Shangguan Wu turned her head and smiled gently: "Mom, you said that we family members don't need to say thank you."

Ji Moyan was taken aback at first, then said in a serious tone, "It's nothing, but this concerns the education of the next generation. Just saying thank you would be a loss for me. Tomorrow, my old friends and I will go shopping and buy you a gift."

"Thank you, Grandma~" Shangguan Wu happily hugged her.

Ji Moyan immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling into squinty corners.

She liked Wu Bao's straightforward personality, unlike the eldest daughter's... ex!

When she first said she wanted to give Jiang Yu a gift, she hesitated and said no, but then she picked and chose an ugly one. In the end, she told people that she only accepted the gift because Jiang Yu was her mother-in-law, otherwise she would have found it too ugly to even look at.

For some reason, Ji Moyan thought of Jiang Yu, but the thought only brought her a bellyful of troubles, so she quickly shook her head.

As they approached the pharmacy, Shangguan Wu stopped and noticed her mother-in-law's complexion. She asked with concern, "Mom, you don't look well. What's wrong?"

"I'm fine."

Ji Moyan shook her head and suddenly asked, "By the way, what kind of experiment did you do?"

Shangguan Wu didn't hide anything from her mother-in-law: "Today a hypnotist was poisoned, so I took his blood to extract the toxins, to see what kind of poison it was, and then made an antidote. If we encounter this kind of poison again in the future, we can take the antidote directly."

Ji Mo Yan was shocked: "Poison? Is it dangerous?"

"It's alright, Mom. Have you forgotten that I'm a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner?" Shangguan Wu said with a reassuring smile.

"Then you need to be careful." Unable to help, Ji Moyan could only remind her, "I won't bother you anymore, but I'll have someone come over at nine to call you back to your room to sleep!"

Shangguan Wu hugged her again, his soft voice carrying a hint of coquetry: "Mom is so good to me, love you, mwah~"

Ji Moyan smiled broadly and gently patted her back: "Mom loves you too, go ahead and get busy."

"OK."

Shangguan Wu released her and turned to walk into the pharmacy.

Ji Moyan stood at the door for a while. When she left, she took out her phone and sent a voice message to her youngest son: "Son, just now Wu Bao hugged me and said he loved me, and even gave me a kiss!"

Upon hearing the voice message, Gu Yunzhen on the other end of the phone frowned almost imperceptibly.

His wife has said "muah" to him countless times, and even one of them is something she's proud of.

"Brother Heng, I'm going out for a bit."

Gu Yunzhen looked at Qin Yiheng, said something, and got up to leave the room.

In the corridor, Gu Yunzhen called Shangguan Wu.

When the call connected, he looked around and saw that the corridor was empty.

Gu Yunzhen's gaze sharpened slightly, his lips almost touching the phone screen, and his deep, magnetic voice slowly uttered, "Wife~"

Hearing her husband's captivating voice, Shangguan Wu gasped!

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Yunzhen leaned against the wall, one hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone, saying, "I just miss you and want to hear your voice."

The man's deep, husky voice had a captivating charm, each word carrying a sweet quality, like sitting in a hammock on a cold winter's day, sipping a warm milk tea.

This is terrible!

Why are you trying to seduce her now?

Shangguan Wu looked down at the experiment in front of her. She was just one step away from success, but her husband on the phone was acting strangely. What should she do?

Oh dear, to hell with experiments!

Shangguan Wu, captivated by his beauty, disregarded everything else and said affectionately, "Honey, I miss you so much too, mwah~"

Hearing what she wanted to hear, Gu Yunzhen's brows lit up with a gentle smile, and she coughed twice: "Yes, it's late, you should go to sleep early, goodnight!"

Well!

Shangguan Wu was a little confused.

Is that all?

Receiving no response, Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow and called out, "Wife?"

Shangguan Wu said blankly, "Oh, goodnight."

The call has ended.

She stared at her phone screen for a full minute, wondering if he was jealous again, which was why he ended the call after she said "muah" and showed off?

Shangguan Wu guessed half right; Gu Yunzhen was indeed jealous!

But he wasn't trying to show off his relationship; he just wanted to hear her sweet kisses!

Shangguan Wu originally wanted to become a foolish ruler who neglected court affairs due to his infatuation with beautiful women, but the scoundrel didn't give her the chance.

Sigh!

Men will only hinder her progress in developing the antidote!

At exactly nine o'clock.

The maid came and asked her to go back to her room to rest.

Knowing that her mother-in-law would come personally if she didn't go out, Shangguan Wu began to tidy up the dishes.

Ten minutes later, Shangguan Wu returned to the bedroom.

Just as she was about to take a shower, there was a knock on the door, and she went to open it.

The maid stood outside the door, holding a tray in both hands: "Fourth Young Madam, this is a fruit salad and milk that Madam prepared for you."

Shangguan Wu stepped aside to let her in: "Please put it on the coffee table."

The maid, without looking to the side, placed the tray on the coffee table: "Fourth Young Madam, please feel free to give me any instructions."

"I'm fine, you go to sleep." Shangguan Wu shook her head.

"Yes, Fourth Young Madam."

The maid left the bedroom.

Shangguan Wu sat on the coffee table eating a small fruit salad, which she finished in no time.

As soon as she stepped into the bathroom, her phone rang.

Shangguan Wu picked up her phone and saw that it was her husband calling. She swiped her finger to the right to answer.

"Honey, remember to drink your milk before you go to sleep."

"Yes, I'll drink it after I take a shower."

"Haven't showered yet?"

"No, I just finished eating the fruit salad Mom prepared for me and went into the bathroom when you called."
