Gu Yunzhen felt a little uncomfortable with her coldness.

But she still lay down on the bed as instructed.

Soon, Shangguan Wu came over, unbuckled his belt, and took off his pants.

Gu Yunzhen frowned, intending to reach out and hold her hand down, but in the end, he cooperated with her to take off her pants...

He's really quite ill!

A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he noticed that Shangguan Wu had a tense face, pursed her lips, and didn't say a word. She took out silver needles and focused intently on applying them.

Her attitude made him feel a little embarrassed that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Shangguan Wu didn't think much when she was getting acupuncture, but Gu Yunzhen's legs were so hard that even the silver needles couldn't be inserted.

She turned to look at his face: "Relax, don't be so stiff!"

Gu Yunzhen met her helpless gaze and forced herself to calm down.

Shangguan Wu glanced at him, walked to the sofa area, took a thin blanket, and came back to cover his abdomen and thighs.

Gu Yunzhen looked slightly taken aback.

He gradually loosened his clenched fist.

Shangguan Wu pinched the muscles on his legs from time to time until they were no longer stiff, then picked up the silver needles and quickly and accurately inserted them into the acupoints.

After administering the acupuncture, she took out a small notebook to record the changes in his legs.

"Speak up if you feel even the slightest sting, don't hold it in, otherwise it will cause me to make a wrong judgment."

Shangguan Wu's serious demeanor was very attractive, but her tone was formulaic, like when she talked to people in her company on the phone—neither coquettish nor soft, but with a hint of assertiveness.

Gu Yunzhen suddenly frowned, a little annoyed.

Shangguan Wu was still looking at him when he uttered a single word: "Mm."

Shangguan Wu withdrew his gaze.

Gu Yunzhen didn't feel anything at first, but after about twenty minutes, he could clearly feel that his calves were a little numb, a little itchy, and a little swollen.

He told them one by one.

Shangguan Wu wrote it down in his notebook.

It went pretty much as she expected. If he strictly followed her rules—no smoking, no alcohol, no spicy food, and no staying up late—the acupuncture would have been even more effective. But it wasn't a big problem; it would just have extended the rehabilitation period by a week.

However, once the second phase of treatment begins, she will be extremely strict with him and will not allow him to misbehave!

"alright."

Shangguan Wu put the silver needles on the dressing table, intending to disinfect them later. She picked up a medicine packet and walked towards the bathroom.

After the acupuncture session, an incredulous glint flashed in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes.

Compared to the brief stinging pain he experienced last time, after the acupuncture wore off and he felt nothing again, he had a strong feeling that his legs were about to regain their pain sensation!

"Let's have a medicinal bath tonight," he suddenly suggested.

Shangguan Wu stood at the bathroom door and turned back: "But I don't know when I'll be back tonight. Starting today, you must go to bed early and get up early, eat healthily, and take medicinal baths, so let's give you a medicinal bath first."

Gu Yunzhen frowned: "The banquet will end no later than ten o'clock."

Did he really go and inquire?

Shangguan Wu blinked: "What if something happens on the way and we're delayed?"

Gu Yunzhen's handsome face darkened: "No."

Well.

Shangguan Wu was taken aback for two seconds. If she continued, she would be cursing herself. She nodded and said, "I will try to come back as soon as possible, but I may be very tired and not want to move, so you can take a medicinal bath now."

After she finished speaking, she went into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with one-third hot water.

Gu Yunzhen's sword-like eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Shangguan Wu put the medicine packet inside, walked out of the bathroom, picked up the silver needles, and left.

Gu Yunzhen knew she was going downstairs to disinfect, so he didn't stop her. But he picked up his phone, found Gu Shisan's number, and dialed it.

After only two rings, Gu Shisan's voice came through the phone: "Hello, Fourth Young Master, what can I do for you?"

"Do you have an invitation to the banquet hosted by the Shen family?"

"Yes, Shen Zhenhai's secretary sent an invitation, but I..."

Before Gu Shisan could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen interrupted him calmly: "Give me the invitation."

Gu Shisan on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded.

When they were abroad, the four young masters had never even attended a party hosted by a duke. Now, they were actually attending a dinner party hosted by a small family.

Do married men really change that much?

"Deliver it to Gu Garden before dark."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yunzhen hung up the phone.

Gu Shisan: "..."

He glanced at the sky, suddenly stood up and walked out of the office, asking, "Who has the invitation letter from the Shen family?"

The special assistants exchanged glances, and one of the middle-aged men raised his hand and said, "It's with me."

Gu Shisan strode towards him: "Give it to me."

The middle-aged man took the invitation out of the drawer and placed it in his hand.

Gu Shisan took the invitation and saw a wedding invitation on his desk: "Going to a wedding? Go ahead, I'll give you a day off." It was his compensation for taking back the invitation.

"..."

The middle-aged man was not really keen on attending the Han family's wedding.

However, after Gu Shisan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his office. He then asked someone to take the private elevator up. When the person arrived, he handed over the invitation and said, "Send it to Gu Garden and give it to Eleven immediately."

Gu Garden.

After disinfecting the silver needles, Shangguan Wu put them away and walked up the stairs step by step, pondering a very serious problem.

flutter?

Or not to pounce?

If she were to force herself on Gu Yunzhen a second time, any goodwill he might have developed towards her would likely vanish completely, and he might even start to dislike her again.

So you absolutely must not do it!

She should think about how to make Shangguan Xiong suffer the consequences of his actions tonight!

A cold glint flashed in Shangguan Wu's eyes.

Back in the bedroom, she put away the silver needles and went to the bedside to take Gu Yunzhen's pulse.

Gu Yunzhen looked at her and said, "I feel much better."

Shangguan Wu withdrew her hand and raised an eyebrow: "Now you know I wasn't lying to you, right?"

Gu Yunzhen was slightly taken aback.

After a long pause, he apologized, "I'm sorry, you are indeed an outstanding traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."

Shangguan Wu was stunned for a moment.

Did Gu Yunzhen apologize to her?

"You won't accept it?" Gu Yunzhen frowned slightly.

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "Just because you apologize doesn't mean I have to accept it."

Before he could speak, she raised her chin and scoffed, "You'd better think about how you're going to thank me after I've completely healed your leg!"

Gu Yunzhen looked into her bright eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes, I think so."

Although it is only three words, each word seems to weigh a ton.

Shangguan Wu's expression froze for a moment. His deep voice was magnetic and incredibly pleasant to listen to, especially those three words, which sounded rather gentle!

The key point is, she tells him to think about it, and he does?

Why is he suddenly so easy to talk to?

Was it because he was about to cure his leg that he was so grateful to her?

Shangguan Wu frowned and walked toward the bathroom.

A look of confusion appeared in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes. Why was she still angry?

Shangguan Wu added another third of the hot water, and the temperature was just right. She called out, "You can come in and take a medicinal bath now!"
