Shen Yu'nan suddenly snorted coldly, a sneer appearing on his lips as he muttered under his breath, "What a clever tactic."
'They're using Pei Wu to get rid of the Shen family.'
Shen Yu Nan had witnessed Gu Yan Yu's methods before. His innocent and pure appearance and seemingly innocent behavior were exactly what women liked most, but beneath that innocent exterior lay a cunning and shrewd man.
Upon closer reflection, Gu Yanyu's biological father passed away early, and he was always raised under the name of the Gu family's husband. The Gu family's husband had his own sons and daughters to raise, so he probably wouldn't put much effort into raising this son born to someone else.
The Gu family's family environment is complicated. If Gu Yanyu wants to survive in such an environment and marry the Xu family's daughter as he wishes, it's impossible for him to be without scheming and means. But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Perhaps only by pretending to be a magnanimous and kind-hearted white lotus can he survive in the Gu family's environment.
The fact that Gu Yanyu can still survive in the Xu family despite having a bad reputation for bringing misfortune to his wife and in-laws shows that he is not as simple as he appears on the surface.
Shen Yunan didn't know what kind of life Gu Yanyu lived in the Xu family in private, but on the surface, he still maintained the decorum befitting a husband of the Xu family.
That's quite a... tactic.
Seeing that Shen Yunan was in a daze, Cheng Tong spoke up again, "Anyway, congratulations Mr. Shen on your happy marriage. You've taken another big step closer to completing your mission."
"Ahem..." Shen Yunan only managed to pull himself out of his reverie after hearing Cheng Tong's words. He glanced at Cheng Tong and said, "The one who married Miss Pei was Ye Shaosang, not me, Shen Yunan."
Shen Yu Nan spoke slowly, without revealing any emotional fluctuations.
At this moment, Cheng Tong also noticed the content on Shen Yu Nan's phone: "Most of these reporters are just trying to grab attention and generate traffic, so these news stories are the most unreliable."
“…” Shen Yu Nan remained silent.
He seemed to want to sit up, but unfortunately, his body was too weak from lying down for so long. Shen Yu Nan barely managed to sit up by supporting himself on the bed, but even his hands supporting him on the bed were trembling slightly.
He didn't know whether it was due to his own physical condition or because he was angered by the news he had just seen.
He had a burning desire inside him.
"Is it only one day this time?"
"Yes." Cheng Tong helped Shen Yunan up. "This is a backup phone prepared for you by the research institute. The number is new and linked to WeChat. There is money in your WeChat wallet, enough for Mr. Shen's daily expenses. Also, here are some changes of clothes for you. If needed, there is a changing room in there."
"Um."
"Then I'll take my leave now, Mr. Shen, please make yourself at home."
After Cheng Tong finished speaking, she left the room.
Shen Yu Nan glanced at the clean clothes and phone placed beside him. He only had one day to return to his original body, and he didn't know what he should do.
He even wondered if Pei Wu, upon waking up and seeing the cold, lifeless 'Ye Shaosang,' felt as empty as he did right now.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu Nan sighed heavily.

Perhaps because she was drunk, Pei Wu woke up later than usual on the second day of her marriage.
Pei Wu slowly woke up and looked at the still dimly lit room. She was still very confused. She reached out and touched her phone and realized that it was already past ten o'clock. She did not move the other arm that Shao Sang was using to support her head.
This was the first time the two had slept in the same bed, and they were embracing each other in an intimate pose.
Pei Wu's arm, which had been used as a pillow all night, was feeling numb and sore lately.
Although she had been drinking last night, Pei Wu still remembered this encounter compared to the previous one. She remembered Shao Sang's trembling body, her watery eyes, and the reddened corners of her eyes.
He usually speaks softly and gently, but I never expected him to be so restrained when it comes to matters of the heart. He gripped Pei Wu's arm so tightly that it hurt her, but he kept his lips tightly pressed together and refused to make any ambiguous sounds.
His body was stiff, his face was flushed, and his eyes were red and filled with tears, as if he had just been crying.
Thinking of this, Pei Wu unconsciously raised her eyebrows slightly, a feeling of tenderness welling up in her heart.
Shao Sang rested her head on Pei Wu's arm, her whole body curled up in Pei Wu's arms, with only some of her black hair showing.
Pei Wu hadn't planned to wake Shao Sang, but on the second day of their marriage, they should have served tea to Pei's mother and the elders in the family. Pei Wu reached out to turn on the light, and the movement caused the blankets on the two of them to slip down slightly. Only then did Pei Wu notice the red light flashing behind Shao Sang's neck.
"Out of power?"
Pei Wu felt Shao Sang, whose body temperature was still warm, in her arms.
Shao Sang hadn't lost power for a long time. The last time it happened was after they were intimate. Thinking about how she had bitten Shao Sang twice and left two bloody holes, Pei Wu immediately checked the chip on the back of her neck. Seeing that her actions weren't too excessive, she felt a little relieved.
However, the marks on Shao Sang's body still hinted at the absurdity of the two last night, with the dark and light marks on the red sheets adding to the ambiguity.
However, Shao Sang's charging case was not placed in the main house, but in their newly purchased house. After Pei Wu greeted her mother, she took Shao Sang back to the newly purchased house first.
Before leaving, Pei Wu first offered a cup of tea to her mother and apologized, promising to bring Shao Sang back for a meal once he recovered.
Mother Pei would never hold such a grudge against her daughter. She would just laugh it off. Even if the other elders in the family harbored resentment, they saw that the head of the family did not criticize her too harshly, so they did not say anything more.
Among the Pei family members, only Pei's mother and Mo You knew that Ye Shaosang was just a robot.
The other elders assumed that Pei Wu and her husband had gone too far on their wedding night, and that the newlywed husband couldn't even get out of bed. The whole family was waiting for their turn to drink tea, but they hadn't even received their share. They thought to themselves, 'Men from humble families have no manners at all.'
After Pei Wu took Shao Sang back to their new house, she put her in the charging case to charge. On the way back, Pei Wu called Dr. Sun to inquire about the situation before she felt relieved.
Lying in the charging case, Shao Sang looked as if she were asleep. Her eyes were closed as she slept, and she looked like a delicate doll sold in a boutique. Pei Wu reached out and brushed the bangs on the other's forehead, with a faint smile on her face.
She looked forward to what Shao Sang would say to her after waking up and getting married.
