Chapter 588: Bandits (17)

Gu Weiming actually felt happy, after all, if she weren't Liu Qiming's daughter, then maybe he could...

Wen Wan was crying in her sleep, but she didn't wake up. After all, she couldn't feel the pain. However, although the pain was gone, her body was still injured, so she would have normal physiological reactions.

Gu Weiming reached out and wiped away Wen Wan's tears, then began to touch her face, eventually rubbing a small patch of skin until it turned red. "You still haven't woken up after all this? You really have a big heart."

Wen Wan felt a little itchy, so she simply waved her hand.

The next second, Wen Wan had a dream. She dreamed that there was a wolfhound and she was playing with it. Suddenly, the wolfhound bit her face and then even bit her mouth. She tried to avoid it, but she couldn't move at all.

...

When Wen Wan woke up, her lips felt burning hot. After changing her clothes, she looked in the mirror and saw that her lips were swollen. "Could I have been bitten by mosquitoes?"

"Why is your face all red?"

Not only her face, but also her collarbone and chest, were covered in little red marks. "System, am I having an allergic reaction?"

system:【……】

That was obviously chewed out, right?

[It's probably a mosquito bite.]

"Oh well, I'll just go find Jasmine and get some medicine to apply."

Just then, the door opened, and Gu Weiming came in carrying food. "Since you're awake, come and have some breakfast."

Wen Wan was drawn in by the aroma. "Did you make this yourself?"

Gu Weiming nodded.

"Gu Weiming, I slept with you last night, why did the mosquitoes only bite me and not you?"

Gu Weiming: "..."

Her eyes flickered. "I don't know. Maybe it's because your skin is more delicate, while mine is thicker, so mosquitoes don't bite me."

Wen Wan looked at Gu Weiming. Although Gu Weiming's skin was not as fair as hers, it was definitely not dark either. In fact, it was a shade lighter than all the men in the manor. It was definitely not a case of thick skin.

"You eat first."

Gu Weiming went out and returned quickly, holding a tube of ointment in his hand. "Let me apply it for you, you can continue taking your medicine."

Wen Yan: "???"

She took a step back. "Something's not right with you. Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? You're not plotting something, are you?"

Gu Weiming: "..."

“You are my wife. If you go out like this, people will know you were bitten by mosquitoes, but those who don’t know will think I’m abusing you.”

Wen Wan: Okay.

"But I'll do it myself."

"I'll wipe it after I finish eating."

Gu Weiming didn't insist. Wen Wan quickly finished her breakfast and then looked at Gu Weiming, "You're not going to watch me apply the medicine, are you, Boss Gu?"

Gu Weiming packed up the dishes and left. Wen Wan asked the system to check the ointment. "He was really acting strange today. Could he have poisoned me?"

System: [Host, you're really overthinking it. He's the male lead, how could he possibly use such low-level methods? This medicine is very effective at promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, you should apply it quickly.]

Wen Wan felt relieved, then looked in the mirror and wiped her mouth and face. After that, she took off her outer clothes and carefully wiped the red spots on her collarbone. "How come there are even these on my stomach? I was wearing clothes! These mosquitoes are so annoying."

system:【……】

Even though it hoped that the host and the male lead would get together soon, it still had to admit that the male lead was a real beast. He practically devoured his host's entire body. Where did this pervert come from?

After applying the medicine, Jasmine came to attend to Wen Wan, "Madam, are you alright?"

"What could be wrong with me? It's just that I'm being bitten to death by mosquitoes tonight."

"Mosquitoes? Are there any mosquitoes in this room? I haven't seen a single one."

Wen Yan: "..."

So, did the mosquitoes only bite her? But there's another possibility: she was bitten when she went out at night, and it was just more noticeable after she woke up.

"Then I'll go buy some mugwort to fumigate."

Wen Wan nodded. "Thank you. Where's Shu Tong?"

"Miss Shu Tong went fishing with the second-in-command."

Wen Yan: "..."

Taking a break from fishing? As expected, Lei Ming soon revealed his true colors, taking his crush to the river to catch fish. This is practically the way a clueless straight man dates. "Let's go take a look."

...

News of what Wen Wan did last night also quickly spread.

Gu Weiming was extremely busy, busy eliminating the enemy. After all, the enemy had been in a state of shock and diarrhea all morning, which was when their strength was at its weakest. Gu Weiming led the people in the stronghold to attack. After a not-too-fierce battle, they captured Chen's father. As for Chen Heng, he escaped in the chaos.

This is truly a touching father-son relationship; it's incredibly moving.

They also seized over 500 guns, countless bullets, and other weapons.

Wen Wan kept her achievements hidden, and then went fishing with Shu Tong and Lei Ming. Their relationship had obviously taken a qualitative leap. She originally thought that Shu Tong would change Lei Ming, but in the end, it was Lei Ming who changed Shu Tong.

Shu Tong joined in Lei Ming's antics, her smile widening and her demeanor becoming much more relaxed.

"Are you happy?" Wen Wan asked Shu Tong.

Shu Tong looked at Lei Ming, who was cleaning fish, and said, "To be honest, these past few days have been the happiest days of my life. I don't have to think about anything or do anything. Every day I experience countless things I've never done before."

"Will you stay?"

Shu Tong's smile faded. "I don't know. My father won't let this go."

"He can't take you away. As long as you're not bound by family ties, no one can take you away. Choosing your own life is not wrong, nor is it unfilial. Moreover, the premise of filial piety is that parents want what's best for you. Family ties are a two-way street, not just children blindly supporting each other."

"You'll only live for a few decades, maybe a hundred at most. Be a little selfish, Shutong. Live more for yourself and seek more benefits for yourself."

Shu Tong looked at Wen Wan and said, "A Yue, you are completely different from before. You would never have said these things before. You would have wished for me to marry a rich man and become a wealthy wife."

Wen Yan: "..."

"I've grown up too, I've been through things, that's why I wanted to hold an umbrella for you, because I'm your good friend."

Shu Tong: "You and the boss have a very good relationship. Aren't you worried? Uncle Liu has always wanted you to marry Chen Heng, and he won't allow you to marry a bandit."

"Can you give up the Liu family?"

Wen Wan: "I didn't give up the Liu family, but I chose myself. My father loves me, but he loves power, status, and wealth more. There are many things ahead of me. I told him that I don't love Chen Heng, but I couldn't change his mind. Even now, after I have become Gu Weiming's wife, my father still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​marrying me off to the Chen family. So I chose myself and chose to stay. I don't regret it."
