Ji Moyan gently patted the back of her hand and said, "Of course I came. But when I left, Old Qi said he wanted to catch up with some old friends and asked me to take you home first. He and Old Huang will be back later."

Reminiscing with old friends?

Shangguan Wu immediately thought of the president of the Perfumery Association.

Ji Moyan looked at her and thought that since her fourth son wasn't around, she had to pamper her even more. That way, her daughter-in-law would be in a good mood and healthy.

"Wu Bao, we're still a ways from home. Do you want to lean on me and take a nap?"

"Mom, you're so good to me~"

Shangguan Wu leaned on her mother-in-law's shoulder and closed her eyes.

Ji Moyan chuckled gently, "You're my daughter!"

Shangguan Wu's lips curled into a smile, but suddenly, her smile froze, and she opened her eyes: "Mom, I forgot about Rou Rou..."

"Pfft~" Ji Moyan laughed out loud and reassured her, "Don't worry, the third brother has taken her away."

"Third Brother has been discharged from the hospital?" Shangguan Wu immediately perked up.

Ji Moyan nodded: "Yes, the doctor said he can be discharged. He's going back to his unit tomorrow, so he's probably here to say goodbye to Rou Rou."

Rou Rou must be heartbroken.

Shangguan Wu thought to herself, but said aloud, "Is that so? Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and absence makes the heart grow fonder. Third Brother should propose to Rou Rou next time he comes back."

Immediately, Ji Moyan grinned from ear to ear: "Then I'll start preparing when I get back to the capital. When the third brother comes back and successfully proposes, our family will be able to hold a wedding!"

Shangguan Wu smiled slightly and said, "I'll help you prepare."

Ji Moyan's smile deepened: "Okay, then you can give me your opinion. I'll feel at ease with you overseeing things."

Shangguan Wu hummed in agreement. She knew that her mother-in-law was only saying that because she didn't want to tire herself out.

With a smile on her lips, she nestled against her mother-in-law and drifted off to sleep.

In the passenger seat, Yan Yirou turned her head to look at the cold-faced man: "Where are you taking me?"

Gu Chenye looked straight ahead: "Let's eat. What would you like to eat?"

"Spicy crayfish!" Yan Yirou exclaimed, her mouth watering. She licked her lips, her mouth watering.

"How about we go to the night market to buy crayfish and eat them at the hotel?"

Asking my boyfriend to go to a hotel seems a bit strange, doesn't it?

Yan Yirou added, "If we bring Gu Yuan back, Wu Bao will probably be so envious he'll cry."

Gu Chenye had no objection: "Okay."

He made a U-turn at the next intersection and headed at a steady speed toward the most famous night market street in Changteng City.

Yan Yirou asked in surprise, "You know the way?"

Gu Chenye replied, "I looked at the map before I came."

"Oh~"

Yan Yirou thought of how he was still recuperating in the capital and had already made a plan. The corners of her mouth turned up uncontrollably, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

This feeling of being cared for is like eating an ice cream on a hot summer day—it's incredibly refreshing from the inside out!

The next second, Yan Yirou leaned over and kissed him.

She suddenly moved closer, and a faint fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

Gu Chenye froze, feeling the spot where her soft lips touched him heat up rapidly in 0.01 seconds.

beep beep—

The car behind him honked, urging him on. Only then did Gu Chenye realize what was happening. Without realizing it, he reduced his speed to a crawl, like a snail.

Gu Chenye's ears turned even redder, but he calmly accelerated.

Yan Yirou saw his reaction and felt a little guilty for her impulsiveness, but now she felt a little smug.

She felt that she could introduce more surprises in the future.

Because his reaction was so unexpectedly adorable!

Who would have thought that this tough guy was actually an innocent little boy!

Yan Yirou became happier and happier as she thought about it, and the corners of her mouth never left her lips.

About twenty minutes later, they finally arrived at the night market street.

This is the most vibrant and lively area in Nagō City, featuring must-try local snacks and regional delicacies, making it a favorite among young people.

The place is bustling with people every day, creating a lively atmosphere.

At this moment, the lights were enchanting, and all 360 stalls were set up, illuminating the entire street.

The menu includes fried skewers, barbecue, seafood, braised dishes, braised beef offal, rice noodle soup, spicy crayfish, and more, as well as homemade drinks, cold drink shops, tea shops, and more...

A long queue formed outside the milk tea shop under the night sky. Unlike Wu Bao, Yan Yirou didn't insist on drinking the Youlan Latte from the milk tea shop. Instead, she bought two large cups of lemon grapefruit tea from the grass jelly shop to go.

Gu Chenye carried her with one hand and put his other arm around her shoulder to reduce the chance of her bumping into the crowd.

With him around, Yan Yirou wandered freely among the various stalls, wanting to eat this and that, and ended up packing more and more food to go.

This street is full of handsome men and beautiful women, but Gu Chenye and Yan Yirou, one a roguish and tough guy, the other a charming and cute girl, attracted the attention of many passersby.

Whenever Yan Yirou stood in front of the stall, Gu Chenye would stand behind her, protecting her like a big tree, making her feel safe and secure.

Gu Chenye was exceptionally charming, and more and more eyes were drawn to him.

"He's so handsome!"

"His girlfriend is so lucky!"

"I hope it's his sister..."

Yan Yirou, with her sharp ears, heard the whispers and then belatedly realized that there were many young women around her.

Suddenly, she regretted not putting a mask on Gu Chenye.

Gu Chenye is hers.

Yan Yirou didn't want to shop any longer, so she went straight to the spicy crayfish stall: "Boss, please give me ten catties of crayfish to go."

Gu Chenye raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to shop anymore?"

If he kept walking, he'd be lured away by a young, pretty girl. Yan Yirou didn't dare say this aloud, so she made up an excuse: "My feet hurt, I don't want to walk anymore."

Gu Chenye squatted down in front of her: "Get on, I'll carry you."

Yan Yirou was stunned for a moment, then bent down to help him up, whispering in his ear, "You don't need to carry me, I just want to take you back to the hotel as soon as possible!"

Gu Chenye's gaze narrowed slightly.

How can she say such things to outsiders?!

Yan Yirou had no idea what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely have said, "This is nothing!"

She held his arm intimately, as if silently declaring: This is my man, and no outsider can even think about coveting him!

Gu Chenye looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

After the spicy crayfish was cooked, Yan Yirou really took him away from the bustling night market street.

It was an hour later when we arrived at the Hualong Hotel.

Gu Chenye booked a double suite.

Yan Yirou's eyes widened in shock. He actually booked a double room? His beautiful girlfriend was standing right next to him, didn't he have any thoughts about it at all?

As she stepped into the elevator, Yan Yirou would occasionally glance up at Gu Chenye.

Gu Chenye's eyelids twitched: "What's wrong?"

Yan Yirou pursed her lips. What was wrong with her? She suspected he wasn't a man...

"I think there's one more thing I haven't bought yet."

"..."

Gu Chenye's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the camera without making it obvious before speaking in a serious tone: "No need to buy, I'm leaving at midnight."
