"Does Second Master mean that I shouldn't resist, and should just let Linna drug me and let me be gang-raped by several people while the broadcast is live?"
Wen leaned on the sofa, getting closer to look at Master Gu.
Her eyes were cold, and although her attitude was aggressive, she was trying her best to control her anger.
She thought it was outrageous.
At that moment, Master Gu suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Yi's head, forcing her to get closer to him.
"So, what kind of answer do you want from me by pressing me like this?"
"What kind of answer do I want?" Wen Yi found this question absurd. "Do you think I'm asking you for an answer right now?"
"Isn't that so?"
Wen Yi pushed the man away. "I think you're overthinking things, Second Master. I've already done my part, and I don't need answers from you. To be precise, I don't need your approval!"
Wen Yi raised her chin, her gaze sharp and stubborn.
Gu Huaixu watched silently, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Because of Wen Yi's statement, "I don't need to get validation from you."
An outstanding girl who always needed others' approval and longed to be seen finally gave up her obsessions, no longer needing anyone's approval to do anything, and learned to cultivate a sense of pride in herself.
At this moment, Gu Huaixu felt more gratified than anything else.
He stood up from the sofa. "In that case, you have to be prepared to bear all the consequences."
“I considered all the consequences when I did this, including if you want to take revenge on me for Lina’s sake. I don’t care, I’ll wait.”
Are you declaring war on me?
"From beginning to end, it was you who declared war on me, not me!"
"Then you can stop now, I won't declare war on you." Gu Huaixu left the sofa and was about to walk towards the door, but suddenly turned back, grabbed Wen Yi's waist, and pressed her down onto the sofa.
Wen Yi was shocked.
Gu Huaixu pressed closer, "I will not declare war on my wife. I will support whatever my wife does, even if it means declaring war on others, understand, Madam."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yi was shocked, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Gu Huaixu smiled and said, "Madam, you should learn to trust your husband. We share both honor and disgrace, and we will never become enemies who declare war on each other."
After finishing his sentence, Gu Huaixu released Wen Yi and turned to leave the room.
Even after the room door closed, Wen Yi was still a little dazed.
Because of what Master Gu said when he left.
'Madam, you should learn to trust your husband.'
'We share both glory and shame, and will never become enemies who declare war.'
These two sentences are very impactful.
Even if they agreed to become a couple and meet each other's requirements, Wen Yi never imagined sharing both glory and hardship with that man.
Similarly, Wen Yi never imagined that this man would share her joys and sorrows.
Wen Yi slumped onto the blanket, still somewhat dazed from her conversation with Master Gu.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Wen Yi came to her senses.
"Second Madam, may I come in?" It was Xiao Kongkong's voice.
Wen Yi composed herself, propped herself up on her hands, and stood up from the ground. "Come in."
When Wen Yi stood up, she realized that her legs were numb from maintaining one position for so long.
Seeing this, Xiao Kongkong hurriedly came over to comfort Wen Yi, "Second Madam, should we call the family doctor over?"
"No need, my legs just went numb," Wen Yi explained, propping herself up on her hands as she sat down on the sofa. It took her a while to recover.
"Is there something you need?" Wen asked.
Xiao Kongkong hurriedly handed the documents in her hand to Wen Yi, "I told you before that I was going to attend a banquet, but the time has been moved up, and it will be held in two days."
"I remember that I was required to perform the opening dance on behalf of Master Gu."
"Yes, you'll be dancing the opening dance with Mr. Zhan, and this Mr. Zhan is a bit of a problem."
"What trouble?"
“Mr. Zhan was in a car accident years ago, which damaged his lumbar nerves and caused him to lose the ability to move below the waist, so…” Xiao Kongkong hesitated before continuing.
Wen Yi immediately understood, "So, the most troublesome thing about the opening dance with this Mr. Zhan is that Mr. Zhan is in a wheelchair, right?"
"Since his injury, Mr. Zhan has always refused banquets like this. It's strange that he suddenly agreed this time, but no one dares to say anything. The Zhan family is the most powerful family in Haicheng, second only to the Gu family."
"The Zhan family was originally a prominent family in Beijing, but it is said that due to the power struggle among prominent families in Beijing at that time, the Zhan family chose to retreat to Haicheng and live a peaceful family life in order to protect themselves."
"What is Mr. Zhan's temperament like?" Wen asked.
She flipped through the documents, which contained historical information about these families, as well as information about some of the more prominent figures.
The only one missing is Mr. Zhan.
Xiao Kongkong thought for a moment, then said, "This Mr. Zhan's temperament is not so easy to define."
For example, before the car accident, Mr. Zhan was known for his gentle and refined manners. Some said he was a smiling tiger, while others said that after his injury, his temper became much stranger, unpredictable, and quite violent.
"But there are also rumors that before Mr. Zhan was injured, he was unpredictable and violent, but after the injury, he became much gentler and always smiled at people, like a spring breeze."
Listening to Xiao Kongkong's account, Wen gleaned a crucial point: "Why is it all just hearsay?"
"Has no one had any contact with this Mr. Zhan all these years?"
Xiao Kongkong shook his head. "Before the car accident, Mr. Zhan rarely attended crowded occasions. After the accident, he attended even fewer. So all we know is hearsay, and there's no truly positive description of him."
Now that you mention it, Wen Yi understands why all these documents contain detailed information about everyone except for Mr. Zhan, who has no information at all.
"Is it because I was asked why I was required to represent Second Master at the opening dance of this banquet, and even to dance the opening dance with Mr. Zhan?" Wen Yi closed the document.
"My information is that Mr. Zhan has set a condition: he can participate, but Second Master must also participate, and he must dance the opening dance with Second Master."
"Huh?" Wen Yi was shocked. "You mean, the person specifically asked to dance the opening dance with Second Master?"
Shockingly, the opening dance is usually a waltz performed by men and women together.
Wen Yi didn't know if it was because she was ignorant, but for the first time she realized that it was possible to ask two men to dance a waltz.
Xiao Kongkong was also in a dilemma, "This is the information I received. For specifics... we need to ask Second Master."
Xiao Kongkong spoke the last sentence very softly and cautiously.
Mentioning Master Gu, Wen Yi couldn't help but recall what Master Gu had just said.
In fact, Wen Yi did not fully understand what attitude and circumstances he had when he said that sentence.
