Soon, Kang Jie sent over the electronic version of the script.

Shangguan Wu was immersed in the script.

It wasn't until her phone screen went black, reflecting her own doting smile, that she realized she'd been so engrossed in watching that it was already 2 a.m.

"husband?"

Shangguan Wu turned his head to look for someone and saw Gu Yunzhen lying on the sofa, his long legs propped up on the chair as if he had nowhere to go. He seemed to be asleep, but if he slept like that all night, he would definitely feel uncomfortable when he woke up tomorrow morning.

"Honey, come and sleep in the bed."

The beds in the VIP wards are two-meter-wide king-size beds. Although they are not as big as the beds at home, they are big enough for them to lie down without any physical contact.

The man on the sofa remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

"husband?"

Shangguan Wu frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Gu Yunzhen, I know you can hear me. I didn't do anything to you at home, and now that I've injured my back, I can't do anything to you either. What are you afraid of?"

Suddenly, Gu Yunzhen opened her dark eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

"Moreover, you will have your second acupuncture session tomorrow. If there are any abnormalities in your body, it will have to be postponed by one day. In that case, the interval between the first and second acupuncture sessions will be longer, and I cannot guarantee what problems might arise."

Shangguan Wu deliberately made his words sound alarmist.

Gu Yunzhen sat up with a cold face, his sharp gaze piercing her like a sword: "You really want to sleep with me that much?"

Shangguan Wu was stunned.

"Believe it or not, I just want you to sleep more comfortably."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

She didn't fall into a deep sleep until Gu Yunzhen lay down on the bed.

After falling asleep, Shangguan Wu had a dream.

In her dream, she became the daughter of a great general, a mad and beautiful woman. Gu Yunzhen was a hostage from an enemy country. She led 100,000 troops to help him return to his country and ascend the throne. However, she was met with a cup of poisoned wine. She faked her death and returned, destroying his country, breaking his legs, and then rescuing him. She took him to live in seclusion in a deep mountain valley, where they did unspeakable things every day...

When Shangguan Wu woke up the next morning, he felt dizzy and weak all over.

As she recalled certain scenes from her dream, her face gradually flushed.

Is this a side effect of reading the script?

Shangguan Wu rubbed his temples, and after regaining his senses, he realized that Gu Yunzhen was not in the ward.

"Du Wei!"

She shouted, but startled herself; why was her voice so hoarse?

The next second, Du Wei pushed the door open and entered.

"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Quickly, pour me a glass of water."

After drinking a full glass of water, Shangguan Wu said, "My phone is dead. Could you go get me a power bank?"

"Yes, Miss."

"Wait!" Shangguan Wu called out to him, "Do you know where my husband went?"

Du Wei replied, "Fourth Young Master returned to the garden at 3:30 a.m.

Shangguan Wu was stunned for a moment.

"He went back?"

"Yes."

"Did they say when they'd be coming?"

"No."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wu buried her face in the pillow, raised her right hand slightly, and shook it, signaling him to leave.

Around eight o'clock, Gu Yunzhen arrived at the hospital.

For some reason, she always felt that his gaze was cold.

It was as if she were some kind of virus.

She was certain that he wouldn't have shown up if her parents hadn't come to the hospital!

Shangguan Wu looked puzzled. Could it be that he had offended him by forcing him to sleep in the bed last night?

But as she ate the hearty breakfast, she said sweetly, "Honey, thank you for bringing me breakfast!"

Gu Yunzhen didn't even glance at her.

As Shangguan Wu ate, she looked at his face and suddenly exclaimed, "Honey, your dark circles are a bit heavy. Why don't you come and take a nap?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhen's handsome and fair face suddenly darkened, and the pressure around him became frighteningly low.

"Are you that desperate for a man?"

His voice was cold as ice, full of sarcasm.

"What?" Shangguan Wu stared at him, completely bewildered.

Seeing her innocent expression, Gu Yunzhen figured she would deny it even if he accused her of shameless moaning in the middle of the night, so he coldly asked, "When will you have acupuncture?"

Shangguan Wu paused for a moment, then said, "Let's wait until my parents have seen me."

Otherwise, the more they feel sorry for her, the more they will hate Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yunzhen had no objection. Sitting in her wheelchair with her back to her, she opened her laptop to work.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wu narrowed her eyes. This man was like a stubborn rock; without some serious force, she couldn't provoke him at all!

Her father and older sister arrived right after she finished breakfast.

Shangguan Xue knelt down beside the hospital bed and touched Shangguan Wu's hair. "Little sister, are you feeling any better today?"

Shangguan Wu wanted to say she was feeling much better, but then changed her mind: "If my older sister could come and keep me company every day, I'd get better a little faster~"

Shangguan Xue smiled and tapped her pretty nose: "Okay, I'll come over to keep you company every day."

"I knew my eldest sister was the best!"

As soon as Shangguan Wu finished speaking, Shangguan Lin, who was standing next to him, retorted, "You used to say that Dad was the best, have you changed your mind so quickly?"

Shangguan Wu blinked: "It's been so long, we definitely need to move around a bit. You're in the best spot right now!"

Shangguan Lin looked completely bewildered, but after hearing the explanation, he couldn't stop laughing.

He was really happy!

What do those people outside who laugh at him for having three daughters know?

Listen to what the little girl said. Would a son be so considerate?

"Hehehe, Dad comes to see you every day too."

"Dad, Mom didn't come today. Is she not feeling well? You should stay home and keep her company. Don't let those monsters and scoundrels get close to her," Shangguan Wu reminded him.
