In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
The next second, Yan Yirou gritted her teeth: "That's too much, Wu Bao. I'm a coward and don't want to be sent to the research institute for dissection by your husband."
Shangguan Wu chuckled, put his arm around her shoulder, and said teasingly, "You can rest assured, you're our third sister-in-law. My husband would never target you, no matter who he's dealing with!"
Third sister-in-law?
Yan Yirou's face flashed into her mind, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
Her face was as red and vibrant as the sunset clouds at dusk.
"Pah, who is your third sister-in-law? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want, you know?" Yan Yirou's face turned redder and redder as she spoke, revealing a shyness that she herself did not realize.
After admiring the beauty for a while, Shangguan Wu solemnly corrected her, "You're wrong. You can't just eat anything, or you'll get poisoned."
"Pfft~" Yan Yirou couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore." She clearly wanted to skip the topic.
Shangguan Wu's eyes darted around, and she took out her phone, opened the camera, and said, "Let's take a group photo! How can best friends not have a group photo, right?"
"Take a picture and send me a copy."
Yan Yirou also wanted to take a photo together, so she readily obliged.
Shangguan Wu not only took intimate photos of her and Yan Yirou, but also photos of Yan Yirou blushing, and sent them to her together.
"You can send your single photo to Third Brother. I guarantee he'll be thinking about you constantly and won't be able to forget you!"
Suddenly, Yan Yirou's eyes widened: "You big dummy, still thinking about me!"
Before Shangguan Wu could speak, Yan Yirou added, "I can't call you Wu Bao anymore, I should call you Little Yellow Wu!"
Shangguan Wu blinked twice, looking completely innocent: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"I didn't believe your nonsense!"
Yan Yirou rolled her eyes at her without any regard for her image, reached out and pinched her cheek, saying, "Married women are just different, driving so effortlessly. I should make you a cup of cleansing tea!"
Shangguan Wu retorted, "You can't say that. If you weren't so quick to understand girls, how would you have known I was being suggestive?"
Yan Yirou looked incredulous: "So it's still my fault?"
No, you are not wrong.
Shangguan Wu shook his head, spouting nonsense with a straight face: "I'm not wrong either. What's wrong is that our Chinese character culture is profound and wonderful beyond words~"
Yan Yirou's lips twitched: "Go ahead and try to fool me, I'm not falling for it!"
"You've got a smart move!" Shangguan Wu leaned closer to her face and suddenly got down to business: "Why did you suddenly want to buy a car?"
Yan Yirou was slightly taken aback by the sudden shift in topic.
"I was forced into it by my second uncle."
The idea of keeping family scandals private doesn't apply to Yan Yirou. She said coldly, "He's just putting on airs at home because Yan Yixuan is about to marry Ji Xianli. He has to meddle in everything."
The four bodyguards you introduced me to looked really capable. He wanted all four of them and even spoke with Liu Kui about it. If Liu Kui hadn't told me, I would have been completely kept in the dark!
Yan Yirou was furious just thinking about it. If it weren't for Liu Kui's good character, she wouldn't even know how she died!
"After he realized his attempt to poach her failed, he asked how the family cars should be allocated. He said that someone like me, who travels alone with four bodyguards, needs two cars, which is unacceptable!"
Yan Yirou usually only drives one car and has two bodyguards when she goes out, but after what happened yesterday, she naturally had to bring four bodyguards with her.
As a result, she was stopped at the garage entrance by her second uncle.
Yan Yirou was almost furious!
"Then let's buy a car."
Shangguan Wu felt that problems that could be solved with money weren't really problems, and asked with concern, "Do you have enough money?"
"I don't have much money, but I can still afford to buy a car. Anyway, I don't need any luxury cars." Yan Yirou spent most of her money on hiring those four bodyguards. If she doesn't earn money this year, she won't be able to afford bodyguards next year.
Shangguan Wu reassured her, "We'll go look at the car after we have lunch."
"My dear Wubao, you're the only one who's ever been the best to me!"
Yan Yirou wrapped her arms around her, rested her head on her left shoulder, and her eyes were slightly moist.
She approached Shangguan Wu with the intention of currying favor with him, hoping to survive well in this unfamiliar world.
But through repeated encounters, it was discovered that Shangguan Wu was essentially a very gentle person; her coldness and sharp edge were directed at her enemies.
Even though Shangguan Wu had ulterior motives towards her, he never harmed her and helped her in every way after they became friends.
Yan Yirou was very happy to meet Shangguan Wu in this unfamiliar world.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know if she could have persevered.
Shangguan Wu could understand her feelings, but didn't want her to be consumed by sadness.
She comforted him, "Don't worry, once you marry Third Brother, he'll treat you even better!"
Yan Yirou's lips twitched, and she immediately let go of her, saying, "You're talking nonsense again. I'm ignoring you!"
She blushed, got up, and walked out from behind the counter.
Shangguan Wu looked at her flushed face and smiled without saying a word.
Without a doubt, Rou Rou will be her future third sister-in-law!
In the blink of an eye, time slipped away.
As Shangguan Wu and Yan Yirou were about to go out for dinner, a middle-aged woman arrived. She was pale and bloodless, as if she might faint at any moment.
When Shangguan Wu saw her expression, his heart skipped a beat.
She grabbed Yan Yirou's arm: "Let's wait a bit before we go."
Yan Yirou followed her gaze and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"
Shangguan Wu stood aside watching the traditional Chinese medicine doctor examine the middle-aged woman using the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.
Yan Yirou stood with her.
After diagnosing the patient, the old Chinese medicine doctor wrote down a prescription, but instead of immediately dispensing the medicine, he turned to Shangguan Wu and said, "Young doctor, do you think my prescription is feasible?"
Upon hearing the words "Little Miracle Doctor," the middle-aged woman's eyes lit up as she looked at Shangguan Wu, like a drowning person seeing a piece of driftwood.
Shangguan Wu modified two of the ingredients and increased the dosage of one more: "All done."
The old Chinese medicine doctor gave the prescription to his assistant and asked him to get the medicine.
Shangguan Wu looked at the middle-aged woman and suddenly said, "You probably can't brew the medicine yourself, so you can come to the Chinese medicine pharmacy every day to drink the medicine and take it home."
The middle-aged woman was taken aback at first, then said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you. But is it inconvenient for you?"
Shangguan Wu said gently, "As long as they are our patients, our Chinese medicine pharmacy will provide decoction services."
The middle-aged woman didn't know what to say, so she could only keep saying thank you.
Shangguan Wu shook his head, sighed inwardly, and asked, "Shall I take you inside for a check-up?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned, her body stiffening.
Shangguan Wu's tone remained unchanged: "Don't worry, I'm a doctor, I respect every patient's privacy, and I won't tell anyone about your situation."
The middle-aged woman then got up, but she got up too quickly and her body swayed and lurched forward.
Yan Yirou quickly reached out to support her, but then heard the middle-aged woman let out a long hiss.
