After listening to her detailed explanation, Chen Xintong seemed to be deep in thought.

"Oh, I see. I'll go back and investigate where the rumors came from."

"Thank you, Sister Xintong."

Shangguan Wu will also send people to investigate; she doesn't need this false good reputation.

Because the day the truth is revealed, there will be a backlash.

Those who usually praise you will criticize you more fiercely and relentlessly.

After all, you lied to them.

The lunch was a great success, and the guests enjoyed themselves immensely until 1 p.m. when the table was a mess of dishes and cups before they finally left.

Before leaving, Shangguan Wu took Chen Xintong's pulse.

“Sister Xintong does have a bit of internal heat. I’ll call Rourou and ask her to prepare some medicine packets to clear the heat for you. You can just send someone to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to pick them up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yiqian said, "I'll go."

"No need..." Chen Xintong's words of refusal were interrupted by Qin Yiqian: "Don't make me worry."

Chen Xintong was stunned: "..."

Shangguan Wu was truly numb.

Was I too harsh on her today? This morning I was subjected to the public displays of affection from her parents, and now I'm being subjected to the public displays of affection from her second cousin and his wife...

She should go to the military region sooner rather than later.

Shangguan Wu returned to the Gu residence, packed two suitcases, and saw his elder brother coming out of the dining room as he went out.

"Brother, are you only eating now?"

Gu Yilou hummed in agreement, glancing at the suitcase behind her: "Are you going to find your fourth brother?"

Shangguan Wu replied, "Yes, I plan to give him a surprise."

Gu Yilou helped her pull the two suitcases out of the villa, handed them to Du Wei at the bottom of the steps, and turned to gently remind her, "Be careful on the road."

"I will, goodbye, brother." Shangguan Wu waved and got into the car to leave.

Gu Yilou watched the car drive away, then turned and walked back to the villa, heading straight to his study.

Although he didn't go to Gu's today, his assistant had already sent the documents that needed to be processed to his email.

Sitting at his desk, Gu Yilou recalled his conversation with Qin Yiheng that morning and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"Brother Lou, if you don't know my size, you can ask me. It would be a shame to buy a bunch that I can't wear."

“You and Lao Si are similar in build and the same size, so you should be able to fit into it.”

"...Did you buy it according to Gu Si's size?"

"You really can't wear it?"

"It's too tight, it's uncomfortable to wear."

If Qin Yiheng had said it was too loose, Gu Yilou wouldn't have suspected anything. But when Qin Yiheng said it was too tight, his eyelids twitched violently. This was because Aheng's build was similar to Lao Si's, so the words "tight" and "binding" shouldn't apply to them.

Gu Yilou tentatively asked him, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Yiheng replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's underwear, what else did you think it was?"

Gu Yilou: "..."

His expression at that moment was as if he had been struck by lightning.

He simply ordered a batch of special training uniforms to be sent to the military region.

God knows how a batch of underwear suddenly appeared.

The dimensions were also wrong.

Gu Yilou did not have anyone investigate what happened.

Judging from Ah Heng's wicked tone, he probably already knew it wasn't the batch of underwear he ordered, otherwise he wouldn't have said it only when he was about to leave.

After regaining his senses, Gu Yilou shook his head and turned on his computer.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Wu arrived at the military region and moved into Mi Yanghua's home.

This is also the result of Mi Yanghua's persistence.

In terms of age, Mi Yanghua is Shangguan Wu's elder, but in terms of seniority, Shangguan Wu and Mi Yanghua are considered to be of the same generation.

However, both of them intentionally concealed their connection to Hakugakure and treated each other as elder and junior.

To keep a secret, it's best not to mention it at all.

Therefore, very few people know about Hakugakure.

Furthermore, Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng live together, so Shangguan Wu can't just kick her older cousin out as soon as she arrives.

She still has her pride.

"Why did you call them over so early?" Shangguan Wu sighed.

Mi Yanghua looked out the window: "It's already dark, how can it be early?"

Shangguan Wu was taken aback by his words, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes: "But you've ruined all my surprises."

Mi Yanghua's lips twitched: "Please, have some mercy and stop putting pressure on me."

He didn't care, but he had a group of bachelors under his command. What if he provoked them too much and they all came to him asking for wives? If he went to Old Zhao in the cultural troupe, the other party would definitely kick him out.

Shangguan Wu: "..."

The special training ended in the evening.

Mi Yanghua's bodyguard found Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng, saying that the leader wanted to see them.

Gu Yunzhen subconsciously assumed that his wife had sent him something nice again.

Amidst envious glances, he got into the car.

He had considered that she might bring him some food.

But to my utter surprise, my wife came to the military region herself!

Gu Yunzhen's deep, dark eyes stared intently at Shangguan Wu before him. After a moment, he strode forward, picked up his little wife with his strong arms, spun her around twice, and grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

This was the first time Shangguan Wu had ever seen Gu Yunzhen so emotionally expressive.

"So happy?"

"nature."

Gu Yunzhen was overjoyed.

He put her down, but his arm was still around her waist: "Wife, did you come here for something else?" The director of the military hospital had come to see him several times.

Shangguan Wu met his gaze, her eyes curving into crescent shapes: "My son and I miss you so much!"

Son? Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He mentally calculated the time, then calmly asked, "Is it already confirmed?"
