At this point, Gu Yunzhen had already learned from Du Wei that Shangguan Wu had participated in a six-hour surgery that afternoon!

She did the right thing by saving him.

All he could do was let her rest well and replenish her nutrition.

When Shangguan Wu saw him come out, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, but the next second, her smile disappeared: "Have you been working the whole time?"

Although it was a question, her tone was very confident.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's eyes as he calmly led her by the hand toward the elevator: "It's work I accumulated after going abroad."

Once inside the elevator, Shangguan Wu grabbed his collar and said fiercely, "Your body is mine. I won't allow you to work all night anymore. If you don't listen..."

Gu Yunzhen hadn't seen her look so 'fierce yet beautiful' in a long time. A wicked smile curved his thin lips: "How does Madam intend to deal with me?"

His deep voice deliberately emphasized the word "clean up," especially the slight upward inflection at the end, which carried a hint of teasing, ambiguity, and tenderness.

We've been married for so long, who wouldn't instantly understand?

Shangguan Wu blushed and his heart raced as he flirted with him. Shouldn't he refute him?

Gu Yunzhen keenly observed her gaze and chuckled softly, "We are husband and wife, so my body is naturally yours."

Shangguan Wumeng: According to his logic, then her body is his too?

Gu Yunzhen took her hand and kissed it: "That's right, so when you're doing something, think of me first."

"Okay!" Shangguan Wu said happily.

Upon entering the dining room, Gu Yunzhen brought out the dishes that the chef had prepared and kept warm, all of which were Shangguan Wu's favorites.

Shangguan Wu enjoyed the delicious food, and then Gu Yunzhen heated up a glass of milk for her.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Shangguan Wu sat in his chair, unwilling to move.

Finally, Gu Yunzhen carried her back to the bedroom in a princess carry.

But Shangguan Wu was not sleepy. Thinking of Old Zou's health, she took out paper and pen and wrote down his treatment plan.

The treatment was divided into three phases, and she wrote down all the medicinal materials used.

Gu Yunzhen took a shower and approached her while drying her hair: "What are you writing?"

Shangguan Wu looked up at him, then continued writing down the Chinese medicinal herbs as she replied, "Given Mr. Zou's age and physical condition, the best course of action is to gradually regulate his health with Chinese medicine."

Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"I once heard Master You say that traditional Chinese medicine is not as fast-acting as Western medicine, but it can treat both the symptoms and the root cause. If his condition can be completely cured, he should be able to live another ten years, right?"

"If you take good care of yourself, it is possible."

Shangguan Wu told him.

Soon, after she finished writing and put away her notebook, she corrected him, saying, "Actually, what Elder You said is not entirely correct. There are also Chinese medicines that are particularly effective. The strong medicines that the ancients often talked about were some kind of fierce and dangerous medicines. However, they are extremely harmful to the body and usually do not live long, so they are rarely used."

However, my master has also used strong medicine to treat patients, and then used other medicines to restore their weakened bodies.

After her master passed away, Shangguan Wu also had a similar experience of healing and saving lives.

With precise control of dosage, even the most potent and dangerous drugs can save lives in critical moments.

Gu Yunzhen dried her hair and lay down on the bed, her thin lips parting slightly: "Is it the miracle doctor who raised you?"

"Um."

Shangguan Wu nestled in his arms.

Gu Yunzhen patted his back reassuringly, and after a while, he spoke in a low voice: "Did you go to the military region to see General Mi today?"

Shangguan Wu nodded again: "Yan Yirou told me that Fu Lin is the head of the Divine Envoy Organization."

These words caused Gu Yunzhen's eyes to suddenly turn cold and sharp.

"lady."

Gu Yunzhen's voice was deep, and he tightened his grip on her arms: "Leave the matter of the Divine Envoy Organization to me. If I find you risking your life again... I will lock you up!"

"But you don't know..."

Before Shangguan Wu could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen interrupted her in a deep voice: "I can ask Yan Yirou!"

Hearing his tone, Shangguan Wu knew he intended to interrogate Yan Yirou, so she immediately pleaded, "Honey, Yan Yirou is my friend. She means us no harm. Please don't hurt her, okay?"

Gu Yunzhen's eyes were deep and dark, like unyielding ink, exuding a chilling danger: "If she falls into the hands of Fu Lin or Ji Xianli, she will become a weapon against us!"

Shangguan Wu tried her best to persuade her: "Du Jian has already gone to Changteng City to find her a bodyguard. She doesn't want to marry Ji Xianli, and she knows that Fu Lin is not a good person. There is no future for her if she follows them, so she won't betray us!"

Gu Yunzhen sensed her determination, his deep voice revealing neither joy nor anger: "You must protect her?"

Shangguan Wu pursed her lips and said, "She's rare. And she has a very straightforward personality, and we get along well. Since returning home, I haven't made any friends. Strictly speaking, she's my first friend since I came back."

Instantly, Gu Yunzhen's heart softened.

He kissed her forehead: "Okay, I promise you."

"Pop~"

Shangguan Wu happily leaned in and kissed him.

Gu Yunzhen felt a strange pang of jealousy.

Did she kiss him for someone else's sake?

Gu Yunzhen added, "I can refrain from hurting her, but if she conceals the truth, that's a different story."

Shangguan Wu was slightly taken aback.

Thinking of Yan Yirou's trust in her, she also believed that Yan Yirou would not deceive him. After all, Yan Yirou should understand his personality from reading books, and going against him head-on would only bring trouble upon herself.

But Shangguan Wu felt a little jealous when she thought that someone might know her husband better than she did.

She immediately wrapped one arm around the man's waist and put one leg on his long leg, clinging to him like a koala.

This is her husband, her man!

However, Gu Yunzhen was overwhelmed by her passionate posture and suddenly found herself in a state of intense torment.

After all, he hadn't been intimate with her for two days.

She inexplicably unleashed a powerful attack; no wonder he couldn't withstand it.

Gu Yunzhen, mindful of her pregnancy, could only hold back until she heard her even breathing and knew she was fast asleep. Only then did she gently pull her hands and feet away, get out of bed, and leave the bedroom.

Not wanting the sound of the shower to wake her, he went to the bathroom in the guest room to take a shower.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the window.

Shangguan Wu slowly opened her eyes. Gu Yunzhen wasn't beside her. She reached out and touched the blankets; they were still warm, indicating that he had just gotten up.

She lingered in bed for half an hour when Gu Yunzhen, dressed in sportswear, pushed open the door and entered.

Upon seeing him, Shangguan Wu blinked in surprise: "Honey, you went for a morning run?"

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "If I, a weakling, don't train, how will I be able to protect you?"

Well!

Shangguan Wu recalled that the word "weakling" was used by Mi Yanghua to describe him, saying that he was physically weak and probably couldn't even beat the ordinary soldiers under his command.

That's obviously an exaggeration. Even when Gu Yunzhen was disabled in both legs, she didn't forget to exercise.

Her eyes darted around, and she smiled, "Then I'll protect my husband!"
