Chapter 17 You'll Never Compare to My Husband



Hearing the footsteps approaching from behind, Gu Yunzhen stopped and said firmly, "Don't follow me!"

Shangguan Wu stood there, stunned.

Did we go too far just now?

I guess so. He came out so quickly; I wonder how he managed to solve his problem. It's understandable that he's angry.

After calming herself down, Shangguan Wu turned and went back to her bedroom.

After calming down, Gu Yunzhen returned to her room and saw Shangguan Wu lying face down on the bed, her two feet rhythmically bobbing up and down on the blanket.

He got closer and realized she was writing something.

What kind of bad habit is this?

Gu Yunzhen frowned: "Go to the study and finish writing before you come back."

"No! I'll finish writing it soon."

Shangguan Wu exclaimed in surprise and quickened his pace.

Gu Yunzhen glanced at it twice, and was clearly taken aback when she saw the word 'husband'.

He asked calmly, "What did you write?"

Shangguan Wu glanced at him: "It's a summary of your treatment this time! Honey, lend me your hand for a moment."

Gu Yunzhen did not move.

Shangguan Wu sat up and moved to his side, saying apologetically, "I should have taken your pulse in the bathroom before we came out. I'm sorry, this won't happen again."

After he finished speaking, he reached out to check Gu Yunzhen's wrist for her pulse.

Gu Yunzhen looked down at her hand.

He didn't expect that she was lying on the bed recording these things.

I didn't expect her to apologize.

Perhaps she's not entirely without merit, besides being pretty.

Shangguan Wu stopped and comforted her, saying, "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a gradual process. This is your first treatment, so it's normal not to feel any changes yet. Don't worry, I'm here, and I'll help you get back on your feet."

Gu Yunzhen suddenly looked up at her.

In that instant, his gaze met hers—a gaze that was confident, gentle, and resolute.

For a moment, he completely believed what she said.

He will definitely be able to get back up!

"Finished writing?"

"Oh! I'm still missing your pulse, I..."

Before Shangguan Wu could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen interrupted him: "Hurry up and write."

Although they were urging her, they didn't kick her out of the room.

Shangguan Wu smiled silently, pursing her lips.

After I finished writing, before turning off the lights.

She smiled at Gu Yunzhen lying on the bed, her voice sweet and soft: "Honey, I really want to roll over and snuggle into your arms when I'm sleeping. Just thinking about it is so sweet!"

His response was a cold, emotionless two-word reply: "Turn off the lights."

Shangguan Wu sighed softly.

The revolution is not yet complete; comrades, we must continue our efforts!

The next morning, a magnificent sunrise gradually appeared in the east, revealing a pink dawn that slowly turned deep red, eventually dyeing the entire sky of Nagano City crimson.

It's another beautiful day.

Shangguan Wu and Gu Yunzhen had breakfast together and then headed to the company.

"Honey, I'll be home soon, don't miss me too much!"

As she left, Shangguan Wu waved sweetly to him.

Old Man You was taking a sip of mung bean porridge when he choked.

"It's so good to be young!"

Old Man You looked at his little darling with envy, then suddenly chuckled, "She's just too clingy, isn't she?"

Gu Yunzhen swept her cool gaze over him.

"Cough cough cough..." Old Man You coughed in shock, stopped drinking his porridge, and said, "Since you have Wu Bao here, I won't get involved. I'm going back to the Imperial City today. If you need anything, have Eleven contact me."

Gu Yunzhen reminded him, "Don't mention her."

Old Man You was also worried that the three above would fly over immediately, and it might even alarm the two overseas, so he planned to keep it a secret for him until his leg recovered.

However, this did not stop the old man from teasing him, saying, "But I have been treating your leg the whole time. If I suddenly go back, given how much they care about you, how could they not ask you everything?"

Gu Yunzhen's voice was slightly cold: "Then go somewhere else."

Old Man You: ...There's no home for him anywhere else!

Please, have some decency, you brat!

"Alright, alright, I'll find you a perfect excuse to get through this. Just relax and nurture your relationship with Wu Bao here. It would be even better if you brought a little baby back to the Imperial City!"

To this, Gu Yunzhen responded: Hehe!

His perfectionism is usually riddled with flaws.

If the rest is unreliable, you can simply ignore it.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Wu was on his way to Tiansong Entertainment.

She received a call from Song Hongying.

She said He Xiu was waiting for her at the company.

Shangguan Wu asked in confusion, "Why are you waiting for me?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to sign a new contract with him? Maybe you're worried that things might get complicated. His agent told me that if he wasn't afraid of upsetting you, he would have gone back to the company last night to sign a new contract!"

"Okay, I'll be at the company in fifteen minutes."

Shangguan Wu then hung up the phone.

But less than three minutes later, another call came in.

It's an unfamiliar number in this city.

Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow and answered the call.

"Fourth Miss, I am Quan Tianrui. I'd like to talk to you, is that alright?"

"Can't."

"..."

Quan Tianrui suddenly said urgently, "It's related to our engagement."

Shangguan Wu pursed her lips and suggested in a kind tone, "I'm sorry, I'm already married, but my cousin is unmarried. If you marry her, it won't affect the marriage alliance between our two families!"

Quan Tianrui's face darkened on the other end of the phone: "Are you sure you want to spend your life with a cripple?"

A cold glint appeared in Shangguan Wushui's eyes, her tone laced with sarcasm: "My husband won't be disabled for life, but some people are mentally retarded for life."
