He thought the date would involve eating, shopping, and watching a movie, but he never expected her to want to go on a date to a haunted school!

"A haunted school? Is it like a haunted house?"

Does she like this?

"It's different. The haunted school is an upgraded version of the haunted house, hehehe~" Yan Yirou said with a grin, without revealing any more information.

Gu Chenye felt that her laughter was just as good as...

“Aren’t you afraid?” he asked.

Yan Yirou smiled mischievously: "If you're scared, I can protect you~"

Sister? Gu Chenye's lips twitched twice, and he turned his head to look at her while the light was red.

When Yan Yirou met his gaze, it was as if his eyes were a magnet, drawing her in.

Gradually, she felt uneasy, but luckily she was flexible: "Brother~ let's go eat first!"

After saying that, Yan Yirou turned her face away and looked at the scenery outside the car window.

She kept telling herself: As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!

Gu Chenye twitched the corner of his mouth. What do you call her? Cowardly yet playful.

In Gu Garden, Shangguan Wu sat in the flower room for a while before Ji Moyan arrived with a smile.

"Wu Bao, I just saw Lao San take Rou Rou out. Are they going on a date?"

Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "Yes, Mom."

"I hope the third son seizes the opportunity to propose!" That way, she'll only have to worry about the second son's marriage!

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Has Third Brother's marriage application been approved?"

"They should be down by now, I didn't ask."

After speaking uncertainly, Ji Moyan remembered the important matter and asked, "Wu Bao, what are your plans for your birthday banquet the day after tomorrow? Will you hold it at Gu Garden or at a hotel?"

Shangguan Wu had already thought about this a couple of days ago: "Mom, on my birthday, we can just have a family meal together."

Ji Moyan asked in surprise, "You're not going to do it? What's wrong? Is the baby making a fuss again?"

Shangguan Wu looked down at her bulging belly and smiled gently: "No, he's very well-behaved."

Seeing her smile, Ji Moyan stopped asking and patted her head, saying, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, as long as you're happy."

"Thank you, Mom!"

Shangguan Wu happily rubbed against her mother-in-law's hand, like a spoiled kitten.

Ji Moyan's heart melted instantly. Who wouldn't love such a beautiful, delicate, and gentle daughter-in-law!

Shangguan Wu originally wanted to keep things simple, just have a meal with her family, but she didn't expect her maternal grandparents and uncle to come to Changteng City to celebrate her birthday.

Grandma said she missed her first birthday celebration when she came back last year, so she must make up for it this year.

Shangguan Wu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

She's not usually a crybaby, but she always ends up crying on her birthday.

Rongrong and Ji Mingjing also arrived.

Also present were Chen Xintong, Song Hongying and Kang Jie from Tiansong Company. Although they couldn't come in person, they sent birthday gifts.

Because of the international perfumery competition, her name is known almost everywhere on the internet. Now, with Mu Liangzhou leading the way in wishing her a happy birthday, and He Xiu, Jiang Shuo, Wu Zhou and others also sending their blessings, Shangguan Wu has become a trending topic.

However, Shangguan Wu's trending topic was taken down as soon as it appeared.

So she was completely unaware.

Around noon, Shangguan Wu received a call from Shangguan Shuang.

"Happy birthday, little sister. I'm sorry I can't wish you a happy birthday in person. May you have a peaceful and joyful life, and may you never lose what you have gained, and never regret what you have lost."

"Thank you, Second Sister! Where are you making this call? Won't someone report you and it affect your competition?"

"It's okay, I made it in Mu Liangzhou's room, no one will find out."

"Huh~" It's actually in Mu Liangzhou's room?

"Don't overthink it, I just called to wish you a happy birthday, I'll be leaving in a bit."

"Oh, I wasn't thinking much of it."

Shangguan Wu's lips involuntarily curled upwards.

Second Sister probably hasn't heard the saying "It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away." Although it was Mu Liangzhou's room, she needed his help, so how could he let this opportunity pass?

"Ahem, I'll hang up now. I prepared the birthday present a long time ago, I hope you like it."

"I'll like whatever my second sister gives me!"

After the call ended, Shangguan Wu's smile was as bright as the sun.

Could she perhaps look forward to a call from Gu Yunzhen?

Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the canteen at the headquarters of the Divine Messenger Organization.

Gu Yunzhen and Qin Yiheng, dressed in chef's uniforms and hats, stood with their arms crossed against the wall.

They stayed on the island as chefs.

I learned from the head chef of Tianlongbao for five days.

To protect Martha, Jonathan used his connections to get them into the Divine Messenger organization's canteen without alerting any high-ranking members.

But now, Gu Yunzhen's decision has been opposed by Qin Yiheng.

“I think it’s too risky. After this year, you can celebrate her birthday every year. If you call now and it gets exposed, you’ll lose your life, and other men will be celebrating her birthday with you in the future.”

Master Heng's mouth is too sharp!

Gu Shiyi, who was standing guard at the door, was terrified as he listened.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep black eyes as she stared coldly at Qin Yiheng.

Qin Yiheng didn't care at all: "It's no use glaring at me. I can help you take the ashes back, but I don't know if Wu Bao can handle it."

Gu Yunzhen: "!!!"

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "Are you still going to make the call?"

What a load of crap! He's already said that, how can he possibly make a phone call?

If Gu Yunzhen were 100% certain, he would have made the call long ago. He could take the risk alone, but he couldn't drag others down with him.

He did act impulsively just now.

After calming down, he glanced at Qin Yiheng and said, "Thanks."

Qin Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Wu Bao would act recklessly because of love, but now he felt relieved. He patted Wu Bao on the shoulder and said, "I'll explain to Wu Bao when we get back that you didn't forget her birthday."

Gu Yunzhen glanced at him indifferently: "No need, my wife is very understanding."

Qin Yiheng's lips twitched twice. Fine, he was the one who acted like a villain.

Since he couldn't call his wife, he decided to celebrate! Gu Yunzhen was optimistic, a cold smile curving his thin lips: "Brother Heng, is everything ready?"

"Shall we make our move today?"

Qin Yiheng suddenly became serious: "Isn't it a bit too early? What if..."

Gu Yunzhen interrupted him in a cold voice: "Just to give them a sound."

Qin Yiheng: "Are you trying to alert the enemy?"

Gu Yunzhen nodded: "Yes, Tianlong Fortress can keep it a secret, but the pirates can't. Bruce Lunt must be on guard. A direct confrontation in the first battle would result in too many losses. We might as well launch a feint attack, first to alert them, then to lure them out of their hole, forcing them into the ambush, and annihilating them in one fell swoop!"

Qin Yiheng paused for a moment, considered the feasibility, and finally gave him a thumbs up: "Great! I thought all you could think about now was your little cousin."

Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly in response to the teasing.

"It's just her. I want to go back to see her as soon as possible, is that not allowed?"
