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...
Du Wei didn't understand what 'the square was massacred' meant and looked completely bewildered.
Shangguan Wu glanced at him and decisively called Song Hongying.
As soon as I answered the phone, Song Hongying said, "Boss, we're dealing with something on Weibo right now, and we're too busy to handle it all. Can I call you back once we've resolved this?"
"Are they all working overtime?"
"Yes, except for a few who had to take leave, almost everyone is here."
"Then you guys go ahead with your work, we'll talk about it when I get to the company tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Wu opened a food delivery app and ordered twenty cups of milk tea, ten pizzas, and ten fried chicken combos. Finally, he filled in the company's address to treat everyone.
After all, you need to be well-fed to have the energy to do her work!
Shangguan Wu's lips curled up slightly.
Not long after, the car arrived at the steps of the villa in Gu Garden. She got out of the car, carrying Ping Pong Chrysanthemum, and walked inside.
"Fourth Young Mistress is back. Have you eaten?" Uncle Zhang greeted her and asked.
"Not yet." Shangguan Wu looked around but didn't see Gu Yunzhen. She asked, "Is he in the greenhouse?"
"Yes, Fourth Young Master is waiting for you to come back for dinner."
Uncle Zhang thought that if he said that, the fourth young mistress would be happy, and if the mistress was happy, then the master would naturally be happy too.
He then asked, "Fourth Young Madam, shall we prepare dinner now?"
Waiting for her? Shangguan Wu curled her lips. Although it was hard to believe, she was still happy to hear it.
"Get ready, I'll go call him for dinner."
Shangguan Wu carried the ping-pong chrysanthemum and walked quickly towards the greenhouse in the backyard.
In the greenhouse, Gu Yunzhen was staring intently at a pot of dark red black peony, which was as grand and elegant as the peony, the king of flowers.
Shangguan Wu walked up behind him and saw the chrysanthemums blooming in front of him. She exclaimed, "They're so beautiful! You've taken such good care of them, honey!"
"It's dying."
Gu Yunzhen's voice was calm and even.
Urgent! How can I salvage the situation after my flattery backfired?
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly as she looked closely at the pot of chrysanthemums. She noticed that some of its leaves were turning yellow and some had fallen into the pot. Was it sick?
But she studied traditional Chinese medicine, not botany!
Shangguan Wu lowered her eyes, looking at the colorful little balls, when suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She gave him the ping-pong chrysanthemum in her hand.
"Honey, these are the ping-pong chrysanthemums I bought. How about we exchange them for this pot of chrysanthemums? The ping-pong chrysanthemums bloom for about twenty days. Look at these little balls, aren't they cute?"
Gu Yunzhen reflexively reached out and took it.
In an instant, his brows furrowed.
"No change."
He's a grown man, why would he want cute flowers!
Gu Yunzhen placed her potted plant on the round table, her voice cold and clear: "Take it away."
Shangguan Wu glanced at Ping Pong Ju, then took his hands in both of hers and swayed them from side to side, pleading, "Let's switch, husband, let's switch!"
Gu Yunzhen's eyelids twitched.
"Shangguan Wu, let go!"
He gazed at her with deep, intense eyes.
"Mmm~" Shangguan Wu let out a melodious and alluring voice, holding his hand tightly: "I won't let go until you agree."
Gu Yunzhen's face darkened, and she forcefully pulled her hand back.
Shangguan Wu, however, took the opportunity to throw herself into his arms.
She sat on his lap, her arms around his neck, her lips close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Honey, let's switch!"
The movements were executed in one smooth motion, as if it had been planned in advance.
A chilling glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes. His long, slender fingers pinched her chin, and his voice was cold and sarcastic: "Do you really enjoy throwing yourself at men?"
Shangguan Wu's skin was fair and delicate, and deep red marks quickly appeared. She felt a little uncomfortable from being pinched, but his warm breath sprayed on her neck, making her blush and her heart race, as if she were drunk.
She bit her lip, her watery eyes like clear springs, gazing at his handsome face: "A man is a man, and a husband is a husband. A husband is not another man; you belong to me."
To emphasize her point, she added, "At least for this year, you are!"
He signed a one-year contract.
Instantly, Gu Yunzhen's brows furrowed with a sinister look, clearly indicating that she had been angered.
Looking at his expression, she knew she had touched a sore spot again.
Actually, she didn't want to.
She just wanted to hug him and kiss him.
Shangguan Wu felt that she had already forced the melon down, and whether it was sweet or not should be up to her to decide!
"Honey, although everyone has their own expertise, I'm a doctor, so please try to save that plant for me, just in case it survives. That way, you can give your mother-in-law some peace of mind!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhen's dark eyes became unfathomable.
Was she trying to help him?
"How can you save it if you don't even recognize it?"
Gu Yunzhen scoffed, a mocking smile curving her thin lips: "By the time you get to know it, it will have already been reincarnated."
"..."
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched violently.
Do you know that you've taken all of the nation's precious grain?
She tapped his shoulder with her index finger, then moved it down to press against his muscular chest through his shirt, smiling sweetly: "Honey, leave this to me, I'll figure out the rest. You just need to wait for good news."
Gu Yunzhen's Adam's apple bobbed, and his cold, emotionless gaze fell on the back of her hand. He said indifferently, "Take your hands off her."
"I don't want to take it, but it says it likes you."
Shangguan Wu, emboldened, drew circles on his chest.
If her hand is injured, he can't give her acupuncture, so he won't hurt her hand.
Gu Yunzhen raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, her eyes so cold they seemed to freeze into ice: "Shangguan Wu, I disdain to use violence against women, not that I can't!"
Shangguan Wu felt a pain in her wrist, but it was still within her tolerance. She just pouted and said aggrievedly, "You already hate me. If I leave for two days, you'll definitely forget about me, right?"
A glint of light flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep, ocean-like eyes.
She's no longer going down the "green tea" route?
Playing the victim and acting pitiful—is this some kind of innocent act?
To expect her to portray a delicate, innocent girl with her fierce, domineering personality is either an overestimation of her acting skills or an underestimation of her intelligence.
Relying on her memories, Shangguan Wu seemed to channel a pure and innocent heart: "Honey, I really like you. I just want to be closer to you. Please don't reject me anymore, okay?"
Her soft body gently rubbed against his.
Shameless.
I slowly wore him down.
Gu Yunzhen's brow twitched violently, and her Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He suddenly closed his eyes.
Suppressing the body's instinctive reactions with immense self-control.
"Get down!"
Gu Yunzhen's voice was deep and cold, exuding an aura that left no room for argument.
Shangguan Wu: ...
Who said that once a man has tasted the sweetness, he won't be willing to let go? That's nonsense.
Step forward!
She promises she won't kill him!
Just then, Uncle Zhang's voice came from outside the flower room: "Fourth Young Madam, the flowers you ordered have arrived. Where do you plan to put them?"
Shangguan Wu let out a soft "Eh."
