Faced with the second master's warning and threats, Wen Yi remained calm, not even her eyelashes trembled.
She wasn't faking it.
From the moment Wen Yi was forced to marry into the Imperial Garden, she had already prepared for the worst.
Death, disfigurement, torture.
The greatest pain is nothing more than being unable to live or die. Wen Yi had imagined and anticipated this, so when he actually faced it, it was just like that.
In fact, if things were too peaceful while he was suffering from this illness, Wen Yi would feel uneasy.
Wen Yi remained silent, simply watching the Second Master before him, awaiting a result.
Wen Yi discovered that besides his terrifying appearance, this man also had particularly cold eyes, carrying a gloomy feeling. He was indeed, as outsiders said, a cold-blooded demon.
However, just as Wen Yi was waiting for a result, the man suddenly chuckled, touched Wen Yi's face, pushed her away, and Wen Yi sat down on the bench next to him.
The man sat on the sofa, shaking his head, looking at Wen Yi with a rather amusing expression.
Wen Yi wasn't afraid at first, but when this man suddenly faced her in this manner, she immediately felt a chill spread from the bottom of her heart, so much so that she couldn't help but shiver, and her spine went numb all the way to the top of her head.
"The young bride that the Wen family sent me is quite interesting," the other party commented.
Wen Yi remained seated, trying to speak, but unsure how to begin.
After another two or three minutes, when the other party still hadn't spoken, Wen Yi mustered up her courage and said, "Second Master, you came back in the middle of the night and woke me up again. It wasn't to confirm whether I'm an interesting person, right?"
"Are you implying that I should get to the point?"
"That's true."
Gu Huaixu sat on the sofa, listening to Wen Yi say those words with a blank expression, but he still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When she first met Wen Yi, she wasn't so straightforward. Now it seems like she's given up and says whatever comes to mind.
Moreover, Wen Yi is not the kind of person who is very beautiful and stunning, nor is she the kind who is very ugly and sharp. Her features are relatively gentle, and gentleness has always been the attractive point of Wen Yi. It is precisely this gentleness that makes Wen Yi look blank and lifeless when she is expressionless.
He didn't show any ferocity; his body was rather clumsy.
It's very cute.
The adorable Gu Huaixu wanted to hold the person in his arms and linger on them.
Unfortunately, he met Wen Yi a little too late. Gu Huaixu's identity had already been used up and could not be continued. Now and in the future, the only identity he could have with Wen Yi was that of the Second Master of Yutingyuan.
"I did ask you to come here because of something."
Gu Huaixu spoke in a calm tone, leaning back on the sofa, taking out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, and lighting it.
"Can I have one?" Wen asked expressionlessly.
Gu Huaixu raised an eyebrow, "You can?"
"Would you need to do that?" Wen asked, tilting her head.
She didn't bother with any more words. Since the other person had just lit a cigarette, she reached out and took it, then bent down and took a puff.
The taste of nicotine immediately filled my entire mouth.
It wasn't so pungent, and it even captivated Wen Yi a little.
She lowered her head and took a few more puffs.
Gu Huaixu, having his cigarette snatched away, didn't seem inclined to light another one. He simply leaned back on the sofa, watching Wen Yi smoke indifferently.
When he was with Wen Yi, Gu Huaixu paid close attention to these details. At first, he would never smoke in front of Wen Yi and would avoid it. Later, Wen Yi pulled him aside and told him that she did not have any aversion to it and that he could smoke normally.
Although Gu Huaixu had explained the issue of secondhand smoke to Wen Yi, Wen Yi wouldn't listen and wouldn't let Gu Huaixu leave, leaving Gu Huaixu with no choice. Every time Wen Yi smoked, he would see her staring at him with a fixed gaze, though this gaze was brief, Gu Huaixu caught it several times.
On several occasions, Gu Huaixu was quite narcissistic, thinking that Wen Yi liked his looks.
But now it seems that Wen Yi wanted to try smoking, but was too embarrassed to ask him back then. Now that he's given up and has no more worries, Wen Yi is calm and just follows his own whims.
Just do whatever you want.
Gu Huaixu was also curious to know just how unrestrained Wen Yi would be when she let loose.
After Wen Yi finished her cigarette, Gu Huaixu lit another one and offered it to her.
Wen Yi did not refuse.
I smoked one cigarette, but didn't get any taste. It wasn't until the second one that I started to feel something. But Wen Yi didn't forget his business.
“Second Master, you can just say what you have to say.” Wen said, holding a cigarette between his fingers. “I believe you are a man who values time like money. Wasting your time with me like this is a waste of your time. You might as well be more direct and say what you have to say.”
Gu Huaixu raised an eyebrow.
My sister is quite impressive. After smoking two cigarettes, she became extremely relaxed and is now taking the lead.
Gu Huaixu was pleased to see Wen Yi's change of heart. "Since the Second Madam prefers directness, I won't be coy either."
"Please speak, Second Master." Wen Yi casually stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
Gu Huaixu smiled and said, "I want you to join the cast of 'Sword and Qin'."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yi's expression froze for a moment, then she frowned, "The 'Sword and Qin' production team..."
“I have an investment that needs to go through this production crew, and I’m also negotiating a purchase plan for the filming location. I need someone to go into the core of the ‘Sword and Qin’ production crew to investigate the information I need.”
The other party made their purpose very clear, and Wen Yi understood exactly what they wanted to do. But what Wen Yi found strange was that the place wanted her to do this.
In situations like this, the company has its own dedicated personnel who are more professional and suitable, so it's not Wen Yi's turn at all.
“The Imperial Garden never employs idlers; I need to know what your role is.”
Gu Huaixu noticed Wen Yi's confusion and, without waiting for her to ask, gave her the answer directly: "I want to see where your abilities lie."
"I'm incapable..."
"Are you sure you want to ruin yourself like this, huh?" Gu Huaixu stared at Wen Yi and questioned, "I arranged for you to marry into the Imperial Garden and settle down here. Don't you want to use this opportunity to prove your abilities, or to do whatever you want to do?"
"Why should Imperial Garden give me this opportunity?"
"Is it enough that you are the second wife of the Imperial Garden?" Gu Huaixu's gaze deepened as he stared at Wen Yi, his words absolutely domineering.
Wen Yi's heart skipped a beat.
She genuinely didn't know what this second master wanted to do. So far, he hadn't really made things difficult for her; in fact, he even wanted her to join the Imperial Garden's business empire.
“I need a wife; the previous ones don’t meet my requirements. But if you can, then I will give you the position of mistress of the Imperial Garden,” Gu Huaixu said, but Wen Yi sensed another meaning in his words…
