Around 9 p.m. that evening, Qin Yiheng told Shangguan Wu some bad news.
"Xiao's [Allure] perfume has been on the market for a week and the response has been very enthusiastic. The early publicity was well done. I just heard that their sales have exceeded 10 billion."
However, Qin Yiheng spoke of it casually, even more so than when they were discussing which elder's cooking was more delicious.
Seeing that she didn't react, Qin Yiheng dropped another bombshell: "I plan to launch the [Charm] perfume on the eve of the Lunar New Year. This will be a full 25 days late, and the Xiao family will be revitalized."
Shangguan Wu casually replied, "Oh."
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you worried?"
"If you're not worried, why should I be?" Shangguan Wu pouted. This guy was in a bad mood and was joking with her again. Enough already.
With the Xiao family's perfume leading the way, showcasing the rise of domestic perfumes to the Chinese people, once [Meise] makes its grand entrance, Xiao Jingming will probably have a hard time celebrating the New Year.
Suddenly, Shangguan Wu felt that he could remove the word 'estimate'.
This cousin chose to launch the [Charm] perfume on the eve of the Lunar New Year, which means he had no intention of letting Xiao Jingming celebrate the New Year.
Qin Yiheng clicked his tongue: "Not cute at all."
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said nonchalantly, "As long as my husband thinks I'm cute, that's enough."
Qin Yiheng's teeth ached.
His little cousin never gets tired of saying "my husband," but he's tired of hearing it.
"Go out."
Goodnight, cousin.
Shangguan Wu quickly got up.
Qin Yiheng called out to her, "Wait a minute."
Shangguan Wu stopped opening the door and turned to look at him: "Is there anything else?"
Qin Yiheng said, "The Xiao family is holding a victory celebration banquet tomorrow night. You'll come with me."
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "Big cousin, you made me go on blind dates with you during the day, and then you made me go to a celebration party at night? Are you treating me like a secretary?"
"Whose secretary needs to do personal work? Gu Si's?"
Shangguan Wu retorted, "That's not true! Don't talk nonsense!"
Qin Yiheng didn't argue with her, but instead offered a bait: "Maybe Gu Si is also at the celebration banquet. Don't you want to see him?"
Suddenly, Shangguan Wu realized what was going on.
So that's what he meant by letting her meet her husband!
Why didn't you say so when you were in the car?
"I forgot."
"..."
Shangguan Wu rolled her eyes speechlessly, opened the door and walked out of the study.
She went downstairs back to her room, a pink princess room.
I had just lain down in bed when someone called me on video.
She rolled over, pulled the pillow over to press it under her chest, ruffled her curly hair a couple of times, and then answered the video call.
Upon seeing the man in the video, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
"Honey~"
"Happy?"
Looking at her smile, Gu Yunzhen felt all her fatigue disappear and felt even more eager to bring her back.
Seeing his silhouette, Shangguan Wu asked in surprise, "Are you in the car?"
"Hmm, I'll go back to staying home."
"You've arrived in the capital?"
Shangguan Wu sat up abruptly, her tone filled with surprise.
Gazing into her bright, watery eyes, Gu Yunzhen's heart stirred: "Madam, how about a drive tonight?"
Shangguan Wu nodded with a grin: "Okay, okay!"
She got out of bed and hurried toward the door.
Gu Yunzhen reminded her, "No rush, I'll be there in forty minutes. It's cold outside, remember to wear more clothes."
"oh."
Shangguan Wu turned back and picked out a light yellow coat from the wardrobe. It was very eye-catching and full of youthful energy when she put it on.
"Honey, do I look pretty?"
She held up her phone to show him her whole body.
Gu Yunzhen looked at her tenderly and said softly, "Beautiful."
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "Is it just that you're good-looking? Is it the clothes that are good-looking, or the person?"
Gu Yunzhen's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Instantly, his survival instinct kicked in: "Because Madam is beautiful, she looks good in anything. Madam is more beautiful than anyone else."
Shangguan Wu immediately beamed with joy.
"Does she look good even without makeup?"
"It looks better."
"So I look worse with makeup than without?"
"...No, it is the lady's natural beauty that is even more unforgettable."
To avoid this potentially troublesome topic, Gu Yunzhen proactively asked, "Is Madam settling in well at the Qin family?"
Although the Qin family is her maternal grandparents' family, they have only recently become relatives, and she doesn't have a deep relationship with them. Now that she is suddenly living in the Qin family, she will inevitably feel uncomfortable.
"They are all very nice people..."
Shangguan Wu said that everyone liked her from the moment she entered the room, and they even decorated a princess room for her.
As she spoke, she showed Gu Yunzhen photos of the room.
Then she said that her maternal grandmother and two aunts-in-law cooked delicious meals for her, and her maternal grandfather and two uncles also treated her very well.
It was clear she was very happy; Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes were full of smiles.
As the time was almost up, Shangguan Wu hung up the video call, happily walked out of the room, and went downstairs.
When Butler Luo saw Shangguan Wu come downstairs, he greeted her with a smile: "Is Miss Shangguan going out?"
Because of the old lady's instructions, all the servants in the Qin family called Miss Qin "Miss" and treated her as a girl from the Qin family.
This is because the Shangguan family elders were unaware of the situation; otherwise, they would have taken their granddaughter back.
The Shangguan family now only has one son and daughter-in-law left, and only three granddaughters. If your Qin family wants a girl, go have one yourself! Your three grandsons are all of marriageable age, so you can have as many great-granddaughters as you want!
Uncle Luo advised with concern, "It's so late, it might not be safe for Miss San to go out. If it's not urgent, we can deal with it tomorrow."
