanity, I would still consider whether your body can handle it."

Shangguan Wu: "???"

Shangguan Wu: "!!!"

Help!

How could he utter such extremely shameful and lewd words?!

Was he doing it on purpose?!

Shangguan Wu reached out, placing a finger against his body to stop him from going any further: "Don't come any closer!"

Gu Yunzhen really stopped.

Seeing her ever-changing expression, a smile crept across his face, and he asked with a hint of mockery, "Is Madam afraid?"

Meeting the man's deep, smiling eyes, Shangguan Wu instantly felt a surge of competitive spirit and raised her chin: "Who's afraid!"

Gu Yunzhen's thin lips uttered a single word: "You."

Shangguan Wu choked for a moment.

Gu Yunzhen held her hand and gently kneaded it, his voice deep and magnetic: "Your body hasn't recovered yet, I won't touch you."

Shangguan Wu subconsciously retorted: "Who doesn't have a body..."

But halfway through her sentence, she realized something and choked up.

Gu Yunzhen laughed: "Why did you stop, hmm?"

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What's so funny!"

Shangguan Wu retorted angrily, "When I used to make you laugh, you never laughed once. Now that I'm not asking you to laugh, you laugh from morning till night. Tell me, are you deliberately trying to go against me?"

Seeing her flushed face, whether from anger or embarrassment, Gu Yunzhen's expression was inscrutable. He apologized to her, "It's my fault. I was blind before and hurt you. I'm sorry."

Hearing him say that, Shangguan Wu felt uneasy.

In the beginning, she forced him to marry her.

It's normal that he doesn't like her.

He didn't do anything to hurt her; he just didn't reciprocate her feelings. But who says that loving someone always guarantees a response?

Otherwise, the beauty of mutual affection and reciprocated love would not be fully appreciated.

Shangguan Wu looked up at him and said very seriously, "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."

In an instant, Gu Yunzhen's dark eyes became deep and unfathomable. Her words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in the blink of an eye.

She could actually take this opportunity to make demands of him.

But she didn't.

On the contrary, I don't think he did anything wrong.

How can she be so good?

He's so fond of her that he just wants to bully her now.

I saw her lying beneath me.

A low moan.

Or they would cry and beg for mercy.

Gu Yunzhen's gaze deepened as he stared at her. When Shangguan Wu met his eyes, she could clearly feel the burning heat in them, as if he wanted to devour her. His aggressive gaze made her unsure if she could withstand it, so she blushed and looked away.

Gu Yunzhen snapped out of his daze, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He restrained himself and reached out to ruffle her curly hair, his voice low and sexy: "I'll carry you to wash up, and then you can get some rest."

Shangguan Wu was slightly dazed.

She had clearly seen desire in his eyes just now, but it vanished in an instant. She was slightly taken aback: "Are you going out?"

Gu Yunzhen nodded: "Mm."

He didn't continue, clearly not wanting to tell her, so Shangguan Wu didn't ask any further.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and let him carry her to the hot water to brush her teeth, wash her face, wash her bottom, and wash her feet.

When Qin Yichen rushed into the large tent, Gu Yunzhen was washing Shangguan Wu's feet.

He stood there, stunned.

Is Gu Si washing his little cousin's feet?

Qin Yichen wondered if he had discovered Gu Si's little secret and would be silenced.

Gu Yunzhen merely glanced at him indifferently: "What is it?"

His hands did not stop moving.

Instead, Shangguan Wu tried to pull her foot back, but Gu Yunzhen noticed her intention, tightened her grip slightly, and looked up to warn, "Don't move."

Shangguan Wu obediently replied with an "oh".

Qin Yichen snapped out of his daze and sat down next to Shangguan Wu: "Little cousin, this is the first time I've seen Gu Si wash someone's feet. Even his parents don't get this treatment. What if his mother finds out? Will she have a bad impression of you?"
