Yan Yirou: "..."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there's a suspicion of surveillance, Gu Chenye is very capable in combat, and with him around, her safety is more guaranteed.

Gu Chenye glanced at the time and then asked her, "Are you full? If you are, I'll take you home."

Yan Yirou: "..."

She was not just full, she was stuffed.

That's really awkward.

Yan Yirou forced a smile and said, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

She picked up her phone and left the private room.

Gu Chenye raised an eyebrow.

Women who usually dine with him eat very little, but Yan Yirou is the only woman who eats and drinks heartily in front of him without caring about her image.

"Interesting!" Gu Chenye suddenly smiled.

By the time Yan Yirou returned, it was almost ten o'clock.

Yan Yirou pleaded, "I think it's about time. Could you please take me home, Third Young Master?"

"Let's go."

Gu Chenye picked up his black coat and started putting it on as he walked out.

Yan Yirou followed him out of the restaurant.

After sending Yan Yirou home, Gu Chenye returned to the Gu residence and saw his fourth brother and sister-in-law eating in the dining room. He turned a corner and walked into the dining room.

Gu Chenye casually pulled up a chair and sat down: "You two, are you eating separately?"

He sniffed the air and frowned: "Why does it smell like medicine?"

"The medicine smell comes from the Chinese herbal tonic soup he drank," Shangguan Wu said, pointing to Gu Yunzhen's bowl.

Recalling Gu Yunzhen's pale face when he returned, she took his pulse and learned that he had suffered a backlash from hypnosis. Although it was not serious, he was still quite frightened.

He's only been learning hypnosis for less than a month, yet he dares to hypnotize others?

Thinking of this, Shangguan Wu glared at the audacious scoundrel again.

Gu Yunzhen suddenly spoke up: "Third Brother, you've been busy all night, aren't you going to rest?"

Gu Chenye couldn't stand the sight of his younger brother who was chasing him away!

He glanced at his younger siblings, who were enjoying their meal, and then at himself. Was the fourth brother the type to be all talk and no action?

Seeing Gu Chenye's displeased expression, Shangguan Wu smiled and invited, "This is quail egg braised fish and garlic ribs that my husband brought. Would you like some, Third Brother?"

Gu Chenye was about to say he didn't want to eat when Gu Yunzhen said, "He ate two meals tonight and can't eat anymore."

You really don't want him to eat?

"I eat a lot and burn it off quickly, so I can easily eat another meal."

Gu Chenye said this, but didn't touch his chopsticks. He glanced at Gu Yunzhen and deliberately said, "But Fourth Brother only brought you two dishes. Isn't that a bit stingy?"

Shangguan Wu ate with relish, then shook his head and said, "Quail eggs are rich in nutrients and beneficial for fetal growth and development. Pregnant women can also eat them to beautify their skin and improve their complexion. Grass carp has tender flesh, a delicious taste, and high nutritional value. It also has the effects of protecting the liver, enhancing immunity, and delaying aging."

Garlic ribs, on the other hand, are cooked through on the outside and tender on the inside. With a gentle bite, the aroma of garlic fills your mouth, while the meat juices burst forth between your lips and teeth—they're incredibly delicious. Moreover, pork ribs can nourish the stomach and intestines, improve iron-deficiency anemia, and have the effect of invigorating qi.

Eating too much at night is not good. It's generally recommended that pregnant women eat smaller, more frequent meals; two dishes are enough!

Although Shangguan Wu's pregnancy has not been confirmed yet, everyone feels that it is almost certain.

Gu Chenye: "..."

“Studying traditional Chinese medicine really makes a difference. In my eyes, these are just two dishes, but in your eyes, they are like a magic pill.” He couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated."

Shangguan Wu was a little embarrassed, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Third Brother, did it go smoothly when you picked up Yan Yirou?"

Gu Chenye raised an eyebrow: "What problem could there be with me taking action?"

Shangguan Wu: "..." Is he really that boastful?

Gu Chenye coughed twice and recounted how he picked up Yan Yirou from the Yan family and took her to Panlong Restaurant for dinner, omitting the part about Gu Yunzhen's appearance. He then described the whole process of safely sending her back to the Yan family after the meal.

"Honestly, I've never seen a woman eat as much as she does."

Shangguan Wu blinked: "Third Brother, someone once did a related experiment, and the results showed that how much a woman eats in front of a man depends on how attractive that man is."

Gu Chenye asked her with great interest, "What do you mean?"

Shangguan Wu smiled slightly: "Women usually eat less and talk more in front of attractive men. If a woman doesn't treat the man as a man, she will eat and drink excessively. Obviously, there is no possibility of further development in this situation."

Gu Chenye: "???"

So he treated Yan Yirou to a big meal, but she didn't treat him like a man?

Gu Chenye suddenly got up and left.

Watching his hurried departure, Shangguan Wu couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Yunzhen glanced at the nearly empty plates on the table, then stared intently at her.

Shangguan Wu felt a burning gaze behind her, and slowly turned around to meet his deep, dark eyes. She pursed her lips and asked, "Wh-what's wrong?"

Gu Yunzhen glanced at the dining table again.

He was sitting right next to her, and she was eating with great relish. Does that mean he's lost his appeal to her?

Shangguan Wu followed his gaze to the nearly finished fish and ribs. Oh wow, did she eat all of this by herself?

She looked at him with an innocent expression: "Honey, the experiment I just mentioned was fake, you don't believe me, right?"

Gu Yunzhen hummed in agreement and reached out to rub her head: "Keep eating, I'll keep you company."

A hint of surprise flashed across Shangguan Wu's watery eyes. She looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, stood up, and said, "I'm full. Let's go back to our room."

Gu Yunzhen got up, then suddenly put one arm around her waist and the other under her legs, lifting her up in his arms and walking steadily toward the elevator.

Shangguan Wu subconsciously reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, gazing at him with watery eyes.

He's acting really strange tonight!

Back in the bedroom, Gu Yunzhen gently placed her on the large bed.

Shangguan Wu didn't let go of his hand; instead, she asked him impatiently, "Husband, you—"

But before she could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen silenced her with a kiss.

The man's hot breath hit her face, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Shangguan Wu was very familiar with his kisses. She didn't know what had happened to him. If he wanted to kiss her, she would cooperate by opening her mouth and letting him in to steal her air.

The temperature in the bedroom gradually rose, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread in the air. The young couple kissed and eventually rolled onto the bed.

After a while, Gu Yunzhen ended the kiss with an extremely abnormal willpower.

She might be pregnant!

The mere word "maybe" is enough to make him extremely cautious.

Gu Yunzhen buried his face in her neck, panting.

Shangguan Wu said softly, "Husband, you are the most charming man in my eyes!"

"I know."

Gu Yunzhen's voice was hoarse, but she spoke with great confidence.

He didn't ask her any questions about 'dreams', as long as she was by his side and never left him.
