Ding Muyun's voice stopped abruptly.

This is the Imperial City, not Xizhou City. If she makes a scene, it will give Gu Chenge's mother a bad impression.

Therefore, after being led out of the room, Ding Muyun shouted, "Let me go!"

Du Wei let go of her hand.

Ding Muyun glared at him fiercely and left the old house in a huff.

Inside the room, Yan Yirou said worriedly, "Won't she talk nonsense when she goes out?"

"I don't know." Shangguan Wu wasn't sure either, but one thing was certain: "No matter what she says, she won't succeed."

"Too."

Yan Yirou felt relieved. Suddenly, she said with a smile, "Wu Bao, I forgot to tell you, my husband is coming back tomorrow afternoon, hehehe~"

Shangguan Wu stared at her without saying a word.

Yan Yirou met her gaze, her heart pounding: "W-what's wrong?"

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly: "You didn't forget, you said it for the fourteenth time."

Yan Yirou blinked in surprise: "Really?"

"Should we ask Mom?" Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow.

Yan Yirou quickly shook her head: "No need."

She seemed to remember saying it a few times, but she didn't expect it to be fourteen times, so she felt a little... embarrassed.

She hugged Shangguan Wu's arm and snuggled closer, saying, "Sigh, tomorrow isn't any important day. I don't know why he's coming back."

Although Yan Yirou was complaining, the corners of her mouth were turned up to the sky.

Anyone with eyes could see how happy she was.

After enduring a lot of PDA, Shangguan Wu glanced at her sideways and said, "Third Brother said, so I'll leave?"

"Well!"

Yan Yirou cleared her throat: "Since you're already back, why don't you rest for a couple of days before leaving? Otherwise, you'll be too tired!"

Shangguan Wu burst out laughing.

"Feeling sorry for him?" she asked.

Yan Yirou blushed instantly, then grumbled, "It's normal for me to feel sorry for my own husband!"

Shangguan Wu's smile deepened: "Hmm, it's quite normal."

Around midnight, Jimo Yan called to say it was time to eat.

Shangguan Wu and Yan Yirou went out together.

A little while later, the two sat down next to Ji Moyan.

Shangguan Wu looked at Madam Qin, who was sitting at the same table, and smiled: "Aunt, when did you arrive? You've become even more beautiful."

Madam Qin raised her hand and tapped her, saying with a mixture of helplessness and affection, "You silly girl, you've gone home but you don't even come to visit your uncle. Your grandmother misses you terribly."

Shangguan Wu immediately declared, "I'll go see my grandparents tomorrow."

Madam Qin smiled and said, "Alright."

The people sitting at this table are all acquaintances, including Auntie, Madam Mu, and Madam Su and her daughter.

After exchanging greetings, Yan Yirou and Su Tiantian began to chat in hushed tones.

Not long after, Gu Yunzhen came over carrying Xiao Tianyou and sat down next to Shangguan Wu.

Shangguan Wu looked into her son's bright eyes, reached out to tease him, and asked, "When did he wake up?"

Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "You woke up when you called me."

Shangguan Wu understood.

He was the one who woke his son up.

Didn't he cry?

"Hmm, you did well today."

Gu Yunzhen glanced down at her son. The boy probably knew that no one would comfort him if he cried.

The ladies at the next table looked at Shangguan Wu and Yan Yirou and envied Ji Moyan for having two such beautiful daughters-in-law. They then praised Gu Yunzhen and the children.

Ji Moyan also smiled and praised them for having a good son and a good daughter-in-law.

Amidst a flurry of mutual flattery, the banquet began.

After three dishes were served, Yan Yixuan and Zeng Chengxian came hand in hand to toast everyone.

Mrs. Su, representing the table, offered her blessings: "Wishing you both a happy marriage and a baby soon."

"Thanks."

After Zeng Chengxian finished speaking, he drank the sake in his cup in one gulp.

Yan Yixuan looked at Yan Yirou triumphantly: "Sister, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so happy now. I really hope that brother-in-law can be by your side every day."

Good heavens!

This is deliberately meant to provoke Yan Yirou, because Gu Chenye's profession is so special that he can't come home often.

Both Ji Moyan and Shangguan Wu's expressions changed slightly.

Yan Yirou felt wronged, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "Don't say that. Your happiness has nothing to do with me. You earned it all by yourself."

If her marriage is unhappy in the future, it will have absolutely nothing to do with her.

Yan Yirou added in her mind, and then said, "But as someone who's been through this, let me tell you a few more words. Those men who are always chasing after women are the most useless. Only by working hard can you support yourself."

Does he revolve around women all day?

Gu Yunzhen gazed thoughtfully at Shangguan Wu, one hand touching her knee.

It felt like I'd been shot in the knee.

But he felt he was quite successful, and that even if he didn't work, he could support his wife for the rest of his life, and even the next eight lifetimes.

Shangguan Wu noticed his gaze, turned around and met his eyes, and was suddenly startled.

Is he taking this personally?

Shangguan Wu was both amused and exasperated. If she weren't holding Xiao Tianyou in her arms, she would have loved to stroke his fluffy hair and comfort the aggrieved big dog.

Yan Yirou didn't mention Gu Yunzhen's meaning at all.

If Yan Yirou knew he had taken it personally, she would probably say: "[Friendly fire, Fourth Brother, I'm so sorry]"

Yan Yixuan was stunned: "..."

She thought Yan Yirou would say, "You know that's good," and that she would use that phrase to ask for favors from her later.

But Yan Yirou actually said it had nothing to do with her?

Yan Yixuan felt like she had punched cotton, and her whole body felt uncomfortable and uneasy.
