While speaking, Ji Mingjing secretly turned on her phone to record the conversation.

Upon hearing his words, Gu Yunzhen knew he was up to something. Her deep eyes narrowed slightly as she walked away, saying, "Stop trying to sow discord here. Do you think I'm like you?"

Ji Mingjing retorted, "How am I sowing discord? I'm simply stating the facts. And what's wrong with me?"

"Didn't you say that you should speak up if you have any opinions, so that your wife can correct you and become a perfect partner?"

Gu Yunzhen began to set a trap for him, and slowly continued, "I am very satisfied with my wife. I like and love every aspect of her very much."

But when you said those things, it was obvious you had a problem with it, but you kept it to yourself because Rongrong is pregnant, so you only complained to me, right?

"What a load of rubbish!"

Ji Mingjing never expected that his efforts would backfire.

If his wife heard this, he would definitely be sleeping in the study tonight.

Ji Mingjing turned off the phone recording and looked at him mockingly, "I think your skin is getting thicker and thicker. Even Qin San would be ashamed of himself in comparison to you."

Gu Yunzhen said in a tone that suggested she knew him very well, "If you can't explain it, you drag others into it. I understand."

"Fuck! You don't know anything!"

Ji Mingjing cursed.

He was furious.

I should have just let Gu Yunzhen be depressed in the study by himself. Why did he have to comfort him? Was he just bored?

Gu Yunzhen, however, was in a very good mood.

I let out a long breath, and it felt so good!

Two grown men walked into the living room, where Gu Chenye was cutting fruit, while Yan Yirou and Rongrong were eating it.

Ji Mingjing quickly went over and said, "Third Brother, you've worked hard. Let me cut the pieces now, you can rest."

Gu Chenye looked up at him: "It's just cutting fruit, it's no big deal, I'm not tired."

Ji Mingjing: "...Then I'll have to trouble you, Third Brother."

He walked over and sat down next to Rongrong.

Gu Yunzhen sat on a single sofa, with her legs crossed.

Yan Yirou observed his expression, which seemed much better than when he first arrived. Had he made contact with Wu Bao?

But she has sent many messages to Wubao and has not received a reply yet.

—Wouldn't Wubao be so sexist?

Yan Yirou looked at Rongrong.

Rongrong also noticed Gu Yunzhen's change. She turned her head and looked at Yan Yirou. As if she understood her eyes, her lips twitched slightly.

—Wu Bao isn't sexist; she's hypocritical.

Back then, Wu Bao only had two kinds of people in her eyes: one was Fourth Young Master Gu, and the other was everyone except Fourth Young Master Gu.

Yan Yirou's eyes suddenly widened, as if she had caught Rongrong's gaze.

The two exchanged such blatant glances that it would be difficult for the three men present to pretend they didn't see it, especially Gu Yunzhen, since they had all looked at him, and with his keen senses, he had already noticed.

He simply turned a blind eye because he knew they were covering for his wife.

At approximately 6:30, Shangguan Wu arrived at the Ji family residence.

The steward led Shangguan Wu and Du Wei to the family head's courtyard—Wuya Courtyard.

When Yan Yirou saw her, she exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, Wu Bao, you're finally here! We've been waiting forever!"

Rongrong chimed in, "Yes, Rourou has called you several times, but no one answered."

Shangguan Wu looked at them and quickly realized, "Huh? My phone probably ran out of battery and shut down automatically."

To go all the way, Rongrong said, "I'll get you a charger to charge your phone."

Just as she was about to stand up, Ji Mingjing pressed her down: "You sit down, I'll go get it for her."

Shangguan Wu walked to Gu Yunzhen's side, who had a calm expression, and placed her hand on his sofa. At this moment, she was unsure of what he was thinking, so she did not dare to start a conversation.

Although she knew he wouldn't embarrass her in front of others, she still felt guilty.

Gu Yunzhen observed the guilty-looking man out of the corner of her eye. Although she didn't show it on her face, she felt comfortable inside. She felt guilty because she felt bad about deceiving him.

As a man, he naturally wouldn't argue with his wife over trivial matters.

He raised his hand and took her hand, which was resting on the sofa. Although he didn't say anything, he believed that she had heard his thoughts.

When Shangguan Wu saw him take her hand, a warm feeling rose in her heart and slowly flowed to her limbs.

She wasn't nervous at all anymore.

However, she didn't hear Gu Yunzhen's true feelings. She just felt that he wasn't angry, but he wasn't completely without anger either. So she planned to coax him again when they were alone together that night.

After searching for two minutes, Ji Mingjing handed a charger to Shangguan Wu.

Thank you.

Shangguan Wu took the charger, plugged in her phone, and walked to a power outlet to charge it.

Ji Mingjing, being taller than Shangguan Wu, saw that the battery level of Shangguan Wu's phone was 70% the moment the screen lit up.

Ji Mingjing suddenly raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, Shangguan Wu lied!

Just as he was about to speak, Rongrong suddenly cleared her throat: "Honey, I want to drink honey water. Could you make me a cup?"

In an instant, Ji Mingjing forgot what he was going to say and replied, "Okay."

He turned and strode out of the living room.

Yan Yirou secretly gave Rongrong a thumbs up.

Rongrong stood up, supporting herself on the sofa: "Wubao, I'm feeling a little unwell. Could you check me out?"

Shangguan Wu immediately looked up and walked towards her, asking with concern, "Where do you feel unwell?"

"I can't really explain it. Come to my room with me."

Rongrong took Shangguan Wu's arm and looked at Gu Yunzhen, saying, "Fourth Young Master, I'm sorry, I'll borrow Wu Bao for ten minutes."

Gu Yunzhen said in a low voice, "Please do as you wish."

Yan Yirou also got up: "I'll go see what's going on." She took Shangguan Wu's phone and charger with her to the room.

Gu Chenye sighed.

His silly wife.

She's making things so obvious, does she think her fourth brother is blind?

What could Gu Chenye do but protect his wife?

He looked at his younger brother, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Gu Yunzhen sat lazily on the sofa, his thin lips slightly parted: "Third Brother seems to have something to say?"

Gu Chenye had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know where to start. He sat down first, his eyes full of seriousness: "Your third sister-in-law is rather simple-minded. She's good friends with your sister-in-law, so she sometimes sides with relatives over right and wrong. You understand what I mean, right?"

He explained it so clearly, how could Gu Yunzhen not understand?

"Third Brother, you're overthinking it."

"Yeah?"

Although Gu Chenye is rather oblivious to matters of the heart, he can still sense his younger brother's emotions, which have been quite low ever since he entered the Ji family.

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow and calmly said, "Of course, my wife is perfect in every way, and our relationship is as strong as a city wall."

Hearing him say that, Gu Chenye's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally settled down safely.

At this moment, inside the room.

Yan Yirou was also asking Shangguan Wu about Xia Zilu.
