"Then I..." Sheng Wu smiled, "I'll just call you Gui Wu. Mister is too distant."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Only then did Chen Guiwu's brows relax.

After eating, taking medicine, and chatting for a while, it's time to go to bed.

But Chen Guiwu looked at Sheng Wu lying in the quilt, with his head exposed and a pair of bright eyes staring at him without blinking, and his hands were unable to continue unbuttoning his robe.

"Awu, you..."

"You want my help? Sure!" He was about to ask if she could close her eyes and go to sleep first, but she suddenly interrupted him.

Then Sheng Wu lifted the quilt and knelt on the bed. She came to him and started to untie his long gown.

Chen Guiwu swallowed the words he was about to say and stood by the bed, watching Sheng Wu undress him.

"Awu, it's getting cold lately, I'd better keep one piece of underwear."

But when it came to the last piece of underwear, his motionless hands suddenly grabbed Sheng Wu's fingertips on his abdominal muscles.

His warm eyes held a hint of deep meaning, and even though he was a man in his forties, he felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

Hearing this, Sheng Wu smiled reservedly, "Well, that's fine. Come up quickly, it's time to turn off the lights."

After saying that, she lay back down on her inner side without any hesitation, then patted the bed next to her and looked at him with clear and innocent eyes.

There seems to be nothing wrong in his thinking.

Chen Guiwu agreed to stay with her, and without hesitation, he turned off the lights, lifted the quilt, and lay down on the bed.

"Return to Wu."

"Yeah, I'm here."

"Don't you like me?"

"Why do you say that?"

"I've heard that couples sleep in each other's arms, why don't you..."

In just one second, the two people who were half a meter apart were instantly embraced.

With her palms resting on the man's chest, which looked thinner but was actually muscular, Sheng Wu curled her lips in satisfaction in the dim light.

"Can we go to bed now, Mrs. Shen?"

"Well then, good night, Mr. Shen."

......

The second day.

When Sheng Wu woke up, the seat next to him was empty.

The two of them slept soundly that night and did not do anything inappropriate.

At most, Shengwu would touch his abdominal muscles under the guise of sleepwalking.

Sheng Wu put on her shoes and opened the dark red wooden wardrobe. She saw that it was filled with cheongsams made of pure silk, which were of the highest quality.

She casually picked up a light blue tasseled cheongsam, sat in front of the dressing table, and glanced at it casually.

Although the original owner was a leading actress, her hair was permed into the most fashionable slightly curly style. Perhaps because she was only nineteen years old, the charm between her eyebrows and eyes had not yet fully developed, but there was a kind of stunning and clean taste in her purity.

Especially after practicing Hua Dan, there is a unique charm and elegance in every gesture, like...

Canaries in captivity.

Then Sheng Wu stood up and opened the door.

As soon as I went out, I saw Chunxi, who was guarding, walking towards me in small steps.

"Mrs."

"Where's Guiwu?"

"ah?"

For a moment, Chunxi didn't realize who she was talking about. After all, no one in the Shen family mansion dared to call the master so directly.

"Oh, sir, someone from the Chamber of Commerce asked him to come over this morning, so he told me not to disturb you and to take you to dinner after you woke up."

Hearing this, Sheng Wu remembered what Chen Guiwu said last night, that he was now the president of the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the Shen family is a big family with strong industries to manage.

"Well, take me to dinner then."

"Yes, ma'am."

As he spoke, Chunxi walked beside him and led Shengwu for a distance along the corridor of the main courtyard. During this brief process, Shengwu truly experienced the financial strength of the Shen family.

"Hello, ma'am."

"Hello, ma'am."

In just a short distance, Shengwu met more than twenty servants and maids on the road, all dressed in uniform. The house was magnificent, with several ponds and gardens, and its design was similar to that of Suzhou gardens.

"Um."

Sheng Wu nodded slightly neither humbly nor arrogantly, and then came to the place where they were having dinner.

But she was alone, and looking at the table full of exquisite dishes, Sheng Wu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Guiwu won't come back to eat?"

Chunxi shook his head. "I don't know about that either. Anyway, the master is usually very busy, and it's not for servants to inquire about his schedule. If he wants to come back for dinner, he will ask Butler Zhang to come back and let him know in advance."

"......Then, where is Shen Junsheng?" Sheng Wu lowered her eyes, holding a pair of chopsticks inlaid with white jade in her hand, and picked up a piece of cake.

This seemed to be a taboo. When Chunxi heard the three words "Shen Junsheng", a look of panic immediately appeared on his face.

"Madam, I don't know much, and the Shen family doesn't allow servants to gossip, but the master has instructed that I can tell you anything you want to know, so..."

The Shen family was wealthy and powerful, but they also had many rules. Although the Republic of China advocated many ideas, the personal freedom of their servants was still restricted.

Sheng Wu knew what she meant, "Don't worry, I won't say anything more."

Chunxi looked around before daring to continue.

"Shen Junsheng is the master's eldest son, but he has the worst relationship with the master. Every time he comes home, he and the master have a big quarrel. Moreover, he is not as gentle as the master. He has a bad temper and gets angry at the slightest provocation. I even heard that the eldest son once beat a servant of the Shen family to death, apparently because he said something wrong..."

Hearing this, Sheng Wu noticed the blind spot, and the chopsticks in her hand stopped. The pastry in her mouth no longer smelled fragrant, and she looked up at Chunxi.
