She pushed the insulated box to the desk and took out two bowls of crayfish, one spicy and one garlicky.

"Clang clang clang clang~"

Shangguan Wu twirled the crayfish around and placed it on the desk, a smile playing on her lips: "Shangguan-brand crayfish are so delicious, honey, you should try some!"

She peeled a shrimp while wearing gloves and handed it to him.

The enticing aroma made Gu Yunzhen unable to concentrate on reading a single word.

His gaze was fixed on Shangguan Wu's hand. After a two-second pause, he said calmly, "Take it away."

Shangguan Wu leaned closer, her bright, watery eyes gazing at him: "It really tastes delicious, I'm not kidding, you little puppy~"

Gu Yunzhen frowned and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to do this, it's useless."

What's the meaning?

Does he mean that no matter how hard she tries, he won't be interested in her?

After a moment of stunned silence, Shangguan Wu's eyes stung terribly. She asked, "Is it not even okay to share food with friends?"

Seeing her face on the verge of tears, Gu Yunzhen had a terrible headache.

She seemed not to understand what rejection meant.

But those eyes seemed to speak volumes; just looking at you like that could make you think you were the one bullying her.

"Put your things down and get out."

Gu Yunzhen's voice was cold and aloof, conveying a sense of detachment that kept people at arm's length.

"……oh."

Shangguan Wu bit her lip, put the shrimp meat back in the bowl, and turned away listlessly, as if all her energy had been drained away.

Back in the bedroom, she had just sat on the edge of the bed when tears began to fall like pearls from a broken string, landing on her silk dress.

It was only the third day, and she cried because she couldn't stand his cold treatment. In her previous life, when she was so indifferent to him and hurt him with her words time and time again, how much grievance must he have felt in his heart?

Shangguan Wu felt increasingly guilty and cried uncontrollably.

When it was time for dinner, her eyes were red and swollen, and anyone who saw them would misunderstand, so she didn't go downstairs to eat. Instead, she took an apple and ate it in the living room upstairs.

She won't give up!

Before the apple was finished, Uncle Zhang brought up a bowl of red date and lotus seed porridge.

Shangguan Wu thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."

"Fourth Young Madam, you are already very thin, you don't need to lose weight."

"I simply have no appetite, I'm not trying to lose weight," she explained.

"Oh, the crayfish that the Fourth Young Mistress brought back tasted very good. It's just a pity that the Fourth Young Master can't eat spicy food, so in the end, they all benefited us servants," Uncle Zhang said nosy.

He knew something was wrong when he saw the crayfish. The Fourth Young Master didn't eat spicy food, so he must have refused the Fourth Young Master's wife. Sure enough, the Fourth Young Master's wife didn't come downstairs to eat.

Everyone could see that the fourth young mistress liked the fourth young master, but the fourth young master married her out of a sense of responsibility. In order to improve the relationship between the young couple, he came up to explain the misunderstanding.

Shangguan Wu asked incredulously, "He can't eat spicy food?"

Didn't Gu Yunzhen often eat hot pot and barbecue with her in her past life?

Uncle Zhang nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Fourth Young Master never eats spicy food."

"..."

Shangguan Wu's tears were about to fall again.

Gu Yunzhen, a prodigy, was someone whose preferences and habits were always changed for him, but he accompanied her to eat extremely spicy food so many times.

How can he be so good!

"I understand, thank you for telling me, Uncle Zhang." She remembered this kindness and planned to give him a big gift another day.

After closing the door, Shangguan Wu cried and laughed like a little fool.

downstairs.

Gu Shiyi hurriedly entered the villa and went straight to Gu Yunzhen, who was having a leisurely meal in the dining room.

"Fourth Young Master, someone wants to hire someone to kill the Young Madam."

Only Gu Yunzhen and Uncle Zhang were in the dining room. Gu Shiyi did not lower her voice, and Uncle Zhang heard her.

Gu Yunzhen's handsome face remained calm, as if the person who was about to kill him was not his wife.

Instead, Uncle Zhang asked with a tense expression, "Who dares to try to kill the Fourth Young Mistress?"

"It was Chu Caijun. I don't know how he found our people. He doesn't understand the rules either. He just gave us money and said he wanted to kill the Fourth Young Mistress."

Gu Shiyi complained speechlessly.

Uncle Zhang then asked, "Who is Chu Caijun?"

Gu Shiyi said, "He is Chu Mingshu's younger brother. Chu Mingshu is the fourth young mistress's aunt."

Uncle Zhang said worriedly, "Can we arrest this person? The Fourth Young Mistress will be heartbroken when she finds out. Her eyes are already swollen from crying. She can't cry anymore."

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Crying?"

Will that woman, Shangguan Wu, still cry?

Uncle Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, her eyes were very red. She probably didn't want anyone to see, so she was embarrassed to go downstairs to eat."

Gu Yunzhen immediately scoffed.

If Shangguan Wu understood the meaning of "sorry," he wouldn't be living in Gu Garden now!

She was the most shameless woman he had ever met!

Excuse me? Heh.

At this moment, Gu Shiyi looked at Gu Yunzhen and said, "Fourth Young Master, please rest assured, I have obtained evidence of Chu Caijun's hiring of a hitman and handed it over to the police station. He will definitely not escape the charge of attempted murder!"

The reason Gu Shiyi returned so late was that she went to the police station in person, just in case things got complicated and the Fourth Young Master was uneasy.

After hearing this, Uncle Zhang felt relieved.

Gu Yunzhen: ...

A glint of light flashed in his deep eyes. What did Shangguan Wu do when she went back today that made people unable to tolerate her even for a day?

"Remember to clean the tail."

Gu Yunzhen spoke of it casually.

Anyway, he's done everything he should and shouldn't have done!

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Gu Shiyi accepted the order and left.
